SFX:    grab

Ka: Huh!?

           Shocked at herself, she escapes from everyone, and wanders around until she meets someone...?

Ka: Huh!?

De: What are you doing?
    It's dangerous out here, you know?
Chapter 16 "Strawberry Risotto"

===========Page 2===========

Ka: !!
    The detective from back then

De: !
    Weren't you involved that bomb scare...?
SFX:    pour...
Ka: S-Sorry about that

Ka: ...Ms. Detective,
    is your body
    alright?

De: Me?
    I haven't gotten hurt or sick recently

Ka: I see, so Umika used her magic
    to erase all memories about witches
    from Mr. Tachibana and her mind.

===========Page 3===========

De: Anyways, come with me
    You'll catch a cold here

SFX:    pour...

Ka: Missing girls?

De: Yes
    More than 20 in the last few months
    These girls had neither behavioral problems
    nor reasons to run away from home

Case Files

Ka: !

Ka: Airi!!

===========Page 4===========

De: We still don't know for sure,
    but my guts tell me that there aren't usual cases
    Something is out there hunting for girls

SFX:    flip flip
Ka: !

Files:  Mysterious message logs
        Hyades?
Ka: Hyades

De: The name of seven sisters from Greek mythology
SFX:    shock

De: A few of the missing girls left behind their cell phones
    The logs of their mail accounts
    included messages sent from the "Hyades"

===========Page 5===========

Ka: Did the culprit send them?

De: I don't know
    The messages were deleted,
    and the phone company had no records of the account
    Have you ever received a chain mail from an address like that?

Ka: ...
    No
De: I see
    By the way...

De: Have you
    gotten you memories back?

Ka: Memories
    Reanimate Michiru-chan's body...
    Clones made from witches...

===========Page 6===========

Ka: I don't have
    any memories

SFX:    drip
        drip
De: Kazumi?

Ka: Ms. Detective, I don't have anything
    No memories, no home, no friends
    Nothing

Ka: WAHHHHHHHHHHHH
SFX:    brake
De: !?

===========Page 8===========

Ka: Zzz...

De: ...

Ta: Here
SFX:    clink
De: Thanks

SFX:    slurp
De: !

Ta: I put a pat of butter in the coffee.
    The idea may have came from a popular manga,
    but it really does give you power

===========Page 9===========

De: ...

SFX:    rustle

SFX:    slide...
De: She was my best friend from middle school
    Remi Shiina

De: In our third year,
    she suddenly disappeared
    I've never found out what happened to her

Ta: Is that why you're so passionate about looking for lost girls...

De: She was a really good girl
    There were no leads...

===========Page 10===========

De: No
    There was one clue

De: Mr. Tachibana, do you believe in magic?

De: Magical girls
    Remi became a magical girl and fought witches that bring upon disaster to this world
    That's what Remi's sister, who was three at the time, said

===========Page 11===========

Ta: Magical girls...
SFX:    Hmm...

De: Of course, no one else believe it
    But I've found many things that can only be explained by magic in my investigations

De: My bosses laughed at me,
    but there are pieces of evidence that cannot be explained by modern science!!
SFX:    BANG
        CLANK

De: Sorry, I couldn't help myself

Ta: No
    Why are you telling me this?

===========Page 12===========

De: ...
    Remi loved it too
    The manga in which they put butter in coffee...

Ta: !

Ta: ...Neither you nor I can explain the coincidences
    that have brought Kazumi and this coffee here

Ta: Then wouldn't it be fine
    to believe in magic and miracles?

===========Page 13===========

SFX:    pour

===========Page 14===========

SFX:    thud thud
Ta: Good morning

Ta: Want something to eat?
Ka: I'm not hungry

Ta: Don't hold back, okay
Ka: I'm not... Thank you...
SFX:    creak

Ta: It's been a week
    For how long do you plan to run away?
Ka: ...

Ta: Jeez...
SFX:    rustle

===========Page 15===========

SFX:    plop

Ta: A girl named Kaoru left this here
    Even though I didn't tell her anything,
    she told me to give this to you

Ka: Michiru's diary...?
SFX:    flip...

[recipe from Grandma's Strawberry Risotto]

Ka: Is this Yuuri?
    We'd met before I met everyone else?

===========Page 16===========

SFX:    flip

[First paragraph in diary is the same as narration]
Ka: ...I can't believe this.  I don't want to believe that magical girls turn into witches.
    If I had knew, I wouldn't have been so happy to turn everyone into magical girls.

Diary:  Sorry, everyone

SFX:    slip

===========Page 17===========

Kr: Kazumi
    As you can see from the diary, Michiru was a really good girl
    We created artificial magical girls
    because we just wanted to have Michiru back

Kr: Even though we've failed many times, hurt you, and got Satomi killed,
    we've decided to try again one more time

Kr: This means that we'll erase you, Kazumi

Kr: But I think that Kazumi and Michiru are not the same

===========Page 18===========

Kr: The battles we fought together
    and the tears you shed
    belong to you

Kr: Your life also belongs to you

Kr: So run away, Kazumi

Kr: You don't have to believe me
    Even if I have to kill the others,
    I'll protect you, Kazumi

Kr: This is my answer to the questions
    you asked with tears running down your cheeks on that day

===========Page 19===========

Kr: --Kaoru Maki

Ka: Kaoru...

Ka: Mr. Tachibana
    On second thought, I want something to eat
Ta: Huh?
Ka: Please make strawberry risottos with me

Ta: Strawberry risotto?
    I don't have strawberries...
Ka: They're in the fridge

Ta: How do you...
SFX:    open

===========Page 20===========

Ka: Isn't it amazing?
    I can use magic

Ta: ...
    No, wait

Ta: You asked the grocer to let you try some yesterday, didn't you?
    What magic?
Ka: Teehee
    You got me

===========Page 21===========

Ka: Here I go~~~

Ka: Delicious~~~
    Grandma's recipe is the best!!
SFX:    munch munch

Ka: How is it, Mr. Tachibana?
Ta: Hm, I've never tried this before, but it's good
    Have you made this before?

Ka: Never
    Oh yea, you made the first meal
    that I ever eaten, Mr. Tachibana

Ta: Oh really...

Ta: "First meal"?

===========Page 22===========

Ka: Your beef stroganoff was delicious
    I wanted to try
    other kinds of food

Ta: ...?
Ka: Thanks for the meal!

Ka: Then,
    I'll be going
SFX:    clatter

Ta: Kazumi?

===========Page 23===========

Ka: Mr. Tachibana,
    thank you

Ka: Thank you for everything

SFX:    clang...

===========Page 24===========

Ka: Everyone,
    can you hear me?
SFX:    ding

:   !!

Ka: I've decided to stop running away

Kr: Dammit

===========Page 25===========

Ka: Let's settle this
    Come to the freezer right away

Ka: Everyone must come
    Otherwise, I'll break the seal on these Soul Gems

SFX:    splash

===========Page 26===========

Ka: and turn all of the magical girls
    into witches at the same time
