Tsumugi Morimoto had been fat for her entire life.
It had all started when she was about five years old. Her mother ran a bakery in town, and she was forever giving whichever cupcakes, and cookies, and muffins she couldn't sell to Tsumugi, who always happily took them. Back then, she couldn't care less about being overweight, or having to wear plus-size clothes, no, none of it mattered, as long as she got to eat her mother's treats. Whenever she felt sad, or angry, her mother would always have something delicious whipped up for her.
But it all changed Tsumugi's mother died.
Her beloved bakery closed down. Tsumugi's father had to work two jobs, to support himself and his daughter. And just to top it all off, Tsumugi's classmates were now starting to make fun of her weight. So she turned to the only comfort she knew; food, and began binge-eating. The pounds piled on, and she started to hate her fat body. But she couldn't stop.
Tsumugi tried everything. She tried to stop bingeing. She tried every diet out there. But even if she could contain the urge to binge for a bit, or stick to a diet, she'd always start bingeing again, and she'd regain all of the weight she'd lost, and more. She hated being bullied, she hated her constant urge to comfort herself with food, and most of all, she hated how fat she'd become...
And somehow, that had led to a white, ferret-like creature approaching her on the way home from school.
"The name's Kyubey," the creature began, "I'm an incubator, and I can grant any wish, no matter how big or small. All you'd have to do in return is become a magical girl."
Tsumugi was sceptical, at first. She had no idea what this white ferret thing was, or if it was even real. But at this point, she was beyond caring. She'd do anything to be thin, and to make the bullies stop. Even if it meant making a wish with this ferret thing.
Just to make sure that it was real, Tsumugi put her hand out, to touch it. Surprisingly, it felt a little like petting a cat.
"So, you can grant me anything?" she asked, "Anything at all?"
The ferret-like creature nodded. "Absolutely. You could wish for a giant cake, or for someone you care about to be brought back to life. And I guarantee that I can make it happen."
Tsumugi inhaled sharply. She thought that this whole thing was crazy. Magical girls only existed in anime, but then again, so did talking ferrets. This whole thing was probably just some crazy dream, which she'd wake up from in a few hours, but, even if just for a bit, she wanted to have her wish come true.
"Alright then, here's my wish."
The creature leaned in closer. "I'm listening."
"I want you to make me thin," she instructed, "No, I don't just want to be thin. I want to be thin, and beautiful. The most beautiful girl for miles around. Someone nobody will ever make fun of ever again."
Kyubey nodded. "Alright. Then hold still."
And with that, Tsumugi crumpled to the floor, as the creature held out its ears, and a burning sensation ran through her body. It was like being burned alive...
And when the burning subsided, Tsumugi's clothes were hanging off her. Her body felt light as air, like there was nothing holding it down. Her big tummy, and her thick thighs, and her round face were gone.
And in her palm, there was an oval-shaped, white gem.
"That's your soul gem," Kyubey explained, "It's where your magic comes from. With it, you can transform into a magical girl, and fight witches."
"What are witches?"
"Witches are...Fallen magical girls, let's say," Kyubey continued, "They fell into despair, and became monsters, who prey on innocent people. It's your duty to stop them, as a magical girl."
"Got it," she responded, "I'll be the best magical girl for miles around!"
Kyubey nodded affirmatively, swishing his tail, as he looked over the new magical girl. There was no telling how long she would last. Usually, he was able to put an accurate expiry date on all of his magical girls, but not on this one. Would her wish for beauty really solve all of her problems? Or would plunge her quickly into despair? The incubator couldn't wait to find out.
His attention was quickly drawn to a grief seed, sticking out of a nearby building. If that was anything to go by, it meant that a witch was around, somewhere...
"Well," he began, "It looks as if you've got your first assignment."
Tsumugi gave him a surprised look. "What?"
Kyubey gestured behind her. "There's a witch nearby. I can see a grief seed sticking out from that building. Find it, and defeat it."
Tsumugi nodded. "Alright. Better transform first, then."
And she held up her new soul gem, initiating her transformation. A loose, white Greek style chiton, held in place by two gold buttons, appeared first, followed by a pair of gold sandals. Next, two bangles, one bearing the same white crystal of her soul gem, attached themselves to her wrist. Finally, Tsumugi's weapons, a pair of flensing knives appeared, and with that, she was ready.
The city became a bizarre, circus-like land, as Tsumugi ran toward the grief seed. Strings were hanging from the ceiling, each of them bearing pretty things. Jewellery, books, stuffed animals, candy, everything, it seemed, that a young girl might want.
And right in the middle, surrounded by stuffed animals, was a cheetah-like being, who was sobbing pitifully into its paws.
Tsumugi glanced down at her knives. "Well, guess this is it."
