[The cube is sold at "yes". Its surface flickers brightly, a pair of triangular ears and a face forming on it to help properly convey its gratitude. The cube jitters and attempts to rub up against the side of Necronomicon like a cat, if cats were cube-shaped and could fly. It's an action that could easily be read as pure affection, but the way the cube is shaking and frantically generating more text on the screen suggests that it may not entirely be a positive display.]
RESPONSE I ATTEMPTED TO CONTACT MASTER BUT THERE IS TOO MUCH INTERFERENCE! HE PREDICTED THAT OUTSIDE CONTACT MAY NOT BE POSSIBLE AT HIS CURRENT LOCATION BUT AYAKASHI ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO APPEAR AND THERE ARE IRREGULAR ENERGY LEVELS IN THE TEMPLE AND RIN IS NOT RESPONDING AND I DID NOT RECEIVE ANY EMERGENCY PROTOCOLS TO FOLLOW IF SOMETHING OF THIS NATURE OCCURRED! MASTER WOULD HAVE TOLD ME IF HE KNEW THIS COULD HAPPEN AND IF SOMETHING HAPPENED THAT HE DIDN'T PREDICT HE COULD BE IN DANGER! I DON'T WANT MY MASTER TO GET HURT AGAIN PLEASE HELP ME REACH HIM AND CONFIRM HE IS SAFE AND OKAY!!!
[... it's more like panic mode. It seems like even AIs aren't safe from the effects of the corrupt energy, or maybe it really is that worried.
Meanwhile, Archer's attacks land true, and after the holy water comes down the ayakashi are finally starting to back off. They snarl, pacing and watching him from a fair distance away... but they're too persistent to simply accept defeat and run away. One of the beasts raises its head and howls.
It won't be long now before the rest of the ayakashi in the illusion start pouring in. At least he's doing a good job at keeping them distracted.]
