All's well that ends well

[ So you've wished the dead back to life, but there's still 2 wishes you have to make. Ultimately what happens from here is entirely in your hands, but for the first time in eight weeks everyone is alive and whole again (even that pesky merman). There is that corruption you should deal with, but surely you know what to do about that.

Once you've settled and wound down a bit, maybe you should relax a bit before going your separate ways. You've earned it.

I certainly cannot blame you for that. I'm looking forward to only having men and demons to contend with when I return home - I know how to handle them.

[pseudoregelia]

I only have humans to worry about at home, from now on. [Not working with that guy ever again, bye Kiyotaka.] What is it like working with demons, though?

[deontological]

[byeeee kiyotaka]

I find it easier than working with humans, to be quite honest. But people tend to have an easier time working with their own kind.

[pseudoregelia]

Is it common to have to meet with them...?

[deontological]

In my line of work, yes. It is. [She smiles faintly.] Other demons tend to live in seclusion, when they can, but... my clan has rather close ties to the Imperial Court.

[pseudoregelia]

I'm not affiliated with any particular organization... Your resources must really be something.

[Although her own network is nothing to sneeze at, either.]

[deontological]

My clan has had many generations to build it up. [She smiles.] There is very little that occurs in the country that I don't hear about.

[which was why the lack of knowing here bothered her so much tbh]

[pseudoregelia]

Amazing...

My work is often international, so there's many details I have to begin collecting upon arrival. It sounds like a very different beast.

[deontological]

That does seem to be the case - but judging by your actions here, I would say that you do a phenomenal job gathering information wherever you end up.

[pseudoregelia]

It would be embarrassing if I wasn't able to do my job when it mattered most, don't you think?

[deontological]

Ah... that's true. [She giggles.] I doubt you will ever have to face that sort of embarrassment, however.

[pseudoregelia]

I do have a reputation to keep.

[It's accompanied by a laugh. Yeah, right. But the laughter fades quickly enough.]

So this is it, huh?

The real goodbye.
