Chapter 4: New Beginning part 2
One week has happened since my apparition in Mitakihara city, I'm enjoying it a lot, I'm like a tourist in vacations doing excursions, even though this isn't much of a touristic place, and I'm not on vacations… I'm staying here… Who knows for how much time I will be on it…
Ignoring that, I got accostumed at this new life, up to the point, I got out every day to visit more places, and sometimes I found my classmates there, I also saw the hospital were… That invalid Sayaka love is… and the Apartment section, where certain Ojou-ringlets blonde is at…
I also didn't test my powers yet… I know I should train but, I don't feel like it… Too boring, besides I will use them when I require them… Even though I noticed… My soul gem isn't tainted… Completely clean, like I contracted today… Extrange…
Anyway… Today I will go to school again, one week left to the arrival of HomuHomu desu~.
I wake up, eat breakfast, brush my teeth, take a short bath, wear the uniform, brush my hair, check everything is in my bag, I'm ready!.
I leave my house, start walking to school.
Reach the park, I see Meduka, Seyiku & the Green one.
"Hi hi girls~" I greet them with a smile.
"Hi Roselle-chan, are you already accostumed to the city?" Madoka asks me.
"Of course~, since I'm enjoying being here a lot, it's easy" I smile again.
"That's good, now you can go out with us more right~?" Sayaka says.
"Of course, I really enjoy being around my friends" I blush a bit, they're so kind and friendly to me, that's why I will try to become as closer as I can!.
"It's the same for us Roselle-san, we enjoy your friendship as well" Hitomi answers.
"Girls, thanks" I feel so happy, I'm not afraid of anything anymore~.
"Oh look at the time, we better hurry up to school" Hitomi says, while we started to jog a bit to make it in time.
Luckily we did, now we need to get prepared for the school schedule.
First class was English, no problem for me, Madoka and Sayaka weren't that lucky, Hitomi was.
Second class was Geography, unlucky everywhere, Sayaka was sleeping… Madoka and Hitomi got lucky.
A small break, we ate at the school roof, it was delicious, we shared our food, Madoka father really knows how to cook~, I wonder if Hitomi has a personal chef for the cooking, it looked really yummy… Sayaka one was… Didn't eat it… Thanks god…
Third class, History… Didn't understand much, but got lucky somehow, same as Hitomi, Madoka was okay and Sayaka was… just there.
Fourth and final class of the day, I don't know what it was, and I don't care but something important happened on it…
"Everyone, today we will choose our health coordinator in the classroom" Saotome-sensei said, if I remember correctly, that's supposed to be Madoka, but since I'm here I should play a bit~.
"Someone wants to be the health coordinator?" Saotome asks, nobody raises hands. This is my chance.
"Me me me me, I want to be the Health coordinator Sensei!" I said, everyone was looking at me and started laughing, I laughed as well.
"I see, then Iris-san will be our class Health coordinator" I felt proud at the announcement.
That was the only interesting thing happened in the day…
At the end of the school I went walking with the girls.
"Say, Roselle, why did you want to be the health coordinator?" Sayaka asks out of the blue, I become a bit shocked.
Because a mysterious girl comes next week, and extrange stuff will happen, I want to be her friend to assure everyone's safety, like I could say that…
"Emm… Because I was it on my past school, I wanted to do it because it's an easy job and probably I can do something besides slacking off"
Even though I'm already doing a lot of things…
"That's so cool Roselle-chan, I want to help too" Madoka compliments me, Kyaaa Madoka so kind~.
"Thanks Madoka, but it isn't a big thing" I laugh a bit.
Besides you are helping a lot without doing something… Stay like that or do something when the Holy Quintet is formed and become Sextet with you…
After going to the mall with the girls, I left back to home.
While going back to home, I decided to take a shortcut by going through an alley, some minutes later, I regretted doing that… I noticed that the place was changing form, weird colors, forms, I even saw runes… Instantly I noticed the witch barrier was from… Gisela…
The barrier scared me… The witch and her minions were in front of me, I started to run because I was scared, I forgot completely that I had a soul gem, when I noticed it… I couldn't escape anymore, the minions were blocking every possibility for me… I was about to get hit so I decided to transform, I closed my eyes and… Before I could start my transformation I heard the words.
"Legare Vastalia!" The witch and her minions couldn't move anymore, ribbons were obstructing everyone movements… I got the idea from who was the voice who shouted the special attack.
A blonde with twisty, curly hair that was wearing a white shirt, yellow ribbon and skirt, brown hat with a white feather and brown shoes, I noticed her soul gem is on her hair, a bit down from where her hat is.
"Are you okay?" She asks me in a kind tone.
"Ye-yeah, thanks a lot" She smiles to me.
"Ok, please stand behind me" I do as she says, then…
She jumps, and a musket is under her feets, making her stay in the air.
"Parottora Magica Pero Infinitta*!" Lots and lots of muskets appeared next to her, and then they started shooting magical golden bullets.
I could see a lot of explosions, it was really shiny, the minions disappeared instantly, but the witch was still there, she screamed of pain, but she was still there.
"Now, it's time to end this!" The blonde girl jumped from the musket she was standing at before, then she took off her yellow ribbon, started spinning it around, and it transformed into a giant cannon, then I heard the words…
"TIRO FINALE!" The cannon shooted a giant bullet that hit the witch… A huge explosion appeared, it was the end… Of the barrier and the witch…
I knew it from the start… It was obvious this girl is…
"Everything is ok now" She smiles at me.
"Yeah…" Even though I know who she is, even though I saw all of her attacks… I was still impressed… Seeing it in person, it's AWESOME!
"THAT WAS COOL!" I screamed, the blonde girl was shocked, but then laughed.
"Thanks, my name is Mami Tomoe, what's yours?" She asks me.
