Magilumiere Magical Girls Inc. (2024) s01e11 Episode Script

1
Sakuragi, I want you to be the teacher.
M Me? Really?!
Yes. On-site judgment
and leadership are your strengths.
Can you do this for me?
Alright, I'll do my best!
Thanks.
So, Boss
Which company is coming next week?
It's Apda Co. Ltd.
Magilumiere, huh?
They must be a dazzling company.
This temporary transfer
is a great opportunity for us.
If you can learn their system,
we'll get beefed up big-time.
Of course. Leave it to me.
I'm a Magical Girl who meets demands.
-Here we are.
-Huh?
This rundown old place?
EPISODE 11 : THE DAZZLING AKANE
The name's Hitomi.
Hitomi Koshigaya.
We won't be hanging much,
but I got more spirit than anyone!
Nice to meet ya.
I'm Midorikawa from Sales.
Oh, I happened to pick this up
a few days ago.
Please accept it as a token of friendship.
I'm uh eng
Um, hehe
That's Mr. Nikoyama, our engineer.
And I'm Sakuragi. I'll be your guide.
We look forward to having you.
I'm Shigemoto, the president.
Thank you for your interest
in adopting our system.
Makino, introduce yourself.
Allow me to apologize!
The initial shock left me speechless.
I get that a lot.
My name is Akane Makino
from Apda Co. Ltd.
I heard about you from Kashinomi
and watched that viral video.
Your company looks
even more unique in person!
Just flooded with originality.
And Mr. President,
your fashion is unique as well.
Tell me, why do you wear that?
She cut the small talk
and dove straight into Boss Man's getup!
She ain't no ordinary gal!
Her face is so serious, too
-Hang on, Makino
-Oh!
Are you perhaps considering
manufacturing Magical Girl outfits?
This chick is nuts.
No, that's not the case.
These clothes represent
my own personal resolution.
Resolution Can you clarify?
Ah!
Excuse me,
are you heading back to
your office, Mr. Kashinomi?
Before you go,
would you like to browse our office?
Wow, you mean it?
Ah, lunchtime already?
Although slightly early, Sakuragi,
why don't you take Ms. Makino to lunch?
As her teacher,
you should get to know each other!
O Okay.
During this training, I want to learn
everything about your company!
I did tons of research
to prepare for this.
All right here!
A notebook?
You've always had this
fascinating technology,
and now it's suddenly on sale
out of nowhere?
I'm lucky I get to see it firsthand!
Hehe, thank you for your kind words
I must know, Sakuragi
What's it like to work for a company
built by such a brilliant engineer?
Huh? Brilliant engineer?
Oh?
President Shigemoto was originally
an engineering specialist, correct?
I suspected this system
to combat mutations
stemmed from his experience
surviving that incident 15 years ago.
The incident 15 years ago?
You mean
Yes, the Kaii Calamity.
The S-Class Kaii that wreaked havoc
in a certain prefecture.
There were many casualties
among Magical Girls and civilians alike.
Afterwards, private Magical Girl
businesses boomed significantly,
but a Kaii of that scale
has yet to resurface.
Some say it was a massive mutant,
or a combination of unfavorable factors
caused by man.
But we still don't have clear answers.
Everyone is starting to forget about it.
But the generation
who fought on the battlefield
must have their own take on things.
Anyway, I'm excited to
join you on the field tomorrow.
I hope we get a big extermination.
Something to remember
when I look back on my career!
Ms. Sakuragi,
please teach me everything you know!
O Okay.
"Tons of options at nearby café"
"Try that smoothie next time" okay.
That's enough for now.
Everything was so fascinating.
The president looked
oddly amazing in that dress,
and Ms. Sakuragi was so sweet,
although still a rookie instructor.
Hands-on practice starts tomorrow.
My fourth year as a Magical Girl.
Clearly, rookie mistakes are unacceptable.
Every choice I make will affect my future.
A temporary transfer
for new tech training?
Yes, to learn technology
we plan to implement here.
We're looking for someone
to get ahead of the game
and bring us skills
our company will eventually need
But nobody wants to volunteer, so
Makino, are you interested?
Sure, I'd love to!
I'll be fine. I can do this.
Look out, everyone!
I'm coming to steal your know-how!
Before your hands-on training,
I'd like to explain our approach.
An operation method we call
the "Alice System."
Alice?
The name of the system we're selling.
