[ elysia is impressed. she feels impressed. ]

Isn't a handgun lighter than a grenade launcher?

[ it's fine to want the grenade launcher... but on a scale of heaviness.... ]

[sprayandpray]

Ah... That's true.

But I thought that if a need arose, I would rather have the stronger weapon.

[florescences]

I understand. You must have built up quite the strength to carry it around with you everywhere.

[sprayandpray]

Oh, yes! I would say my strength is my primary... strength.

[florescences]

Oh, how wonderful! I'm sure you must surprise so many.

[ with either her strength or grenade launcher. ]

Advantageous in more than one way.

[sprayandpray]

I'm well known for it, actually. I try to make myself useful by doing the things others can't do, to make up for that I'm not much help in other areas. So it's no secret.

But it certainly comes in handy at the cathedral. You know how it is.

[florescences]

[ elsyia is not sure she knows how it is. ]

Oh? That's fun, too. What exactly was it that you did before coming here?

[sprayandpray]

[ don't worry about it. ]

I'm a student, so mostly attending class and looking after the cathedral.

[florescences]

Was the cathedral a base of some sort? There must be some reason you have a number of firearms.

[sprayandpray]

For the Sisterhood, in a way...? But no girl would be caught dead without a firearm anywhere in Kivotos.

[ that would be soooo embarrassing. ]

[florescences]

Huh? It's normal for everyone to have a firearm in your world?

[ ?

that's her whole emotion. ]

[sprayandpray]

Oh, no. Only students.

[florescences]

[ she's even more confused. ]

Why only students?

[sprayandpray]

High school is a tumultuous time in any girls life.

[ ????? ]

[florescences]

[ elysia is used to the whole world being a tumultuous time, but it's a little weird for it to be only high schoolers. ]

What are you learning in high school...?

[sprayandpray]

[ the whole world is also high school girls. ]

Standard curriculum, really. Math, history, combat, science, language, physical education.

[florescences]

Do you have.... gun fights for your combat lessons?

[ she is really trying to puzzle this together. ]

[sprayandpray]

We mostly watch educational blu-rays on combat strategy and gun care. We get enough experience in our day to day lives that running live combat practice would be a bit superfluous.

[florescences]

Okay. Why don't you explain why gunfights are an everyday occurrence for you?

[sprayandpray]

Not everyone is good at conflict resolution. So there are all kinds of reasons. Political conflict between schools, delinquents and gangs, or scuffles over limited pastries at the bakery...

[florescences]

You all.... jump to using firearms? The way Majima and Daigo jump to using their fists?

[ is this how the battle mechanic for blue archive works ]

[sprayandpray]

I don't know much about either of those two, but... It may be like that? It's a simple enough way to resolve problems.

[ genuinely, yes. ]

[florescences]

But don't people get hurt or killed from it?

[sprayandpray]

Oh, not really. A little gunfire wouldn't be enough to shatter anyone's halo.

I understand this works differently in other worlds.

[florescences]

Oh!

[ she claps her hands together. she is ready to accept this. ]

So your halo functions like your heart?