"I'm Roselle Iris, it's a pleasure to meet you Mami-san" I smile at her.
I see a small flash of light, she was now wearing her school uniform. I also noticed the barrier disappeared, now we were on the alley.
"As you can see I study at Mitakihara school, I'm a Third year student, and it seems you're a Second year one" Mami deductively says.
"Ye-yeah, as I said today, that was cool Mami-san! How are you that powerful?" I scream again, and I asked her about her powers, even though I knew she was a Magical Girl and all of that.
"Thanks again, Emm… Iris-san, I think we should talk about my powers somewhere else… Would you like to go to my apartment to tell you everything? I have cake and tea too if you want" I was happy of her inviting me, specially because I was hungry.
She didn't notice I had a Soul Gem, or she dissimulated it very well… It's good this way for the moment… If she asks HER Kyubey, I would be considered an anomaly… And Mami-san won't trust me… I'm sure of it…
While we were on the way, I called home to tell my family about it, so they don't worry, like Madoka did and will do… Surely…
After some random talk between us, we reached her apartment.
She opens her door, we leave the shoes at the entrance.
"I live alone, but please feel at home" She smiles at me.
"Thanks I will" I smile back to her.
I will try to act naturally even though I already know what happened to her family… Her life has been hard, but she still has her kind and sisterly attitude.
"Please sit here, I will prepare tea and bring cake in some minutes" I sit where she tells me, and I wait.
She has got a lot of furniture and paints, such a colorful apartment, I like her style.
"The tea and the cake are ready" I grab my plate and teacup from her hands and place them on the glass table.
"Thank you very much" I said, and she giggles.
"Well… Since Kyubey isn't here, I will explain you as much as I can"
"This is a Soul Gem, this represents the contract done with Kyubey" She shows me her yellow soul gem.
"Shiny and beautiful~" I smile.
"The contract is done by making a wish to Kyubey, and in exchange we fight witches" I had an ooohhh~ look.
"The witches are our enemies, we fight them because us magical girls want to protect people, while the witches want to hurt people… There is a reward that you get for defeating a witch… It's called Grief seed, look" She shows me the Gisela Grief Seed.
"With this you can replenish your magic, as you can see my soul gem has a bit of darkness on it so I have to use the grief seed" The soul gem and the grief seed are placed in a near distance, the darkness starts going out of the soul gem, and goes into the grief seed, and the soul gem shines even more that the first time I saw it…
"Interesting…" I tried to look as amazed I could be, because I already knew everything.
"This reward and the witches are something hard to get… Both of them are desired by lots of magical girls because it gives more magical power, and because of that some of them have… Territorial fights… I was in some myself…" She looks down, probably remembering those times…
I already know it, you fighted Kyouko and other randoms I don't really care about…
"I- I see, so to summarize:
1- Make a contract for a wish, fight witches.
2- Get Soul Gem.
3- Fight the witches, get Grief Seed.
4- Make the soul gem touch the grief seed so it looks shiny again and use more magic.
5-Some magical girls fight for grief seeds in territorial wars" Mami-san smiles at me while nodding.
"Also something important, witches appear in places where lot of people and emotions gather, so you should check those places principally" I nod and did a mental note.
"I see… So, if I see a Grief Seed I should look for a magical girl… That's why I would like you to give me your number, so I can call you if I see one" I said.
"Oh sure, my number is…" I wrote her number and gave her mine if something happened.
"We have been talking all the day about witches and magical girls, let's talk about daily stuff now" I told Mami-san, she looked a bit shocked for a moment but then she smiled, and we talked some more about stuff.
I later noticed the time and decided it was time to leave.
"Aaaah~ Thanks for the cake and the tea Mami-san, I really enjoyed them, but it is time for me to leave" I stand up while yawning a bit… It was really late.
"I see, then I will walk you up to the apartment entrance" She stood up and we went to the entrance.
"Thanks a lot, I really enjoyed being here, I had fun and I learnt a lot of the magical girls and witches topic" I smiled and giggled.
"No problem, I really enjoyed your presence as well, if the situation is given, I would like to invite you again here Iris-san" Mami-san smiled as well.
"Really? Thanks a lot Mami-san, then… I will be going, bye bye, if I see you tomorrow I will make sure to greet you~" I told her while opening the door and leaving.
"Bye Iris-san, have a nice comeback to your house and be careful" She waves goodbye to me and so do I.
That girl, I want to be good friends with her, I'm sure we will fight good together… So I can't let her end as she did… All of us will join together at the end, and we will defeat The Night of Walpurgis, and get the happy ending hehehehe~.
I went to home, slept, had the same routine… And waited for next week to come already…
*: That's the pronunciation of the attack on Madoka Portable, as much as I can hear she says "Parottora Magica -Ero Infinitta", so I'm almost sure she says Pero, the literal translation would be "Magical but Infinite Bullet", but the name of the attack in english is "Infinite Magic Bullet Works" based on the skill tree in Puella Magi Wiki… I decided to add 2 t because it had a nice ring attached to it~. Also there is mistranslation of Regale Vastaria, it should be Legare Vastalia or Vastaria…
Author note:
1- I'm back, I was in a depression attack, because I didn't felt in the mood to write, because no one did reviews, even though it was a bit of idiot thing, I really want people to review, so please do, It makes me feel my story is appreciated ;A;.
2- Forget the music, it's too much work, I will do the choices and endings to this instead, so it would be after the reader choice~. I have a messy idea.
3- I didn't write the other chapters if you ask, but since I'm back, I will do my best.
4- The OC image, still didn't do it, I will leave it in someone else hands at the moment.
5- 4- was one the reasons I didn't make Roselle transform, also adding the shocked thing, it can happen you know :'.
Pls review and bye w.
