As Salomea peered through the tiny slit of the opening in the manhole cover, she witnesses the familiar devouring a victim and transforming, releasing a powerful gust that startled Salomea and caused her to lose her grip on the rungs, falling down hard into the sewer.  She had heard someone issue a warning right before she lost her grip, allowing Salomea to make the landing a little less harsh.  She didn't understand what was going on while the space around her began to warp.  She thought it was a witch, but after what she had just witnessed she had to assume that it was a familiar that had just become a witch.  Some other magical girls had told her a little about familiars, and she had heard Kyubey's voice just now indicating the same.  The thought of all those people at the parade being attacked by the witch was sobering, her family was just across the street from this monster.  Salomea rushed back up the manhole, pushing the cover off forcefully with magic-enhanced strength, though in the labyrinth, the manhole cover had taken the form a giant, circular eraser.

Looking around she sees two girls further in front: one who looked like a nurse, and another with cannons, who were heading in the direction of the witch.  Behind her was a girl with chain-scythes who was injured.  Salomea decided to make protecting the injured girl her priority and started summoning several copies of her weapon and ramming them headfirst into the strange ground of the labyrinth, creating a circle between Megumi and the most likely path the witch would take if it tried to attack the injured girl.  "S-stay outside of the fence," Salomea ordered without confidence, while she herself stood in the middle of the circle and brandished her club defensively in the direction of the witch and the two girls.  She hoped those two would be able to defeat the witch and keep it at bay, but if not, she would stand between it and Megumi.  The rods that she had planted in the ground began to emit a low hum.
