Chapter 266: The identity of the scent

TLN: No way I would leave the chapter like that! So here’s one more!
This will not count in the sponsor chapter count. Enjoy! …Is what I would want to say…


Ugh.
A thin layer of smoke hangs over the store’s interior.
As I thought, an unpleasant smell is spreading.
It is an atmosphere that makes me wince a little.
For now, I ignore the mostly negative gazes that were being poured on me and search for the two I came here for.
It is not a big store, so I was soon able to find the back figure of the familiar two.
But it looks like I will have to hurry.
As I approach the two in fast steps, the more I could tell the state of the two.
This is bad!
Akashi-san is trying to open a small bottle for Yuduki-san!
…She opened it!!
Damn it, I didn’t make it in time.
…Now that it has come to this, might as well…
Go with the plan I previously had in mind.
“Azusa.”
I mutter in a low voice and call for my habitual bow.
At that moment, a sense of touch was born from my left palm, and I grab it.
No arrow prepared.
Without giving time for the customers to panic, I take stance with my bow, enhance it with magic power, and pluck the string.
“?!!”
With me as the centre, the smoke and smell that was hanging over the place was blown away.
A whirling wind spread while leaving the store’s interior.
Looks like I managed to do it well.
Since the time at the Demon race territory, I haven’t held back much, so I didn’t know how much to hold back here. Well, as long as the result is fine, it is okay, I suppose.
The bottle that Akashi-san had in her hand fell and broke.
The liquid that was staining the wooden table made one long strand down and quickly evaporated in a thin smoke.
From what I can sense, there’s no ‘smell’ remaining there.
Of course, in the interior of this store as well, and of course, it disappeared from the ‘inside’ of these customers and employees too.
Good grief.
That guy is beginning quite the outrageous thing.
So he doesn’t care about my warning.
The matter with the guns, and now this.
I remember the insides of the bottle and the smell inside the store.
Leaving aside the concept of it, it is the dangerous type.
…That damn Tomoki.
“Hey there, Akashi-san, Yuduki-san, what a coincidence.” (Makoto)
Even I know there’s no coincidence in this.
But still, I thought that there was no choice but to do so in this place.
Smoothing things over is not in my list of skills, so please forgive me on that one.
Akashi-san had a dumbfounded face as she looked at me.
…After looking at what happened, it can’t be helped.
It seems like Yuduki-san is trying to hold back her agitation.
She is looking at me with a somewhat stern face.
Looking at her tightened lips, she probably has noticed something already.
“…Boss Raidou, why are you here?” (Akashi)
“Yeah. You can’t fool us with that coincidence talk. I heard that you would be busy with the labyrinth for a while.” (Yuduki)
“Yes. In truth, more than half of it can be called a coincidence though.” (Makoto)
“That means there’s a part that doesn’t apply in the coincidence, right?” (Yuduki)
Yuduki-san still has that stern face.
At present, I have become somewhat knowledgeable about things like medicines and magic medications.
However, just like how charms serve the same purpose as talismans and amulets—wait no, the comparison wasn’t that good there. Charms are mostly turned into amulets and talismans are—wait, why am a beginning a lecture here.
What’s important here is that the magic medication that Akashi-san had in her hands was not the type for medical treatment and it was a type I still wasn’t familiar with.
I can understand it roughly, and I know the objective of Tomoki, so as long as they don’t ask for a deep explanation about it, there’s no problem.
The problem is, how am I going to tell them.
On top of that…
I look around the establishment.
Everyone was making a face as if they had been tricked by a *fox or a racoon* as they were trying to grasp the situation. <fox and raccoons are seen as the scheming type that play dirty tricks on people>
Doesn’t seem to be a good place to continue our conversation.
It enters in the area of private talk, so…at this moment…that place would be best.
It would be two birds with one stone after all.
“Yeah. Looks like I will have to get involved in the trouble of the top brass. Now then, it is already this late, so how about you two accompany me to the labyrinth?” (Makoto)
I can protect the secret, and if there’s anyone following us, we can easily lose them.
And while at it, I can search for Beren and the others as well.
It should be okay to talk in the grand labyrinth.
“I see. A place suitable for private talks, right?” (Yuduki)
“Y-Yeah…” (Makoto)
Yuduki-san slightly widens her eyes and whispers as if impressed.
