(Ayaka's Side Story)

The story begins with Ayaka and Shizuku Hozumi fighting a witch. Shizuku says she'll attack the witch from behind. Ayaka says she'll leave it to her partner, prompting Shizuku to think they only just met. The witch launches a surprise attack on Ayaka, causing her to claim it's cheating. Shizuku thinks the witch is more powerful than it looks and they should retreat. Ayaka disagrees and says it's fine. When Shizuku asks if she has a better idea, Ayaka says she doesn't as she's not very smart. Shizuku splutters so Ayaka sounded so confident earlier. Ayaka says it's baseless, but she still thinks they can beat the witch. Shizuku remarks it's just a gut feeling. Ayaka says it's what her heart is saying and that Shizuku should leave it to her. She then charges at the witch.

The witch is defeated, and Shizuku that Ayaka somehow defeated it through sheer will power. Ayaka celebrates her victory by rambling about things like her "Positive Heart" and "Clean Hit". Shizuku thinks that Ayaka is keeping the conversation going by herself. Ayaka then suddenly asks what time it is. When Shizuku tells her it's almost five o'clock, Ayaka screams and says she won't make it to the "Needle Roller" live show. Shizuku thinks she's talking about a punk rock band. When Ayaka says she's been waiting two weeks to see the show, Shizuku asks her where it is and what time it starts.

Shizuku explains her innate magic to Ayaka: Special Binding, which links two spaces together. Ayaka says with a power like that, Shizuku can get away with oversleeping. Shizuku thinks she never thought about using it that way. Shizuku says they can make it to the show with time to spare. Ayaka is still freaking out and says the show starts in fifteen minutes. Shizuku uses her power, and in a bright flash of light the girls appear in front of "Figure Eight Hall ''. The time is 10 minutes until 5 o'clock. Ayaka is happy she wasn't late for the show. Shizuku tells her she should get going. Ayaka thanks her and leaves, but then suddenly comes back.

Ayaka says she wants to offer Shizuku her thanks, and reveals she has a second ticket to the show. Shizuku says she's not into punk, but Ayaka asks what she's talking about. Ayaka then enters the building and tells Shizuku to come along. It turns out that Needle Roller is a comedy duo. However, Ayaka is the only person laughing at their jokes. Afterward, Ayaka says she enjoyed the show, while Shizuku is just puzzled. Ayaka asks if Shizuku thought the show was funny.
