Kenji and I both stared at each other in silence for a few moments. Neither one of us dared to make the first move, lest the other initiate something that could cause a chain reaction.
I am well aware of the fact that Kenji Fujima now is merely a shell of his former self. He no longer harbors the obscene power he once wielded, but he still is accompanied by his three companions, one of which being my son. I cannot afford to simply destroy him right now, nor can I allow him to go about spouting his beliefs to whomever would choose to lend him their ear.
Perhaps I can remedy the situation? Kenji has yet to outright state that he believes I am a Hell Guardian yet. It may be possible that he is just… assuming the wrong thing.
It's a battle of the minds. Kenji has no hope of matching Derimus Imun right now physically, but knowledge is half the battle, and Kenji is kinda the knowledge guy.
Catch you on the flip side!
