Part 5:

Tsuruno: .......How should I say it...

Momoko: The atmosphere...

Meru: ...is tense.

Central Ward Magical Girl 1: .......

Central Ward Magical Girl 2: .......

Yachiyo: ...Hm? We're being watched. By those girls, perhaps...?

Mifuyu: Yacchan, those two are probably magical girls, wouldn't you say?

Yachiyo: Seems so. Central Ward magical girls, maybe?

Yachiyo: ...Let's go talk to them.

Yachiyo: It's a good chance to hear the opinions of Central Ward magical girls directly.

Mifuyu: Momoko-san and everyone else, please wait here.

Mifuyu: We don't want to spook them by surrounding them with a big group.

Momoko: Understood.

Mifuyu: I apologize for asking so abruptly, but you're magical girls of the Central Ward, aren't you?

Central Ward Magical Girl 1: ......Er, what should we do...?

Central Ward Magical Girl 2: ...I-I'm sorry, but we're in a hurry, so...

Yachiyo: That's odd, because you were watching us pretty closely?

Central Ward Magical Girl 1: ...That's, well...

Mifuyu: We're not upset or anything.

Mifuyu: We just want to hear from you about the state of the Central Ward right now.

Central Ward Magical Girl 1: .......

Central Ward Magical Girl 2: .......

Mifuyu: It'll be short, so could we please have a moment of your time?

Central Ward Magical Girl 2: .......

Central Ward Magical Girl 2: ...Y-you're bothering us!

Mifuyu: Huh...?

Central Ward Magical Girl 2: You're the peacekeepers of the Westside, Azusa-san and Nanami-san, right?

Central Ward Magical Girl 2: If someone from the Eastside sees us talking to you, then...

Central Ward Magical Girl 2: ...they'll think we're backing your side up... and then we'll catch their attention...

Central Ward Magical Girl 1: U-um...! It's not like we're with the Eastside, either...

Central Ward Magical Girl 1: We're not part of either, so... this is a bother...

Central Ward Magical Girl 1: That's why... um...

Central Ward Magical Girl 2: Please, don't get us involved in this...!

Central Ward Magical Girl 2: I beg you, please go away...

Yachiyo: ...Shall we head out, then? I apologize for disturbing you.

Mifuyu: Yes. Pardon us...

Central Ward Magical Girl 2: ......

Central Ward Magical Girl 2: The West and the East are the same.

Central Ward Magical Girl 2: All they want is to get hold of grief seeds for themselves...

Central Ward Magical Girl 1: ...Yeah, they only think about themselves...

Central Ward Magical Girl 1: They don't think about the magical girls of the Central Ward one bit...

Central Ward Magical Girl 2: I mean, we require grief seeds, too, you know...

Central Ward Magical Girl 2: It doesn't matter which, both of them just want to exploit us...

Central Ward Magical Girl 1: ...Hey, don't you think we should go talk to Miyako-san about this...?

Central Ward Magical Girl 2: Yes, you're right, the two of them coming here is something to tell her about...

------

Meru: How'd it go?

Yachiyo: ...No good, they were too guarded. I don't think they trusted us.

Mifuyu: I thought we'd be able to talk to them at least a little bit...

Tsuruno: ...I see.

Tsuruno: Then do you think we should look for the barrier where Momoko got attacked?

Yachiyo: I do. If we start trying to ask random people, their impression of us will just get worse...

Mifuyu: ...Yes. Let's do what we can do for now...

Momoko: I remember the magic signature, so I'll take care of the navigation.

------

Part 6:

Momoko: Found it! It's definitely this barrier.

Yachiyo: ......

Mifuyu: What's wrong, Yacchan?

Yachiyo: I can't really put it into words, but... this barrier... something's different.

Momoko: What?!

Momoko: ...Yeah, now that you say that, I get that feeling, too...

Meru: What could it be? Shall I try a fortune?

Yachiyo: Please don't... why would you want to add more trouble to this situation?

Meru: Whaaa...?!

Meru: That's a rude way to say it!

Tsuruno: Hmmm... what is this? It feels like... it's paused, or something?

Mifuyu: ...Paused... it really does feel that way. There's no indications that it's going to attack.

Yachiyo: ...We won't learn anything by just thinking about it, will we? Let's go on in.

Mifuyu: ...Okay, let's proceed with extreme caution.

Yachiyo: Yes, we have no idea what could be there. Be mindful that we stay together and don't get separated.

------

Mifuyu: ...Tsuruno-san and Meru-san aren't here...!

Yachiyo: ...I even told them not to get separated...

Momoko: And they went and got themselves lost quite nicely...

Mifuyu: What trouble... I think they're probably okay, but...

Yachiyo: ...Let's at least hope that they stayed together.

Familiar: ......

Mifuyu: A familiar...!

Yachiyo: First we'll deal with this.

Momoko: All right! Let's clean up here and then go meet up with them!
