“M-My grandpappy isn’t frightening!” Ruby gets nervous about her evil grandpa. If he’s anything like her father, well…
“I’m sorry, Ruby, but he’s certified evil in our eyes.” Nariko feels like he’s not different from her mom. “Either way, if my explanation fails to capture the nature of this witchcraft. What is the reason?”
“Oh! He brings out people that you have an emotional attachment with!” Debbie explains. “Members from the Temple of Beauty use an object to manifest their powers. Like some people fly around with their brooms! Woosh~!”
“You know how the Mannequin works? Why didn’t you say anything?!” Yu Yan feels scammed.
“I-I couldn’t find a good moment to explain…” Debbie is too awkward to infodump at appropriate times unless prompted to.
“S-S-So V-Vortexia’s story really m-moved J-Johnny too…” Ajna doesn’t believe the cute factor was the only thing at play here. She felt for the Clutz as much as you did!
“She’s an undeveloped antagonist, she doesn’t have a backstory.” Nariko doesn’t believe this to be true.
“Nariko, she’s a real person.” Ruby is bothered by Nariko’s callousness.
“I’m trying to diminish my future rival as practice, please don’t take it that seriously.” Nariko explains that her contempt comes from a good place. Allegedly.
Yu Yan had Nina, Nariko had Chio, Ajna had evil Ajna, Ruby had her grandfather, and Debbie…
“What was yours, Debbie?” You wonder.
“Nobody! He already did that to me the first time we met!” Debbie smiles.
“W-Why didn’t you tell us before getting in there?” Nariko is surprised by Debbie’s lack of tact. “We have to prepare little Cocoon Ajna for all circumstances.”
“I-I-It wasn’t t-t-that bad.” Ajna doesn’t want anyone to feel responsible for her uneasiness. “T-Thank you though.” She feels appreciative.
“I’m sorry… I couldn’t find the appropriate moment to warn you…” Debbie is really damn awkward.
“Oi, don’t use the same excuse every time, amiga. That’s fatty behavior.” Yu Yan wants Debbie to be better.
“<span class="mu-s">I’M SORRY!</span>” Debbie didn’t want people to think less of her.
“Let’s move on. There’s an amiga here that needs to fulfill her promise.” You wanna listen to the gossip.
“Yes! Tell us at once, Yu Yan! What are these embarrassing and hilarious secrets from the people I respect and love… and Susie?” Nariko is ready!
“I’m glad you asked!” Yu Yan rubs her hands. “So, everyone knows Susie is a big pervert, right?”
“I had absolutely no idea, <span class="mu-i">woah~</span>!” Debbie’s eyes are open.
