Magia Record: Puella Magi Madoka Magica Side Story (マギアレコード 魔法少女まどか☆マギカ外伝)

Go figure. Hey, have you heard? There's this rumor.

It's about magical girls.

Magical girls. Like in stories.

No, no, I'm talking about in real life.

It's all about how.

You.

You make a contract with a white fairy and

you get a single wish granted,

but in return you become a magical

girl and get forced to slay these witch things.

Like good witches or bad witches. Good

witches. Do you know..

They capture innocent humans and munch on them like sweets..

In a candy store? Have to..

Fight things that eat.. People,

right? If it's true, they could die.

I would never agree to do that.

I don't want to have to fight monsters.

But think about it. Anything you wish for could come true.

Really? Anything. Anything.

My biggest wish could come true. I might be..

Okay with putting my life on the line.

I want to ace every test without even studying.

I want to be thin and fit forever.

Huh? I wish I could be a magical girl.

A dream.

Uh, I made two again. Hey, mom. Oh, yeah. She's gone.

I really didn't want to leave you like this, sweetheart.

Everything about this trip was so last minute.

You don't have to worry about me. Do you have everything?

Yes. I'm all set. This time double checked and everything.

Guess what I just found in the washroom? Oh.

Please be careful. Okay. I'm sure it's fine since dad's with you.

But it will be. But what about you?

You'll be here all on your own

until the boarding house is ready.

Honestly, don't worry about me. You know

I can do all of the chores. Yes, of course, but still.

I wish you would think about studying abroad.

I don't know about going overseas. Is there

something that you really wanted to stay

here for? Yeah, something like that.

Well. All right then, huh? I still

have no idea how you turned out to be so responsible.

This business trip is a great opportunity.

You two should treat it like a vacation. Go enjoy yourselves.

Then we will, as long as we have your blessing.

I mean, we haven't been on a

trip together since our honeymoon. Yeah.

Make sure to call me when you get there, okay?

And bring me back something great, I promise.

Is staying here and being a magical girl.

Really? What I want to do.

The Milky Way. In Japan, it's called the heavenly River,

following the legend of the Star Festival.

In other parts of the world, it's

known as God's chain. The path of the soul.

Listen, cube, I have some questions about the wish

you supposedly granted for me when I became a magical girl.

Oh. That again? Like I told you

the last time, I don't really know much.

All I know is that you used

your wish for someone else's sake.

But when it comes to a name

or the specific nature of the wish,

it's all a mystery, even to me.

But how? Isn't there a way I can remember it?

Well, normally you wouldn't forget it in the first place,

but maybe part of your wish was

for the wish itself to be concealed.

You mean like I may have wished

for everyone to forget about what my wish even was, myself included.

I can't imagine why I do that.

Hm. You really want to know, don't you? Of course I do.

I'm here risking my life, fighting for

that wish so to not even know what it is.

Just. Why can't I remember it? All right. Do any of you know

what the true form of this misty

white thing here might be, Mr. Mackey?

I wish maybe. Uh uh. No. Never mind.

So ho.

Mr. Tamaki, your parents left on their

business trip this week, didn't they?

I'm sure that must be hard on you.

Not really. I'm okay. So very rough living alone, isn't it?

Have you end up having any trouble?

It's good to have a friend you can

rely on. It's a lot to handle.

Right. Naturally, I'll support you as much as I can too,

so don't be shy about leaning on me.

I won't. I appreciate it.

Hiruha. Huh? Is it true your parents are out

of the country right now? Yeah. Whoa! Seriously?

That's amazing. I'm so jealous. You could

stay up on your phone all night

and eat.. Whatever you want.

So you don't have a curfew or anything.

Oh, something you just remembered. I'm totally

supposed to be on cleaning duty today,

but I've got something to do.

Someone pretty. Please cover for me.

Really? Didn't you do this last time too?

That was completely different. I had an emergency and couldn't help it.

Um. If you'd like. I could do it.

Would you? Iroha, you're the sweetest little angel.

Jeez, you really shouldn't be encouraging her like that.

Really? It's no trouble. I don't have any plans or anything today.

Oh.

We are going to go take.. Out the trash. Okay?

Then I am so going to head home. I'm.

You know, sometimes I have no idea

what's going on inside that girl's head.

I mean, she doesn't have a club

or hang out with anyone, right? Yeah, I don't know.

I always thought she was busy with something. Like what? Good question.

Huh?

Thanks so much for coming. I know we just met up yesterday.

Sorry. I don't mean to be a bother.

No. It's important for us to stay in touch. Did something happen?
