  4. Part 1
  5. ------------------------
  6. [witch’s barrier]
  7.  
  8. Kyoko: “Here it comes…! This is the first witch in a while!”
  9.  
  10. Kyoko: “Mitakihara’s been pretty dried up for witches lately…”
  11.  
  12. Kyoko: “Well then, guess I can just take my time wiping them out!”
  13.  
  14. [battle]
  15.  
  16. Kyoko: “Now as for you, it ends here!”
  17.  
  18. Kyoko: “Haah!”
  19.  
  20. [the witch absconds, and the barrier disappears…]
  21.  
  22. Kyoko: “...!?”
  23.  
  24. Kyoko: “That witch… it had the balls to run away!?”
  25.  
  26. Kyoko: “Dammit, it slipped right out from under my nose…!”
  27.  
  28. Kyoko: “Sigh…”
  29.  
  30. Kyoko: “First witch in forever, and I got fired up for nothing.”
  31.  
  32. Kyoko: (Hm…?)
  33.  
  34. [a Small Child appears]
  35.  
  36. ???: “........................”
  37.  
  38. [Kyoko un-transforms]
  39.  
  40. Kyoko: (That girl… was she caught up in the barrier?)
  41.  
  42. Kyoko: “... Hey there, you alright?”
  43.  
  44. [skip to outside the alley, in the city]
  45.  
  46. Sumomo: “Thanks, Big Sis! You can call me Sumomo!”
  47.  
  48. Sumomo: “But I wonder why I’d suddenly collapse in a place like this…?”
  49.  
  50. Kyoko: “Beats me… maybe you’re anemic or something?”
  51.  
  52. Kyoko: (Of course, it was really just that witch’s fault…)
  53.  
  54. Sumomo: “But… right before I passed out, I think I saw a weird-looking monster…?”
  55.  
  56. Kyoko: (Monster… did this girl see the witch?)
  57.  
  58. Kyoko: “T-That was probably just a dream you had while you were out, don’t you think?”
  59.  
  60. Sumomo: “Is that so… yeah, that must be it!”
  61.  
  62. Sumomo: “Thanks for helping me out! … Uhm…?”
  63.  
  64. Kyoko: “My name’s Kyoko.”
  65.  
  66. Sumomo: “Kyou-ko… How do you spell it?”
  67.  
  68. Kyoko: “With [Anzu] as in apricot, and then the [Ko] in Kodomo.”*
  69.  
  70. Sumomo: “Anzu and Sumomo…”
  71.  
  72. Sumomo: “Wow, it’s kinda like we’re sisters! Is it okay if I call you Big Sis Kyoko?”
  73.  
  74. Kyoko: “......!?”
  75.  
  76. Kyoko: (This is just like…?)
  77.  
  78. Kyoko: (Nah, settle down… it’s just kind of a similar feeling…)
  79.  
  80. Sumomo: “... What’s wrong?”
  81.  
  82. Kyoko: “Nah, it’s nothing.”
  83.  
  84. Kyoko: “You just remind me of a kid I know, that’s all.”
  85.  
  86. Kyoko: (Of my sister who’s no longer here anymore, huh…)
  87.  
  88. Sumomo: “Is that so~”
  89.  
  90. Kyoko: “... Yeah.”
  91.  
  92. Kyoko: “That aside, where’s your house? Is it within walking distance?”
  93.  
  94. Kyoko: “If you can’t walk there…”
  95.  
  96. [*guu~*]
  97.  
  98. Sumomo: “Ah, Big Sis Kyoko! Are you hungry?”
  99.  
  100. Kyoko: “............”
  101.  
  102. Sumomo: “To thank you, wanna come to my house and get something to eat?”
  103.  
  104. Sumomo: “Our house is a cake shop!”
  105.  
  106. ------
  107.  
  108. Fruit Cake Vendor
  109. “Sugar Plum”
  110.  
  111. Sumomo: “Dad, I’m home!”
  112.  
  113. Sumomo’s Father: “Welcome back, Sumomo. Oh, who’s that you’ve got with you?”
  114.  
  115. Sumomo: “This is Big Sis Kyoko!”
  116.  
  117. Sumomo’s Father: “... Thank you so much!”
  118.  
  119. Sumomo’s Father: “If you hadn’t found her, I’m not sure what we would’ve done…”
  120.  
  121. Kyoko: “Nah… it’s not that big a deal…”
  122.  
  123. Sumomo’s Father: “Sumomo, are you sure you’re all right?”
  124.  
  125. Sumomo: “Yup, I feel totally fine! And it’s all thanks to Big Sis Kyoko!”
  126.  
  127. Sumomo’s Father: “I see… Well, we’ll have a doctor look at you later, just in case.”
  128.  
  129. Sumomo’s Father: “... Miss Kyoko, please, you must have something to eat from our shop.”
  130.  
  131. Sumomo: “My dad is a pastry chef! His specialty is making cakes with fruit in them.”
  132.  
