    • "Mami-onee-chan," I look up after eating some of the delicious pancakes. "What are we doing today?"

    "I plan on doing some grocery shopping," she puts a hand to her chin.

    "Oh, can I go?" grocery shopping is a lot of fun. Especially with company.

    Mami-onee-chan quirks her brow, "You want to go somewhere along the way?"

    Did she see right through me? Of course she did, she's practically an adult. I nod, "I wanted to stop by the park. Is that okay?"

    "It's fine since it's not very far," Mami-onee-chan starts digging in. "Anything else?"

    "I asked about Onee-chan yesterday... have you heard anything?"

    "It's only been a day," a light chuckle. "If she comes around, the uncouth girl will just barge right in."

    "Don't call Onee-chan uncouth," I stuff some pancake into my mouth and chew. I say that but I don't really believe it. She does have a tendency to be a bit rude... not to me, though, but to Mami-onee-chan. Next time I'll do my best to make her apologize.

    "Sorry."

    "It's okay," can't stay mad! I start feeding Kyubey the rest of the second pancake I didn't finish. He makes his 'kyuu' sounds while chewing. It's really cute so I have to restrain myself from hugging him.

    "Don't feed him too much."

    "Okay!" I do as instructed. When the plate is empty, I take it over to the sink.

    "Momo," Kyubey speaks while he jumps off my shoulder to the counter top near the faucet.

    "What is it?"

    "Have you ever considered becoming a magical girl?"

    [_] "Not at all. Humans don't have a right to play God, I don't think..."
    [_] "I don't need a wish granted. Thanks anyway, Kyubey."
    [_] "I promised Onee-chan I would live a normal life. Sorry."
    [_] "I have but... I don't know where to even begin."

    How much do we know about the magical girl system, especially as it pertains to grief seeds, dying, and territory that MGs need/claim.

    You know it isn't all sunshine and rainbows since you've lived with Mami for a year and all the crap that went down with your family. You know that magical girls fight over territory, they need to destroy witches, and that Mami is a different sort of magical girl.

    Ouch. ;_;
     
    [x] I have, but...I don't even know where to begin.
    -[x] And besides, Papa didn't like Onee-chan becoming a magical girl.

    I don't want to rule out either path quite yet. Being a magical girl ourselves could make this quest a lot more fun, even if it makes things harder on us. Let's hedge our bets and keep our options open.

    Still leaves the possibility that we'll run into a situation like "make a contract or Onee-chan dies", which technically isn't forcing us into a contract since despair is nonlethal to regular humans.

    Still, we'll deal with that option if it ever occurs. In the meantime, let's not send Kyubei away so that we can keep the option if we need it.

    • "Da-... Papa didn't like Onee-chan becoming a magical girl," the memory is still there. I cried earlier this morning so I have to be strong now. "I've thought about it, but... I don't believe we have the right to play God. Papa and God wouldn't like it," I look at Kyubey with a smile.

    "I see. I can't force you," he playfully scratches his ear while hopping off of the counter top. "If you ever change your mind, I'll be here."

    I nod.

    "Kyubey," Mami-onee-chan gives a scary look to me then to Kyubey.

    "What is it, Mami?"

    "Don't pressure her. Girl's don't like it when boys are pushy."

    "He understands," I bend down to pet Kyubey on the back. I end up pulling him up into my arms while walking over to the table. I sit down to watch Mami-onee-chan eat.

    "Momo-chan, it's not polite to watch someone..."

    "Ah, sorry, you just looked so beautiful."

    "We're already going to the park. You don't have to flatter me," the dishes go into the sink and Mami-onee-chan comes back. "We ready to go?"

    "I am," Kyubey climbs up onto my shoulder while I sit up.

    "Did you brush your teeth and take a bath?"

    "I did last night."

    "That's not good enough," she pats me on the head. "A young lady has to keep up appearances. What if you catch the eye of a nice boy?"

    "What about you?" I haven't seen Mami-onee-chan with any boys. I think that's weird since she's a growing girl.

    "U-uh," her face goes a bit red. Is it really that embarassing? "It's nothing like that. I can't. Between school and hunting witches, I don't have the time for that sort of thing."

    I frown, "No time to yourself? Am I a burden too?"

    "No, not at all," she pats me on the head then takes my hand. "We'll get you a bath when we get back."

    "Okay," I sigh.

    Mitakihara - Corner Market


    We live close to corner stores so walking from the apartment isn't a big deal at all. I'm actually allowed to run out and buy small things if Mami-onee-chan is busy cooking. I've been here so many times that I know the lady that runs the small store! Her name is Granny. At least that's what she told me to call her. She's just a few centimeters taller than me with a hunched back. She always has her hair down and enjoys wearing sundresses. As soon as we walk through the doubled-doors, I catch the scent of fried dough from upstairs.

    "Mami-onee-" I'm about to talk. Cut off.

    "Ah, Tomoe-san," the cheerful owner walks on out to greet us. "What brings you here today?"

    "I'm just picking up a few things. We won't be long."

    "Take your time," Granny walks around the countertop. "Ah, Momo-chan, I'm baking some cookies if you want some."

    "I can smell it!" I like sweet things and I like Granny's cooking. "A-and I just ate. I can't have anything else."

    "Are you sure?" she tilts her head. It's tempting me. She's tempting me with motherly cooking. "I don't think Tomoe-san would care much."

    I look down the isle. Mami-onee-chan does have a basket in her hand. She's heading down to the refrigerator for some milk. That's just enough to...

    [_] Indulging a bit won't be too bad. I can ask Mami-onee-chan if she wants some.

    As for our wish, bank it for when something is needed to turn the tables probably.
    Unless you want the usual entropy defying "bypass/reduce need for grief seeds" wish.

    This quest is adorable. I can't wait for it all to end in tears.

    Off topic, if we make a wish we're gonna be limited by our IC information and potential (and how much potential could Momo really have?). If we want to pursue that route, we should try to acquire as much information as possible about being meguca so that we can make the best possible wish. Of course, this also comes with the need to prevent Mami from finding out about lichbomb/witchbomb, so we can't pry TOO deeply.
