[[Magia_Record_Story_And_So_The_Azalea_Blooms|Continued From Part 1]

Ayame 7

Kako Natsume asks Ayame Mikuri and Hazuki Yusa to meet her at the park with Felicia Mitsuki. Felicia and Kako say there's a rumor where magical girls have collapsing after fighting a witch or a familiar. The suspects are believed to be magical girls using their powers to make others faint. According to Kako, the magical girls attacked are still sleeping, though she can't verify if it's true. Kako says it's keeping magical girls from hunting witches - which may be the intent of the culprit.

Kako reveals that there's another rumor which states Hazuki and Ayame's team are responsible. However, both Kako and Felicia don't believe it. Hazuki thinks that a rumor like that has to come from somewhere, and the only magical girls her team knows are Nanaka Tokiwa's team. Kako says Nanaka thinks Ayame's team is innocent. In fact, Nanaka believes they're being set up. Hazuki thinks that if the rumor spreads they'll become targets, even though they aren't responsible. Hazuki and Ayame thank Kako and Felicia and depart.

Hazuki 10

Hazuki explains what happened to Konoha Shizumi, though she claims Nanaka told her. Konoha thinks that bad things happen to them no matter where they go, and suggests keeping an eye on the situation. She wonders if this is connected to her visions. Konoha doesn't have a hunch, but she feels a chill down her spine. Sometime later, the trio meets Yachiyo Nanami. Hazuki and Konoha recognize her as the oldest magical girl in Kamihama City - and Konoha thinks Yachiyo is older than herself. Yachiyo explains she wants to talk to the trio about the fainting rumors.

Yachiyo explains many strange things happen in Kamihama. For example, there was the "Dueling Girl", a magical girl named Tsuruno Yui who issued challenges to everyone. Yachiyo also tells them about familiars disguising themselves as magical girls to get them to fight each other. Yachiyo says this is a personal matter because one of her friends, Momoko Togame, has been attacked. Ever since she was hit by a familiar's surprise attack, Momoko has always been on guard, which makes this especially shocking. Yachiyo says that Momoko is awake and only lost conciousness for a few minutes. However, one of Momoko's friends is blaming the trio for it.

Konoha says they aren't responsible, and Yachyo agrees. Yachiyo reveals that she was present when Momoko was attacked, and the trio's magical signatures aren't the same as the ones she felt. Having confirms this, she apologizes for the trouble and leaves. Ayame is happy that they've been proved innocent, However, Konoha has darker thoughts.

Konoha 11

The next day, Konoha suggests leaving Kamihama City. Even though Yachiyo said they were innocent, Konoha can't really believe it's true. She also thinks things will get worse if they stay. In order to avoid further interference, Konoha thinks the best thing to do is to leave and start again elsewhere. The player is given two choices.

Route Split

Look toward Ayame: Konoha asks Ayame what she thinks. Go to Ayame 8. Look toward Hazuki: Go to Hazuki 11.

Epilogue

Kyubey speaks to an unseen individual. He asks if things have gone as the individual planned. It's revealed this individual is the culprit of the fainting incidents, which never actually happened. In fact, the only people the culprit attacked were Momoko and Ayame. After they attacked Momoko the culprit spread the rumor of magical girls suddenly fainting. It's also revealed the culprit did not show Konoha visions. Rather, she hypnotized Konoha in order to make her go on a rampage. Kyubey asks the culprit if they're okay with the result. The culprit apparently replies they only did this on a whim. Kyubey notes this whim changed the fates of Kamihama's inhabitants, and claims that this was what the culprit was really after. Kyubey says that if witches are "disasters", then the culprit is, for now, "chaos".
