[Hello, SQH! Ion is in the chapel, enjoying the very last day of his wing. He has the sunflower that was sent to him held in his hands, and smiles widely.]
It's so good to see you again! Welcome! Please, tell me how you've been?
Well, I have to admit I'm a little anxious. I'm afraid that if I end up with the majority, after all, it may sour the relationship that I have with Ambition.
[He brings the sunflower to his nose.]
But...it's up to the majority to decide. I can't get in the way more than I already have.
I agree. I believe that a certain amount of her lack of faith has to do with her apparent youth, but...I'm only two years old, myself, so I'm much younger than her.
[He can't help looking fond.]
But thank you so much. Both for your support and for telling me about how she took to it. I'm really so fortunate to have such incredible friends.
[With an attitude like that, Piety can pass for a beloved heroine in a standard story about love. This isn't that kind of story, though. Piety, you're in the wrong genre!
He gulps.]
I'm afraid I have more words to share. Regarding my wish for this contest . . . That is, if you happen to win tomorrow, would it be possible to revise my wish to include another person in the same predicament?
[Peerless Cucumber can nag like no one else's business, but it feels wrong to fuck off on his own and leave the guy behind.]
WEEK 7, SUNDAY
It's so good to see you again! Welcome! Please, tell me how you've been?

He rather likes the chapel, so he's glad that they're meeting here. It calms his nerves, and right now he's a ball of them.]
As you can see, I'm still in one piece. Great Piety, how do you feel about tomorrow?

I don't think that'll happen. It was Great Ambition who gave me the blessing to be your follower again next week.

[He's startled, clearly, but then his eyes soften, his expression a mixture of touched and perhaps guilty.]
She's a wonderful girl. I wish everyone could see just how deeply she cares.

[She's such a tsundere that it's painful to listen to her, sometimes.]
If she were just a little more refined in her approach, she could have won more followers over earlier.

Did he just say that he's two years old? Is this really the ideal candidate for leading a new world?
Shang Qinghua is struck speechless for all of eight seconds.
By friends, he means the rest of the gods, right?]
You don't have to thank me. You've probably realized by now that I would have gone over to any of the great gods in order to win.
no subject
[It's fine, Shang. Everything is fine!]
Just you being here right now, simply sharing with me these words...it means the world to me! I wouldn't ever dream of taking that for granted.