  133. Sumomo: “Big Sis Kyoko, do you have any favorite fruits?”
  134.  
  135. Kyoko: “Hmm… Apples, I guess?”
  136.  
  137. Sumomo: “Not apricots…?”
  138.  
  139. Kyoko: “... I don’t decide things based on my name…”
  140.  
  141. Sumomo: “Ahahaha!”
  142.  
  143. Sumomo’s Father: “Well then, please wait just a moment.”
  144.  
  145. Sumomo’s Father: “For this store’s renowned Chocolate Apple Pie!”
  146.  
  147. Kyoko: (What the heck… This shop’s pretty quiet.)
  148.  
  149. Kyoko: (Even though it’s a holiday, there aren’t any customers at all.)
  150.  
  151. Kyoko: (It’s pretty neat and clean, and not too uncomfortable either…)
  152.  
  153. [Here you are…]
  154.  
  155. Kyoko: “Whoa, that looks tasty!”
  156.  
  157. Kyoko: “It’s a real treat for the eyes, too!”
  158.  
  159. Kyoko: “The chocolate almost looks like a tower I can climb on!”
  160.  
  161. Sumomo: “It tastes really good too! Taste it and see!”
  162.  
  163. Kyoko: “Well then, no point in waiting…”
  164.  
  165. [*chomp*]
  166.  
  167. Kyoko: “......!?”
  168.  
  169. Kyoko: “............”
  170.  
  171. Sumomo: “Well? Well well? Big Sis Kyoko!”
  172.  
  173. Kyoko: “Sumomo… I wouldn’t really say this is tasty.”
  174.  
  175. Kyoko: “I’d say that eating this kind of pie is like being born all over again!”
  176.  
  177. ------------------------------------------------------------------------
  178. *TL Note: Kyoko's name is spelled in kanji as 杏子. The 杏 by itself can also be pronounced "Anzu". Anzu means apricot and Sumomo means plum, hence the sisterly connection.
  179. (It's also worth noting that the name of Kyoko's deceased sister is Momo, which means peach.)
  180. ------------------------------------------------------------------------

  184. Part 2
  185. ------------------------
  186. Kyoko: “Thanks for the food!”
  187.  
  188. Kyoko: “Maan… somehow I’m in a really good mood now!”
  189.  
  190. Sumomo: “Yaay!”
  191.  
  192. Sumomo’s Father: “If you’d like to, please eat and drink as much as you want.”
  193.  
  194. Sumomo’s Father: “I can fix up any kind of food you’d like.”
  195.  
  196. Kyoko: “Wow, are you sure!?”
  197.  
  198. Kyoko: “But wait, you should save it for your other customers…”
  199.  
  200. Sumomo’s Father: “Oh, that’s not a problem.”
  201.  
  202. Sumomo’s Father: “At this rate, it doesn’t look like we’ll be seeing any…”
  203.  
  204. Sumomo: “........................”
  205.  
  206. Kyoko: (Ain’t that the truth… there’s not a single other customer in sight.)
  207.  
  208. Kyoko: “Is it always like this?”
  209.  
  210. Kyoko: “Even though your cooking’s this good.”
  211.  
  212. Kyoko: “Don’t you think it’s weird that you haven’t gotten more publicity?”
  213.  
  214. Sumomo’s Father: “No… it’s because of my own shortcomings.”
  215.  
  216. Sumomo’s Father: “Valentine’s Day is almost here, and I still haven’t finished any of my orders.”
  217.  
  218. Sumomo’s Father: “It seems I still haven’t trained myself enough…”
  219.  
  220. Sumomo: “Dad keeps saying stuff like that, but… is it because other shops have tastier food?”
  221.  
  222. Kyoko: “That’s not it at all. This taste has my own personal Seal of Quality.”
  223.  
  224. Sumomo: “Right…!”
  225.  
  226. Sumomo: “The customers who always come here, though…”
  227.  
  228. Sumomo: “They kept saying we aren’t ‘convenient’ or ‘familiar’ enough.”
  229.  
  230. Kyoko: (Convenient… Familiar…)
  231.  
  232. Kyoko: (That’s right… it’s the location that’s bad. It’s too far from the train station.)
  233.  
  234. Kyoko: (But no, it’s not just that…)
  235.  
  236. Sumomo: “When Dad was little, he went to study abroad at a shop in a foreign country.”
  237.  
  238. Sumomo: “So he says he never had a ‘connection’ to home or anything.”
  239.  
  240. Kyoko: (... Still, shouldn’t a genius sweets maker like him be something that’s in pretty high demand?)
  241.  
  242. Kyoko: (I guess being able to make good food just isn’t enough anymore, huh…)
  243.  
  244. Sumomo: “If they could just stop and try one bite of it…”
  245.  
  246. Sumomo: “Then they’d understand how tasty it really is…”
  247.  
  248. Kyoko: (Ah…)
  249.  
  250. Kyoko: (It’s just like… I was back then.)
  251.  
