[ THAT SEEMS BAD. He's seen the ending to I'm A High School Teacher and a Successful Light Novel Author, But My Brocon Brother Who's A Voice Actress And Is Younger Than Me Is Strangling My Enemies In The Dungeon. ]
Every single time he glances at Haruaki and seems whisps of that man - he can't stand it.
He's always looking at a ghost. Always one second too late in getting answers. He's lived for eternity, will live for an eternity more, and that sensation of being rubbed raw, scrapped alive, burned down to his soul- ]
Nope. I'm an old man. I've dealt with enough in my lifetime. If I let every little thing bother me, I'd be really stressed out. Haha.
The other divine beasts though - Seimei was the most important person in their life. I can't blame them for being bothered. Byakko-chan has always been kind of a crybaby too...he's the most sensitive of the bunch.
Anyway! Don't let it bother you. You've already tamed them - the rest will just take time.
He thinks of Ashiya Douman who lived as he died - furious, bright and chasing a specter. There was too much honesty between him and Seimei. Maybe that's what started this. Maybe that's what ended it. Maybe Seimei cultivated it to fulfil a goal no one could fathom, that goes beyond a god's grasp.
He thinks of Ashiya Douman and the principal who fell into old habits when a ghost brought him back into life.
Ranmaru hadn't known. Maybe he should have paid more attention during those years he was playing around. He promised to look after Douman because he was compelled by an ever tightening leash.
He promised to look after Douman because he couldn't stand how either of them had been played.
But Haruaki isn't Seimei, Douman isn't Ashiya. Douman is honest, furious, and bright still. Haruaki is-
Honest. Too honest. Too honest. Seimei was never honest and was. Couldn't be. Tried and failed and Haruaki succeeds where he never could and maybe that's why-
For a second, Ranmaru almost says how much he hates Seimei. For a second, Ranmaru almost falls victim to that bright, unyielding honesty and says he can't stand it. For a second, he thinks it would be comforting to utter out thousands of years of grief to a man that might hear him.
For a second, Ranmaru believes him - believes in him as much as he believed in Seiemei. ]

You can be my brother for a small fee. I'll even call you On~ni~ch~an~ ♥
Kyaaaaaa I'm so embarrassed already.
no subject
What would I get for paying you to be my brother!?
no subject
But if you're used to that sort of thing...if you like it...I guess I can offer you the 'Ultra Not A Scam Brocon Oniisan' package.

Do you think I'm the kind of guy who likes being on the other end of a brocon?

I don't necessarily like Ame's brother complex, but it does come in handy sometimes...
I wonder what will happen if I tell him someone else tried to make me their oniichan?
no subject
Bad-Aki!!! No!!!
I'm taking back my offer!
no subject
Anyway, I did have a question if you're done trying to sell me random stuff.
no subject
Anyway, go ahead and ask!

I know it bothers Byakko-san and the others, but you never made a big deal about it like they did.

I should go visit his grave. Can you believe he didn't want to become a karasu tengu? I was gonna give him a fancy title and everything.

Never change, Ranmaru-san.
I'll get real answers out of you one day!!!
