The following is a summary posted on Magia Union Translation Discord by Mochi.

Part 1

Episode 1

Miyuri: "What do I do what do I do... I'm getting nervous again..."

Miyuri nervously asks someone for advice. It becomes immediately obvious this someone is none other than Fortress the Wizard. She goes on an internal grand chuuni speech, but Miyuri asks her if the call got cut off as she can't hear anything over the phone. Rui apologizes, saying she was just thinking a bit. Miyuri says she was able to talk over chat, but she gets nervous over the phone. Rui also brings up that the first time they met at an event, Miyuri nearly fainted. Rui says she gets nervous too, but Miyuri says she goes to Kamiket all the time, and would love to get help on how to prepare.

Enter Fortress once again, ready to explain the intricacies of Kamiket. It takes place is Minaminagi, but the next one is going to be much smaller, but still relatively huge. Miyuri will accompany her there, where she will provide advice as her senpai. Rui is loving every second of this, thinking how weird it is having someone younger than her relying on her.

Miyuri asks if Rui is thinking again, since she went quiet for a while. Rui apologizes, saying she gets too nervous to talk. Miyu totally understands, since she gets nervous all the time too. Miyu is kinda glad though, as being with someone more nervous than her makes it a little easier for her to talk.

So Rui asks about Miyu, learning this is her first time to an event like this. She's used to memorizing the circles she likes to check out, but thanks to Rui she now knows that she's going to need an entire checklist. Miyuri also mentions a particular person will be there this time, and Rui is excited as it means the End of the Bible series game collection will be there. (??) It's going to have new illustrations and a preview of the next part. Rui apologizes, saying she went overboard and just started talking about it. Miyuri is fine with it, saying it's more like their chat room now. Plus Miyuri totally gets the excitement.

Miyu then interrupts the excitement to announce that she won't be able to even visit all of the places she wants, and the map of Kamiket is a mess of letters and numbers. Rui laughs and says it's more like a treasure map of sanctuary. Miyuri asks if she said something, but Rui says no.

Rui brings up that Miyuri likes a lot of writers. Miyuri says she's after circles that are great at describing feet, so there's all kinds of genres and places she needs to check. And she keeps finding more and more authors she likes by the day, so she's running into trouble. Oh, and her favorite cosplayer will be there, so if she goes to check out the cosplay area, she's not going to have enough time. The god of legs Biinasu is going to be there...and Miyu goes into a long description of this cosplayer's legs, and how she wants to share this joy with everyone. Rui is like ...sure thing... while thinking how this must be how others view her when she geeks out about hobbies.

Miyu asks her what's wrong. Rui says she guesses everyone has things they like, but it might be better to not talk about feet once you go outside since not everyone's into that. She continues to say that she too hides things from the public, so not everyone will understand Miyuri. Miyu thinks that San-sama gives her a hard time for it too, and then thanks Rui for the advice. Rui tells her that she can chat with her anytime, and says we'll meet on the battlefield.

Episode 2

Back in the Neo Magius storeroom of doom, Miyuri apologizes to Himena for having such a long call. Himena tells her she has to apologize for knocking over her bag, but Miyuri says it's okay. However, Miyu notices something in Himena's hand: her circle checklist. Himena asks if it's a shopping list. She takes Rui's advice and tries to keep her power level hidden. Himena then reads off one of the titles: Gals, Glasses, and Machine Guns, asking if it's a shoujo manga. Miyuri starts blushing, explaining it's about a character who changes personality when she puts on glasses and uses a machine gun to defeat her enemies. She then realizes she forgot to hide what it is and just blew her cover. Himena tells her it sounds super interesting.

Shigu slides in, asking if she's going to the doujin con. Himena sounds it out, asking what that is. Now Sasha is here, asking what is that? Miyuri asks if Shigu knows what it is, but Shigure's only heard about them on the internet. Shigu points to the checklist, correctly guessing that it's in fact a circle checklist. Miyuri thinks that maybe she can openly talk about it to Shigu if it's not that niche of a hobby. She then starts explaining to everyone what a doujin convention is.

