Part 3:

Yachiyo: Oh, you came here properly and didn't run away, did you?

Kanagi: That's quite an attitude from the group that called me out here.

Yachiyo: Seems you're being quite unpleasant as well.

Yachiyo: Are you angry that things aren't going the way you want them to?

Kanagi: What? I can say the exact same to you.

Kanagi: Things aren't going the way you want to, either, and that's why you contacted me, isn't it?

Mifuyu: Now now, we've gathered here to have a discussion with each other, so let's leave that here.

Mifuyu: First of all, Kanagi-san.

Mifuyu: Thank you for answering our request to meet.

Kanagi: I am the Eastside's peacekeeper, after all. I have to think of the interests of the entire Eastside.

Kanagi: I must clearly take responsibility for this.

Mifuyu: Yes.

Kanagi: So then, how shall I pay back this debt?

Kanagi: I assume it won't be settled with an apology.

Mifuyu: That's right.

Mifuyu: The reasonable thing would be... an offering of grief seeds.

Mifuyu: ...and also negotiating rights to the area known as the Central Ward, I would say?

Kanagi: Ho ho, now this is getting big.

Kanagi: Your side seems to think they can afford to ask for quite a lot.

Yachiyo: That's right. At the very least, unlike your side...

Yachiyo: ...we aren't desperate enough to start attacking magical girls from the opposing side in neutral territory.

Kanagi: Wait. What do you mean by that?

Yachiyo: What, you say...?

Yachiyo: Momoko was attacked by an Eastside magical girl while in a witch's barrier in the Central Ward.

Mifuyu: That incident was also a reason that we arranged this...

Yachiyo: Perhaps you didn't know that?

Yachiyo: I wonder if there was some incompetent supervision at work there.

Kanagi: ......

Kanagi: One of our magical girls was also attacked by a Westside magical girl.

Yachiyo: Wha-?!

Mifuyu: Huh?!

Kanagi: ...By the looks on your faces, I'll assume that you didn't know that either.

Kanagi: I wonder who exactly has the incompetent supervision?

Yachiyo: I don't think that's something you should be saying.

Kanagi: You either, right?

Mifuyu: The two of you, please calm down.

Mifuyu: Now that we've advanced the conversation to the point where we know about these attacks...

Mifuyu: Let's take a moment to get things straight.

------

Mifuyu: I see... so they were both attacks that happened in a witch's barrier in the Central Ward.

Mifuyu: And the attacker called herself a magical girl of the Westside, right?

Kanagi: Yes, that's what I was told.

Yachiyo: It's the same as us. The magical girl that attacked Momoko also called herself...

Yachiyo: "A magical girl from a ward that's against yours."

Kanagi: ...The circumstances are incredibly similar.

Yachiyo: If you doubt we're telling the truth, you can confirm it for yourself.

Kanagi: Ohh?

Yachiyo: We'll allow you to use your powers to read our hearts.

Yachiyo: If it's necessary, I'll call Momoko here, too.

Kanagi: I see, that's a good idea.

------

Yachiyo: With that, you have proof, right?

Kanagi: Yes, the two of you aren't lying.

Kanagi: It's true that Togame was attacked by an unknown magical girl.

Mifuyu: That you understand that is what's important.

Yachiyo: So, how are you going to prove your story to us?

Kanagi: Wh-?

Yachiyo: Unlike you, we can't read your heart or anything.

Yachiyo: How will you prove to us that the attack on your side actually happened?

Kanagi: ...That's...

Kanagi: ......

Kanagi: ...I've been honest.

Kanagi: That's the proof.

Yachiyo: What is that supposed to mean?

Kanagi: I could have just faked what I read in your hearts.

Kanagi: Like "I read your hearts, and I know you're lying," or something.

Kanagi: But I didn't do that.

Yachiyo: ...You're saying that us believing you is connected to you believing us?

Kanagi: Yes.

Yachiyo: ...Mifuyu.

Mifuyu: ...I think we can believe her.

Yachiyo: ...All right, I wasn't planning on trying to take it that far anyway.

Yachiyo: Fine, we believe you, Kanagi.

Kanagi: ...Now we can continue with the discussion.

Mifuyu: Yes, so we have a situation here that neither side fully understands.

Mifuyu: If possible, I'd like to find a way to cooperate to...

Momoko: Yachiyo-san! Mifuyu-san! There's a problem!

Yachiyo: What is it? We were just about to reach a conclusion to this discussion.

Momoko: ...Maybe I shouldn't have shouted that so loud.

Mifuyu: It's an emergency, right? Kanagi-san, I apologize for this, but...

Kanagi: ...Don't make me wait too long.

Mifuyu: I'm very sorry.

Momoko: More of our magical girls were attacked!

Yachiyo: What?!

Momoko: A team of magical girls were attacked in their territory in Sankyou Ward.

Momoko: It's caused a bit of an uproar.

Mifuyu: Oh no... can we get persuade them not to spread the story?

Momoko: ...It's difficult.

Momoko: It seems the story's already spread throughout the magical girls of Sankyou Ward.

Momoko: Tsuruno's over in Sankyou Ward, but I'm not sure if she'll be able to stop things...

Momoko: But, if it's someone like Yachiyo-san saying it, they may actually listen to you...

