You start up a treadmill next to Inoue, intending to run a set beside her. She's pretty focused into her exercise, ears plugged up and not even realizing you're there. It takes you tapping her shoulder for Inoue to take notice of you.

"Ah... Sakurai-san, isn't it? Haven't seen you in a while.", she said, taking a moment to remember your name.

"Yeah, got myself some serious injuries when the base was attacked over a month ago. So, how are you doing?"

"Fine I guess. Things were hectic while you're gone with increased mahou shoujo attacks, not to mention our base is still under repair and shortage of operatives around."

After saying that, she seems to space out for a moment before you got her back to her senses.

"So, Inoue-san. Are you aware that Yuuki had returned back to the capital shortly after the attack?"

"Don't know, don't care."

Inoue turns cold when mahou shoujo was mentioned. She doesn't seem to dislike you in particular, but her deep seated hatred on those girls hints that she was affected greatly by them in the past.

"I saw you waving at Suzuki just now. You friends with him?"

"Yeah, hard to imagine huh? I grew up with him and his sister. He's such a hot head, you'd wonder why anybody would get close to-"

Somebody shouted at the top of their lung in the gym. From the voice, you can identify it is Suzuki.

"Enough fucking around asshole! You wanna fight?"

"Ara, ara~ Suzuki-chan's so short tempered! If you wanna duke it out, there's a ring over there. Just don't cry when you lose 'kay?"

You can practically see the fumes coming out of Suzuki's ears, and Maeda is wholly satisfied on his successful attempt at agitating Suzuki. You and Inoue both rushed to the scene, as do the other SWEAR staffs present there. Do you stop the fight or not?

>Stop it
>Wait and see

>>2988399
>Wait and see, only intervene if it gets too bloody.
Nah, they need to fight it out. It's clearly obvious that Maeda is looking for one and Suzuki is willing to deliver on it.

>>2988399
>Wait and see

Wait, don't Maeda and Suzu have three votes?

>>2988399

I wanna see Suzuki down for a peg.

Afterwards, both fighters are already ready on opposite side of the ring. Suzuki hangs on a corner with Inoue attempting to dissuade him from fighting. Not that Suzuki is listening anyway. Maeda cracks his neck and fist before strapping on his boxing glove. He climbs on his corner of the ring, howling, trying to hype up the audiences to no avail. It seems nobody is too keen on cheering for Maeda.... or so you thought.

Not a single person is excited for this fight. It seems that the crowd are more worried for Suzuki's safety than anything really. Looks like this isn't the first time someone got dragged into a ring with Maeda.

"Make sure to keep it clean, you two. We still need you fit for duty afterwards.", you said to the both of them, with only Maeda listening.

"Don't worry Sakurai-chan. Imma just show this uppity puppy what a real dog looks like, kay?"

And the match begins. Maeda's not looking like he'll be making the first move anytime soon, so Suzuki took the initiative. The half blooded Japanese man can throw some punches that's for sure. He's been maintaining a flurry of blows without looking even a wee bit exhausted at all. Still, it is clear as day to anybody that Maeda's just playing with him. The difference in skill is sorely with Maeda dodging and sidestepping gracefully past Suzuki's aggressive style of fighting.

Soon, even the seemingly inexhaustible strength owned by Suzuki seems to deplete as his movements become more and more sluggish. Maeda looks fine as always, preserving his energy through small but precise movements.

"Fucking.... coward! Stop dodging!"

Yet another one punch avoided by Maeda.

"You're strong Suzuki-chan, I'll give you that, but you're still wet behind the ears. Let me show you why they call me the Mad Dog of XX!"

Maeda suddenly stood still, tanking one of Suzuki's punches head on!

"Gotcha reta-"

In a blink of an eye, one of Maeda's fist had already landed on Suzuki's stomach. The sheer pact of the blow leaves Suzuki speechless, unable to recover from the pain in time for the next beating. A left hook straight to the face sends the once energetinc man to the corner of the ring. There, a vicious pummeling that makes even you cringe in pain begins. Maeda leaves a few seconds of gap for Suzuki to lift his fist in retaliation before continuing his flurry of blows towards his face. A monstrous grin can be seen clearly in the Mad Dog's face before you decided it's time to stop. You climbed up the ring and held both of his hand, shouting for Maeda to stop.

[cont.]

>>2988599

After that incident, Suzuki fainted for a few hours before he finally came to, face swollen with bruises. Inoue's impression on Maeda had visibly lowered far more than it already was and further reinforced his reputation. Administration shrugged off the outcome of the fight as "accidents during training" and moved on from it, possibly to avoid further complications. For the rest of the day, nothing of note had happened. Today's patrol was as peaceful as it can be. If you're a paranoid man you would think it is TOO peaceful.

Now, you are at home, and just finished an early dinner. The time is 8:30 p.m., and you're still not sleepy yet. What do you do?

Sorry m8, completely forgot to do that.

You know how in anime and mangos that events like this are weirdly localized in Japan and outside world are never spoken off. It's easier like that since I still haven't gone that deep into worldbuilding and neither do I intend to touch on anything outside of Japan in this setting anytime soon. But hey, if anything like this happened in a western world you bet it'll be closer to Life is Strange than a cutesy slice of life anime.

>What are the laws regarding mahou shojou exactly? Does being one when committing a crime automatically cause a harsher sentence? Could the first once have claimed self defense or manslaughter, turn herself in for a few years in Japanese Juvie, and basically get off Scott Free? Is it outright illegal to be one instead of simply not committing crimes? I imagine logistically it would be a bitch for SWEAR if magical girls could just walk out in the middle of the daylight to get groceries. Would also make a great way for some of them to try and troll SWEAR via not actually breaking any laws

Mahou shoujos that are identified at an early age are taken in by the government as quickly as possible and kept in a super sekrit facility. Of course, the parents of these kids must consent first (not that they have much choice in that matter anyway) and given proper payment for their trouble. Those who committed manslaughter through their powers are arrested if they did not resist. Depending on the severity, they may either be kept in the same facility as the young ones or put to a much more intense correctional program should their powers prove too volatile. As for the violent ones.... well, you saw what happened to them didn't you? The process of reintegrating mahou shoujos back into spciety had been costly and rocky in the past decades, with only a few cases of successful reintegration. As such, the government is looking for a much more practical uses of their gifts such as law enforcement services.

