You can really grant any wish, right?
Rest assured, your prayer will be heard.
Are you ready?
Yeah. Do it.
Now... just accept it.
This is your destiny.

Episode 5
I will never regret this
Excuse me.
That wasn't very ladylike of me.
What's wrong, Hitomi?
Didn't get enough sleep?
Yes, I was at the hospital and had to deal with the police until late.
What? Did you get in trouble?
They said I was sleepwalking or something.
Oddly enough, there were a lot of people with the same symptoms,
and when I came to, they were all lying around me.
Huh? What's up with that?
The doctors said it was called a collective hallucination or something.
I have to go back for more tests after school today too.
What a bother...
You should've just taken the day off.
I couldn't do that! That'd make it seem like I was actually sick,
and my family would get even more worried about me.
That's our honor student!
You're so tough!
It's been a while since I've felt this good.
I feel wonderful!
Sayaka-chan, aren't you scared?
Hm? Well, yeah, I am a bit scared,
but I took care of that witch pretty easily yesterday.
When I think about how I might've lost my two best friends,
I find that a lot more scary.
So I mean, I guess I have more confidence?
Maybe I'm just at ease.
I'm just a bit proud of myself too.
I guess I'm flying high.
You can count on Magical Girl Sayaka-chan to protect Mitakihara City!
So you don't regret anything at all?
I guess if I had to name one...
It'd be the fact that I hesitated for so long.
If only I had known, I would have become a magical girl sooner.
If Mami and I had fought that witch together, she might not have died.
I...
Come on. Don't tell me you're thinking of something silly.
I... I should've...
I'm saying all of this now because I'm already a magical girl.
But I didn't know back then.
It's like I was destined to become a magical girl from the start.
Sayaka-chan...
After all, I found my wish.
Something that I wouldn't mind risking my life to fight for.
I'm just a little frustrated it took me so long to realize that.
That's why you shouldn't feel guilty.
You don't have to turn into a .magical girl if you don't want to.
Simple as that.
Yeah...
Anyway, I've gotta get going.
Huh? Do you have something to do?
You could say that.
I see. So they're not releasing you yet.
I still haven't completed the rehabilitation for my legs.
I need to be able to walk freely first.
They say the recovery of my hand is a total mystery,
so they need to look at it more thoroughly.
How are you feeling, though?
Is any other part of your body bothering you?
No. In fact, I feel so good, it's scary.
It's even starting to feel like the .accident was all just a bad dream.
It makes me wonder why .I'm in this bed to begin with.
This is a miracle, just like you told me.
What's wrong?
I said a lot of mean things to you.
Being depressed was no excuse—
Oh, don't worry about it.
Right now, you should be completely and totally happy.
So don't make a face like that.
Right.
All of this just doesn't feel real.
Well, I can't blame you for that.
I guess it's about time.
Kyousuke, let's get a breath of fresh air.
Why are we going to the roof?
You'll see.
What are you all...
We'll have a real party .when you're released,
but since your hand healed faster than your legs...
I-Is that...
You told me to get rid of it, but I just couldn't.
I...
Go on. Don't be scared.
Mami-san,
my wish came true.
I will never regret it.
This is the happiest I have ever been!
So that's the city's new magical girl, huh?
Do you really want to start a fight with her?
It just looks too easy.
I could kill someone like her in a heartbeat.
Or what?
Do you have a problem with that?
It may not be as easy as you think.
There's another magical .girl in this city, after all.
Oh? Who is it?
I don't know either, really.
Huh?
What's that supposed to mean?
She became a magical girl after making a contract with you, right?
In one sense, she did. In another, she didn't.
She's an extreme irregularity.
Even I can't predict her behavior.
Sounds fun.
It's getting too boring around here, anyway.
Gotta shake things up once in a while.
What did you want to talk about?
U-Um, about Sayaka-chan...
She's very persistent, and can be kind of stubborn.
She also has a quick temper...
But she's a really nice person!
She's kind and courageous,
and she'll go to any length to help someone.
All fatal flaws for a magical girl.
Is... Is that true?
Excessive kindness leads to weakness.
Reckless courage leads to carelessness.
There's also no reward for dedication of any kind.
You can't be a magical girl unless you understand that.
That's why Tomoe Mami lost her life.
Don't say it like that!
Sayaka-chan's saying that she'll be fine,
but when I think she might end up like Mami-san,
I just don't know what to do.
You're worried about .Miki Sayaka, aren't you?
I can't do anything for her anymore,
so I want to ask you.
Could you be friends with Sayaka-chan?
Don't fight her like .you did with Mami-san.
It should be much safer if you all fight the witches together, right?
