Is that so? My logic is that one doesn’t jump into the career path of actor if you’re already knee-deep in the one for exorcism. Of course, maybe I underestimate how well you manage your time.
[There's a bit of a delay on the return doll, as if he's deciding what (how much) to say. Or maybe he just needs to find more paper.]
Not at all! I couldn't be worse at time management if I tried! But that's no reason to deny the world my talents.
[(not because of that part, there's no way that part took him a few minutes to come up with.)]
We know we're not the first people to have been here, right? They're willing to keep trying over and over. No matter how much they want their plan to succeed, that's a lot of dedication.
Then you must have help managing your time, with two jobs like that. Colleagues and the like, right?
That's a positive way of looking at it. Here's a negative: that we're just another cycle of figurative guinea pigs in an experiment they're having trouble perfecting.
There's a good number. Some of them do it as a full-time job. The most powerful clans have contracts to protect local politicians, even a few members of the Diet. Powerful people can be very superstitious.
Likewise. Posts like this one are probably our best bet on figuring it out. Keeping an eye on what they're paying attention to, when they get involved, things like that.
That's interesting. I wonder if something else hidden like that exists in my world. It really does sound like something from a TV show. Not to delegitimize what it is you do, of course.
Of course. I'm always paying attention. I suspect you will do the same and remain vigilant, too.

She's certainly got a better reputation among the residents than the Admin. Maybe because she tries.

That's amusing, but you're right. I don't think the Admin's patience is a well that runs quite that deep.

Or at least so he wants us to think. Too paranoid? I get the impression that he's been at this for a while.

With people like ourselves, too?

[Read: no, the Natori clan is a clan of one.]
And I'm hardly the only exorcist in Kumamoto. (I know I don't have the accent; some vocal coaches worked hard on that.)
Most likely. But to keep trying to perfect it despite all the hassle we give them? Whatever it is must be pretty important.
no subject
I can't argue with that. With time, we had best learn what that importance is. It bothers me, not knowing.
