Kazuko: Kaname Madoka-san?
Madoka: Yes.
Kazuko: I wonder what’s wrong, were you feeling sick?
Kazuko: Here you go.
Madoka: Huh? Failed?! (note: literally ‘a red mark’) What should I do!? I’ve turned in to an idiot after becoming a Puella Magi!”
All: Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica
Madoka: Drama CD
Sayaka: Sunny Day Life!
Kazuko: Okay, every student who failed will be taking a re-test tomorrow. So please study hard!
Sayaka: Madoka~! How’d your test go?
Madoka: Sayaka-chan… I did so bad.
Sayaka: Hm?... Huh, 37 points?!
Madoka: Eee… Don’t say it out so loud like that!
Sayaka: What are you worried about? It’s better than me, I got 28 points. What should I do~? hahaha.
Madoka: Homework and being a magical girl… I wasn’t able to keep up with them both. (alt trans: ‘keep them balanced’)
Kyubey: I’m not trying to comfort/console you but if you think about it, compared to your task/cause, the results/marks of your test is pretty minor.
Madoka: Kyubey.
Sayaka: Oh shut up, when we get down to it, it’s your entire fault right?
Madoka: You’re so terrible/mean, Kyubey. To say that…
Kyubey: Oh for, so you regard the marks of an exam/test as more important than hunting down Witches.
Madoka: Ah, Hitomi-chan…
Sayaka: Hitomi…
Hitomi: Sayaka-san, Madoka-san, I’ll lend you my notes to you.
Sayaka: Huh?
Hitomi: My important/precious friends are in a bind, I can’t just leave them be.
Madoka: Thank you Hitomi-chan!
Hitomi: And besides, I would like to be fight/compete against my rival equally.
Sayaka: Urg. Forget it; we don’t need your notes!
Madoka: Wha-!
Hitomi: Really? I understand then, but if there’s anything I can help you with don’t hesitate to ask.
Madoka: AH! The notes!
Sayaka: ERK! Madoka, on tomorrow’s make up test, we’re going to get a perfect score/hundred points!
Madoka: Huh?
Sayaka: We can’t just let Hitomi look down on us like that! (bad translation)
Madoka: What should we do? Is there anyone who can help us out with our homework?
Sayaka: That’s it! Let’s ask Mami-san! Mami-san! Mami-san!
Mami: What? Is there something wrong?
Sayaka: Well you see…
Kyubey: Madoka and Sayaka have to take a makeup test.
Mami: Oh my.
Sayaka: Hey, back off/shut your mouth Kyubey!
Madoka: Mami, could you help us with our homework?
Mami: Of course, why don’t we meet at my place after school?
Sayaka+Madoka: ALL RIGHT!
Mami: Please, come in.
Madoka: Thanks for having us.
Homura: Thank you for having us.
Kyouko: Thanks.
Sayaka: Hey, why are you guys here?
Homura: Why? It’s obvious isn’t it? I’m worried about Madoka who failed her test of course.
Madoka: Homura-chan…
Kyouko: And I’m here ‘cause Mami invited me to eat some cake.
Mami: I have some delicious cake, so I thought it might be nice/more fun if everyone came.
Sayaka: Now all five magical girls are here.
Homura: This isn’t so bad of a parallel world.
Sayaka: What timeline did you come from?!
Kyouko: Oh come on, forget about that. Let’s eat cake!
Mami: Yes, I’ll go and prepare some tea. Please wait.
Madoka: Mami-san, I’ll help.
Homura: Me too.
Mami: Thank you.
Sayaka: Hey hey! We’re here to seriously study today. Tomorrow’s test is at stake here!
Kyouko: Ya can’t concentrate on studying with if your blood sugar’s too low ya know!.
Sayaka: You’re not even going to school in the first place, studying has nothing to do with you!
Kyouko: Huh? Oh yeah! That’s right.
Mami: Sorry for the wait. Ah. Oh Kyubey, I don’t have a problem with you being here but don’t sit on the table.
Kyubey: Yes, yes.
Mami: Please have some.
Madoka: Wow~, this tart is cute.
Mami: Inside is cheese cake. Yesterday, I was so hesitant but I ended up buying the whole cake. But I’m glad I did.
