Then add... Madopyon, Ogou-san, Sieg-kun, Luke-kun, and Jude-kun.
I think... they trust me enough, and it'd still mostly require Piety to be able to really convince them of his world, but I think they all want to both leave behind a good world, as well as get their wish.
It'd take a little more work, but I think I could also convince Connor-san, Mizuki-san and Guy-san. Yu-kun I would ask the people closer to him to do the convincing for me.
Mizuki-san might not trust me, but they trust my information. They seemed a little more interested in the idea of everyone defecting to one god in the name of peace toward the end when I mentioned it. I think it can happen.
I don't... think I can convince everyone that fast. There are some people that I don't have strong relationships with.
But.... I want to try. It's... It's not perfect - because I still want Cheri to win. I want Beauty to be happy. Love, Justice, Merriment, Dizzy, Bambi... All the gods matter a lot to me. But I think Piety is the way to make as many people happy as possible. I do think balance is the best option... so that's what I'll suggest.

... I have a little more time. As long as I have a little more time, I think we can do it. I know that it's not just on me - and if people end up not agreeing, we'll have to switch plans and pick someone else. But... this is at least an idea, and some things have no hope if they aren't said out loud.
[ . . . ]
I'm okay, not getting my wish. I want it. More than anything. But I'm still going home after this, and I'll still want my wish more than anything once I'm home, where I get another chance at it.
If that's a sacrifice I have to make, that's okay. I can't decide other people's sacrifices for them, but I can at least try to aim for a way so that less people have to make those sacrifices.
I am. I know I can't count on you to actively help me until I get at least a few more of these numbers secure - you, me, Ishirin-san, and Bakaomi are at least in agreement that Piety is best suited to lead. Luke-kun won't be leaving him anytime soon either, obviously.
I think I can talk to Zo... and maybe she can talk to Connor-san.
But if you can just tell people that you think Piety is the best suited to lead, that'd be enough for me.
That doesn't mean anything if we can't get people to defect to him at the end... I know 1 isn't a super exciting number right now, but I also don't want to risk anyone getting hit by Advancement Opportunity at the last stretch.
I was part of the faction that hasn't managed to ever get a single new follower. I don't know why you'd expect me to be any good at convincing people to defect.
I just figured you weren't trusting people with your alignment so you couldn't reasonably convince anyone to join you. Then Love fell out of the lead so it was even harder to make an excuse for it.
[senri shrugs]
Sasuke's only with Sincerity to help protect all of you this week anyway.
I don't think anything's going to happen to me... but if something does, that's the plan I'll have been moving toward. As long as you all know, I hope it can come true.

But if even you, me, Sasuke, Shishimaru, Ishirin-san, and Zo can all agree on someone... that's not a number to sneeze at.

I think it's smart - to not go to the god you want to win until the end. I'd... rather not think about any of you dying either.
But if it comes down to needing more numbers... do you want the list of people I think I can convince or rely on?

What's important is knowing what it is and that you can accept it.

Sure. It's not a secret that he's the favourite among the gods to win, at least.

But I'll see how he feels about his wish. If he... really changed his mind about it, I don't know if I'll be able to get him to go to Piety.
[ . . . he sighs quietly]
That's up to him. I'll still do my best, though. I can't ask him to keep making sacrifices for me anyway.
no subject
Good luck with him, then, and don't make me regret not killing him.

He's given up on pretending like he's the harbinger of chaos, at least.
