[You know, it's not like Shishiō even dislikes bugs. They're gross, yes, but that screech is his nue, he swears. (Actually, it's the both of them, so maybe he's not completely wrong in his internal monologue.) The bug has landed on Shishiō's meal, but honestly, he could just flick it away and continue eating. There can't be too many germs on it--

--but that plan is foiled by the holy fucking sword that comes from the ceiling and also stabs through his food and also breaks the goddamn plate.

Right, this time he screeches for real, and there's no excuse.]

Hyaaah?!

[Yamato is the most terrifying of sweet children.

His nue stretches out its neck to snap up the dead bug in mid-air when Yamato tosses it away. Gross.]
