Momo?
It seems... I really was your mortal enemy this whole time.
I'm going home now.
Momo!
Momo...
Dad was sealed away...
I'm sorry that I never told you.
Because you're so frail, I was afraid that burdening you with all this
might cause you to work yourself ragged and eventually fall apart.
Now that you've awakened your Demon powers, you need to become strong
in order to protect yourself if you want to pave a path into the future.
But it was terribly insincere of me to pressure you to do your best, without telling you the whole truth.
You tried hard to protect me even though I had been lying to you.
I now realize that I wasn't putting my utmost faith in you.
Mom...
Anyway, starting from today this will now be known as the "Daddy Box!"
Uh, I think I'm going to need a little more time to process this revelation.
We can finally make some offerings to him as a family!
MIKAN
The Daddy Box is built tough and any stains get automatically purified,
so let's continue to use it as a stool and table just like always.
Are you sure that's okay?!
Your father was the type that put things to use in any way he could.
Everything okay! Bring it on!
BRING IT ON!
Now then, I have some more things about your father that I want to tell you.
Listen closely, Yuko.
Okay.
Do you remember anything about your father?
Not much.
That makes sense. You were almost always sleeping back when he was around.
But I do remember that he used to pat me on the head sometimes.
Your father had quite the pair of horns on his head.
So this is what he looked like back in the day.
He's so much shorter than mom!
I must have inherited my short stature from him!
I probably won't get any taller, even if I undo the seal!
Are you okay, Yuko?
Doesn't dad seem pretty young here? He looks around the same age I am!
Your father has always had an incredibly youthful complexion.
I'll give this back now!
By the way, I've pretty much stopped aging ever since I became his vassal.
"Vassal"?
A vassal is someone that has forged a bond with another through a contract...
Wait a second. Maybe it's better to say that it's a type of blood relation via magic.
VASSAL
A SUBSERVIENT MEMBER OF A CLAN OR FAMILY.
ORIGINALLY USED TO REFER TO EMISSARIES OF GOD.
IT CAN MEAN: RELATIVES, KINSFOLK,
FOLLOWERS, SERVANTS, OR ANY SORT
OF DEPENDENT RELATIONSHIP.
Overload...
OVERLOAD
Are you all right, Yuko?
Um, I'm still in a state of shock to be honest.
So much... so much... so much...
Ever since I grew these horns, there's just been so much going on.
Scuttle, scuttle, scuttle, scuttle.
I think I've gotten accustomed to dealing with surprises, lately.
Yuko! You've really started to take after your father!
Bring it on...
BRING
IT
ON
And really...
I'm relieved that dad hasn't died or anything.
And now I know that I'm in good health thanks to the help of many different people.
I...
I think I've finally figured out a reason to fight.
Mom, I'm going to chase after Momo.
I don't want her to fret over all this on her own.
Momo has been my mortal enemy ever since the moment I first laid eyes on her.
I'll chase her to the ends of the Earth until I can finally claim victory over her!
You're going to regret all that time you spent helping me build up stamina, Momo!
Now I'm going to have my revenge for the tire and all that other stuff you did!
"Tire and other stuff"?
Mom.
Yes?
Please share some more stories about dad with me later.
I'm headed out!
Sure.
Yuko, I imagine you probably don't remember this...
...but there's something that your father used to say to you.
She's already gone.
I'll just have to tell her some other time.

Feelings to Convey!!
A New Leap Forward for Demonkind!!
The Demon Girl and the Magical Girl share a surprising intertwined fate.
Shamiko, now is the time for you to chase after that Magical Girl!
Where exactly did Momo disappear to?
Maybe I should start by checking out her house.
Shamiko.... Hey Shamiko...
Dog
MUNCH
A-Ancestor!
MUNCH
Ancestor...
It's my fault that you got all messed up like this! Did you lose some weight?
PAT
Shamiko, that's a dog toy you're holding. I'm over here!
PAT
SUPER MOVE! MAGICAL GIRL HURL!
After being flung away by the Magical Girl in the last episode, the ancestor has been rescued.
Good work, Shamiko!
Your father was connected to the currently missing Sakura Chiyoda...
...and the barrier that surrounds this city. I see.
Did you know about what happened to my father, Ancestor?
Actually, I don't really know anything about your father or his history.
I was really curious and tried to bring it up with you more than once,
but every time I was unable to get through Seiko's guard.
