It's snowing so hard.
I've been helping with stuff all afternoon.
It's a jizo statue.
You must be cold under all that snow.
Boof
I'm no jizo statue!
The jizo statue talked!
I said I'm not a statue!
Jeez, she's such a klutz.
Welp, I guess she's gonna run away from me, too.
Just like everyone else.
It talked!
Ew, creepy cat!
Help! It's a dangerous creature!
You're so cold.
What, she's not gonna run?
Are you okay with milk?
Huh? Yeah.
Extra rich.
Extra Rich
Okay...
I'm surprised you're willing to take me in.
I'm clearly suspicious.
I guess. Well, it's a habit.
I've always had a hard time ignoring people in need.
I know. I'm insufferable.
So you're a do-gooder.
Anyway...
Thanks for helping me, miss.
This may not be the best time to ask...
But would you be willing to become a magical girl?
A m-magical girl?
An evil organization is on its way to this town.
I want you to fight it.
Wait, but how do you know that?
Just my precognition powers.
Really? Wow!
I can't, though.
I'm not cut out for such a big job.
You don't have to.
Sulk
It's just a request.
It just means that I'll be a teensy bit inconvenienced.
Teensy
Okay, I'll do it!
Oh, you will? Thank you!
In that case...
From now on, you're a hero of justice.
I think this'll be perfect for your insufferable personality.
But my shoulders and legs are showing. It's embarrassing.
And the frills are so frilly.
Oh, also...
Fu fu fu
You get a wand, too.
That's a level up!
I'm Mashirou. I look forward to working with you.
Um... I'm Noichigo Kaju.
Nice to meet you, Mashirou.
Happy Happy Shopping District
Wanna have milk when we get home? Your favorite.
Yeah.
Extra rich!
I never said anything about liking it, though.
Suffer inconvenience!
Sus...
Suffer inconvenience! Suffer inconvenience! Suffer inconvenience!
Chrome?
It's him! He's the mastermind!
Of the evil organization Fossa Magna!
Hurry! Transform, quick!
B-But I'm not ready!
Not bad.
Stop right there!
Fossa Magna!
And who are you?
Wh-Who am I? Um...
Noichigo Kaju...
is my real name, so...
My name... I'm...
A hero of justice.
I'm a hero of justice.
My name is tentatively Berry Blossom!
Berry Blossom is sooo cool!!
HOOOOOONK
Struck Oil
She's eating crab...
Coo Coo
Phew
I made hayashi rice!!
You're eating it?!
Berry Blossom!
Berry!

Berry! Berry! Berry!
No Berry, no life!
Good morning, Date Chizuko.
Seriously?
"Good morning"? It's past noon already.
I am unburdened by the need to maintain a sleep schedule.
For I am evil.
I'm Date Chizuko.
Stuff happened, and now I'm an evil general.
Submitted by Mashirou-san
All to give my favorite girl a chance to shine.
#5 "Ominous Unknowns"
The weather in this town is treacherous.
However, such weather means...
I can do that thing where I emerge from dark, ominous clouds!
It's great.
Hmph.
It's #1 on the Things To Do When You Turn Evil rankings.
According to what research?
I wish to teach you, my new general, the joys of it.
N-No thanks.
It's settled! Let us get dressed!
I see... It's the end of the month...
I've been put on low-speed mode.
I've used my magic a lot this month.
Refill
Senguin
I think you should drop the whole "from dark, ominous clouds" thing.
What fortuitous timing, Grandpa!
Grandpa here.
Gimme a ride, Grandpa!
Sure thing.
I never said you could boss my grandpa around!
My beloved truck!
I'll stay home. It's a two-seater anyway.
Hold it! It's all right!
I'll take the cargo bed if I have to!
You're so persistent!
Cargo
You're not supposed to be on the cargo bed unless you're there to watch the cargo.
Liability
Liability...
Good.
We're driving around like this?
