There's no holding back against a fellow youkai.
Dream selves have no such concerns either.Back then, I bothered to help because the situation was inconvenient for me.
I didn't do it to help you, but because I would've had trouble if I didn't.People tried not to kill you because you're human.Youkai are capricious beings.
That's why our feeling of fellowship is weak.After all, in this place, even if they disappear, they'll be born again when they dream.Even if we have hierarchies or cooperation, we're still solitary by nature.
That means nobody will come help you....That's what becoming a youkai means.Not to mention that you're a friend of the shrine maiden's. You wouldn't want to make her mad, would you?
