The next night
6:50 P.M.
Daniel got five photos of five magical girls. Two of them resembling angels, one wearing a white school swimsuit, one who has doggy ears and dog-like costume which he was after, and the who looks like a queen with a scepter.
Forensic Research Laboratory for Investigations
CCSS Intelligence Staff 1: Mr. Dinglasan, you may want to hear this... It's from an unknown transmission.
Daniel: Let's hear it.
Unknown Woman: There's something I'd like to ask, if that's alright?
Unknown Mascot: What is it, pon?
Unknown Woman: What exactly happens when a magical girl loses all of her qualifications?
Unknown Mascot: Magical Girls die when they lose their qualifications, pon.
Unknown Woman: You mean that metaphorically, as in they die as magical girls?
Unknown Mascot: No, they cease to function as living beings, pon.
Magical Girl 3: It's a log of Fav and Cranberry's conversation.
Magical Girl 2: They....die?
Magical Girl 1: No way! Because that would mean.... Nemurin is....
Magical Girl 5: If that's true, then....she's already dead.
CCSS Intelligence Staff 2: Magical Girls die?
Daniel: Search the name Nemu Sanjou immediately! We need additional info. As for that recorded log, save it.
CCSS Intelligence Staff 3: Right away, sir.
CCSS Intelligence Staff 1: Sir, we found it. This is the one.
They managed to get info about the girl who died.
Daniel: Nemu Sanjou... They mentioned her magical girl name "Nemurin".
CCSS Intelligence Staff 2: Nemurin? That sounds close, but similar to her original name. It's like blending names together or separately to sound similar.
Daniel: She died past 2 days ago. Her family is still in shock. We'll need to report this immediately as soon as possible.
Headquarters Building
Intelligence Staff 1: We found something and related. According to that backlog we recorded and hacked, the name Nemurin was linked to the person who died, Nemu Sanjou. It's actually possible that she was a magical girl. Magical Girl Raising Project is being used secretly as a life-or-death survival metaverse game to make these participants kill each other, it targets individuals who do not participate and kill them by cutting off their consciousness.
Headquarters Staff 1: We'll prioritize to save them and find a way to stop the game. Have the objectives to the officers and agents assigned to this case updated.
CCSS Intelligence Staff 1: Yes, sir.
Daniel left the headquarters building, going home.
On the way back, Johann radioed Daniel that there is a fight going on.
Johann: D, I need you here immediately. There's fight going on from those magical girls.
Daniel: Copy, on the way.
Daniel hurries to the place where the magical girls are fighting.
Johann: D!
Daniel: Johann, where are they?
Johann: At the warehouse district.
Daniel: Keep an eye on that white magical girl! There's another one, I gotta go after them. Go, I got it covered.
Johann sends in a drone to keep an eye on her. Daniel goes after the other group.
He quickly turned on the drone and it flies.
He monitors the magical girl who is wielding a sword, and is fighting the two angelic magical girls.
Daniel: A sword, huh?
The point of view switched to Johann.
He sees the queen magical girl on his drone's feed.
Johann: Who is she?...
She uses her magic to command the white magical girl to stay still. The other magical girl in a white school swimsuit gets the device out of her.
Johann: She is using magic to command the target to stay still? And that one, looks like she's holding a device. Geez, what's going on your end, D?
On Daniel's scenario, he sees the sword from the other magical girl grow big and longer.
Daniel: The sword can enlarge and lengthen itself? That is quite an ability. Hm..?
Minael: We still have one more trick!
Yunael: Tama!
The magical girl fell through the hole, it was a pitfall trap. She managed to jump back up.
La Pucelle: Huh? Oh no, Snow White!...
She enlarged her sword again, and hit the cell tower.
La Pucelle : Damn it!
*loud clang*
All three of them fall off the tower.
*scream*
The two angel-like magical girls saved the both of them. The white magical girl was saved by the other. They are still being monitored by Johann's drone.
Daniel is still monitoring the others. They managed to escape as a strategic retreat.
He follows them in their temple as their hideout. The drone is monitoring them continuously. The announcements from the mascot begins to be told.
Mascot: The weekly results are out, pon! The magical girl who has lowest amount of magical candies is.... Ruler, pon!
Daniel: Ruler?... Lowest amount of "magical candies"? ...
Something awful yet tragic happens, he sees Ruler brutally stabbed.
Daniel: (Oh no... She's been wounded!...?!)
Daniel: (It can't be... They intended to betray her?)
He manually flies the drone further to follow the magical girl who is carrying the corpse.
She sets her down beside a tree.
Swim Swim: I'll honor everything you taught me. Thank you for everything you've done.
She leaves her corpse. Daniel descends the drone and took a photo of the corpse of Ruler's true identity.
He flies the drone out, and manages to leave quickly before anybody notices.
