First Story: Iroha of the Beginning







First Chapter: The Small Kyuubey





Is that Kyuubey the reason why I always dream of a girl I don’t know?





Lately, I’ve been having the same dream over and over.

A girl I don’t know is in a hospital room, sitting on the bed, reading books and eating.

A dream where all I do is look at her.





Sometimes, she smiles at me and says something.

But I can never hear her voice.





I’m sure that’s because I’m not in that hospital room.





I’m just looking at another world that exists beyond a screen.





I wonder… why is this the only dream I see?





Kamihama City, Shin’nishi District -





Iroha: …

Iroha: (I keep having that dream over and over again)

Iroha: (Ever since I came to this town…)

Iroha: (Ever since then, every time I dream, my heart aches…)

Iroha: (Like something was pushed deep inside me…)

Iroha: …So I want to know the truth.

Iroha: The reason behind the dreams, and the reason why my chest hurts…

Iroha: For that purpose, I came to this town…





If I can’t find it… and if I can’t check it out…





Iroha: …

Iroha: (I thought I’d find it if I was chasing a witch…)

Iroha: (I can’t follow the magic if I feel like there are lots of witches and minions.)

Iroha: But…

Iroha: (There’s probably a witch around here…)

Iroha: I’ll try searching again…

Iroha: …

Iroha: As I thought, it’s close…

Iroha: No, wait, it’s right there!

Iroha: (If I go back late, mom will be angry…)

Iroha: (I have to go check it out fast!)

Iroha: There it is, the witch’s barrier…

Iroha: Huh? Did someone enter already?

Iroha: (Wait, are they struggling…?)

Iroha: That can’t be! I have to help!

Iroha: Where are they…?

Iroha: (I’d be able to find them quickly if there was a reaction from a magical girl’s power…)

Iroha: …

Iroha: From the reaction, she’s close…

Iroha: (I’m sure she’s around here somewhere…)

???: Aah!!!

Iroha: Eh!?

Iroha: Over there!

Minion: (random noises)

???: Ow!

???: Ahh… If I don’t get away quickly…

Minion: (more random noises)

???: Ehh?

Iroha: Are you okay!?

???: Eh, uhm, y-yes…!

Iroha: Thank goodness… let’s get out of the barrier together!









???: Phew…

Iroha: Ah… somehow we managed to escape.

Iroha: Have you calmed down a bit?

???: Y…yes, I’m sorry. Thank you for saving me.

Iroha: No, don’t mind it.

Iroha: I was just a little surprised at how strong the minions were.

???: Strong…?

???: Uhm, do you happen to come from outside of Kamihama?

Iroha: Eh? Yes, that’s right.

???: Then it’s better if you go home… the witches in this town are strong…

???: That minion just now is probably in the weak range.

Iroha: What, no way…

???: I’m not kidding, so…

Iroha: Thank you for the concern.

Iroha: But I can’t go home just yet.

???: B-but really…

Iroha: Oh, I’m not doubting you!

Iroha: But I have a reason why I came here…

???: A reason?

Iroha: Yes.

Iroha: Oh, that’s right… maybe you’ve seen it around this town…?

???: Wh-what is it?

Iroha: A “small Kyuubey”…

Iroha: It looks like Kyuubey’s child…

???: A small… Kyuubey…?

Iroha: Oh, sorry, you don’t know it after all…

???: No, I have seen it!

Iroha: Really!?

???: Y-yes, lately, in this town, that’s the only Kyuubey around.

Iroha: Well, you see, I came here to look for it!

???: Eehh!?

Iroha: I’ve seen it once before, but I don’t know where…

???: Oh, umm! You’d better hurry up then!

Iroha: Eh, hurry up…?

???: Yeah, yeah!

???: I think it was in the barrier just now! I don’t think I saw wrong, but…

Iroha: What!?

Iroha: (In the barrier of that witch just now…!?)

