It was quite unfortunate for Suwako that her patrol route that day was on the opposite direction to where the garage was, or else she would've felt the surge of energy coming from Alicia's fight. She was only notified of the current situation when she received a text in her phone saying that all Beacon magical girls were to aid Alicia immediately, as she was engaged in combat with a duo of monster boy and girl. She wondered if Alicia asked for backup herself or was it the higher-ups' decision? In any case, she sure as well couldn't just ignore it. And so, she quickly turned around, jumping from rooftop to rooftop, aided by the occasional trees as she headed to the location as quickly as possible. She didn't really care if the civilians might see her. This was an emergency after all.

When she arrived near the marked location however, she didn't rush to the building right away. Instead, she went to the nearest tree and used her magic to grow its roots to surround the area. This was another application of her magic, spy roots. With her ability to grow plants and talk to them, she could combine the two to create a highly stealthy and unnoticeable network of spies all around the area. No one would ever look suspiciously to a couple of roots growing out of the ground after all.

Once the roots were spread, she began to communicate with said tree. She immediately knew how many combatants there were on the scene. The tree couldn't really see, but it could sense the energy coming from them. And the distinctive dark energy of the monster transformation, making her able to pick up where their location were. So she knew that there were three normal magical girls and two monster girls. Obviously, her target would be the monster ones.

And they were already in the middle of battle, so she was late to the party.

Might as well use this opportunity for a sneak attack.

She decided on the more stationary target since the other one seemed to be a melee fighter, the way she clashed with a magical girl at close range.

With the tip of the root that was there near her, she grew it to be gigantic in an instant. It lashed out right towards the monster girl from behind. She intended to use it to grab her and drag her underground, or at least immobilize her. Stationary types were usually snipers so she shouldn't have enough strength to break up from her plant once it caught her.
