M-Minori-san...
Wh-What is it?
What's with that outfit?
Well, you see, Myucel...
While I was airing out some of my clothes, I stepped out for a moment,
and Myucel misunderstood and washed them all.
Then, to make matters worse,
she spilled some kind of vichyssoise soup on the clothes I was wearing...
So since I didn't have anything else, she lent me this until they're dry.
So that's Myucel's?
Yeah, so it's a little tight.
BALS!
Shinichi-kun, are you all right?
My eyes! My eyes!
Hm?
What are these?
Hm? Hmm?
Oh, there you both are.
Something terrible has happened.
I see.
10. Magical Girl Petralka
Well...
you all remember the soccer match the other day, right?
We had the SDF record the match to use in their report of our activities...
Oh, yeah, I remember.
Well, the footage has been leaked onto file-sharing websites!
She's cute. Location: Tachikawa. Dwarves? The elf's cute. Awesome.
[LEAK] Other races? Playing soccer lolol Registered tags: "Inamazu Twelve" "Kobayashi Soccer" "Cosplay Soccer"
[Petralka] Outbreak Company BDs On Sale [Myucel]
It's stirring up quite a storm...
She's cute. Location: Tachikawa. Dwarves? The elf's cute. Awesome. Professional crime. Play baseball! Cute!
WHERE IS THIS?!
Is this Hollywood?? Yesssss! The ears... an elf? Yes! Light armor! Awesome makeup lolol Awesome! Are those armored dozers real? Think it's real? lololololol Contributed by NASA
A few enthusiasts have already started identifying the squad,
It's not Japan at least. Then why's the SDF there? They're leveling ground. Eastern Europe? This wasn't supposed to be leaked. Cool!
from their equipment and insignia.
Whoa, so cute! Furry! Class A! Give us her name! lololololol Bet she's an awesome defender. Sexy~ lololololol How'd they do her ears? Timu Fulotz!!!! Cute!
This some movie? She looks like a queen. Long hair! Cute! She looks fast. Join my team! She's gorgeous! CUTE! CUTE! CUTE!
That kind of thing works fast on the Net.
Timu Fulotz!!!! Timu Fulotz!!!! Timu Fulotz!!!! Timu Fulotz!!!! Timu Fulotz!!!! Timu Fulotz!!!! Timu Fulotz!!!! Timu Fulotz!!!!
Shut up! She an elf? Looks so real!
If the existence of this world is exposed,
our project goes back to the drawing board.
All our work will be for nothing...
No, there's no need to worry.
Huh?
We just have to make the leaked footage into a scene from a fantasy movie.
A flashy entertainment feature, made with the SDF's full cooperation!
Let's start by uploading a "making of" feature!
A fake documentary?
Bingo!
Then, I'll be the director!
I already have some experience filming my cosplayer friends!
But how is that going to take care of this?
Leave it to me!
I have a few ideas of my own.
I want to cut... I want to cut...
I want to cut!
You've got nowhere left to run.
Give it up and become my servant!
Who's there?!
Doing transformation scenes with a real magical item sure brings the scene to life!
Good, and cut!
Take five!
We'll resume filming in 30 minutes!
Phew...
Your Imperial Majesty,
that was excellent!
You think so?
Good work, Master.
Thanks.
That costume looks wonderful on you.
Well, I'm used to wearing this...
You look good in yours, too.
R-Really?
Th-Thank you very much!
I'm so happy.
We even match...
Good work!
Oh, Elbia, you're playing a student, too?
The director told me to.
The uniform is custom-made, too!
Oh! That's our Minori-san!
She knows which buttons to press!
This is another of Master's buttons...
Shinichi!
How does this costume look?
Do I look good?
Yes.
What was that pause for?!
Well, I was so surprised by how good you look...
I see.
Very well, then! Good!
What?
You want me to let you film a movie?
We're all going to make a special effects fantasy film.
It'll let our students try a new genre,
and give them an enjoyable way to hone their skills!
It's the perfect opportunity!
Sounds like fun!
Very well. I permit it!
If you need anything, let me know.
In that case...
I need you, Petralka.
What?!
I want you to be the heroine!
Huh?!
Sir Shinichi, that's a bit too...
Why?
Why do you want me to be the heroine?
It's going to be Eldant's first movie,
so the main character has to be someone important.
I can't think of anyone more suitable for the role than Your Imperial Majesty.
Not Myucel, then?
Huh?
You didn't come to me just because Myucel turned it down, did you?
Nope.
You're the only one I can picture as the heroine.
