I have a question for the shinki among us.

How important to you is your connection to your god?

If you could go without a name, and not worry about your safety or a place to stay, would you prefer to?

But still asking about it.

The former god is still here?

Depends on the God's approach I suppose.

I don't like belonging to anyone much less be bound to them. My answer would be yes. I would much prefer not being tied down to any God without having to question my own safety.

[Hm. Point taken. A pause on Sanji's end]

Thank you. [He takes a lot of pride in that work ethic.]

...I won't say that a cruel god would be better than no god. I'm sure there have been gods who behaved no better than evil spirits themselves. It does matter.

But if I found myself without a god, I would seek one out. One I could comfortably work with.

Pretty much. Can't be a good shinki if my god is a piece of shit.

I...don't know. I like my god, and he cares about my welfare.

While it would be nice to have security, I wouldn't know what I'd do with myself. And I still don't know who I am. I might not find out in an ordinary life.

Both.
And I was afraid for my friends too! Because sometimes bad things happen and they'd go to help but I wouldn't be able to do anything...
But! I think even if I didn't have to worry about that... I'd still want to be with a good god.
I want to help a lot of people.
And the best way for someone like me to help is with someone who wantsme too.

Good day to you.

To your first question: my connection with my god is the most precious treasure I have right now. I've been more fortunate than most. My god shares the same values as I do, and tries very hard to uphold the duties and responsibilities expected of a god. That's the kind of god that I'm proud to guide and serve. And I've been treated kindly by my god, and with respect.

To your second question: no. As a shinki I have powers that can help protect the living, but killing ayakashi requires a god. It would be irresponsible and selfish to turn my back on the Near Shore, not when I can do more. And having a god to guide and assist gives me meaningful purpose; I'm not a person that's satisfied to simply live without striving towards a greater good.

Then I don't see why it matters what the former god would think.

[Well. Blunt, at least.]

...Should I give a more indepth answer?

You're welcome. I'm glad I could be of assistance.

My god is my reason for being.

I wouldn't give up my name.

I see. So that's why you're going to this much trouble?
