Kugo

Heh, that seemed awfully slow for lightning.

There's no way that's your special move, right?

Candice

Who are you calling slow?

In that case, why don't you hurry up and die?!

2. After the battle

Candice

How'd you like that, huh? How'd it feel getting scorched by a slowpoke?!

Several days earlier

Candice

And? Am I supposed to cry tears of gratitude for the Soul Reapers who healed my wounds, and then become one of their pawns?

Mayuri

It is inaccurate to say we healed your wounds. It's more like we rebooted your practically-dead body.

Well, the experiments we carried out while you were half-dead, beginning with an autopsy, are mostly complete.

Candice

Wh-What did you just say?! Autopsy?!

Mayuri

Properly speaking, research on your rare species was completed long ago.

No more samples are needed as far as internal research goes.

However, I do hope you'll cooperate during this upcoming experiment, where I plan to observe your performance during battle.

Otherwise, I'll have to send out replacements.

Candice

Replacements?

Mayuri

The zombie girl and young glutton girl you were traveling with.

It seems they've been sneaking around Hueco Mundo lately.

Candice

Hey, wait. Liltotto and Giselle are still alive?! Is Bambietta too, then?!

Mayuri

Yes, although the bomb girl is still in a zombified state. We even came face-to-face once, you know.

But they didn't realize I had planted surveillance bacteria on their bodies. You Quincies really are a careless bunch.

Well, how about it? I'm often told I have kindness running through my veins instead of blood.

So if you agree to cooperate...

I'd be willing to return the specimens, your bodies, to your fellow Quincies after the experiment is complete.