Iroha: (Ah, it’s already gone…)

Iroha: (But…)

Iroha: Thank you for letting me know! I’ll try chasing the witch from before!

???: Okay, but be careful.

???: That small Kyuubey is very alert and it’ll try to escape.

Iroha: Okay, got it, thank you!

???: No, thank you for helping me!

???: …

???: I wonder what she’ll do when she finds the small Kyuubey?









Iroha: …

Iroha: (Found it…!)

Iroha: (This is the same magical pattern as the witch from before…)

Iroha: (I can chase it from here, but… I’ve got a strange feeling about this…)

Iroha: (Though I was in a place with lots of people before…)

Iroha: (There aren’t many people around here.)

Iroha: (Is there a purpose to this?)

Iroha: Eh?

Iroha: (Suddenly the reaction is really close by.)

Iroha: Is the witch around here…!?

Iroha: (That’s not it! It’s coming from over there!?)

Iroha: …huh…?

Iroha: (…There aren’t any minions…?)

Iroha: Eh!?

Small Kyuubey: Kyu?

Iroha: There it is!

Iroha: (Ah… if I don’t approach it slowly, it might run away…)

Small Kyuubey: Mokyuu!

Iroha: (Eh? It’s approaching from over there?)

Iroha: (You’re really very alert…)

(Random minion noises)

Iroha: At a time like this…!

Iroha: Eh?

Minions: (noises)

Iroha: What’s with this number!?

Iroha: (Could these minions…)

Iroha: (They noticed I was chasing them!?)

(Minion noises)

Iroha: Guh!

Iroha: Not yet!

Minion: (noises)

Minion: (more noises)

Iroha: No way, they’re coming from here too…!?

Iroha: Owww!

Iroha: Haa…haa…haa…

Iroha: (No way… If I can’t return…)

Minion: (noises)

Iroha: Ahh…

Iroha: Ahhh!!!





Uhh… what… what happened to me?





I can’t… get any power…





Kyuubey…





Who… is it?





…





This town is not a place where you can stay.













Second Chapter: The Magical Girls of Kamihama City





I wonder why I was defeated by the minions…





Iroha: !? Wait, this is…

Iroha: As I thought, it’s your hospital room…

Iroha: Hey, who are you…?

???: ——

Iroha: Huh…?

Iroha: Uh… I…

???: Oh, looks like you finally woke up.

???: How are you feeling? Though you probably feel terrible!

???: Ahaha!

Iroha: Oh, uhh, and you are…?

???: Mmm? Me?

???: Y’see, I’m actually a magical girl, too!

Iroha: Ah…

Iroha: (Huh, the person I saw at the end, was… was it this girl?)

???: Hey, hey, you really okay?

???: If you go around that spaced out, you might be attacked by someone like me.

Iroha: Eh?

???: Just kidding.

???: Hey hey, I saved you so cheer up.

Iroha: You saved me…

Iroha: Ah, I’m sorry, I…!

???: It’s fine, don’t mention it.

???: This is just like a job to me, so.

???: But, the situation wasn’t looking too good. You were beaten good by those minions.

Iroha: …

???: So!

???: From now on, for the sake of fighting in Kamihama…

???: Come with me, and let’s go to the coordinator!

Iroha: Eh? Coord… inator…?

???: As I thought, you’re not a Kamihama magical girl, are you?

???: Not knowing what the coordinator is is enough proof.

Iroha: Is… that so…?

???: That’s right.

???: In Kamihama city, where witches are strong, the coordinator is pretty much common knowledge.

???: I’ll introduce you to a magical girl that can power anything up.

Iroha: Is that really true…?

???: True or not, you should check that for yourself.

???: And so, I’ll show you around so come with me.

Iroha: Th-that’s! I’ll be fine on my own from now on!

???: Since you came all the way out here, there’s gotta be a reason, right?

Iroha: …yes.

???: I don’t think you’ll lose that if you rely on me here.

