Severa, I wanted to let you know that I have taken actions against Dio. He has pledged not to retaliate against any of his victims, but I don't imagine that that word will mean very much.
Should you have any further difficulty with him at all, please do let me know.
I didn't expect the voice of one person so new here to carry such immediate weight. Thank you for proving me wrong, and proving your dedication to justice.
I've dedicated my life to the protection of humans. I could not live with myself if I gave that up. I cannot guarantee that he won't be a problem again, but I will do everything I can to fight him, if necessary.
Tachibana is good! Helping with the aquaduct project!
But Tachibana let you believe something that wasn't true, and may continue letting other people believe it, at least until it's no longer possible. So maybe it's part apology and part request.
It's just that Tachibana is a girl. But Tachibana was letting people believe she was a boy at home too, for other reasons, and here with some people talking about girls in certain ways, Tachibana isn't sure yet about letting everyone know.
But what you said before, about not doing that kind of thing with men, I thought maybe even though someone else helped Tachibana once, we could help each other sometime too?
I see. That actually explains a lot. In that case, I definitely wouldn't have a problem helping you survive. I could get used to having you around the fortress, Tachibana. ;)
I guess you want me to still call you a man with other people?
Would it be okay to do that for just a little while?
Tachibana isn't stupid. It can't stay a secret forever with the nature of this place, but Tachibana wants to get comfortable first. There were several things said that were kind of scary, about women and how few were here, and how valuable that made them. And Tachibana doesn't want to be some kind of commodity, especially with also being inexperienced.
This man who called you fresh meat. Was he tall, muscular, blond? Entirely full of himself? It scarcely matters if he was or wasn't, because we are not things to be bought and sold for sex. But I may already have some recourse for this if it's who I think it was.
The boy who wants to buy and sell was new, so Tachibana is hoping that he's just confused himself as to what to do. I spoke to him firmly at the time, but would like to give him another chance.
The other man, that is him. But he also walked around with Tachibana and gave a tour of the town, so judging him harshly for words would feel strange. Please don't feel a need to do anything on Tachibana's account.
The first one may be worth a second chance, but Dio has burned through enough. Listen to me, Tachibana. Dio is dangerous. He is deadly, with strength and abilities to match a god, and he does not die. I wish I could say I only have his words to judge him on, but he has done unforgivable things.
If you want to keep talking with him, I can't stop you. But be careful.
[ That catches her off guard, and it takes a moment to respond. She's kind of grateful it's text. The fact that not everyone here is human is something that she's learned by now, but hearing someone referring to as matching a god and unable to die is something else. More importantly, someone who is evil and matches that description. ]
Tachibana has no desire to be involved with those who do evil, unless Tachibana can do something to protect others from them, or stop them. Don't worry. Thank you for the warning.