Giving it a name makes it easier.
A major characteristic of our Alice System
is the support structure.
You can talk with
the engineers during work
and generate new spells in real time.
We're the only company
operating with this style.
Only us?
Oh, I guess that's news to you.
Believe it or not,
Magical Girls usually work alone.
They only use magic
programmed in their wands.
We're the only ones making spells on-site.
Talking to engineers
is a new concept to me.
What do you discuss?
Well, let's see
I describe the situation on the field
and provide details
for the spells I want to create.
That includes the Magic Circle size,
deployment location,
desired effects, power values,
related spells, Kaii class
Really? All of that?
Nah, you don't gotta
be that complicated at first.
Just ask for a "bang!"
Then a "pow!" Y'know?
B Bang?
Niko.
Gimme a "bang," and a "pop,"
then a "thud" spell.
A bulk blast with 50-centimeter radius,
Small Magic Circle
with high-speed chaser
Then, a one-shot large-scale
water-resistant spell Got it.
See? He gets it.
Until now, I've only chosen from
preset magic programmed into my wand
to match the target before me.
But this company develops new spells
whenever they deem it necessary
Fascinating!
Your Alice System is wildly fascinating.
I'm eager to try it!
Oh, really? I'm glad to hear that.
What did you order, Ms. Makino?
The "Meatie Smoothie."
M Meat?
Gross!
Ms. Makino are you okay?
Totally fine. I'll drink it.
One must take responsibility
for every decision made.
Every decision is a chance
to boost one's career!
She's something else
Radiating with enthusiasm,
even with that disgusting smoothie.
Responsibility for decisions, huh?
I'm ready to get started!
And now, the transformation
of Apda Co. Ltd.'s Akane Makino!
Closet, open!
Sunny mode!
Dress, on!
Pride and hope become my strength!
Apda's very own
dazzling Akane Makino!
Magical Girls can't go wrong
with vibrant colors!
Wow, so cool!
Cool stuff, Akane.
Your style is so classic and timeless!
I'm tearing up!
I can tell your engineer truly believes
in the Magical Girl dream!
Nothing generic about that.
It was new and fresh.
Strong likability factor, too.
-All righty, our turn.
-Okay!
Transformation complete!
So different from your president's look
How come?
Good question
Today's location is an old property
undergoing redevelopment.
A Kaii was discovered
during demolition work.
It might've been there for months.
It's reported to be a variant
occurring in dilapidated street lights
It's been a while since it emerged,
and it might have mutated, so be careful.
We'll send all three of you.
Ms. Makino, please partner with Sakuragi.
It's a huge area,
so Koshigaya will take the other half.
Got it.
I'm eagerly awaiting your guidance
and instruction, Ms. Sakuragi.
R Right!
Kana.
Let's depart!
The Alice System
it'll be mine in no time!
I'm not shadowing Ms. Koshigaya today.
I need to hold my own!
Let's finish quick. I'm craving ramen.
It's nesting in the lights.
Every single one here.
Mmkay, Professor Kana
-Educate our little Akane.
-Okay!
Well, at our company,
we must always communicate
after grasping the on-site status.
Then, we propose extermination methods.
Give an unbiased and objective report
Sakuragi sounds like a real teacher!
She really does.
Like a lion cub
teaching its siblings how to hunt
In this case, for example,
Kaii were discovered
in several street lights.
Destroying them makes it pitch-black,
posing a safety threat.
We want to save the street lights
and exterminate them all simultaneously.
Theoretically, we could respond by using
Spherical, Semi-Reinforced,
or Single Magic Circles
Did you just come up with that
on the spot?
Oh no, it's not a big deal.
I'm only brainstorming.
Even so, all those spells
require difficult output adjustment
No prob, we gotcha covered!
Have no fear, our Malice System is here!
It's "Alice," Ms. Koshigaya
In times like these, we call Niko!
How many street lights we got?
I thought you might ask.
In total, 32 street lights.
Two before each building
and four at the property's entrance.
And this is how we contact
the engineer from the field.
Let's get 'er done!
I'll take half of those 32 lights.
Kana, Akane,
I need you to handle the rest!
Can you do a spell to protect the lights?
The Spherical Magic Circle
may be ideal here, but
it'll take some time to create.
In that case, we could
deploy standard magic in layers.
We can copy and paste the Magic Circles!
Good idea!
That'll cut development costs, too!
