Magilumiere Magical Girls Inc. (2024) s01e07 Episode Script
Results vs. Aesthetic
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.
Edit Pipeline Magic, Template 2.
Range adjustment : 5 to 7!
Ms. Sakuragi!
Ms. Lily!
This doesn't look good
Is that Magical Girl okay?
She's in trouble.
Oh no. Panic is starting to set in.
The onlookers are getting scared.
What should I do?
Ms. Sakuragi.
I'm fine. This is only a scratch.
-Ms. Lily!
-Don't look like that.
Go on, smile.
Magical Girls must always wear
a beautiful smile.
How beautiful
This is where her strength comes from.
Here's our backup.
Arrival at demolition site,
unused building at Hotel Alberic.
I've received a request for support
from Miyakodo.
I am Tsuchiba, from AST Corporation.
Let's skip the formalities.
I'll get started right away.
EPISODE 7 : RESULTS VS. AESTHETIC
AST?
Our president counts AS
as one of our business partners.
They're equipped with new magic
and methods for exterminating mutations,
which is just what we need.
AST
leader of the Magical Girl industry.
I've assessed the mutation.
I'll deploy one of my company's
unreleased techniques.
You two, please follow
my company's instructions.
This spell will be powerful.
Evacuate the surrounding bystanders.
But
Roger that!
Attention!
We're going to fire a powerful spell.
Please follow me. We have to evacuate!
Powerful spell?
The girl that just flew in, by herself?
Is one Magical Girl enough for this?
They're still in a state of shock,
understandably so.
But unless we do something
Don't worry!
This situation is being handled by
Miyakodo's Magical Girl Department,
whose mission is to bring smiles
and peace of mind to all users.
On top of that,
we're being assisted by AST Corporation,
the industry leader in funded research
and in-house magic development.
For five consecutive years,
AST ranked first in customer satisfaction.
We're in good hands!
Ranked first?
I guess they can handle it.
If Miyakodo says so
Let's go. Follow me!
I actually did some research
for this joint project.
Ms. Sakuragi
even researched our department
Stating advertised facts
is the key to persuasion.
Ms. Koshigaya's "lunch ad magic"
really works!
I'm glad I studied up
on Miyakodo beforehand.

Now processing.
You'll be fine! Don't panic!
We apologize for the inconvenience!
Ms. Sakuragi.
Y Yes?
Are you worried?
Yes.
Ms. Tsuchiba wasn't it?
Is she really okay by herself?
I wonder if there's anything
I could've done to help back there.
We've been in AST's care
a number of times now.
-Huh?
-She told me to guide the evacuees.
So, I'll need to stay put for now.
Okay.
As for you, Ms. Sakuragi
Could you go and check on her
on my behalf?
Yes, ma'am! I'll go back to the site!
I'm counting on you.
Wait, Ms. Sakuragi.
Don't forget to smile, okay?
Yes ma'am!
Ms. Tsuchiba!
Let me help you!
No thanks.
I only asked you to evacuate bystanders.
I never requested help.
B But, you're hurt!
The risk of nonfatal wounds
has been factored in.
Our role is extermination,
not self-defense.
Don't be ridiculous!
It's dangerous to do this alone!
This Kaii extermination was originally
estimated to take an hour for two girls.
However, the required girl-hours
changed due to the mutation.
That's why doing it alone is too risky
The magic I'm about to deploy
was developed in-house to produce a result
eight times more powerful than
that of an average spell.
As per this calculation,
I'll be just fine on my own.
I've also been tasked with
collecting execution data,
so any outside assistance
will skew the data.
I appreciate the offer,
but please do not help.
Eight times more powerful?
Assisting her will skew the data?
Her style of work is so robotic
Or, rather
She really is a robot!
She's a Magical Girl with
100% efficiency, stability, and speed.
Every move she makes is
100% calculated to get the job done!
Barrier Magic, Template 3!
I said I don't need assistance.
I'm not attacking it.
I'm protecting you with Defensive Magic.
I mean we're supposed to fight
with beautiful smiles, right?
We're Magical Girls, after all!
You're from Magilumiere?
Yes!
Aesthetics make no profit.
Never approach work with that mindset.
Whether we laugh or cry,
results are results.
Please move.
Execute "Hatchling."
Successful neutralization of Kaii Magic.
Mutated cells eliminated.
Extracting core.
Starting containment.
Execute Compression.
Format : Wit.
This is how work is done, Magilumiere.
That Magical Girl from the other day
and now your "smile" argument?
If that "aesthetic"
fails to satisfy the client,
you're nothing more than a fraud.
Increasing opportunities like this
is what our aesthetic
is all about, Sakuragi.
As a Magical Girl myself,
I want to teach others about
the joys of our job!
I disagree with you!
How could you call us frauds?
I understand where you're coming from,
but what's wrong with
bringing aesthetics to the job?
So, you're saying aesthetics
are enough to satisfy the client?
That's not
Even if you fail to meet expectations,
aesthetics will make up for it?
I didn't mean that.
Searching for purpose in aesthetics
If that works for you, then so be it.
However, objectively, the correct result
is meeting the client's demands.
You're merely seeking self-satisfaction.
Oh, there you are!
I sincerely apologize for all this!
I'm Hotel Alberic's
General Manager Haitani.