Games and books? Professionals go there? Shigu thought that thin books (AKA usually adult doujinshi) were only for adults, and is surprised that's not actually true. Sasha is happy to learn about a whole new culture she's never heard of before. Hagumu asks Miyuri what she buys there then. Miyu explains that she goes there to buy various works featuring feet. Himena teases her, saying you sure do love San's feet, huh, you got a foot fetish? Miyu happily says she does; San-sama's feet are incredible! But, all the feet drawn in various things...feet,feet,feet... it's so nice to see all the differences between them. (Miyuri calm yourself girl)

She exits foot mode, explaining that she's not going to be able to hit her entire list, or else she'll go broke. But she's determined, and has saved up her allowance for a long time, so it's all worth it. Himena says Miyu's really fired up for this, but this must be one huge event. Himena asks Miyu what she thinks about her feet, like does she like them? Miyu says of course she does, and asks if she can talk about them.

Episode 3

Miyuri goes into great detail about Himena's legs, calves, feet, etc. (which I will be saving the details for whoever translates this) She says they're great, but can't compare to San-sama's. Himena is a bit embarrassed about this, but is happy to hear it. Miyu then switches over to Hagumu, but Himena asks her to chill out, as she's had her fill of this already. Miyu hears not, for she must describe Hagumu's legs. She recommends Hagu eat chicken to get her legs into better shape or something idk. Hagumu apologizes for her poor display.

Sasha tries to get Miyuri's attention, asking her to calm down. Miyu plays Sasha leg review in attack mode. She's not listening to anyone. San walks in, asking what all the fuss is about in here. Miyuri hasn't even noticed San in the room as she recommends white tights for Sasha. San sighs, saying Miyu shouldn't go this wild, and calls to her. Miyu has lost all sense of hearing as she turns to Shigu legs. She goes into a tangent about the gap between school clothes Shigu and transformed Shigu who has her knees exposed, and how they're full of charm. Shigu doesn't understand what this person saying.

San tries to get through to her again to no avail. Miyu recommends a garter belt and high socks for poor Shigu, her power level rising she she insists Shigu wear some, and feels like she's flying just imagining it.

Everyone is dead silent. Shigure is frozen in fear. Suddenly Shigure comes out and says it: she's gross. Miyuri is shocked. W-what did you just say... Y-you were just surprised right...? You didn't just say gross did you...? Is Miyu gross...? Miyuri finally notices San is here, and tells her that she's grossed everyone out in the room.

Miyuri sobers up, asking if she went overboard. She remembers Rui's advice earlier, and now realizes her fetish is way too much to just talk about with people. Miyu starts to apologize, but Himena interrupts her to tell Shigure that Miyurin went a little too far, but calling her gross is out of line too. Miyuri says that Shigure is right. Shigure apologizes, saying she was just so surprised about it.

Miyuri then starts crying and runs out of the room. Shigu blames herself, but San says Miyu is as much at fault, and you can't do much when Miyu's scared. She wishes she could have stopped Miyuri. Shigure notices the checklist on the ground. Miyuri ran out without it...

Episode 4

Miyuri is now at a playground. Everyone's looks, even San-sama... She's sure the only reason this hasn't happened before is because San was always there to stop her. She's certain that everyone hates her now, so she's not going to be able to be in Neo Magius anymore. She stops crying and decides to ask Rui for advice.

Rui picks up to the sounds of "Rui-san Rui-san Rui-san! She asks what's wrong. Miyu says all her friends found out about her foot fetish and now her life is oveeer~! Miyu ended up telling them even after Rui advised her not to. Miyu has been defeated by legs and doesn't know what to do anymore. Rui hears the word defeat and asks Miyu if she intends on winning next time. She gives advice that Miyu must train, get stronger, and get revenge, at least that's how it works in anime... She then realizes that's the wrong advice for being defeated by legs, but Miyuri heard training, and is all for it.

Miyuri declares that she is going to go through training to overcome her fetish and be victorious. Rui thinks to herself that's not quite what she... ah you know what, she wants to overcome her fetish, sure that works. Miyu declares the first part of her training to look at lots and lots of legs. Rui's like "w-wait a minute, how is that training...!" but Miyu hung up. Rui knows this is bad from her experience as an otaku. The wind outside her room suddenly picks up, giving her a sign that something is about to happen...

