Magilumiere Magical Girls Inc. (2024) s01e05 Episode Script
Joint Project
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.
My voice is warmed up.
And, all of today's
scheduled work is complete.
We don't have any new orders.
That means
Today, we're having a karaoke party!
EPISODE 5 : JOINT PROJEC
-Karaoke party?
-Yes.
Oh, that's why you warmed up your voice?
Of course.
Vocal health is essential.
Anyway, this is a sudden proposal, so
please prioritize any prior commitments.
I'll go alone if I have to.
Please have fun!
Mr. Nikoyama?
I'm dying to go,
but I still have work to do
Activity reports, document edits,
and Magical Device adjustments, correct?
All taken care of, right here.
B Boss!
He means business
Boss Man's serious about this.
We might change history tonight.
With our company karaoke party?
I have just the thing.
I have coupons for all of us,
valid through this month!
Cool beans, Kaede!
Overprepared, much?
Not at all.
Every sales guy carries coupons
for corporate outings like this.
Oh, they do?
KARAOKE PARSLEY
And some honey toast
Ms. Koshigaya!
Didn't you just order some?
Waiting makes me hungrier.
So, the boss dresses
relatively normal in public.
Everyone's acting like this is natural,
but I still don't get it.
And I don't know when to ask.
Who's gonna sing first?
It's the Boss Man's go-to song!
Yes.
It was underneath!
Wait, that outfit
Yes, Sakuragi
it appears you have noticed.
From the anime,
Singing Angel Sugar
it's the main Magical Girl
Shiori Sugar's transformation outfit!
I I knew it!
In perfect form, my sparkling dream!
He picked that costume specifically
for this just as I'd expect!
You're really one of us now, Kana!
I never want this pain
to ever, ever be in vain
Try again today
Wipe those tears, get going!
With you, right here
-He's really good.
-You're adorable, Boss Man!
Pardon me.
Who ordered the honey toast?
That's mine, over here.
Nobody stands in our way!
Ultimate strength defend!
Going on with my
one and only best friend!
-Miracle, miracle
-Grasp your miracle
M-I-R-A-C-L-E! Oooh
Yay!
Your Sugar never gets old, Boss!
All that warming up did the trick.
Mm-hmm.
???
I didn't quite catch that
Next, I'll sing one!
Yeah, go get 'em, Niko!
Join the party, Sakuragi.
Oh, okay.
"TO BLUE SKIES"
Ah~
Where is that cloud drifting off to?
Here's the extra order of honey toast.
Over here! Thanks, guy!
Pardon me again.
He disappeared!
Mr. Nikoyama?
I don't understand
Maybe Mr. Nikoyama isn't good with people.
my wavering heart
Why does it feel like diving
Tell me why! Tell me why!
For an eternity
Why, why, why, hey!
Turn to the sky
He's got the perfect backup singers.
to reach you
Ear to ear, the devil he smiles
Where do I look to find the truth?
In the dark, an angel she hides
She's singing into a fork?!
known all along!
I never know how she sings like that.
Even without a mic, her voice carries.
Lost in the dark
Leading us all, the angel she guides
Our destiny was known all along!
So, chaos ensues crazy night!
Hooray!
Phew when you're singing,
honey toast hits the spot!
Hey, Kana,
order more of this honey stuff.
Oh, sure thing.
One honey toast.
You gonna sing, Kana?
Me, sing?
Going by order, it's your turn.
Go on! Let's hear it.
Alright, then. I guess
Isn't that
"WE CAN STILL FLY"
It's Kirakirazaka47's "We Can Still Fly"!
Oh?
Go for it, Sakuragi!
That youth we left behind
never fades away
Another light to shine us on our way
No matter how strong, no matter how weak
We weren't afraid of anything
Cuteness!
Cuteness~!
She knows all the lyrics and dance steps?
Even though we're standing still
We should still have the strength to fly
Tomorrow's calling out our name
Let's up and open the door
Extending your reach,
leave darkness behind
Try to believe,
now hold your head up high
Cute as heck, Kana.
KARAOKE PARSLEY
I'm going again!
Y'all ready for this?!
Yeah!
Mr. Midorikawa, are you not singing?
My role is to memorize
all the president's best songs
and queue them up for him.
I see that.
Kaede!
While you're at it,
order some pizza and fries!
You got it.
Since we're all here,
why don't you sing too
Sakuragi, is this something
you might sing next?
Oh! Yes.
That's exactly what I planned on
singing next, but
Good. I suspected your generation
would choose something like this.
Pardon me.
Here's your shrimp crackers,
chocolate pizza, and fried rice.
Whoa, chocolate pizza!
Gimme that, Kaede!
Let Boss go first.
Sakuragi, can you clear the empty plates?
S Sure!
Impeccable service, Mr. Midorikawa
Hello?
Yes.
Okay, thank you.
We're out of time.
Alrighty, let's bounce!
We're ready for the bill.
The suit suddenly reappears
Tidy this place up a bit.
Yes, Boss!
We really sang our socks off!
Thank you for accompanying me.
I had a great time, Boss.
That medley of yours
got us psyched, Boss Man.
Let's do it again soon.
Yes.
You really enjoy times like these,
don't you?
I'm
aiming to protect moments like these
all over the world.
All over the world
Protecting moments like this
Thanks again for today.
Seeya tomorrow!
Go straight home, okay?
Supervise her for us, Kana.
What do they think I'm gonna do?
I'm heading this way. Thanks again!
Okay. Be careful.
Bye!
Today was a good day.
Yeah.
