"We're finally here!" Said Kaoru, stretching her arms.
It was 6PM at Mtakihara's station. Kazumi, Kaoru and Umika had just arrived at the station after a few hours traveling by bus.
"Now where do we start searching?" said Kazumi, putting her finger on her lower lip.
"I just can't believe in this, Kazumi." Said Kaoru with an angry expression. "You said you wanted to meet the magical girl who saved Michiru, but you don't know where she lives or even her name! What if…. What if she was defeated by a witch already?"
"I know she wasn't!" Kazumi denied strongly. "She's not weak! And besides, I remember reading in Michiru's diary that she was wearing a school uniform and said she was in a school trip! It's a start!"
"Oh yeah? From which school?" Kaoru asked, turning her face to Kazumi.
"Er… well…" Kazumi hesitated. "I-I know we'll find it out! Right, Umika?"
Kazumi made a forced smile to the black haired girl, who didn't look happy.
"You've better…" Umika started talking in a low voice.
"Huh?" Asked Kazumi, who didn't hear her friend's words.
"You've better cook a very tasty meal to us after this!" Umika finally said, pointing her finger to Kazumi.
"Of course!" said Kazumi with a bright smile. "And I'll cook for her too!"
"All right then." Said Umika, going back to her calm self. "Let's start searching."
"Huh? Do you have any idea about where to start?" Asked Kaoru.
"You can say that." Said Umika. "Like Kazumi said, the girl was wearing a school uniform and was in a school trip. I checked the date on Michiru's diary, and searched for any school trip that happened on that day."
"A-And?" Kaoru asked but both her and Kazumi were looking at Umika with their eyes shining, hoping for good news.
Umika sighed.
"…Did you even ask yourselves why we came to Mitakihara in the first place? Of course I found something."
"Ooooohhh, great one Umika!" Said Kaoru, finally showing a smile. "So, we're heading to the school that arranged that trip?"
"To tell the truth, I'm heading to a hotel. Since we don't have the girl's name, It'll take a while until we find her." Said Umika, crossing her arms.
Umika's words were like a striking blow to Kaoru, who suddenly got depressed.
"So it'll be like this, huh?..."
"May I say something?" Asked Kazumi. "Since she's a puella magi like us, wouldn't it be easier if we just search for witches? We may cross paths with her sooner or later."
"That's a good idea, Kazumi." Said Umika, calmly. It looks like she was already expecting her friend to say that.
As soon as she heard her friends' words, Kaoru's face became bright again, probably because there would be action involved.
"Great one, Kazumi!" she said, loudly. "Then let's go to a hotel already and put this plan into action!"
Umika and Kazumi nodded. The three girls then started walking towards the closest hotel. However, after ten minutes walking, Kazumi's ahoge started moving.
"There's a witch's nearby!" shouted Kazumi, who started running.
Umika was caught off guard by Kazumi's sudden shouting.
"W-Wait, Kazumi!"
"We're following her ahoge again?!" said Kaoru, running right after Kazumi.
Kazumi ran a few meters ahead and entered in an alley close by. There, she saw a girl lying on the ground.
"Hey, are you all alright?!" Kazumi shouted, rushing to the girl's side. However, there was no answer. She had passed out.
"Kazumi!" Kaoru shouted as soon as she entered the alley, with Umika right behind her. "Are you alright?!"
"Don't worry. It looks like the witch fled." Kazumi answered, looking at her ahoge, which had stopped moving.
"And what about that girl?" Umika asked, referring to the blonde girl on Kazumi's arms.
"She's just passed out." Said Kazumi.
"Was she kissed by the witch?" Asked Kaoru.
"It doesn't look like that way." Answered Umika. "Look at her hand."
Kazumi and Kaoru did as Umika said. After paying attention, they noticed a ring on the girl's right ring finger. The ring had a yellow gem in it and a sign of the same color was present on the same finger's nail.
"She's a magical girl…" Kazumi said, surprised.
"What will we do with her?" Asked Kaoru, looking at Umika's direction.
"For the time being, let's take her with us. She may have some information about the magical girl we're looking for." Umika said, crossing her arms once again.
Hello again, everyone. Chapter 2 is out, I hope you like it. The two first chapters were quite short, but that's because I had written these a long time ago and didn't want to change them. But I think I'll start writing more starting chapter 3.
If you find any grammar mistakes, please tell me! Thank you!
