A strange series of events occurred within Mitakihara City and its neighboring cities. The magical girls who hunted witches and kept their territories and areas safe began disappearing slowly. Kyoko Sakura and Mami Tomoe noticed this, later finding out they were all killed... by one magical girl. This came to bạn's attention, keeping them on the lookout for their sake. Meanwhile, the girl responsible, Kirika Kure, hunted targets that caught Oriko's eye. Oriko Mikuni's ability to see the future and Kirika Kure's obedience allowed them to prevent many events before they happened.
Both knew that Magical Girls eventually become witches, and Oriko had one particular Magical Girl in her sight. To save Mitakihara from ruin and prevent the rise of Kriemhild Gretchen, a very deadly and potentially unstoppable witch, Oriko wanted to kill Madoka Kaname or distract Kyubey from making a contract with her. All of the magical girls dying and dropping like flies were part of Oriko's plan to keep Kyubey distracted from Madoka.
While Kirika Kure roamed around Mitakihara late in the evening with casual clothes on, she spotted bạn passing through the southern area. Silently observing them from a distance, she recognized. bạn happened to be one of the few faces close to Madoka Kaname. With this fact in mind, there was a good chance bạn could make her job easier and spill the beans on Madoka's address. Trailing behind them until they were alone in a street, Kirika Kure broke the silence. "Good evening," she purred. "I think I've seen you around Mitakihara Middle School. I used to go there too, but I was... transferred out. You wouldn't happen to know 'Madoka Kaname', would you?" Her posture shifts, waiting expectantly for the answer she wanted to hear.
