Then a door is closed, and it’s the door of a car, and that car is a red Porsche. Red dress, naked shoulders, twin drills flowing over her chest, light purple hair, ringlets flowing all over her back- and the face of a cat about to unleash itself on a stray plastic bag. What comes out of that car, both Erika and Jimena know, is Hyakumantenbara Salome- the Faction Leader of the West. Who seems dressed extremely fancy- until Erika zooms in on the details.
◄ <span class="mu-s">Salome</span>: <span class="mu-i">Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho !</span>
And she does so in her usual fashion: with carefully practiced elegant steps. Watching her kill the distance so confidently, Jimena and Erika feel a) way out of their league and b) in deep shit.
◄ <span class="mu-s">Salome</span>: <span class="mu-i">Oh My! We are having some technical difficulties desuwaaa!</span>
■-■ <span class="mu-s">Erika</span>: <span class="mu-i">(What the fuck is talking about?)</span>
ᕙ <span class="mu-s">Jimena</span>: <span class="mu-i">(Us.)</span>
When their Faction Leader gets closer than any of the other west-siders, the rest finally close in, and now the true size of the crowd is showing its face. About fifteen, sixteen, seventeen Magical Girls… an impossible number in most any other situation.
ᕙ <span class="mu-s">Jimena</span>: <span class="mu-i">Look. That car isn’t yours. Right?</span>
Some of the girls of the West burst out laughing. Some remain steady and nervous.
◄ <span class="mu-s">Enna</span>: <span class="mu-i">Bitch took a train to my house because she didn’t have hot water for her instant ramen. She’s poor!!</span>
◄ <span class="mu-s">Salome</span>: <span class="mu-i">Ho Ho Ho ! What matters is that I sat on it desuwaaaa! So now it's worth a million times more desuwa!</span>
◄ <span class="mu-s">Elira</span>: <span class="mu-i">Lady Salome! Sit on my gaming PC!</span>
◄ <span class="mu-s">Millie</span>: <span class="mu-i">Zero a million times is still zero though.</span>
◄ <span class="mu-s">Salome</span>: <span class="mu-i">Now-</span>
The Faction Leader doesn’t seem serious, or threatening, or intimidating. Those aren’t the words Erika can pin on her attitude. But when Faction Leader Salome asks
◄ <span class="mu-s">Salome</span>: <span class="mu-i">What’s happening?</span>
Erika feels like it would be illegal to not answer. Even school Hitler can tell: it’s just sheer, pure curiosity without ill intent, untarnished like that of a child’s.
◄ <span class="mu-s">Pomu</span>: <span class="mu-i">Faction Leader, were you paying attention like at all? HAHAHA</span>