Iroha: …

Iroha: I’m sorry. Please guide me there.

???: Yep, it’s better to be honest.

Momoko: I’m Momoko Togame. Nice to meet you.

Iroha: Aah, I’m Iroha Tamaki. It’s very nice to meet you.









Iroha: Togame-san, I’m right here! Please let me help!

Momoko: What stupid things are you saying?

Momoko: Iroha-chan, you can leave it to me and act as support!

Iroha: Y-yes… I’m sorry…

Momoko: Oh yeah, another thing!

Momoko: Call me ‘Momoko’!

Momoko: Let’s go with no formalities.









Momoko: Okay, it’s back here.

Iroha: In the depths of this ruined building…?

Momoko: It’s because the coordinator can’t fight witches and minions like other people.

Momoko: Witches and minions don’t come to deserted places like this.

Momoko: That’s easier for the coordinator, don’t you think?

Momoko: Hey, coordinator~

???: Ah, it’s been a while, Momoko.

???: I was lonely since you haven’t visited lately.

Momoko: Aah, what are you talking about?

Momoko: Recently there have been more and more customers, so you don’t even remember all of them.

???: That’s not it?

???: Hm? That girl over there, I haven’t seen her before.

Momoko: That’s right, today I didn’t come here for myself, I came to introduce a new customer!

Iroha: Uhm, is this person, the coordinator…?

???: Nice to meet you~ I’m the coordinator.

Mitama: My name is Yakumo Mitama. Please make use of it later.

Iroha: Ah, uh, yes…

Iroha: I’m Iroha Tamaki. It’s very nice to meet you.

Momoko: Well then, coordinator.

Mitama: Wha~at is it?

Momoko: Can you fiddle a little bit with Iroha-chan’s soul gem?

Mitama: Oh, you say it so lightly, but you know you have to foot the bill, right?

Momoko: Of course, I know that.

Iroha: …ehh?

Iroha: W-w-wait a minute, Momoko-san!

Iroha: T-to do that, on top of having helped me…

Momoko: It’s fine, at times like these we help each other.

Iroha: Hnn…

Momoko: Hey, this is a time to be happy.

Iroha: Yes, thank you very much!

Iroha: Oh, by the way, when you say ‘fiddling with my soul gem’…

Mitama: Fufufu, you see, that is…

Mitama: I will touch the inside of your soul gem.

Mitama: I’ll pour in some other magical powers, and pull out your hidden potential.

Iroha: (Just like Momoko-san said…)

Iroha: Is that really…

Mitama: I think you’ll be a bit surprised once you experience it.

Mitama: So, let’s start right away!

Iroha: Ah, yes!

Mitama: Well then, start by taking off your clothes, and go lie on that bed over there.

Iroha: Alright, I- wait, take off my clothes?!

Mitama: Yes, you can put them in the basket over there.

Iroha: …

Momoko: Hey… coordinator…

Iroha: I understand!

Momoko: Don’t!

Momoko: Dammit, don’t go around bullying her.

Mitama: Fufu, I was just kidding~

Iroha: Eehh…









Mitama: Yes, just like that, relax…

Mitama: Take a deep breath…

Iroha: Haa… Fuu…

Mitama: Relax, and leave it to me…

Mitama: Sinking into the earth… silently… silently…

Iroha: Haa…

Mitama: Well then, can I touch your soul gem now?

Iroha: Guh…

Mitama: Let go of that tension.

Mitama: A little bit… further…

Iroha: Aah!









Iroha: Again, in that girl’s hospital room?

Iroha: It really is your hospital room. As expected, I remembered it.

Iroha: Hey, weren’t you trying to tell me something earlier?

???: ——

Iroha: Eh? O-oh, I’m sorry.

Iroha: Can you say it one more time…?

???: ——

Iroha: No, don’t make such a sad face.

Iroha: I can’t hear your voice, but…

Iroha: Who are you…?

???: ——

Iroha: Could I have… met you before?

