Chapter 557:
"If you break that barrel, you're not drinking anything but sea water you idiot!" Nurarihyon was slapping his cane against the back – rather lightly – of one of his men as they rolled up a barrel of water onto my parked ship.
They were loading it up with everything we might need.
Obviously, I could carry everything myself, but it would be foolish to not have multiple points of failure. What if I got whisked away for whatever reason and they were stuck for a while?
We were being careful; I was being careful.
I couldn't throw caution to the wind like I did when I only had to care about myself. Behind me was the entirety of the Youkai army even if I wasn't one of the 'generals'.
I didn't have much to do. Honestly, I didn't have very many responsibilities in the first place. I was not a...leader in this venture. I fumbled through it back in Chaldea, but I was not the type of person to be leading large groups.
I knew what I was good at. I would let them all tell me where to go and what to do, and I could even handle curve balls thrown my way. Maybe that endeared me more to the Youkai around here as I never once tried to flex my 'authority' over them as Yasaka's lover.
Funny enough, they all seemed to genuinely recognize my authority in that regard. If I asked for something, no one would question me, and it would get done.
Maybe it was something I should talk to Venelana about the next time I sat down with her. She's always great when I felt like I need to speak about certain things and maybe my despise for leadership positions came from somewhere.
