[And in the meanwhile, somewhere along the road to the village...]
[Sayaka almost yelped as the dark vibes hit her.]
...Oh, cripes!
[She said, and then, she turned toward Kyosuke, biting her lip.]
...I...I...
[Of all the horrible timing! At long last, she really was walking and talking and doing stuff with Kyosuke, just the two of them, and it was Kyosuke who'd even asked her to do that, and - and - ! -]
[And then, she bit her lip as she remembered that there were a ton of Magical Girls right near by, now. Kyoko and Mami should have no problem whatsover handling the Witch on their own, even if any of the locals didn't get there on time...]
[And then, she bit her lip again. What if they didn't, though? Witches were dangerous as all frack at the best of times, and - What if they got hurt or something? Even the best Magical Girls could end up dead, if they were unlucky...]
[And then, yet another thought hit her, and Sayaka felt her blood run cold. What if it was one of her friends who were now being attacked by the Witch? What if it was Madoka?]
[And so, she took a deep breath.]
...Kyo - Kyosuke?
[Kyosuke looked at her, then, and gave her an oddly sad smile.]
...Yes, Sayaka?
[Sayaka looked at him, then, and made herself smile, and point a finger at him.]
......I'll come back in about 15 minutes, I think, or 30 minutes at the most, and - and so, I want you to wait right here, so we can go to the village like we planned and see the festival and everything, OK? Just wait here, and we'll - we'll be fine, and go see the sights, and have fun, and everything. So there!
[And then, she waved at them, and started to run up the path, back the way they'd came.]
[Kyosuke watched Sayaka run off, and sighed a bit.]
...If you don't want people to notice something strange is going on, you shouldn't go around running so fast a car couldn't keep up with you, Sayaka...
[He said softly, and then, he closed his eyes, and raised his finger, pointing up the hill.]
- So - Whatever that is going on is going on - Right in that direction. Right, critters?
[Eight and Seven looked up at him from under a nearby bush, then.]
...You're actually quite right, as a matter of fact. Congradulations - It appears you are now capable of detecting Witch energies, as long as they're strong enough, ho ho ho -
[Eight said. Seven nodded at that, and then, hopped up at him.]
- But what are you going to do now, Kamijo Kyosuke?