  252. [flashback to the kyoko of the Past]
  253.  
  254. Kyoko: “Why isn’t anybody coming in? The church…”
  255.  
  256. Kyoko: “Even for 5 minutes. If they’d just lend their ears and listen…”
  257.  
  258. Kyoko: “Everyone could finally see that there’s truth in what Dad has to say…”
  259.  
  260. Kyoko: “............”
  261.  
  262. [return to the Present]
  263.  
  264. Kyubey: “Leave it to me, and I can make that wish come true.”
  265.  
  266. Kyoko: “...!?”
  267.  
  268. Sumomo: “Eh… huh? Did that animal… just talk…!?”
  269.  
  270. Kyubey: “My name is Kyubey.”
  271.  
  272. Kyubey: “If you’ll tell me what it is you wish for, I can grant one wish for you.”
  273.  
  274. Sumomo: “What I wish for…?”
  275.  
  276. Kyubey: “That’s right. And in doing so, you’ll form a contract with me and…”
  277.  
  278. Kyoko: “‘Become a magical girl’, is that it?”
  279.  
  280. Sumomo: “Big Sis Kyoko?”
  281.  
  282. Kyoko: “Beat it, Kyubey.”
  283.  
  284. Kyoko: “This town doesn’t need any more magical girls.”
  285.  
  286. Kyoko: “Jeez…”
  287.  
  288. Kyoko: “The witches here are dying out as it is, what are you even trying to do?”
  289.  
  290. Kyubey: “Kyoko, I believe I was talking to this girl here.”
  291.  
  292. Kyubey: “Sumomo, you want everyone to try your father’s cakes, right?”
  293.  
  294. Kyubey: “If you’ll entrust it to me, I promise I will make that wish come true.”
  295.  
  296. Sumomo: “Trust it… to you…?”
  297.  
  298. Kyoko: “...Yeah, and just how’d that turn out for my family, huh?”
  299.  
  300. Kyoko: “That wish didn’t come close to making up for the horrible mess it caused, did it?”
  301.  
  302. [flashback again to Past Kyoko]
  303.  
  304. Kyoko: “... D… ad…?”
  305.  
  306. Kyoko: (No way… they, they’re all dead…?)
  307.  
  308. [back to the Present]
  309.  
  310. Kyubey: “Your wish was granted, though. That much is true, isn’t it?”
  311.  
  312. Kyoko: “You’ve already said that enough. Beat it.”
  313.  
  314. Sumomo: “Big Sis Kyoko!?”
  315.  
  316. Kyubey: “Going the forceful route, huh? … Good grief.”
  317.  
  318. [door closing, the two girls are Outside]
  319.  
  320. Sumomo: “Uh… all that just now…”
  321.  
  322. Kyoko: “That guy’s Kyubey.”
  323.  
  324. Kyoko: “He looks for girls he thinks have potential and turns ‘em into magical girls in exchange for a wish.”
  325.  
  326. Kyoko: “But there are really harsh consequences that come with it. He’s just all-in-all a crooked dude.”
  327.  
  328. Sumomo: “Magical girl…? Exchange…?”
  329.  
  330. Kyoko: “You remember that monster thing you saw earlier, before you passed out?”
  331.  
  332. Kyoko: “It’s a magical girl’s responsibility to keep fighting against those things. Right up until we fall down and die, pretty much.”
  333.  
  334. Sumomo: “So that monster… wasn’t a dream…?”
  335.  
  336. Kyoko: “Yeah, that thing… that witch and Kyubey both recognized you.”
  337.  
  338. Kyoko: “Seems you have the potential to be a magical girl.”
  339.  
  340. Kyoko: “Don’t you go making any kind of wish if you see him again!”
  341.  
  342. Kyoko: “Cause there’s no way any good will come of it!”
  343.  
  344. Sumomo: “But…”
  345.  
  346. Kyoko: “If you want someone to eat this cake, I’ll just bring some of my friends over here.”
  347.  
  348. Sumomo: “Really!? Thank you so much, Big Sis Kyoko!”
  349.  
  350. Kyoko: “Yep, leave it to me!”
  351.  
  352. Kyoko: (Looks like I’m getting soft on her cause she’s close to my little sister’s age…)
  353.  
  354. [cut to blank white background and a certain Familiar Face]
  355.  
  356. That kid who became a magical girl because of me…
  357.  
  358. I just don’t want the same thing to happen again…
  359.  
  360. {battle}
  361.  
  362. [back in the restaurant]
  363.  
  364. Sayaka: “... Well gee, I can’t say I expected an invite from you of all people.”
  365.  
  366. Homura: “Thanks so much for the invitation…”
  367.  
  368. Kyoko: (I know I promised Sumomo I’d bring some friends and all that, but...)
  369.  
  370. Kyoko: (I’m not normally friendly with these guys, which could be kinda bad right now.)
  371.  
  372. Kyoko: (This seems like a place Mami might like, but I’d feel too weird calling her…)
  373.  
