Story
In this world, the Witch of Scarlet Dreams' magic allowed for magical girls to exist. One such magical girl is Satori Komeiji, who fights in the name of peace. But today she was enjoying some time off, playing with her Star Beasts.

The Star Beasts are magical girl Satori's familiars. Don't be fooled by their adorable appearance―they're actually noble familiars of the four guardian gods. In this world, cuteness is the source of magical power, so it's only natural that familiars are cute too. Perhaps that's why they're so incredibly popular. Of course, only their master gets the privilege of snuggling them anytime, anywhere!

A fluffy, cotton-candy-like space stretched out around Satori, colored the same soft hue as her hair. Tiny stars sparkled around her like scattered sugar crystals as she drifted along with her tiny, adorable Star Beasts.

This Satori can do more than just read minds. Her power over the stars of fate lets her read the stars themselves. Long ago, she wielded this ability to devastating effect as a monster. Now, she uses it as a magical girl. But not today. Today, she was enjoying a fleeting moment of peace. She stroked her Star Beasts to her heart's content while listening to their adorable thoughts. "Hehe! Ruu, that tickles! ...Yes, Kuu, I know. Don't worry, you're next." The Star Beasts' soft fur brushed against Satori's skin. Determined not to let even one precious moment slip away, she cherished every cuddle, every nuzzle.

Magical girls seldom get to enjoy peace. Every day, they wield the magic of cuteness to protect what matters most. To them, peace is like a dream. In dreams, there are no battles, so they can truly rest. Even the Star Beasts get to enjoy head scratches from the master they usually fight beside. But dreams never last. Sooner or later, they end. "It's over already," said Satori with a disappointed sigh. Her Star Beasts looked up at her with concern. "It's OK, Kou... Thanks for worrying about me, Buu." As she stroked them, her familiars seemed to relax. The dream was over. A new day as a magical girl had begun. Satori picked up her wand and set out to fight for her next fleeting moment of peace.
