"Lolis are the cutest things in the world. But there's something even cuter than a loli. Do you know what it is?"
"..." Shadow Betley fell silent, as if seeing the person before him for the first time.
"A loli who reaches beneath a beautiful petal-like skirt and pulls out something dark and thick: a particle compression cannon!"
At last, Shadow Belite couldn't hold back and spoke up. "I heard you recently adopted a demon from the demon realm."
"Yeah. Haven't you heard your disciple Kelly say, 'Wouldn't it be awesome if you could imbue a machine gun with magic?' Isn't a loli with a lollipop in her mouth, sunglasses on, and a machine gun in her arms going rat-a-tat-tat cool?"
Shadow Belite knew what his disciple had actually said. He raised his head with a trace of pity. "Have you ever heard this saying?"
"Huh?"
"Women from the Celestial Realm are all tigresses. That's what Pella Vane, one of the Seven Divine Sheaths, said."
"Uh, so... is it too late for me to run?"
"You tell me."
