Your diligence is amazing, Koguma.

My Goldfish was Shattered to Pieces...

I also enjoy that Guriko treats him normally... Of course, there's the respect that comes from Koguma being his senior—but I like how “alive” Koguma feels next to Guriko. Not moping, not reminiscing, but allowed to participate in gags, too. Forgetting that sense of solemnity and inferiority for a while and being human. Embarrassing, even. Never bad about himself, though. Guriko doesn't see Koguma as lesser-than, a loser, or a child because of his looks or personality. He holds him in high regard. With him, Koguma isn't just some helpless apprentice whose worth relies solely on his performance personality, but someone to admire no matter what side of himself he shows. For someone with issues regarding his own worth like Koguma, I see it as a perfect fit.

Pieces I'd finish if I had the skill for them

Overall, however—I think that Kaisei might win, or at best—it will be a tie, for he has spent his life with a God of Death himself. If his performance is personal, he will excel at it.

Wonder if people care about this ship so that I color it...