  374. Sayaka: “So, can I start getting psyched now? This chocolate cake’ll be a work of art!”
  375.  
  376. Sayaka: “It’s made to invoke the feeling of handmade Valentine’s chocolates!”
  377.  
  378. Homura: “I want to do something like that too, for sure...!”
  379.  
  380. Sayaka: “I wanted to call Madoka over too, but Homura told me not to, so…”
  381.  
  382. Homura: “S-Sorry.”
  383.  
  384. Homura: “I wanted to keep it secret from Miss Kaname that I’m making friendship chocolate…”
  385.  
  386. Sumomo: “Sorry to keep you guys waiting~!”
  387.  
  388. Sumomo: “One Raspberry Choco Tart and one Pumpkin Choco Souffle!”
  389.  
  390. Sumomo: “And finally, one Chocolate Apple Pie!”
  391.  
  392. Sumomo: “Big Sis Kyoko.”
  393.  
  394. Sumomo: “Thanks again for bringing your friends over!”
  395.  
  396. Kyoko: “Yup~ just like I promised!”
  397.  
  398. Sayaka: “Whoa, you doting on someone younger than you? What rare miracle is this?”
  399.  
  400. Kyoko: “N-Never mind what I’m doing, now let’s shut up and eat.”
  401.  
  402. Homura: “Right, now then…”
  403.  
  404. Let’s Dig In!
  405.  
  406. Sayaka & Homura: “...!?”
  407.  
  408. Homura: “T-This… is…”
  409.  
  410. Sayaka: “DELICIOUS~!!!”
  411.  
  412. Sayaka: “What is this? It’s actually moved me to tears!”
  413.  
  414. Homura: “I… that extra sweetness made me feel lightheaded for a second.”
  415.  
  416. Sumomo: “Yay!”
  417.  
  418. Kyoko: “Was I right, or was I right?”
  419.  
  420. Sayaka: “On that note, what is it that made you wanna show us this place?”
  421.  
  422. Kyoko: “Well, actually…”
  423.  
  424. [brief fade out to black, then back in]
  425.  
  426. Homura: “Kyubey’s got his sights on this girl…?”
  427.  
  428. Sayaka: “And he’s trying to get a wish out of her?”
  429.  
  430. Sayaka: “To generate more publicity for the shop...”
  431.  
  432. Kyoko: “Yeah, I felt as much, so I thought ‘why don’t I bring some friends over here?’.”
  433.  
  434. Sayaka: “Well, if it’s for a place with food this tasty, I’ll gladly help out!”
  435.  
  436. Sayaka: “I’m sure Madoka and Mami will feel the same way.”
  437.  
  438. Homura: “I think we should tell Miss Tamaki and the others in Kamihama about it, too!”
  439.  
  440. Kyoko: “Thanks for your help!”
  441.  
  442. Kyoko: “I wanna spread the word about this place to as many people as possible.”
  443.  
  444. Sumomo: “Thank you! Big Sis Kyoko and her friends!”
  445.  
  446. Kyubey: “Going with the honest straightforward campaign, are we?”
  447.  
  448. Kyoko: “You little… you’ve got some balls, coming around here again.”
  449.  
  450. Kyubey: “All you have to do is make a wish.”
  451.  
  452. Kyubey: “But I guess it’s fine if you don’t want to use a roundabout, convoluted method like that.”
  453.  
  454. Sumomo: “If I give you my wish…”
  455.  
  456. Sumomo: “It’ll make it so everyone comes over here to eat my dad’s cakes?”
  457.  
  458. Kyubey: “That’s right.”
  459.  
  460. Kyubey: “This shop doesn’t seem to be in very good shape as it stands, though.”
  461.  
  462. Kyubey: “With your wish, becoming the #1 most popular shop in town will no longer be just a dream either.”
  463.  
  464. Sumomo: “............”
  465.  
  466. Kyoko: “Sumomo, don’t lend one ear to this guy.”
  467.  
  468. Sumomo: “Yeah… but…”
  469.  
  470. Kyoko: “Sure, what he says is true. You wish for a miracle to happen.”
  471.  
  472. Kyoko: “Then, your beloved dad…”
  473.  
  474. Kyoko: “If he found out the real reason all those people were suddenly flocking in here, what would you do then?”
  475.  
  476. Kyoko: “If he found out that his own daughter’s magic tricks were the cause of his success…”
  477.  
  478. Kyoko: “If it was all because of your selfish meddling and nothing else, what would he think?”
  479.  
  480. Sumomo: “Ah…”
  481.  
  482. Kyoko: “There’s one idiot out there who made a wish like that, and it tore her family apart.”
  483.  
  484. Kyoko: “... Yeah, that idiot is me.”
  485.  
  486. Kyoko: “I wished for a miracle for the sake of other people, and that’s how it turned out.”
  487.  
  488. Kyoko: “So please, all I ask is that you don’t end up like me.”
  489.  