Yachiyo: ...I'll go. Mifuyu, continue the discussion.

Mifuyu: Understood.

Yachiyo: Kanagi, it's rude of me, but...

Kanagi: This is the end of the discussion.

Yachiyo: Huh?!

Kanagi: I just received word that another attack from the Westside has come.

Mifuyu: ...I can tell you that it wasn't on our instruction.

Kanagi: I know that, since I read your hearts before.

Kanagi: But that's why I've concluded that this discussion is pointless.

Yachiyo: What is this about?

Kanagi: I don't think we can reach a conclusion when I'm negotiating with people who don't know what their side's magical girls are up to.

Kanagi: Time is precious, so I'm going to have to leave it here.

Mifuyu: P-please wait a moment!

Yachiyo: ...It's no use. When she gets like that, she's not going to listen anymore.

Yachiyo: Let's go to the Sankyou Ward and try to stop the situation from growing any worse.

Mifuyu: ...Okay.

Part 4:

Westside Magical Girl 1: Yachiyo-san! Let us Westside girls enter the Central Ward, too!

Westside Magical Girl 1: It's because we've been obedient that those Eastsiders have gone too far.

Westside Magical Girl 2: If we don't give them a little taste of their own medicine, they won't learn!

Westside Magical Girl 3: And besides, if we hand over the Central Ward to those girls who rampage through it doing whatever they wanted...

Westside Magical Girl 3: ...wouldn't you feel bad for the Central Ward girls?

Westside Magical Girl 3: Even now there are girls who are being oppressed.

Westside Magical Girl 3: And also the girls who are being forced from their own territory!

Mifuyu: ...Yes, we certainly can't forgive the invasion of territory.

Westside Magical Girl 3: So then...!

Yachiyo: But why do you girls know so much about this?

Westside Magical Girl 2: Huh?

Yachiyo: Have you been going to the Central Ward yourselves?

Westside Magical Girl 1: ...Well, that's...

Westside Magical Girl 3: My friend lives there, so...

Westside Magical Girl 3: In the beginning, I thought we would just be on good terms and split up the witches, but...

Westside Magical Girl 3: Now it's different...

Westside Magical Girl 3: That girl doesn't have much experience, and she's not very strong, so I figured we need to protect her...

Westside Magical Girl 1: A-and we're not exploiting them like those Eastsiders are!

Westside Magical Girl 2: Sometimes she fights with us, too, so that girl is practically our ally already!

Yachiyo: Allying with magical girls of the Central Ward...

Yachiyo: ...strictly speaking, that's also a violation of the pact that the Westside and the Westside agreed to.

Westside Magical Girl 1: ...That's...

Westside Magical Girl 3: I was the one who originally did it, so I'll take the punishment.

Yachiyo: ......

Mifuyu: If you can promise to avoid making a further uproar about this...

Mifuyu: Then we can close this matter here.

Westside Magical Girl 3: ...Huh?

Mifuyu: But I want the three of you to think hard on your actions.

Mifuyu: And what happened as the result of those actions.

Westside Magical Girl 3: ...Yes, I'm sorry.

------

Momoko: I'm glad that things got settled somehow yesterday...

Yachiyo: Yes, it's not like I didn't understand the feelings of those girls, though.

Yachiyo: Wanting to help your friends if they're in trouble is a normal thing...

Momoko: The discussions with Kanagi-san broke down as well, but...

Momoko: Was there any movement toward having the Central Ward join the Westside?

Momoko: If they're being tyrannized by the Eastside magical girls, wouldn't they want to join us?

Yachiyo: ......

Mifuyu: ...To be honest, I don't know.

Momoko: Huh? Why's that?

Mifuyu: ...We can't guarantee that the Westside magical girls won't do the same thing the Eastside magical girls are doing.

Yachiyo: ...It's unfortunate, but they are.

Yachiyo: People who are cornered and desperate can only think about themselves.

Momoko: No way...

Mifuyu: So our biggest problem now is that we don't exactly understand the current situation in the Central Ward.

Mifuyu: If they're suspicious that we've had incompetent supervision, then there's really not much we could say in our defense...

Yachiyo: I'm suspicious whether Kanagi fully grasps the situation or not...

Yachiyo: In either case, it's a problem for me as a peacekeeper...

Momoko: ......

Yachiyo: So first, of all, we need to understand this situation as much as we can.

Yachiyo: For the sake of resolving this situation as well.

Momoko: That's right! If there's something you need help with, you can ask me for anything.

Yachiyo: Thank you.

Yachiyo: There's also the cases of these attacks, so I think we should go to the Central Ward to investigate.

Yachiyo: I'd at least like to confirm with my own eyes the reality of the situation there.

Mifuyu: I've certainly had my fill of hearsay...

Mifuyu: For this, Yacchan and I will...

Meru: I'm going, too!

Meru: I'd feel ashamed if I just left this alone!

Mifuyu: Hya?! W-when did you...

Tsuruno: I'm here, too!

Yachiyo: Ah, you've come.

Tsuruno: If it's problem-solving, then leave it to Yui Tsuruno, the strongest magical girl!

Momoko: If you're looking for the barrier where I was attacked, you're going to need me there, too, huh?

Yachiyo: ...I suppose so.
