Rena wrote Kaede's name on the Friendship Ending Staircase. Kaede apologizes to Rena, but she is kidnapped by the Chain Monsters, confirming that the rumor about the staircase was true. In order to find Kaede and bring her back, Momoko and her companions come up with a strategy to lure out the Chain Monsters. Yachiyo has joined the group after being asked by Momoko to help them. Yachiyo claims that Iroha will hinder the operation and refuses to let her participate in the battle with the Chain Monsters.

Iroha moves into Mikazuki Villa and transfers to Kamihama City University Affiliated School. She discovers that even though Kaede goes to the same school, she is unable to contact her. Iroha has a hard time getting used to her new surroundings, so when she sees that Rena doesn't have many friends in class, they decide to eat lunch together on the rooftop. Iroha is still gathering information about various rumors, and Rena tells her about the rumor of the Invisible Girl and Endless Solitude. Tsuruno hears about the rumor of the Radio Wave Girl from a regular at Banbanzai and tells Iroha about it.

A student at Mizuna Girls' Academy, Tsukuyo, is hiding the fact that she is a member of the Wings of the Magius. Iroha goes to see Tsukuyo and asks to be introduced to Nemu Hiiragi, a friend of Iroha’s sister, Ui. Tsukuyo promises to Iroha that she will talk to Mifuyu about the matter. Sana has gotten accustomed to living at Mikazuki Villa, and suggests to everyone that they surprise Yachiyo with a gift, but…

Yachiyo pursues Black Feather and the others to find Hotel Faint Hope, which is where the headquarters of the Magius is located. After battling the Uwasa of Peeking Castle Town, she walks through the shopping district where Uwasas have appeared before to find the entrance to Hotel Faint Hope. There, she meets a Magical Girl named Kuroe from Takarazaki City and small Kyubey, but Kuroe suddenly tries to run away. After chasing Kuroe, Yachiyo’s former best friend, Mifuyu Azusa, appears before her. Mifuyu explains that the methods of the Magius are necessary to prevent any more girls becoming victims like Iroha…

Kuroe lets Iroha get ahead of her while fighting with Magius. Kuroe hears a whisper that puts her in a shock: “Did you forget about me?” At the same time, Iroha is hearing Ui’s voice. Felicia and Sana are confused about Magius’ plan. Sana has questions and explains her intent to Mifuyu, who seems to have given up on everything. Due to the plan, Yachiyo is after Iroha in Kamihama City, which is filled with a large number of Witches. While there, Yachiyo comes across a Magical Girl from Mitakihara City.
