I guess without the BURN sisters, things have quieted down a bit. There's two more new characters, but they don't really add anything to the story.

Bonuses are pencil sketch under front cover, letter from author on back, two more chapters from Sae Amatsu's earlier work, color first four pages and a summary page.

30. さよなら、魔女の修行は１年限り (Goodbye, The Magical Girl's Training is Limited to One Year): Chelsea has to go back to her home country, so the family throws a going away party for her. Since Daisy is her cat, she has to go back too. However, 3 days later, Chelsea reappears because Daisy made a huge ruckus back home.

31. 約束 (Promise): Two girls show up on day, the gentle 皐月姫 (Princess Satsuki) and her violent maid 鏡円 (Madoka Kagami). The princesses tells Kazuya that they're fiances and are going to be married. Of course, this is a surprise to everyone, including Kazuya. His mom explains that this is true, in that a long long time ago, their relationship was bound. However, she didn't expect her to follow up on it. In any case, Kazuya doesn't accept it and later he finds out that the princess is actually the maid and vice versa.

32. 揺れる心にふれて (Reaching the Wavering Heart): Maya is having angst again because she can't get herself to confess to Kazuya. He knows she has to since he saw her naked, but it takes a whole lot of courage for her to finally utter the words.

33. 大ギャンブル祭 (Big Gambling Fest): It's a rainy day outside and so the family plays some games like Mahjong and poker. Kurusu loses everything, including her clothing.

34. とめられぬ想い (Unstoppable Memories): Now it's Chelsea's turn to confess as she's bothered by it. However, before she can, Kazuya passes out from a fever. As Maya is caring for him, Kotono almost catches them kissing.

35. 葛藤 (Conflict): Hina is feeling out of the loop as all of the other girls have confessed to Kazuya. She consults Ren, but her senior is of no help. She then talks to Kazuya's mom who tells her about Kazuya's twin sister who died at birth and how Hina is like a surrogate daughter.

36. 自分が決めた自分の道 (I Decided On My Own Path): Ren has come to invite Kazuya to go to the Nation of Light, i.e. land of the Guardian Hearts. Despite Hina's objections, she lets him go. While he's away, a strong enemy appears and almost defeats Hina before Guardian Kazuya shows up and wins. Hina feels like she's failed. In her relief, she hugs and kisses Kazuya.

37. 未来に幸あらん事を (The Unfortunate Thing in the Future): Oto and the girls talk about first kisses and nice bodies.
