The red-black magical girl's eye twitched at the accusation of caring for her enemy, but otherwise, she remained quiet and lent the aquatic girl an ear. So, she was the one who'd told the other Club girls about giga miseria during her absence, while she had learned of their existence on her own. Incidentally, Evil Eye was also the only Club member who'd gained an entirely new ability since joining it—after taking part in the felling of a giga miseria herself, outside of Hibusa town. It was enough of a coincidence that she couldn't just brush off Sink Queen's newest lesson as yet more poisoned words meant to divide them against each other. [color=firebrick][b]"Interesting. Well, enjoy your babysitting."[/b][/color] Neither her face nor the tone of her voice gave away anything.

She turned around to face the approaching Rei just in time to catch sight of a couple of paramedics lifting Haruna into an ambulance. Just before they could shut the doors, she plucked a tear from her eye and threw it into the ambulance after them. [color=firebrick][b]"Right,"[/b][/color] she replied dryly. [color=firebrick][b]"If Ashbringer's still adopting new members, even I might have to start taking my training seriously."[/b][/color] She made no attempt to sound fired up about it at all. It was as if she wasn't even taking her own words seriously. Her mind was entirely elsewhere, calculating a completely different equation from the one being presented. [color=firebrick][b]"Text me when you have a new meeting place picked out. Just don't make it a corporate office. If you give me a fucking cubicle, I quit."[/b][/color] With that, she picked a random direction and flew away.

She did her best thinking alone, after all.
