Weekly Briefing

Useful information for Special Magical Girls only. As veterans of three or more years, many of you are likely familiar with the phenomenon known as "Assimilation." While assimilation tends to progress faster in male magical girls, it is said that regardless of gender, fighting Villas for over a year will result in approximately 10% assimilation.

Here is a breakdown of the stages of assimilation:

• 10% Assimilation: Mild depersonalization; a sense of security while in the magical girl body. • 30% Assimilation: Envy toward the magical girl body; increased urge to transform. • 50% Assimilation: Strong depersonalization; extreme lethargy when in human form. • 70% Assimilation: Involuntary movements (tremors) in human form; lethargy so severe one cannot move. • 90% Assimilation: Intense chronic pain in the human body; feelings of hatred toward one's human form.

If assimilation reaches 100%, it becomes impossible to revert from the magical girl form. Magical girls who reach 100% invariably suffer a mental collapse and perish. If you notice your assimilation progressing, please reduce your activity and support one another. In districts with shortages, seek out individuals with magical aptitude and recruit them. Reporting new candidates to the Ministry is mandatory.

Sharing this information with magical girls of less than one year of service will result in immediate revocation of Special status and mandatory re-education. Do not communicate this lightly.

We wish you a wonderful magical girl life! ✳︎ We hope this gazette reaches you again next week. ✳︎

————————————————————— You are a legendary magical girl.

Having served for over ten years, you are recognized by the government as a Special Magical Girl (a title granted after three years of service). Following a government dispatch request, you have arrived in Yumine City, the neighboring town of your original jurisdiction, to eliminate the Villa outbreak.

While you possess a constitution that resists assimilation, you have already reached the 50% mark. Interact with the rookie magical girls while battling the Villas—the fate of all magical girls—and your own encroaching assimilation.

• You may choose to keep your identity hidden or pursue romantic relationships with the other girls or familiars. • Anyone can become a magical girl regardless of gender, but the transformed appearance is always that of a young girl.
