Matsuo's Punishment?

-----

"Matsuo, based in what has happened yesterday, you're forbidden from doing any Mission or going to a Corrupted Domain for the rest of the month."

The words of the Ancestor were supreme, and like a law. Matsuo could never disapprove of them, or even refute them no matter how hard he would have wanted to.

He could only kneel and nod, it was a divine decree.

"I-I understand…"

They never gave him any reason, but he made the reasons himself, it was clear to him why they made this decision anyways.

It was for him to recover from his Soul that had been damaged, even when he was already fully healed.

But he thought of it differently…

It was as if they were looking down on him, as if they thought he was someone too delicate, that he could break at any moment.

This overprotectiveness felt like an insult to Matsuo, someone so eager to fight for his clan and protect the people of Tokyo and even the rest of Japan.
