This event is composed of two different stories. The first story is shown in special scenes played when the player logs in for the first seven days of the event. The second story is shown when the event's story battles are played.

Scene 1

(This scene plays when the player logs in on January 1st, 2018)

Iroha Tamaki, Yachiyo Nanami, Tsuruno Yui, Felicia Mitsuki, and Sana Futaba walk to a shrine for New Year's along with Homura Akemi and Madoka Kaname. Yachiyo asks if everyone bought their Omamori. Iroha says she just bought hers. Tsuruno and Homura say they weren't expecting the crowds. Suddenly Sana arrives. She says that since no one could see her, everyone kept bumping into her. Iroha says she should have known, but Sana says she's used to it. Yachiyo asks Felicia if she bought her omamori with the money Yachiyo gave her, but Felicia spent it on food. Yachiyo wipes her face.

Once the girls arrive at the shrine, they go pray. Homura says she should give thanks for all the wonderful things that happened last year. As Madoka prays, she thinks about how last year she met Mami, became a magical girl, and then met Homura and Iroha. Madoka thinks she's not a strong magical girl yet, so this year she wants to be a magical girl everyone can rely on. As she prays to be blessed with good fortune, Madoka also hopes that everyone can be happy.

Scene 2

(This scene plays when the player logs in on January 2nd, 2018)

At the shrine, Homura thinks she heeded the vision of the girl who said magical girls could be saved In Kamihama City. Homura knows there's something strange going on, and she doesn't understand how the Wings of Magius or the Rumors can lead to salvation. Even so, she will save Madoka. She asks the omamori if she can trust it with her feelings. She offers the largest bill she has as a donation so her prayers can be answered. Homura thinks she will save Madoka this time.

Scene 3

(This scene plays when the player logs in on January 3rd, 2018)

Tsuruno thinks that this year she was able to fight alongside Yachiyo again. She also thinks she was glad to have met Iroha. For this year, she believes it's her turn to make everyone else happy. Pulling out three amulets, she makes a Magatama out of them and calls it the "Strongest Praying Charm". Tsuruno thinks that if she prays again she can double the chances of her prayers being answered. As the strongest magical girl holding the strongest amulet, she wants to bestow everyone else with good fortune.

Scene 4

(This scene plays when the player logs in on January 4th, 2018)

Felicia thinks she has nothing to pray for. The reason she didn't buy a charm is because she was hungry and there were too many people in line. Feliica thinks she would like to keep eating tasty meals in Yachiyo's house. She also wished she could go back to the ranch she once went to with her mother and father. She thinks she can't remember where the ranch was. Felicia abruptly decides praying is ridiculous. She think she'll go back to Yachiyo's house and laze around. However, she wants everyone to be okay. "That's how I feel, that's good enough".

Scene 5

(This scene plays when the player logs in on January 5th, 2018)

Sana thinks she was sad last year when Ai disappeared. However, she was happy when Iroha told her she was needed. Sana thinks being here feels like a dream and she's glad to have a place where she can find happiness. It's revealed that earlier, Sana tried to buy a charm to ward off evil. Since no-one could see her, she was pushed out of the way after leaving the money but before she could take anything. Suddenly, a prayer charm fell from the sky into her hands. In the present, Sana wishes to stay by Iroha and form an unbreakable bond with her.

Chapter 1

Iroha narrates that the hectic New Year's Eve was over, and now they're celebrating the first morning of the New Year. At their home, Iroha wishes Sana and Yachiyo a happy new year. Yachiyo and Sana note the weather looks fine for the start of the year. Felicia come down, having woken up. Iroha wishes her a happy new year as well, and Felicia mumbles "Happy year" in response.

Sana says Felicia sounds sleepy Felicia says that she stayed up late last night. Yachiyo says she went to sleep by midnight and Iroha went to sleep as soon as the countdown was over. Felicia says she has no problem staying up late. Sana said she had a lot of fun New Year's Eve and it was her first time participating in the activities. Yachiyo says they should celebrate the first day of the year and also, and has prepared some traditional food for the occasion.

Chapter 2

The girls start eating their meal. Felicia tries to eat everything. Sana says she's really enjoying. Suddenly the doorbell rings...or rather someone says "Ding dong!" at the door. It turns out to be Tsuruno, wishing the other a happy new year.

