## Summary

One autumn morning in Kyoto, Amaterasu Nadeshiko, a wealthy maiden, wakes her daughter up for school. She finds a book about magical girls on the floor and tells Starii that she should have outgrown that stuff. As Starii hides the book, Amaterasu tells her to get ready for school. Starii proceeds to do so and soon, she comes downstairs to see her two sisters all packed up and ready. Touko drops Miyumi off at Momonobara Junior High School. Starii finished her toast in Touko's car and they both walk into Yumenopara Private Academy.

Starii crosses the road but before reaching the gate, she passes a girl named Jade on the street, who mocks Starii. Starii and Touko then continue their way into the school. Starii observes her crush from a picnic table outside. Starii leaves to prepare for class. The girls arrive inside the school and walk into a tutor math class. In class, Starii sits down, opens her notebook, and starts writing down various notes as her class comes and goes. She looks off into the desk of her crush as her sister Touko taps on her shoulder. Touko asks Starii about her obsession with magical girls, as the notebook on the right side is filled with stickers of magical girls and wands. Starii quickly hides the notebook and continues to watch her crush. Starii then asks to use the bathroom and runs off.

She arrives at the bathroom to hear distant yelling and explosions. Starii suddenly panics and hides in a stall. She breathes and finds Suko sitting under the toilet, proceeds to scream, and attempts to run out. Suko quiets her down and shouts that there is no time to panic and she needs to follow him now. Starii, visibly startled and frightened reluctantly follows Suko into the baseball field. Suko shows Starii a magical girl, Picorin Momoiro, fighting various youkai. Starii starts to scream, leading the youkai to Starii's position. She starts to run again, with Suko, the youkai, and Picorin behind her. She hides inside a shack and hears yelling from outside, which was Picorin using Tsuka-Pi-Lovely Beam. Picorin knocks down the door and takes Starii's hand and tells her not to let go. Picorin used Tsuka-Pi-Shiny Heart, lunging her into the air with Starii and knocking the youkai back, and pulled out her cutlass killing off the youkai. Once they land, Starii collapses on the ground, unconscious.

Starii awakens in Picorin's living room and starts panicking again. Picorin calms her down and starts explaining to her as to why Picorin had been fighting the youkai. Picorin fights the youkai on Earth because they've been brought there and how Geokatsu~ko, her homeworld is a different world where magical wizards, fairies, taikos, and witches protect it from youkai, who spread despair and curses. Starii does not believe anything Picorin has said and attempted to call the police until Picorin calmed her down with hot cocoa. Picorin promised to protect Starii if in case the youkai start wanting to go after her.

At night, more youkai spawn and start searching for magical girls, spreading curses and despair along the way. Picorin enters Starii's house and looks around as Starii tells her parents that she brought a friend over. Picorin starts explaining that if she's been found by youkai, she could be in possible danger of getting hunted and killed by them. Picorin tells her not to worry, as she could be saved by either simply escaping, or becoming a magical girl herself. But she tells her that first, she must train by attending a magic school in Geokatsu~ko.

The youkai are on the hunt for magical girls, and they soon find the tracks of Starii and Picorin. They run past the school, the park, various roads, and finally near the Hoshiiko residence. They suddenly lose track of the two, as Picorin has transported the girls to Geokatsu~ko. Picorin shows Starii what the school looks but Starii is still unsure about how she wants to handle this situation, worrying about her high school in Kyoto.

The youkai appear near the house and Suko goes to warn Starii but couldn't get in the room, as the door was locked. The youkai manage to break in and attack Starii, destroying the house. Picorin transforms into her majo form and flies into battle, attacking the youkai. As Picorin attacks the lingering youkai, Starii manages to lure some out of the house. Picorin then blasts a larger youkai outside through the door and then crashes through the window, landing outside. Soon another magical girl comes by and impales the youkai with her spear. She soon jumps back into the sky and disappears. Starii looks up, startled at what she just saw and faints again.

She wakes up in her bed that morning, wondering what had happened. She checks the time, which is shown to be about 5:42 in the morning. She looks behind the clock to see a slip. She opens up the slip and printed on it is a drawing of a mysterious decorated compact. She turns the slip around to see the words, "basement. don't forget min-chan!" She runs outside to her hall and sneaks into the attic. She creeps across the attic until she's on the other side. She starts rummaging through various boxes, scattering garbage, and scraps of paper across the floor. She finally grasps onto something as soon as Amaterasu steps in the basement. Starii quickly hides the old phone in her skirt pocket and waves at her mom. She quickly leaves the basement and speed-walks down to the kitchen. She grabs her current phone and calls Picorin. Starii brings up the subject of becoming a magical girl again, and Picorin sends Suko over to Starii. Starii asks Suko about the portal to Geokatsu~ko, and Suko tells her to just run into a mirror holding the Miracle Stick attached to the back of her compact. She pulls out the stick and ran inside her mother's bathroom mirror.