>>2989356
So they immediately get locked up in some secret lab just for existing? No wonder there's a Mahou Shojou rebellion. It also means that it makes more sense for them to go completely apeshit since they have nothing to lose at that point. Those girls need to rob some communist gold, buy a small country or large island, and declare it their Mahou Shojou domain. Or just fly outside of Japanese airspace?

With your (brand new) jacket on, you decided to take a walk through the a night in the eve of winter. It is an otherwise uneventful trip from your apartment to the surrounding area. In time, your mind started to wander off somewhere else. People you pass by slowly fades into blurriness, building lights and business signs merge into myriad of colours. The mist emitted from your mouth dances to the rhythm of passing vehicles, laughter of school girls on late night outing and sighs of middle-aged office workers. Then, something cold touches the tip of your nose. A single drop of snow. Immediately this reminds you of Yuuki, the girl whom you only spent a short while with but grew to be fond of. It is without a doubt in your heart that the feeling is mutual. Good grief, you're getting too sentimental for your age.

Scratching your head, you figured that you'd want to get more infos concerning the recent attacks against swear in the past month. You have some friends in the police force from back when you're still working there, so maybe they could help.

-------------------------------------------

Idly, you twirl an empty coffee can in your hand before it slips, falling down to the river over the railing you're leaning on.

"Hey, littering is a crime y'know?"

You switched your attention to that gruff and course, yet familiar voice. It is Inspector Takahashi, a senior member of the police force whom you were good friends with. He's a man of good morals, but knows when to turn a blind eye when he needs to, which explains how he's been in the game for so long. Can't say the same for you. Either way, you both had history of working together before and each had kept the other's back more times than the other can count. He'll answer to the best of his abilities.

"So, what did you call me here for pal?"

What specifics would you like to ask of this man?

>Write in

>>2989457
It was probably a spiral effect- a couple of early bad apples spoiled the bunch post-war which caused paranoia, and now it's all going downhill and probably won't end well at all. IMO the biggest thing that's keeping normal humans alive is that organization seems thin on the ground for most MGs. Even this Black Witch Coven sounds more like a small time group.

If MGs actually got any kind of organized, dedicated leadership and financial backing, they'd be a sincere threat to the world at large. You need dedicated task forces just to down one or two MGs. Imagine the resources needed to combat, say, a full squadron. It'd be a situation where it'd be 10 vs. 1000 and the 10 would be the odds on favorites.

"I'd like you to cough up some infos for me buddy, but not here though."

"Those kind of infos eh? I know a place where we can talk in private. Good ramen too."

"That ramen stall you treated me to last time?"

"Yep."

---------------------------------------------------

In a stall parked in a rather secluded corner of the city, you and Takahashi are enjoying a hot bowl of ramen and some sake, a meal suited for cold nights such as this.

"So munch how's the SWEAR life going?"

"Been pretty hectic so far. Not even a week in and I'm already hospitalized. Just got back on duty today too."

Takahashi nods understandingly while wolfing his meal down.

"So, what do you want to ask me about. Don't worry, the uncle running this store's a tight-lipped man. Just fire away, pal!"

First things first, you want leads on who leaked information about the SWEAR officers in the hospital.

"That's a tough one. First of all, the info on the SWEAR members themselves are not exactly top secret, but these damn mahou shoujos seems to have their own channel on what's going on, legal or illegal. Well, around this city at the very least."

Next, you asked for information on the Mahou Shoujo group and what groups of criminals might be working with them.

"Man you name it, pal. Chinese triads, yakuzas, drug rings, these mahou shoujos had dipped into all of them. Clear as day that they've been helping these criminals for money, and they're smart enough to cover their tracks. The Black Witch Coven is the biggest of them all, taking hit missions and the likes. Due to their size though, chain of command gets blurry and they in turn gets sloppy at times while doing their job. The second most notorious group is the Jade Palace, a much more covert and smaller group fueling gang wars and protecting drug circulation in the underworld. Status quo in the criminal world had been shaken up so hard that even our old higher ups are losing their additional source of income, those corrupt bastards. I think a fair few even have their chains pulled by mahou shoujos that are privy to their backroom dealings!"

On to the last question, you ask for any rumors on the street you should know.

"Nothing comes to mind... wait! Yeah there is one! Word on the streets is that there is another faction of mahou shoujos on the prowl, and they're acting as vigilantes thwarting crimes and stuff. They're pretty sneaky too and nobody had ever caught them in the middle of the day. A welcome change to have a cute girl NOT trying to blast us polices' faces off."

After a few more servings, you concluded your little meet up with Takahashi and called it a night. He tried to get you to stay longer but you brought up that you have to go to work in the morning tomorrow. Exchanging goodbyes, you return to your apartment and fall asleep.....

[The next day.]

It is 12 o'clock. You're in a truck filled with other SWEAR operatives moving in to deal with another mahou shoujo incident. A girl had awakened her powers out in the open and is unable to control it. Multiple people are injured by her and it's not getting better anytime soon. She did not display any willing aggression so the main objective is set on subduing her. A simple and straightforward mission, or so it seems.

The truck stopped around 100 meters away from the target. A mini whirlwind had formed around the target who is crouching outside of a cafe. The wind movement around her shredded chairs and tables into pieces with ease, making it hard for anything to physically approach.

As per procedure, a barricade had been set up around the target, preventing civilians from entering the target's vicinity. The tactic that is to be employed in this situation wold be negotiations to calm down the newly awakened mahou shoujo before resorting to physical means. Just like last time, the operatives are divided to those who will engage the target directly and others who will stay back and guard the parameter.

