What effect do I want?
Is this the glittering, golden effect I wanted?!
"How did Kikyo relay this?" His voice began to tremble.
“Miss Kikyo said the ship must be extraordinary, eye-catching, and made with the best materials,” Wilbur said honestly.
"I..."
Kuro almost choked.
Why would Kikyo deliver a message?!
Um?
I didn't give it to Lida...
"Lida!"
Kuro glared at Lida, "What exactly did you send?!"
"I already sent it..."
Lida took a step back, startled by Kuro's gaze, and looked pitiful. "I did pass it on, Kuro."
impossible!
Kikyo can misunderstand men, but can she also misunderstand women?!
"Kikyo! What did you say back then?!" Kuro almost roared at Kikyo.
