That was the time.
That's when I thought, ahh, this girl is so kind.
...You mean that time we were talking over sake?
That was just babbling.
My, is that so?
Despite the fact that you were trying to save the children at the Children's Limbo?
An everyday ferrier who's kind to humans... that's not very shinigami-like at all.
...Not shinigami-like, you've not even met any other shinigamis before.
While I may not have seen any other shinigamis, I'm well aware that there isn't any shinigami that seems like a human just like you. Even so much as you get the Enma angry.
But both ways,
I really like the Komachi who's very human-like.
Though you may not feel the same way.
...Yeah, I feel the complete opposite.
Telling me that I'm 'human-like', turning it another way, makes it sound like you're telling me to stop being a shinigami.
I never said you should stop...
But... there're times when it's painful for you, right?
...So I think it'll be better if you stopped doing this work.
...That kindness shouldn't weaken the heart of a shinigami who ferries people to the other side, right?
Hey, isn't this work hard?
So... if it's painful for you, you could change your work within Eiki's station, and do paperwork inste--
Shut up.
*swoosh*
*swip*
...Komachi?
...Why do you think that?
...Hey, Reimu.
You think a human like you... can lecture a shinigami?
...If you're going to be any more of a busybody, my hand's going to move behind you.
...And then you'd be 'mistakenly' dumped into the river.
...Cuz it looks like big sis is really hurting.
...I don't recall asking you for any advice about this situation.
I won't be able to restrain myself anymore if you keep going on and on about it as you like.
...I'm really sorry.
I greatly apologize for ruining your mood. ---but...
...Reimu. There won't be a second time.
If you want to go to Higan properly, watch your mouth.
...Shinigami don't think about pain.
...I've been doing this since before you were born.
I don't want or need to be lectured by humans who know nothing about my work, only living for decades.
...What you said earlier about me being human-like, that's just your own opinion.
You just mistakenly thought that when I started trying to get along with you all.
Really?
...But, even that will end soon.
...It isn't proper for a normal shinigami to get close to living things.
Rather than associate with you all,
It'd be for the best if I go back to being a normal shinigami.
...Yeah. But more importantly, think more about your own matters.
......I'm sure your next life will be a good one.
--Now, look over there.
It looks like we're about to reach our destination soon.