Chapter 3

Tsuruno has brought her "super special Chinese food". Iroha and Felicia mentally note they were eating already. It turns out Tsuruno's food has three layer: Fried rice, shrimp with fried rice, and soup...with fried rice. Felicia says it's to be expected, and both her and Iroha say they'll eat it. Sana thanks her for the food. Tsuruno has planned something for when the girls are done eating and pulls out a deck of Karuta cards. Tsuruno says these are "Tsuruno Karuta" cards, or "Tsuruta" for short.

Chapter 4

Tsuruno says she was inspired to make the cards before the year ended and invites the girls to play with her. In normal Karuta the player must find cards with proverbs written on them. When Iroha asks what Tsuruno wrote on the cards, she says they have to play and find out. The girls agree to the game, with Tsuruno as the reader. Tsuruno asks them to find a card with "The-always-reliable Yachiyo", which Felicia quickly finds. Yachiyo says the drawing on the card doesn't look like her at all. Tsuruno says that's just how she draws and activates a "special effect", making Yachiyo lose one turn.

Tsuruno says that in "Tsurata", the reader can activate special effects at will. When Yachiyo and Sana question this, Tsuruno says she had the flashy idea to make a flashy game. Iroha thinks the rules are too vague. Yachiyo says she'll take the game seriously. Felicia says she's fired up, and Sana gives a similar sentiment. Iroha is surprised and narrates that the girls warmed up to Tsuruno's vague rules.

Chapter 5

Iroha narrates that Tsuruno's vague rules make the game more exciting. Sana is given the special effect of tickling Felicia for ten seconds. She does so, and Felicia tells her she should stop worrying so much. Afterward, Tsuruno says that Sana is in second, Iroha is in third, and Felicia is in fourth. For the final round, Tsuruno calls a special effect of winning ten points, which means that whoever wins the final round wins the game. Yachiyo says she doesn't intend to lose.

Tsuruno calls for the card "She-is-scary-when-she-is-angry Yachiyo". Yachiyo thinks that's not true, but is able to find the card anyway. However, she's struck dumb by the drawing of herself on the card and can only think it looks nothing like her. Suddenly Iroha shouts that she found the card, winning the game. Iroha apologies, but Yachiyo tells her not to worry. Yachiyo thinks she really lost to Tsuruno's drawing.

Chapter 6

Tsuruno asks if they enjoyed playing the game. Felicia and Sana say they did. Yahciyo says the game has room for improvement, like the drawings on the cards. Felicia shows her "The-always-reliable Yachiyo" card, and insists it looks just like her. Felicia then leaves, saying she has a play-date with Kako Natsume and Ayame Mikuri. Iroha tells Felicia to wish them a happy new year. Yachiyo says she also has to leave for work. Iroha asks if they can play "Tsurata" again, but Tsuruno says the game is best played with three other players. Instead, Tsuruno invites Iroha and Sana to go for a walk.

Iroha narrates that there are many events going on in Kamihama City for the New Year - events like the ones Madoka and Homura are currently enjoying. Madoka calls Homura over to her. Homura apologizes for making Madoka wait, but Madoka says not to worry. Madoka says she's also done with her prayers and is ready to go.

Chapter 7

Madoka narrates that they came to Kamihama's Sumei Shrine for New Year celebrations. Madoka marvels at all the stalls selling food. She then says she's getting distracted from her mission, but the food smells so good. Homura suggests they eat something first. When Madoka asks her what she would like to eat, Homura says she's fine with whatever Madoka wants.

Homura thinks how she's enjoying the food with Madoka, how they're dressed formally for the occasion, and how they're having fun. Homura thinks she's happy. Madoka tells Homura that after an "exhaustive examination", she's chosen to eat the Castella mini cakes. After buying and eating some, the girls go to get their New Year's fortunes.

Chapter 8

A shrine maiden tells the girls to draw a number for their fortunes. Madoka gets number twelve, while Homura gets fifty-three. Madoka says the reason they came to Sumei Shrine is because of it's "Ultimate Fortunes". According to what she saw on TV, these fortunes are more accurate than regular ones. The girls open up their fortunes.

