"Why?"
Faced with Angel's curious question, Gleipnir sighed and explained, "I don't know the exact circumstances. Zuniga didn't tell me the reason. However, when I went to Prada Media Company to look for Star Worm earlier, I met with him privately."
"According to Star Worm, that 'Time Radio' trapped inside the photo wall seemed to hold great significance for Kaushike."
"Kaushike didn't believe Star Worm hadn't obtained the 'Time Radio.'"

"If Kaushike doesn't believe him..." Angel said, "couldn't Star Worm just show him the magic book?"
Although the "Fashion Magic Book" was something highly personal, magicians generally would not show it to others, whether for privacy or to conceal their reserves.