  490. Sumomo: “........................”
  491.  
  492. Sumomo: “All right then, Big Sis Kyoko, you’ve got my promise!”
  493.  
  494. Sumomo: “Sorry, Kyubey.”
  495.  
  496. Sumomo: “Me and my Dad are gonna do our best without relying on miracles.”
  497.  
  498. Kyubey: “........................”
  499.  
  500. [he leaves]
  501.  
  502. Kyoko: “He left, huh…”
  503.  
  504. Kyoko: “You’re a good kid, Sumomo. Now do your best to keep your promise!”
  505.  
  506. Sumomo: “Yeah!”
  507.  
  508. Homura & Sayaka: “Heheh.”
  509.  
  510. Kyoko: “... Welp, we gotta get going.”

  512. Sumomo: “Ah… Big Sis Kyoko.”
  513.  
  514. Kyoko: “What?”
  515.  
  516. Sumomo: “No… it’s nothing.”

  520. Part 3

  522.  
  523. [*Flashback*]
  524.  
  525. [It’s almost Valentine’s, huh.]
  526.  
  527. {Yeah…}
  528.  
  529. [If we can’t bring enough customers to the store in time for Valentine’s this year, then…]
  530.  
  531. [“Sugar Plum” will just have to close up shop.]
  532.  
  533. {Yeah… I know.}
  534.  
  535. [That being said, Sumomo… it seems like it’ll be a bit difficult for us to find another job in this city.]
  536.  
  537. [Because of that, we’ll need to pack up and start getting ready to move out of here…]
  538.  
  539. {No!}
  540.  
  541. {It, it’s not like anyone said we have to give up and quit yet!}
  542.  
  543. [That’s true… I’m sorry, Sumomo.]
  544.  
  545. [We’ll give it our very best, right to the end. Exactly like we promised your mom at her grave.]
  546.  
  547. [*present time, sumomo is alone in the streets*]
  548.  
  549. Sumomo: (Lots and lots of customers flocking into Dad’s shop…)
  550.  
  551. Sumomo: (That was Mom’s dream…)
  552.  
  553. Sumomo: (But… no matter how hard Dad works and gives it his all…)
  554.  
  555. Sumomo: (If customers won’t come in, then the shop can’t stay in business…)
  556.  
  557. Sumomo: (If we end up moving someplace else…)
  558.  
  559. Sumomo: (I’ll have to say goodbye to Big Sis Kyoko and the others, huh…)
  560.  
  561. Sumomo: (Even though we got to be really good friends…)
  562.  
  563. [*flashback to kyubey’s visit*]
  564.  
  565. Kyubey: “This shop doesn’t seem to be in very good shape as it stands, though.”
  566.  
  567. Kyubey: “With your wish, becoming the #1 most popular shop in town will no longer be just a dream either.”
  568.  
  569. [*back in the present, a Gertrud Barrier has appeared*]
  570.  
  571. Sumomo: “........................”
  572.  
  573. [*she is then sucked Inside the barrier*]
  574.  
  575. Sumomo: (Eh, what… where is this?)
  576.  
  577. [*enter Gertrud*]
  578.  
  579. Sumomo: (This place… that monster!)
  580.  
  581. Sumomo: (Help me… Big Sis Kyoko!)
  582.  
  583. Kyubey: “........................”
  584.  
  585. [*cut to Kyoko, having a merry time elsewhere*]
  586.  
  587. Kyoko: “Welp, guess I’ll pay ‘em a visit today too… to “Sugar Plum”!”
  588.  
  589. Kyoko: “Ah… hold on.”
  590.  
  591. Kyoko: “It’s like I’ve started treating them as if they’re familiar faces…”
  592.  
  593. Kyoko: “If that’s how it is, I think Sumomo will be pretty happy too, right?”
  594.  
  595. [*she senses a Witch Presence*]
  596.  
  597. Kyoko: “...!?”
  598.  
  599. Kyoko: (This magic… it’s the witch that turned tail the other day!)
  600.  
  601. Kyoko: (Sumomo’s shop is over in that direction too… I’ve got a bad feeling about this.)
  602.  
  603. [*in the alley*]
  604.  
  605. Kyoko: (Its presence is getting closer… the barrier should be right around here…)
  606.  
  607. [*enter homura*]
  608.  
  609. Kyoko: “Eh… hm?”
  610.  
  611. Kyoko: “Ah, are you chasing after the witch too, or something?”
  612.  
  613. Homura: “No… I, uh… I was keeping track of Kyubey’s movements.”
  614.  
  615. Kyoko: “Kyubey…?”
  616.  
  617. Homura: “Yes…”
  618.  
  619. Homura: “I thought, if I could talk with him about a no-contact restriction between him and Miss Sumomo…”
  620.  
  621. Kyoko: “That scumbag… he still hasn’t given up, huh?”
  622.  
  623. Homura: “Yeah… and for the witch’s presence to reappear so suddenly on top of that…”
  624.  
