Dark Kaori Descends 1

**Dark Kaori Descends 1** is the first episode of Magica Round 1 Iroha's dress stories.

## Plot

In the White Room, Tobio begins recalling a memory, triggered by one of Iroha's dresses.

In Shibuya, Iroha is celebrating getting limited edition merchandise from Piccolo Polo. Marianne is just as excited for Iroha, while Kaori is confused about Piccolo Polo. Iroha and Marianne explain that it is a special wand used in one of Iroha's favourite magical girl shows, where the main character turns giant-sized. Iroha begins reminiscing about the scene, and she and Marianne quickly become absorbed in sharing their favourite anime moments.

Worried about the commotion they are making in public, Kaori asks the two to keep it down. When Marianne apologises for excluding her, since Kaori doesn't have any nerdy interests, Kaori replies that she reads Gun Peace. Marianne is immediately amused for Kaori being so mainstream. Kaori sulks, and Iroha tries to defend her, but only makes it worse. Kaori then growls about having no interests or body figure. Marianne starts to panic, trying to reassure Kaori that no one mentioned her figure. Kaori however is relentless, saying Marianne must have it easy, since she has a cute face, great figure and lots of interests. When Marianne begs Iroha to save her, Iroha comments that Dark Kaori has taken over.

Back in the White Room, Tobio awakens, but feels like there was more to the memory he just saw.

## Transcript

*(In the White Room)*

Narration
Residual memories flowed from the dress I got.
Suddenly, I felt an overwhelming urge to sleep.
I could see something at the center of my blurred vision, and memories of Iroha I had never seen before vividly played back in my brain.
*(Scene change to Shibuya)*

Iroha
Hooray! I finally got the anniversary edition of Piccolo Polo!
Marianne
Woohoo! You got Piccolo Polo!
Kaori
Hmm... Doesn't it remind you of the Legend of Zumba? What is Piccolo Polo again?
Iroha
Huh? You don't remember, Kaorin? It's the wand that Dodomi uses!
Iroha
Check it out! Dodomi turns giant sized in the arc, and this anniversary edition Piccolo Polo is the massive log she swings around!
Kaori
Can you even call that a wand anymore?
Marianne
Teeheehee. Magical Dodomi's 5th arc is an omnibus of side stories, and there are so many great moments!
Iroha
Absolutely! JeReMy whips this around and is all like, "Oraoraora!" Man! No matter how many times I watch... It's so cool!
Marianne
I know what you mean! The other day, I got the Shower Rangers Loofah Force transformation megaphone and...
Kaori
You two are way too loud! Calm down a bit, okay... See how everyone's glaring at us...?
Iroha
Haha, sorry.
Marianne
My apologies. Kaori, you don't really have any of these nerdy interests, right?
Kaori
That's not true. I read the Gun Peace comics all the time!
Marianne
Gun P! ROFL!
Marianne
...Oh, well... I mean, popular stuff is good too.
Kaori
Hmph...
Iroha
Kaorin has a sweet tooth, but that's pretty much her only interest. No hobbies she gets excited about, really.
Kaori
...
Kaori
Hmph, I just eat desserts all the time and have no interests or boobs, huh?
Marianne
W-wait a second, Kaori. Nobody said anything about your boobs, okay?
Kaori
...You're lucky, Marianne. You're cute, have interests, and boobs too... So you just watch idly as people like me struggle?
Marianne
Wh-wh-what are you... Iroha, save me!
Iroha
Kaorin's transformed into Dark Kaori...
Kaori
Hmph...
*(Scene change to the White Room)*

Narration
That's when I woke up.
Although I think there was more to that memory...