She is nodding, so it should be fine to take it as her accepting.
Akashi-san was looking alternately at Yuduki-san and I as if she was half asleep.
“Then, let’s go.” (Makoto)
“Understood. Akashi, we are going.” (Yuduki)
Yuduki-san had Akashi-san stand, and leaves the store as if dragging her.
I leave some change at the store and depart as well.
At any rate…that Tomoki, to think he would turn his charm into a drug.
What an outrageous thing to think of.
If Senpai learns of this, a war between hyumans might occur before the war with the demons ends.
Hibiki-senpai would probably try her damnedest to stop it after all.
However, it is an incredible idea.
If you are not at his side, the charm will have no effect to begin with, and if you know of its existence, there’s ways to go against it.
Of course, completely shutting it out will depend on a battle of strength though.
It is strong, but in a sense, it is an ability that has its restrictions. That’s how I thought.
But putting the charm ability in a tool and spread it around in that way will dramatically increase the effective range. Moreover, that tool is a perfume. It diffuses around the area like incense.
The compatibility with the charm is quite good.
For the side that tries to prevent it, that’s a lot worse than placing an accessory on the target.
You can’t just stop breathing, and you will have to take in mind the direction of the wind at all times.
In the first place, there’s quite a lot of spells that can control the wind.
That guy…seriously only has brains for the most hopeless stuff.
I am impressed.
Leaving aside the fight between Naoi and Kannaoi, and the competition between all the Osakabe; right now, the currently occurring fight of the Osakabe has Tomoki or the Empire involved in it.
In the end, it seems like I will have to get involved with this city.
My head is already hurting with matters of the 20th floor. Good grief.
Without being able to find a solution for it yet, I follow the two and enter the labyrinth.
◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆
Fourth floor of the grand labyrinth.
In the deepest place that the two bodyguards can go to, we take one big breath.
There’s no trace of Beren and the others.
At this rate, I can see that they are at a lower floor than this.
Just what in the world are they doing?
The three don’t seem like they needed to increase their level though.
Even in the floors after the tenth, they worked pretty well.
“Now then, if it’s around here, there should be no one to hear us. You two, it seems like you didn’t return to Iroha-chan’s place all day long. What were you two investigating?” (Makoto)
Leaving aside Yuduki-san, I am interested in what Akashi-san has to say.
The origin of that bottle.
I don’t thing Sairitz-san is involved in it, but I am interested in how far of the Osakabe household this has spread.
“…We were…investigating about a certain influential person that has the highest probability of aiming for Iroha-sama’s life.” (Yuduki)
“So, an opposing faction of Iroha-chan huh. I see. And who is this person?” (Makoto)
“How to say it, rather than calling it an opposing faction, it is more like that person is the one who holds the true authority at the Osakabe household at present. Iroha-sama doesn’t really hold that much authority.” (Yuduki)
Now that I think about it, I did hear that they are unrelated with the matter of the successor.
There’s already a political marriage settled.
She is being married off, so I thought she would be treated somewhat importantly, but it looks like that’s not the case.
And Yuduki-san, you are not going to tell me the name?
Well, if that person has that much authority, I can learn who it is by investigating, but…going through the trouble of doing that is a pain.
“And, who is it?” (Makoto)
“I would be grateful if you catch on that it is hard to speak of.” (Yuduki)
“Now now, it is Boss Raidou here, so isn’t it fine? The one that Yuduki was investigating was Tatsuki Kougetsu. He is one of the people serving long at a responsible position called chief minister in the Osakabe household. In words that a foreigner could understand…it is like a cabinet minister? Ah, Boss is a Wise, so maybe you understand it already?” (Akashi)
Chief minister…
I don’t know how much of it is the same chief minister I know of, but if it’s what I think of, I can tell that he has quite the authority.
However, he is not a person from the Osakabe household?
“Akashi!” (Yuduki)
“It seems like he saved us there in some way. We have to return the favor. There’s no need to be frugal about the information we currently hold.” (Akashi)
It is a saving that Akashi-san has a light mouth, in a good meaning,
It seems like Yuduki-san already doesn’t mind it much.
In Lorel, you first say the family name and then your first name, so…there’s a high chance that this Kougetsu-san is the one pulling the wires.
