Follow the Script

Chapter 7

Sanae: Now, care to explain why the hell you were consuming the hearts of youkais?!

She yelled to the man sitting on his knees in front of her, silently watching her pointing him with her weapon against youkais. He calmly remained still and watched her glare at him, trying her hardest to make him confess.

Y/N: ...Why not?

Mokou: I don't think you should be saying that.

His opponent from before was sitting in the same position as him right to his left, large bandages covering her wound circling her body. Like he told her, the wound still didn't recover, ignoring the immortal's ability to always recover from her wounds. Meanwhile, he was shoved pills inside his mouth and bandages were covering his broken ribs, starting to recover from the strange medecine.

Y/N: I learned from books that you can heal your body by devouring their insides.

Sanae: What kind of book were you reading?!

Y/N: Dunno, something about Sweepers of the Backstreets eating children and other people. It worked so I just continued.

Mokou: ...Sanae, are we sure that we want to send him back to the outside world? This guy looks like trouble.

Sanae: Whatever, you can't do that. I thought it was something everyone knew, I guess I was wrong.

Y/N: Tell that to all the ones who tried to kill me simply because I was human. From my point of view, you're all fucked up in the head.

Koishi: ?

The girl was sitting to his right and gave him a confused look. He ignored her and kept staring at the shrine maiden.

Y/N: But you took care of the curse, it's fine then.

Sanae: You can't pretend that it didn't happen! You, get closer!

She yelled to the Tengu hiding in the back, trying to sneak away from the lecture. Her icy eyes forced the journalist to drop to her knees, sitting next to the others. Y/N chuckled at her pathetic behaviour.

Y/N: Wimp.

Aya: You're not any better.

Y/N: Says the supposedly fastest person in this world.

Sanae: Shut it the both of you!

Mokou: *Sigh* She really is going all out, I wasn't expecting a lecture.

Y/N: I wasn't expecting her to slap you with one of her magic seals when you tried to escape.

Sanae: Now, all of you, explain yourselves! Mokou, you know better than to attack an outsider, what went through your head?

She was definitely pissed, that was clear as day. Everyone not involved kept their silence and observed the woman of flames looking down, trying to come up with an answer that will force the conversation to continue.

Mokou: I...

Sanae: Whatever it was, can you really consider yourself to be one that will help outsiders when you commit an action like that? Humans trust you for your calmness and also because of your lack of aggression towards them, then you go and simply decide to try to kill an outsider who clearly doesn't know where he is.

Koishi: I can confirm, he doesn't.

Y/N: Yep, I can confirm too.

Mokou: ...

Sanae: If you were able to kill him, then what? Would you have looked at his corpse and felt even a slight bit of remorse? I don't know what kind of idea went through your head but you will have to rethink your actions.