Ancestor... if you run your mouth too much and cause Shamiko to fall sick or get depressed,
I'll send you to a temple that performs funerals for old toys!
Funerals for old toys?!
Authentic
Japanese Shochu
Glug
If you play your cards right, I'll prepare a small reservoir of sake for you to partake in every day.
Sake is so tasty...
I just... I couldn't... Sob, sob.
Don't cry, Ancestor!
Right now, I need to focus on cornering Momo.
From what I understood, Ms. Sakura Chiyoda is the person I owe for making me healthy again.
But... I get the feeling Momo didn't see things that way.
I think that if I just left her alone, Momo would disappear and I'd never see her again.
Shamiko?
That's why I'm going to return the favor by dragging Momo back and then helping her search for Ms. Sakura.
But...
TREMBLE
Even if I do manage to grab hold of her, I couldn't stop her from turning the tables on me...
Worst case scenario, she flings me as high as the heavens.
Are you telling me you charged out here with no plan at all?!
I think Momo probably got close to me to try and get some info about her sister.
But unfortunately, the one lead she finally found wasn't able to provide any answers.
She must be really depressed about having been sent back to square one.
I don't think she'll be willing to work together with me anymore.
Think about it this way, Shamiko. If Momo is feeling down right now, then it's a chance we can't pass up!
You're my descendant and you have the ability to get into people's hearts and freely manipulate them.
In theory, anyway.
"Theory"?
It's simple... all you need to do is seduce Momo Chiyoda!
"Seduce"?!
She's not here, either.
No pink heads that I can see.
Oh? If it isn't Shamiko.
Oh! Hello Mikan. You don't look too good.
You should take a dose of vitamin C!
MYSTERIOUS
Actually, what good timing.
Come on! Just eat this! It's a citrus fruit that I just bought!
Can you tell me the places that Momo might go to?
Huh? What for?
I'm looking for Momo and I have to find her as quickly as possible.
You're looking for her?
Is that true?
Ms. Sakura disappeared?
Huh? Didn't you know, Mikan?
Th-th-th-this is the first I'm hearing about it!
Uh, Mikan please keep your cool!
Why did Momo hide it all from me?
Mikan... stay in control...!
Why didn't she just tell me?
Crisis Management!
Mikan...
98 cents
(98 yen)
I owe Ms. Sakura a lot, too.
Why won't Momo rely on me? I thought we were friends.
Hey, Mikan.
Shamiko?
As another of Momo's friends-
I mean mortal enemy, I'm equally frustrated that she's choosing to run away.
Oh no, did my curse hit you again? I'm sorry.
Huh? 98 cents?
Please tell me what you know about Momo!
I have to find her no matter what!
Shamiko...
If it's true that Ms. Sakura vanished over 10 years ago,
that would have been after she left Momo in a different city.
Even if Momo wanted to look for her, she wouldn't have any leads to go off of.
Assuming there is a Demon in the city old enough to remember exactly what happened,
it doesn't matter since the barrier here prevents Magical Girls from encountering Demons.
Yeah, Momo mentioned that to me.
Huh?
But on the day that I became a Demon Girl, I encountered Momo right away.
She stopped it with one hand?
Yeah, about that...
...you mentioned earlier that Metako said he could sense Sakura Chiyoda's presence in you, right?
Right.
Like I said, it's usually impossible for any Demon and any Magical Girl to cross paths in this city.
Right.
That's why I think your meeting with Momo must have been some kind of fated event.
A mysterious power might have been at work behind the scenes somehow.
"Fated event"...
Well, that's just a guess. It might actually be a simple coincidence.
It's true that the barrier on our house had grown weaker.
I wonder if that was also due to the hand of fate?
Shamiko.
I can think of one place that Momo might have gone to.
But you should go by yourself to look for her there.
Huh? Why is that?
Well, I mean, if I overhear your conversation then it might make me lose control of all my nerves!
Okay, I get it! You're already starting to lose it!
Tama River
But I want to hear all the details from you afterwards!
Okay, sure!
Shamiko, save me! I'm going to go flying!
I finally found you, Magical Girl!
I'm impressed you knew to come here.
Mikan was kind enough to tell me. She said that you and your sister liked this spot.
Momo, were you hiding the disappearance of your sister from Mikan?
Yes. Mikan was one of my sister's disciples, and I thought she might not take it well.
That's an understatement.
Thanks to you, I ended up having to endure a very cursed shower.
