[It's something even Yato himself isn't quite sure of; his father kept him in the dark about a lot of things, most of what he knows he picked up on his own over the long years he's been alive.]

Well... His exact wording was to "cull the herd" of humanity. So I don't think I can get away with just ending things... I wish I could, though. So much so that I've been trying to become a God of Fortune instead, using my ability to slay things to help people. My guidepost shinki Yukine believes it's enough for me to just take out ayakashi before they hurt people. But there's no ayakashi here, and the kaiju are tougher for me to tackle on my own without Yukine to help me out. I can't draw borderlines as clearly without him, so nailing small things like bacteria are right out.

...I thought about going back to my roots of killing criminals and evildoers here, but Hiyori would hate me if I did that. Maybe I should look into becoming a chef, heh.

[His smile says he knows it's meant jokingly, but honestly, maybe hacking up food would be something he'd excel at.]