Help me pack them, Date Chizuko!
It's so light!
What's wrong with these Kuma Kaijins?
They're so light and pale.
Nay! We need only fool the eye for now!
And this is how people lose their humanity.
I've never done anything like this.
You there, kei-truck! Stop!
Wanna lose 'em?
We aren't losing them, Grandpa!
Sorry I had to stop you.
N-Not at all.
N Prefecture Police
I happened to see you in the back there.
That's pretty dangerous, you see.
We'd prefer if you didn't do that.
Are you holding an event? A festival?
Uh, yeah. Something like that.
Judging from your outfit, it must be a hero show.
Well...
The magical girl isn't involved this time.
It's just us emerging from dark clouds.
That's rough, working in this awful weather.
Take care and go get got good.
Right...
I can't see him...
But Chrome's super bummed.
The officer didn't notice that I'm an evil mastermind on a mission of evil.
He even worried about me!
Sorry, I can't hear you.
Kuma Kaijins!
Even your voice is empty!
Making them lighter backfired!
You're supposed to be watching them!
Ouch
A Kaijin!
Is he nearby?
We have to go after it!
I won't allow evil in this town!
Magical Girl Berry Blossom is on the scene!
Catch the evil and a bright future!
Let's go!
Yeah!
Emerging from dark clouds without the kaijins is going to look stupid.
Dark clouds! Dark clouds!
Let's just get the dark clouds going!
Stop rushing me!
I'm ready for you, Fossa Magna!
I'm spent...
He's still there.
I couldn't emerge from it...
Here
But I did manage to summon it.
All that's left now...
is to go home.
Why did we even come here? Seriously.
Oh, let's stop by the supermarket.
I hear tuna spines are on sale today.
It's coming!
It's not coming...
It's coming!
It's not coming...
It's coming!
It's not coming...
Low-Speed Mode Disabled
Low-speed mode disabled!
Any evil deed you name is within our capacity now, Date Chizuko...
Nay, General Dante!
One second.
I'm soaking this in right now.
Always watch television at a good distance and in a well-lit room.
It's over, Evil Mastermind Chrome!
Are you watching that again, Date Chizuko?
That's as far as you go, Fossa Magna!

It's not what you think!
I mean... it is what you think, but it's not!
Does Berry Blossom lose her ability to attack with magic
Submitted by Mashirou-san
whenever she loses her magic wand?
You absolute genius!
Make haste!
Bad things don't come to those who wait!
Hear me, Berry Blossom!
I am shouting and causing a disturbance throughout the neighborhood!
That's a half-assed evil deed.
Is that even going to work?
No shouting for me so loudly!
She's actually coming!
Pant Pant Pant
You never came last time!
And now you call for me?!
Last time?
Does she mean the dark cloud thing?
I feel so bad.
Just what do you think you're doing, Evil Mastermind Chrome?
You'll know soon enough.
A trap?
You won't stop me so easily!
Now!
Kuma Kaijin Mega Spinner!
Bearnado!
What am I even being forced to watch?
Wh-Where is it?!
Let's bounce!
S-Stop right there!
Whee! Whee!
W-Wait...
Gotcha!
You need to chill out a little.
The wand is now yours, Date Chizuko.
Sad...
I'm sorry, Mashirou.
What's done is done.
What do we do?
I can't use magic without it.
I know!
Magical Wands...
Magical Wands
Berry, you aren't really going to shop online, are you?!
I am.
It's no use, though. They only have toys.
Well, yeah.
I made that thing myself. There's no way you'll find—
Found one!
Commercial-grade Wand * magic power sold separately.
Seriously?!
It says magic power is sold separately.
It's legit!
It'll arrive tomorrow if I order it now.
Wait, wait, wait, wait...
How about no?
I'm really worried about this!
I'm doing it.
I have to protect the people.
I'm a hero of justice, after all.
Berry...
Click
She's buying a boatload...
Return the wand?!