GRUMBLE
It totally ruined my clothes.
That explains why you chose to come in your battle form.
Just look at what happened to me!
Anyways, why did you come find me?
You know that my sister was the one who sealed your father away, right?
What reason could you have to be friendly with me now?
Momo, you're my mortal enemy.
Even if we're not friendly, that's more than enough reason for me to stick close to you.
What's that mean?
I came here because I want to strike a deal with you.
Momo... will you consider quitting being a Magical Girl?
Please make a contract with me and become my vassal!
What are you talking about?
You want to search for Ms. Sakura, right?
But you can't really do anything because the barrier here obstructs all Magical Girls.
Then the solution is simple: you just have to quit being a Magical Girl!
Quit? But I can't just...
Actually, you can!
If a Magical Girl overwrites their contract by forging one with a Demon,
their magic attribute will become darkness and they will stray from the path of light,
thereby officially making them a vassal of darkness.
I dub this the: "Momo Chiyoda Gets Enticed by the Allure of Darkness Project!"
Uh oh, sorry about that Ancestor.
So dwizzy...
Ugh... ugh... uuugh...
I finally found a reason to fight.
And that's why I need you to stick around, Momo.
To be honest...
...I think your personality is more suited to being a Demon Girl than a Magical Girl.
I mean, if nobody watches out for you then your diet just goes straight to Hell!
And you're really good at coming up with evil ways to use special powers!
You even exude a way darker aura than I do most of the time!
You're not pulling any punches...
I don't think that white and pink theme you have going on actually fits the color of your personality.
If you fall to the darkness, we'll redesign your battle form with a simple black as the base!
We can even make your weapon like a dark katana or something.
You're even dragging complaints about my battle form into this?
Agreeing to become my vassal is a pretty good deal, you know.
I'll help consider the solutions to whatever tough problems you face.
And I'll also join you in doing the things that you don't like to do.
Right now, it seems to me that you're struggling all by yourself.
It makes me worry about you.
But your mother had to raise 2 daughters on her own for 10 years...
...and on top of that, she had to lie to you about it the whole time.
No matter what I do, I can't return those 10 years to your family.
That's why even if you want to strike a deal, I...
So you're just going to give up and run away because you can't give everything back to us 100%?
I refuse to give up on anything: My father, undoing the seal, or being with you.
I'm going to find another Demon who lives in this city,
and hopefully through them, get a lead to find Ms. Sakura, because I owe her so much.
I'll get stronger, become even more capable, and then get back everything that I possibly can!
I'm going to become a true Demon and live greedily!
But I don't think that I can fight through all the challenges on my own.
And since we share the same goals, I would really like you to fight by my side.
Magical Girl, Momo Chiyoda.
It's time for you to put an end to fighting a solitary war!
Embrace your weakness, give in to utter depravity, and stray from the path of light.
Then let yourself fall into darkness!
Become my...
Become a subordinate of Shadow Mistress Yuko!
There's a lot of benefits if you agree to become my vassal!
Three meals and one nap a day! And if you agree to it now, I'll do all garbage removal and dish washing!
Hey Shamiko, you're making a serious commitment that you can't back out of with all those bonuses!
Gah!
Avoid the effects of the barrier by becoming a Demon, huh?
Are you the one who came up with this plan, Ms. Lilith?
Not at all.
I did advise Shamiko that it was possible for you to fall into darkness,
but the rest of it was all Shamiko's idea that she put into her own words.
By the way, I personally guarantee you won't suffer any personality changes by falling into darkness.
I see. So Shamiko said all that herself, huh?
I'm really glad.
If this was all just happening according to Ms. Lilith's script, I would have flung her into space.
Why?! Am I crazy or are you extra harsh on me all the time?!
Shamiko.
Sigh...
Yes?
I don't need any bonuses like three meals and one nap a day.
Do you promise that you won't suddenly disappear on me?
Yes.
Regardless of whatever I do from now on, or whatever I've done in the past,
will you continue to stay by my side?
I swear on the box of my father.
That's great.
Pause...
No, wait a second.
Something is off here.
Nothing this happy could ever possibly befall me.
Huh? This isn't going as planned!
Thinking about it, Ms. Lilith...
...if I go along with this, Shamiko is going to become the magic ether that I link to
which means I'll end up really weak, right?
Gah!
Huh?
Is that true, Ancestor?
Dot, dot, dot.
