Magilumiere Magical Girls Inc. (2024) s01e02 Episode Script
'Cause BROOMs Are a Piece of Cake
1
Magical Girls.
Strong, cool, and agile
Everyone wants to be one.
They're well-paid and popular.
It's a respectable line of work.
Their main duties involve
a particular natural phenomenon.
They exterminate creatures called "Kaii."
An increase in Kaii over the years
sparked a Magical Girl industry boom.
Ranging in size from large to small,
over 500 Magical Girl companies now exist.
Magical Girls
A legitimate career that every girl
dreams of having at some point.
While job hunting, I encountered
a Magical Girl who piqued my interest.
I ended up tagging along
to her office uninvited, but
You never know a company's true colors
until you step foot inside.
So, you're the new grad?
Pleasure to meet you.
I'm Shigemoto, the president.
What?! The president
A middle-aged crossplayer?!
Hey, Boss Man.
A new candidate already?
Well done, Koshigaya.
Nah, piece of cake.
I'm the one who dispatched her.
They met because of me! Me!
They act like this is normal
EPISODE 2 : BROOMS ARE A PIECE OF CAKE
I'm Kaede Midorikawa from Sales.
This is Koshigaya,
whom you've already met.
Hitomi Koshigaya. Nice to meetcha!
Nice to meet you too.
Nikoyama, come say hi.
to strengthen the effect
compile previous data
or perhaps
Oh, Nikoyama? I didn't see you there.
The gang's all here.
Sorry, he's in focus mode.
We'll be in the control room.
Let's talk later.
Wait, wait, wait
What's with these people?!
Seeing a Magical Girl in action
was exciting, but
maybe joining the company
on a whim was a mistake.
I should quit while I'm ahead.
Sorry for all the noise, Sakuragi.
Oh, um actually
Now, first order of business
for our new member
Wait, I think um
Some on-the-job training
flying one of these!
It's a BROOM!
Magical Transportation Device : BROOM.
The most integral of all Magical Devices.
Your primary means of transport,
but that's not all.
You can also download
software and customize it.
Maybe I'll give it a ride first.
I can quit afterwards.
You're really starting me off
with professional equipment like this?
I'm practically still a student
Sakuragi, we're a start-up company.
Unlike large corporations,
we can't spend a year training newbies.
That means even a new hire
can work as a pro.
If you want, you can start
as a real Magical Girl today.
A pro
Just hours ago, nobody needed me.
I didn't know whether I'd even find a job.
But here
I feel like the world needs me.
Alrighty, here you go.
The BROOM manuals.
Manuals?
The BROOM is a tool of the trade.
You need to learn how to use it.
Whatcha got there?
Wow, I've never read these.
Just hop on and go.
Since we're both here,
I can teach you right now.
Ms. Koshigaya
That was crazy, Kana.
I've never seen anyone
fly straight into a tree before.
That wasn't exactly my intention
Okay, listen up one more time.
Basically, just get on
and go "zoom!"
And go like "pow!"
That'll keep you stable.
Got it?
No, I don't got it.
You'll be fine. It's a piece of cake.
Take another whack at it.
I'll try.
I'm sorry, Ms. Koshigaya.
I think I'll read those manuals first.
MAGILUMIERE MAGICAL GIRLS INC.
Looking for something?
Kana here wants to study up
on that BROOM stuff.
Are we in the way?
That's fine, but
since when do we have all these books?
Kana wanted to buy more,
so we did!
I apologize.
I'm definitely just
a run-of-the-mill kinda girl.
I don't have the ability
to handle tools intuitively,
or any talent
for appealing to interviewers.
I'm not articulate enough
to express my strengths, either.
All I can do is study
the old-fashioned way.
It's the only way
I can be helpful.
Is the boss here?
What's up, Kaede?
Look at this.
"An extermination at 4:30 p.m.
for Koshigaya and Sakuragi."
So, you mean
A request to exterminate
a small-scale Kaii somewhere.
It's less threatening than
that sudden outbreak the other day.
