"Rob-oji and Hyoga told us that they've been to the gates of Hel, but I have trouble believing in an afterlife."

"Well, yeah," Mikoto agreed to Kuroko as she sat down with her own lunch. "An Academy City education doesn't prepare us for the supernatural."

"Despite the fact that we're all espers," Ruiko pointed out.

"I meant magical supernatural, Saten-san. You know how Belldandy can't lie, right? So we could get her to confirm whether there's an afterlife by asking her to sing Prince's 'Let’s Go Crazy'."

"How'd you hear that old song?"

"My mom likes it."

Kazari shook her head as she swallowed the food she'd been eating. "It won't work. First, you're assuming she's allowed to tell us anything about what happens after death. She could just refuse to sing any songs about Heaven. Second, you're assuming she isn't lying when she says she can't lie; we haven't independently confirmed that."

Kuroko frowned. "Uiharu-san, why do you have to be right about this?"
