[Kyubey went out of the room Momoe Naoko was in, and started to think.]
[He was still thinking when Nagisa and Mami came back.]
...We couldn't find any Witches, or Familiars either, for that matter...
[Nagisa grumped, and then her face lighted up when she caught sight of Kyubey under the sofa.]
- Kyubey! Did you see Mama? How did the Contract go?
[Kyubey came out from under the sofa then, and looked up at her.]
...I am sorry, Nagisa, but your mother is not a good Puella Magi candidate, I am afraid - I do not think making a Contract with her is a good idea at all!
[And that wasn't a lie at all, really. ]
- I've made Contracts with people who weren't good matches before, you see, and some of them just died the very next day after they became Magi, just like that!
[That wasn't a lie, either. Of course, it was another matter entirely if Momoe Naoko would turn out like that, if she ever made a Contract with any Incubator, buuut.]
[And so, he looked up at her, and pasted on his "slightly apologetic" expression.]
...You don't want your mother to die even earlier then she might have because she made a Contract, right? That would sort of defeat the purpose entirely, from your point of view, I think...