You are part of the...

As >>2989826 says, we're a lot more chill about MGs than most these days, it seems.

>>2989805
Sounds like the sort of situation Yuki needs to be an advisor on. Maybe she has some tips for the girl on how to control her power if we don't have any documentation for ourselves?

>>2989853
From the sound of things, she's emotionally distraught which is more than likely fucking with control over her power.
Let's see if doing basic calming exercises will get some ground with her so we can buy time for the adviser to get here.

>>2989889
I don't doubt that there are a great deal of rumors and extremely explicit doujins concerning what the government does to girls they capture that might be making things worse as she worries about what's gonna happen to her. A fellow Mahou Shojou reassuring her she won't get vivisected could go long way?

>>2989805
>former
Gotta wonder how old we are. 25 - 32?

>>2989805

Hope that she isn t to mad, because our SWEAR armor seems good just for protection from guns and similar small fire weapons (at least is something), not for a wind that becomes soo strong that we start losing body parts.

Looks like you'll be joining the frontlines this time too. Difference is this time, your finger's on a megaphone switch rather than a trigger. You can feel small pieces of wood and metal colliding with your armor the closer you get to the scared little girl.

"Ready tasers. Only fire when she gets aggressive.", the squad leader says, reminding the men under his command including you.

"Sakurai, its all yours now."

Nodding, you get a walked a bit closer to the mahou shoujo. The wind movement almost made you lose your balance, but thankfully you were able to recover your footing before you embarrass yourself. From the info you've acquired through the comms, the girl's name is Sayuri Ai, a grade schooler no older than 11. Her mother was reluctant to leave the place when she awakened her powers, but was pulled away by another visitor of the cafe.

"Sayuri-san, please calm down. SWEAR is here to help you."

"No! You're lying! SWEAR soldiers shoot mahou shoujos! I don't want to get hurt! I want my mommy now!"

She's absolutely terrified, and perfectly, or at least, partially aware of the fate of mahou shoujos. Still, you can't go back empty handed. You must calm her down or at least make her lower the winds by a few notches so sedatives can be applied. What tactic will you use in doing this?

I work with kids on a daily basis, this is all too familiar. Also this is like, step one of getting an unruly kid to calm down.

>>2991511
In fact, I'd recommend that anyone within visual range drop their weapons. Not EVERYONE, but the people she can obviously see. It's a matter of give and take.

Click. Clack. Pfssshhhhh.

The sealed confines of your combat armor is opened as you opened your helmet, holding it between your right armpit. The menacing visage of SWEAR combat helmet is replaced with a much more human and reassuring face.

"See, Sayuri-san? Nii-san is not scary. Just calm down okay, everything will be fine. If you stop throwing a tantrum, your mommy will come and see you."

Sniffling, the wind around her seems to slow down and floating debris starts flying closer to the ground. Still, she's not wholly convinced that she's safe. You motioned the others nearby to lower their tazers and tranquilizer guns.

"Deep breaths, Sayuri-san. Count to ten."

As all the operatives lift their hand up showing that they are no longer armed, Sayuri's power proceeds to fade. She stand there looking at the ground like a child waiting to be punished. You approached carefully, not wanting to be shredded to pieces in a sudden burst of her power.

"Nii-san.... am I a naughty kid? Will mommy be angry?"

You sighed, putting a hand on her shoulder and smiling knowingly.

"Of course not. Come, let's go see your mom, 'kay?"

She nods, taking your hand and walking slowly to one of the SWEAR trucks ready for extraction. As she sits down, a medical team carefully administered sedatives in the form of a pill. The child meekly complied and quickly fall asleep soon after. As Sayuri sleeps soundly, the SWEAR operatives dismantled barricade and ready to evacuate the area.

Suddenly though, a bolt of lightning flies out of nowhere, incapacitating a few SWEAR operatives. The sudden attack sparks some nerves in your brain. You recognize that power, that voice, that face... It is Kaminari-sama, the mahou shoujo responsible for the murders of Captain Iwafumi and few others! And she's not alone this time as she brings two other mahou shoujos to assist her.

"Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen! I'm in a pretty bad mood today so I'll just get this straight. Hand us over the kid and we'll walk away peacefully, simple as that. What say you?"

All of the operatives present immediately readied their rifles. The answer to this confrontation is clear. Only one side will come out unscathed!

"Ah, what a pain in the ass! Fine then, you wanna play rough? Kaminari-sama'll grant you your wish!"

Their main objective is to kidnap Sayuri for whatever nefarious purpose they had in mind. Command from higher ups told you and the others to prioritize evacuating Sayuri at all cost. She's a powerful mahou shoujo and letting her fall into the enemy's hands would spell much more trouble for everyone in the future! The truck containing the little girl is ready to go. Do you stay and fight or do you follow Sayuri and protect her?

>Stay and fight

You and around five others jumped into a truck with Sayuri's sleeping body secured on a bed. The vehicle then went full speed ahead, leaving the area. Explosions and screams can be heard, growing fainter as you get further and further from the battlefield. Just as your squad thought they could take a breather, the vehicle shook with great intensity, nearly throwing everybody down on the floor.

"Shit, one of them is pursuing us. She's fast! It's the mahou shoujo just now that uses lightning!"

The truck swerved wildly as the driver tries his best to get the mahou shoujo from your group's tail. Cracks of thunder emerges with each hit landed on the truck. Soon, the vehicle can no longer sustain more damage as it cease to move any longer. Bracing for the worst, your group quickly opened the backdoor of the truck, formed a firing line and closed the door immediately after. Kaminari-sama slows her flight, levitating just above ground in front of your squad.

She saw your face without the helmet and laughed hysterically. You're sure she recognizes you.

"Oh goodness! I can't believe it. Not only am I given another chance for redemption by Mother, I also get to kill the guy who caused it all in the first place! Hahahah!"

Her maniacal laugh quickly changes to that of rage.