I don't want to lie,
and I don't want to make .any promises I can't keep.
So I want you to give up on Miki Sayaka.
Why...
She shouldn't have .formed the contract.
This is partially my fault too.
I should've kept a closer .eye on her, as I did you.
So—
But now that I've taken responsibility,
I must tell you that it's a .mistake that cannot be undone.
It'd be like trying to bring someone back from the dead.
Once you become a magical girl,
there's no hope for salvation.
That contract takes away everything in exchange for a single hope.
Does that mean you've given up too?
Given up on yourself and on all the other girls?
That's right.
I won't make excuses .and say I'll try to atone.
I must continue with my struggle, with whatever sin I have to bear.
It seems I've wasted your time.
I apologize.
Are you nervous?
Kind of.
One mistake and I'm a goner.
Madoka?
Sayaka-chan, are you going to...
Yep. I'm going on patrol .to search for evil witches!
It's what a hero does.
Will you be okay by yourself?
Of course.
Mami-san did this too.
I'm her successor, right?
I can't do anything,
and I know I'll just get in the way,
but could you take me with you— at least until I become a burden?
Aren't you trying a little too hard?
I'm sorry...
I shouldn't. I knew I'd get in your way.
No, I'm really happy.
Hey, can't you tell?
My hands have been .shaking this entire time.
Pathetic, huh?
I'm a magical girl now, but I kinda feel helpless by myself.
Sayaka-chan...
You're not a burden. I'd love for you to come.
Having someone by my side would make me feel a lot better.
That alone makes me feel invincible.
I...
I swear I'll protect you.
So relax and just follow me.
Let's go get those witches together like we always have.
Okay!
You know how dangerous this is, right?
I'm stupid, so I might do something reckless if I'm by myself.
I think I'll be more careful just knowing you're by my side.
I see.
Well, so long as you have a plan, it's fine.
Kyubey...
You have a plan too. Right, Madoka?
I know how you want to protect Sayaka.
With you there, we'll have an ace up our sleeve in the worst case scenario.
I...
You don't have to say anything right now.
I'm sure Sayaka will be against it too.
But I'll be ready whenever you make up your mind.
Okay.
It's here.
This barrier was probably made by a familiar, not a witch.
The easier, the better.
I don't have a lot of experience.
You can't let your guard down.
I know.
Is that it?!
It's getting away!
Leave it to me!
Hey now, what are you two doing?
It's getting away!
Can't you tell? That's not a witch, it's a familiar.
It won't have a Grief Seed.
If you let it escape, someone's going to get killed!
You just have to wait until it eats four or five people and becomes a witch.
That way, you'll be able .to get a Grief Seed from it.
Why would you want to slaughter the chicken before it lays any eggs?
You're going to just sit back and watch the witch kill everyone?
Listen, newbie. I think you're getting this all wrong.
Have you ever heard of the food chain?
I'm sure you learned about it in school.
The witches eat the weak humans.
And we in turn eat those witches.
That's the natural order.
The weak have to .give way to the strong.
No...
You...
Oh, don't tell me.
You made a contract with him just to play out some ridiculous farce,
like pretending to be a hero and rescuing people, right?
And what if I did?!
C'mon. Give it up already.
It ticks me off when someone gets in my way to play out a joke.
Sayaka-chan!
Hmph. Stupid rookie.
Cool your head a bit.
That's weird.
That should've been enough to put you in hospital for three months.
Sayaka-chan's okay?
She became a magical girl using a wish for healing, after all.
Her ability to recover from damage is exceptional.
Who'd lose to you?
It's because people like you ..are around that Mami-san...
You're annoying.
You're so freaking annoying!
Actually, you shouldn't even be talking to me that way.
You should respect your elders.
Shut up!
This isn't the time to be jumping around, dummy!
Sayaka-chan!
Madoka, it's too dangerous!
If you're too dumb to understand words
and you don't get it when I beat you down...
I'll just have to kill you!
I won't lose...
I won't lose!
Why...
Why is this happening? ..There isn't a witch here...
Why do two people on the same side have to fight?
It's hopeless.
Neither of them intend to back down.
Please, Kyubey! Make them stop!
This shouldn't be happening!
I can't do anything.
But if you want to stop them by force...
It's not like there aren't .any options on the table.
Only another magical girl can come between their battle.
But you have the capacity to do that, if that's what you really wish.
That's right...
If I make a contract too...
It's over!
I...
There's no need for that.

Illustrated by Yuupon (nitro+)
Sayaka-chan, you became a magical girl to fight witches, right?
That girl isn't a witch. She's a magical girl like you!
This is definitely wrong.
