[ “Fun” and “killing” don’t go all too well together usually, at least to Arima. More of a chore than anything else, a duty— not much of it was really fun, but this was not the time or place to wax poetics with a small murderous-seeming child. ]
As a matter of fact, I do. I come from Tokyo, where ghouls are rife and must be killed. Though [ —his voice turns softer at this— ] my job isn’t fun in the slightest.
[ How many funerals had he gone to? How many comrades has he watched die?
When Arima thinks about it, there’s no way he could hold a decent conversation about it with this child. ]
“haaah! I got it right again! hmmmm then is just a job were you have to kill others? I never heard of a job like that..” of course she was still a kid and didn’t know much of what adults do at their job but she didn’t know there was something like this.
“Ghouls? what’s a ghoul? is it some type of alien or something?”
Ghouls are creatures that look like their prey. That is, they are humanlike beings that eat actual humans.
[ He explains it all a matter of factly, without a hint of bias. Killing them is simply a job done for a job, not out of hatred or anything. ]
