Agreed. This is a rather nice change of pace. A nice dose of Ichirin x Murasa for the lover's soul.
.... Have I...? Isn't it just your imagination?...and you're really huge now, Ichirin...I-I can't! It's because of me, isn't it!?.... They say it a lot, don't they?...when you amass heavy, dark, wet thoughts...like worry and anxiety......and I grow smaller by the same amount..... After all, that's my original role......huh? Murasa, have you...Wow, you're right.... Sorry, Ichirin......? Why apologize to me?Ichirin's a Great, Dark Cloud of WorryNo, it's not......if she gets chased out...or at worst......gotten smaller?As I get smaller, bit by bit, you get bigger......i-if she gets killed, what will we do then...?...don't struggle on, don't bear it all yourself. Let it wash down....I won't be able to stand eye to eye with you.Wondering whether Byakuren and everyone...are going to make it here okay...Just try and calm your mind for now.I don't understand!...and now you're going to disappear all of a sudden...I don't understand!You're a cloud in the sky, I'm the ocean....... Wow, you're right...Anyone looking at you would say so....... Come on, Ichirin, haven't there been any...bad or worrisome things troubling you recently?Eh...? H-how did you know...?You're just saying whatever...And in fact, you're the cause...After all, we're outsiders...and if Byakuren gets sealed again...You're even smaller than you were just a minute ago!But why...?!.... Now, don't get worked up....you grow bigger and darker, like a cloud....... It's the role of the sea to receive it...But...all that...is all my fault...!All I talk about is what worries me....... I don't really mind.Such as...?B-...but why? You won't even explain.... What? What am I doing wrong!?...eh?It's a captain's duty to anchor her crew, isn't it? Originally, punning "anger" and "anchor", both pronounced "ikari"....huh? I am...?Oh, never mind that...so there IS something, is there?They maintain equilibrium in mutual size...so....... So, Ichirin, when you become unable to carry all your anxiety...Because if you do...no, if you don't do that......but....... Well, a lot of stuff...anxieties about the future and things....... What the—Murasa!.... Awww, man...this isn't good.... I may vanish away entirely...Sky and sea can never meet...they are only linked by the rain.I'm the only one complaining...