It can only be you, Petralka.
My breasts are small, though.
You still want me to do it?
She's still worrying about that...
It has to be you, Petralka.
All right, I understand!
Then, use me as you see fit!
We'll be counting on you until the end of shooting.
Leave it to me!
Think this'll solve our problem?
Well, everything's going as planned so far.
I'm impressed you've come this far in just a month, but...
These are the fruits of Shinichi-kun's lessons.
When we told the students they'd be making an independent film for the school festival,
it really got them all fired up.
The ones who started writing fanfic after getting absorbed
in translating light novels are writing the scripts for us,
and from the ones who've developed an interest in cosplay,
we selected those with the most talent to create the costumes.
So you combined work with pleasure...
Tee-hee!
Koganuma-kun!
I'm sorry to burst in like this, but...
Call me Director here!
I'm sorry! Director, please come with us!
We've discovered a dragon's nest!
Okay, change in schedule.
Let's go scout our next big star!
Gatcha, Gatcha, Gatcha, Gatcha!
Gatcha, Gatcha, Gatcha Gatcha-cha!
This is the dragon tamer, Luna-kun.
Her miraculous voice allows her to tame any fearsome beast...
Hey, Koganuma-kun, your armpits are really sweaty.
Over there.
A word before we begin.
Dragons' noses are very sensitive.
Please be sure not to use any sprays.
I'm surprised you know about sprays.
Especially not antiperspirant sprays.
That's very specific.
They enrage a dragon.
You've been through a lot, huh?
Now then, Luna-kun.
Yes.
Luna-kun!
For now...
Let's give up on using the real thing.
Petralka!
About your lines in the next scene...
M-M-Master...
S-Sorry! But why?
Did you come in to peek since they called off the shoot?
Huh? Called off?
They shouldn't have... huh?
Since you're already here...
I want to draw a nude of you, Lord Shinichi!
Huh?!
Come on, Lord Shinichi!
Whoa! Time out! Time out!
Oh, Shinichi!
Perfect timing. Help me out!
No, no, no...
I'm sure you're used to that, but...
What are you doing?
Hurry up and help me.
I can't do that!
Master.
Ah, Myucel, you won't say anything strange, right?
Master, if you wish it...
Hey, what are you saying?
Myucel?!
I...
"I..."?
What are you sa—
Isn't there anyone with any common sense around here?!

Wires, okay!
Good, let's roll!
Y-Your Imperial Majesty...
Even if we are studying magic-free special effects, that's so bold...
That's just the line we're feeding the public.
Huh? Really?
We have to create "making of" footage
to make it look like the magic scenes were all just special effects.
Ready...
Go!
Spin around, and finish with a pose!
Good, okay!
Everyone appearing in the next scene,
please run through your lines!
Phew...
I'm kinda excited to see how the transformation scene turns out.
That excitement is the great part of making a movie with special effects.
I see.
Then, I look forward to seeing it when it's done.
Magical Madoka
After that, we went on to film lots of scenes.
Magical Madoka
Petralka seemed to take on an entirely new persona,
Magical Madoka
having a blast,
Magical Madoka
showing us lots of cute expressions...
Magical Madoka
Just as I intended.
How are you doing?
Is the editing going well?
Yes!
Though, it's still only partly done.
Let me see.
This is great!
That's a splendid reproduction!
Amazing! Amazing!
Thank you very much.
But is it really all right to do this?
Hm? What do you mean?
I mean, it's a total rip-off of Rental Madoka, isn't it?!
You're still saying that?!
It's exactly the same! Exactly the same!
Non, non, non.
It's an homage, to show respect!
R-E-S-P-E-C-T.
Uh-huh!
Yeah, right...
Well, at this point, it's gone way beyond being an homage.
But that's also our main goal...
Are you sure you can make a big enough commotion to get production canceled?
Don't worry.
We're ripping off a bunch of major shows on top of Rental Madoka,
so it's guaranteed to rile them up and get the movie shelved.
Still, this certainly is the artistry
I'd expect of the SDF that showed so much talent at the snow festival!
I'd hope so.
Just one of those costs the same as my yearly salary.
Oh!
You're early, Shinichi!
Yeah, we're creating a full-scale dragon, after all.
Minori-san and the others have been setting up since before dawn.
Special effects movies sure are a lot of work.
So first, the dragon is going to come out of that valley,
and pretend he's attacking you.
Though, for the actual filming, it'll be a remote-control dragon we made.
I see... I'm not sure I get it, but it sounds fun!
Okay, when I give the signal, make it fly towards her.
