- Mifuyu: ...Let's get out the warning to the Westside magical girls and tell them not to go to the Central Ward.
- (A few days had passed since Mifuyu and Yachiyo had given the warning "not to go to the Central Ward"...)
- Eastside Magical Girl: Get out of here before you get hurt, you sheltered little prisses!
- Westside Magical Girl: You're the one who'd better get out of here.
- Westside Magical Girl: This area is controlled by our team now!
- Eastside Magical Girl: Don't think you can just decide that for yourselves!!
- Eastside Magical Girl: Oraa!!
- Westside Magical Girl: Ow! Don't think we're just gonna stand by and take this!! Haaaa!!
- (However, the magical girls causing conflicts in the Central Ward ignored the warning...)
- (And the conflicts between the Westside Magical Girls and the Eastside Magical Girls grew more and more violent by the day...)
- Tsuruno: This is big trouble! There's been another casualty!
- Tsuruno: Not just on our side, but on the Eastside as well! And I heard the Central Ward girls are getting involved, too!
- Yachiyo: Again?!
- (Thud!)
- Tsuruno: Wah!
- Yachiyo: What is it this time?! Even though we warned them so much not to go to the Central Ward...!
- Mifuyu: Yacchan, calm down. We've got to stay composed.
- Yachiyo: ......
- Yachiyo: I'm sorry. I'm going to go cool off for a bit.
- Mifuyu: Yes, I think that's smart.
- Tsuruno: ...I've never seen Yachiyo so upset like that before... is there a hole in the desk?
- Mifuyu: The desk is fine. I'm more worried about Yacchan's hand.
- Tsuruno: Oh...
- Mifuyu: ...I understand Yacchan's feelings.
- Mifuyu: There's nothing we can do...
- Mifuyu: Even I didn't think they'd ignore our warning so completely...
- Tsuruno: ...Say, would it really be so hard to cooperate with Kanagi?
- Mifuyu: Yes... we don't have anything to negotiate with...
- Mifuyu: It'd be good if we at least knew who perpetrated the original attack...
- Tsuruno: ...The original attacker, huh?
- Tsuruno: If that attack hadn't happened, this conflict wouldn't have gotten out of control as fast as it did.
- Tsuruno: Which means it could be someone who stands to benefit from fanning the flames like this.
- Mifuyu: Someone who stands to benefit...? From magical girls hurting each other?
- Tsuruno: Or from deepening the conflict so that both the West and East collapse, maybe?
- Tsuruno: We keep thinking about someone from the inside...
- Tsuruno: But could it be someone not from Kamihama City? Like someone who wants to have Kamihama!
- Tsuruno: Maybe that, or... it could be the doing or a witch or something!
- Tsuruno: Well? Well? Isn't that an incredible deduction?
- Mifuyu: ......
- Mifuyu: ...Heh heh, you're right.
- Tsuruno: Mifuyu, I think it's better if you smile.
- Tsuruno: ...Though with this situation, that's probably something I shouldn't be saying.
- Mifuyu: That's right, though. I can't let my spirits sink.
- Mifuyu: ...Tsuruno-san, I'm going to head out, so I want you to take care of Yacchan.
- Mifuyu: Please listen to her.
- Tsuruno: Wha-! Where are you going?
- Mifuyu: To the Central Ward, because I've been called out by a certain person.
- Tsuruno: ...Will you be okay going alone?
- Mifuyu: Yes, she's a reasonable person, so it's not going to turn into some sort of showdown or anything.
- ------
- Mifuyu: ...Huh?
- Mifuyu: T-that's...!
- Central Ward Magical Girl: ......
- Mifuyu: Are you okay?! Keep it together!
- Central Ward Magical Girl: ...Uuu...
- Mifuyu: (She's unconscious, but she's still breathing...)
- Mifuyu: (What terrible wounds... and her soul gem is so dirty...)
- Mifuyu: (She needs to be tended to and purified...)
- Mifuyu: ...Haa, now she just needs to regain consciousness...
- Mifuyu: (I haven't seen her around, so that means she's either an Eastsider... or a Central Ward girl.)
- Mifuyu: (...What's happened...? I hate to say it, but...)
- Central Ward Magical Girl: ...Uuu... I-I...
- Mifuyu: Thank goodness. You're awake.
- Central Ward Magical Girl: Kyaaaa?! A-Azusa Mifuyu?!
