Canon: Kamisama Kiss

[choukami]

As flattered as I am about this, it might be a little early for me. There's a lot you don't know yet after all.

Also, in such a public place Tomoe might come and scold me. That wouldn't help very much towards development.

Comments

[bluefireballs]

[...well. This is unexpected.]

Scold you? I don't think that is nearly enough.

[choukami]

Tomoe! Couldn't you be just a little lenient? Since I sent someone home it shouldn't be too bad, right?

[bluefireballs]

[ARE YOU SERIOUS.]

You went away for twenty years and then you sent a human to the shrine! A human!

[choukami]

Nanami is a very nice girl though, and she's been doing a very commendable job. The important thing is I did come back?

[Maybe if he shrugs it all off the consequences won't be as bad.]

[bluefireballs]

You have no idea of how much trouble she...!

[Wait. Waaaaait a moment. There's something here that doesn’t sound right.]

...how do you know about her "commendable job"?

[choukami]

Ah....

Well....

So tell me a bit about what's been going on?

[bluefireballs]

I'm the one who should be asking questions here! Where did you go?

[choukami]

Oh just here and there.

[bluefireballs]

[Dammit, Mikage.]

So you don't plan to tell me. Very well. Could you at least explain why you chose her as your replacement?

[choukami]

She's a kind a girl and I thought you would get along with her. She also has quite a lot of potential.

[And just happened to be a specifically important part of an equation, but why explain such details.]

[bluefireballs]

She also takes unnecessary risks and has some ridiculous ideas.

[choukami]

But it all works out in the end. I assume.

[bluefireballs]

Until now, yes. But who knows how much longer it will "work out in the end"?

[choukami]

I'm sure it will just increase as she gets better.

[bluefireballs]

It would be even better if she didn't get herself in trouble on the first place.

[choukami]

She's still learning, so that should decrease as she grows to understand more.

[bluefireballs]

She could avoid some of it if she listened to me, though.

[tochigami]

Mikage-san?
[ here's a surprise ]
I didn't expect to see you around here!

[choukami]

Ah! Nanami! I didn't expect to see myself here either. But the world works in mysterious ways.

[tochigami]

[ well it's certainly a relief to see him. she furrows her brows a bit. ]

Have you spoken with Tomoe yet? I'm sure he's around here. I know he'd be glad to see you.

[choukami]

I have, he was a bit mad but I hope he can find it in his heart to forgive me.

[tochigami]

As rude as Tomoe can be, I'm sure he'll forgive you, Mikage-san.
[ because tomoe despite everything, was gentle. nanami believed that. ]

[choukami]

I hope so, I wish I could explain to him, but that still has to wait.
