Opening: The Two of Us Are Magical Girls!?


Translated by Arctic Passerine

In Landsol, the streets were filled with smiling people. Through this tranquil cityscape, two girls were walking.

Scene: A town square in Landsol.

Kasumi
Thanks for inviting me today, Shiori. I had a really nice time.

Shiori
I'm glad to hear it. I remember you said once that you also liked these kinds of mystery novels, so...

Kasumi
This was my first time attending a book signing by this author, but it had a really cozy atmosphere, so it ended up being a really interesting experience.

Shiori
I know my health problems can get in the way of these things, so I'm grateful to you for coming out with me, Kasumi.

Kasumi
No, no, it was no problem at all. Actually, if you're feeling up to it, why don't we sit down somewhere and talk about some of the books we bought?

Shiori
Ah, I'd love to...! The twusts in this mystery novel were so surprising, and I've wanted to talk to someone about them for a whlie...

Kasumi
They were definitely unexpected and original. The idea that they'd use a meteor shower as cover for their heist is certainly unprecedented, and... Huh?

Kasumi
Shiori, did you see that? In the sky just now, there was a light...

Begin cutscene.

Kasumi
Hmm... I thought it landed somewhere around here...

Shiori
Are you sure it wasn't your imagination?

Voice
Ow, that hurt!

Kasumi
Huh? Did you hear something just now?

Voice
Someone, help!

Shiori
Yes, it sounded like somebody calling out...

Kasumi plucks a strange creatures out of a nearby bucket.

Creature
Ahh, thanks for that!

Kasumi
What's this yellow animal?

Shiori
Is it a rabbit?

Creature
I'm Morra! I came from the Magical Kingdom! I'm a magical creature!

Kasumi
The Magical Kingdom...? Hmm... I've never heard of it.

Shiori
Is a magical creature like... a monster?

Kasumi & Shiori
... How suspicious!

Morra
Wait, wait! There's nothing suspicious about me!

Morra
The truth is, I wanted to ask you two for help!

Kasumi
For help?

Morra
I'd like you two to become magical girls... And save Landsol!

End of cutscene.

Kasumi
Magical...?

Shiori
Girls...?

Morra
That's right! A pure heart and a charming figure! And a heart overflowing with love! A magical girl who fights for peace!

Kasumi
... Um, Shiori. Do you know what this magical creature is talking about? I'm not good with these kinds of illogical things...

Shiori
Um... Morra, why do you want me and Kasumi for this...?

Morra
The queen of the Magical Kingdom told me so! In this world, there will surely be those who can save us!

Morra
Kasumi and Shiori! You'll help me in my hour of need, won't you? I think this surely must be destiny!

Morra
Call it intuition! You two are, without a doubt, the magical girls I've been searching for!

Kasumi
Uh, no matter how I look at it, I feel like it's just a coincidence...

Shiori
... No, Kasumi. Stories about magical girls always begin with coincidences like this...! A meeting with an adorable mascot turns our boring daily lives into --

Kasumi
W-Wait, Shiori, I didn't expect this kind of talk from you...!?

Shiori
Oh, um... Sorry. I've been reading a lot of "Magical Girl Beruru" lately, and I...

Kasumi
Ha ha. Well, it's good that you're that passionate about it. Then, what happens next in these magical girl stories?

Shiori
Um, after meeting the mascot, you usually --

Morra
Ah! This wicked aura... Be careful, you two, it's coming this way!

Shiori
-- end up encountering some enemies.

Anti-beast
Roarrr!

Kasumi
Oh. I see.

Kasumi
But how is there a monster on these streets? What happened to the guards...!?

Shiori
Not to mention, I've never seen a monster like this, even in books...!

Morra
So they've come! That is an "anti-beast"! A being that will bring calamity to this world!

Kasumi
Magical creatures and anti-beasts, it's all a bit much...!

Shiori
Ah, look over there, Kasumi!

Kasumi
... Huh? Someone's fighting against the anti-beast...?

Shiori
That's...!

Yuuki
1. "Don't you come over here!"

Anti-beast
Roaaar!

Kasumi
That's my assistant! For him to turn up now, his timing couldn't be worse...!

Shiori
This is bad, he's being backed into a corner! Yuuki, I'm coming to help you!

Shiori shoots an arrow, but it's deflected by the anti-beast's barrier.

Anti-beast
Roaaar!

Shiori
Huh, it didn't do anything at all...!?

Yuuki
1. "Attacks don't work on it."
2. "Attacks can't hit it."

Option 1.

Kasumi
Right. I could see some sort of barrier surrounding it.

Option 2.

Shiori
I see. Right as the arrow was about to hit, it bounced right off of something...

End of branches.

Kasumi
Huh. I think I can predict how this will turn out, but let's try some magic to be sure!

Kasumi casts a spell, but it's blocked by the barrier.

Anti-beast
Roaaar!

Kasumi
So it didn't break through after all. That barrier seems to be made of some mysterious power...

Morra
Normal attacks won't work on it! The barrier cloaking an anti-beast can only be broken by the overwhelming power of a magical girl's love!

Kasumi
That... doesn't make any logical sense...!

Shiori
Ah, the anti-beast!

Anti-beast
Roaaar!

Kasumi
My assistant!

Shiori
Kasumi...! To defeat the anti-beast and save Yuuki, it looks like we have no choice but to become magical girls...!

Kasumi
... I understand, Shiori. It feels a little like we're being railroaded into this, but if it's to save him, then... We'll have to follow Morra's wishes.

Morra
Okay! Are the two of you prepared?

Shiori
Yes!

Kasumi
... Y-Yeah.

Morra
Then, take my power! Transform into magical girls!

Shiori & Kasumi
...

Kasumi
... You say "transform", but...

Shiori
... What are we supposed to do?

Morra
... Huh? The magic words to transform should have popped into your heads...

Shiori & Kasumi
...?

Morra
Ah! Could it be that, because I gave my power to both of you at once, there isn't enough magic to go around!?

Kasumi
What!?

Shiori
No way...!

Anti-beast
Roaaar!

Shiori
The anti-beast is coming this way...!

Kasumi
This is getting worse by the second...!

Yuuki
1. Cheer the two of them on.

Kasumi
Assistant...! ... What is this...? This warmth within my body...!? This isn't just Yuuki's power, is it...?

Shiori
I feel something overflowing from within in...! On top of Yuuki's power... another mysterious strength...!

Morra
The magical power in the two of you is rising...! Incredible! Could this be... the power of that knight...!?

Morra
Both of you! That is the light of love! Now, recite the oath of your contract --

Morra
-- And transform into magical girls!

Kasumi
Misty, theory, truly! Magical ribbon, spiral!

Shiori
Pure heart, lock on! Magical arrow, critical!

They transform.

Kasumi
Magical Detective Misty Kasumi is on the case!

Shiori
Magical Huntress Purely Shiori will pierce your heart with love!

Morra
Yes! The birth of a pair of magical girls!

Shiori
... So this is... a magical girl...

Shiori
I feel the power rising within me... It's like I'm a whole new person, Kasumi.

Kasumi
...

Shiori
Kasumi...?

Morra
... What's wrong?

Kasumi
... Wh... wha... wha...

Kasumi
Wha?

Morra
Wha?

Yuuki
1. "Wha?"

Kasumi
WHAT IS GOING ONNNNN!?

Narrator
Landsol is confronted by a new enemy, the anti-beasts! But now, a new hope rises in the form of a pair of newly-transformed magical girls! Fight your hardest, Misty Kasumi and Purely Shiori!