All: Thanks for the meal/snack!
Kyouko: Delicious
Mami: I’m so glad.
Madoka: It’s delicious, isn’t it Homura-chan?
Homura: Yes, very.
Sayaka: The texture is very fluffy/soft/light/airy.
Kyouko: So in the end, even Sayaka’s eating it.
Sayaka: If there’s cake in front of me, there’s no way I can get into a studying mood.
Mami: Oh that reminds me, what subjects did you fail?
Madoka: English…
Sayaka: Madoka was really close (to passing) but I’m critical/bad.
Kyouko: Sayaka is very foolish
Sayaka: Kyouko, if you’re here to just bug me, just got home!
Madoka: Lately we’ve been working as Magical Girls a lot.
Mami: That’s true.
Madoka: At night when I try to think/muse (lit trans: deep thinking)…
Mami: Think?
Madoka: Nothing! But you know Mami-san and Homura-chan are so good at studying. I wonder if this means any idiot can be a magical girl.
Kyubey: Can’t say it’s never happened before, there are Magical girls out there who have no head for tactics but just rely only their physical and magical strength to see them through. Though it’s not recommended to fight this way.
Homura: Kyubey, if you say anything more, I will bury you. Madoka, you’re not dumb/stupid.
Madoka: Thank you, Homura-chan.
Mami: That’s right, being good at studying isn’t bad/useless but it’s not the same as being skilled at fighting as a Magical girl.
Madoka: Mami-san.
Sayaka: But Madoka only just has to try a bit harder and it’s only English. I still have to retake my Math test!
Madoka: Huh? Really, Sayaka-chan?
Kyouko: Oh My God.
Mami: I’m sure the makeup test will have similar questions to the old one. Let’s study what was on the previous test together.
Homura: If we concentrate on your weakspot, grammar and vocabulary, you should be fine.
Mami: Kaname-san is rather careless with spelling and checking, so you should memorize the vocabulary.
Homura: Writing it out will help you remember it better.
Madoka: Um… Yeah, I got it.
Sayaka: That’s it! Homura, you have the ability to stop time during the test right! Wait, don’t tell me…
Homura: Miki Sayaka… I have never even thought that before (ie It’s never occurred to me)
Sayaka: Eh?
Madoka: Sayaka-chan… Homura-chan would never do such a thing.
Homura: To think there’s a person… who would think about stopping time just for a test.
Sayaka: E-everyone thinks about it once right?!
Kyouko: I~ wouldn’t~ know~!
Sayaka: Huh? Really? Only me?! Gah.
Kyubey: Don’t think about it too much, Sayaka.
Mami: Hey Kyubey, don’t sit on the sofa.
Kyubey: Okay already, I got it. Huh, I just heard your classmate scream.
Madoka: Classmate?
Kyubey: Shizuki Hitomi!
Madoka: Hitomi-chan!?
Sayaka What happened to Hitomi! Tell us!
Kyubey: H-hey! Sayaka, stop shaking me!
Madoka: Kyubey, I’m begging you. Don’t go near Hitomi!
Sayaka: If you do anything to Hitomi, I’ll never forgive you.
Kyubey: You’re so terrible, accusing me like that. I just sensed and told you your friend might be in danger.
Sayaka: Anyways, let’s go out and see what happened.
Everyone: Yeah.
Madoka: Hitomi-chan’s house is around here right?
Sayaka: Yeah.
Homura: What’s Shizuki Hitomi’s status?
Kyubey: Hm, I don’t sense anything in particular.There appears to be no danger.
Madoka: I’m so glad
Kyouko: Hey, look at that!
Mami: There’s some white thing moving on the roof.
Sayaka: Is it a ghost?
Madoka: A ghost?!
Kyouko: A familiar…?
Homura: It dropped something.
Sayaka: Let’s check it out.
Kyouko: Hm? What?...
Mami: It’s… underwear…
Homura: Yes, underwear.
Madoka: Why?
Sayaka: Isn’t it obvious? That ghost thing dropped it, it’s the familiar of a panty/underwear thief
Madoka: Panty thief?
Sayaka: Enemy of women! Unforgivable!
Mami: Indeed, utterly unforgivable.