Iroha: Don’t go! Please answer!

Iroha: Hey, who… are you… to me?





Why is it that when I look at you, I feel this much love and nostalgia…?





Mitama: Well? How are you feeling?

Iroha: Umm…

Iroha: I’m feeling much better than before.

Iroha: It’s like my body’s become sharper.

Mitama: Looks like this was a success then.

Mitama: At first you might feel uncomfortable or strange.

Mitama: After a while, you’ll slowly start getting used to it.

Iroha: Yes, thank you very much!

Mitama: …

Momoko: Hm? What’s wrong, coordinator? Why’re you making that face?

Mitama: Well, you see…

Mitama: Hey, Iroha-chan…

Iroha: Yes?

Mitama: You see, when I touch a person’s soul gem, I can see their past…

Iroha: Past...?

Mitama: Yes…

Mitama: So, I also saw your past, Iroha-chan.

Iroha: Eh…

Mitama: I’m sorry for looking without asking. I won’t say anything to anyone, so...

Mitama: So there’s one thing I want to ask.

Iroha: What… is it?

Mitama: What was your wish?

Iroha: …?

Iroha: My wish?

Mitama: The wish that you made when you made the contract and became a magical girl…

Mitama: Do you remember?

Iroha: Yes, of course. I…

Iroha: I…

Iroha: Wait… my wish…

Iroha: My…

Iroha: Ah, haa…

Iroha: Again, why…!

Momoko: Iroha-chan!?

Iroha: Ah… haa… haa…

Iroha: Who is that girl? Is she related to my wish…?

Mitama: I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to upset you…

Iroha: That small Kyuubey’s gotta have something to do with me after all!

Momoko: Iroha-chan! You can’t go outside yet!

Iroha: Please let me go!

Iroha: I absolutely have to find that small Kyuubey!

Momoko: Even if you find it, what are you gonna do with it?

Iroha: Ever since I saw that girl, I’ve been feeling strange.

Iroha: I dream of a girl I don’t know, and every time I wake up with pain in my heart.

Iroha: Now for some reason I feel love, and I don’t know why.

Iroha: So, even if I don’t know what will happen,

Iroha: I want to find that small Kyuubey.

Iroha: I want to know, just exactly what my dream is all about!

Momoko: Aah!

Momoko: Damniiiit!

Momoko: If she goes out now, she’ll definitely get caught by that person!

Iroha: Where… is that witch…

Iroha: Where?!

???: So you DID go to Momoko’s place after all.









Iroha: Haa… haa… haa…

Iroha: …

Iroha: (If I don’t hurry up… the clues will…)

???: Wait.

Iroha: Eh?

Iroha: I’m sorry! I’m in a hurry right now!

???: I thought I told you to wait.

Iroha: Uhm, I really have to hurry…!

???: If you really must go no matter what, then defeat me.

Iroha: Why…

???: You should know that better than anyone.

???: Since you let yourself get beaten up inside the witch’s barrier.

Iroha: Could you be…

???: So you were still conscious after all.

???: If you remember then I’ll make this quick.

???: Thanks to you getting in the way, I was late.

???: Now I’ll chase you out of this town without any remorse.

Iroha: Chase me… out…?

???: Yes, you already gave me all the proof I need…

???: …to know that you do not possess the ability to survive in this town.

Iroha: Eh?

???: Now, go back to your own town.

Iroha: N-no…

Iroha: I… had a goal when I came to this town… so!

???: So what? Are you willing to die for that goal?

Iroha: But, the coordinator already fiddled with my soul gem…

Iroha: So I’ll be fine now.

???: Momoko and her meddling again…

???: Aah, I get it.

Iroha: You’ll let me through?!

???: Yes, if you are able to prove your own strength.

Iroha: ?!

???: Prepare yourself!

???: I will judge for myself whether you can survive in this town!

Iroha: (Just when I’d found that Kyuubey… why…)

???: I wonder if you’re prepared… you can still give up.

