Information for Information. Seems like a good deal. You nod at the girl in white. "Sure."
"Excellent." She seems to relax just a bit so you lower your hands to your sides. "I am Oriko Mikuni. It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance." You have no idea what acquaintance means.
"Tatsuya. Just Tatsuya."
Oriko raises an eyebrow at that. "Alright Mr. 'Just-Tatsuya'. Let's start with the basics shall we." Other than the slight sarcasm when she called you "Just-Tatsuya" she maintains a polite, pleasant tone of voice. "What are you doing here?"
"I'm hunting the Devil."
"The Devil?" Oriko asks, sounding skeptical.
"It's what I call her. I don't know her actual name. She's a Magical Girl who is obsessed with my sister. I plan on hunting her down and killing her to protect my sister."
"This Devil… is she dangerous?"
"Yes." All Magical Girls are dangerous. "She's going to grow more powerful. I need to kill her before this happens."
Oriko takes a moment to think about your answer before asking her next question. "And how do you intend to find her, if you don't know who she is?"
"I'll know her when I find her."
Oriko doesn't seem to quite accept that answer but she doesn't press you on it. Instead, she switches topics. "How did you get your magic? I know Kyubey only makes contracts with girls so who gave you yours?"
You pause for a second to think of an answer. Explaining Ryubey requires knowing what the incubators are and you don't know how much she knows. You could just make something up but you're not sure you can come up with something convincing on the fly. So instead you do what you did earlier and just provide some of the story.
"Ryubey. He's a rogue incubator. He doesn't obey their rules. I don't really know why he gave me these powers."
Oriko stops for a while, likely trying to figure out if what you said could be true. You don't know if she believes you but she does keep asking you questions so that good, you guess. "And what exactly are your powers?"
You frown. You don't want to reveal what you can do to a potential enemy. You suppose you can say something without really saying anything. "I don't know all of them. I'm still starting out."
Oriko actually smiles at that. She seems satisfied with your answer, oddly enough, just not in the way you thought she would be. She's not happy that you're weak, she's happy because of something else? Whatever, she's just weird. Anyway, you don't have the time to puzzle out the behavior of odd girls, she's asking another question. "I have one final question. Do you intend harm to anyone other then the Devil?"
"I intend harm to anyone who threatens my sister." For some reason, you think of Mami as well as Madoka when answering the question. "Same with anyone who wants to hurt my friends."
Oriko nods and smiles gently at you. "Very well then. Mr. Tatsuya, I've asked all the questions I have. You may ask me what you wish."