Sayaka: Where did it go…
Kyouko: On the roof, it ran.
Sayaka: Got it! I’ll chase it down.
Madoka: Sayaka-chan, you’re transforming here!?
Sayaka: We don’t have any more time!
Mami: Let’s go after them too.
Kyouko: Hey, wait for me. If ya don’t hurry up and transform, you’re going to be left behind.
Madoka: Homura-chan, let’s go too.
Homura: Yes.
Sayaka: What is up with it, it’s so fast.
Kyouko: Ah, it went down.
Mami: It’s heading in towards that derelict building.
Madoka: That ghost familiar… went into this building right?
Kyouko: Hm… Man, it’s so dark I can’t see anything.
Sayaka: Come out!!
Homura: There doesn’t appear to be a barrier up.
Kyubey: You’re right. Perhaps its magic power is low but strangely I can’t sense any maliciousness.
Homura: What do you mean?
Kyubey: I’m not sure myself.
Sayaka: HEY! If you’re not coming out, then I’m coming after you!
Mami: Miki-san, we don’t know much about the enemy. So please, be on your guard.
Sayaka: Got it, at least we know it’s a low level familiar that steals girl’s underwear!
Madoka: Maybe it’s hiding itself somewhere.
Kyouko: It might have run away. Moreover, what was it going to do with stolen underwear?
Sayaka: What was it… You seriously don’t know?
Kyouko: I could understand if it was new but someone else already used it. I wouldn’t want it used.
Homura: There lies the value.
Kyouko: I just don’t get it…
Mami: Shh, be quiet. I can sense something from this floor. There it is, everyone be careful.
Madoka: Okay.
Mami: There! To steal underwear, I won’t forgive an enemy of women. Tiro Finale
Madoka: You did it! As expected of Mami-san!
Kyouko: No! It dodged it.
Mami: I don’t believe it. Tiro Finale missed…
Sayaka: Something black just came out from the ghost. That’s gotta be it’s real/main body. Don’t worry Mami-san, I’ll take care of it.
Homura: Madoka, try to stay by my side.
Madoka: Homura-chan.
Kyouko: Sayaka, I’ll cover for you.
Sayaka: Thanks Kyouko. Found it. Enemy of women!! Take~ th~
Cat: *meow*
Sayaka: Meow?
Kyouko: Hey did it just meow.
Homura: It did meow.
Cat: *meow*
Madoka: A cat?
Mami: Then… that white thing was…
Homura: A sheet/cloth… This black cat had been running around while wearing the sheet, so it looked like a ghost.
Sayaka: Are you serious… Man, you are one troublesome cat
Cat: *meow*
Mami: But why would a cat steal underwear for?
Homura: Please see this. In the corner of this room, there’re many underwear.
Kyouko: Whoa… Hey cat, don’t tell me you stole all this just make your bed…
Cat: *meow*
Mami: It appears it gathered/stolen quite a bit.
Madoka: Little kitty… Bad…
Cat: *hiss*
Madoka: So many, we can’t tell who owns what so we can’t return them.
Homura: The one that this cat just dropped a moment ago, I believe that it’s Shizuki Hitomi’s.
Madoka: Um, I’ll secretly return it to Hitomi’s house later.
Sayaka: Ah, I’ll hold on to it for her. Hm, I see… So this is… Hitomi’s panty…So she goes around wearing something like this…
Madoka: Sayaka-chan…
Sayaka: I’m so tired.
Madoka: But good thing it wasn’t a familiar.
Kyubey: Who would have thought it was a cat, no wonder I didn’t sense any malice/evil.
Mami: hey Kyubey, don’t climb the curtain.
Kyubey: Ouf.
Kyouko: And ya fired a Tiro Finale at a cat. Tiro~ Finale~
Mami: Stop making fun of me already. But I’m so relieved that the kitty managed dodged it.
Sayaka: I wonder if it’ll stop doing bad things now.
Madoka: Tomorrow, I’ll bring some food to feed the cat
Homura: I’ll go with you.
Kyouko: Hah! After all that work, I’m starvin’.
Mami: Really? Then why don’t I make something?
Kyouko: Aw right!
Mami: If pastas okay with you, it’s easy to cook so I can make some for everyone.
