## Plot

The girls are making their way home as Matsuri admires the evening sky and the city below. She can hardly believe whats going on, and she explains the importance of collecting extra waccha and how it grants her extra-strong magic to use. Just then, her broom vanishes and the girls plummet to the ground. The girls are saved by the Headmistress, who curtly remarks on how irresponsible Myamu is being. She goes on to explain that she came to speak with Matsuri's family.

At the Hibino household, she introduces herself to Matsuri's mom and grandpa and explains how the girls competed in the PriMagi recently. Matsuri's parents had no idea, and she goes on to remark that while Matsuri isn't a professional, she did seem to be a natural, and if its okay with them she would like to allow her to continue performing. Matsuri eagerly declares that she would never turn down such an opportunity like this and her parents encourage her; although they don't actually know what PriMagi is. She quickly brings up the videos she watches so frequently while Miss Fesrida comments on the unusual family she's come to see. Myamu then goes on to invite herself into the Hibino household, as she won't have a place to stay there, much to their surprise, but they eventually agree to it. The girls step back outside to see Miss Fesrida off, and she reminds Myamu to behave herself and to avoid letting normal people see her use magic. She assures her that things will be fine, but she warns her that she will be punished if any non-PriMagi Stars see her.

Despite the threat Myamu quickly resumes using magic once in Matsuri's bedroom. She levitates a cup using her magic, but this only lastes for a few seconds, and the cup breaks. Matsuri is disappointed but she perks up fairly quick, and they are called to dinner. Myamu is delighted by how delicious everything is and Matsuri's grandpa suggests they have a special dinner for tomorrow, to celebrate Myamu joining them for now. Mrs. Hibino reminds him that he has the festival to deal with tomorrow though, and Matsuri explains it to Myamu when she expresses confusion. This festival will star Miruki as its performer, a super-adorable pastel coord user who is very popular. Matsuri fawns over her adorableness; unaware of Myamu's sudden discontent as she observes her photo on Matsuri's phone. Once dinner is done they return to the bedroom and Matsuri hands Myamu some old pajamas she used to wear. Myamu dislikes the childish feel but she decides its not worth an argument and Matsuri sets up a futon for her- until Matsuri takes her bed. Matsuri says nothing and joins her on the bed, suggesting they watch some videos until they feel tired. She begins showing Myamu some cute kitty videos that she ends up fining very amusing, but after a few minutes Myamu refuses to indulge her desire for a slumber party. She uses magic to make the lights go out- in the process shattering the light bulbs in the house and causing the Hibino's to freak out and think a ghost did it.

The following day, the girls go outside and Myamu grumpily notes her magic still isn't at its best. Matsuri attempts to encourage her but Myamu believes she is patronizing her. She goes on to suggest Matsuri try it out as she recalls the overflowing waccha from her performance; but Matsuri fails to do anything. She makes a remark, unaware of her grandpa having been watching them from back at home, and he punishes Myamu by sending lightning through a portal to zap her. Without thinking Matsuri reaches out to check on her, causing her to get shocked as well. Toma, who was walking nearby, happens to overhear them and he stops to observe Matsuri and her strange cat. He is initially shocked hearing Myamu speak, but after rubbing his eyes he looks to see she's in human form again.

At the festival Myamu can hardly believe her eyes and she looks on in admiration until Matsuri takes notice. She quickly claims that she only came to observe Miruki when Matsurida approaches, having spot the girls. The girls mistake her for the headmistress and quickly try to play it off as she goes on to bring up how she's here on PriMagi duty, she then compliments the performance they put on recently. She's not seen anything like it in a long time, and it really blew her away. Its then they hear some nearby staff, who go on to reveal Miruki can't make it to the festival after all. She was on her way there but a bull appeared in the middle of the road and now she's stuck in traffic. As Matsuri and Matsurida remorsefully acknowledge how this could effect the running of the bulls, Myamu comes up with a solution: she suggests Matsuri step onto the stage in her place so that they can collect more waccha. Matsuri is shocked, and as she takes note that everyone probably came to see Miruki, she can't imagine this going very well.

Meanwhile, the missing girl in question has shown up at the festival with a disguise. She holds her teddy bear while remarking that this festival's stage wasn't worth her time. The waccha collection was measily, and there aren't even cute guys around.

Matsuri begins to observe her gold profile card and she asks Matsurida what its used for. She explains that by inserting it into the lookbook and reciting the special words, one can open the magic gate leading to Prism Stone regardless of location. She warns the girls to take good care of it, and while Myamu is all ready to begin, Matsuri refuses on the grounds that she'll end up disappointing everyone since they didn't come to see her. Myamu reasons that nobody expected Matsuri originally, but the entire crowd loved her, so she must have confidence in herself now. This seems to work, so with everyone at the stage waiting, Matsuri uses her profile card to transform and summon her coord. She appears on the stage as everyone curiously observes the name has changed on the stage sign. At the back Miruki curiously watches to see who they got to replace her, meanwhile, Mrs. Hibino worries for her daughter while her grandpa and Toma remain confident that she will be fine. With that the performance starts, everyone cheering her own while Miruki remains unimpressed until she sees the large burst of waccha overflowing the performance hall. Matsuri gains a new piece of Ensemble from the fairy and everyone cheers for her, her mom and grandpa in awe over how well she did.

After the festival comes to an end, Matsuri happily remarks on the waccha she collected. Myamu is unimpressed considering how nervous she was originally, but she becomes flustered when Matsuri goes on to say that when she's with her, she feels unstoppable. Myamu uses her magic to summon a chair for Matsuri, but she drops it when they hear someone approach them. Matsuri is starstruck upon realizing its Miruki, who brings up having seen her performance. She then asks Matsuri for her Ensemble card, and while Matsuri is all to happy to hand it over, Myamu quickly tries to stop her. Miruki reasons that she should have earned it as it was meant to be her performance as Myamu attempts to snap Matsuri out of her daze. Just then, they hear a girl laughing from the tree above them and she hops down, remarking on how much fun they seem to be having. She introduces herself as Hina Yayoi, and Matsuri fawns over her in admiration recognizing her name from school. Her hamster partner lands on Myamu's head to introduce himself too. With that, Hina suggests they put on a performance together.
