... Well, I don't quite care about that, and I don't really care about the society or justice or whatever your oh-so-noble motivation is. But since this is causing me problems, at this rate, it will also be used to cause trouble for Hakuno, and I can't allow that.
Fortunately, I've been a bit busy, and I've make something of a list, you see. Of aaaallll of those businesses and shops that are being so needlessly cruel to Sweetgum.
[He's not sure "giving even half of a shit about others" counts as anything more than basic human decency, let alone a word as strong as noble, but she's got his attention, at least.]
What did you have in mind? I already thought about arson, but innocent people might get hurt.
['basic human decency' THERE'S ONE VERY IMPORTANT WORD IN THERE, ROBIN]
Well, yes. Hakuno would get upset if we did that.
But, for example, it can't be our fault if these places have just a terrible run of very specific bad luck. If one of them ends up embarrassing themselves, or having their stuff all keep breaking, or losing something important... Or, perhaps, they eat something unpleasant and are ill with the runs for a few days, things like that. After all, you only have poisons for killing, and I surely can't be responsible if someone just forgets to close their ice box or sneezes while cutting their hair.
[He likes this plan, but he'd almost forgotten how truly terrifying Tamamo can be when she puts her mind to it. For now, he's just glad that he isn't the intended target for this plan.]
Yeah, you're right. It'd be a pretty tragic coincidence if their lives took a turn for the worse right about now, wouldn't it.