Madoka: May I help you?
Mami: Yes, of course. Thank you.
Madoka: Mami-san’s so skilful.
Mami: Really? Perhaps it’s because I try to cook for myself all the time.
Madoka: Mami-san is so great at everything, I admire you so much.
Mami: I’m only doing it because I’m forced to do it.
Madoka: Mami-san?
Mami: But lately since you’re all by my side now, I’ve come to depend on you all.
Madoka: I want to help but in the end, I just end up watching
Mami: Well, why don’t you watch the timer to check the boiling time of the pasta.
Madoka: Okay.
Mami: Ally-oop (yoisho). Wow, cooking for five really makes the pot is heavy
Madoka: I’m so sorry.
Mami: That’s all right, I always cook for myself/one. It was pretty fun to cook this.
Madoka: It’s done!
S+K: Wow! It looks so good/tasty!
Mami: Here/This is Kyubey’s.
Kyubey: There’s some for me too?
Mami: Yup, it’s cat food. Please eat it.
Kyouko: How nice.
Mami: We should eat too.
All: Thanks for the meal!
Kyouko: Tasty!
Sayaka: It is, Mami-san is such a genius.
Mami: Kaname-san helped me today. The pasta boiled just right, al dente is the best.
Homura: Madoka, it’s delicious. You did great.
Kyubey: Highly nutritious and well balanced. These pellets are highly efficient in providing energy.
Mami: Its additive free too.
Madoka: Kyouko-chan, we have more so you don’t have to eat so fast.
Kyouko: Thank you.
Kyubey: You mean I can have more?
Mami: Yes, there’s lots of cat food for Kyubey.
Sayaka: Ah, Madoka is using a spoon.
Madoka: Huh?
Sayaka: Back in the originating country/Italy, they say that the only people who use a spoon to eat pasta are children
Madoka: *GAN!* (sound effect of “thud”, you can hear a hollow metal ring, represents depression/embarrassment)
Mami: Oh, I’ve heard of that before.
Sayaka: Mado-tan, iz it dewicious?
Madoka: Yes, it’s delicious… But eating with a spoon is so much easier.
Kyouko: You can eat it just with a fork you know.
Mami: You eat it like soba…
Sayaka: Urg, Kyouko’s not right too. Look… Use the fork like this, get some pasta and…
Kyouko: Yeah, and…
All: Roll/Twist Roll/Twist… Roll/Twist Roll/Twist…
Sayaka: Huh? It doesn’t look good/beautiful/elegant at all.
All: Roll/Twist Roll/Twist… Roll/Twist Roll/Twist…
Mami: Oh no, it looks like I wrapped up too much.
Homura: Take a portion to an empty section of your plate while twisting the fork, that way it will look just fine.
Madoka: Wow Homura-chan, it looks perfect!
Homura: I practiced.
Kyouko: AHHH!!! Mami! Get me some chopstick! Chopsticks!
Mami: Okay, okay.
Sayaka: Ah~ so doing it the original/right way was too much for Kyouko.
Kyouko: Sayaka couldn’t do it right either!
Sayaka: I’m such.. an idio-. HEY! I’m not like you, I’m not giving up!
Kyouko: We’re Japanese, Japanese should use chopsticks to eat everything!
Sayaka: What?! After I took the time to tell/show you!
Mami: Now now you two, I’d be happier if you eat it before it gets cold
S+K: Y-yes…
Madoka: Thanks for the meal.
Sayaka: Ah, satisfaction…
Kyouko: I ate way too much…
Mami: Wow, you ate it all.
Kyouko: Of course I did, wasting something this tasty is just asking for divine punishment.
Mami: Thank you.
Homura: I’ll clean up the plates.
Mami: Could you just soak them in the water for me?
Homura: Yes.
Madoka: Kyouko-chan fell asleep after eating.
Sayaka: She’s really lives life according to her instincts. Her mouths still dirty.
Madoka: She’s like a baby.
Sayaka: At least her sleeping face is.
Homura: She looks happy.
Sayaka: Okay, Mami-san while Kyouko’s sleeping, let’s start studying seriously shall we?
Mami: Okay, let’s go.
Sayaka: If we don’t hurry, it’ll be morning before we know it.