  625. Kyoko: “Then, Sumomo got sucked in…!?”
  626.  
  627. Homura: “I’m not sure, but… from this distance, the chance of getting caught in it is quite likely.”
  628.  
  629. Homura: “The timing of all this, and to someone Kyubey has been targeting…”
  630.  
  631. Kyoko: “Mm… what are you trying to say?”
  632.  
  633. Kyoko: “Could it be… was he looking for an opportunity to catch that witch in a dangerous situation...”
  634.  
  635. Kyoko: “...to try and force a contract out of her!?”
  636.  
  637. Kyoko: “No, there’s just no way, something that demonic and underhanded…”
  638.  
  639. Homura: “...He’d do it. That’s just the sort of creatures they are.”
  640.  
  641. Kyoko: (Quick with the retort… I guess she must have a reason to say that so assertively.)
  642.  
  643. Kyoko: “Well we don’t have the time to be fooling around, let’s dive on into the barrier!”
  644.  
  645. Homura: “R… Right!”
  646.  
  647. [*Inside the Barrier*]
  648.  
  649. Kyoko: “I can't get a good reading. We should try going deeper into the heart.”
  650.  
  651. Homura: “Yeah, let's hurry…!”
  652.  
  653. Kyoko: “...!? Hey, just now…!”
  654.  
  655. Homura: “Yeah, it's the witch's presence. Someone's--”
  656.  
  657. Kyoko: “Shit, it's too far away! I can't get over there in time!”
  658.  
  659. Homura: “... Miss Sakura. Can you trust me with capturing the witch?”
  660.  
  661. [*sumomo is Attacked*]
  662.  
  663. Sumomo: “Gh!”
  664.  
  665. Kyubey: “Hurry and make a contract with me!”
  666.  
  667. Kyubey: “That way, I can turn you into a magical girl!”
  668.  
  669. Sumomo: “Kyubey, I'm sorry! I can't do that!”
  670.  
  671. Sumomo: “I made a promise to Big Sis Kyoko!”
  672.  
  673. Kyubey: “Wait all you want, no one's coming to save you.”
  674.  
  675. Kyubey: “If you don't become a magical girl here and now, that witch will end your life.”
  676.  
  677. Kyubey: “Don't you have any wishes that might be worth risking your life for?”
  678.  
  679. Sumomo: “But…”
  680.  
  681. [*enter Gertrud once more*]
  682.  
  683. Sumomo: “Gyaah!?”
  684.  
  685. Kyubey: “Ah, the witch…!”
  686.  
  687. [*enter kyoko, ready to kick some witch Ass*]
  688.  
  689. Kyoko: “Sorry for the holdup, Sumomo. I got you mixed up with some pretty dangerous guys…”
  690.  
  691. Sumomo: “Big Sis Kyoko!?”
  692.  
  693. Homura: “Miss Sumomo, are you alright!? Were you injured!?”
  694.  
  695. Kyubey: “Kyoko, and Homura… where on Earth did you come from?”
  696.  
  697. Kyubey: “Until just now, there was no trace of your presence to be felt here.”
  698.  
  699. Kyoko: 《This is your time-stopping power, huh… thanks a million, it's because of your help that we got there in time. 》
  700.  
  701. Kyoko: 《Take care of Sumomo. Leave this witch to me.》
  702.  
  703. Homura: 《Okay… thankfully, her injuries don't look too serious.》
  704.  
  705. [*faceoff with gertrud*]
  706.  
  707. Kyoko: “Don't think you're gonna get away with hurting my cute little sister figure!”
  708.  
  709. Kyoko: “You piece of trash… I'll kill you!”
  710.  
  711. Kyoko: “End of the line! Haaaaah!!”
  712.  
  713. Kyoko: “I ain't satisfied yet… Here's an extra serving for ya!!”
  714.  
  715. [*the witch is Down, the barrier disappears*]
  716.  
  717. Sumomo: “Big Sis Kyoko… so cool…!”
  718.  
  719. Kyoko: “You're not hurting anywhere, are you…!? Sumomo!”
  720.  
  721. Sumomo: “I'm okay! Just got a few scrapes…”
  722.  
  723. Homura: “I've already given her first-aid.”
  724.  
  725. Kyoko: “You've had a pretty horrible time of it, huh… jeez, I'm pretty pathetic myself.”
  726.  
  727. Kyoko: “Right here, because I let just one witch get away…”
  728.  
  729. Sumomo: “No... I'm really thankful! You've come to my rescue two times now!”
  730.  
  731. Sumomo: “I… made sure to keep my promise.”
  732.  
  733. Sumomo: “I told him that no matter how many wishes I might have, I'll never ask for miracles from anyone!”
  734.  
  735. Kyoko: “Aah, smart girl!”
  736.  
  737. Kyoko: “Still… you went through some ridiculous crap ‘cause of that.”
  738.  
  739. Kyubey: “Honestly…”
  740.  
