He told me he needed one more to ensure he has a higher placing in the pantheon. That was his only request. It's the only thing he's ever asked me for.
[ and they have a feeling he wants this for their sake - so that he might be able to fulfill their wish, even if he doesn't win. Mizuki continues coolly. ]
If you don't switch, I was intending to force someone else to do so. So I'd appreciate it if you did.
[ they leave Senri's second question unanswered. ]
Force - [ . . . and senri looks surprised, before sighing.] ... fine. I'll switch. I'll get someone to cover Sincerity so he doesn't drop to 0 this week.
[ . . . ]
Mizuki-san, some people believe in Piety's world, and think he would be the best leader. I know he's part of the alliance that you've been organizing.
Even now, you won't tell me what you're trying to do, when we want similar things...?
[ Mizuki crosses their arms, considering what he says with distant annoyance - very distant, though, since they do answer. ]
... To be honest, I don't care that much about what happens after this. I just don't want them to take more people from their homes and do it all again. For that reason, it's only important to me that the pantheon is stable. Out of the gods I've heard from, Piety-kun does sound like the best choice in that regard. Naturally, I also support Beauty-kun, but I'm not sure he's cut out to lead all alone.
[Senri seems to think about saying something - but instead just nods quietly.]
... I agree.
Will you stay with Beauty at the end? Pippin said that the last chance to switch is the Sunday after all the gods have hosted - so we have this week left.
I presented everything that I knew and people have to make their own choices... but I hope you get your wish.
Thank you for looking after him, all this time, and continuing to.
... If everything works out, and Pippin does win... I'll try to make sure that you get something at the end of this. It's the least that I can do, after all your help.
[which senri does sincerely believe, despite their own personal hiccups]
[ that doesn't surprise them - they've got a decent understanding of his personality, they think. It turns out that he really is this idealistic and friendly, and it's not just a facade. Mizuki breathes out a little laugh at that, but this time, it's more self-deprecating than disparaging Senri. ]
Hah... If you knew what I was going to do, you might change your mind. [ a bittersweet half-smile. ] Thanks. We'll see what happens.
[ . . . and senri tilts his head a little curiously at that. something in him wants to ask, but also feels like after all this time - it's probably not his place to]

I will. Being with him isn't just about winning the game for me.
[ they care really deeply about him. It's stupid. But it's the truth - and they're in too deep to pretend otherwise. ]
... Mm. If I don't, I'll fulfill it myself when I get back home. This was just an extra chance.
[ one they failed to take advantage of properly, but a chance nonetheless. ]

... it must be something difficult...
I'll hope for whatever brings you happiness then.
