Part 1

'The reason I get picked on so much has to be because I'm weak.'
'If only I was stronger. Everything would be different.'
That's why I became a Magical Girl.
...What?
Didn't get enough the first time around?
Eeek!
I-I'm sorry!
Thanks to the power I got...
It's true that the bullying stopped. Even so...
She's changed recently, don't you think?
Definitely.
I heard she sent a whole group of thugs from another school to the hospital.
I was still very much alone.
That part didn't change at all.
Your behavior recently has become unacceptable.
Unexcused absences, eating in the classroom, and even physical violence.
I can't ignore this anymore.
Oooh, so you're a Magical Girl, too.
Well then. It looks like I don't need to worry about holding back.
I'm going to end you!

Part 2


*Clatter*
Nngh!
Why? Why can't I win?!
No matter how powerful you are...
There will always be some things that are impossible alone.
I'm sure you realize that now.
...
Did you know there are actually more Magical Girls in this town than the two of us?
Fighting alongside them will make you even stronger than you are right now!
Pff, it's too late for that.
Besides, I'm not much of a people person.
―Chisato― Don't worry! It's still not too late!
―Chisato― Now... Can you stand?
―Arisa― Uh...
―Arisa― Yeah!
(That's why...)
(I can't say anything against Chisato, no matter what it is.)
What was that?
...?!
N-nothing!
O-oh yeah! Now that you mention it!
Where do ya think those three girls went?
I thought I heard one of 'em say there was a concert in the shopping center.

Part 3

O-oh yeah! Now that you mention it!
Where do ya think those three girls went?
I thought I heard one of 'em say there was a concert in the shopping center.
A concert?
Oh, do you think it's this one?
Somebody was handing out these flyers over there.
Can I see it for a sec?
Free Sayuki Fumino concert! This sword idol will slash your heart at the shopping center!
Say what?! Sayu-Sayu's doing a free concert today?!
You know who she is?
Uh, yeah, you could say that.
Gah! It already started! Come on!
These kinds of events, um, aren't really my thing.
I never thought of you as someone into idols, Arisa.
Look, a song I happened to hear two days ago really struck a chord with me, okay?!
This is more than a little spur of the moment.
Say whatever you want! Just keep up!
You've waited looong enough!!!
For my final send off... Here comes my fresh new single!
Yes! We made it!
It's about to finish, isn't it?
This one's my fav, I couldn't care less!
Well, if you're happy, then that's fine.
Still, though.
Slash it!!!
Slash it up, Sayu-Sayu!!!
As you wish. Prepare yourselves!
And hooow would you like to be cut down?!
With vengeance!!!
... ...
I'm officially a fish out of water.

Part 4

The time has arrived! Sayu-Sayu has come for you!
'Vengeance of Innocence'!
Eeeee!!!
Yes, here it comes!
It's coming, Momoko!
Back her up 110%!
Uh, yeah!
♪I am who I am, I could never have been another me.
♪Exchanging wounds, exchanging words like swordplay.
♪My reflection in our blades is still the me I've always been...
...
... ...
Arisa? Are you...crying?
Huh?
Never mind.
It's nothing.
...
('My reflection in our blades is still the me I've always been.')
(I see...)
That was so good!
Like, totally awesome!
I know, right?
Wow, that was powerful.
What'd you think, Chisato? Seeing Sayu-Sayu in person for the first time?
It was your first time too!
Don't sweat the small stuff!
*Sigh*
Well, you seemed to fit right in.
Huh? What's that supposed to mean?
*Giggle*
Gaaah! I'm still totally revved up!
