Rhemic Empire (2)

Nihonki's thoughts about the Okami were sad. Why does this creature constantly curse her? What has she done? Okay, let's say she acted selfishly in many ways, especially in the first few months after Kirishima's curse. But she's been trying to make amends, and for three years, she hasn't noticed any seriously bad actions on her part. Well, not even bad, it's hard to be sure of the correct assessment with such a heart... But, judging from the perspective of other people... The girl remembered how she challenged the island camp and how most of those around her looked at her afterward. She didn't quite understand it, but maybe that's it? Maybe there was something else she didn't notice? Maybe the Okami can read minds, and those minds aren't exactly flawless? Shimizu closed her eyes briefly and tried to apologize to the spirit in her mind: "I was probably wrong about you, Okami, and you know me better than I know myself. I will try to make amends, I promise. I tried before, but now I will redouble my efforts. If we meet again, I will tell you this in person." She also apologized to Muneshige, in roughly the same words, and opened her eyes. And she saw a light ahead. "Here is my chance to do something good."
-- Well, we know what that is. I'll take the hit, and then it will be your turn to act.