"Forget about kidnapping that brat! I'll enjoy tearing you limb from limb you asshole!"

Thunderous clouds forms just above the mahou shoujo as the fight begins. You too readied yourself for battle, putting back your helmet on. Do or die, only one will prevail!

"You want me? Come and get me!"

Sparks start to fly towards your squad. Each spot zapped by the flash of white sizzles, demonstrating the sheer lethality Kaminari-sama possesses.

"When I'm done with you, you'll wish you're dead!"

The intensity and speed of the projectiles she deliver would knock out anybody in a single hit that's for sure, and so it did. One operative slowed down to catch his breath, only to be launched backwards at great speed upon being hit. Of course, your side isn't going to stay on the defensive. In the time lapse between each of her shots, your squad sprayed her with bullets, though most were zapped away. Soon, the battle devolves into a battle of focus, on who will lose their momentum first.

Kaminari-sama's techniques are sloppy that is for sure, and against trained combatants it is a matter of time before she makes a mistake. You feigned exhaustion, which lead to her turning her attention to you instead of one fo your squad members she's already aiming at. A total of 5 seconds gap as she turned to you earned her a few bullet wounds on the abdomen, shoulder and legs. The bird is now too injured to fly, or at least that's what it looked like at first.

Sitting down, bloodied, Kaminari-sama howled at the sky. The storm clouds above her suddenly struck one of your squad members down with blinding thunder. Soon, two others were done in. You wasted no time to end this fight once and for all, but your assault rifle was shot off your hands by her. As it was that night you first met her, you go berserk, instinct guiding your actions. Pinning her down, both of your hands clasped tightly around her neck, choking the life out of her.

"L... t me go-okh!"

She's clawing over your armored arms to no avail. A heavy force hits you in the back, which is Kaminari-sama's thunder. Still, that did little to lighten your grip on it's owner. Soon, her eyes grow faint and her struggles stopped. The skies cleared up and the storm cloud disperses.

Kaminari-sama is dead.

You fall beside the mahou shoujo's corpse, ready to faint, until you heard your surviving squad mates screaming. With whatever amount of strength left in your body, you take a peek. A woman clad in black, akin to that of a witch, effortlessly wrangled open the truck's door, your comrades lying either dead or unconscious. She took Sayuri and cradled the little girl's body within her arms. You tried to reach out for her but your body betrays you and shuts down.

Flip her the finger.

>>2991632

It has been nearly 2 weeks since your failure to protect Sayuri. It is confirmed that the group that kidnapped her is the [Black Witch Coven] Even now, you wonder what kind of fate awaits her, away from her beloved family and with a group of uncaring criminals. Getting sent off into a facility for life might have been bad, but only god knows what her future holds now. Her mother partly blames the terrorist group for taking away her child but also blames SWEAR for their failure to protect her. You don't know whether you should feel guilty for your lack of power or angry at her selfishness. You and your comrades put their lives on the line for Sayuri. Heck, some of them even died!

Either way, the search for her is still active, and you hope she can be recovered soon.

You sit on your desk, still down in the dumps from what had happened. You lazily click out whatever paperwork you're doing alphabet by alphabet, intentionally delaying your progress.

"Sakurai-san!"

You jumped out in shock when a woman's voice called you out of nowhere! It is Inoue.

"Ugh. Fine."

"We know you're not happy with what happened that day, Sakurai-san, but you got out with your life. That means learning from your failures and moving on."

You simply nods to her words. After Inoue excused herself, you took the elevator up towards the chief's room.

---------------------------------------------------------------

Knock, knock

"Come in."

You slowly opened the door, meeting your aged higher-up. Inside, a surprise awaits you.

"Good to see you again, Mr. Sakurai."

That secretarial look, that curvature. Yep, it is definitely Ms. Izumi, the supervisor of Yuuki for her short period of stay in SWEAR.

"Close the door and take a seat, Sakurai. We've go to talk.", the Chief said.

Sitting on the opposite side of the Chief and Ms. Izumi, the lady initiated the conversation.

"I'm sure you're puzzled as to why you are called, and why I'm here. Our intention of calling you is related to the mahou shoujo assistance program we did 2 months ago. You were one of the many across the nation involved in this program, and it brought mixed results despite only lasting for a few days."

"And....?"

"I am glad to inform you that Yuuki's breaking of protocol during the day the base was assaulted not withstanding, XX prefecture branch of SWEAR are one of the very few that showed close to zero implications whatsoever. As such, we have decided to redo the program and focus on the prefecture that gave favourable results and the staffs responsible for it. Yuuki spoke fondly of you, and we are thinking of putting you in the center of the program, and much more personally involved in it this time around. To that end, we ask for your cooperation. Of course, you would be properly rewarded for your trouble."

Redoing that program huh? Is it a good idea? Friction with mahou shoujo had been at an all time high lately due to increased unlawful mahou shoujo actions around the nation. Anti-mahou shoujo sentiments had spread far further than it was before. Would the public be happy with a mahou shoujo working with SWEAR who's trying to stop them in the first place?

"The government desire proper reintegration of mahou shoujo into the society as fast as possible in hopes of stopping more needless lives lost. This program is one of the many done in hopes of achieving that very goal. Please think of your decision thoroughly. Of course, I'm open to any kind of question you may have about this program.", Ms. Izumi said.

>Yes
>No

>>2991784
>If we're the best station for this in the country then things must have really gone bad in the other places.
>I think you might need to hire a spare psychiatrist if you're gonna do that. I've not been here long, but no matter how you slice it, an important part of the job is killing little girls even if they are homicidal little girls. Most of the guys here are off in the head somewhere because of it or do their damnedest to not think of them as people by being as clinical as possible with the protocol. The more she integrates the more they're forced to actually think of them as little girls. We need to head that off before anyone actually snaps from it. I'm sure they could work double duty as a profiler or something. That's just my recommendation anyway.

