Well, her knowing is unavoidable regardless.

>"Wow, this is your apartment? We just moved in a couple doors down!"

>Mami blinks.
>"Really?"

>"Yup." Sanae nods, "Just moved in a couple of hours ago in fact."

>"I can confirm this." Kyubey adds, "I witnessed them leave their apartment prior to their encounter with the familiar. "

>"Huh. Well allow me to say welcome, then." Mami smiles, Small world... "Anyway, let's head inside. Would you two like some tea?"

>"I find the both of you quite intriguing and unusual, it's only natural that I observe in order to determine why that is." says Kyubey

>"Well then, the two of you can have a seat in the back room while I make some." says Mami as she opens the door. It's cosier back there...

>You enter a rather well-furnished and decorated dwelling that gives off a warm feeling. In front of you is a table with three chairs, and beyond that is another room with what appear to be large windows. It seems significantly larger than your apartment.

>"Go straight back and to the left." she says.
>You notice Kyubey is already heading there.

>"Yeah." Sanae nods in agreement as the two of you make your way to the back.
>You end up in a room with large windows, near the corner is a small couch. In front of that is a low, triangular, glass table sitting on a rug. There is space to sit around it.
>Kyubey hops onto the table and just sits there, tail swishing back and forth.

>"So Kyubey, you said we have.... potential to become magical girls?"

>"She does, yes." Kyubey indicates Sanae, "However, I currently rank her potential to become a magical girl lower than most potential candidates on account of how unusual her magic potential is. In your case, I'm honestly unsure about your status as a candidate... While you both have irregular magic potentials, hers is closer to what would be considered normal than yours. Yours, on the other hand, is one of the most unusual I have ever seen: It's rather odd, atypical of any other magic potential I have sensed, in fact, it seems somewhat inhuman..."

Kyubey is gonna be so suspicious of us, and he'll most likely find out sooner or later, but we're probably best off delaying that.

>Mami nods, "I made a contract with Kyubey in exchange for having a wish granted, and now it's my duty to fight Witches."

>"Witches?" Sanae asks, "But didn't you say whatever that... thing... was was called a 'Familiar' "

>"Yes, it was. Familiars are minions created by witches to defend their barriers or perform certain tasks. What attacked you today was a rogue familiar acting without its master. It probably would've eventually grown into a witch itself if it was left alone too long." Hopefully it only recently broke away from its parent witch and hadn't had any time to eat humans yet...

>"So witches are even worse than that thing was?"

>"Much worse. Witches spread the seeds of disaster across the world. Unexplained disappearances, suicides and murders are often the result of a witch." Mami sips her tea. "Not to mention that they are the source of familiars like the one that attacked you today. Which, if they break away from their masters, can become problems in their own right."

>Mami laughs a bit. "Well, if you put it that way, then yes." she takes on a more serious tone, "But please understand that unlike a superhero, I'm not invincible. Being a Magical Girl is a dangerous experience, I risk my life every time I fight a witch or familiar. "

>"If it's so dangerous, then why do you do it?" Sanae asks, "Did you know that you'd be risking your life so much when you made that contract thing?" The answer is probably "No", but it doesn't hurt to ask, right?

>Mami frowns, "No. I did not. Though, I'm not sure most of the girls Kyubey contracts know the full extent of the dangers of fighting witches at first either." Of course, in my case, I didn't really have a chance to learn about the risks before I contracted at all... "With that in mind, I do make it a point to tell any candidates Kyubey finds about the risks, if I can, so that they can consider those facts if and when they decide to form the contract."

>"It's simple" Kyubey speaks up, "When you form a contract with me, you make a wish, and I will grant it." he tilts his head "Normally I wouldn't approach someone as unusual as the two of you with an offer like this so quickly, but if you wanted, one of you could make a contract with me to witness a wish being granted first-hand."

>"Err... No thanks." says Sanae, "I mean, I honestly wouldn't make a decision like that just for the sake of seeing how wish granting works. I would rather save a wish for when I actually need a miracle to happen." In which case, I would actually USE a miracle...

>"Understandable." Kyubey looks at you, "And you?"

>"It's a rare opportunity, yes. So you shouldn't take it for granted." Mami looks you in the eyes, "Remember that you only get one wish if you decide to contract with Kyubey, and that there are no do-overs."

>"What if you wished for more wishes?" Sanae asks, I wonder what would happen...

>"A wish like that would not be possible under normal circumstances." says Kyubey "Believe it or not, there are upper limits to what kinds of wishes can be granted. However, these limits could theoretically be overcome if somebody had enough potential."

>"I am a Messenger of Magic." he answers.

>"So, Mami, I've been meaning to ask" says Sanae, "What did Kyubey mean earlier when he said we were pulled into that familiar's 'Barrier'? Aren't barriers supposed to be, I don't know, more wall-like? All we saw was this weird place."

>"That strange place was, in fact, a barrier." Mami replies, "Witches and their familiars conceal themselves inside magical labyrinths: Their barriers. It's how they hide from people. The one you were in was pretty small, considering it was a familiar that was sustaining it. One made by an actual witch would've been much larger and easy to get lost in." she finishes her tea, "Speaking of getting lost, people who stumble into a barrier rarely come out alive, as the only way to leave is to either kill the witch or familiar that it belongs to, or wait until it moves to a new location."
