It is not always easy for Bonnie to select mercenaries for the hunts she was commissioned for. The only consideration she ever made was how dedicated the magical girls in question would be to the task. Having just one metric to measure did make picking candidates easy. Sometimes too easy. Then there were the cases when she couldn’t find anyone to take on a task. Bonnie preferred to give her hunts to people who couldn’t possibly refuse them, and only for the right reasons. Bonnie had done her research, but she was not so sure she could pick just one or two people for a task like this. 

Bolorton was a good distance away from Penrose, but it was not hard for one of the C.A.P.R.I.C.O.R.N.’s cloud pods to find its mark. Ronin and Miko were shouting at the top of their lungs in the center of a chaotic battlefield. To onlookers, it would appear as though a fog had blown over the sisters, allowing them to vanish. But they had actually been taken inside the C.A.P.R.I.C.O.R.N. via a portal. 

[b]"Here. Look it over and get back to me. The contents are time sensitive."[/b]

After placing scrolls in each of their hands, Bonnie gave the twins a shove and watched them tumble out of the cloud pod. Their situation had not changed, but they had a hunt to pursue now. 

Unbeknownst to them, however, the cloud pod had also flown up to one of Mariette’s portals that she had been using to spy on the battlefield. Bonnie leaned out of the cloud pod and examined it. She said nothing, and held the scroll out in front of the portal. 

[b]"For your perusal, portal witch."[/b]

Bonnie was aware that shoving the scroll through the portal would just poke Mariette in the eye, provided she didn’t banish it entirely. So instead she dropped the scroll, expecting Mariette to catch it with one of her portals. If she didn’t, that was fine. There were far too many who qualified for this hunt as it were.

Sakura had gotten herself good and painted, and even got some of Sanctuary painted too.  They likely wouldn’t appreciate her, but it was like the big booba maido said, she needed to be patient and good things would come her way.

And it seemed that something very good came her way.

Some weird fox lady in oddly shaped armor and a HUGE gun had just stopped by and gave her a hunt. Moreover, it looked like the kind of hunt that was both very dangerous and would net her mad respect. She grinned to herself when she pictured all the magical girls fawning over her after she put her might on display. 

This was just the quest for Ronin and her. She’d turn her little student into a fully fledged samurai yet!

To the North: Vestiges of the Family
Two magical girls went exploring the ruins of Dilla when they discovered the ancient remains of Su Daji. Su Daji has split her essence into a kitsune behemoth and a magical girl, both of which are quite powerful. She has the magical girls cornered in a dilapidated inn and refuses to let anyone get close. Rescue the trapped magical girls and drive off or slay Su Daji. 

(It seems that some details and several names have been struck out of the Hunt. Did Bonnie do this herself?)

Challenge Rating: S
Notes: This hunt is easier than other northern hunts if your magical girl team has good coordination. Unfortunately, Sakura will be joining you, so it’s going to be at least SS rank. This hunt can only be undertaken by a party that contains Ronin, Miko, or Mariette.

PS: Sakura is such a detriment to this hunt that she does not count towards the number of hunting magical girls.
