You know its good when the readers have sensible debates over a non-existent character. That aside, anyone with me that Claire-sama is pretty but she's prettier without the drills?
Also, @iskaeil ReporoT is right. It isn't a blackmail of sorts.
gotta hand it over to the novel's heroine. Gracie is so damn stunning. She's almost perfect, and she knows it too. Id love a side story about gracie and her adventures.
