[there's just a soft laugh at that]

What is it that you protect people from? Demon attacks? From being possessed?

From being killed.

[ hm, hmmm. ]

On Thursdays or Sundays?

Unspecified.

It's not a general guarantee, depending on what happens. But "one of our own" can't kill them.

[there's just a soft hum at that]

Interesting... Thank you for sharing.

There's three other protective roles aside from yourself. One that can protect someone from demons on Thursday, Escha's was to save someone from exorcism, and another where I did not get the details.

So, theoretically if she were still alive and we picked someone incorrectly she might be able to help them. But I suppose the accuracy of that depends on who is picked and when.

[ ... ]

There seem to be flaws to these generally speaking.

Mm, that's right.

[actually

he pauses, considering something]

Do you have to do the fucking coitus with someone in order to protect them?

Yes. But that's not the flaw.

[there's just a laugh at that]

Mm, it is rather fun at times.

[HE ACCEPTS IT]

But unfortunately the timing of everything is unwieldy. There are too many unknowns, and one must merely hope that luck will prevail.

[ the point

hige's head.

but to be fair, shiraishi just laughs. ]

Oh, it could be a flaw. Depending on if the person I thought I should protect refused, I'd just end up protecting someone else. But no, there are others.

[ hmmm. ] At least it's something.

Hmm... May I ask who gave you this ability? The resurrected? Or was it something you knew as soon as you arrived?

I don't know who gave me it, precisely. But I wasn't told about it immediately.

Oh? Do you simply receive instructions on how to use it and then complete it?

In a way.

[ hmm, hmm. ]

By letter? Or by hearing?

[he points to his ear - like it helps.]

In person!

[ hm?? ]

Ehh? With the resurrected? Or something else?

With one of them, at least. Who has no say over how or who I end up protecting.

[there's just a soft laugh at that]

You wouldn't happen to take requests, would you?

Suggest, if you like. I can’t guarantee it’ll work out.

[there's just a shake of his head at that]

I only selfishly wish to protect my brother in the avenues made available to me.

If you need me to be in your debt temporarily in order to secure that - I will accept it.

If you’re eager to be in my debt for protecting him, then don’t worry — you already are.

[ ... ]

I won’t promise you. Someone else is offering some suggestions too, so until I hear from them making promises would be premature.

[ . . . there's just a soft little laugh at that]

You cannot protect someone two weeks in a row, and you cannot show an obvious bias by protecting the same person multiple times, isn't it?

How recently did you protect him?

There's nothing saying I can't show bias. But we might have higher chances of protection if it's spread around.

The week after the first "proper" death -- not when our host graciously revived themselves. If the demon was going to try and take down anyone, I would have thought it would be the person who tried attacking it.

[there's a soft hum at that]

I suppose so...

Well, you have my gratitude for looking after him. If there is anything else you might desire, I will do my best to answer it.