I cannot believe this happened
Thank you for exterminating that Kaii.
It's my job.
Allow me to thank you for
safely and promptly evacuating the area
while keeping damage to a minimum.
We owe that to Miyakodo
for discovering the Kaii early.
Again, you have our deepest gratitude!
N No problem
If you'll excuse me
She seems busy.
As expected of AST.
Quick and reliable.
The correct result
is meeting the client's demands.
Did I even
do anything helpful today at all?
All I did was block a minor attack.
Next to a Magical Girl
with overwhelming efficiency
is there a need for someone like me?
Ms. Sakuragi.
Oh, Ms. Lily!
I brought towels.
Everything worked out in the end.
Thanks for your hard work!
AST sure is incredible.
I'll say
Did something happen, Ms. Sakuragi?
Well, I wasn't exactly helpful today.
I didn't really serve a purpose here.
I'm not as dependable as you are,
and when I tried helping AST,
I only got in the way.
I'm wondering whether I should start
approaching this job differently.
Ms. Sakuragi.
This is a trade secret,
but I think it's time to expose
the truth about magic.
The truth?
I wore a pink knit sweater today, right?
The truth is, I planned to wear white.
But then, this morning,
I saw a soy sauce stain on the collar
and changed plans last minute.
I had to search for a replacement,
with no time to eat breakfast or clean up.
I left my room a total mess.
Sometimes, I get lazy
and eat instant noodles for lunch.
When I get home late,
I leave my clothes everywhere.
You see, I'm not a perfect person
for everyone to admire.
However
When ordinary people
are crushed by reality,
or lose sight of their dreams
and give up on magic
I want them to find their inner beauty
and rekindle their motivation a little.
If I can encourage others
to stand taller each day
That's how my work should be done.
This is how work is done, Magilumiere.
I get it now.
It's okay
for Magical Girls to have different ideas.
With countless professionals out there,
everyone has their own aesthetics.
I'm not strong enough
to assert my own aesthetic yet.
I need to get better at my job.
I need to get stronger.
Thank you for your guidance this week.
No, the pleasure was all mine.
It'll be lonely around here without you.
Let's go out for tea sometime.
I want you to taste
that Desiree Mont Blanc.
I have even more
recommendations for you, too!
Sure, I'd love to.
Thank you for everything, Ms. Lily.
You too.
Let's work together again soon.
I expect a big smile next time we meet.
Right.
Isn't it great?
I'm in a big skyscraper now,
looking down on everything.
You deserve it. You're more than capable.
You're just as capable as I am,
aren't you?
I'm just being stubborn.
You've always been that way,
like a stubborn little kid.
I'm still a kid.
That's why I'm running a start-up.
I believe in that unrealistic dream.
Maybe there's still hope
I can catch up to you
Is that hesitation? How unlike you.
Give me a smile, Shigemoto.
Even in tough times,
business owners like us should smile!
You haven't changed.
Some things have.
You received this too, right?
Kaii mutation
The incident during
our joint project a few days ago.
Koga's employee at AS
managed to help us out, but
Things are about to happen.
Judging from data over the past few years,
the Kaii are definitely evolving.
If you wanted to have
a proper chat with Koga,
you'd better do it soon.
Excuse me.
I brought a report from our Magical Girl
who assisted Miyakodo
to exterminate
a mutated Kaii the other day.
I also have research data from Development
about the new technology she utilized.
Thanks. Took forever, huh?
I apologize.
There were many items to verify.
Ah, really?
Not bad. Data like this
may even please the higher-ups.
I'll be around for the time being.
Please let me know if anything arises.
'Kay.
Wait.
Yes?
The request for help
was from Miyakodo, was it?
Yes.
Another Magical Girl was also present
as a collaborator from a separate company.
The Kaii extermination, however,
was done by our member by herself.
Magilumiere
Pardon?
Nothing. You can go now.
"Lily's Morning Beauty Routine"!
At 6:30 : wake up.
By hydrating immediately,
I can wake up nice and refreshed.
At 7:00 : morning skin cleanse
with a hot, damp towel.
Then, I check the weather.
At 7:30,
Imake my favorite homemade smoothie and
reenergize my mind and body for the day!
At 8:30,
Iapply makeup and report to work
in the lovely outfit selected yesterday.
What sort of adventures await me today?
Just write something like that
Well, sure, that's the sort of routine
we expected for this content, but
did something else happen today?
Well, today was a little
out of the ordinary
This show's only available until tomorrow?
Oh no I have to watch it today.
It's still early.
I can finish the remaining episodes.
Huh? What's with that ending?
I don't get it!
What are other people saying?
Ahhh, the people watching live
didn't care for it either!
Wow, this review site is crazy!
Oh no, that's digging too deep
Oh nooo!
I'm late I'm late I'm late!
Sunny skies all day long.
I'll leave the umbrella.
Good. I'll go with
the outfit I picked yesterday.
Oh, my makeup! I'll do it later
Let's throw up a ponytail.
I forgot my purse!
That's what really happened
What's up, Kana?
Ms. Koshigaya, take a look at this.
It's the Ms. Lily I told you about!
My partner for that joint project.
Pretty lady, huh?
Perfect job, perfect life?
She's got it all!
Isn't she great?