But maybe it's too early
to have a newbie tackle this one.
Why is Sakuragi's name here?
I put her in.
Boss!
Koshigaya and Sakuragi.
The two of you have
an extermination today at 4:30 p.m.
Get the details from Midorikawa later
I can't!
I'll just get in the way!
I can't even properly ride a BROOM yet.
Kana.
Don't you worry.
Riding a BROOM is a piece of cake.
Sakuragi.
I saw the footage
of you helping Koshigaya.
That Magical Device was just released.
It was our first time using it.
Yet, you understood it immediately.
Well, I
I just knew the basics.
It wasn't a big deal
Many people know the basics
of that Magical Device, I'm sure.
But most people can't apply
that knowledge in a real operation.
The ability to calmly observe,
report and make suggestions,
and respond proactively to an emergency.
You accomplished something
an ordinary person couldn't.
You may not realize it yourself.
But you're
incredibly talented.
However, if you're uncomfortable,
I won't force you to do this.
The choice is yours.
I'll do it. I'm ready to work.
Thank you.
Time to prepare her transformation.
Nikoyama!
Did somebody say "transform"?!
Fix her up however you please!
And make her super-cute!
It's okay, he's really not scary.
Well maybe a little.
This is Kazuo Nikoyama,
our Magic Engineer.
He does BROOM configuration,
transformation gear, and remote guidance.
He's vital to us behind the scenes.
I've waited so long
for a new Magical Girl to come along
to test my new transformation effects!
New girl!
Your skin
summer colors suit you, yes?
-Height about 153 centimeters?
-Yes
Shoe size I'd say 23.5.
I see it! This season's cutest look!
-He's done it again.
-Get working, Niko!
Programming transformation now!
Do it, now!
Niko's always like that.
Be nice to him, okay?
Of course, I'm actually flattered.
Days ago, I was just a student.
Now, I'm being depended on.
They're doing all this for me
I don't even deserve it.
We feel the same about you.
You saw our work, helped us out,
and even wanted to join us.
For a start-up like us,
that means the world.
-Done!
-Already?
Here's your transformation key.
It's also your employee ID.
Hold it out and shout the command
"Activate Code C" to transform!
I'm a working girl now.
With this, I'm a Magical Girl.
Activate Code C!
What now?
-You're doing great!
-Just stay like that.
-Home stretch!
-Stand tall!
I really transformed!
I'm glad I obsessed over those effects!
Why do transformation scenes
always make me weep?!
First-timers never fail to induce tears!
These guys are scary!
You're cute as heck, Kana.
Ms. Koshigaya
Now that we're suited up,
let's get to work!
Ready!
MAGILUMIERE MAGICAL GIRLS INC.
Wind direction : check.
Aerial scan : check.
Ideal weather for your first flight.
You ready, Kana?
Ready.
Awesome!
Let's hit the sky!
She managed to fly.
Like a baby bird leaving its nest.
Boss, Midorikawa,
let's head to the control room.
Look, you're flying. Wanna go faster?
Don't talk to me right now.
Whoa, you're hella focused.
Wow I'm doing it.
I'm a Magical Girl.
Sakuragi, do you copy? It's Nikoyama.
Yes!
I'll be your remote support.
First, navigate to the extermination site.
Downtown entrance. Course : 11 o'clock.
You can see it ahead.
Whoa, the whole floor
It's a Structural Parasite.
Looks like a Kaii buildup in the plumbing
suddenly expanded outward.
An attack from the outside is safe,
but the protruding part may counterattack.
Keep your distance.
Niko, could you scan for people inside?
Huh? The report said everyone evacuated
I wanna make sure.
Someone's there!
Fourth window from your left.
Yeah, I had a feeling something was off.
I'll go save 'em.
But it's dangerous to approach.
It'll be fine, as long as
I don't get clobbered!
Ms. Koshigaya?!
Be right back!
Okay Can't open the windows, huh?
Let's kill two birds with one stone.
Deploy Short-Range Magic Template 3.
