Character Story 1: Magical Girl, Sealed!

---

When an incident arises within the peaceful town of Landsol, just recite the magic words and a hero of justice shall appear—

Kasumi
Misty, Theory, Truly! Magical Ribbon, Spiral!

Misty Kasumi
Magical Detective Misty★Kasumi! With the power of magic, the investigation begins!

Thief
Huh!? The hell are you!?

Misty Kasumi
Hmph. As the same suggests, just a plain old magical detective. You're out of luck for causing an incident right in front of me.

Misty Kasumi
Now just behave and get caught up in my rope!

Thief
Ch, tryna make fun of me with that getup! The heck's a magical detective! Outta the way...!

Misty Kasumi
My my, you sure don't know when to give up. I'll make you regret your foul deeds...!

Misty Kasumi
Solving any mystery in one shot! Seizing culprits with the power of love☆ — Misty Wrapping!

Thief
Gue—!?

Misty Kasumi
Do you see now? There's no escaping this magical detective.

Misty Kasumi
Criminal captured, with this the case is closed☆

Thief
Damn, you... By someone in that humiliating getup...

Misty Kasumi
...could you please not bring up my appearance? I've gotten a bit used to it, but it's still pretty embarrassing for me too.

Thief
In the first place, what's with this “magical detective”!? There's nothing even detective-ey about you!

Misty Kasumi
...Eh?

Misty Kasumi
...Assistant-kun. I'd really like a straight answer...

Misty Kasumi
Could it be that... right now there's nothing detective-like about me?

Yuuki
1. You're a splendid magical girl.
2. Avert your gaze.

Option 1.

Misty Kasumi
In other words, not a detective...? No, it's fine. I can come to a conclusion based on that response. I, I see...

Option 2.

Misty Kasumi
Not a good liar, are you. It's not good to underestimate my deductive prowess, alright? Just from averting your gaze, I've gotten a clear grasp on your answer.

End of branches.

Misty Kasumi
Not good. This is not good...

Misty Kasumi
It's certainly true that recently, there have been times where I've relied on my magical girl powers a bit too much.

Misty Kasumi
If I catch a criminal while I'm in my magical girl transformation, for some unknown reason they start spilling their guts and confessing. Getting a criminal's defense, I guess you can say that's a good thing.

Misty Kasumi
Not to mention, these physical abilities. I'm normally not great at close combat, however I can call on my Misty Bullet for criminal assailants, and I can restrain fleeing culprits with my Misty Wrapping.

Misty Kasumi
Once incidents have been safely resolved, I respond to the children's cheers with a victory pose. Fanservice is vital, after all.

Misty Kasumi
I see. Thinking it over once again...

Misty Kasumi
—This isn't a detective at all!

Misty Kasumi
In works aimed at children, there's probably detectives like this. But at the very least, that image of someone that resolves incidents with their intellect and logic I've been aiming for, I'm drifting further and further away from it...!

Misty Kasumi
Alright, I've decided!

Misty Kasumi
I'm sealing away my magical girl!

Yuuki
1. Eeeeh...

Misty Kasumi
P, please don't make such a blatantly disappointed face! I say I'm sealing it away, but I have no intention of completely quitting.

Misty Kasumi
It's just, I need to reconnect with my roots, or some such...

Misty Kasumi
And anyway! I've employed you as a detective's assistant, remember? You can't forget that bit!

Misty Kasumi
Now then, Assistant-kun, the incidents are calling! Let's get going!

Kasumi
That being said. Incidents aren't exactly things that will just suddenly fall into our laps.

Kasumi
It's great that it's peaceful. But, detectives must remain vigilant even in their free time.

Kasumi
But still, how should I calm this sense of wavering within me...

Man
Hey you! You sure did a number on me that other time!

Thug
Aah? Whassat?

Man
You sure did a number on me that other time! Even though I just bumped into your shoulder...!

Thug
What's this? It's that guy I pushed around a little that one time.

Kasumi
...huh? A dispute? Getting physical isn't exactly in a detective's calling, but...

Kasumi
I too am a member of Kaon, after all. I can't just let this go.

Thug
Huh. Here for payback? Good job! For coming back straight for another thrashing!

Man
Hu, huhu... you sure about that?

Thug
W, what...?

Kasumi
Hm... Something's off... Assistant-kun, be on your guard!

Man
The power hidden within me, witness it!

Kasumi
There's something wrapped around his finger... a ring?

Thug
W, what!? H, he transformed... into a monster...!?

Kasumi
This was... not a trivial matter after all!

Thug
Hi, hiiiii!?

Yuuki
1. Get between them.

Kasumi
Assistant-kun! Without any reservations, Assistant-kun is amazing...!

Kasumi
That monster, what power...! In our current state we won't be able to stop it...!

Kasumi
Misty, Theory, Truly! Magical Ribbon, Spiral!

Misty Kasumi
Magical Detective Misty★Kasumi! With the power of magic, the investigation begins!

Thug
M, magical detective...? So this is that rumor spreading around town, one of those magical girls...!

Misty Kasumi
Beings that threaten the peace of the town, Magical Detective Misty★Kasumi will not allow it!

Misty Kasumi
Eat this! The bullet off hope that pierces through mysteries—Misty Bullet!

Thug
Ooh, downed in one shot...! Atta girl, Misty★Kasumi!

Man
U, urgh...!

Misty Kasumi
Humu... he's returned to his previous form. What exactly was that all about, just now...?

Thug
This guy, trying to shake me up...!

Misty Kasumi
Halt!

Thug
O, okay!

Misty Kasumi
The cause of this dispute, the fault originally lies with you, doesn't it? As a magical detective, this is not something I can just overlook. Why don't you reflect on your own misdeeds.

Thug
...uu....M, my apologies~~~!

Misty Kasumi
Ah, sure... that much reflection, it surprised even me a bit.

Thug
Being scolded by a magical girl, is no small matter! If I don't have a change of heart now, then when will it ever change!

Thug
My deepest apologies. I'll promise to properly help this man recover! Thank you for protecting me, Magical Detective Misty★Kasumi!

Misty Kasumi
...o, okay. With this, the case is closed... I guess?

Misty Kasumi
That man who transformed into something monstrous, and that ring... well there's still many points I'm concerned about, but...

Yuuki
1. Good for you.

Misty Kasumi
...there's nothing good about it.

Misty Kasumi
Well, the fact that nobody was hurt was good, of course. But at the end, I ended up transforming again! Right in the same breath of when I'd said I wouldn't!^[1]

Misty Kasumi
But that aside, Assistant-kun, you're way too reckless!

Yuuki
1. ...Sorry.

Misty Kasumi
Jeez, people like you are so...

Misty Kasumi
...But, well, anyway. I don't have any regrets about transforming.

Misty Kasumi
If anything, it was to protect you after all.

Misty Kasumi
If I hadn't transformed there, it could have led to you getting hurt. That would be something I would regret.

Misty Kasumi
That's why, umm...

Misty Kasumi
What you did was in the right. But if you could, just a bit, do things without making me worry, I'd be happier.

Misty Kasumi
You're Magical Detective Misty★Kasumi's, dear partner, after all.

There stood a Yuuki who, through being reprimanded, clearly felt Kasumi's worry, and unwavering trust.