When I say "Beam!", open its mouth.
Don't worry, we've run the simulations perfectly.
I'm forgiving your crime of peeping on me for this, so you'd better do it right, okay?
All right, then let's start filming!
Oh, Koganuma-kun, your arms...
Huh?!
Oh, jeez!
Good morning.
Hm? Hello, Luna-kun.
Please be careful.
There's a dragon's nest in this area.
What?!
Make sure not to use any antiperspirant spray.
All right.
Ready on standby!
This is the last scene of the final battle. And here we go!
Momentum is crucial in this scene,
so even if you flub your lines a little, we'll keep shooting until the end!
Got it!
Mic!
Okay!
Camera!
Rolling!
We're filming!
Ready, go!
Magical Madoka
Dragon!
Hey! What happened to our dragon?!
Oh, wow!
It even kicked up a dust cloud we didn't plan!
Good! Good!
Huh?!
No way...
E-Emergency!
Emergency!
A real one... showed up!
Wh-Why is the dragon...
Calm down, Luna. The answer must be nearby...
Luna, are you all right?
Oh, yes.
Thank goodness.
You're the cause?!
Wow! What impact!
I can't believe that's a fake!
That's incredible, Shinichi!
No, Petralka!
That's a real one!
Ow!
Now, dragon-tamer!
Yes! Using Level 3...
What?!
In that case, Level 5—
Filming is canceled!
Form up, Imperial Guards!
Yes, sir!
Commander!
Yes, I understand!
Is something else happening now?!
That's...
Target: Dragon, 12 o'clock!
No! Run!
Fire!
Wow!
Th-They stopped the dragon...
How fun!
This special effects stuff is amazing!
Well, we managed to finish shooting somehow.
Yes.
What'd you think?
It was very refreshing!
I don't think I've ever felt this way before.
I see.
I must thank you.
Huh?
I'll never forget this dream you showed me.
It was a wonderful present.
I'm glad to hear that.
Let me thank you. Stand there.
Huh?
What?
P-Petralka?
It's just to show my gratitude.
There's no other meaning behind it.
Now then, I'm returning to the castle.
My official duties are waiting for me.
P-Petralka...
You should come for an audience more often.
Several days later, we all learned a terrifying truth.
While we were filming, our excitement
had made everything we saw or heard seem better than it was...
Puella Magi Magical Madoka the Movie
How about coming to my place?
I'm poor, there's not much room, and I don't really have anything,
but the three of you can stay together.
Onii...
Not bad.
You think?
Thanks.
What is it, Chapel?
Another demon?
Yes, yes.
Galius didn't do badly, either.
Thank you.
But on the other hand, Myucel...
Yes, no, yes...
I wish she'd make it clear whether she meant yes or no.
Your scene is next, Your Imperial Majesty.
I know.
Let's watch...
I won't allow you to hurt my precious friends anybore!
Ah, I messed up!
Um... anymore!
Wh-Who's voice is this?!
I don't sound like that!
I believe that's undoubtedly your voice, Your Imperial Majesty.
N-No way!
You sound cute.
The innocence is breathtaking.
Y-You think?
Well, if you say so...
All right, Peace-chan, can I count on you?
Abeshi!
It's cold! It's too cold!
No more!
Stop the screening at once!
That's an order!
No, I beg you!
Please stop this now!
Stop it! That makes this even more embarrassing!
Please!
Huh?
The morning sun is so bright... Magical Madopu!
Aha, I messed up!
Tee-hee, ka-thunk!
Seal this away at once!
Erase it from history!
I demand it! No objections!
That's an Imperial order!
What are you doing?!
The screening was promptly canceled.
Hurry! Hurry up and stop this!
But, well, after leaking a few clips of that footage to Japan,
Don't watch!
we convinced the public we were advertising a special effects movie,
Get it off the screen!
and that it got shelved in the end for infringing on too many properties.
Don't watch! Please don't watch!
Please! Please stop this now! Please!
So all's well that ends well.
Ah... Why did I do such a thing in front of Master?
You mean trying to show him your naked body?
Please don't say it!
Next Episode: Plot Silent, Plot Deep
It's so embarrassing, I cry when I remember it!
You still have it better.
Compared to me... compared to me...
You mean the "Tee-hee, ka-thunk"?
Stop it!
Forget that topic completely!
Just talk about the next episode or something to kill time!
My pardon, Your Imperial Majesty,
but that's what this corner is supposed to be about anyway.
I don't care!
So what happens next time?!
Next time, a change of events—
Ah, we're out of time again!
