Ash: Where's your little friend?
Valentine: She said she had to go back before they noticed her missing

Ash: Good. Because I wanted to ask you... where's the lamp?

Valentine: The lamp? Somewhere safe.

Ash: How safe? There's been some strange things going on I think Himemiya might be involved in.

Valentine: I put it in my underwear drawer. No one would ever look there.
Ash: Magma would look there.

Valentine: Oh no, that's why I moved it! Before I kept it under my pillow.

Ash: ...and you were going to tell me about this when?
Valentine: Well... V showed up. Eric said something about hiding the lamp better to protect Himemiya from perverts like Magma.

Ash: I'll just add that to the list of things to ask her about then. Let me have it...
Valentine: Don't be mean.
Ash: No more than necessary.

Himemiya: ...Oh, it's you.

Ash: What did Magma wish for?

Himemiya: I don't see why I have to tell you. Djinn-Master confidentiality.

Ash: See this? This is your lamp. Right now I'm holding it, not Magma

Ash: Of course, if you need further convincing, I should tell you I've been doing research on Djinn. You're made of 'pure smokeless fire'. Seems to me like an un-educated way of saying energy.

Ash: Now, I'm not going to threaten to throw your lamp into the ocean or down a well or something like that, because that isn't really permanent for a Djinn. But what I do have is a whole laboratory full of equipment that can alter, consume, convert, or destroy energy. And if one of them doesn't work, I have your lamp so I can keep summoning you until I get it right. Even if it takes a while to kill you, I'm pretty sure everything I try until then will hurt like hell.

Valentine: ASH! You can't do that!
Ash: Yes, I can. And I will if she doesn't cooperate.

Ash: Well?
Valentine: You might want to tell her, Himemiya.
Himemiya: Oh fine.

Himemiya: Magma wished to be able to turn into a girl whenever he wanted so that he could make you fall in love with him. There, you happy? You really are a horrible girl, I don't know what he sees in you.

Ash: He thinks I'm a lesbian too?
Himemiya: You are pretty masculine.

Ash: Why didn't he just wish that I'd fall in love with him?

Himemiya: I asked him that. He said he doesn't want to change you, and he'd rather change himself to be who you want. Can I go now?
Ash: ...sure. Thanks.

Valentine: Wow! That's... really sweet in a messed up kinda way. What are you going to do about it?

Ash: I don't know...
