[X] Pull hand away.

I'm going to laugh if this is just a dream and we all jumped to conclusions.

    • What about Mami-onee-chan?

    What? What about Mami? Don't you want to-

    I don't want to go anywhere without her. We're a family.

    Something is wrong here. This doesn't feel like it's real.

    You never say Mom and Dad, Onee-chan. I've only ever heard you say Papa and Mama.

    "MOMO!"

    Something pulls me back and- "Ouch!" I hit the floor. I look back to see who pulled me.



    "This thing snuck up on us," Midori-san stands over me to face what seemed like Onee-chan. "Momo, stick behind me. You got caught in the witch's spell. You were able to break out of it though, so good job."

    "Witch's spell?" I'm confused. I was targeted? No, before that, wouldn't this be a Witch Barrier? We sent from the front of the church to an art studio. Weird, scary paintings line the walls with big eyes all around. They're looking at the fake Onee-chan who might be the witch?

    "Stay close," this is the third time I've seen a magical girl.

    First Onee-chan when she saved me from the wreckage.

    Second it was a demonstration from Mami-onee-chan.

    And now it's Midori-san.

    She has a crown, red ribbons on her arms, neck and head. A dark blue dress that stops at her knees. A white cotton-shirt underneath it. It matches the image of when I first met her.

    "Choose a better time to space out," Midori-san nudges me a little with the back of her leg. "Get up. Take a few steps back."

    "Eh?" I stand up. I start walking back as she said and-

    "GRIEVER!"

    She shouts and-

    THUD!

    I fall back again.

    I look up and see- "Whaaa?" It's a knight. It's a tall knight with silver armor and some weird lizard looking head. No, this entire situation is weird.

    "That's Griever. Relax while he protects you," a blue light blasts from Midori-san's hands. Next thing a shield and sword appear. Then 'Onee-chan' makes a break for Midori-san. She runs, throwing out a hand to grab at her. Midori-san's shield takes the attack. She raises her sword to make the next attack. I close my eyes. I don't want to have that image in my mind.

    I slowly open an eye.

    Midori-san is standing in my line of sight so I can't see. "It's not over yet, Momo. Stay still."

    I slowly lower my head, "I will. Do your best, Midori-san."

    She spoke to me without taking her eyes off of the witch. I can tell it changed into something else. Now it's another girl that I don't know?

    Midori-san charges. A few blows are exchanged, but she comes out victorious.

    "Mido- AAA!" I fall to the ground with my hands on my head.

    The knight's sword tore through the air. It stabbed the ground a few feet away to ... to kill one of the paintings? The walls are coming to life?

    "Hey, Momo!" Midori-san must have pulled away from the witch to meet me. She bashes one of those strange monsters away then slices another in two. "We're getting out of here."

    [_] "But what about the witch? You have to kill it. If it leaves, it'll go after other people."
    [_] "... Okay. I trust you, Midori-san. Let's leave."
    [_] "Can't you finish off the witch if you work with uh-" (Point to the knight)

    • [X] "... Okay. I trust you, Midori-san. Let's leave.

    Pretty sure Midori's on the level, and she'll have an easier time killing it without having to worry about us.

    Elder Haman said:
    Why does everyone want to leave?

    Pretty sure bad things will happen if we let the witch go.

    Click to shrink...

    Because I trust Midori to come back and deal with it when she doesn't have to worry about keeping a civilian safe. And lingering in a barrier without powers is just asking for something bad to happen.

    • I have to think about what I can and can't do. If I stay here, I'm a burden. I can't fight like Midori-san or Mami-onee-chan. "... Okay, I trust you, Midori-san. Let's leave."

    "You didn't trust me before?"

    "I didn't mean it like that."

    "I know," she readies her shield then smashes another one away. "Come on, Griever, let's get going!" The knight picks me up into his chest. We start running toward the other end of the 'room'. More of the paintings attack, but they're no match for a magical girl. A door bursts open with Midori-san's kick. "This way!" she leads the way through this bizarre place. It doesn't look like it belongs in the real world. It's a place that could only exist in a painting, a book, a dream. There's a certain charm to it, but at the same time being here gives me shivers. I'm not sure what to feel. Fear because those things tried to hurt me or pity for the witch that has to live here?

    Kyubey, Onee-chan, and Mami-onee-chan say witches are creatures born from hatred and curses. I listened, nodded my head, and accepted that. Seeing it up close makes it feels like there's more to it than that. What started this fight? What will end it? I don't want to think that people have to keep on fighting forever, but that's what it seems like.

    "Hey, Momo, we're out."

    I look up. Yeah, she's right, that was just a short sprint. Is Griever-san really that fast? I take a look at him, smile, and start trying to stand on the ground on my own. "Thank you."

    "It's his job," the knight bows then vanishes into nothing. "Now then-"

    "MOMO-CHAN!"

    I stand stiff.

    That's Mami-onee-chan's voice.

    "Ah! Mami-onee-chan!" I look at her then I realize I'm in big trouble. I've been out for way longer than I should be. I said I would be back in time for dinner, but I didn't even start on my way back because I was waiting for Onee-chan. She's probably mad, it's my fault, I deserve it. Oh, I should've sent her a text too!

    I grab my phone.

    And it's dead.

    My phone is dead.

    Even after a year, I'm still not used to having one of these.

    "Momo-chan!" she has a smile on her face. Then the smile turns into a frown. "Why didn't you come home? I sent you a text earlier. Did you get it?"

    "I-I didn't."

    Mami-onee-chan walks forward to take a look at my phone, "It has no charge," she hands it back to me. "You know it defeats the purpose of me paying for your phone if you don't use it."

    "I'm sorry," I bow. I really am sorry. This happens a lot just because I'm forgetful.

    "You keep apologizing too," Mami-onee-chan puts a hand on my head. "I can't stay mad at you for too long," Mami-onee-chan looks at Midori-san. "I sensed a witch nearby. Did you take care of it?"

    "I had other priorities."

    Mami-onee-chan looks at me then to Midori-san, "So you must be Chiba-san. Thank you for protecting Momo."

    "No thanks needed. Seeing her smile was enough," Midori-san looks off into the woods. "I'm going to go head it off before it gets near the city. I'll be back!"

    [_] "Mami-onee-chan, why don't you go help her? I'm fine heading home by myself."
    [_] "Good-bye, Midori-san, and good luck!"
    [_] "Onee-chan still hasn't shown up, even though it's dark..."

    • [X] "Mami-onee-chan, why don't you go help her? I'll wait for you and Midori-san here."

    We might encounter a witch while walking home. This way, we might encounter Kyoko.
