[Kazuya didn't reply. He looked at Hyoubu, expression blank, before he dropped his gaze to the chopping board, idly tracing the shallow groove on it with the tip of his finger]
It's considered a sin, you know. [There was an odd smile on his face] To be like that, to have power beyond normal, mortal means. Back home, the angels came down and demanded people with those powers to surrender before the salvation of God - or, in layman's turn, get the shit murdered out of them until they were nothing but ash.
[Of course, Demon Tamers were a little different from Espers, but it was all the same, really. They had a power that people feared and thought were abominable, and it didn't help that quite a few of them went nuts with their newfound power and terrorised people. The 'salvation' the angels offered to those who refused to give up their power was, of course, death. Total vaporisation, in fact. Kazuya had felt sick when they ordered him to do the same - to be the cleansing force that judged humanity and left only the good little meek sheep behind.
He refused, obviously, but...]
It's all well and good saying to embrace it, but sometimes it's better to be careful. There are stronger things out there that hate... competitors. [he looked at Hyoubu again] I'm only allowed to exist because I'm a very useful tool, but even then I can't be too dangerous, y'know. Anyway. [his tone became brisk] What about these pancakes? C'mon, I'm hungry.