Iroha: …

???: You look a little faint… that’s so stubborn.









Iroha: Uwah!

???: Just as I thought. Even if you’re enhanced, you can’t reach my experience.

Iroha: Uhhh…!

???: Oh, you’re still going?

Iroha: Please… all I want is to search for that Kyuubey!

Iroha: The small Kyuubey…

???: A small Kyuubey.

Iroha: Just when I’d found it…

???: Eh?

???: That’s right, you’d managed to approach it…

???: However, it’s time to give up.

Momoko: Wa~a~a~ait!!

???: ?!

Iroha: Kya!

Momoko: Fuu… looks like I was right to chase you after all.

Iroha: Mo-Momoko-san, why are you…

Momoko: I knew Yachiyo-san would try to attack you, Iroha-chan.

Momoko: As always, she’s got such a bad streak.

Yachiyo: I don’t want the number of meaningless deaths in this town to rise… that’s all…

Momoko: Oh, such noble words… what you really don’t want is the number of witches to reduce!

Momoko: Since the number of witches per individual will go down if more magical girls show up.

Momoko: So you don’t introduce them to the coordinator and drive them out of town with your powers.

Yachiyo: …

Yachiyo: That’s enough, it’s not nice to be misunderstood like that.

Yachiyo: …That’s right.

Yachiyo: Hey, you…

Yachiyo: You say you found a small Kyuubey, but where did you find it?

Iroha: Ah, uh, it was inside the barrier of the Sandbox Witch…

Yachiyo: Alright, then let’s do this…

Iroha: If you can defeat the Sandbox Witch before me, I will acknowledge your ability.

Yachiyo: As a handicap, I will go alone, and you two can pair up or not, I don’t care.

Yachiyo: How is that?

Iroha: Eh, that’s…

Iroha: I don’t really care as long as I can find the small Kyuubey…

Momoko: Alright!

Iroha: Eh? Wait, Momoko-san!?

Iroha: I, I don’t really care for having my ability acknowledged…

Momoko: Like this, it’ll be easy to be acknowledged by this stubborn old fool.

Momoko: Besides, all you have to do is win, and then you’ll be able to search freely, right?

Iroha: Ah… yes…

Momoko: Let’s do this, Iroha-chan!

Iroha: Yes, let’s go…

Momoko: Alright, it’s decided.

Yachiyo: It’s decided, then.









Third Chapter: I Saw Her in a Dream…





I’m sure that Kyuubey is something irreplaceable to me.





Iroha: Here it is.

Momoko: It’s hiding pretty far back.

Yachiyo: As expected, it tries to run if targeted by more than one magical girl.

Yachiyo: Do you think it started feeling stronger because it was targeted by a weak girl earlier?

Iroha: A weak girl...

Yachiyo: Anyway, I’ll give you that handicap.

Yachiyo: Do your best along with Momoko.

Yachiyo: Please demonstrate the power and abilities you’ve gained.

Iroha: …

Momoko: You’ve sure got an annoying way to put it.

Momoko: We aren’t just going to do everything as you want.

Yachiyo: Then it’s fine if you do it separately?

Yachiyo: Well, if that’s so, why don’t you fight me and win?

Iroha: Ah, Momoko-san, please don’t mind her.

Iroha: Since it’s true that I’m lacking in ability…

Iroha: Besides, Kyuubey might be inside this barrier…

Iroha: So, I will give my best!

Yachiyo: Hmph, isn’t that quite the sight.

Momoko: Grrrhhhh!









Momoko: Crap, these guys don’t waste any time surrounding us…

Iroha: Please leave this side to me! I’ll support you!

Momoko: Aah, I’m going to break right through ‘em!

Momoko: Like we’ll let ourselves get beat by Yachiyo-san!









Yachiyo: I’ll be going on ahead now.

Momoko: Grrh, she’s really fast…

Momoko: Iroha-chan, let’s hurry up!

