N-No, nothing’s wrong! [ Ilda says that a little too hastily, and she resists wincing, because then she’ll be admitting that it’s a lie. She puts on a smile instead — kind of like how Bishamon’s shinki would pretend that everything’s alright. ] Something just came up, and I really have to look into it. I’m sorry.

[ She feels bad at the thought of just leaving Bishamon there, though, especially when she’s just arrived and still trying to figure things out. The goddess’ comment about Yato also gives her pause, so despite his orders to get away, Ilda actually lingers a while longer. ]

Well, I... I’ve told him you’re here, and he can actually appear wherever and whenever he wants, so he should come see you sooner or later... [ She’s taken a moment to text him back, asking why he’s telling her to run... but as soon as she sends the message, the strange feeling returns. She finds herself starting to step back again. ] Um... the Sentry should be able to help you, too. You can ask for someone named Valdis. I’m really sorry!

[ She finally turns and makes a run for it, Yato’s message repeating over and over in her mind like a steadily beating drum. ILDA GET AWAY FROM HER NOW. ]
