- Part 7:
- Mifuyu: I've got your back! Yah!
- Familiar: ......
- Mifuyu: (I'm not doing anything to it...!)
- Mifuyu: Once more! Yah!
- Familiar: ......?!
- Yachiyo: Momoko! Follow up!
- Momoko: Leave it to me! Haaaah!!
- Yachiyo: Reach!
- Familiar: ......?!?!
- Yachiyo: Phew...
- Momoko: Now we can take a moment.
- Mifuyu: ...Haaaa... this is a harder fight than normal, huh?
- Yachiyo: You think so?
- Mifuyu: Yes, like I couldn't use as much magic as I thought or something...
- Yachiyo: It felt the same as always for me, though.
- Momoko: Yeah... that one wasn't really any different than what we normally fight, was it?
- Mifuyu: Huh...?
- Mifuyu: (I felt like I couldn't use the magical power that I normally do...)
- Mifuyu: (But that was only me?)
- Yachiyo: Now then, let's investigate this barrier and go collect Tsuruno and Meru.
- Tsuruno: Ah, there they are! Yachiyo-shishou! Mifuyu! Momoko!
- Meru: Geez! How terrible of you to get separated from us!
- Momoko: No, no, you were the ones who got separated!
- Yachiyo: Seriously...
- Mifuyu: Hehe, in any case, I'm glad we were able to meet back up.
- Yachiyo: We didn't find anything worthwhile. What about you?
- Meru: ...Nothing here, either.
- Tsuruno: This barrier is way too complex. We couldn't even find the inner sanctum...
- Tsuruno: It's almost like it's a whole world of reflecting mirrors.
- Yachiyo: As I thought...
- Mifuyu: What's up? Shall we exit for now?
- Yachiyo: ...Yes, we couldn't get anything out of here, anyway. Let's exit.
- Part 8:
- (A few days passed after Mifuyu and Yachiyo's group went and investigated the Central Ward.)
- (In that time, the story that Westside magical girls under Mifuyu and Yachiyo's group and Eastside magical girls had fought in the Central Ward continued to spread.)
- Yachiyo: ......
- Mifuyu: ...You seem annoyed, Yacchan.
- Yachiyo: I'm not ann-...
- Yachiyo: ...No, you're right. This deadlock has me irritated.
- Mifuyu: I'm not surprised. There's also the matter of yesterday.
- Yachiyo: ......
- ------
- Mifuyu: How was it?
- Yachiyo: Not good. Everyone's becoming desperate to get a hold of grief seeds.
- Yachiyo: There aren't many teams feeling like they can afford to give up witches to other teams.
- Mifuyu: And the team I met with was the same.
- Yachiyo: ...This is a bad situation.
- Mifuyu: Yes, if it's like this, there's not even a point to having a cooperation system...
- ???: Shut up! I don't need a reason to bother you anyway!
- Mifuyu: --?! I-is it a fight?
- Yachiyo: ...I don't like the sound of this. Let's go take a look.
- ------
- Westside Magical Girl 2: If you need a reason for me to bother you, I have one.
- Westside Magical Girl 2: It's because you guys are going to the Central Ward.
- Westside Magical Girl 2: Do you realize that you're causing trouble for everyone on the Westside by doing that?
- Westside Magical Girl 1: That's...b-but...!
- Westside Magical Girl 2: No buts! It's a rule.
- Westside Magical Girl 1: ...But I...!
- Westside Magical Girl 2: ...Sigh, you don't seem to understand what happens when you break the rules, do you?
- Westside Magical Girl 2: You were warned about this before, too, weren't you? I wonder if you even know what the phrase "reflecting on your actions" means?
- Westside Magical Girl 1: W-what's with your attitude! Are you making fun of me?!
- Yachiyo: As I thought, they're magical girls.
- Mifuyu: I recognize them, too. They're from Sankyou Ward and Sakae Ward.
- Yachiyo: Let's stop them.
- Mifuyu: Okay!
- Westside Magical Girl 1: Enough! If you obstruct me any more, I'll have to resort to force!
- Westside Magical Girl 2: ...That's fine with me. That's easier to understand, anyway!
- Yachiyo: Stop!
- Mifuyu: If you still want to pick a fight, you'll have to do it with us.