Iroha: Ah, w-wait, please wait!

Momoko: What are you standing around for! We don’t have time for that!

Iroha: …

Momoko: Iroha-chan?

Small Kyuubey: Bugyu?

Iroha: …There it is! The small Kyuubey!

Momoko: Iroha-chan! Right now, our priority is defeating that witch!

Iroha: But, I only came here to find that Kyuubey.

Iroha: If there’s anyone that can talk to it, it’s me…

Momoko: That’s way too optimistic.

Momoko: It might be related to your wish, but…

Momoko: There’s no guarantee it’ll all work out, even if you talk to it.

Iroha: That’s…true, but…

Momoko: If you ever need to come to this town again, she’s going to get in your way.

Momoko: So, let’s make the witch our priority.

Iroha: …

Small Kyuubey: Mokyu!

Iroha: Kyuubey…?

Small Kyuubey: Kyuu, mokkyu!

Momoko: What? What is it saying?

Iroha: It’s telling us to follow it?

Small Kyuubey: Kyu!

Iroha: Could that be the place where the witch is?

Small Kyuubey: Mokkyu!

Momoko: Haha, I see…

Momoko: This little one’s made defeating the witch its priority too.

Iroha: Is that it…?

Small Kyuubey: Kyu!

Iroha: …yes.

Iroha: …I get it, please lead us there!

Momoko: I wonder if we can trust it, I don’t feel so confident in this.

Iroha: However, if Kyuubey knows it, we can follow the path without getting lost.

Momoko: That’s right, and since Yachiyo-san is fighting normally, she’d never catch up…

Momoko: Let’s try betting on this little one!

Iroha: Yes!









Momoko: If we win here you’ll become one of us too, Iroha-chan.

Iroha: One of ‘us’?

Momoko: A Kamihama city magical girl.

Iroha: Is that a good thing…? Normally it means you have more rivals.

Momoko: It’s a good thing to me. It’s like I have more friends now.

Iroha: …









Small Kyuubey: Mokyu!

Iroha: This is the entrance to the deepest part…

Momoko: Ah, from here on out, it’s the witch’s private space…

Momoko: I only half-trusted this little one, but it really brought us here…

Iroha: Are we the first ones to get here…?

Momoko: Ah, let’s go in before she catches up…

Iroha: Yes!

Witch: (noises)

Momoko: Haa!

Momoko: Iroha-chan! Watch out!

Iroha: Eh?

Iroha: Fuuhh!





What was that just now? That wave of magical power?

Amazing, my entire body is trembling…





Yachiyo: Oh, the latecomers finally showed up.

Iroha: (The magic just now, it was hers…)

Witch: (noises)

Iroha: She made the witch faint… in just one strike…

Yachiyo: I got so bored of waiting, I decided to kill time playing with this witch.

Momoko: Hey, hey, this has gotta be a cruel joke… no matter how you look at it, she’s way too fast…

Yachiyo: Too fast…? More like you are far too slow.

Yachiyo: I’m sure you knew there would be such a power difference, Momoko…?

Momoko: Guh…

Yachiyo: Oh, this also settles your defeat, doesn’t it.

Iroha: …

Yachiyo: However, I’m going to give you one more chance to win.

Iroha: Oh, one more…?

Yachiyo: Yes, you there, defeat the witch on your own.

Yachiyo: If you can do that, I will acknowledge your ability.

Yachiyo: A pity, since this was my prey…

Iroha: …

Momoko: Stop making idiots out of us! Playing with people like that!

Yachiyo: And even after I’d given you another chance. That’s an awful thing to say to someone.

Yachiyo: Even so, this is not your problem.

Yachiyo: What I’ll do depends on what that girl chooses…

Momoko: Guhh…

Yachiyo: Well, what will you do?

Iroha: (…This is like what Momoko-san told me earlier.)

Iroha: (I might need to return to this town…)

Iroha: Well, I… will defeat the witch here and now!

