Start

Potion Store Owner

✦

Back again? Green lizard tails and red beetle powder, right? I knew you'd want it; plenty of people were asking for it but I held on to it just for you.

🔇 N/A

TeRiRi

✦

You're always so good to me. How has your health been lately?

🔇 N/A

Potion Store Owner

✦

Doing well. The blood red potion you gave me last time worked wonders. My leg feels much better!

🔇 N/A

Black Cat Post Office Employee

✦

TeRiRi, these pictures are from this week. They're all in this envelope here.

🔇 N/A

TeRiRi

✦

Thanks Anita. I always ask so much of you. Next time[sic] how about I treat you to some pistachio bubble tea.

🔇 N/A

Black Cat Post Office Employee

✦

Don't sweat it, you're on my mail route. Hey, why are you always taking a picture of this tree? And always from the same angle. Why not take a picture of something else?

🔇 N/A

TeRiRi

✦

Hehe, it's just for a report, I need a picture, that's all.

🔇 N/A

Oddity Stall Owner

✦

Hey, I heard you were collecting gem fragments. I remembered last time I was at the market and bought some. Check it out, are these of any use?

🔇 N/A

TeRiRi

✦

Wow, there's so many! Thank you!

🔇 N/A

Potion Store Owner

✦

If you need anything else, just let us know and we can help.

🔇 N/A

TeRiRi

✦

Thank you so much! I'm gonna get going now, see you!

🔇 N/A

Rita

✦

It looks like the shopkeeper really likes you.

🔇 N/A

TeRiRi

✦

Probably because I'm always in here shopping. I always went through ingredients faster than others when I was in school, so I'd buy a ton. The more you buy, the more they remember.

🔇 N/A

Bronie

✦

Finished shopping?

🔇 N/A

TeRiRi

✦

I just need one more thing: spider's eye, the key ingredient to trace remover. You get it on 66th street.

🔇 N/A

Bronie

✦

That's pretty far. There's none on this street?

🔇 N/A

✦

TeRiRi nervously shook her head.

🔇 N/A

TeRiRi

✦

That ingredient is banned by the Magic Security Bureau, so...

🔇 N/A

Bronie

✦

Got it. Then let's go this way. By my calculations, this'll shave 20 minutes off the trip.

🔇 N/A

TeRiRi

✦

That's a ton of time!

🔇 N/A

Bronie

✦

But once you cross the street, the rest of the way isn't so easy.

🔇 N/A

TeRiRi

✦

Waaaaait.... Isn't that one of the "Top 10 Neighborhoods to Avoid Due to Beast Infestation?!"

🔇 N/A

Bronie

✦

Sneak attack at 3 o'clock, t-minus 10 seconds. Everyone get ready.

🔇 N/A

< The Burn tutorial triggers on the 4th turn. Follow the prompts that appear in this tile-matching puzzle game and defeat the Gun Figurine Hunter to beat the stage. >

TeRiRi

✦

Finally got all the ingredients... Phew...

🔇 N/A

Rita

✦

Feel better, Ms. TeRiRi?

🔇 N/A

TeRiRi

✦

No way. I... I never want to take a shortcut again!

🔇 N/A

Bronie

✦

What are you grades in school like?

🔇 N/A

TeRiRi

✦

Wh... What? W-Why would you ask that all of a sudden...

🔇 N/A

Bronie

✦

Aren't Magic Girls usually capable of casting powerful, stunning moves? Y'know, like "Magic Girl TeRiRi, Invisibility! Take flight! I've got you now!" Something like that?

🔇 N/A

TeRiRi

✦

No way. In fact, to make teaching more efficient, the school goes over key points before every exam. If you memorize the book, you get a high score. No need to practice really.

🔇 N/A

Rita

✦

It's a simple and easy way to teach.

🔇 N/A

TeRiRi

✦

I've practiced a lot on my own... But I'm still not very good. But I am good at potions and divination.

🔇 N/A

Bronie

✦

Do you have a potion that will make you taller and stronger?

🔇 N/A

TeRiRi

✦

Probably. I remember reading about something like that before. But the recipe was banned because there were too many side effects.

🔇 N/A

TeRiRi

✦

By the way, how did you do that just now, Bronie?

🔇 N/A

TeRiRi

✦

You controlled them with a swish of the hand, but I didn't see any trace of magic. It was the same way when you were dealing with the Hunters. What magic are you using?

🔇 N/A

TeRiRi

✦

I've read a ton of books. But I've never come across any record of that sort of power.

🔇 N/A

Bronie

✦

Well that's because it's not magic.

🔇 N/A

Bronie

✦

Exactly how it works can be tough to explain. To put it simply, I virtually project a weapon that becomes corporeal when needed and then... Boom!

🔇 N/A

✦

Bronie gestured a shot with her hands. TeRiRi's ears twitched.

🔇 N/A

TeRiRi

✦

That still sounds like magic. And this thing floating here?

🔇 N/A

Bronie

✦

Oh, that's a drone. I made it myself.

🔇 N/A

TeRiRi

✦

That's amazing! To be able to put together such precise tools without the help of magic. You two aren't from around here, huh?

