Atsuro was quiet for a moment, before he looked over his shoulder at Naoya.
"You said...with the angels on our side, you can't escape, and that you'll get another chance if you wait about 1,000 years."
The numbers just seemed odd, and almost generous in the context of humanity having control over demons. It stood out in Atsuro's mind, because no matter how he look at it, no human can possibly live that long. Not unless they're immortal or special in some way, like being the Messiah.
"In fact... I kind of remember you saying something about watching mankind for ages before we take on your challenge."
Atsuro stopped and turned around to fully face Naoya. It felt like he have the pieces of a puzzle, but he's not getting the full picture.
"What's with that? I can get the angels, since you're upholding your end of the deal, but I feel like...I'm still missing the full story behind your words."