Yachiyo: Well then, let me see you defeating a Kamihama city witch.

Momoko: Do your best, Iroha-chan.

Iroha: Yes…!

Yachiyo: The witch is starting to move…









Witch: (noises)

Iroha: I’m sorry, Momoko-san! I’ll leave Kyuubey up to you!

Momoko: Leave it to me!

Small Kyuubey: Pugyu!









Momoko: You did it, Iroha-chan!

Iroha: Yes, yes! I did it!

Momoko: How’s that, Yachiyo-san?

Yachiyo: Why are you so proud of her, Momoko…?

Yachiyo: Well…

Momoko: What, are you going to make it even more difficult?

Yachiyo: No, I acknowledge her ability.

Yachiyo: Well, I thought she’d be fine from the very beginning.

Iroha: W-what, really…?

Yachiyo: Yes, it was just a feeling I got from looking at you.

Iroha: Oh, so that’s why you gave up the witch…

Momoko: No, you are playing with people after all…

Yachiyo: I am not. I just gave her a little push in the right direction, for the sake of her goals.

Iroha: A little push…?

Yachiyo: Yes…

Yachiyo: I wonder if I was too mean…

Yachiyo: Since that Kyuubey won’t show up in front of me…

Iroha: Eh…?

Yachiyo: The small Kyuubey…

Yachiyo: Is an irregularity that was impossible until now.

Yachiyo: When I noticed, all the Kyuubeys had disappeared from Kamihama…

Yachiyo: …and only this one was left.

Yachiyo: No matter how you look at it, it must be something dangerous.

Iroha: Haa…

Iroha: Momoko-san!

Momoko: Crap!

Yachiyo: It’s too late!

Momoko: Guuh!

Small Kyuubey: Pukyuu!

Iroha: Kyuubey!

Yachiyo: I can finally erase you.

Iroha: Stop!!









Yachiyo: You don’t get it…

Yachiyo: If you become involved with that Kyuubey, nothing good will come out of it.

Iroha: Has it done anything wrong?!

Yachiyo: It might do something in the future!

Yachiyo: I’m trying to cut the risk down early.

Iroha: If you do that, I won’t be able to hear it!

Iroha: That girl is… that girl is…

Iroha: She might be someone who’s important to me!









Yachiyo: You’ve endured this much, I’ll give you that.

Yachiyo: But this is as far as you go!

Iroha: No!!

Small Kyuubey: Kyu!

Yachiyo: Let go of it, or I will skewer you.

Iroha: No! I will never let go of it!

Iroha: …?!

Iroha: (What… my counsciousness…)

Momoko: Iroha-chan!!

Yachiyo: Aah… that’s what I was talking about… this is your own responsibility.





…

…

Since I started holding the small Kyuubey…

Something’s… coming…





???: Big sis! You came here today, too!





Big sis…?





???: Aah, I want to get healthy quick, and go to school with big sis…





This girl who’s been in the hospital forever…

I know her… from somewhere…!





???: Big sis… my breathing… haa… uuh…

Iroha: Take deep breaths! Okay! You’ll be fine because you’re so strong, —!





I… know her…

Her pained look, and her happy look…

That girl… her name… what was it, again…

That nostalgic, lovely sound…





???: Big sis, can I really get discharged from the hospital…?

Iroha: Of course, Ui!





Ui…?

Ui… Ui…

That’s right, Ui!

My little sister…

She’s always been in the hospital because her body was frail…

My precious, irreplaceable sister…

How could I forget…





Iroha: Please, cure my sister’s illness!

Iroha: Make Ui get healthy!

Iroha: For that purpose… I’d do anything!

Kyuubey: Tamaki Iroha, so that is your wish.









Iroha: Aah…

Mitama: Ah!

Mitama: Momoko, Iroha-chan woke up!

Momoko: Eh, is that true?! Iroha-chan, are you okay?!

