"Have you battle against it?" She frowned. At the temple she had battles against Emma-O from time to time pleading to the fortune not to take the souls.

"Battled against death?" He shakes his head, noticing her mood swinging wit an analytical frown in his gaze. "Not yet, but I won't cower from it when the time arrives."

"I am glad to hear that, Seppun sama." She took the brush to add circles designed

The boy who would potentially die of old age –– if nothing too dire happens to the Empire –– says, "So now you erase what I did, and make it better, huh?"

"In that collision have you found Benten-no Kami's blessing? Have you found new acquaintances that may aid your future endeavours?" She tilted her head quizzically. "Part of my duties is to guide lost souls. Like Shinsei guided and chose the thunders."

"Benten-kami?" He crosses his arms, looking serious at her, "So Kaito-san thinks I am a damaged, lost soul. That's it?"