Madoka: Ah? It’s already this late?! I’ve gotta go home.
Kyouko: Aw don’t sweat it, stay over a night.
Homura: She’s awake.
Sayaka: This is Mami’s home ya know.
Mami: I’m all right with it.
Madoka: Sorry, but I have to tell my place before if I want to stay over a night.
Homura: If that’s so, I’ll go home too.
Sayaka: Um Mami-san, can I stay for a bit longer?
Mami: Of course you can stay over a night.
Madoka: Thank you very much for today.
Homura: Thank you for today. (literally: sorry for bothering you)
Mami: Oh not at all, it was so lively and fun.
Sayaka: See you, lets’ both do our best on tomorrow’s retest!
Madoka: Bye bye.
Madoka: I couldn’t study all too much at Mami’s place. What should I do…
Homura: Hey, on tomorrow’s test… If you want Madoka, I can use my power to stop time.
Madoka: Oh no, that’s not good. I can’t have Homura-chan use her powers for something like this. I’ll do this on my own…
Homura: I see… I’m sure you’ll do fine. But if there’s anything I can do for you, just ask me.
Madoka: I’ll do my best…
Homura: There’s one thing I want to warn you on though, you should definitely give up that name you thought up all night and noted down for your ultimate/secret attack.
Madoka: Huh? How did you know that!?
Homura: I know almost everything there is to know about you, I’m only warning you for your sake. To be frank, all the names are old-fashioned/corny/clichéd/lame. I can’t stand the thought of everyone laughing at Madoka.
Madoka: I see/Is that so… Homura-chan, I’m so sorry. Saying something that’s hard for you to say for my sake.
Homura: If you understand, that’s good. You don’t need a cool name for your ultimate/secret attack.
Madoka: I guess I wanted to be like Mami-san and over did it.
Homura: You… should simply stay as Kaname Madoka… You should spend your time studying than thinking up an attack name.
Madoka: Yeah, I’ll definitely concentrate on studying.
Homura: I am always protecting (watching and protecting) you.
Madoka: Homura, thanks so very much. See you tomorrow! Bye bye.
Homura: Bye bye, Madoka
Madoka: I’m home.
Junko: Welcome home, you’re back late.
Madoka: Mama, I was at Mami-sempai’s place studying with Sayaka-chan.
Junko: What about dinner?
Madoka: I already had some, Mami-san cooked pasta for us.
Junko: Ooh.
Madoka: Where’s Papa?
Junko: With Tatsuya, ended up taking a nap together.
Madoka: I see. Hey Mama.
Junko: Hm?
Madoka: I’m sorry, I failed at English.
Junko: What, that’s never happened before.
Madoka: I know I need to pay attention to my studies. I’m sorry.
Junko: Ah, that’s… Studying is important but studying isn’t everything for humans. There are lots of things that Madoka can only do at your age; so I’m not complaining.
Madoka: Mama, thanks. I’ll make sure to keep it up with everything else.
Junko: When I was Madoka’s age, I wasn’t interested in studying at all and did lots of naughty things. (Trans Note: so… Sukeban Junko? Fund it!)
Madoka: Eh, really? Mama?
Junko: Yup. Ah but try not to worry your Papa.
Madoka: Okay.
Junko: Ah, good girl. So let’s talk!
Madoka: No, no. I have a test tomorrow.
Junko: Aw~
Madoka: I’m going to take a bath first before studying.
Junko: When Papa wakes up, I’ll ask him to make some hot cocoa for you.
Madoka: Okay, thanks.
Madoka: Ah~. I guess I really should have borrowed Hitomi-chan’s note after all. After the bath, I gotta study all night/until dawn! We protect the peace of this town/city! I gotta do my best for both!
Kyubey: That’s a heart-warming statement, madoka.
Madoka: Kyubey!? You pervert Kyubey! Don’t follow me into the bathroom!
Kyubey: Pervert? Madoka, why are you treating me as if I’m a pervert? Even if I see you in the nude, I can’t feel anything!
Madoka: Whatever, get out! Out! Out! Out!
Kyubey: I just don’t get it.
Madoka: Ah! Being a Magical Girl is so troublesome/such a pain
