[You're such a precious bean, Justice]

Indulgence...I'm following Indulgence right now, but I'd like to know what he thought about that.

[divus]

...I don't really know what he thought. I, I mean, he's not the kind of person who's interested in violence, I don't think...but...

[That said.]

He voted on the side in favor of killing being allowed.

[sleepingkogoro]

[Mouri immediately frowns. Figures. He's clearly not pleased with Indulgence taking that side, that's for sure]

I see. Thank you.

[He sticks his hands in his pockets]

I wasn't sure he'd tell me if I asked him directly, in case he did vote for that. Not that I have even said a word to him before...

[divus]

Y-You haven't? You should probably talk to him at least once!

[Justice sounds concerned! Mouri!!!]

But you're welcome. I'm happy to help. D...do you have any other questions?

[sleepingkogoro]

Look, I don't trust most of you and I'm kind of sure that's not going to change if I talk to Indulgence.

[He already has his bias and he doesn't feel like trying to fight them, really.

Hm. Okay, how to ask this...]

...actually yes. Mind if I jump ships to your side?

[He figures it's courteous to at least notify Justice about his intention to defect to that alignment]

[divus]

Y...you'd want to be on my team?

[The small god looks...what must be happy and shocked, judging by their stance, if not their expression.]

That would be amazing! I'd be so happy!

[sleepingkogoro]

Sure! You're the one who actually would be a positive influence in a new world...or whatever it's you'll have to do in the end.

[Justice and Piety would be the best ones, from what he has heard. But Mouri isn't really a pious person in any way so, and he's far more admiring of justice, so to him the choice is clear]

[divus]

Thank you s-so much! I won't let you down, I promise!

[Justice absolutely begins to jump up and down in excitement, giggling.]

I can't...can't believe it! I'm really getting more followers! The world is going to be so...it's going to be amazing!

[sleepingkogoro]

What are the rest going to do while you rule the world, anyway?

[Ganbatte, Justice, ganbatte]

[divus]

They're going to help me make the world a better place! They'll all still be there, just...just they have to listen to me instead of pushing me around or not taking me seriously...

[sleepingkogoro]

They don't take you seriously? Really?

[Mouri, don't act like you take seriously the kid you take care of back at home]

[divus]

Yeah...it...it's because I get so scared so easily.

[And is, you know, ten.]

But I'm working on being brave! I'm getting better!

[sleepingkogoro]

That's called growing up, Justice. You'll get better at not being scared once you have a few more years on you.

[...waaaaaait...how old were you, again? Ten or maybe "ten" because god?]

Or not. I sure don't know how getting older as a god is like.

[divus]

Well, I'll always look the same age--I won't be able to change that. B-But you're right, I'll keep learning!

[Justice pumps his fists in triumph.]

I'm already learning so much from all of you every single day!

[sleepingkogoro]

[Oooooh that's a reason to be worried. This is a wacky group and therefore not a good influence, haha]

What have you learned from us?

[Last time he asked someone what they learned it was about cats using paintbrushes with their mouths. Nonsense!]

[divus]

I've learned friendship, and how...a family can be something that you find with other people. And I've learned that sometimes just because things are bad, that does't mean that things aren't also good.

[Justice puts his hands on the sides of his head.]

Things like that!

[sleepingkogoro]

...that's better than I expected. You keep doing that.

[Mouri is rather relieved he's learning stuff that's actually constructive. Justice will be okay]

I should be leaving now. Good luck, Justice.
