Does anyone know what the best way to get a gun would be? I suppose I could simply steal one from the Near Shore, but it doesn't seem right.

If anyone is willing and able to provide a gun, I can pay you in good fortune of some sort; I have some control over that as a god. I don't really have much money here in the Far Shore, even if I was rich while I was alive...

Ah, did I make you angry? You're suddenly much more foul-mouthed than before...

Also, I don't deserve the shinki I already have. He's always worrying about me, and I cause him far too much trouble...and he's at risk being around me, too. I can hardly inflict myself on anyone else in good conscience!

Anyway, isn't it a little worrying to have to rely entirely on our shinki? To depend so thoroughly on the presence of other people? Especially when people randomly disappear from the heavens all the time...I admit I'm mainly doing this so Garry won't have to worry as much, rather than because I'm worried about what might happen to me, but I do have to say that for a worthless person like myself, feeling helpless, too...it's a little too much. I'd like to be able to do at least a little without having to rely on other people.

Besides, I've never really been able to rely on other people being there anyway. Even if they have the best intentions to stick around, my luck tends to remove them.

Angry at you? Not especially. I'm just not particularly convinced that guns aren't more trouble than they're worth, and ayakashi are a nuisance.

I doubt there are any gods out there who really deserve our shinki, least of all anyone who takes for grated that they deserve them. It's good that you're taking your commitment to that shinki seriously, but it's not going to do him any good to run away from having to rely on people. If either of you is going to stay safe from ayakashi, you're going to need each other, and avoiding that won't actually make anything easier on you.

Well, all weapons can certainly be troublesome, especially depending on the hands that they're in. But I'm not saying that guns are a great solution in all situations or anything, after all! I'm just saying like they seem like the best possible solution to my situation, which is pretty unusual in any case.

That said, I wouldn't say we're avoiding relying on each other...if anything, I rely on him too much as it is, which is why I wanted to take the initiative to be able to handle some things without his help. And, of course, after what happened with the forest, having a backup plan if my shinki is unavailable now seems a lot more important than it did before.
