If I end up blighted from touching an ayakashi, is there a way to get rid of the blight?

Sorry for any trouble.

The question you asked was an important one, and not covered in that post.

[fullcowl]

It does say that mild blight can be cured by water from a shrine. Though it doesn't specify ayakashi blight.

[scrap_metal]

It seems to focus on general information, rather than specifics

[ which makes it a useful entry-level info dump ]

[fullcowl]

It's definitely a useful overview. It seems a lot more focused on what Shinki do.

[scrap_metal]

Why they don't provide all that info on the beginning is beyond me

[ almighty heavens like to see everyone scramble and figure it out by themselves? ]

[fullcowl]

I wish I had the answer to that.

But they also made us give out Ayakashi infused chocolate, so they're clearly not infallible.

[scrap_metal]

Wait. What do you mean by that?

[ he missed the memo on ayakashi being directly caused by the chocolates. Though he did suspect they at least attracted them. ]

[fullcowl]

It seems like anyone who ate the chocolate had an Ayakashi following them around- or they'd have the weird black ones that went after us.

It was definitely the chocolate that we gave out.

Is this a part of this shinki deal? I didn't sign for trying to get people killed.

[fullcowl]

I don't think so.

But I also don't know why they'd make us give out dangerous chocolate like that. There's the option that this was supposed to be a test, or maybe they didn't know how dangerous they would be. You'd think that before they ask us to give out candy they would check it for potential danger. Maybe they're lacking safety control?

[scrap_metal]

That's a lot of 'maybe'. Either way, it's a sabotage, we just don't know from which side.

[ He can get angry and frustrated all he wants, but the truth is he's too new and too inexperienced to fully grasp the situation. ]

[fullcowl]

I got here today. I don't have enough information to formulate anything concrete.

[scrap_metal]

So did I.

It's either Heavens that placed the ayakashi in the chocolate on purpose, or it's the ayakashi that somehow managed to sneak into them themselves. Both counts as sabotage, just directed at different sides. Either we were the targets, or the higher-ups

What other possibility is there? Aside from the "ayakashi were attracted TO the chocolates, not IN them". Because this version seems to be already ruled out.

No matter who wanted sabotage who, for whatever reason there is, human were lives endangered. If this was supposed to be a test, even a failed one - because the ayakashi turned out to be more dangerous than expected - the aftermath proves someone can't do their job right. Because it's the living who are the victims in either scenario.

[ Genos gets... wordy and repetitive at times. Congratulations you've just received his first wall-of-text ]

[fullcowl]

[He doesn't mind wordiness, but man that was more repetitive than he could have ever expected.]

Whatever the case, it's our responsibility to make sure that the ayakashi don't hurt anyone now that the chocolates are out.

I'm going to get rid of my blight and get back out there.

[scrap_metal]

Agreed. That's a good plan.
