[Did he catch him? Admittedly, Senkimaru has already seen crazier things here than himself, but his doubt in other people was still big.]

Am I? Who knows. [Though he raises an eyebrow.] What are the ones who want to be voted by you doing to you?

So you want to work until you have something to offer to them. I guess that's not that bad of a plan. Though if you manage that they might just try to capture you and use you.

Lying about it, huh? [He liked that possibility. That meant the others were somewhat safe, at least.]

[Oh are we playing the ignorance game? That's fine. William won't pry. Too much.]

They're annoying. They come into school and play about all day. And they are pushy, even though I was perfectly clear about the fact that I would not vote for any of them.

Though, at least they have some interest in keeping me safe. It's other demons that have tried to kill me. Some of them hate Solomon very much. Otherwise just want me to vote for the right party and are... forceful.

[Forceful as in trying to steal his soul.]

...I would hope that is not the case. But then again, I will admit, I need to gather a little more data before my plans become concrete.

It is one possibility. Probably the best one. Though the grimest answer isn't one I can dismiss out of hand, we can't prove that either.

[He just can't trust people easily. Unless you let him see into the sea of your soul, and Senkimaru doesn't do that on normal occasions. No hard feelings man.]

Would they have more success if they were less pushy?

Sounds kinda unwarranted when you have almost nothing to do with the guy. [Then again, in his own case they had feared he was the second coming of Shutendouji, though at least they didn't try to kill him for it in his case.]

You sound really down to earth. I bet you couldn't believe it the first time you came in contact with demons, huh?

No they would not. I will not vote for anyone and that is final. The politics of Hell have nothing to do with me.

[Some of it was pure stubbornness. But otherwise, in his mind, how could he fairly vote for the ruler of Hell? He, a mere human who knew nothing of it's workings?]

It is! It completely is! And the one time I spoke with him, Solomon was no help at all!

[He blinked a little then. No one had ever quite... said that of him. Arrogant? Cold? Smart? Poor? Sure. But down to earth?]

No. I still don't. And I... admittedly chose to believe they were lying for a long time. But, when they keep popping up in my face like that, it becomes hard to. Besides, anything can be explained by science, so if I just look at it that way, it's perfectly acceptable that demons exist.

Well, you could also just give a random demon a vote, perhaps they'll leave you alone afterwards.

[In a way, wasn't he thinking too much about this? Perhaps they would relax afterwards and really leave him be.]

Isn't that guy dead already? How did you speak to him?

[Granted, for reasons stated above, he couldn't really see him as cold. More like he was trying to handle those crazy situations in a fairly reasonable manner.]

Is it hard for you if things are unreasonable?

...that would be equally foolish though. Just mindlessly casting a vote without fully understanding their positions fully.

[Yes over thinking it a bit and also refusing to deal with the problem. That and well, he actually likes the jerks despite what he says.]

...it was a unique situation.

[He's going to avoid talking about bearing Solomon's soul at all. Because this is a chance for a new start. To not deal with being Solomon. Only Kevin needs to know about it.]

...of course. I am a realist.

That's not your problem, though. It's theirs if the place they live in gets messed up.

[That's how the demons treat things, usually, unless it becomes a problem for them. Ignore and forget about those in need and just stay save themselves.]

No doubt. If I met that someone from the past who is connected to my current fate, I wouldn't know how I would react.

[It... was really best not to think about it.]

Regardless, I have said I will not choose and I mean it. Let them figure it out for themselves.

[He grimaced just thinking about it. Honestly, it was bad enough to remember things from Solomon's past.]

Well, your fate is your own, regardless of what people tell you. Granted, when I mean fate, it's only a figure of speech.

[He heard one of the camera men call out, waving at them.]

Hmmm, it seems like they're done with us for now.

[Senkimaru is actually a bit amused by this.]

I'm not sure if you're just a worry-wart or simply too nice, but you have given way too much thought into that.

[He'd probably call him stupid as well, but William has shown already that he's actually pretty far away from that.]

As the head of a clan, I can't really agree with that. My fate isn't just my own. What I do and what my ancestors have done will affect a lot of people.

[Senkimaru sighs.

Good. How they went from this photoshoot to such discussions was beyond him, but it kinda happened.]

And? Are you going to get your money now?

It isn't being nice, but sticking to my principals.

[He doesn't see what's so amusing, but whatever.]

...well leadership is a bit different, but you should still have some bit of your life to yourself.

[William doesn't know how this conversation happened either. It's actually fairly successful by normal standards.]

I think so. I should also find my butler and see what he's up to. I suspect some ladies might be terrorizing him.