Apply simplex. Output : 30.
B5 to AE-33.
Koshigaya!
It's coming from a different angle!
Gotcha!
Execute Function!
-Sakuragi.
-YYes?
This is an irregular case.
Magical Girls should prioritize safety.
Okay
Worked like a charm.
Now I'll smash it to pieces.
First up, one shot!
Her fighting style
makes me sick to my stomach.
That's not even "one shot."
But she is a whiz at this, so
Um, Mr. Nikoyama!
What is it?
Uh, I think there may be a crack
in the rear of Ms. Koshigaya's BROOM.
The rear of the BROOM?
You're right! The magic power is leaking.
How did you see that?
I read warnings about similar issues
in those BROOM manuals.
It's worn out.
Since losing her BROOM
during that fight on the highway,
she's been using an outdated spare.
And she's being rough with it
The extra rider adds weight, too.
She can't fly much longer.
Ms. Koshigaya!
Quit your moaning.
It's a piece of cake, I'm tellin' you.
No you can't!
It's dangerous to continue.
Don't be an idiot!
If I don't smash this thing, who will?!
I ain't putting our newbie in danger!
Sakuragi hasn't learned
how to use magic yet.
Koshigaya is the only one
capable of attacking
But she can't hold out much longer.
I've fought through stuff
much worse than this.
I'll finish it right now.
Just sit back and watch!
What should I do?
I can do it
But what if I mess up?
What if I make a wrong step
and cause even more damage?
I'm only book smart.
When has that ever helped?
Do I really believe I can help?
I should avoid butting in
and just observe like the newbie I am.
You may not realize it yourself.
But you're incredibly talented.
I can be useful here!
Mr. Nikoyama, have Ms. Koshigaya withdraw.
I'm firing a Magic Shot.
What? Sakuragi?
But you haven't What are you?
All About BROOMs, page 49.
BROOMs have functions outside of flight.
If we switch to one of its other modes,
we can fire a single Magic Shot.
I found it! Really fine print, though.
But it's still too dangerous
for a beginner!
Ms. Koshigaya's in more danger than I am!
Let me do this!
-But
-Permission granted.
Alert Koshigaya.
If we can't trust our newbies
we're not a legit start-up.
Thank you.
Code V Activate!
Keep running Pattern F.
Add Mode A.
Koshigaya!
There's no time for
Sakuragi is shooting
a Long-Range Magic Shot.
This attack will take it down.
Contain the target straight after.
Niko, wait. She can't
Koshigaya.
Sakuragi is a Magical Girl now.
She'll be okay.
Don't overdo it, Koshigaya.
We hired a newbie
specifically to help you out.
Go get 'em, Kana.
Okay!
Deploy Pattern A.
Target straight ahead.
Full output.
Aligning Target locked.
Execute Function!
Awesome job!
Format : Wit!
Containment complete.
Our newbie is amazing.
Disregarding her senior's orders,
firing unpracticed magic on the spot
She's perfect for a start-up like us.
Boss, are you crying?
This stuff moves me to tears
You're crying too, Midorikawa?
When Boss cries I cry too!
Feels good flying home
after a job well done, huh?
It does.
I still can't believe it.
I just fired magic with my own hands.
I'm still shaking.
Everyone's waiting for us, right?
Let's hurry back.
Yeah, Boss Man's probably
getting chewed out right now.
What?!
I sincerely apologize.
Why do you insist on crushing
all Magical Girl conventions?
With all due respect,
the very purpose of a start-up
is to challenge such conventions.
You never change, do you? Anyway
Welcome back.
Mr. Boss is it true you're getting
chewed out because of me?
Did you just hang up on someone?
It's fine. Nobody important.
-BBut
-Sakuragi.
I take full responsibility
for this company's actions.
And I trust your judgment.
Our company is thrilled
to have you on the team.
Thank you.
Our second girl I can't help but cry
Talent so precious for a start-up!
Right you are, Boss.
You did so well,
holding it together for so long
