Ha ha, I suppose that's true, at least. ["At least he's useful"... yes, that's really about all that can be said for the soulless shinki. It's a shame. Banri might not deserve much better, but Hakkai can't say the same for any of the other shinki who've been left nearly mindless by whatever affected them.

He doesn't hear it as a jab; they'd certainly fought, but not because either of them were useless. His gaze lingers for a moment on the cat sprawling comfortably on his back, shamelessly soaking up the attention, and the lines around his eyes deepen with affection. Yes, Kishi and Musha will enjoy spending more time with her -- and he thinks she'll benefit from it, too.]

We're managing. I suspect Chikusa steals most of the groceries he gets, of course.