Hm? Kougetsu?
“Kougetsu…” (Makoto)
I mutter the name as a question pops in my mind.
Looking at my state, Yuduki-san sighs as if she gave up and speaks.
“He is the brother of Iroha-sama’s retainer, Shougetsu-sama. And then…it seems like he has his attention on the Kuzunoha Company as well. Be careful.” (Yuduki)
“Even us?” (Makoto)
“You entered the country with such an extravagant promissory note, so it most likely caught his eye. The name of Kahara-sama and power of influence reaches even Kannaoi plenty enough.” (Yuduki)
“The promissory note huh…” (Makoto)
I didn’t expect this to have power on the level of a *seal case*. <a reference to Koumon’s seal>
Speaking seriously, with that, I can walk around in joy inside the country even without a wallet.
I feel like it will turn into a big debt towards Sairitz-san, so I will never do it though.
So that made him lock onto us huh.
No, since there’s Tomoki, I can’t just assume that was the reason why.
Let’s tread carefully.
But the one that actually had the bottle was Akashi-san, so the chances of Kougetsu-san and Tomoki joining arms is a bit weak, probably.
“Akashi-san, who were you investigating, and…where did you obtain that perfume-like bottle from?” (Makoto)
“Me? To tell you the truth, I don’t remember well. A part of my memories are hazy.” (Akashi)
“Hah? Akashi, what are you saying? Didn’t you say that you had caught on a connection that would definitely overturn the current situation of Iroha-sama?” (Yuduki)
She doesn’t remember.
In other words, she had become a puppet of that incense in the middle.
“Eh? Did I say that? Or more like, Yuduki, having a meeting at such an establishment, you have bad taste.” (Akashi)
“I’m shocked. You said you had found a place that we could use as a safe hiding spot. Saying that, you brought me to that establishment.” (Yuduki)
“Eh?!” (Akashi)
Akashi-san’s memories have turned vague.
Is it because of the after-effects, or maybe self-defense?
If it’s the latter, I am sorry for this, but I will have her remember it in order.
With Yuduki-san’s cooperation, that should be possible.
“Yuduki-san, you remember that Akashi-san was the one who invited you to that establishment and entered it, right?” (Makoto)
In this cases, you shouldn’t think about opportune moments and just go straight for the jugular.
“Of course. It is true that it is a place that doesn’t have much people, but it also didn’t strike me as having a good clientele.” (Yuduki)
“You also remember the bottle?” (Makoto)
“Yeah. She said that it was some sort of symbolic incense somewhere and that there was the need to make copies of it for investigation.” (Yuduki)
“But Akashi-san doesn’t remember.” (Makoto)
“Y-Yeah… By the time I came to, Boss Raidou was calling to me……That’s certainly weird.” (Akashi)
The charm of Tomoki shouldn’t be able to alter the memories.
At the very least, that perfume and scent didn’t have such power.
Then, she should be able to remember.
“Yuduki-san, what were the plans for Akashi-san today?” (Makoto)
For now, I leave Akashi-san who is in confusion, and ask Yuduki-san.
The two were investigating as they contacted each other.
In that case, she would be able to know the actions of the other side.
“The major point was that she was going to create a connection with a certain someone. An incredibly important person for Iroha-sama and is currently—” (Yuduki)
“In short, who is it?” (Makoto)
“…The state of Akashi was certainly strange. It is certain that a turbulent movement is approaching us. It is not the time to be keeping secrets.” (Yuduki)
“I share the same sentiment.” (Makoto)
Maybe because of her character as an information gatherer, she has a principle of keeping secrets tightly.
But currently in this city, I don’t think there’s much meaning in keeping secrets from me.
Good grief. Trust is complicated.
“Haruka-sama; Iroha-sama’s mother.” (Yuduki)
“…That’s right. I…had caught on the whereabouts of Haruka-sama, and then…she invited me to the Kishimo temple.” (Akashi)
Invited?
No, right now the priority is to have her remember her memories in order.
Let’s keep silent.
“What did you say?! You met madam?!” (Yuduki)
“Yeah… And then, I was led to a room with a nice scent. And I think there was also a chamberlain that had skills that that were not average…” (Akashi)
…Hey hey.
An even worse presentiment surfaced in my mind.
“Where?! Which Kishimo temple?!” (Yuduki)
“Uhm… At a place of the Osakabe branch family where there’s several houses, in a place that was being used as a family temple. The one that’s at the Silkwork street, right, it was there.” (Akashi)
“Akashi! Well done! You are a genius!! With this, Iroha-sama will be happy as well! I see, so that scent was the symbol of that place!!” (Yuduki)

