[ Muramasa glances at Rin, then at the rest of Ratio's preparations. He was originally going to sit this conversation out, and let his new Master try her hand at navigating the pitfalls of mage work, but knowing that Ereshkigal, specifically, is involved has changed his stance.

If Ratio's contract is still active, then Ereshkigal is alive, in some form. And since Ereshkigal's vessel is Rin, and Rin is his Master now, it would behoove him to at least be concerned with her safety for whatever ends up happening too.

He responds slowly, thoughtfully, trying to pick through the logic of a contract and what he felt when the goddess disappeared during the kaiju attack. He'd thought it was an immediate death blow, the way she'd been there one moment in his senses, and then gone in another, but that shouldn't be easy to do. Kabus' primary weapon was fear, not beam attacks. ]

You haven't been able to talk to her, but your contract is still intact? [ HMMM... that's odd in and of itself. ] Eh... Assuming her being a Divine Spirit doesn't make things work differently, it should work...

[ He glances at Rin once more. ] I mean, our contract feels normal to you, right?
