Chapter 3

 Episode 3: Confront What Must Be Done 

Unei: Y-you can't do that, (name)-san. I'll be fine.

Unei: If Kei-san finds out that you helped me, I'll get scolded.

You: But you seem so busy. I really want to help! 

Sin: What's all the ruckus?

Unei: I-it's nothing, sorry!

Sin: Offering an apology unprompted is equivalent to concealing one's transgression. Answer the question. 

You: S-sorry, I didn't mean to cause a fuss.

Sin: ...Identify yourself.

You: U-um, I'm (name)!

Sin: ...I'm Sin. I see, you're that woman...

You: (He's so imposing!)

Takami: You're scaring her, Sin. You should be gentler when meeting someone for the first time.

Sin: Hmmph... There is no such law in my books. It would be more appropriate for you.

Takami: My Apologies, then.

Takami: Hello, my names is Takami. Nice to meet you, (name).

You: Ah, nice to meet you too.

Takami: I'm new here. I joined for the reopening.

Takami: Sin's been here more or less since the start.

Sin: ..What do you mean by that?

Sin: It matters not when someone arrived. The task at hand is the same.

Sin: Humans live and die. That is all.

Takami: Haha, indeed.

Unei: That's deep...

Sin: So, what were you quarreling over?

Unei: Um, she offered to help with my work, but I declined because it wouldn't end well.

Sin: ...What are you saying? It's not as though your soul is polluted.

Unei: M-my soul...? It's not, but...

Takami: Hm, leaving that matter aside, it's true that Kei would scold you for that.

Takami: However, he wouldn't be pleased to see you reject her good will either.

Sin: ...Takami. Don't trifle with him.

Takami: I wouldn't dream of it. I was just bringing up a possible outcome. 

Takami: Sorry about that, Unei-kun. Let me help you to make up for it. 

Unei: Huh? You don't mind?

Takami: Of course. What about you, Sin?

Sin: ...I do not think the stars call for it.

Takami: All right. See you later then.

Sin: ...Yes. *leaves*

Unei: Phew, that was nerve-racking. Sin-san has such a commanding aura. 

Takami: He's actually surprisingly friendly. Try talking to him sometime. 

Takami: (name) might be able to get quite a few stories out of him.

You: What kind of stories?

Takami: You'll have to ask him to find out.