>>2991784

>>2991799

>>2991784

>>2991784

>>2991799

And whatever way you slice it, Sakurai and SWEAR failed to protect Sayuri.
Did he and SWEAR management apologize for their failure? If yes, then the responsibility to accept the apology shifts to the mother.

If they didn't, and just say they did the best they could? Then socially they would be the ones at fault.
Japanese culture takes responsibility seriously. Saying it's not your fault, or that it couldn't be helped, means that you can't be trusted.

>>2991799
>>2991824
>>2991832

"If this is the best station in the country, then things must have gone really bad in other places. Holy..."

"I think you're misunderstanding something, Mr. Sakurai. Yours, and other prefectures, are chosen for fulfilling many criteria not just limited to the behavior of the mahou shoujo, but also the behavior of those around her. As I have stated, your treatment of Yuuki had her stabilized for the most part, even more emotionally open after her time here. You gave one of the best results, and therefore that is why you're chosen, understood?"

There's an insincerity to the smile given to you, a combination of ridicule and annoyance.

"I think you might need to hire a spare psychiatrist if you're gonna do that. I've not been here long, but no matter how you slice it, an important part of the job is killing little girls even if they are homicidal little girls.

The more she integrates the more they're forced to actually think of them as little girls. We need to head that off before anyone actually snaps from it. I'm sure they could work double duty as a profiler or something. That's just my recommendation anyway."

Her face visibly twitches, but her composure had not yet been broken.

"Mr. Sakurai. I must ask, would you let a single flower grow if it costs you the whole garden? Removing the organism damaging the ecosystem is an act of pest control, and should be done without hesitation. If the gardener is unwilling or unable to, it is in the best of intentions to replace them, is it not?"

Cold! So cold it could freeze hell itself!

"Ah, what am I doing, getting sidetracked like that? Of course, your suggestion were duly noted Mr. Sakurai. For now though, I must once again ask if you are willing to partake in this program, or not."

After taking a few moment of thinking you decided that....

"Yes. I'll do it."

"Excellent. For now I require both yours and the Chief's thumbprint on these papers and we'll be good to go!"

Completing the procedure, Ms. Izumi collects the forms that were signed and sealed them off within a briefcase. She excused herself, bowing and exiting the room before you. Since you had nothing else to talk to the Chief, you too made yourself scarce.

[Cont.]

Your shift ends at approximately 8 p.m., and you're walking alone to the train station. It seems that whoever's supervising this program as a whole is eager to start it back up as soon as possible. Next week, the promised "new arrivals" shall come and you'll be responsible for it. Nothing that happened today eased up the stress acquired from the last operation. What a drag...

Do you go back home directly or do some other activities before that?

>Ramen stand and drinks with our old buddy. Gonna need to ask him some management tips and maybe buy a textbook on child psychology. Had to take a course in general psychology back when there was a chance you'd make detective so it shouldn't be too hard to pick up.

Arcades have too many games where you shoot mahou shojou in them nowadays. It helps funding but we don't need be doing the same thing as at work at an arcade. Maybe that old one you used to hang out at has a better selection.

>>2991923
Why a textbook on child psychology ?

You think we will find Sayuri again ?

>>2991948
I figured the new arrivals were a bunch of mahou shojou. Seems like even a basic refresher could be useful in handling them. They aren't adults yet after all so we can't completely treat them like one.

>>2991874
>>Write in
Call up our old police buddy and have some drinks. Go to an oden place this time, it fits better while drinking. Ramen is for after drinks, you know.

>>2991952
buy a copy on teenagers too then.


and i support, but we should do more military training.
perhaps something on leadership and mind if people on swear teams keep becoming corpses, they will give us a squad leader role pretty quickly.

I wish Izumi was young enough to express as a mahou shoujo, just so we could spout her gardening metaphors right back at her while gunning her down.

>>2991977
Her gardening metaphor was shit anyway.
If SWEAR were the tools in that metaphorical garden then not maintaining them properly would be an act of foolishness. Training officers costs a considerable amount of money and tossing it down the drain like that instead of making sure veteran officers can keep working is stupid.

Will child psychology books offer much when dealing with what are essentially child soldiers? I feel like this might be a little more advanced than what we can easily pick up from a bookstore. Though I suppose there's no harm in seeing what we can order online.

>>2992018
The real endgame is going for karaoke with Maeda.

>>2992031
There's bound to be some specialist books but I'm assuming the QM isn't gonna make things TOO hard on us via handing us PTSD ridden bundles of joy. I'm sure the department has some contacts with professors on Mahou Shojou. We could call one up that's specialized in psychology and ask for any papers they recommend us reading if you're worried.

>all this talk about PTSD and child soldiers
>all I want is to operate operationally in a (not)Jin Roh armor with a (not)mg42

oh well maybe we'll get a daughteru we can fail to protect

>>2992042
I think they will just give us Yuuki and we will remain in the squad.
Or they could assign in a new squad with Yuuki.
Maybe other 2 but that would be too much, and if we need to control and teach them in mission/base then it would be better if they just give us a promotion to squad leader and control a new SWEAR squad + Yuuki and some other Mahou shojo (a new SWEAR squad with volunteers newbies that don t have too many problems with mahou shojou, and are not retarded. Similar to us) instead of having essentially two squad leaders in just one squad that need to costantly talk to each other for know the orders they give.
we should ask for a promotion.

I have the feeling that this is slowly becoming XCOM: Magical girl Edition

>>2992108
I'm pretty sure that this was the promotion. She did mention a hefty pay increase. (probably all in hazard pay)

Yeah, looks like you're not going home early after all. A bowl of hot udon and some sake sounds like a good idea for cold nights like these. Without wasting any time, you immediately contacted Takahashi.

"Hey buddy, whats up?"

"Not much. You wanna go and have a drink today with me? Its been a while."

"Yeah sure. Just send me the place where you want to go today and I'll see you around..... 10 o'clock. Don't stiff on me when I get there, ya hear?"

