Oh yum nomnomnom. Hunting is hungry work. Haru will kidnap many sushi off the conveyor belt.

Yutaka gives him a quick peck on the cheek because look. Look. He is SO CUTE.

Eee!

So what's next for tonight, another witch or making out or something else? He is following Haru's lead here.

"We've gotta save Tokyo in a month, let's see if we can hunt down another one especially while Yamanaka's on a diplomatic mission."

"Collecting seeds it is."

The nearest witch is... not in Yamanaka's territory.

"...chance to meet new magicals maybe?" he says, with only a half-hearted sort of hope.

"We should probably check with Yamanaka-san first... I really hate to leave it but, you know, all of Tokyo's on the line, and whoever the witch is eating probably lives here....."

"Yeah."

"I guess we could ask her if she's talked to whoever parks here yet but I don't want to interrupt her if she's in the middle of something..."

Kyūbey, do you know if the magicals over here are, like, okay with being contacted? Or if Yamanaka-san is too busy?

I don't know.

"So... what do we do?" Tell him what to do he doesn't like making decisions when they might be the wrong ones.

"I'm gonna. Detransform and text Yamanaka, and if she doesn't answer tonight, we leave it."

"Yeah. Good idea."

Haru finds a discreet alley in which to do this. "...we could go back to the very middle of Shinjuku and see if we can find a different one." He looks antsy.

"We could... Are you thinking you'll feel bad if this witch doesn't get addressed tonight because we went somewhere else on the off-chance that we might find another witch?"

"Kinda, but like, there are witches all over the world and we're not getting most of them, just - we noticed this one -"

"Yeah. If we knew for sure we'd find another one I'd be more okay with it but..."

"And there's no guarantee that if we do find another one it'll be within our - range -"

"If you'd be okay with maybe losing the memories and me eating the magic costs we could try getting it and rewinding if it goes too badly but it might go badly in a way where it's hard to rewind and that's, you know, a pretty steep cost. Not just in magic, that is."

"Yeah I think we have to worry not just about - having a confrontation tonight, in particular, but about not being able to rally people when Godzilla shows up."

"Yeah. ...I thought about suggesting that we camp near the witch and try to prevent it from catching people but I'm not sure what the effective range of a witch is and 'catching people' could be, like, quietly making someone off themselves in their apartment, there's no way for us to catch all of that. Plus no one might show tonight at all."

"Yeah, all of that." He sighs and looks at his phone and apparently doesn't find a reply from Yamanaka.