Where are you headed now, Boss?
Back to the office.
I remembered something I have to do.
Alright, then. Take care.
Thanks.
Wasn't that a blast?
It was kind of amazing.
Ms. Koshigaya
Hm?
We're a strange company, aren't we?
With a president like that, I'll say.
But that's why we love it.
Sounds like he had a colorful career
even before starting Magilumiere.
That's what Kaede told me.
I dunno when he started
dressing like that, though.
Dressing like
He's looked like that since I came.
I can't believe you still joined.
Really? I mean
you joined too, right?
She has a point.
But
I still know nothing about him.
This late, already?
How are you, Shigemoto?
It's been ages.
I see you started a Magical Girl
company, so I have a request
MAGILUMIERE MAGICAL GIRLS INC.
Good morning!
Good morning.
Magilumiere Magical Girls.
Oh, yes. Thank you for calling.
Yes. Right I agree.
THROAT LOZENGES
Yo, Kana.
Could you gimme one?
Um, sure. Here.
Thank you.
Boss,
any lunch plans today?
Boxed lunches.
Yes, thank you. Goodbye.
Boxed lunches? I'll order them.
What does everyone want?
Okay, I'll order a
Mr. Midorikawa knew we'd be a mess today.
That's why he didn't sing
Fried fish.
No can do, Boss.
Three days in a row?
That's not a balanced diet.
I'll order you a variety box.
Vocal health really is essential.
Hello?
It's been forever, Shigemoto!
How are you?
I'm surviving.
Sorry for calling out of the blue.
I don't mind.
So, about my email
Are you interested?
Yes, the newbie I hired recently
is well-suited for this.
Thank you, it's a huge help.
Magilumiere is becoming
the talk of the town, you know.
Your company contained the Kaii
in that shopping district, correct?
Yes, that was us.
And you still haven't
mended fences with Koga?
We never had a falling out
to begin with.
We just haven't found time to talk.
I get it.
Well, I'm glad you're doing well.
Let's catch up over tea sometime.
Sounds good.
I'll talk to you later. Bye.
Bye.
There you are, Boss.
The lunch boxes have arrived.
Midorikawa
Is Sakuragi still here?
Listen up, Kana.
There's magic that makes food tastier.
For example, your hamburg steak lunch
A meat patty with
a good balance of sides, right?
You got some white rice,
macaroni salad
Just an ordinary lunch.
Now, get a load of this spell!
The store's hamburg steak lunch ads
stir up your appetite like crazy!
Read this while chowing down.
As if by magic, it'll taste better!
Really?
That probably only works for you.
Just try it, come on.
"Delectable, sweet sauce
chock-full of caramelized onion."
"Enjoy our signature hamburg steak
oozing with juicy goodness."
Don't forget to eat while you read!
It tastes better!
I know, right?!
Could I get a Magic Patent for this?
I doubt it.
Sakuragi
Can we talk after lunch?
Sure, why?
A joint project?
I want you to assist another company
for one week only.
It's a collaboration with Miyakodo Ltd.
Miyakodo? Isn't that
Applies just like magic.
Miyakodo's New Airy Foundation.
Stays on, even during flight!
Perfect for Magical Girls, too.
-You mean, that Miyakodo?
-Yes.
-Isn't that a huge cosmetics manufacturer?
-Yes.
Why is such a major company
partnering with us?
Did you know they have
an in-house Magical Girl Department?
Well yes
The president, Miyako Asou,
is an old acquaintance.
She asked for our help.
Magical Girls at Miyakodo
also appear in their brand advertisements.
Your acquaintance?
You'll learn a lot from observing
the methods of other companies.
A powerhouse CEO?
Is Ms. Koshigaya going, too?
Koshigaya is taking PTO tomorrow.
PTO?
I've been working like a dog lately.
Since you're unqualified
to take an order alone,
you'll be partnered with
a Magical Girl at Miyakodo.
A partner?
Follow her directions, and you'll be fine.
So, basically,
there's nothing to fret about.
Go have some fun.
Okay.
"Nothing to fret about"?
I beg to differ!
It's like a luxury hotel.
There's even a café!
I apologize for the wait.
Ms. Sakuragi from Magilumiere, yes?
Please take this visitor's badge
and proceed to the fifth floor.
I'm so nervous.
Let's see
Are you from Magilumiere?
It's nice to meet you.
I'm Lily Aoi,
a Magical Girl here at Miyakodo.
Oh, I'm
Kana Sakuragi, from um, Magilumiere.
As expected of the beauty industry
She's gorgeous.
Follow me.
A Magical Girl Department
is rare for a manufacturer, isn't it?
It's been a tradition since our founding.
Do department transfers happen a lot?
All the time.
Please, drink it while it's hot.
Oh, right.
Thank you.
Herbal tea
Actually, two years ago,
I worked in another department.
I joined the development team
as a new grad,
but I transferred here.
I'm often considered a "Magical Lady"
since I'm older than most Magical Girls.
Amazing
She speaks like a princess,
yet she's as friendly as can be.
Every movement is graceful.
I've never met anyone like her.
I always liked the Miyakodo brand,
which is why I joined.
But I had an interest
in Magical Girls, too.
Doesn't every girl want to be one?
Oh, heavens.
I'm talking your ear off, aren't I?
I look forward to working with you
on this joint project, Ms. Kana Sakuragi.
Likewise.
Let's get this project started.
What shall we do first?
I actually did some research
for this joint project,
including the Magical Devices you use,
and basics of how to
Today, I think
we'll go shopping for cute outfits
and get some tea.