Click

--------------------------------------------------------------

With an hour or so left, you walked to a nearby bookstore to get some books that'll prepare you for the coming program. Who knows if its Yuuki or some other bundle of trouble that'll be sent here from whatever facility they're kept in. For now you focused on getting a book that would prepare you mentally for the task at hand. After half an hour browsing through the many rows of books present in the store, you picked out 2 books involving children psychology. One is a simple guidance book and another more resembling a thick university textbook. Both costs a bit of cash, but its good to always be prepared.

--------------------------------------------------------------

"Ahhh! That hits the spot!"

Takahashi then burps loudly after gulping down a glass of sake in one go. A heavy drinker for as long as you've remembered being around him, he can drink down everybody in the police department without breaking a sweat. You yourself enjoyed the alcohol moderately as you have to work in the morning tomorrow.

"So, you'll be wrangling government approved mahou shoujos starting next week huh? Tough luck. I would've ran the moment one of them steps into the same room as me."

"Yeah... and the broad dropping the news to me was a real bi-", you said, stopping abruptly as the customers in the row of seats behind you gets increasingly louder.

"...and he said "Oooooh, we SWEAR babies have it tough. This program'll hurt their fee-fees.". Fuck that! I've got my own share of problems, having to manage those little buggers and this damn program. Why can't everybody just do as they are told and stop making my job harder?!", a female voice spoke at an uncomfortably high volume.

"Akiyama-san, get down.... People are looking at you!", another female voice meekly responded.

"Damn, looks like someone else got it tougher than you. Well, a job's a job right?", Takahashi said before draining another glass off its contents.

Still, the customer behind you is getting increasingly annoying not just to yourself, but also the other patrons of this restaurant. You don't think you could enjoy your meal too much with some crazy bitch screaming at the top of her lung behind you. What do you do now?

>Get up and tell her to shut up

>Try to ignore her, maybe the store owner will kick her out soon enough

>Write in

>>2993885
>Turn around, see specifically who it is first before causing a ruckus. Then try to sympathize.

>>2993885
>I suspect that's her and I'm not sure if that's her screaming about me recommending an extra psychologist to monitor the situation or my captain is secretly pissed about my new duties. I hope I don't know her.

>>2993894
Oh yeah, that didn't even occur to me. Probably the case.

>>2993894
>This

It's like, when you think about it, her being pissed makes so little sense.

>Guy actually gets some of the only good results from the program.
>Offer to make him more integral to the program in order to replicate his success.
>Guy mentions/suggests actions he would take in order to replicate said success
>Get mad at suggestions because ????

Like...what were you expecting him to do?

>>2993902
The only thing that would make even the tiniest bit of sense about that is if our suggestion would be construed as a form of challenging her authority, since it would imply that she was so stupid as to not have considered that option at all in the first place.

>>2993894
Either way I'm supporting this.

>>2993902
Maybe she didn't think of it or connect the dots to why the other precincts went so bad and she's super pissed about that and mentally shoving the blame elsewhere for her not being perfect?

You slink your head further down, a vague sense of dread filling you. You do not want to face whoever's behind you.

"What's the matter buddy? Someone you know?"

"I'm not sure. She sounds like that girl I told about to you just now. Don't know if she's screaming about me recommending an extra psychologist to monitor the situation or my captain is secretly pissed about my new duties. I REALLY hope it's not her."

You slowly turned around, looking over the bench you're sitting on. On the other side, two woman are present and one of them is standing with one of her legs on the table, singing a manly song from the 80-s in a drunken stupor. Yeah, that's definitely Ms. Izumi. Unfortunately for you, your eyes met with hers, and almost instantaneously she sobered up, fixing her outfit and sitting properly. Of course, you closed your eyes and gave a knowing smile, turning back to your meal and pretending that you didn't see anything.

Of course, this whole incident will not solve itself that easily. What you can only perceive as Ms. Izumi's arms wrapped around you above your shoulders, her hair dangling above your head. When you look up, you can only describe Ms. Izumi's facial expression as that of emotionless malice.

"Ichijou.... Sakurai. For this sin you must die!"

With great speed she switched over her posture to that of a chokehold on your neck. She boasts quite the unnatural strength for a woman that looks like she spend most of her time within an office. You can feel your soul leaving the body....

"Oi, you bitch! Let him go!"

Takahashi jumped into action, trying to rangle her arms off your neck.

"Akiyama-san stop!", her female companion said as she tried to pull her away.

You wake up on your apartment's sofa. Your neck hurts like a bitch and your memory of last night is blurry at best. So, let's recall what happened.

-------------------------------------------

"St...op...urk-"

"I cannot allow you to leave this place alive, Ichijou Sakurai!"

"Eek! Stop, Akiyama-san! You'll kill him!"

"I said let go you stupid bitch!"

All of the restaurant's patron are now focused on a comical spectacle happening nearby. A woman choking another man as two others try to separate them.

"Eh? What are they doing?"

"Lovers quarrel maybe?"

"Money's on that hot babe choking out that guy."

Despite the severity of the situation, none of the people present there are willing to help, not wanting to be dragged into it. The restaurant staffs did try to extinguish the situation, but Izumi's grip will not loosen. This is of course bad for you as humans require air to live and her chokehold is making both rather hard to do.

"Forgive me, Akiyama-san."

Izumi's meek companion pulled out a small cylindrical object which she would later point towards the drunken Akiyama. Something was sprayed at her face, causing her to shriek as she let go of your neck to cover her eyes. This allows the restaurant staffs to grab the horrible drunkard and toss her out.

"This isn't the end, Ichijou Sakurai! I'll chase you to the end of the world!!!"

Now that the little brawl had ended, the captive audiences returned to their meal. Tonight's incident will surely be posted somewhere on social network and video sharing services. Izumi's partner goes to both you and Takahashi to apologize.

"I'm sorry for my friend's... rudeness. Please don't hold a grudge over this!"

She skittered off out of the restaurant, no doubt banned from visiting it ever again alongside Izumi. Takahashi turned his attention to you after that.

"Well that was something ain't it, buddy?"