- Westside Magical Girl 1: Stay out of our business!
- Westside Magical Girl 2: That's right! Don't get in our way!
- Yachiyo: ...Then we're out of options. Mifuyu, cover me.
- Mifuyu: All right, let's be careful to avoid getting hurt.
- ------
- Westside Magical Girl 2: Haa... haa... S-so strong...
- Westside Magical Girl 1: Haa... fuu... I couldn't do any damage at all...
- Yachiyo: Have you calmed down a bit now?
- Mifuyu: ...Please tell us what the reason for your fight was.
- Westside Magical Girl 2: ......
- Westside Magical Girl 1: ......
- Yachiyo: You... if I remember right, we gave you a warning last time.
- Westside Magical Girl 1: ...Y-you did, but since then, nothing's changed at all, has it!
- Westside Magical Girl 1: You won't even say if the Central Ward will join the Westside...!
- Yachiyo: ...That's...
- Westside Magical Girl 2: Since I've got the chance, I'd like to tell you something as well.
- Westside Magical Girl 2: I've got a problem with your leadership, Yachiyo-san, since you can't even decide on a clear plan.
- Westside Magical Girl 2: It's making me wonder whether you're still fit to handle this?
- Yachiyo: ......
- Mifuyu: ......
- ------
- Yachiyo: I understand that.
- Yachiyo: That we need to hurry up and think of a plan.
- Mifuyu: And yesterday, too, our objective was to gather information from each team.
- Mifuyu: ...The results were disappointing, though...
- Yachiyo: Yes... whatever we do plan to do, I'm sure someone will come out with objections to it.
- Yachiyo: At this rate, it's possible the Westside could just collapse from the inside.
- Mifuyu: ...I agree; there aren't any defectors right now, but...
- Yachiyo: It might just be a matter of time...
- Yachiyo: Since that case of the attack in the witch barrier happened...
- Yachiyo: Even the girls who were hesitant to fight before are starting to get into it.
- Mifuyu: They think that the Central Ward should become part of the Westside.
- Mifuyu: Saying "Don't let those Eastsiders who are cowardly enough to pull a sneak attack into the Central Ward!"
- Yachiyo: ...Hypothetically, if we did what they asked and incorporated the Central Ward into the Westside...
- Yachiyo: Those girls would settle down, I imagine.
- Yachiyo: You could say that incorporating the Central Ward would be useful in a way just to suppress those girls, but...
- Mifuyu: The Eastside definitely wouldn't stay quiet would it... would they?
- Yachiyo: Yes, it's inevitable that it would cause an even bigger conflict than we have on our hands now.
- Yachiyo: And then, the site of that battle... would no doubt become the Central Ward.
- Mifuyu: And if that happened, the magical girls of the Central Ward would lose further trust in us...
- Yachiyo: Right, and the result would be just adding more fuel to the fire.
- Yachiyo: I can't say that it would be a good move to make.
- Yachiyo: Having said that, standing by doing nothing while the Eastside swarms the Central Ward is harsh.
- Yachiyo: ...It's a stalemale.
- Mifuyu: Shouldn't we try talking to Kanagi-san again?
- Mifuyu: We should at least try to cooperate so that magical girls aren't hurting each other.
- Yachiyo: Talking to Kanagi... won't work.
- Yachiyo: If we knew the identity of the original attacker, we could negotiate, but...
- Yachiyo: Talking to her as it as now would just mean a pointless argument.
- Mifuyu: ...Can't we cooperate with her?
- Yachiyo: I also don't want to have to humble myself before her any more than necessary.
- Yachiyo: Because I'm the peacekeeper for our cooperation system, I've got to think about what's best for everyone.
- Yachiyo: At the least, it'd be different if we had an official reason to contact her...
- Yachiyo: But just saying I want to cooperate with her would be impossible...
- Mifuyu: ...Then let's at least get out the warning to the Westside magical girls...
- Mifuyu: ...and tell them not to go to the Central Ward.
- Yachiyo: ...Yes, I don't expect it to be effective, but let's at least convey it as a policy of the Westside.
- Mifuyu: Okay. I hope with this, at least, fewer magical girls will get hurt.
- (However, Mifuyu's wish was fruitless...)
- (The situation continued to worsen from this point on...)
