I understand a shinki is a weapon for their god. Are there other responsibilities included with that title?

How can I be more useful to my god?

["How else can I protect him?" is really what she means.]

Kindness.

[Souji was kind to her when she first arrived, and now she wants to be as useful as she can be for him.]

[candyconsumption]

But kindness doesn't come from nowhere.
If you don't care about someone
there is no reason to be kind. Or, alternatively
If one doesn't care for people as a whole
They are incapable of kindness.
So once again--
A form of love is important. Any form.

[timeshields]

He was kind to me when we first met. He had no reason to be.

[candyconsumption]

Let me reiterate.
If one cares for people
They will show kindness to those they meet
regardless of what that may or may not have done.
Only a person who hosts love in their hearts
is capable of such a thing.
Kindness is a special quality.
...Do you understand?

[timeshields]

I do. I'm lucky to be assigned with my god.

[candyconsumption]

I also think...
They will be lucky to have you, as well.
Your name is Akemi-chan?

[timeshields]

I hope he thinks so.

That is correct.

[candyconsumption]

Akemi-chan, then.
My name is Itachi.

[timeshields]

Just one name?
Thank you for your input, Itachi-san.

[candyconsumption]

It's Uchiha Itachi. However...
For an unknown reason, I dislike the name.
It must be something I am unable to remember.
...Itachi-san is fine.
You're very welcome.

[timeshields]

Do you ever wish you could remember?

It hasn't been that long for me, but I don't think I would want to.

[candyconsumption]

...No. If only because
I don't know what would await me.
But here, I can control what I do now.
My new god is kind to me.

[timeshields]

The unknown is unnerving.

Maybe it's best we don't have memories.

[candyconsumption]

It is.

I agree. It's better to ensure the creation
of good memories than to dredge up the
old ones and find the unsavory.

[ He doesn't know who she is but he likes her already. ]

[timeshields]

Maybe I can create some with my god.

[Maybe that's something she likes.]

[candyconsumption]

That's what I plan to do as well.
I think that's a good idea, Akemi-chan.