You couldn't answer him as you've already fainted. Izumi's assault had rendered you unconscious and there your memory stops for the night.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Takahashi left a note for you on the coffee table. It says that he drove you home and carried you up to your apartment, leaving you on the sofa. That's why you wake up in your house instead of on the roadside. At the very least you did not lose your life last night. Looking at the clock, there is only half an hour before your shift begins! Not bothering to clean yourself up, you grabbed your bag and rushed to catch the next train.

[Now, I'm open to writing a side story where you will change perspective to another character for a while and play in an event in their life. You can choose which one of the 4 I've given in the choices or just stay as Sakurai for now.]

[Shun Takahashi: Midnight Blues]

Clouds of smoke escapes Takahashi's mouth as he inhales the final puff off his cigarette. Spitting on the remains and extinguishing it, he tosses the butt into the item compartment of his car. He is now waiting for someone outside of a 5 star hotel alone in his car. Why is he here? What or who is he waiting for? These question will be answered soon enough.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

After helping his friend return home that night, Takahashi remembered in the middle of the trip home that Sakurai was carrying a plastic bag with books in it when he arrived at the restaurant. Of ocurse, he didn't bring it along when carrying Sakurai. He contemplated for a while whether to spend nearly half an hour returning back to the restaurant and acquiring the books or to just forget it. With a heavy sigh, he chose the former.

Luckily, the staffs of the restaurant kept it safe before any patrons were to take it. Thanking them, Takahashi quickly reached for the warmth of his car and away from the biting cold of the night. Putting aside the damned books, Takahashi saw something... incriminating.

He very much recognize the man walking past his car. He reports to the fat tub of lard nearly everyday! It is Machirou Munakata, commissioner of the XX prefecture police station and one of the most corrupt son of a bitch Takahashi ever knew. Of course, he alone would not catch the attention of the inspector. A girl in high school uniform is with the commissioner, and they are so boldly locking arms in public! Not able to get a proper angle to record this moment (for "insurance" of course), Takahashi slowly tailed the couple on his car, careful not to be discovered.

Of course, there is another oddity in the mix. Two other girls, now in middle-school uniform, are also tailing the couple. They're not very subtle about it as the people around them are very much aware of their actions. When Commissioner Munakata arrives at what seems to be his car and drove off with the girl in tow, their stalkers are very much frustrated, probably due to lacking any mode of transportation to give chase.

Takahashi then...

Within the frustrated duo, one of them frantically looked out for a cab to catch while the other's busy fiddling with her phone.

"Tough luck kiddo. From here on out, this is where the professionals work!"

Takahashi's car sped through the night, tailing Commissioner Munakata and the mysterious girl. Whatever dirt he can dig out of him tonight will prove useful in smoothing out anything he attempts to do within the bounds of law next time, and by god this has been the problem for years with him and especially his close friend Sakurai. For a moment he wondered if all the lives ruined because he closed his eyes are worth it, and if he should've just followed the same path as Sakurai. No. For every one life he failed to protect he had save another 10. It is a necessary evil for the greater good.

Commissioner Munakata's car was parked near a boutique, his young companion seems like she'd just launch herself into the store. At least the relationship is not one sided. Like a fool, Munakata was stringed along like a puppy by the admittedly beautiful high school girl into the boutique. Takahashi knew Munakata as quite the snark and narcissistic person, so him being subordinate to a woman younger than him seems..... odd.

Looks like the inspector needs to go on foot now if he wants more evidence. He then....

Figuring that a lone man entering a boutique of all places would've been suspicious, Takahashi settled for taking photos through the store's window.

When the duo entered the boutique, you can see from the outside that a worker is stopping them. Maybe it is because it's already closing time as its already nearing midnight. The girl isn't backing out of this however, and Munakata was visibly coerced into helping her have her way. A man that looks like a manager came out from deeper within the boutique to see what's going on. Shockingly, the girl simply walked to the manager and opened her mouth. She is not speaking but more of... exhaling air? Whatever that is that she just did, the manager's attitude made a complete 180 degrees turn. He barked the workers to accommodate the high school girl and suitably she took her time to pick a expensive looking dress.

Though the workers are not looking too happy about this, they could not go againts the words of their boss and reluctantly took an unpaid overtime. When she's finally satisfied, the girl and Munakata took to the counter for payment. The commissioner's eyes widen upon seeing the price of the items his companion had bought. The girl did not flinch at Munakata's panic upon seeing the numbers, but instead puts her finger into Munakata's mouth. The commissioner responded with.... suckling the finger?! What the hell? She pulls out her finger from Munakata's lips, cleaning it with a wet tissue. The old man in turn is on some kind of trance, surrendering his credit card without any protest.

The picture's not as good as he wants it to be, but clear enough to discredit any denial of forgery. Takahashi stood close by the boutique as Munakata and the mysterious girl walked out of the store, eavesdropping. He heard bits and pieces involving spending the night at a well-known 5 star hotel, and there is only one such place nearby. The inspector rushed to his car to get to the place first before them.

As he entered the car and closing the driver's door, a hand blocks it. Looking at who's doing it, Takahashi saw a hooded man. The only thing that can be described of his face is young, but with little trace of youth left. He looks lanky, but is able to hold the door open despite Takahashi trying his best to close it.

"Listen, I need your help man. You're tailing that girl and the old man right? The girl is not normal, and I need your help to stop her!"

"Who the hell are you? I'm a cop! I'll arrest you're insisting on wasting my time!"

"No! I can help you! That girl.. she's a mahou shoujo! You know what those are right? Please! Let me follow you!"

>No! This is your final warning!

>Fine. Get inside quick!

>Write in

>Write in: "You think I don't know that? Stopping her isn't enough, that's just treating a symptom by taking painkillers, not actually fixing anything. If you come with me, you keep your mouth shut and don't do anything stupid."
If he does something stupid, kill him with an electric drill to his head.