Tch.
TCH...
Yeah, you'll be considerably weaker.
I knew it.
You didn't explain that on purpose, I'll bet.
Ancestor!
Hey Shamiko. Please come and find me again someday, somewhere.
Ancestooor...!
That was close, I almost totally fell for it.
Wh-whoa...
But you had a good point, I've been fighting and contemplating this all on my own for too long.
Thank you, Shamiko.
Thinking about it, even if I didn't become a Demon, you could search the city for other Demons in my place
without being affected by the barrier, right?
Huh?
And in exchange for that, I'll keep you safe and train you even harder than before.
That's a pretty good deal, don't you think?
I... I'm not so sure.
Maybe... huh?
Is it just me or does that change nothing from how things are now?
If anything, the burden being put on me seems a bit heavier.
That's not true. You're just imagining it!
If you agree to the deal now, I'll make your protein shake after training banana flavored!
But what happened to the idea of you coming over to the dark side?!
We're putting it on hold.
If I went for your deal and became weaker, it would be impossible for a lot of things to come to fruition.
Besides, something just doesn't sit right with me becoming your subordinate.
But why?!
If you want to make me your vassal, then you're going to have to beat me first.
I have high expectations, Demon Girl.
So, you're agreeing to become my vassal if I win?
Heh, heh, heh, heh...
HEH
Then I'll just dive into your dream and implant a suggestion in your head and...
That technique is banned. You have to beat me with only your fists.
That's not fair!
Well that wraps things up, so let's head back.
H-hold on! Nothing is wrapped up! Are you trying to make a break for it?!
Nope. I won't run away from you anymore, Shamiko.
I'm getting hungry, so let's go back together.
Grr... You always throw things out of whack.
Huh?
Just forget it!
Dog
Oh dear, it looks like your dinner got all messed up.
It's okay, I'll bring you a fresh bowl of seconds.
Sorry, doggie. I don't get to choose where I come down.
I didn't have the courage to go into the store with this outfit on, sorry.
That's okay. While I was in there, I bought something for us to share together.
Here.
Double popsicles? Can I really have one?
Yeah.
Let's split it 50/50.
I'll snap it in two!
Just leave it to me!
Hnnngh!
Should I do it instead?
Heh, heh, heh, I haven't gotten serious yet.
You just sit back and watch me use my true power!
Oorah!
Sorry, let me help.
SNAP
We're going back to training starting tomorrow.
Okay, Shadow Mistress?
Grr...
Don't think this means you've won!
Don't give up, Shamiko! Work to defeat your mortal enemy and one day become a great ruler of darkness!
Banda Terrace
So, everything about your father being away for business on a space battleship was a lie!
As your mother, I do feel a bit guilty about keeping the truth from you.
Yeah, I figured.
Huh?
That's the deal.
I knew that dad was in a situation where he couldn't come home for a long time.
Mom is a terrible liar.
Demon
Space battleships and giant squids. Who would believe stuff like that?
Huh?
Actually, I'm really into those hardboiled crime novels.
So, I thought that dad may have been involved in something that required prison time.
"Prison"?!
Actually, I'm relieved to know that he's a lot closer than I thought.
MIKAN
He was right under our nose the whole time.

You're such a fearless girl, Ryo.
You might take after your father Joshua in that respect, actually.
"J-Joshua"?!
Our dad had a foreign name?!
Apparently "Joshua" was a very common name in ancient Mesopotamia.
Wait, so we're half-Mesopotamian?!
Today is just full of all sorts of surprises.
CLICK
But I saw a lot of documents around here that listed our dad's name as "Taro Yoshida"!
"Taro Yoshida" was a codename that your father used while working here in the city.
"Codename"?!
We came up with "Yoshida" by changing a few letters of "Joshua."
You never considered changing more than just a few?
Mikan.
I'm sorry I never consulted with you about my sister.
Even though I knew she was a really important person to you, too.
It's fine, don't worry about it.
You were just trying to be considerate by not aggravating my curse, right?
Sometimes you seem apathetic about things, but I know you're actually quite considerate.
I suppose.
I think you should let your true self shine a little more from now on.
Keep things simple.
The time cometh.
Go on, have some fruit.
Okay.
These are sour.
That's what makes them so tasty.
After a bunch of crazy stuff happening, our first semester is finally coming to an end.
Excuse me, Shadow Mistress?
Are you doing your vacation homework already?
No.