Are you out of your mind, Date Chizuko?
I want to keep it, too.
Like, I seriously want it. A lot.
Then...
But this isn't it.
I don't want something we took by force.
I'm serious.
You're more used to attacking head-on, too, aren't you?
Test, test...
Hear me, Berry Blossom!
I am shouting and causing etc. etc.!
Well met, Berry Blossom.
That was quite the miserable display the other day.
I sympathize with your having to come out unarmed, but I have business with...
Commercial-Grade Thunderbolt Bloom!
I wonder why they gave it back...
So what are we doing with all these?
I still prefer the one I'm used to.
Let's keep some for backup and sell the rest.
Fine, fine...

A Few Days Later
Delivery.
What's that?
Ah.
I-It's only been used once!
And it was up for sale! It's fair game!
I didn't say anything.
This one?
This one... Yeah, it works, too.
I shall go for a stroll.
To leave my underlings to have a moment of enjoyment
is one of my duties as a leader.
They skimped a bit on the details.
Ooh, there's a nub!
Shoot!
I forgot to bring soy sauce!
I'll go back to get some.
Okay.
Ka-zoom!
The heroes of justice...
They're totally taking time off!
Literally out to lunch.
I shall have to mock them.
Well? Anything biting?
Oh, here and there.
Got one!
Yay!
I got a pretty big one.
Has she not noticed that it's me?!
Is it a rainbow trout?
I heard that when rainbow trout are raised in salt water, they're called steelhead trout.
She's literally gone fishing!
I was afraid to touch it at first, but I'm used to it now!
And she keeps talking about stuff I never asked about.
Oh, it was that Mashirou guy from earlier that taught me how to fish.
Mashirou, huh?
That sketchy, two-head-tall mystery creature.
Please don't speak ill of Mashirou.
He's given me so much.
Just today,
he came up with the idea of holding a barbecue to thank me.
Huh? Er...
I don't think that's a barbecue.
It would appear to be more of a charcoal stove.
What? Charcoal stove? That sounds scary!
It can't be!
He said...
This is the most popular barbecue stove right now.
You're so knowledgeable, Mashirou!
That isn't even a very thoughtful lie.
N-No...
Pitiful.
Should a hero of justice be so foolish and gullible?
How do you know about that?
It can't be...
Are you the evil...
mastermind's fellow enemy, who's been watching the viewer submissions of my battles?
Wrong!
She keeps going off on her fantasies!
Whoa!
Mashirou submits those videos, so I don't know much about them, but...
I'm not gonna tell her until she figures it out!
So there are people who watch them!
Yeah... Sure.
There's one person who watches you zealously.
Wow, it's heavy!
Berry's so strong! Even her braids are strong!
Teehee
That makes me so happy.
I've never gotten to talk to a fan before.
No, I'm not talking about me.
I know!
As a token of our new friendship...
Please have this fish I just caught!
Slimy...
No, thank you!
Well, I don't want it, but Date Chizuko...
She might lose her head.
Chrome!
Don't say it!
What do you think you're doing to Berry?!
Farewell, heroes of justice!
The fish is mine!
Give it back, fool!
Our fish!
Chrome...
He knew I was Berry Blossom.
Why did he make idle conversation with me?
It can't be...
When he left me on edge wondering if he was coming out of the dark cloud...
When he gave me back my wand...
There's one person who watches you zealously.
Was it all because...
He's my fan?!
Are you safe, Berry?!
No way...
The evil mastermind?!
Are you sure you're all right, Berry?!
Maybe I should have given him a bigger fish.
How are you such a people-pleaser?
Date Chizuko, I come bearing a gift that you will surely appreciate.
Chrome? What is it?
Fishy-fish!
Raw fish?!
I don't know what to do with this...
What were you doing?
Well...
I don't want you to become envious, so I won't tell you.
Say what? Wait!
No, come on!
'Sup?
What am I supposed to do with this?!