Get in, keep your hands visible, and no funny business

>>2994324
Was there a rash of suicides or missing persons lately?That's gonna determine the threat level we think our boss is in.
>That seemed pretty obvious when she put that mind wammy on the manager. What exactly are you supposed to be able to do? For all I know you're in on it with her and decided to drag me in to keep me quiet.
>If we have any other discreet contacts in SWEAR we let em know what just happened at the shop and that some unknown person is corroborating your suspicion that she was a Mahou Shojou.. We might have lost the chance to get dirt on the guy but if it turns out we're wrong it's going to be quite the scandal for that tubby bastard.

>Look, I have got an friend who works at SWEAR. Phone him while I tail them and tell him to phone me back. This is our best chance at capturing her without any casualties, you hear me?

>inb4 he's her familiar

I hope this chief doesn't know the classified location of the facility or have access to the personell files. I smell the BBC (Black Bitch Coven) setting up spies in our unit from a mile away.

>>2994479
Why would a police chief have that info? SWEAR is a completely different organization. It would be like an American policeman having FBI personnel files.

>>2994479
I'm pretty sure that someone with that kind of information would be under 24/7 surveillance and would have sanctioned hookers or whatever else they would want.

>>2994493
I figured the facility was under a different department than SWEAR. Ice queen acts like she outranks SWEAR itself. SWEAR having access to their location also seems like a bad idea since we're chock full of people that get motivation for revenge in the name of our fallen brothers every other day.
Depending on how much of a bigshot this chief is (At least big enough that a public scandal about him and JK girls wouldn't result in everyone going "Who?") he or his drinking buddies might have enough hands dipped into that secret pie.
>>2994507
A better point. Mind control Mahou not freaking Takahashi out says that this isn't something unknown so of course they would have countermeasures for whatever people know.

"You think I don't know that? Stopping her isn't enough, that's just treating a symptom by taking painkillers, not actually fixing anything. If you come with me, you keep your mouth shut and don't do anything stupid."

The young man nods, opening the passenger seat's door as Takahashi unlocks it. Wasting no time after that, Takahashi's car sped through the night taking the fastest route to the hotel as possible. After a few minutes of silence, the hooded man spoke up.

"Natsumi."

"What?"

"My name is Natsumi."

Takahashi pauses for a while before responding.

"Shun Takahashi. Inspector in the XX Metropolitan Police Department. How did you know she's a mahou shoujo? Why didn't you report her to SWEAR or something?"

"Her powers... you've seen it haven't you? It's not something you would notice without close observation. I don't know if I should tell this to you Inspector but I'm not exactly on good terms with the law either."

"That's all the more reason for me not to trust you. For all I know, you might be in on this alongside her."

"N-no! I would never-"

"Hah! Chill, kiddo. I would've arrested you on the spot if I'd knew you will try something funny on me. Truth be told, you being here might prove useful for my investigation. Just follow my lead alright?"

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

They arrived at the hotel approximately 5 minutes earlier than the commissioner and the mahou shoujo. Takahashi knew he would not be able to tail close, so he trusted Natsumi to follow them. The young man was given a walky talky to communicate with.

"Mr. Takahashi. It seems they are going to their hotel room now. I caught the number of their room. It is room 203 and they seems to be heading to floor 6. I'm in the lobby currently and I'll take the next ele-"

Communication was cut off suddenly from the other side. Was he attacked or something? Takahashi reopened his item compartment and rummaged through the sea of cigarette butts. He pulled out a pistol and hid it inside his jacket. Stepping inside the lobby of the hotel, he must decide what's his next move is.

>HEY-OH!

"Shit, shit, shit!"

The inspector's eyes wildly scans the lobby. This is Natsumi's last location before communication was cut. Forget about digging the commissioner's dirt, he wouldn't even be able to sleep if something happened to the kid. Sprinting from corner to corner, Takahashi fails to find any trace of Natsumi. Then, his eyes caught the boy's figure, limping out of a hallway leading to the hotel's bathroom. He immediately goes for Natsumi, noticing splotches of crimson on Natsumi's hoodie.

"Damn it! You're bleeding! How bad is it?"

"N-No! Just a sprain at worst. The hotel staffs, they attacked me out of nowhere. Pulled me to the toilet and started roughing me up. I.... retaliated."

"Does that mean the girl knew we're tailing her?"

"I don't know. Didn't have time to interrogate them."

Stopping for a while to think of his next move, Takahashi decided to pursue the mahou shoujo anyway. Not like they have enough proof to call SWEAR on her. Plus, she'll definitely run on the first sign of things going awry.

-------------------------------------------------------

Ding!

The duo is now on floor 6. The room they're looking for is just across the hallway. They need to approach it silently from here on out so he'll have to relay his tactics to Natsumi now; What kind of approach will the inspector use?

>Pretend to be room service
>Sneak to the door and bust it open together
>Write in

>>2998590
>>Pretend to be room service

>>2998590
>pretend to be room service
>keep an even closer eye on Natsumi. Out of our sight and a loss of communication for several minutes, only to come back covered in blood while we're going after a mind control mahou? This dude has definitely been compromised if he wasn't already.

>>2998590
What are we trying to do here anyway? Confront the mahou shoujo and the commissioner?

>>2998664
Yeah. This seems a bit above our abilities to deal with and now we've gotten a temporary partner that's mostly a liability since he hasn't told us anything about what we're dealing with, is covered in blood, possibly compromised, is known by the target, and has a weird smell.Our boss is also probably going to recognize us.

Clearly we need to just slap a bug in the room somehow and stay away as far from killing range as possible. The problem is that neither of us getting to within mind control range is a good idea.
Maybe bug a vase or something similar then trick the staff into bringing it into the room?

>>2998590
>Write in: Sneak to the room next to our target, and pick the lock on it. Once inside, put our phone to the wall between us and the target, and see if the phone can record whatever is going on in the suite. We can also use a cup against the wall to amplify the sounds.

Yeah, it's low-tech, but we have to improvise when we're on the move like this.
