I've been training to learn the Song to Ward off Lightning spell. I believe I have mastered singing the song properly.

I'm seeking people who can use and control lightning spells to help me test it out. In return, I can owe you a favour or cook something.

I'm know that people are probably still recovering from the volcano problem the other day. If anyone's interested, we can arrange a time and place later.

Is that why?

( It.... sounds fair enough but she knows Yamanbagiri well enough to know there's more to it. Even if they're different, they have similar enough anxieties. He's... doing this so he can feel useful, isn't he? )

I think it's wonderful that you're learning but I'm curious; what are you planning to do now?

( It's rhetorical. She knows exactly what he's planning on doing. )

[replicatedform]

Yes.

[He needs more than just his borderlines, and his sword... he can't use it against the ayakashi, which dig deep into him more than he thought.

... He knows that once he types it out, his plan will look really ridiculous and reckless in plain text form.]

Since I can sing it properly, I'm hoping to find someone who can control lightning. I'm going to test out the spell and see if I can really ward off lightning.

[Seeing is believing. His song spell might sound right to his ears, but he need to see real results.]

[festal]

( It does sound ridiculous, especially when it's like this. )

Do you truly think you'll be okay?

[replicatedform]

[For the briefest of moment, there's a spark of doubt and guilt.]

Yes. I'm asking for people who can control lightning, so I can ask them not to do it too strongly.

[Well, he knows people can have different views of what's "strong". But he's hoping to avoid "unable to move" or "close to death".]

[festal]

Even so, isn't lightning powerful just by it's very nature? I've never heard of weak lightning...

I'd like to be there.

( And a moment later, )

For you.

[replicatedform]

[Honestly, he would appreciate that.]

I'd like that. I'm sorry for making you worry about this, but I'll be grateful if you're around.

I'd be more worried if you hadn't told me at all. Next time, please, tell me, Yamanbagiri-san.