This is bad.
This is incredibly bad.
A bad presentiment is steadily growing.
It is like the time when I saw the wife of Rembrandt and his daughters. It felt as if that melancholic feeling would overflow through my throat.
If possible, I felt like running away from this place.
“And so, I was told…by Haruka-sama. She said that there’s something she wanted to give to Iroha-sama and that she was asking of me to do it. And then, she entrusted me a small bottle. That’s why, I…for the sake of master, I thought that I had to tell Yuduki as well. Wait, who is master?” (Akashi)
“Akashi?” (Yuduki)

There’s no doubt that the source of the charm incense is the Empire.
Even if we still don’t know where and how far it has been spread to.
In that case, the reason for the dispute in the household, and the puppets of Tomoki I killed; the reason they escaped from the treatment in the middle of it as well, maybe it has something to do with that incense.
If a patient for drug poisoning is given the drug once more even if only a little, it is clear that it would be as certain as the sun rising that the treatment wouldn’t progress properly.
And then, this incense is currently, at the very least, invading the mother of Iroha-chan.
From what I have heard of Akashi-san, there’s no doubt that the spreading side is also affected by it.
From what I see, I think Akashi-san is somewhat safe.
But that Haruka person, it sounds like bad news.
The word ‘too late’ surfaced in my mind.
“What a disgusting feeling. I feel like I might puke out all my happy memories.” (Makoto)
After recalling my memories for a while, Akashi-san who had an ashen face was muttering contradicting words as she staggered to a wall.
And then, an expected sound rang out.
But it probably won’t end with just that.
She will probably have a hangover with self-disgust added to it, and will taste what will probably make even a three day hangover look cute.
But it is probably a blessing that she was spared with ‘only that much’.
“Kugh… Raidou-dono, did anything come to mind?” (Yuduki)
“Yeah, a number of things. First of all, that bottle Akashi-san had and the scent that was hanging over that store was a scent that had a charm power packed in it. Smoke and perfume, to make it easy, let’s call it charm incense.” (Makoto)
“Charm incense…” (Yuduki)
“It seems like it was packed with a strong charm power that makes anyone who smelled it into a slave of a certain man.” (Makoto)
“Could it be that was the reason why Akashi said something as foolish as master?! I see, Kougetsu!!” (Yuduki)
“No, he is not the one the charm incense enslaves you to.” (Makoto)
“…Eh?” (Yuduki)
“Iwahashi Tomoki; the Empire’s hero. The charm incense is…a tool to create his slaves.” (Makoto)
“Hero?! T-Then, are you saying this matter was not a simple dispute of the household?! Is that what you are saying, Raidou-dono?!” (Yuduki)
“Probably. I still don’t know what he is planning though.” (Makoto)
“I remembered one other thing…” (Akashi)
Akashi-san returns to the conversation still with her ashened expression.
If it’s information about that temple, anything would be fine.
It would help out.
“At that place, I think…there was Kougetsu-sama and a number of the princesses as well. Ugh…” (Akashi)
Don’t you have any information that might change the situation for the better?
At the lower floors, there’s a girl that hates me lying in wait.
And above ground, the charm of Tomoki has become the seed of strife.
What a time to come to Kannaoi.
I wonder if I can go with everyone to the grand labyrinth in the morning.
Maybe I should just call Lime or the Forest Onis as well?
Even if I call them, it doesn’t mean that it will erase the fact that it is already too late, and in the end, things will turn out as they will.
At the very least, we can stop the victims from expanding.
Hah… what a loser’s thought.
DAMN IT!
Tomoki, and Sofia; they just do unnecessary things all the time!
Especially Tomoki!
Doing something as stupid as charming people you don’t even know. I’m impressed he even thought of it.
AAAH, my head is hurting!

  • You know, I should be disgusted with Tomoki. I should be outraged. But I'm not.
    At this point, after learning that he figured out a way to expand his charm effects in such an effective way, and that he's greedy/ambitious enough to circulate that crap into the world to obtain people he doesn't even know...
    At this point, I'm just impressed. It's already become hilarious how this idiot just won't quit and is causing Makoto this much trouble. You have to admit, the headache our MC is getting this chapter is more damage than you'd ever have expected Tomoki to do to him.
    It kind of reminds me of that "I'm still alive motherf*cker. Still alive." poster of a bird that had its neck mauled away by a bigger bird of prey.

