They've got a policy I've never managed to crack against telling what others have wished for or giving out a menu. Might be different if you actually spent a wish on it.

Permalink

Maybe. 

No witch-hunters?

Permalink

Not yet, at least. Bella does another dowse to make sure the witch is staying put. It is.

Permalink

How does that work? It just tells you where the nearest witch is?

Permalink

Yeah. Distance, direction too if I wave it around.

Permalink

I guess that's useful. The big witch didn't remember when she got that way?

Permalink

She and her friend said they hadn't been keeping track of time.

Permalink

But it's possible we're not too late.

Permalink

Just barely.

Permalink

She waits quietly.

Permalink

Nobody turns up to hunt this witch. Bella eventually calls it a night and they retreat to the hotel to sleep.

Permalink

She'll sleep a bit, then watch Bella and learn more random English words.

Permalink

There are plenty to be had.

And in the morning, breakfast and going to wait for the fluff and whatever magical girl it turns up out of the woodwork.

Permalink

She will look like an eager potential!

Permalink

The fluff rides on the girl's shoulder. The girl's in plainclothes, looks about thirteen, and has a lightning bolt where Bella has a diamond under her fingernail. "Hi!" she says. "I'm Tessa."

Permalink

"Hi! I am thinking about maybe being a magical girl but Kyubey said that some of the magical girls are really awful to each other. I don't want that, it'd make me so sad. Can you tell me who you've met, and what they're like?"

Permalink

"Oh, some of them are really nice -" She spots Bella's ring, gestures at her. "But some of them are just scared because they think other girls will take their witches and they won't have enough. And then you wouldn't be able to do magic anymore. But it's safer if you cooperate anyway!"

Permalink

"So if we ever stop all of the witches and make the whole world safe, then that's it, no more magic?"

Permalink

"I guess we'd retire, but there's always more witches somewhere," says Tessa. "It'd be like worrying about killing too many mosquitoes."

Permalink

"What if someone wishes there were no more witches?"

Permalink

"That'd be a really big wish," Tessa says, "I didn't think of it to try."

Permalink

"Kyubey, can I wish for that?"

Permalink

Too big, says Kyubey, you don't have enough magic for it, but you can kill lots of witches when you are a magical girl.

Permalink

"Awww. I guess it makes sense though, someone would have already wished it if it were possible. How about witches not being able to hurt people anymore, can I wish for that?"

Permalink

No, I'm afraid that won't work either.