🔇 N/A

Bronie

✦

More or less.

🔇 N/A

TeRiRi

✦

And here I was thinking you were just a Magic Girl from another school that took some special courses or something.

🔇 N/A

TeRiRi

✦

I didn't realize you were a loophole in the Magic Security Bureau's system.

🔇 N/A

Bronie

✦

Are you going to report me?

🔇 N/A

✦

Bronie winked playfully.

🔇 N/A

TeRiRi

✦

Of course not. Do you know what's on the other side of the wall?

🔇 N/A

✦

The girls made their way through the crowd.

🔇 N/A

✦

The street was high in the city at the end of a long ramp. The glow of the street lamps was relaxing, small colorful flags swayed in the breeze, and everyone was smiling.

🔇 N/A

✦

A high wall surrounded the city. On one side, lights were shining; on the other, it wasn't half as bright.

🔇 N/A

TeRiRi

✦

A few years prior, the Magic Security Bureau established Crescent Moon District here. Lots of people moved there while Lone Star City became more abandoned.

🔇 N/A

Rita

✦

So Lone Star City is on the other side of this wall.

🔇 N/A

TeRiRi

✦

Yes, which is where Lavinia Library is located as well.

🔇 N/A

Bronie

✦

I feel uncomfortable just looking at such a high wall.

🔇 N/A

Rita

✦

Why are you so focused on the Lavinia Library, TeRiRi? There's gotta be libraries in Crescent Moon District, right?

🔇 N/A

TeRiRi

✦

About that...

🔇 N/A

TeRiRi

✦

It's so I can graduate. You can only become a Magic Girl after finishing your thesis.

🔇 N/A

TeRiRi

✦

My research is on magical gems and residual power. But there are no whole gems left, just fragments.

🔇 N/A

TeRiRi

✦

I tried piecing a gem back together, but there's a problem with the data I collected. The Lavinia Library has the most information on gems, so I wanted to try my luck there.

🔇 N/A

TeRiRi

✦

Plus... I want to see beyond the wall.

🔇 N/A

Bronie

✦

...

🔇 N/A

Bronie

✦

Not a bad answer.

🔇 N/A

TeRiRi

✦

That's my house up there. Should we go and rest a bit?

🔇 N/A

Rita

✦

No need. Instead of worrying about us, why don't you get some rest and pack your bag for tomorrow?

🔇 N/A

TeRiRi

✦

Right... Come to think of it, I have a lot to pack still.

🔇 N/A

Bronie

✦

We'll be here for you at 8 AM.

🔇 N/A

TeRiRi

✦

Right. See you tomorrow.

🔇 N/A

✦

Her long ears wiggled merrily while she ran down the street to her bowed little shack. Shortly after, a warm glowing light could be seen from her window.

🔇 N/A

Bronie

✦

Ahh, that's enough for today, let's head back and hit the hay. Hey, aren't you going?

🔇 N/A

Rita

✦

Bronie, don't you think you've been taking a few too many commissions lately?

🔇 N/A

Bronie

✦

What's wrong? It's not like this is the first time this has happened. Isn't it better to have two commissions that go together? Like killing two birds with one stone?

🔇 N/A

Rita

✦

I hope so. We still don't have enough information.

🔇 N/A

Bronie

✦

But one thing is for certain — We have the right person.

🔇 N/A

Rita

✦

TeRiRi... Hehe, I think she's pretty cute.

🔇 N/A

Bronie

✦

Don't be fooled by her smile. Her looks are deceiving.

🔇 N/A

Rita

✦

Is that right? It isn't that her wanting to look on the other side of the wall reminds you of yourself?

🔇 N/A

Rita

✦

A certain someone leaving Arc City because she wanted to see the outside world... You're just as amazing, Bronie.

🔇 N/A

Bronie

✦

That won't work on me, Ms. Rosemary. I'm not interested in stories.

🔇 N/A

Rita

✦

I'm just making small talk. Don't you ever feel regret? I mean, when you leave a place, it can be hard to go back.

🔇 N/A

Bronie

✦

Knock it off! Don't go making up stories like that. I've never regreted it.

🔇 N/A

Bronie

✦

At any rate, I didn't think being a Magic Girl would be like just another job.

🔇 N/A

Rita

✦

And what did you think being a Magic Girl was like?

🔇 N/A

Bronie

✦

Well... More free? At least not busy writing a thesis or being monitored. Y'know, more like... you.

🔇 N/A

Rita

✦

Heheh~

🔇 N/A

✦

The light transformed into a blue butterfly and rested on her finger tips.

🔇 N/A

Rita

✦

Are you sure TeRiRi can lead us to that jerk?

🔇 N/A

Bronie

✦

Don't worry, my intel is always good.

🔇 N/A

Rita

✦

And you've cleared the commission off the list then?

🔇 N/A

Bronie

✦

Of course. I'm the best hacker around.

🔇 N/A

Rita

✦

Good.

🔇 N/A

✦

The blue butterfly fluttered on to the street, leaving behind patches of sparkling light as it flew.

🔇 N/A

✦

Then, like dust, it disappeared into the darkness.

🔇 N/A
