"I'm amused."
Kamiyagawa heaved a sigh of relief, it seemed Hachisaku-sama was ready to converse again.
...
Hachisaku-sama: "Yukino said, Mr. Exorcist, that your trip to Oguri Island is to deal with Lord Hemitrygon."
Kamiyagawa: "Yes."
"Oh? Can you tell me why? Is it for justice?"
"I need a certain material from Hemitrygon."
This time, Kamiya chose to reveal the true purpose of his visit.
To claim that he came for justice would be overly righteous.
Hachisaku-sama might not believe that.
Kamiya's actual intention for this meeting with Hachisaku-sama was to form an alliance with her, preferably to confront Hemitrygon together.
Speaking plainly about benefiting from the situation made his act of hunting Hemitrygon more persuasive.
After all, alliances have always been built on mutual interests.
"That explains it." Hachisaku-sama's eyes sparkled with a smile, "Mr. Exorcist, are you asking for my assistance in your fight against Hemitrygon? I can do that."
"Eh, eh, eh?"
