What? Anon, man, y'cannat go into battle against an army of undead without a magic sword... Here, take mine, you'll never have to sharpen another blade or my name's not Elizabeth Rose Bloodflame!
It's not enough just to have a magic shield, you know, no matter what that soft, thickie Takanashi says!
Good lad! Why, I'd sooner go into battle holding a tea tray than carry that weedy girl's shield of hers!