    • it starts to make me mad with Makoto. Why does he keep being so passive despite Tomoki doing all this shit. even if not killing him, Makoto should at least seal him away.

      • It's because he doesn't give a damn so long as it's not around him. And Tomoki was beaten so bad the last time, there was no doubt Tomoki would bitch out once he knew the power difference.
        The problem is the princess. She's the one manipulating Tomoki, trying to recreating guns, and is most likely behind the new perfume.
        Further more, he's trying not to kill the heroes due to having to deal with the Goddess afterwards. Once he fucks with one of them he WILL have to deal with Bug and he believes he's not ready for that.
        Lastly, He's trying to play nice with them due to Tsukiyomi's desire. But even that's been wearing thing for him the first time he met Tomoki.

    • Well, this makoto bad luck, maybe this coincidence while tomoki princesw lay their hand toward Lorel but makoto is there. Makoto see this as obstruction.

    • I doubt Tomoki's got much to do with it. Spreading charm power like this is outside the scope of his simple selfish interest. This just reeks of Lily's nasty little brand of " fuck this planet and everyone on it ".
      Hm, didn't Tomoe issue a warning to Tomoki and Lily? I'm surprised she hasn't gone to evaporate them like a particularly unpleasant fart.

    • Well , if i recall the promise right, was about hyumans , not humans, so he can Hurt or kill tomoki.

    • If this hole development was his doing them I will congratulates him for surprising me, do you know what would be even more crazy, if after all Lily is in fact affected by the charm and instead of been manipulating Tomoki all this time...DUM....DUM...DUM...DUM...it has been the other way around!!!!!! XD

  • "TLN: No way I would leave the chapter like that! So here’s one more!
    This will not count in the sponsor chapter count. Enjoy! …Is what I would want to say…"
    *you already said it*
    Reigokai ...!!
    You're going too fast ! Translation too fast !
    My A.I cannot... compute.. the end.. is.. near..

  • After it finished reading, I really feel like makoto......puking feeling......forced betrayal is the worst.

  • After clearing this mess, I hope Makoto to visit Empire beat up Trashmoki half-day, NTR Lily then killed him.

    • he should just kill Lily as well. no good can come from leaving someone like her alive.

      • so true, tomoki is actually just her puppet it's funny how some readers are just ignoring her deeds

      • Nonono, just take off her earrings that are blocking the charm power. Give her a taste of her own medicine.

        • That's actually an interesting thought.
          Lily has been keeping herself safe with her special protective accessories, but Tomoki has been training up his charm power at the same time.
          What are the chances that he'll eventually power up his skill enough to break through her defenses?

      • But Lily's love at first sight(Yan) to me.
        She just got unlucky and got thrash hero with thrash skill from trash bug.
        If she got Makoto instead, she won't be this bad.
        Trash skill wrap her pure(dark) mind to use wrapped method to utilize it.
        If she got Makoto OP cheat then all she need is guide Makoto to unit the world and beat up bug.

        • no, she wasn't corrupted by tomoki, but was indeed an "accelerator" in tomoki fall
          just reminder, that the instant tomoki came, she started manipulate him, used drugs against his will (shortening his life-span), and used girls as bait and meatbag to keep tomoki under controle.
          her is to destroy both demon race and gritonia.
          saying that if she had someone with less dirty power, she wouldn't use that much dirty power isn't making her better.

    • NTR Lily?? PFFTT why makoto need an used goods? just throw her to a goblins nest and be done with it.

    • trashmoki gets ntr by using lily?? hell, wonder if it would turn out like that, cause we already couldnt count how many did this trash impregnate women by our fingers already. Rather a nice Beat-the-bully-will-be-bullied sounds much better

  • I would be very disappointed if Makoto, after hearing all this, would half-ass his response to Tomoki. Seriously, just kill the idiot, you've already warned him and he's still being an idiot. Makoto needs to respond in kind before Tomoki reaches Kuzunoha.

  • I hote Makoto will 'nuke' the Empire (& Tomoki).
    Every problem will be solved if he do that :
    - Empire in ruin / wipe out.
    - A warning for his senpai, for Saritz & for the demons.
    - Goddess has been weakened so she can't act for now if her opponent is powerful enough to challenge a goddess of War.

