Magia Record Story And So, The Azaleas Bloom

Due to the size and non-linear nature of the event, the story summary will have it's own page.

Ayame 1

Konoha Shizumi and Hazuki Yusa are waiting for their partner Ayame Mikuri in order to fight a witch together. Suddenly Ayame rushes in and attacks the witch. Ayamae says she was seperated from the others when she was chasing a familiar. Hazuki and Konoha says she keeps getting lost and coming back all the time. The narration explains these girls are connected by a bond deeper than blood. Afterward, the trio appear to be moving into a new house that Hazuki found. Ayame brings in her treasure box, where she stores random things she finds she on the ground. Her most recent addition is a bicycle bell she found after beating the witch. Hazuki and Konoha say that at least she's not picking up insect carcasses anymore. Ayame narrates that she's been with Konoha and Hazuki ever since they were little, when they met at "Tsuzuji's House" (Azalea's House)

Hazuki 1

Hazuki narrates that when she was little her family went to a hot spring resort. As they were coming home a car ran them over, killing her parents. Hazuki only survived because her parents protected her. Hazuki was bounced around between relatives until she came to Tsuzuji's House, an orphanage. Ever since her parents died, Hazuki hid her true feelings with a smile. Hazuki then met the Directory of Tsuzuji, an aging woman. The Director quickly saw through Hazuki's mask and told her she didn't have to make a smile like that. which made Hazuki cry. Tsuzuji would become Hazuki's favorite place, where Hazuki and her friends all understood each other. She narrates that Konoha was like their big sister.

Konoha 1

Konoha's father was a successful businessman. After Konoha was born, his fortunes turned and he died from an anxiety-induced illness. Konoha's mother died as well, and she was brought to Tsuzuji's House. With the help of the Director, Konoha was able to recover from her parents' deaths. Hazuki would arrive later, also saved by the director. Konoha and Hazuki would become friends. Sometime later the Director introduced the girls to Ayame, who was found abandoned in a back alley. Ayame says all she can remember of her parents was a big hand pulling her own. Konoha and Hazuki were placed in charge of looking after Ayame. For awhile, Konoha's world was Tsuzuji's House and what was essentially her surrogate family, until one day...

Hazuki 2

Konoha overhears the Director arguing with the Tsuzuji's Vice-Director. They are arguing about the demolishing of Tsuzuji's House. Konoha tells Hazuki, who is horrified. Konoha explains the Director was against it and it was the first time she ever heard the Director raise her voice like that. However, the Vice-Director was the one who brought up the demolishing in the first place. Hazuki says the Vice-Director was there even before Konoha came, and wonders why the Vice-Director would want to demolish the place. Konoha thinks that someone is always trying to ruin their lives, pointing out that everyone who comes to Tsuzuji have had their lives gone wrong like this. The girls decide not to tell Ayame and to speak to the Director about this.

Konoha 2

The girls talk to the Director who explains that a brand new orphanage program has been instituted by the government. Orphans from across the country would be sent to newly built institutions with a new educational curriculum. Tsuzuji was chosen to be the first institution to be integrated into this program - which means the orphanage would be demolished and the children separated. The girls ask what they can do, and the Director says they can listen to her complaints when she's tired. She promises to do something about it, and tells the girls to do what they always do. Afterward Konoha and Hazuki look on the internet and find the new program is surrounded by rumors of political and corporate interference. They later learn the Vice-Director colluded with the government and was behind the demolition in the first place. They learned this after the Director collapsed.

Ayame 2

Though the Director said it was just fatigue, she dies shortly afterward. Ayame said it was so fast she didn't know what was happening. The girls mourn the Director's death, and Hazuki and Konoha tells Ayame about Tsuzuji being demolished. None of the girls know what will happen. Although they try to protect Tsuzuji, in the end it was decided the demolition would go through. But then it didn't...

Hazuki 3

The night before they were supposed to leave Tsuzuji, Hajime and Ayame walk around the building. Ayame apologizes for waking Hazuki up. Hazuki says she couldn't sleep eithier, but wonders why Ayame came to her and not Konoha. Ayame says she couldn't find her. She then spots Konoha talking to a strange white creature. When they get close, Kyubey introduces himself.

Konoha 3

Konoha wasn't able to sleep, so she walked around Tsuzuji until she met Kyubey. When Kyubey makes his offer to the trio, Ayame jumps at the chance to save Tsuzuji's House. The other two are more skeptical. Konoha says she alone will contract to save Tsuzuji's House, pointing out that only one of them needs to bear the risk. Hazuki says she can't let her do it alone. Hazuki asks Kyubey if there's a catch. He doesn't gave a straight answer, which is enough for Hazuki to say she can't just let Konoha contract alone. Ayame agrees with Hazuki's position. Realizing that they'll contract anyway, Konoha agrees to become magical girls together.

Hazuki 4

Ayame is about to wish, but Konoha says that since they have three wishes they should plan it out. Konoha suggests they first wish for "Tsuzuji's House to indefinitely continue to exist". She thinks they're next wish should be "erase the main cause that tried to demolish Tsuzuji's House", which will prevent other orphanages from suffering the same fate. Konoha says this is her judgement against those who tried to destroy her world. Ayame suggests using their third wish to revive the Director, but Konoha isn't sure that's right. Hazuki thinks even if the Director comes back she might not be the same person they knew. She also thinks it fails to take the Director's feelings into account. Konoha says that wish is too selfish. To the surprise of Ayame and Hazuki, she says their third wish should be "to erase us from the memories of the people involved with Tsuzuji's House", saying that they're going to have to leave.

