So Kosuzu never entertained the thought of extending Akyuu's life? Or living long enough to meet her next reincarnation?
She probably *has,* but as she said, she couldn't bring herself to kill someone for it. It probably came up like "I wonder what could keep Akyuu alive longer" and then ran through a list a possibilties, ruling out several, one of them being mermaid flesh and the appropriate response to herself being "but I don't think I can live with myself for killing someone, let alone having the stomach to do it."
You mean with, like... ink and stuff...?Fish... print...?YES, WITH INK AND STUFF!!I always find myself staring at this print I got some time ago.
If I could hang up the print of an actual mermaid next to it, how magnificent would that be?
Kosuzu! Come eat at the table!!
Ever since I found out about Wakasagihime-san, I couldn't get the thought out of my head!Mermaid flesh...?
Oh, the stuff said to make you immortal?God, you're a real piece of work!Aw, heck no! I couldn't kill someone based on some fairytale like that!Oh, this? Just self-defense.
We are outside the Village, after all.So what's that knife for, then?Whaaat~? Mermaid print, she says~!...So it's not mermaid flesh you want...?
