Furina's already flushed face swiftly turned scarlet at Navia's jab.
"Th-That's different!"
"How is it different?"
"...The difference between reserves and regulars?"
"Isn't that the same thing?"
Navia continued to poke fun at her.
Wasn't it just a matter of becoming official? Was the difference really that big?
"How could they be the same?! This is proof of identity! Very important proof of identity!"
"Sorry, but I really don't understand this sort of thing."
Navia had no idea whether she truly did not understand or simply could not be bothered to think about it.
"I think I get it..."
At that moment, Clorinde showed her reliable side.
"What Lord Furina means is that with this, we become even more of an 'insider'... right?"
"Right, right, that's exactly what I mean! I didn't say getting one means you have to go in! You can treasure it like a medal."
"..."
What kind of madness was that? Who would collect something like this?
Still, that logic... was indeed rather easy to understand.
"Hey, hey~"
Speaking in an anime-like accent, Sparkle skipped over to the three of them.
She had heard everything the three of them said.
Then... of course she had to satisfy all three of them!
"I was here first"—that was the true essence of an asura arena!
"Are you three big sisters interested in this?"
Sparkle smiled as she waved the thigh rings in her hand.
"Ahem... Miss Sparkle, if you don't mind, could you give one to each of us?"
"Oh my... but Sparkle just heard that you three big sisters wanted to use someone else's power to intimidate people, didn't you?"
Sparkle wore an utterly innocent expression.
Navia's face twitched as she looked at that infuriatingly affected act—since she could not beat Sparkle, she had to endure it.
