"Well, what did he steal that was so important that you won't shoot at him with your defensive guns?" True, the machine man flew not that rapidly, as if he knew that Kyo-Edo won't harm him.
"Ah, yes - it was a seed of our one and only Kamizakura tree. Very potent in mahou workings. Are you going to retrieve it?"
"Hopefully so. One more question - could the Singularity Cult be behind this heist?" You have a hunch as soon you heard it was a relic he stole.
