[ Minako may be a huge gossip, but even she has limits when it comes to those things. Dear friends get more protection benefits to begin with, and Zelda sure fits into that category. ]
And besides that, I'm sure there's stuff she probably doesn't tell me about to begin with. But I guess if I had to put it generally and sum it up.. she often seems worries about the things that are happening in this place?
just a general idea is fine but in the end i guess all you can do is tell her that you want to help and that it affects you when she won't rely on you regardless on what any god thinks about the shinki system we are invested in how they're feeling and that's important too i guess
[ Despite the amount of "I guess" going on here, he does seem - in Minako's eyes, anyway, but she might be a little (more than a little) biased against herself here - like he's got his grasp on this more together than she does. ]
Geez, Chikusa, you really sound like you know what to do in these cases. I suppose I'm talking to an expert here!
Hey, him being a pain has nothing to do with you being an expert or not! Maybe he's just a really difficult case, so they put an expert like you together with him since you're perfectly suited to making it work! (๑•ㅂ•)و
[He's his... third god? second god? Chikusa is actually a little blurry on that point. During the ablution that Hakkai named him, things got a little... Well, dissociating wildly is kind of a bad habit of his.]
[ Not that she's judging or anything - Minako could care less about those sort of matters. If anything, it just makes it more clear why Chikusa seems to care so much about Hakkai. Or more than he seems to care about a lot of other things, anyway. ]
[ And for once there's no ten thousand harassing texts in the pause where Chikusa doesn't send her an answer yet! Minako is a ditz, but she's thoughtful where it matters. It'd be awkward to harass him right after asking that, so she's being good and waits until he replies. ]
It sounds like it is! I'm glad. And it's also a good thing that you met an amazing friend like me, right?
[ Thirsty for attention and signs people care? Minako? No way. ]
[ Oh no, that's actually a more sad answer than she expected?! It's kind of sad to Minako, anyway. ]
Then I guess you've found the first person to break that streak! I mean, where would I even disappear off to, huh? It takes a lot to get rid of the great Minako, so don't worry, I'll be right here.
[Frankly, Chikusa probably shouldn't be allowed on his own, or else depressing answers and thoughts just come naturally. He's not had any close companion besides Ken for years... and he's not exactly coping well with losing his first two actual friends.]
[Frankly, he's not entirely sure Minako won't end up disappearing either... but he doesn't say that. Getting into that kind of argument with someone like Minako feels like it wouldn't be something he'd truly win. Not without getting exhausted.]
i think we got sidetracked so is this enough for dealing with your god
[ Definitely not. She honestly doesn't feel any more confident about the issue than before, but saying that sort of thing isn't very Minako-like, now is it. If anything, she feels like she got more out of that sidetracked bit just now than anything else. ]
Thanks for helping me! I knew I could count on you.
[She could have said that to his face, and it's a 50/50 chance if Chikusa would have noticed. People are so hard. People are so hard and he never has any idea of how to deal with them.]
[So, needless to say, he just accepts it.]
sure let me know how it goes or something like that maybe if it works then i'll have a better idea of what to do with hakkai-sama
Of course! It'll probably take a while to see if anything changes, but I'll let you know. [ Even though Zelda and Hakkai are probably pretty different, and who's to say the same thing will work for both of them to begin with.. but still. Who knows. ]

hakkai-sama named me himself

But you like being his shinki, right?

it was probably a good thing maybe
that i ended up being his shinki
