"The only thing that would make it easier is the guarantee I can stay here as a shinki."

Ginia knows this isn't her world. She's from Earth as much as she can tell, but it's not this one. So she really doesn't belong here, not in a temple of old shinki where she could cause any of them to fall if she's careless with what she says.

But dammit, they're her family. She wants to stay with them because she has enough memories to know she'd lose everything leaving. Even becoming a god would change things too much.

Is that sad to say? To want to remain a shinki when it causes so much pain to others? When she's accepting a life of servitude?

Ginia gives a slight smile back and raises the other half of the macaron.

"Hibiki sure puts on great parties."