This is a letter of challenge.
There's a Magical Girl in Class A, Momo Chiyoda, who I want to become a denizen of darkness.
So I'm going to challenge her again!
"Letter of Challenge: Dear Magical Girl Momo Chiyoda...
LETTER OF CHALLENGE:
DEAR MAGICAL GIRL MOMO CHIYODA,
TODAY WILL BE THE DAY I DEFEAT YOU AND MAKE YOU MINE.
FUWAHAHAHAHA!
A letter of challenge, huh? Well, do your best to make it really nice. ...Today will be the day I defeat you and make you mine.
Fuwahahaha."
Though speaking as your teacher, I'm afraid I couldn't give this a passing grade.
FLAP
CLATTER
Why?!
Because organizing duels is against the law.
Gah!
GAH!
Oh?
Our class is already finished for today. I came here to see what Shamiko was up to.
It looks like she's practicing how to write a letter or something.
SCRIBBLE
I think it would be better if you picked some cuter letterhead than that old paper you were using.
SCRIBBLE
Right.
You should start it with a friendly seasonal greeting and then at the end write something considerate.
SCRIBBLE
Right.
To: Momo
I finished it!
Gallantly, I demand a duel
I go at it, but I lose
It's beyond disappointing
Um, teacher, don't you think this pushes the envelope a bit too much for a letter of challenge?
Shift away from that grief
Even when I’m feeling curt
I’ll express myself with that tail
Cute!
But dear, envelopes are stationary.
There's a party in the neighborhood
Even the dogs are going bow-wow
Hey, Momo!
Each and every last one
Oh good, I'm glad you haven't gone home yet.
For all four seasons
You should read this!
When you fail just laugh it off
Huh? Why are you wearing a different color than normal?
Connecting our hearts like that time once before
Am I not allowed to change my wardrobe a little?
I think I like this more than the usual.
To: Momo
Just read it!
A letter?
With the miracle that we met in this town
Dearest Momo,
How is the heat of summer treating you?
You seemed a bit down in the dumps a few
days ago, so I'm showing some demonic concern
"Dearest Momo, how is the heat of summer treating you?"
for you.
"You seemed a bit down in the dumps a few days ago, so I'm showing some demonic concern for you."
Shamiko, does this mean you're worried about me?
Grant this wish
No! Just stop, I changed my mind!
Shoulder those tires and go full throttle
Don't read it until I'm not here!
Warning, there's still crises to manage, so enjoy
As of now we're openly cooperating with each other to help find your sister.

Okay, then let's go along!
Clench, clench, clench, clench, clench...

Connecting our hearts again like that time once before
I really don't understand.
Oh hey! It's Momochiyo!
What's up? You've got a huge smile on your face.
I'm not sure I'd call this a smile.
The wish we embraced was a miracle
I got this letter from Shamiko, but the contents are all over the place. I wasn't sure what she wanted.
But I think she wants to skip our training session and go out for fun somewhere instead.
Oh yeah? That's great!
It shines
I'm so happy for you, Chiyoda.
Transform, blooming in full glory
Jumpin' we join hands and enjoy
Sometimes withering, but still able to bud
Many ages have passed since the era of myth,
yet the Dark Clan have remained oppressed by the forces of the Light Clan through the current day.
Game set? Not yet!
Connect into tomorrow
And into the sky!
However, one rumor is spreading.
Look, far off dreams sketched all around
That a city exists under the protection of the strongest Magical Girl who has parted from tradition
and created a special place where both the Dark Clan and the Light Clan can coexist peacefully.
I'll show you
The colors dancing vividly
It lies somewhere in the far east.
Its citizens are used to all sorts of craziness, and have the ability to shake off nearly anything.
Always chasing after them
Pure Tea House

Yeah?
I imagine you probably don't remember this...
A twinkling star reaches out sharply
...but there's something that your father used to say to you.
If I could be a little stronger than I am today

I'm impressed you showed up, Momo Chiyoda!
But blow my top and face a tempest of punishment

Disappointed? I'm throwing it again, so enjoy

What the heck is up with your outfit?!
I thought I told you to wear something easy to move in!
Now its sunset, don't bother thinking too much
Just go on!
Come on, our compiled dreams can be any color
Thought they were
going out to have fun.
Thought they were
going to have a duel.
So keep on going
Don't give up, Yuko.
Become the strongest and most loving girl in the entire world.
