Ririro receives another text from Guren.

Guren : what about my proposal ?

Guren : do you actually have someone you like already ?

Guren : it's fine. This is just on paper. You want to be human still ?

Ririro ; .... I'm thinking about it. Give me some time.

Keiro : hey.

Ririro : keiro ? Why are you here ?

Keiro: I heard that you came here for a mission.

Ririro: oh.

Keiro: I've got something to show you.

He brought her to a park and they say down on a bench.

Ririro : what is it ?

Keiro : remember you asked about why I agreed to ask to marry you ?

Ririro : um

Keiro ; I do have ambitions to become a clan leader.

Ririro ; if you have a Nui. It won't help. Everyone will say you're a retainer. Plus, no one wants a Nui as a descendant.

Keiro sits back on the bench " sighs. Don't need one. Choosing a clan leader may lead to the descendant, but it never always is. Plus. If I can have you stay a human all these years. It will be a great achievement for me."

Ririro : have me stay a human. You mean not go berserk ?

Keiro ; yes.

Ririro ; by using your ability ?

Keiro ; oh come on. I'm not a mean person. Like that seimei. Just, not be a jujitsu user.

Ririro : ... Not be one ? Quit entirely ?

Keiro: I'm not asking you to leave your family. You're still part of our world. But imagine, a day you don't have to do missions. Don't have to kill curses or eat curses.

Ririro ; .... That... Really can happen ?

Keiro ; of course. I can do as I say.

Ririro : wasn't the whole point of marrying me to control me ?

Keiro ; well. I'm good enough to kill whatever they need you to eat. At worse, I'll bring my thick skinned face to satoru and beg him.

Ririro laughs a little " ok. "

Keiro ; you're cute when you laugh you know. You should laugh more.

Ririro blushed a little

Keiro : worrying doesn't suit you.

Ririro : .... You're nice.

Keiro ; well , you're cute too.

Ririro ; you really don't want any descendants ?

Keiro ; if they are that important to me, then let's adopt.

Ririro : ... You really have thought this out.

Keiro ; I am, trying to get you to marry me.
