Magia Record: Mahou Shoujo Madoka☆Magica Gaiden (TV) (Magia Record: Puella Magi Madoka Magica Side Story)

Have you heard?

Has anyone told you?

That rumor about the Magical Girls.

Magical Girls? Is it a fairy tale?

No, no. It's a true story.

You make a bargain with a white fairy,

and it'll grant just one wish. However...

you're made into a Magical Girl and are forced to slay Witches.

Are we talking good Witches or bad Witches?

It's obviously bad Witches!

They capture humans and munch and crunch on them like candy store sweets.

They have to fight things like that?

That's right. So Magical Girls are always risking their lives.

Well, I would never become a Magical Girl. I hate pain and scary things.

Yes, but on the other hand, anything you wish for will come true.

Anything... Really, anything?

Anything!

If it's just one thing, then it'll come true.

I would put my life on the line for that.

I want to get scores of 100 without even studying.

I want a body that won't get fat, no matter how much I eat.

I want to become a Magical Girl, too.

A dream?

I did it again.

Mom...

Oh yeah, she's not here.

I'm so sorry, Iroha. Everything's been so last minute.

You don't have to worry about me. Just make sure you're not forgetting anything.

This time, I'm all set. I checked and double-checked.

This was in the washroom.

Really, please be careful.

You should be okay, since Dad is with you, but...

Yeah. But you'll be on your own until the boarding house is ready for you to move in.

You don't need to worry about me. You know I can do all the chores.

But I wish you would think about studying abroad.

Going overseas is a bit...

Is there something you want to do here?

Yeah. Something like that.

Well, okay.

I don't know how, but I'm so glad you grew up to be so responsible.

This business trip abroad is a good opportunity.

You and Dad should enjoy yourselves, like you're on a vacation.

You're right. Then if you're sure you'll be fine...

Well, we haven't been on a trip together since our honeymoon.

Yeah. Well, call me when you get there.

I'll be looking forward to the souvenirs.

Okay.

- Morning. - Good morning!

I wonder if being a Magical Girl is what I want to do.

The Milky Way.

In Japan, it's called the "heavenly river" and has become the motif of the Star Festival legend.

In other parts of the world, it's known as "God's Chain" and "Path of the Sou—"

Um, Kyubey, about the wish you supposedly granted for me when I became a Magical Girl...

Oh, that?

Like I told you before, I don't really know either.

It's been established that you used your wish for someone else's sake,

but as for a name or its specific nature, there are just too many obscure parts to it.

But...

Isn't there something we can do to help us recall it?

It's unusual for the wish to be forgotten,

but maybe part of your wish was for the wish itself to be concealed.

You mean I asked for the wish to be granted without anyone remembering it?

Myself included?

Would I say that?

Would you really like to know what your wish was?

Of course I do.

I'm risking my life for that wish, so to not know what it is...

Why can't I remember?

All right, do you know what this misty white mysterious thing is?

Ms. Tamaki.

A wish?

N-Never mind.

LET'S GREET EACH OTHER LOUD AND CLEAR

RIGHT WHAT IS WRONG

A NEW ROUTINE

FRIENDS HELP EACH OTHER

A RIGHTEOUS HEART!!

Ms. Tamaki.

Didn't your parents go on their business trip starting this week? It must be hard.

Y-Yes. That's right.

Living alone can be difficult, right?

If anything happens, be sure to rely on your friends.

Because it must be difficult.

I will.

Of course, I'll support you as much as I can, too. Don't be shy about asking for help.

I won't. Thank you.

Hey.

Tamaki, your parents are out of the country right now?

Yeah.

What? Seriously? I'm kind of jealous.

You could stay up all night on your phone.

Do you just snack whenever you want?

You don't have a curfew then, right?

What is it suddenly?

I'm supposed to be on cleaning duty today, but I have to go somewhere.

Please. Somebody trade with me.

You said that last time, too.

That time was different. I had a super emergency.

U-Um...

Want me to do it for you?

Would you? You're so nice. A total angel.

Jeez, you shouldn't spoil her like this.

I don't have any plans today and there's not much to do when I get home.

Well, we'll take out the trash.

Sometimes, I have no idea what Tamaki's thinking.

She's not part of any club activities, and it's not like she hangs out with friends after school.

But I think she's always busy, because she's doing something.

Something?

What was it again?

KUROE INCOMING CALL ANSWER / DECLINE

PARTNERS

Thank you for coming.

I hope it's okay even though we just saw each other just yesterday.

No, it's important to keep our information updated.

Did something happen?

We encountered a Witch yesterday, but their numbers have been dropping lately.

Maybe it's due to our efforts? Or maybe not.

Not getting any more Grief Seeds is a problem, but it's better than Witches causing damage.

And I'm glad that even someone like me can be of use in some way.

Tamaki, have you heard of this before?

Magical Girls can be saved if they go to Kamihama City.

"Saved"? What does that mean?

It means you don't have to fight Witches anymore.

You don't have to fight anymore...

Does that mean there are no Witches in Kamihama City?

WHISPERING STRICTLY PROHIBITED

But if there are Witches in other areas

KEEP QUIET

and Magical Girls don't work hard, those cities will be in big trouble.

I don't know the details, but...

WHISPERING STRICTLY PROHIBITED

Kuroe, who told you that?

Everyone is talking about the rumor.
