Those same parts move again!

Can a magical girl do things other than transform and use spells?

Some magical girls have special weapons. It doesn't look like you do.

It would honestly be kinda unfair if I could generate mana and had a special weapon.

Oh like that's a bad thing.

He giggles. I don't know that I'll be doing lots of fighting, though.

It's pretty common, but you don't have to if you don't want to.

I mean, I might, but—how frequent is it anyway? For you to have to go fight evil?

Once or twice a month?

Hmm. Well, I could help, yeah, sure.

Yeah.

"Oh, that reminds me, we were going to tell you what was up with those papers we found."

"Oh, right, yes," he says, switching back to speech, to—what little he can say, anyway.

She will explain!

The short version is that they've been finding deeply worrying connections between some of the people they've busted lately and even more worrying connections that there's some deeper level to it.

What kinds of connections?

It varies. Money transfers, seemingly innocuous correspondence...

And what exactly is this deeper level suggested?

They're not sure yet.

What are their next steps to figure out what's going on? Who else knows about this? What's been done already?

Part of the problem is that all of the connections they've been able to find are to other villains, which means there's not a lot they can do when they don't have one to fight/go through their things. The government agency that took that one guy away knows, their parents know, some other magical girls know. Reconaissance.

Hmm... He wonders if he could perhaps help.

Maybe. Does he have a way in mind?

Well. Magic. His magic has practically no limits in what it can do.

Does he have specific ideas for how to use magic at the problem?

Well, remote viewing seems like the most obvious way.

"Remote viewing of what?"
