Da Wasp: But, Master, you must—for my sake.
Ace: Rose, what do you an? Give the details.]
Learning about the Curse Concealnt Art, Ace imdiately decided to hurry to the lakehouse and begin practicing as quickly as possible. Even without Emi boasting about it, Ace knew that Nakamura Ninjutsu was unparalleled in the ga Cosmic Combat. Her family's ninjutsus allowed the ninjas of the Nakamura sect to stand toe-to-toe with powerful alien races and cosmic beings who gathered at the cosmic arena to determine the strongest.
As for Mandy, he could tell her that sothing urgent had co up and that he had to return on his own. He felt she would be relieved to hear that, especially considering how she clung to him while fending off Janice and Delores' teasing—or, more accurately, their sexual provocations.
He couldn't help but feel that the actress and manager duo were tempting him into committing a cri. Unfortunately for them, after experiencing Emi's unrealistically perfect body combined with her innate sexual arts, his tolerance to such provocation had significantly increased. Still, the real thing had its own charm—not to ntion their bodies were enhanced by curse energy, erasing mortal flaws.
Be that as it may, he never expected one of his Toy Summons to ask him to return to Janice's villa, especially after he had miraculously managed to escape without exposing his identity as a cursemaster. Knowing Da Wasp, he was certain she must have a reason and waited for her to explain herself.

Da Wasp: Master, after you granted full authority to design my new body for my second enchantnt, I have been collecting and studying various curse-crafting techniques and curse-tool forging arts posted on the Curse Web. Among them, I discovered techniques and arts for identifying the abilities of unowned curse tools. These are the sa thods the Steel Song Society relies on to double-check the abilities of curse tools they harvest from newborn cursemasters.
Da Wasp: Those techniques and arts rely on the principle of using the original cursemaster's or cursesmith's blood, hair, nails, or DNA materials to identify the tool's abilities.
Da Wasp: Master, when I saw Janice Jane—the talented actress who brought the character Betty Rose and Da Wasp to life on the big screens, making the movie series an international sensation—I had a sudden inspiration. What if I were to use blood, hair, or nails from Janice Jane as a material for my second enhancent? I believe that, if nothing else, it would greatly increase my chances of successfully undergoing the enhancent.
Ace: Rose, how sure are you about this?
Da Wasp: For now, it is just a hypothesis, Master. However, if the Cursed Toybox were to accept Janice's DNA along with other materials during my second enhancent, I believe that would be enough to prove my theory correct.]
When preparing to animate Emi, Da Wasp and Ace conducted tests on their Cursed Toybox to better understand the principles behind its functioning and to increase the compatibility rate between a curse core and a toy. While they were unable to uncover the principles of the Toybox's enigmatic curse ability, their efforts were not without gains.
They observed that when they prepared materials for the Cursed Toybox to animate a toy, the cursed clown would omnisciently sort out the toy and its add-ons, rejecting anything that didn't belong. After rigorous testing and validation, they concluded that their Cursed Toybox wouldn't accept just anything as part of a toy or its add-ons. They didn't know how it worked, but they were never able to trick it.
Therefore, Da Wasp wanted to use the Cursed Toybox as the final judge of her hypothesis that using Janice's DNA material in her second enchantnt might lead to sothing unexpected—or at least increase the odds of successfully undergoing the enhancent.

Ace: I find no reason to rebut your hypothesis, Rose. Good work. If you continue like this, we might have a capable curse crafter among us.
Da Wasp: Master, your words are kind. I will work hard to be worthy of your praise. But does this an you will be returning to Janice's place?
Ace: No, not unless I have mastered Emi's Curse Concealnt Art to a sufficient level of proficiency. There's no rush—Janice isn't going anywhere. I will think of sothing to get you her DNA material before we begin your second enhancent.]
The hypothesis proposed by Da Wasp was too attractive to dismiss without giving it a fair shot. If she were correct, at the very least, he would have found a way to increase the success rate of animating a toy or advancing a toy summon. The prospects of this were worth the risk of entering the tiger's den to collect its shedding fur.
Curse cores that matched the abilities of toys with overpowered character designs were rare and hard to co by. He couldn't afford to gamble when it ca to using them for animating toys and advancing toy summons created with them. Therefore, if there were ever a chance to figure out a way to increase the success rate of animating a toy or advancing a toy summon, he would take it despite the risks, as the potential gains were trendous and worth it. This was a gamble he had to take.

Ace: Speaking of which, how far has the creation of your new body progressed?
Da Wasp: Master, they said they can deliver it by tomorrow evening.
Ace: That's quick.
Da Wasp: Master, I only asked them to make the silicone face mask and the wig for Da Wasp's Queen form. I plan to recycle tals from the auto salvage yard, using laser ablation to create magnetic nanoparticles, and then craft the closest version of my Queen form.
Ace: Hang on, Rose. Let catch up! Laser ablation—where are you going to perform it without drawing attention?
Da Wasp: Emi and I were thinking of building an underground lab at your uncle's ranch.
Ace: Why don't you just pollute and maybe burn my uncle's ranch while you're at it? Have you two gone insane. Tell you're kidding.
Da Wasp: We plan to use Barrier, Silence, Storage, and Purification talismans to keep the disturbance and pollution to a minimum. Master, trust us, we've got this.
Emi: Master, fighting!]