Konoha 4

Konoha explains that they as magical girls they will have to live entirely new lives. She asks Kyubey if this is the case, who gives an unhelpful answer as expected. Konoha explains they don't know what will happen and that by erasing the memories of everyone at Tsuzuji they won't cause trouble for them. Ayame doesn't want to leave, and Konoha says these are simply her thoughts. Hazuki says she's thinks Konoha's last wish is the right thing to do, as it will also protect Tsuzuji's. Hazuki says she'll be fine with that wish and tells Ayame to make whatever wish she wants. Ayame decides to accept Konoha's plan. Afterward, Ayame wished for Tsuzuji's House to continue existing, while Konoha wished to erase the main cause of Tsuzuji's demolishing. (This leaves Hazuki with the third wish of erasing everyone's memories of them). Konoha says that as a result of her wish, all the rumors on the internet of the new orphanage program were publicly confirmed. The politicians and other parties involved were all punished, the Vice-Director left Tsuzuji's House, and the three magical girls leave themselves.

Ayame 3

Ayame narrates that after becoming magical girls they went to different places. Konoha explains that as magical girls they have to keep fighting witches forever to replenish their magic. Hazuki and Konoha are aware that it's probably a bad idea to run out, though they don't know why. For some time, they lived in a city outside of Kamihama City, looking for witches. One day, they returned to Kamihama when they learned there were more witches there. After moving into their new place, Hazuki thinks it doesn't feel like it's been that long. Konoha says they picked a school that would help them avoid meeting the children from Tsuzuji's House. Ayame narrates that Konoha has money saved up, and made more by investing in stocks. Hazuki does cooking and cleaning, causing Ayame to wonder if they're basically her parents. Ayame (poorly) draws a picture of the trio. She thinks they'll always be together, and the Director won't have to worry.

End No1 (Konoha 5)

Konoha sees a pair of strange visions. She first sees Nanaka Tokiwa saying they could have worked together, while Hazuki says she'll think of something. In her next vision she sees Yachiyo Nanami telling Rena Minami to stop. Rena insists it's not her fault. Hazuki says it's too late, and Ayame's going to die. Hazuki then falls unconscious. Ayame says she doesn't want to be alone. Konoha screams.

Konoha 6

Konoha suddenly returns to reality. Hazuki said she was spacing out. Konoha tells Ayame she bought her some ice cream. When Ayame leaves, she tells Hazuki about her vision, claiming Ayame was suffering. Konoha asks Hazuki what she was doing. Hazuki said she was staring off into space. Knoha says this is the first time this has happened to her. She wonders if the vision somehow came from another magical girl. Konoha asks Hazuki to keep this a secret from Ayame.

Konoha 7

Sometime later, the trio meet Nanaka, Akira Shinobu, Kako Natsume and Meiyui Chun, all in magical girl form. Nanaka thinks she recognizes them from school. Hazuki asks if they're friends. Kako says they are, thought Meiyui says they have only joined forces. Nanaka says they are in an alliance to fight witches. Nanaka says she observed the trio fight a familiar, and that they fought extremely well. Meiyui says her were the first ones to find the familar, but the trio beat it when they lost sight of it. Konoha asks if they're suggesting her group sold it. Kako disagrees, while Ayamae insists she found it first. When Kako expresses confusion over Ayame's speech patterns, Ayame blurts she's thirteen - which is Kako's own age.

Nanaka says that it doesn't matter who found the familiar. She asks the trio to join forces with her group. Meiyui telepathically asks her group if it's alright to ask people she just met to join. Akira says it's not much different than their first meeting, though Meiyui said that took more time. She thinks Nanaka is asking the trio on a whim. Akira guesses Nanaka is acting on her instincts, but they're Nanaka's instincts. Kako says she doesn't think their bad, guided by her instinctual powers.

Meanwhile the trio telepathically talk to each other. Konoha says they can't trust anyone other than themselves, which is how it was and always will be. Hazuki thinks they should gather more information. Ayame is suspicious of Nanaka and Meiyui, thinks Akira is strange for uses male speech patterns, and can't think of anything about Kako. Konoha says they can't trust any of them. At this point, the player is given three options.

Route Split

Let Hazuki handle this: (To be translated...) Think about it some more: (To be translated...) Konoha will negotiate: Go to Konoha 8.

Konoha 8

Konoha says she'll talk to Nanaka, despite Hazuki's protests. Konoha doesn't intend to join forces and simply wants to get information on a potential enemy. However, Nanaka doesn't give her anything to work with. All Konoha can figure out is that Nanaka is suspicious. At this point, if the player has completed certain conditions, they are given two options. Otherwise they are forced to pick the first option.

Route Split

Distance ourselves from Nanaka: Konoha decides it's better to stay away from Nanaka and asks her to leave them alone. Hazuki asks if this is alright, but Konoha says it's the safest path and they can find information elsewhere. Nanaka understands and says she can't force them to join. Konoha announces neither group will interfere with each other from now on. Nanaka says it's disappointing and that they could have worked together. Konoha recognizes those words from her vision. Nanaka's group departs, followed by the trio. Go to End No2.

End No2 (Konoha 9)

Konoha narrates she thought she didn't need connections with other magical girls. Hazuki tells Konoha she thinks the trio should join other magical girls. She says that Kamihama is getting magical girls from other cities, and worries that the group might clash with someone. Konoha says they only need to defeat witches first, but Hazuki says even that could offend someone. She also thinks Nanaka's group won't look the other way next time. Konoha says they don't need any unnecessary relationships and tells Hazuki to drop the discussion.

Unfortunately, Hazuki's fears became true. The trio got into conflicts with other magical girls over Grief Seeds. One day, Ayame suddenly collapses in front of Konoha and Hazuki, her Soul Gem crumbling apart. Konoha realizes this was the work of a magical girl. Ayame calls the names of her friends before she dies. Hazuki says it's too late as Konoha screams.
