nine ✤ text

You may have noticed some abnormal behavior regarding the Door. Normally it doesn't bring in anything so large, and we did not expect it to do so this time. Delight and I have been attempting to alter the Door to send you home, as you have so often requested, but as I have said again and again, we have very little knowledge in this area. We will try again.

My appreciation for those who slew the dragons. We did not intend on their arrival, and I would be willing to grant you a favor in return for your efforts - if it's within my power, and not too foolish.

I suppose we are. It would be difficult to start afresh if you were all eaten.

It would be easier to start afresh by sending us all home?

It would be easiest to simply keep you until we are done with you, but few of you want that.

[ Statements like that make it hard to buy the whole "we didn't mean it." ]

Weirdly, people object to being imprisoned away from home and used as batteries.

[ That's the sum of it, right? At least it isn't Kurotsuchi's spy bacteria in his body, but... ]

It would be a punishable human rights violation, doing that sort of thing.

In general, we are not particularly concerned with 'human rights'.

I'm noticing that. Everything's fine if you've got the power?

That is a rather uncharitable interpretation.

From the guy who just dismissed human rights. What interpretation would you prefer?

We are not humans. It would be foolish to assume we share the same understanding of what you mean by human rights.

You gods aren't stupid, right? It's a self-evident concept. You don't have to be human. Would you like it if you were yanked out of here, stuck in some other world, and subjected to random circumstances to produce emotional responses?

We are all well aware that you do not like it.

It's not just about liking it. It's the principle!

What sort of response are you hoping for here?

[ Good question. ]

Something more than I'm getting.

Then I believe you are destined to be disappointed.
