ASHIKOU. —— CONTRACT : ACCEPTED !
“But…”
He paused, drawing out the vowels in his words as he leaned forward, bringing his gaze closer to Abeno as if he could bypass his arms and sleepy aura. He understood very well the strain that came with the daunting title of ‘mononokean master’ and yet this eerie feeling that came from being possessed was too difficult to ignore. Since when had the school been under the influence of a demon – surely, something to this scale couldn’t be ignored ( even if it wasn’t actually a job ).

By now, his figure has arisen as he forces his body to straighten, awaken, even if it remains somewhat slouched. If anything, his own senses were more sensitive to the growth of malevolence, acute to the yokai having taken root into and through their foundation. Such demonic seeds had bloomed times before, giving birth to life more ugly, more vile than the last. Nevertheless, as not only as an exorcist but as a human teenager at that, his options remained severely limited. A sigh escapes him, reiterating a statement breathed only moments before, although Ashiya dropping the matter was as likely as it dissipating entirely ; slim to none.
❛ Like I said, ignore it. ❜
