*crowd arguing*

Civilian Male 1: I said sorry for pushing, and now you're picking a fight?!
Civilian Male 2: Yeah, what are you gonna do about it? And you even knocked me down!

Magical Girl: Hey, can we please stop fighting each other already? We're going to cause trouble in this neighborhood if we do!

Civilian Male 2: Fine, I'm leaving. It ain't worth my time anyway.

The drone is seen flying and eavesdropping. Daniel is seen controlling the drone, as he records and captures a photo of the magical girl. One thing he notices, that she has dog-like ears.

Daniel: A magical girl with dog-like ears.. No doubt about it.

The doggy magical girl runs behind a building, Daniel follows her with the drone.

Observing her, she seems to be doing something.

Daniel: What is she doing?..

After she does something, she leaps down.
The drone reveals a 3-diameter hole.

Daniel: A hole? I lost sight of her, but is this one of her abilities? She must have a certain magical ability, able to dig that big. Utilizing it as an escape route to relocate to another location where no one can find her easily, that's efficient like a short-route fire exit.

He leaves the area, and goes on the way back home.

Nearing back home, he notices a strange smell that is not good. It reeks of blood.

Revealing what is under the bushes, it is another corpse. Another dead female student is found.

He examines her ID. She is junior high school.

*phone dialing*

Daniel: Hello, police? I am reporting a dead body discovered in the bushes. Female.
Police (Phone): What does she look like?
Daniel: A junior high school, about 17 or 18 years old. I need assistance. I'm at the city park near Nishimonzencho.
Police (Phone): Approved. Please stand by, they are on the way. ETA 8 minutes.

The police arrives to inspect the dead body.
The same detective that Daniel met, Detective Takeo Sawashiro, also arrives in the scene.

Daniel: Detective.
Detective: Another one, huh? It looks like we're going to get our hands a bit full this time.
Daniel: Seems so. I'll check the autopsy report once we're done determining the cause of death.

Back at the morgue, the detective along with the staff shows the report. It says that she was shot by a large-caliber bullet from a rifle that used a larger caliber. The bullet exit wound was included.

Detective: The report here shows that there is also an exit wound. This is quite rare of a dangerous severe injury, and I know no one, not even a teenager like her would have survived this. A large-caliber rifle was used. Whoever did this must have a former military affiliation and an access to conventional special type of weapons.
Daniel: It's highly possible. But why a large-caliber rifle like 50 BMG? Why not just an ordinary 5.56 or 7.62? Those were very common just for hunting and long-range shooting competitions. Gee, this case's trails are about to go cold. And I'm the other officer or asset assigned to solve unresolved mysterious cases like these. I'll make a copy of the report to headquarters later. Have you talked to the intelligence division head?
Detective: I have. He gave me access to a few classified cases, including the current one that you and the others are assigned on. They're cooperating with us, and assisting us with authorization we need.
Daniel: We'll need it, despite the rumors of "magical girls" saving people randomly.
Detective: Magical Girls... Children's fantasy, huh? And I always thought they weren't real, despite they're for shows.
Daniel: They're trending top in the media right now, with more news about them popping up, but they're legends or myths. I'll see you again, Detective Sawashiro.

Daniel leaves with the copy of the autopsy report and sends it to the HQ.
