"Maybe next time when I break away from her, she'll start moving on her own, completely independent."
Yamanba Echo: "Our operation has commenced, and for Granny of the Mountain, there's no next time. Rest easy, she won't be causing us any troubles."
Renji: "I hope so... To be honest, I've never really trusted you. If I had a choice, I wouldn't even want to cooperate with you."
"Heh heh, why is that?"
"Why? As a remnant of the old mountain god, aren't you too weak? If it weren't for that cock-and-bull story about the Thunder God suddenly appearing, you wouldn't have been able to deal with King Inosasao, let alone get your hands on the maggots of Yomi—"
"And I'd bet that if Granny of the Mountain gained full consciousness, you definitely wouldn't stand a chance against her."
"Renji, your words hurt me." The head-only Yamanba Echo didn't seem the least bit angry at Renji's biting words; they always seemed to interact this way.