Episode 5

Miyuri contemplates how she can look at lots of legs... Oh, there's supposed to be an idol fest over in Kamihama. SayuSayu is having a concert, giving her usual swords speech to her audience as she makes her entrance. Before she sings she has a story to tell about her favorite sword. Miyu looks on at SayuSayu's legs, certain this will end her fetish.

After the concert ends, Miyu is panting, thinking in great detail about them legs. She suddenly loses her vision, having a flashback of when she's with her mother at a gym. Her mother tells her to look at the girl skating over there, who looks like she's around the same age as her. She tells Miyuri that maybe she'll see her in a competition someday. She understands that this is a dream. Miyu in the dream tells her mother that the girl is really good. Her mother laughs, saying that as her mother Miyu is number 1, but damn look at that kid go. Dream Miyu is watching the girls legs, fascinated by the muscles and cool she is.

Miyu now monologues, explaining how she used to be bad at racing, so her parents bought her skates to help her learn how to go faster. That girl she saw back then fascinated her with her thin but strong legs. But back then, her feelings towards legs were much more pure than they are now.

She catches herself, avoiding fainting. This isn't about to stop her though! Next she's going to try avoiding looking at legs entirely. If she just stops looking, she should lose all interesting in them and overcome her problem!

Episode 6

Miyuri is now sitting at a park full of people, determined to avoid looking at legs entirely. She immediately starts at an older girl's feet, but catches herself and closes her eyes. She listens to the bids chirping, the wind blowing, kids laughing as they play, and feels the warm sun shine on her. She then hears someone yell in pain as they scrape their knee. Another person asks if they're okay, and Miyuri hopes the person is okay.

The friend then tells the hurt person to run water over their knee. Miyuri starts to crack. Legs and water, oh my... Don't imagine it, Miyu, don't imagine it...! If she start's she's going to lose herself again...!

Suddenly she has a vision of San. This is the first time she saw San-sama, before she contracted, and was in utter shock at San's legs. She was so moved that she fainted back then too. But before meeting San, there was a time she fainted seeing legs... But she wakes up again, time having moved forward for her. She can't remember whose legs she saw before San's that made her faint like this.

But onto the next plan! She looks on her phone for "training" and finds something that ought to do the trick. She arrives at a waterfall, nervously saying she's here for the waterfall experience tour...

Episode 7

Miyuri is now prepared to clear her mind of all thought to cool her fire. She's not really sure how this waterfall thing works, but she's seen it on TV all the time so she's sure she can handle it. The tour guide asks everyone to head this way for preparations.

She gets to the waterfall and screams how freezing it is. She screams that she can't do this and begs for help as she sinks below. The guide gets her to safety. She calls variety show people the gods of waterfalls. She then takes note that the guide woman's feet were really wonderful, and then calls herself a dummy who must be punished.

She wanders up through the mountains, saying this is classic shonen training right here. She's going to climb to the top and surviving this solo trip, she will grow up. However... Miyu quickly gets lost and starts crying about what if a bear shows up. She starts hearing various noises in the trees, and screams that there's a bear. Kokoro and Masara are here, thinking she was yelling for help, but she ran off so she must be used to hiking...? She notes that running from a bear is the worst thing to do, and wonders if that girl is okay. Masara tells her she ran off towards the trail, so she's probably fine.

Miyu reaches the top of the trail, a familiar site from previous hiking events. She says the only part of that that felt like training was running from the bear, otherwise it was just a normal hike. She notes that she almost fainted in front of the owner of a nice pair of legs on the way up, but remarks that she's really gross. Her phone goes off again, and she notes that she's been getting messages all day from everyone in Neo Magius, but she's too ashamed to even read them. With this beautiful scenery all around her, she can't help but her awfulness stands out. She tells herself to hurry down the mountain.

It's now evening, and she's thinking that standing under a waterfall and secluding herself in the mountains is a weird way to train, but she can't think of any other way. Suddenly Hagumu and Shigure find her, saying they've been looking for her.

