Warning

"Now, tell me then. Who are you?" My heart skipped a beat, I realized all of a sudden that I didn't even know my own name.

Thinking back though, I did see a name on my sister's note. On her student ID that I accidentally took a peek of, it seems that her name was Yamada Inoue.

Then the name found in her notes Eita would be mine, Yamada Eita. That was my name, "Yamada Eita. I have no alter ego, but you may call me Muga." I was pleased with myself for coming up with the alter ego as Muga meant self effacement.

"Muga?" It was a perfect name for me, with the character for nothingness and it meaning selflessness, Muga was perfect as my cover!

"Hahaha, how hilarious. To call yourself selfless is a selfish thing to do." Yes, it was hypocritical. But I had no qualms being seen as a hypocrite, so I was definitely keeping the name.

"Well then, A. I have a proposal to make." Calling her by her alternate identity, she knew without a doubt that I had something important to say, I took her silence as an agreement.

"In order to grow stronger enough to defeat the Site, we need help. To do so, we need a vast amount of Sticks to help in our cause. So I am here to implore you that I require your assistance in this aspect." She raised her brows, bewildered by my actions.

She knew what I was referring to, "You want me to steal more Sticks?" For a brief moment I turned silent, but that did not stop me, "Yes, however instead of giving it aimlessly to others, I will tell you who to give them to.

In exchange I will tell you anything you wish to inquire at no price and no limit to what you can ask, but it must be something concerning the Site.

You can ask any other questions, I'll just probably be lazy about answering them." I told her of my plan and how I was going to do it, but it was easier said than done.

Stealing Sticks not only meant losing a valuable Magical Girl, it also meant having to risk themselves on the frontlines and making sure not to attract the Admin's attention.

I emphasised that fact as it was what ended unpleasantly for her in the past.

Although she lived and worked together with the policeman, her lifespan was shaved off quite a bit, which was a waste as lifespan was a valuable and scarce thing.

Of course, until 'she' came. For now, lifespan was to be used sparingly. "But, for now you must wait until the destined two awakens."

Anjou was confused, "The destined two?" In the manga she discovered the two girls' secret all by herself by stalking them.

But now I was going to tell her myself, "Nagatsuki Hyoka and Tsurara Takahashi." Anjou smirked, she definitely knew of them. After all, they were in the same class.

"In approximately two days time they will discover the existence of Magical Girls and kill a man. Tsurara is the unfortunate of the two, but Hyoka is a future Site Admin. But be careful, for there is a dangerous woman in your school by the name Reiko Maguchi. Like you, she stole a Stick with the power to generate and control ice." I rambled on and warned her of what to watch out for.

"If you can, steal Reiko's Stick and kill her. And of course save Tsurara from her fate, but of course we must have the future Admin to help us, so we shall grant Nagatsuki Hyoka her 'own' Stick." There were many things I must do, and a lot of the things I had to do relied solely on Anjou Isoko and her alter ego.

"Kukuku, no problem. But, what about you? What are you going to do?" Anjou inquired whilst laughing, she seemed to be having fun.

"I am going to prepare to do an experiment, so to say." I knew so far, that there were 18 Admins, each one presiding over certain wards.

There was an empty seat in the council, fit for Nana. But I wondered what would happen if a Magical Girl both exhausted their lifespan at the same time whilst holding each other's hands.

Would only one of them become an Admin? Would they both become an Admin? What happens if a living person held on to them whilst they disappeared?

But, all this was in due time. First, I had to steal another Stick. "Take me back to the school." I faced Anjou and glared down at her.

She relented easily and used her Stick to take me back. Jumping in, I felt the minor changes in environment.

Back at the abandoned apartment, it was quite chilly. But here, it was very warm all throughout. I looked behind me and saw that Isoko jumped in as well.

Presumably to watch over me, "What are you doing?" She asked curiously, "I am going to see if there are any more Sticks in here." I replied nonchalantly whilst opening all the lockers one by one.

Luckily they had no locks, otherwise it was going to be troublesome. In the manga they never specified if the Admins only gave out one Stick per day, but that was unlikely as it was very inefficient.

The only other possible reason why only one Stick could be seen per night, was because they were busy in having to distribute it to many people each night.

So they could only do one per school, "Ah, I see." Isoko shut up and dawdled around on the sidelines.

One by one all the lockers were inspected, but no more could be seen. Of course there were many more aisles, but it wasn't worth the risk. I had to go now.

"Anjou, remember. You must be wary of Reiko Maguchi. If you ever encounter her, do not hesitate to kill the old hag." I warned her for the final time before running out of the school, with a trowel in my cloak pocket.

....

"Juuroku. Did you encounter anything on your way out?" Ichi held his hands close, almost clenching them.

He felt disturbed and quite frankly, afraid of the existence in Minato. It was something he had never felt before.

"No. There was nothing on my side. Did something happen while I was away?" Juuroku expressed her confusion, she felt that her boss had gone delusional.

"Never mind that, we must focus on our goal for now. But first, take a look at this." Ichi waved his hands and a screen popped up before him.

It showed detailed information on a girl named Tsurara Takahashi. "This is an unfortunate girl, and is in your district. I'm counting on you."

He dismissed Juuroku and the others for now.

....

Back in my room, I was trying to figure out how to get the USB port out. Evidently, it was under the left wing.

I hastily connected it to my laptop, typed in the keywords, and voila. "How misfortunate~ How misfortunate~."

Found you, Juuroku. I kept pressing certain places, until I found it. "Ah~ my mouth." The scene changed, sperm-like creatures rushing towards a mountain-like construction.

A countdown til death had its numbers going down fast. "Tempest." Finally confirming the time until next year August, I was relieved.

"It's only a few more months to go. A few more months, and it'll all be over."