- Mifuyu: Huh? P-please take a moment to calm down!
- Central Ward Magical Girl: I-it really is...!
- Central Ward Magical Girl: The Westside really is coming to drive the Central Ward magical girls out!
- Mifuyu: ......
- Mifuyu: Please calm down. I didn't come here to add to your problems.
- Central Ward Magical Girl: Liar! I was just attacked by a Westside girl...!
- Central Ward Magical Girl: I'd just found that territory, too, and I was driven out of it...
- Central Ward Magical Girl: I hate this... I've had enough of this... nobody is honoring their pacts!
- Central Ward Magical Girl: Why does all of this have to happen to me...?!
- Mifuyu: (So Westside magical girls really are breaking the pact and doing this to the Central Ward girls...)
- Mifuyu: (Even though I came here to have a discussion, I've got another problem big enough to give me a headache here...)
- Mifuyu: (No, first I've got to calm this down girl and get her to go back home.)
- ------
- Hinano: ...So you've come.
- Mifuyu: I apologize for being late. I ran into a bit of trouble...
- Mifuyu: I'm glad you decided to meet with me again, Hinano-san.
- Hinano: ...I didn't want to meet you like this.
- Mifuyu: ...It's about the Central Ward, isn't it?
- Hinano: Yeah, when we met before, you said...
- Hinano: "We respect the territory of the Central Ward magical girls," didn't you?
- Mifuyu: ...Yes.
- Hinano: I believed what you said. I believed you!
- Hinano: But what's the situation now?
- Hinano: We've got people injured after being caught up in battles, and we've got people driven out of their territories, as well!
- Hinano: Where's the respect you talked about...?!
- ------
- Central Ward Magical Girl: I'd just found that territory, too, and I was driven out of it...
- Central Ward Magical Girl: I hate this... I've had enough of this... nobody is honoring their pacts!
- ------
- Mifuyu: (There's nothing I can say in response...)
- Hinano: Here in the Central Ward right now, there are many on both the Westside and the Eastside...
- Hinano: ...thinking only about how they can exploit the Central Ward.
- Hinano: Everyone can't stand being caught up in the battles between the West and the East.
- Hinano: At this point, I wouldn't be surprised if there were people willing to start going kamikaze...
- Mifuyu: That's...!
- Mifuyu: That's terrible!
- Mifuyu: To have become so desperate that they'd consider such a thing...
- Hinano: ...We're expecting it at this point.
- Hinano: Those who have been cornered...
- Hinano: If they're going to keep being tyrannized like this, then they may be thinking...
- Hinano: ...it might be preferable.
- Mifuyu: Hinano-san, we'll definitely reach a resolution to this situation.
- Mifuyu: So please wait just a little bit longer!
- Hinano: And what do you accomplish by telling me that? I'm not the one who can't wait.
- Mifuyu: ...Ah...
- Hinano: ...Besides, I have no proof that I can just believe you.
- Hinano: ...Mifuyu-san, you've got more experience than I do.
- Hinano: I know well that you're someone who understands the pain of others.
- Hinano: But you've got no way to settle this, do you?
- Hinano: So no matter how much we wait, this situation won't get resolved.
- Hinano: Am I wrong?
- Mifuyu: (I've got nothing I can say to her pointing that out... but...)
- Hinano: Frankly, I'm tired of waiting. I told myself if it's Mifuyu-san, it'll work...
- Hinano: When your team came to the Central Ward and asked to talk...
- Hinano: I honestly expected to hear you ask us to join your cooperation system.
- Hinano: Speaking personally, that it was coming from the West...
- Hinano: I was confident...
- Hinano: That you'd treat the magical girls of the Central Ward as equals.
- Hinano: ...And yet this is the result!
- Hinano: Even though I don't rely on anyone...
- Hinano: I... as a veteran, I should have been more reliable!
- Hinano: ...... ...I apologize for speaking carelessly.
- Hinano: ...It's not like there's anything I can do about it either...
- Mifuyu: (Hinano-san... I've ended up betraying your trust...)
- Mifuyu: (...Whether or not I win back your trust, I've got to take responsibility for this.)
- Mifuyu: (...I can't depend on the good graces of others; I'm a peacekeeper after all...)
- Mifuyu: ...We will handle this situation.