Episode 8

Shigure takes off immediately, making Miyuri worry. Hagumu tells her that she had something urgent to take care of. Miyu begins thinking the worst, that Shigu doesn't even want to look at her anymore, and starts crying. Miyu says she's sorry and will just disappear. Shigure comes back, asking what happened. Hagumu says she's bad at tricking people, and must have caused a misunderstanding. Shigure thinks Miyu must have thought that she was avoiding her. Hagu apologizes, but Shigu says it's her fault since she didn't want Miyu to see what she was buying. Plus she failed to give the checklist back to Miyu.

As Miyuri is running away, she imagines San looking at her disapprovingly, Rui telling her to not walk about feet outside, and Shigure calling her gross. Miyu thinks to herself that she likes bad things, she's a creep, and all she does is bother everyone. She thinks her only option is to give up on what she likes. She has to stop liking legs, stop going to doujin markets, stop buying her books, and go apologize to everyone. If she does all of this, surely they'll accept her again.

Rui gets a call from Miyuri, knowing she went off to train. Miyu tells her she's not going to with her to the convention, that she doesn't have a fetish anymore, and she's tossing all her books. Plus, this may very well be the last time they speak to each other, so she thanks Rui for everything she taught her. Rui tries to stop her, but Miyu hangs up.

Rui is shocked. For an otaku to give up on what they love - that's no different than death...! If she's tossing out everything she likes and said this is the last time they'll speak, then she must be planning on dying. She can't use her eye to check on her, and she doesn't know much else about her aside from her name and her face. She then remembers seeing a picture in their chat before, and thinks she knows the place, but will Miyuri be there?

Episode 9

Back at the Neo Magius lair, Himena offers a snack to San, but San's done eating for today. Himena is tired of waiting, and ShiguHagu left to do shopping, plus Sasha had something to do. Shigure was pretty worried about Miyuri, and San says she's kind kid, so there's no helping it. Hagumu's been out looking too, and Sasha's been calling Himena wondering if Miyurin's been found yet, which Himena says makes her wonder if this is what an overprotective mother is like. She then asks if San is okay and if she's going to go look for Miyurin. She heard Miyurin was heading home, but hasn't heard anything since that. San says she has to protect Hime, since she's pretending to be dead right now. Himena tells her not even all of Neo Magius knows she's here, so why not just go out and look for her. San's fine waiting, she's sure Miyuri will make it back safe.

Himena then points out that San has been cleaning the same spot over and over for some time now. San also mixed up salt with sugar in the breakfast this morning. That's pretty crazy, right? San says that she thinks Miyu still needs more time to face her fetish though. She's sure Miyu doesn't even remember the reason she developed it. Himena speaks up that she's fine for people to decide what they like, and compares Miyurin's fetish to her and Hiko's relationship being hard to understand. So if Miyurin wants to stop her fetish, that's entirely her choice to do so. Besides, that's part of what makes Miyurin herself★

Episode 10

Mitsune had asked Miyuri to check out Kamiket for her, as there was an incident there last time where a mahou shoujo saved the day, so rumors started spreading about it. So while Miyuri is over there, Mitsune would like her to check for anything regarding the rumors. Miyuri asks how she even know she was going in the first place, and Mitsune says she found out cause Miyu liked a bunch of circles on her public account. She tells Miyu to be careful cause that's how you get found by people, but she won't tell anyone she knows.

Miyuri decides she'll have to apologize tomorrow as it's late now. She can't decide if she'll throw her books out before or after visiting the hospital tomorrow. The next day, she's there apologizing to Mitsune, who says it's fine, she can just look around on the internet. She then asks Miyuri what's wrong, since she was looking forward to going.

Fast forward through the explanation. Miyu says she's dropped her disgusting foot fetish, but Mitsune says you don't have to go that far (since everyone already knows at this point). She starts thinking how this can't be that big of a deal, and there must be some misunderstanding, but... Miyuri already took off before she could mention that. Sasha messages her, saying she still hasn't heard from Miyuri. Mitsune realizes this is worse than she thought.

Miyuri is outside, ready to say goodbye and toss her books as we fade to black...
