Magia Record: Momoe Nagisa Event Ep. 6

Episode Six:

Now let’s see. Can the dimwitted, foolish Momoe Nagisa become a magical girl without trouble?

If she doesn’t hurry up and become a magical girl, someone could be getting attacked by a witch at this very moment.

But most importantly… If she doesn’t become a magical girl, the story won’t move forward.

Nagisa: (So, if I don’t become a magical girl…)

Nagisa: (Isn’t that the same as doing something bad?)

Kyuubey: Hello, Nagisa. Sorry about yesterday.

Kyuubey: Where are you headed today?

Nagisa: I’m shopping for a present to bring to my mom for when I visit her in the hospital tomorrow.

Nagisa: So I can’t come with you today.

Kyuubey: Couldn’t you just buy something on the way to the hospital?

Nagisa: I want to pick something out more carefully.

Nagisa: Mascarpone!

Nagisa: Gorgonzola!

Nagisa: Mimolette!

Kyuubey: You sure are buying a lot of cheese.

Kyuubey: For someone of your age,

Kyuubey: I think it would be better to think about a more nutritionally balanced diet.

Nagisa: This is all…

Nagisa: Cheese to bring to my mom.

Nagisa: I’m not going to eat it, myself.

Nagisa: I don’t actually like it that much.

Kyuubey: And your mom is going to eat all of that?

Nagisa: No, she might not eat all of it.

Nagisa: But this way she can pick her favorite!

Nagisa: She hasn’t been able to eat, lately.

Nagisa: But lately she’s been able to eat again!

Kyuubey: And you aren’t buying anything to eat for yourself?

Nagisa: I… Ate the school lunch, so…

Nagisa: I can just eat the leftover cheese.

Nagisa: My mom used to be on TV, you know?

Nagisa: She was very cute and popular.

Nagisa: Then after she married my dad…

Nagisa: She got sick… And then she got really sick…

Nagisa: And dad was never home because of work, and…

Nagisa: Then he stopped coming home at all.

Nagisa: He abandoned me and mom.

Kyuubey: ……….

Nagisa: If she hadn’t married my dad…

Nagisa: Maybe she would have never gotten sick.

Kyuubey: Do you hold a grudge against your father?

Nagisa: Not really… I don’t hold a grudge.

Nagisa: I don’t really hold grudges against people.

Kyuubey: I see.

Nagisa: I have my mom.

Nagisa: So I don’t think anything of not having my dad.

Kyuubey: You got an unlucky lot in life.

Kyuubey: I think that for people like you,

Kyuubey: Becoming a magical girl is your best hope for achieving any dreams.

Nagisa: … I…

Nagisa: I’m sure that I won’t be able to do it well.

Kyuubey: You won’t know unless you try. And I’m paying close attention to the limitations of your potential.

Nagisa: If I say no…

Nagisa: Would I be doing something bad?

Kyuubey: Not really.

Kyuubey: This is something that you really should decide for yourself.

Kyuubey: Nobody can force you into it, and there’s no penalty if you refuse.

Kyuubey: But, in my experience,

Kyuubey: Those who reject the opportunity to form a contract,

Kyuubey: Tend to suffer excess stress later on.

Kyuubey: To put it into your terms, they experience “regret.”

Kyuubey: More specifically, let’s see…

Kyuubey: It’s common for people to think back after a couple of months or years have gone by.

Kyuubey: But by the time they start to wonder if the trade-off for having a wish granted…

Kyuubey: If accepting the duty of being a magical girl might have been the better choice…

Kyuubey: There’s already been a big drop in the qualities that would have qualified them to become a magical girl at all…

Kyuubey: Situations like that are common.

Kyuubey: From our perspective, your lifespans last only a fraction of an instant.

Kyuubey: So perhaps it only seems different to you from your own perspective?

Nagisa: ……….

Kyuubey: Basically, if you don’t take the chance,

Kyuubey: It’s possible that it won’t come back around again.

Kyuubey: You have what it takes to become a magical girl.

Kyuubey: I want to be certain

Kyuubey: That you understand the gravity of that privilege.

Kyuubey: That’s why I keep coming to visit you.

Kyuubey: If you wanted

Kyuubey: I think that you could have almost any wish granted.

Kyuubey: For many people

Kyuubey: This is a miracle that could never be granted, even if they dedicated their whole life to it.

Nagisa: But I really can’t believe

Nagisa: That I could have that kind of power…

Nagisa: And Kyuubey, this isn’t the way home!

Kyuubey: … Is that so? I didn’t notice.

Kyuubey: I apologize.

Nagisa: Huh? There’s something over there.

Nagisa: It looks all… Warped…

Nagisa: W-what is this?

Nagisa: What happened?

Nagisa: Where are we?!

Kyuubey: … Oh no!

Kyuubey: It looks like we’ve fallen into a witch’s barrier!

Nagisa: S-something is coming!

Kyuubey: That’s a servant of the witch! Nagisa! Hurry and make a con–

Nagisa: —-?!

???: ……….

Nagisa: A-amazing!

???: … Whaa? Kyuubey?

???: What are you doing here?

Kyuubey: It’s you… The “Sleepwalking Ghost.”

Kyuubey: I don’t know if running into you by chance is good or bad luck.

???: Eeeh… Can’t you be a little more grateful?

???: Jeez! And here I am takin’ them down so quick!

???: Hey kid, this is pretty dangerous, so don’t move around too much!

Nagisa: O-okay.
