In the end, today's search ended without results. Momoko left because she was worried about Kaede and Rena, and with no other choice, Kozue brought Red Ponytail back to her home—fortunately, her parents had already gone overseas on a business trip, or Kozue would not even have known how to explain this to them.
"Haaah..."
After returning home, Kozue let out a long sigh. So much had happened today. She had only just arrived in Kamihama City when she had a strange dream. Worried, she went out to investigate, only to get caught in a witch's barrier and rescue a girl who seemed to be a Magical Girl.
But what Kozue had not expected was that the witches in Kamihama City were far stronger than those elsewhere. If Momoko had not stepped in to help, she probably would not have made it back herself.
After that, Momoko led her to the Coordinator's Shop, where she met Miss Yachiyo, as well as Yachiyo Nanami, who tried to persuade her to leave Kamihama City. She had also met Rena Minami and Kaede Akino...
"Honestly..."
Thinking back on it all, Kozue sighed helplessly. So much had happened in just one day that she felt she could barely process it all. Especially the fact that the witches in Kamihama City were so strong—it was completely beyond her expectations. She had not become a Magical Girl yesterday. While Kozue was not particularly skilled at attacking, she could still defeat ordinary witches.
But the witches in Kamihama City were absurdly powerful. Kozue's attacks were like scratches to them, almost completely ineffective, and that worried her greatly. If she wanted to find her little sister, she would probably have to fight witches often. Under the current circumstances, fighting them was simply too difficult.
Perhaps the Coordinator's Shop