- Mifuyu: We will definitely do it... before anything happens that can't be undone...
- Hinano: ...... ...You've got no basis for that belief, don't you?
- Mifuyu: I don't.
- Mifuyu: But I...
- Mifuyu: ...As a peacekeeper of the Westside, it's something that I've got to do.
- Hinano: ......
- Mifuyu: I don't blame you if you can't believe what I'm about to say.
- Mifuyu: But please lend me your assistance.
- Hinano: ......
- Mifuyu: Please stop the Central Ward magical girls from going berserk.
- Mifuyu: The end of this will come soon, so please handle it until then.
- Mifuyu: Please stop the Central Ward girls from ruining themselves.
- Hinano: ...That was always my plan.
- Hinano: I'm not a peacekeeper or anything, so I don't know how much I'll be able to do.
- Hinano: But I'm a magical girl of the Central Ward. I'll do what I can do.
- Hinano: That's something I've got to do as well.
- Mifuyu: Thank you very much.
- Hinano: ...Please give me actions instead of words.
- Hinano: Because... that's what I'll be doing, too.
- Mifuyu: Yes, definitely.
- Mifuyu: (As a peacekeeper of the Westside, my top priority should be the welfare of the Westside.)
- Mifuyu: (Yacchan, I understand that.)
- Mifuyu: (But before that, I am a magical girl of Kamihama.)
- Mifuyu: (A magical girl of Kamihama must think of the welfare of all of the magical girls of Kamihama.)
- Mifuyu: (I just pray that there are no more injuries from these pointless battles...)
- Mifuyu: (As a veteran and as someone with power, I can't let myself depend on others.)
- Mifuyu: ...Kanagi-san's cooperation will be essential.
- Mifuyu: (This is a problem that both the Westside and the Eastside have in common, after all...)
- Mifuyu: (This isn't the time for the people at the top to be quarreling.)
- Mifuyu: (I'll discuss this with Yacchan, and we'll try to find a path toward being able to cooperate.)
- ------
- Part 10:
- Yachiyo: ...I see. So Miyako-san said that...
- Mifuyu: Yes, and we don't have a moment to lose.
- Mifuyu: We need to get the Central Ward in order at least before any more casualties happen.
- Yachiyo: And, to do that...
- Mifuyu: Yes. Cooperating with Kanagi-san will be essential.
- Meru: Nanami-senpai! Mifuyu-san! Listen!
- Yachiyo: Meru! You're here early... we're in the middle of a very important conversation right now and...
- Meru: But! Kanagi-san is being awful!
- Meru: She wouldn't believe me! She said I attacked someone!
- Yachiyo: What?
- Mifuyu: ...Can you please tell us the story from the beginning?
- ------
- Kanagi: Anna, may I have a moment?
- Meru: Er, will it take long?
- Meru: I want to go over to Nanami-senpai's today.
- Kanagi: Did you go to the Central Ward yesterday?
- Meru: The Central Ward? No, I didn't.
- Meru: I had supplemental lessons yesterday, so I couldn't leave Daitou Ward.
- Meru: And really, it's awful!
- Meru: Just because I missed a few days of school means I have to spend all my time after school in supplementary lessons.
- Kanagi: ...Is there someone that can verify that?
- Meru: You could ask the teacher, and he'll tell you.
- Meru: He was standing guard over me the whooooooole time so I wouldn't run away.
- Kanagi: ...Come with me.
- Meru: Wha-?! What is this about?!
- Kanagi: We're going to the teachers' office.
- Meru: I wanna go to Nanami-senpai's!
- ------
- Kanagi: ...So it was true.
- Meru: Um, I'd really like an explanation for this about now...
- Kanagi: Hm?
- Kanagi: Ahh, right...
- Kanagi: There's a magical girl that says you attacked her in the Central Ward yesterday, Anna.
- Meru: Whaaa-?! I-it wasn't me!
- Kanagi: I know that.
- Kanagi: It's just that the girl who was attacked...
- Kanagi: ..said she saw you and you said "I'm your enemy!"
- Meru: It wasn't me!
- Kanagi: I know!
- Kanagi: If it was, I'd be punishing you right now.
- Meru: Err! W-who was it?! Who was this coward who used my name!
- Kanagi: If I knew that I wouldn't have a problem.
- Kanagi: ...Really though, this situation has become way more complex than I thought...