    • Isnt showed with previous chapter long time ago about when makoto nuking the enemies within his dream? And that dream also a gift from certain Deity as an answer for makoto especially to readers

    • because killing millions of innocents as a revenge for the action of a single man is supposed to make you better than tomoki?
      people thinking like you are the closest to become like tomoki in his position...

      • How many were infected / touched by Tomoki's charm ? It may be already too late for the Empire people.

        • you don't know but go for the genocide because it's easier
          most likely only the top dog of the country (minus those who have counter for it, like royalties) and maybe a part of the capital citizen.
          and there is still no proof that there is no cure for it, or that it won't disappear by killing only tomoki.
          but nuke fuck yeah! let's take the genocide rout!

          • Actually... We do know something about this charm power : It can destroy the subject's personality (the 3 Shadowless).
            Tomoki can now use this power with some perfume (& maybe other type : Food, water). So his charm power has evolved to become a bacteriological weapon that can create slaves.
            So ? What would you do if you were in this situation ? Would you let a bacteriological weapon spread on every country ? Just because "there may be a cure" ? And if you do not have the time to create this "cure" or it doesn't exist, what will you do ?
            Would you sacrifice Empire people ? Or would you let it destroy this world and touch your friends and your family ?
            So I don't go "for the genocide because it's easier". I believe it's the best solution in this situation : Destroy the heart of the problem before it can spread further.

          • it already spread to other countries and you don't know the actual severity in empire's citizen

          • If there's perfume, then we can consider that the air is already contaminate by his charm. After all, this can also serve him as a protective barrier against enemy's attack.
            For example, if the demon race send an army on their capital, everyone in this army will turn into slaves for Tomoki with only his power (& air). Tomoki himself won't need to move at all. Pretty powerful, right ? And also pretty scary...
            But if Tomoki did this... then there's already no hope for the Empire people.
            Now... What would you do if you were Tomoki ? Build a perfect defense first that no one can breach ? Or start to attack another country ?
            Strategically speaking, I would choose the first option : Build a perfect defense. In this world, only Makoto and the Goddess would be able destroy this kind of defense. And Tomoki doesn't know Makoto's true power...

          • demon were always shown to have a better engineering than humans, they should be able to find a counter to it
            it's not realistic to cover the whole country with it, that's the reason why the perfume was used in the bar (enclosed area).
            his defenses aren't "perfect"
            it would be far more logical to kill tomoki and see what effect it has on people first rather than immediately going for the nuke

          • @A Stop Sign
            For now only the princess of Gritoria & Tomoki are the one using this kind of bacteriological weapon. Moreover their research & production facility should be in the Empire. Destroy the Empire and you destroy everything needed to build this weapon. You also kill the puppeteer. No way to restock + No orders from the puppeteer = No spread.
            Makoto managed to cure Akashi (& Sofia) because she was expose to his charm during a short period of time (= she didn't lose her personality). To cure someone expose during a long period of time... well... Death is a solution. Maybe we will see something else in the next chapter (with Haruka).

      • @darkhelios
        There's nothing to indicate that the perfume can be manufactured without Tomoki. It's his divinely gifted power, so he's still a single point of failure for production of the charm perfume. Nuking Gritoria doesn't really do... anything? If anything you'd make the situation worse, since you'd be destroying information about production and distribution. That's really bad policy if you want to stop the spread of the stuff or find a cure. The perfume's already in other countries.
        Also Makoto literally just purged the perfume's charm effects this chapter, and I don't buy him being the most skilled at curse purging in all the land, so. . . yeah.

        • To be honest, even if the perfume could be made without Tomoki, that doesn't change the effect to be anything but "Worship Tomoki."
          Getting rid of the key component of the charm's effects could go a long way in restoring functionality to people that are charmed, even if they aren't fully cured. They would be upset that Tomoki is dead, but as far as doing anything else, they'd live relatively normally, wouldn't they?
          The really bad cases might just drop dead from losing their strings, but as a whole this sounds like a solid solution in terms of "damage control".
          ...Or it would be, if the goddess wouldn't descend in a divine fury as she most likely would if that happened.
          I'm personally against killing Tomoki. It's a little morbid, but at this point I'm curious just how far he can go and how far he'll fall. It's like watching a nature documentary featuring that parasitic creature slowly and brutally killing another species. It's so horrific but I just can't look away.
