Does it show? [He laughs cheerfully.] I've been a shinigami with the Summons division since the 1920s! I mean, it's different -- we're human souls chosen for our abilities, so I guess you could say we're kind of like Enma's shinki...!

[That's a funny thought. Of course, it's not like Enma turned them into weapons, or lions, or little protective charms. These gods work by slightly different rules.]

Which makes this a big promotion. [He bows, and, half-joking, adds:] Sorry for all the trouble! Do you get batches of new gods often, or is this a new thing?
