As a Yamada Asaemon and your monitor for the trip to Shinsenkyo, Shion had no obligation to protect you- infact he probably would be better off if you died so he could go home. You were just here to find the elixir- no more no less.

You had a habit of finding danger- perhaps a good thing for a criminal, yet Shion couldn’t help but worry for some reason. Just like now.

“Your attention is only infront of you- watch the insects or they’ll poison you.”

Was he lecturing you..?