Whoa, you lost me!
But let's go with that!
Understood!
I'll send the spell to you soon.
I estimate it'll arrive in five minutes!
I'll take buildings 1 through 7.
Y'all should take 8 through 14!
-Roger!
-Roger!
Magic transmission complete!
Tested and ready to go!
Got it. Here we go!
Template 5 : layered deployment!
Hot 'n ready to eat!
Ms. Makino, the floor is yours.
Roger!
Template 5 : layered deployment!
Compression
Format : Wit!
Let's move to the next!
All 32 street lights
Compression complete!
-Piece of cake!
-You've done it again!
That was insanely fast.
This is how fast
a team of three can operate?
Their system is powerful
Ms. Sakuragi's just a new grad,
but she's brilliant.
Could I have done more to help?
Huh?
What's up, Niko?
There's still a weak Kaii signal
in the area for some reason.
You didn't omit any street lights.
The Kaii signal should be gone
Maybe they moved somewhere.
Look around a bit more.
Roger.
For now, let's retrace our steps.
Same as before,
I'll take the first seven buildings.
You two, search the rest.
-Roger.
-Roger that.
I'll work hard, too.
G Great.
Kana.
Yes?
Watch Akane like a hawk.
Okay.
I'll start at building 8
and make my way to 13.
You want me to start at 14, right?
Roger that.
But try to stay close to me!
And if anything happens, call
Call and report, right?
I've got this. Leave it to me!
Well?
Can you identify the Kaii's location?
Not quite. It's a weak signal
It's the same type
as the Kaii in the street lights
Electric-Type, right?
Not so fast.
There's no data to confirm that judgment.
Trust those three.
The sunlight is fading.
We need to finish this quickly.
It's pointless to search aimlessly.
If it's nesting,
it should be an Electric-Type.
If I focus on searching
areas likely to attract Kaii
Oh, the light fixtures!
Ms. Sakuragi, I'm going to
Bad connection?
It's probably because of the Kaii.
Regardless
The show must go on, Akane!
We didn't miss any lights.
No post-compression stragglers, either.
That weak signal wouldn't
be from underground, right?
The bushes?
Nah, something's fishy.
Hey, Kana! Akane!
Um, yes?!
Where are you?
Is Akane with you?
Um, well
I'm behind the tenth building.
Akane! Answer me!
This place is gonna blow, Kana.
Find Akane
and get away from the buildings!
What do you mean?
It was a Blaze-Type Kaii
that squeezes into tiny gaps!
Those guys we just creamed
were just its little kids!
If this one mutates,
it'll spread like wildfire!
Securing Akane's safety is top priority!
I'm so sorry, I
She said she'd be fine,
and I believed her
Listen, Kana.
You gotta watch closely
and judge what's "fine" for her.
You're her teacher. That's your job!
Your "OK" and her "OK" are not the same!
But hey.
I trust your judgment.
You can handle anything.
You can fix this.
You'll be fine!
That's right
She's been watching me this whole time.
Ms. Makino!
Huh? Ms. Sakuragi?
Did something happen?
Assuming an Electric-Type Kaii,
I came to check these light fixtures.
Emergency code : BB-441.
Auto-Drive Rescue Mode!
The abandoned building's windows?
The Kaii isn't an Electric-Type.
It's a Blaze-Type.
Blaze
I I apologize!
I was so utterly wrong!
I'm sorry too, Ms. Makino.
Our communication style is new for you.
I should have considered that
when giving you instructions.
We can reflect on this later.
Right now, let's focus on extermination.
It's already started
I'm gonna need more time!
Pin it down somehow!
Roger!
Summoning Template 6!
Fully deploy on the front windows!
This makeshift Magic Circle is weak
-Ms. Makino!
-Y Yes?
I want to adjust Magic Circle output.
Could you check the fire status
and report to Mr. Nikoyama?
Me?
I know you can learn a skill
and make it your own.
Give him a blunt, objective report.
Leave it to me.
I have a report.
The fires are more vigorous
on the higher floors.
Significant damage
to the third floor windows.
Flames spouting from broken windows
pushing against the Magic Circles.
Roger.
I'll adjust all Magic Circle output
to a level fit for the third floor.
Assuming no window glass
Raising output by 30%
It's done! Sending now!
Template 8 : deploy multiplex!
I'll assist!
Ms. Makino.
Okay, here's our chance
It's a
Mutation
