"Do the deities, such as Isis, who is nice, say anything about this?"

"A few gods pick magical girls like Puchuu, and they make those girls follow their rites. Even the impractical ones like sacrificing bulls."

"What does Isis being nice even consist of, here I was imagining you'd like, met her."

"She rewards magical girls with coins for protecting women, for teaching, and for getting proper educations!"

"Huh.

"And you recruit magical girls because..."

"To protect society and all of reality from the forces of darkness! We managed to pull this Earth out of the bad times over the last couple of millenia, and now it's mostly nice!"

"What bad times in history were forces-of-darkness related?"

"They made education and technology and specialization and stuff really hard."

"How?"

"They're attracted to good things."

"So - monsters go around looking for good things, and wreck them, and killing enough monsters lets civilization get more momentum going?"

"Basically, yeah! And then people can have nice lives with computers and plenty of food and things."

"That does sound good. How hard is it to fight a monster?"

"That depends on the monster and your powers! And how much you practice! You would mostly be using mind powers to mess with them, so other girls can get the tricky ones who make you forget they exist or turn people into their minions."

"- are those not the sort of thing that mind powers would be especially good against?"

"Puu...? That's why they would need your help! Psychic specialties don't tend to be as strong in close combat, so a good strategy would be you messing with monsters' minds or stopping them from using powers, while others actually hit them."

"Oh, so I'd be on a team? Is there a specific team that needs a psychic, or...?"

"I was thinking either a team, or calling you in for especially psychic-needing situations! If you want to be on a team I think we can work you in with everyone. It's usually a good idea to have backup, it's much safer than just a Puchuu looking out for you. And yes, we've been having a lot of trouble with mind-manipulating monsters, it'll be very helpful to have a psychic around whether you want to help a lot or only a little."

"Can I meet them and get their input on how to - spend my magic coins?"

"They're pretty busy most of the time but I can ask! A phone call might be easier than a real visit."

"Is monster hunting that time consuming?"

"There's always more monsters. And they also go to school and have hobbies and things?"

"Oh, I was imagining they'd mostly be too old for school, if they don't get old."

"A lot of magical girls look very young and keep up something like a normal teenager or older child life."

"Isn't that awkward with their parents?"
