Oh. That makes me... less optimistic about just managing to conventionally overwhelm it, but fortunately that's not plan A this time, I guess.

"Yeah. I'm... wondering if maybe I should go to Haiti and talk to magical people there but possibly every magical that had been there is dead. Also it's been fifteen years."

Kyubey says magical people don't have to age or anything but that might not improve the average lifespan, yeah.

"There must've been other natural disasters since that were attributed to it but that was the main one I heard about. Maybe we should get military involved. ...the fact that it disappears afterwards is weird, though. Does it like spend all of its energy or something?"

Maybe it only discernibly affects the weather when it's actively hunting? It might use a barrier some of the time and not consistently, or something...

"Or it could be lots of different witches that are being called by the same name because they're so different from every other witch? Maybe every now and then something huge shows up. Which... would be depressing. ...where do witches even come from. Like are all of them from seeds and familiars, where did they come from."

Kyubey, where do witches come from - like initially, we know they can bud and hatch.

The ancestors of witches evolved like other creatures.

Yutaka lifts his head off Haru's lap obligingly then lies back on it when Haru returns. "I wonder how hard it'd be to get some rocket launchers."

Finding where they are seems like it'd be the hardest part, really.

"Eh."

What does that mean? "Stop underestimating me"?

"Yes. Maybe with a softer imperative*."

* ってくれ

Okay. I can't figure out how to pet your hair without that looking incredibly weird but I register that I would if I could.

He bumps his head lightly against Haru's arm then nuzzles him.

You're so cute.

"I aaaaaam and I'm yours forever." Nuzzle nuzzle.

How're you going to learn to use a rocket launcher?

"Trial and error and rewinding, probably! ...I really should check if the lip of my bag of holding opens wide enough to get arbitrarily large things in."
