[X] Suplex her.
You looked at the girl (?) before you and stared. She stared right back with a confused expression as you rubbed your chin. Angela was pulling you away while you noticed that tendrils of flesh were moving around you. You then frowned at the girl as she gave you a sweet smile.
Moving past her, your body emitted a sonic boom as you got behind her.
"What?" The girl blinked before you embraced her from behind. Almost immediately her form flickered and you were most definitely holding some manner of creature of eyes and flesh.
The girl flickered back as you raised her into the air while she panicked. Bending your back, Angela watched in horror as you smashed Nacht into the floor as hard as you could, performing a perfect German Suplex.
Her skirt flipped over to reveal her underwear but her body soon returned to that of a flesh monster. You buried her head deep into the floor before you moved away. The girl groaned as her appearance returned while your surroundings began to squirm.
Looking up ahead a wave of stomach acid came for you and your other Witches. Grabbing hold of Lachesis and Angela, you were both swept away by the roaring tide. A moment later, you were spat out into the desert and rolled hard.
Lachesis groaned as Nacht spat out Olga and Tatyana from her gullet much to the two Witches' chagrin. Tatyana burst to the air and shot off into the distance while Olga ran away fast uttering frustrated curses.
You coughed and hacked as Lachesis stirred awake. She quickly buried herself beneath the same, leaving you with just Angela and Nacht. You and the pixie Witch looked up at Nacht to find the mass of flesh opening its maw to reveal the girl from before. She seemed to be unconscious as she slid out of her Witch body.
Her appearance flickered from monster to cute girl but you didn't try thinking about it. When you realized that the problem was solved, you slowly but surely...
Woke up.

"Oh. Hello," the girl you recognized as Touko greeted you. A maroon haired magical girl sat by the counter with breakfast ready.
She was Sai's assistant and the magical girl assigned by the organization to bar Sanctuary. She was also a pseudo Monitor for you but she hasn't been around much given you spent so much time with Sai. She was the bar's cook and patisserie for both dinner and dessert meals.
Sai wasn't around so maybe she didn't get wasted in the bar itself. Kaito must have barred her from drinking here until she got a hold of herself.
"Hello," you greeted back as you rubbed your eyes, "Is Sai around?"
"She's running errands for Lady Fujiwara," Touko replied as she sipped her tea. You looked at the meal beside her and it seemed like they were set aside for you.
You took your seat and started eating. It was a rather extravagant western meal. Bacon and eggs with some fresh spice to the soup to your side. The bacon was cooked to a crisp while the eggs weren't over or undercooked. Not only that but you could taste the oil that was used... Olive?
You blinked before you ended up finishing your meal while Touko sipped her tea. The silence between you both bordered on awkward but you weren't bothered by it. You simply enjoyed each other's company as time passed by.
Touko set down her tea and finally spoke, glancing your way, "I will be accompanying you to your job in Sai's place. Please behave yourself."
"Do you have the details? Chise was supposed to send some to Sai," you pointed out with a raised eyebrow.
"I have them here. The car was left for our use. Are you ready?" Touko asked with a nod.
"I am. I'll be in your care," you told her with a respectful bow.
"Likewise," Touko replied with a small smile.