  741. Kyubey: “If you'd become a magical girl, you might have been able to forge that path all on your own.”
  742.  
  743. Kyoko: “You little shit…”
  744.  
  745. Homura: “Kyubey… you detected the presence of a witch.”
  746.  
  747. Homura: “And despite that, you purposefully led Miss Sumomo into danger without warning her beforehand, did you not…?”
  748.  
  749. Kyubey: “If I answered differently, would it cause you to doubt me any less?”
  750.  
  751. Homura: “..................”
  752.  
  753. Kyubey: “In any case, it seems that Sumomo's resolve is unbreakable.”
  754.  
  755. Kyubey: “If she's decided for herself that she will not form a contract…”
  756.  
  757. Kyubey: “Then from this point forward, I will no longer appear before Sumomo.”
  758.  
  759. Kyubey: “Is that alright with you, Sumomo?”
  760.  
  761. Sumomo: “Yep! That's fine with me!
  762.  
  763. Kyoko: “... Can we really put our trust that hairball?”
  764.  
  765. Homura: “We can…”
  766.  
  767. Homura: “Though he may withhold some dangerous information from us, I think we can trust him to honor his word.”
  768.  
  769. Kyoko: “I see, that’s one relief at least.”
  770.  
  771. Sumomo: “... Thank goodness!”
  772.  
  773. Sumomo: “If I ran into Kyubey again, I think I might have had second thoughts next time.”
  774.  
  775. Kyoko: “Hm… why’s that?”
  776.  
  777. Sumomo: “Well…
  778.  
  779. Sumomo: “If we can’t fill up the shop in time for Valentine’s…”
  780.  
  781. Homura: “... You’ll have to move away!?”
  782.  
  783. Kyoko: “Hey, I had no idea something like this was going on!”
  784.  
  785. Kyoko: “Well, we’ve just gotta generate some more publicity for the shop before Valentine’s gets here!”
  786.  
  787. Kyoko: “Let’s get back to the storefront, Sumomo!”
  788.  
  789. Sumomo: “O… Okay!”
  790.  
  791. [*back outside the shop, there is a Crowd bustling*]
  792.  
  793. (Bustle, bustle…)
  794.  
  795. Homura: “So many people… what are they doing?”
  796.  
  797. Sumomo: “They’re in front of our shop…?”
  798.  
  799. [*Inside*]
  800.  
  801. [I’m so sorry for the inconvenience…! We’ve been flooded with reservations, you see… reservations for our Chocolate Cakes are being given out through a lottery drawing…!]
  802.  
  803. [We’ll be handing out lottery tickets, so please wait in an orderly line…]
  804.  
  805. Sayaka: “Oh… Kyoko and Homura? Kind of a weird duo, huh…?”
  806.  
  807. Kyoko: “If it ain’t Sayaka. What’s up with all this commotion, huh?”
  808.  
  809. Sayaka: “Huh, you haven’t heard yet?”
  810.  
  811. Sayaka: “”Sugar Plum” has become a huge sensation.”
  812.  
  813. Sumomo: “Eehhh!?”
  814.  
  815. Sayaka: “We’re being flooded with orders for our Valentine-themed Choco Cake!”
  816.  
  817. Homura: “But why so suddenly…!?”
  818.  
  819. Sayaka: “Some big-name fashion model, apparently…”
  820.  
  821. Sayaka: “Word is that she visited this place recently and ate something really delicious.”
  822.  
  823. Sayaka: “It sounded like she was talking about this shop’s Choco Cake!”
  824.  
  825. Sayaka: “...And now, we’ve got scouting agents and such coming in who think it was this place.”
  826.  
  827. Sayaka: “I’m pretty sure there was an interview and some other stuff about it in a ‘BiBi’ WEB article…”
  828.  
  829. Kyoko: “Homura, did you know about any of this?”
  830.  
  831. Homura: “Yeah… ah, here it is!”
  832.

  837. Nanami Yachiyo
  838.  
  839. Extended Interview]
  840.  
  841. Homura: “Wait, Miss Yachiyo!?”
  842.  
  843. Kyoko: “She’s one of Kamihama’s magical girls, isn’t she? To think that girl was such a hotshot celebrity!”
  844.  
  845. Homura: “Could it be… before this, I wonder if Miss Tamaki invited some other people here.”
  846.  
  847. Homura: “At some point, Miss Nanami and her friends must have agreed to go and check it out together.”
  848.  
  849. Homura: “And so they kindly paid the shop a visit… I suppose?”
  850.  
  851. Sumomo: “Ah, this pretty-looking lady…!”
  852.  
  853. Sumomo: “She was hanging around with all the big girls from middle and high school!”
  854.  
  855. Sumomo: “So that lady was a supermodel!”
  856.  
  857. Sayaka: “...So what now? Kyoko called for me and Homura.”
  858.  
  859. Sayaka: “Homura promoted it, and now it’s a hit with Kamihama’s trendy ‘hip’ kids.”
  860.  
