I'm Really Not a Loli-Con: The Apocalypse Comes to School-Live! / The Research Team Adds a God

"Um... Asuka, what happened? Can you tell me?"

Looking at the headset that had been so brutally abused, Leticia felt that Asuka could have gone straight to her master. Given her master's perverted nature, he surely would not let such easy prey slip away.

"Can I? You won't tell Izayoi, will you?"