...
The missing girl was named Kuronami Nina. 11 years old and born at a small town by the countryside. She was supposed to be sightseeing Kyoto with her family when Magical girls descended to take her away. This happened a day ago, possibly during the entry of so many independent girls.
Touko drove the car through the streets as you went to the last location she was seen at. Inari Shrine. You grimaced as you recalled that it was the same place Yukina met her end. You're not entire comfortable going back there.
It was a half an hour drive from where you were as the shrine was neatly seated at the heart of the eastern faction's domain. Chise had cleared the area of would be thugs looking to harass you. The place was a tourist hotspot and you could see many foreigners wandering about taking pictures and such.
Touko got out of the car and looked down her phone, "This was the same parking lot the girl vanished from. I'll leave the investigation to you?"
"What do we know in terms of prospective hostiles?" You asked as you looked about.
"Give or take any entire crew of girls. They won't last long though if they mean to sustain themselves. Any big moves will attract attention," Touko said as she crossed her arms.
You frowned as you read the negative air surrounding you. You considered the location of where you were and where Chise showed up. She had been chasing the kidnappers down to the South that time.
"I would suggest that we figure out what our quarry looks like. Just so we have an idea," Touko suggested as she crossed her arms.
"Suppose we can't just ask around, don't you think?" You asked her with a frown.
"Inari shrines has visitors numbering in thousands. The number may double given it's the winter break for most schools. We can't ask everyone," Touko grimaced as she shook her head.
"I see. Then we need eyes. And there happen to be too many. The kidnappers wouldn't have used their powers openly with this many people," you guessed with a frown, "They must have used another method. Do we have any information about the parents?"
"As much as possible, we don't need their presence or input. Organization policy," Touko shrugged at you.
"They should have noticed their daughter missing. But we're up against Magical girls armed with inhuman skills and abilities," you said as you looked around. You glanced up and blinked, "Camera."
"CCTVs. They might have caught something. But even if they did, we would know," Touko pointed out with a frown.
"The parents would have gotten the shrine's cooperation and the police by now," you said with a curious look, "And what they didn't see, we won't."
"Not quite. But we should be able to see things and pick up cues they won't otherwise," Touko suggested with a nod.
"You're pretty good at this," you noted.
"Well it is my job to gather Intel. But now it's different," Touko replied as she crossed her arms, "Still consider this, they wouldn't have been able to use flashy magic. So they must have done this the more mundane way. And look around us, what do you see?"
"Cars," you replied with a curious tone.
"They could easily pull a girl in one of them and use minimum magic to not get noticed," Touko said with a small smile. She glanced at the vehicles, "And we're right about one thing. Cameras. We may not be able to find the culprits of evidence of their movement but we should be able to figure something out. A footage is better than none at all."
"Where do they usually keep them?" You asked with a raised eyebrow.
"The security office... Lucky for you, I'm a pretty sneaky Shinobi," Touko winked as she walked past you, "Stay in the car, I'll be back."
"I'll have a look some more," you told her as she transformed behind your car and vanished. She turned into a shadow and slipped through shades.
Well then... Looks like you're on your own.
.....

...
You were dozing off. Touko was sure taking her time. You looked at the people walking around and frowned. So many humans. All in one place. The air was thick with negativity even as they smiled. Husbands cheating on their wives, wives thinking nasty thoughts about others, children thinking of how to bully the weak, employees badmouthing their superiors and Bosses looking down on the peons. It was annoying.
Humans.
They were disgusting.
KNOCK
KNOCK
You looked up out the window of the car and frowned. There was no one there. Opening the door, you got out and looked around. Touko wasn't around either, you couldn't sense her-
"Hello," a young woman greeted you.
Your fist flew and stopped inches away from her cheek. A blow that would have ripped off her jaw stopped by your instincts. You stepped back and frowned. A girl about Sai's age stood before you wearing a fashion winter outfit smiled at you.
You noted the bauble earring she had on her right ear as she had her hands in her coat pockets. She met your gaze with her green eyes, a lighter color of her dark green hair tied into a ponytail behind her.
"I... Hello?" You greeted with an uncertain tone.
"It's nice to meet you. I'm an Envoy from Tokyo and I believe you're an acquaintance of one Uchida Yuri?" The Envoy smiled as she looked at you.
Tokyo? She knows Yuri? You frowned.
"I haven't been able to get in touch with her. However if you meet her, please let her know that we will be able to provide her with safe haven following her... Excommunication," the Envoy replied with a bright tone as she handed you a business card, "Our group is always looking for promising talents, especially one of her caliber."
"You... You're the ones that cornered her," you murmured as you stared at her.
"It's a misunderstanding. We helped her realize her wish. Thus it is in her effort that you came to be, isn't that right, Walpurgis?" The Envoy said as she stuck the business car to Sai's car.
"You still want her," you noted with a narrowed look.
"We're always expecting good talent. Especially one capable of implanting five Grief Seeds upon a human body... And giving it a mind of its own. Yuri will be living better and treated better under our care. Wouldn't you agree?" The Envoy said as she patted your shoulder.
"And if she refuses?" You asked with a dangerous tone.
"Well that's on her. A shame, we would have liked it if we can work closer together. She's a genius, much like her sister was... Just in a different angle," the Envoy replied as she walked past you, "You're free to come if you so desire."
Gloom Holiday
[] Attack her. She hurt Yuri. She and her people caused Yuri grief and will do so again. Crush her.
[] "I don't like you or your people. You may speak of benefits for Yuri but you haven't gained any favors from me. So stay away or I'll kill you."
[] Say nothing. Do nothing and wait for her to leave. You better go find Touko after this and report who you just met.