  861. Sayaka: “So now it’s suddenly a Huge Prospering Business, I guess?”
  862.  
  863. Kyoko: “On that note… looks like they’ll have no problem securing a full shop on Valentine’s Day, right?”
  864.  
  865. Sumomo: “Yeah… and that means we won’t have to move away anymore!”
  866.  
  867. Sumomo: “Thanks so much, Big Sis Kyoko! Miss Homura, Miss Sayaka!”
  868.  
  869. Sumomo’s Father: “I certainly must express my own gratitude as well.”
  870.  
  871. Sumomo: “Dad…!”
  872.  
  873. Sumomo’s Father: “Why, if Sumomo and Miss Kyoko had never met, right now we’d be…”
  874.  
  875. Kyoko: “Nah… who do you think you should say that to? Homura’s the one who made it work out.”
  876.  
  877. Kyoko: “But I’m so happy for ya, Sumomo! You carried out your family’s dream.”
  878.  
  879. Sumomo: “Yeah!”
  880.  
  881. Homura: “... A tiny miracle, wouldn’t you say?”
  882.  
  883. Sayaka: “Hehehe.”

  900. Sumomo’s Father: “We truly owe so much to you! Thanks to your help, my lifelong dream has come true…”
  901.  
  902. Sumomo: “Come back soon~! Big Sis Kyoko!”
  903.  
  904. [*back to present*]
  905.  
  906. Kyoko: (A small miracle was able to happen without Kyubey’s help…)
  907.  
  908. Kyoko: (With just some honest effort from Sumomo and her dad, and just one little chance encounter…)
  909.  
  910. Kyoko: (Those guys…)
  911.  
  912. Kyoko: (They made their dream a reality all on their own, with their own power.)
  913.  
  914. Kyoko: “............”

  923.  
  924. Kyoko: “Hm…?”
  925.  
  926. Kyoko: “Well, if it ain’t Sayaka.”
  927.  
  928. Kyoko: “What are you doing out here?”
  929.  
  930. Sayaka: “...When we were heading out, something seemed kiiinda off about you.”
  931.  
  932. Sayaka: “I just got a little worried, is all.”
  933.  
  934. Sayaka: “So what’s up? Is something bothering you?”
  935.  
  936. Kyoko: “Hmmm, so I was really that easy to read?”
  937.  
  938. Kyoko: “... Yeah, you’re right.”
  939.  
  940. Kyoko: “.........”
  941.  
  942. Kyoko: “Once again, I ended up bending my own rules.”
  943.  
  944. Kyoko: “I went and used my own magic for the sake of somebody else.”
  945.  
  946. Sayaka: “You mean for Sumomo and her family?”
  947.  
  948. Kyoko: “Yeah.”
  949.  
  950. Sayaka: “.........”
  951.  
  952. Sayaka: “Look, I don’t really know much about what you’ve been through…”
  953.  
  954. Sayaka: “But you…”
  955.  
  956. Sayaka: “It made you happy to see that girl resolve everything without making a contract, yeah?”
  957.  
  958. Kyoko: “... Mm? Ah, yeah, that’s true.”
  959.  
  960. Sayaka: “You weren’t feeling envy, or any other unpleasant emotions, right?”
  961.  
  962. Kyoko: “Like hell, of course not!”
  963.  
  964. Kyoko: “From the bottom of my heart, I was so joyful and relieved to see that family achieve their own dream.”
  965.  
  966. Sayaka: “Then everything’s fine, isn’t it? You helped them out because you wanted to help.”
  967.  
  968. Sayaka: “And in the end, that’s doing something for your own sake, yeah?”
  969.  
  970. Sayaka: “So you didn’t bend a single thing.”
  971.  
  972. Sayaka: “It feels good just to be thanked for doing a good deed, don’t you think?”
  973.  
  974. Kyoko: “.........”
  975.  
  976. Kyoko: “... You know what, you’re totally right. That makes me feel a lot better.”
  977.  
  978. Kyoko: “Man, Sayaka, you sure have a knack for talking out people’s problems!”
  979.  
  980. Sayaka: “Hehe, you just leave it to little old Sayaka~!”
  981.  
  982. Sayaka: (Well… if we’re talking about other people’s problems, anyway.)

  990. Kyoko: (I’ve already started forgetting what it’s like to feel nothing but resentment and disgust, but…)
  991.  
  992. Kyoko: “...There really is this much beauty in the world, huh.”
  993.  
  994. Sayaka: “Whoa, are you okay? Could it be that you’ve hit your limit break?”
  995.  
  996. Kyoko: “Aaah… you shut it! Nothing’s wrong with me!”
  997.  
  998. Sayaka: “Welp, looks like there’s nothing to worry about. ...Then with that, I’ll take my leave!”
  999.  
  1000. Kyoko: “Hm, you going home?”
  1001.  
  1002. Sayaka: “It seems like you’re back to your old self, so yeah.”
