The final result did not surprise Red Ponytail. Of the Magical Girls who had come here, two-thirds chose to accept re-contracting.
This was hardly strange. Nearly all those gathered here were local Magical Girls. They had grown up here and lived in this city. To them, this city was their home. Though they always had plenty of complaints about one thing or another, when their home and loved ones were threatened, these Magical Girls would never stand by and do nothing.
On the other hand, most of the Magical Girls on the Magius side were outsiders. They had come here only after learning in their dreams of the rumor that "Magical Girls can be saved in Kamihama City."
So, to them, sacrificing a Kamihama City that had nothing to do with them in exchange for freeing Magical Girls across the world was not something they found unacceptable.
Naturally, the local Magical Girls saw things differently.
You burn down my home to save yourselves? How about I burn down yours instead? MMP!
Considering that most Magical Girls in Kamihama City had psychological issues, Red Ponytail adopted a "team contract" approach. Put simply, it was like what had happened with Kozue before: the Magical Girls would re-contract collectively as groups. That way, whoever woke up first could go wake the rest.
As the saying went, those who got rich first should help the others get rich too.
As for the remaining third, aside from the Magius Magical Girls, there were lone wolves and neutral factions. They did not like the Magius, but they were unwilling to sell themselves again so easily. They intended to go to the Adjustment Shop and act as a neutral third party, helping neither side and waiting for the dust to settle before seeing the outcome.
Well... there
