It was after her usual lessons, just as the sun was setting. At the public park she passes by on her way home, Mochizuki Anna witnessed something beyond belief.

"Yuriko-san...? Why are you... naked...?"

After getting a feeling that someone was hiding in a thicket of the park, Anna took a closer look, only to find her friend Nanao Yuriko squatting down.

In the nude.

"Ah, ahaha... Anna-chan, good evening."

"Yuriko-san, Why are you naked? This... is the outdoors..."

Seeing the unbelievable state Yuriko was in, the word that came to Anna's mind was "exhibitionist". Someone who walks around outside in the nude, and gets sexual excitement from it -- Anna had heard that there were people like that in the world.

"Yuriko-san, don't tell me you're... An exhibitionist?"

"N-no, I'm not! That's not it, Anna-chan! Hear me out!"

Stark naked -- though covering her crotch with her hands, at least -- Yuriko shuffled closer to Anna. From up close, she was the perfect picture of a pervert. Seeing Yuriko like that, Anna did start to feel contempt for her.

"There's a very good reason for this. I've kept it a secret from you until now, Anna-chan, but... The truth is... I'm a magical girl!"

"...What?"

The unexpected excuse bewildered Anna. Come on, a magical girl? It's not like this was a manga or a game. There's no way that could be real.

Yuriko was a girl who would sometimes drift off into fantasy-land. Maybe this excuse was an extension of those delusions?

"I'm a magical girl, and... Until just recently, I was fighting an evil monster in the park! But partway through it seemed like I was almost out of energy, so I put everything I had left into one big attack and just barely managed to beat the monster. But after that my transformation was forcibly cancelled, and I ended up like this!"

She was serious. Yuriko wasn't just fantasizing this time; she legitimately believed that she was a magical girl.

"Yuriko-san... You're really lost it, huh..."

"Aahh! That look on your face, you don't believe me!? Uuuu, it's all true though...!"

Anna's friend was starting to worry her. Wandering aound a public park in the nude already made her a plenty crazy girl, but on top of that completely believing that she's a magical girl...

"...Anyway, wait here. I'll go find something for you to wear."

"Eh! Wait here? ...I'm naked right now, you know!? If you abandon me alone like this outside, someone else is going to find me...!"

Certainly, given that Yuriko was an idol, being spotted naked outside would be very bad indeed. If someone took pictures of her and uploaded them online, they'd be all over the net in a flash.

"Then, hide in a stall in the toilets over there. Once I find some clothes, I'll bring them to you there... That should be safe, right?"

"A-Anna-chan... Thank you!"

And that's how, thanks to Anna, Yuriko escaped death (in a social sense). However, Anna's conclusion that "Yuriko-san is an exhibitionist pervert" was hard to shake off, and for a while afterwards Anna looked at Yuriko with disdain in her eyes.

---Until the day that Anna awakened as a magical girl.