Iroha: Momoko-san… Mitama-san…

Momoko: What? What’s wrong? Does it hurt somewhere?

Iroha: I… remembered… why I became a magical girl…

Momoko: Eh…

Iroha: For my little sister…

Iroha: I became a magical girl to cure her illness!

Iroha: How could I forget something so important…

Momoko: When you say you forgot, do you mean like… you’ve been living apart for a long time?

Iroha: No, we were always together...

Iroha: Until recently, we lived together in the same house…

Iroha: But it’s all gone now… it all disappeared

Iroha: And so did she…

Momoko: That’s…

Iroha: It’s the truth.

Iroha: Even if I go sleep at home, it’s only natural that Ui won’t be there.

Iroha: Me, mom, and dad, the three of us always lived together like that.

Iroha: Even I thought I was an only child until just now…

Mitama: So what you’re saying is, even if I’d met your little sister…

Mitama: I’d have forgotten all about her?

Iroha: Yes… I’m sure…

Mitama: Could this be the work of a witch?

Momoko: I’ve been fighting witches for a long time, and a witch like that is a bit…

Mitama: But then, why…

Iroha: There might be other things I’ve forgotten.

Small Kyuubey: Mokyu.

Iroha: Kyuubey…

Iroha: Now even if I touch you, I can’t remember anything else…

Iroha: But you helped me remember Ui, didn’t you?

Small Kyuubey: Kyu?

Iroha: I’m sure that’s it. I have a feeling it is.

Iroha: …

Iroha: Yes… I’ve decided.

Momoko: Iroha-chan?

Iroha: I’ll come here again…

Iroha: To Kamihama.

Momoko: Haven’t you fulfilled your initial purpose already?

Iroha: I can’t leave and not search for Ui…

Iroha: I have a feeling that somewhere in this city, there’s a clue…

Iroha: …for the reason she disappeared, and where she is right now.

Iroha: I managed to remember Ui,

Iroha: thanks to this little Kyuubey in this town…

Mitama: …What if the memory is actually a lie, and was planted there for some reason?

Mitama: I think you should also consider this.

Iroha: Even so, I choose to believe this memory.





Whenever I think about Ui, I get such a lovely feeling…

After that memory became clear, I became confident that she existed.

So, more than anything…





Iroha: Right now, I…

Iroha: I am Iroha Tamaki because I have a little sister called Ui Tamaki…





(Intro video)





Momoko: Iroha Tamaki who has Ui Tamaki…

Momoko: So you’ll believe that memory and keep searching for your little sister.

Momoko: In Kamihama.

Iroha: Yes!

Momoko: Hmm… I see, I get it…

Momoko: Well, let me give you a big welcome! Since you’re one of our allies now!

Mitama: Oh yes, if it means an increase to my customer number, please don’t let me stop you!

Momoko: Hey, you…

Mitama: Ufufu~

Momoko: Well, ’til you come by next time, you can leave the little one with me.

Momoko: Since it looks like I won’t be leaving this town anytime soon.

Iroha: Yes, thank you very much.

Mitama: Well then, Iroha-chan.

Iroha: Yes?

Mitama: Why don’t you give it a name?

Iroha: A name?

Mitama: Won’t you feel bad if we just keep calling it “small Kyuubey”?

Mitama: So why don’t you think of a nice new name?

Iroha: But… is it really fine for me to do that?

Mitama: Yes, I believe this little one is very important to you after all.

Iroha: Then, uhhmm… Kyuubey-chan…

Mitama: Oh, is that really okay…?

Iroha: Then, uhh…

Iroha: How does Chibisuke sound?

Mitama: Fufu, I think it’s great.

Chibisuke: Mokyu!

Momoko: It seems like the little one likes it too.

Iroha: …

Iroha: Chibisuke, will you look for Ui with me?

Chibisuke: Mokyukyu! (Yes, of course!)

Iroha: Let’s have a good time~
