Odds are good. I'd guess Homura simply never had the ability to straight out exterminate every witch.
If nothing else, an abundance of grief seeds and the resultant teamwork practice would be good for our side.

It's way too soon to be leaving her a blushing, lovestruck mess calling Homura her Onee-sama. That's something we should leave for our third date at the very least!

I suppose that could work.

You joke, but going by what we've seen so far I wouldn't be surprised if Nyarlathotep showed up. Or if Yog-Sothoth came to see how his goddaughter is doing.

Isn't the actual date May 1st?

That doesn't change our response much, because we haven't revealed anything about Walpurgisnacht yet. It just means we'll have to suggest we purge the witches before May 1st once we do reveal our "hunch" that Wally is going to arrive on our fair city.

Planning for early May means the timetable will be different. Because it will take time to hunt all of the witches in the territory even with the added help.
If said added help can be gathered in time if we don't insinuate some way to accelerate the timetable. Its a great scale plan you know, if we just drop the bomb close to the date then how can we guarantee they wont cut their losses and run?

"I would be amenable to it, but I do not have the authority to speak on behalf of all of Mitakihara's Magi. If you give me time to meet up with and speak to them, I will see if we can arrange something. With this rising tide of Witches, we may need the help." You pause, "Particularly if it implies something greater, as I am beginning to suspect."
Her jaw tightens, "What exactly do you mean by worse?"
"A source, or at least a cause. This is not normal, as you know. I need to look into it further to say anything definite, though."
Her lips tighten into a thin line as she glares at you, "If there's something else, I need to know. My…" She cuts off for a moment before continuing, "My employees might be in danger."
You shake your head and lie smoothly, "I don't know. There's no way this is natural, though."
Her hands tighten into fists on her desk, but, nodding with a grimace, she accepts your answer, "Fine. Let me know as soon as you find anything out, though. Here, have my contact info." She flicks her desk--a touchscreen, much like the table from before--and slides a file over to you, "I'm going to be out of town for the next week or two; I have business to attend to back in the states. You can reach me via email easily enough, but please don't call me during the day; I'll have meetings to attend."
With that, she turns her chair away, waving you off. Recognizing the rather rude dismissal for what it is, you stand to depart, only for her to jerk as you do so, spinning back around. She raises a hand, gesturing for you to stop, "Wait! No!"
You exchange glances briefly with the still-seated Ruki, then look back to her as she nearly sputters out her next words, "Wait. Please. I'm sorry, it's just…the job, you know? Have to be professional, have to keep my cool, have to…you get it, right?"
You sort of do, admittedly. Although the madness of the Akemi offers you a certain shelter from social graces, you're at least passingly familiar with the pressures put upon young heirs--your train of thought crashes suddenly, as you suddenly recall something from many, many years ago, before the loops.
It was a small gathering of society's elites and their children; your Grandfather had insisted upon bringing you, in spite of your health, so that you could "make friends you own age" and "show them the glory of the Akemi." You, in hindsight, are not entirely sure your Grandfather understood how normal friendships worked.
Regardless of that, though, you do remember a few things. Not much--faces, a few brief moments, and a lot of children trying very hard to be adults. It is, honestly, not much of a memory worth having.
Except for one simple issue; you have two different memories of it. In one, you are one of seventeen children; in the other, you are one of twenty, and one of those three additional children is now sitting across from you.
You feel a growing chill, your mind whirling with the implications of that memory as you scramble to understand how this is possible, and what it means.
Across from you, Snow goes on, "…so, how about we go have ice cream together sometime after I get back? When I have time off, and I can let my hair dow…umm, Homura? Are you okay? You're looking as pale as me."
You blink twice, trying to focus back on the moment, as you look at the paradox across from you.
The name falls from your lips before you can stop it, "Weiss."
She flinches, eyes widening, "So…you remember, huh? I had hoped…" She sighs heavily, looking away from you, "Look, I'm not a Schnee anymore, and I'm not Weiss either. Just Snow, so…don't tell anyone, please?"
You nod, having no real reason to object for the moment; you have much bigger concerns than her cutting ties with her family, after all. Like the fact you have childhood memories that shouldn't exist, for example, or the fact that she apparently remembers you, too.
She nods to herself at your responds, "Good. Good. Umm…like I was saying, though. Ice cream. Soon. Next time I'm in town. We can talk about, uh…something. Not politics." She gives you what is clearly her best approximation of a bright, honest smile. It's a pretty bad impression, but you understand the sentiment, at least.

*Sigh* Seriously, at least we'll have people to talk to when it goes low enough I guess?
Homura: "I'm literally hundreds of years old. How the fuck am I still getting childhood memories back!? Why are they wrong!? Argh!"

Homura: *glares* "... Are you the real one or the hallucination?"

Thinking this or something. Make sure the new timeline memory isn't even more different from what we remember now and tentative agreement cause why not? Also she might run into some more issues since she looks like a Mami type. We really don't need more Witches.

Rejoice, Homura. You now have childhood friends! Estranged childhood friends you've just met again after spending years apart! Estranged childhood friends whom you've just met again after spending years apart and who are nose-deep in the same supernatural business as you!
Ain't it great?

I'm now waiting to find out who the other two are and what kind of supernatural messes they're stuck in up to their eyes.
Or how horribly they died in the time since Homura came back. Cause that's probably a thing.
Also, still need to have our gun duel with Mami since that other girl interrupted our earlier one.
I'm hoping Len isn't important too, since she seemed to have been generated as an encounter by a nat 100. Ugh, so much to keep track of.
Homura's going to break through the forth wall to strangle Higure at the rate this is going.

Homura's dual childhood memories are caused by the fractures in the boundaries between worlds, which were first noticed in this loop, modifying her past.