Chapter 9

Homura greats a "Great Fortune" which says she will find happiness in everything she does, and she if she recently ate a large serving of food she'll have even more happiness. Madoka notes they at all those mini cakes earlier. Madoka's fortune turns out to be an "Infinite Fortune", which has an infinity symbol for every item on the fortune's list. The girls think they'll have an amazing year. Suddenly Homura overhears other people saying the got things like "Extraordinary Fortune" or "King of Fortune". Homura wonders if these fortunes only have great blessings. However, when she sees Madoka happy she figures it doesn't matter.

Elsewhere, Iroha, Tsuruno, and Sana find all the shop's are closed on New Year's Day. When Iroha asks about it, Tsuruno says her family's shop is open, but then admits they're closed until the 7th. (Which just so happens to be when the event's final chapters are released). Iroha says Tsuruno's father can relax a bit, but Tsuruno says he's always too relaxed. Sana notices a crowd gathering in front of a toy store. Upon looking at a poster, Tsuruno announces they're joining.

Chapter 10

It turns out the toy store is holding a badminton competition. All participants have to do is keep the shuttlecock in the air. Tsuruno insists they participate. Sana points out that normal people can't see her. Tsuruno apologizes, but Sana tells them to do their best. During the competition, Tsuruno hits the shuttlecock so high it disappears into the sky, making her lose. Iroha, on the other hand, wins five matches. Iroha credits her victories to Sana's support. Tsuruno thinks that she couldn't take advantage of that.

Tsuruno asks one of the attendants if she can borrow a racket, which she then uses to play a practice match with Sana. Sana's shuttlecock defense proves to be impenetrable, causing her to win the game. Tsuruno thinks Sana would do great if she joined the event. Suddenly the attendant comes up to Tsuruno and tells her he never saw anyone who could keep the shuttlecock in the air on her own. The man tells Tsuruno she could take first place in the tournament.

Chapter 11

Elsewhere, Felicia, Ayame, and Kako have joined a local mochi-pounding competition. Felicia says it's her first time doing it. Ayame and Kako decide to let Felicia go first. Felicia uses the wooden mallet to pound mochi with gusto. Kako tells Felicia to take it easier. However, Ayame encourages Felicia to smash the mochi. Felicia's moch-pounding partner in the competition can't match her speed. Kako tells her to slow down, but Felicia says it's not good enough. Ayame decides she's gotta pound mochi herself.

Chapter 12

Felicia's partner says it's too dangerous, but Ayame says she'll be fine. Felicia tells her to bring it. The two pound mochi the way an anime character would throw punches: "Urayayayayayayayayayayayayayayaya!" Kako marvels that they're in perfect sync. Onlookers note that they've never seen anything like it. Finally the girls finish. Kako says the mochi is glowing. Ayame says Felicia nicely fought. Kako thinks it wasn't supposed to be a fight. Afterwards, the girls enjoy the soft mochi. Suddenly, Ayame's partners Konoha Shizumi and Hazuki Yusa arrive. Hazuki says they went out because they're bored. The girls wish Kako and Felicia a happy new year. When Ayame asks where they're going, they say they saw a flyer.

Chapter 13

Madoka and Homura spot Iroha, Tsuruno and Sana. Tsuruno is nervous and Iroha and Sana tells her to relax. Madoka makes her presence known, along with Felicia and Ayame. It turns out they're here to join a badminton tournament, which hasn't been held in awhile. The tournament is a doubles competition. Iroha has partnered with Tsuruno, who has been practicing with Sana. Sana says Tsuruno is "super strong". Felicia and Ayame insist they will be the winners. Kako arrives and says it's time for the players to head to the waiting area. Madoka offers to watch and cheer for them. Tsuruno asks Sana to be her support.

In the waiting area, Ria Ami finishes putting on her makeup while Emiri Kisaki tells her she looks perfect. Meiyui Chun tells Akira Shinobu they're teaming up once again. Ayaka Mariko asks Shizuku Hozumi if she can perform some gags before the game. Shizuku says it should be fine. Sasara Minagi tells Asuka Tatsuki she's shaking too much. Asuka says she's shaking with excitment. Himika Mao asks Kanoko Yayoi if she's still eating mushrooms. Kanoko says it's important to eat them before a match. Rena Minami asks Momoko Togame how things look. Momoko says it will be a fierce battle, but they could still win.
