Magia Record Mirrors Story

Layer 1

Iroha Tamaki enters a pitch black place that suddenly lights up. She says the place feels like a witch's mansion. In a flashback, Iroha gets an invitation from a witch's familiar, which shoots it at her. The invitation says in bad handwriting: "We invite you to the mansion and will welcome you with open arms" with a map to a location named "Mirror Mansion". Back in the present, Iroha finds Mitama Yakumo is at the mansion. Mitama explains she wasn't invited, she just came there on her own. Iroha asks what the mansion is. She notes the mansion is empty save for two large mirrors facing each other. Mitama thinks about how to explain things, but then pauses. She tells Iroha to be careful, and that she doesn't fight so she can't with Iroha. When Iroha asks her to explain, Mitama says it's like a ritual and Iroha should be fine. After she tells Iroha to have a good time, a familiar appears and throws Iroha into a barrier. When Iroha wakes up she sees a copy of herself. The other Iroha laughs and attacks.

Layer 2

After beating her duplicate, runs away and finds herself in the mansion's entrance. Mitama explains Iroha was in the barrier for five hours before going into more detail about the mansion, which she calls it the "Mansion of the Mirror Witch". She says the mansion belongs to a witch that delibrately invites magical girls inside, like a venus flytrap. She points to one of the mirrors and explains Iroha came out of it. Inside the mirror are the layers of the Mirror Witch's barrier. Mitama explains that the barrier has many layers that compose it, and it is nicknamed "The Mirrors Without End". Mitama says the Mirror Witch lies at the end of the barrier, but admits it's something like a rumor.

Mitama then tells Iroha that the barrier is populated by replicas. She said that when Iroha was first attacked in the mansion the familiar took her form to be copied. These copies are initially weak, but as time goes by, the witch can make more powerful copies. Iroha tells Mitama that she already fought her duplicate. Mitama says that it's alright; the witch has copies of every magical girl that came to the mansion, and that the copies are only magical duplicates. She tells Iroha to be careful since the copies may be of people she knows. Iroha decides to prepare herself to fight the Mirror Witch. Mitama tells Iroha that the Mirror Witch has some kind of hidden secret that relates to Kamihama City. (She also tells Iroha she's there because the enemies drop "Mirror Coins" which she buys from magical girls). Iroha goes into the barrier, with Mitama's encouragement.

Layer 3

After entering the barrier, Iroha finds Kaede Akino yelling at herself. Iroha quickly identifies the duplicate, as it's telling the real Kaede that she's a loser. Iroha intervenes when the fake Kaede tries to attack the real one. However, she's unable to attack the fake Kaede, even though she knows it's not the real one. The fake attacks, but is stopped by Yachiyo Nanami. Yachiyo tells Iroha to defeat the fake and move forward.
