Atsuro fails to respond for a moment or two, seemingly distracted by his own thoughts. It wasn't terribly difficult to guess which path this Kazuya had chosen to walk (glowy red eyes of doom were always suggestive), but the ramifications of actually taking on the mantle of demon king weren't something he had considered before, short of 'and then the demons stopped murdering everyone'. ...Fighting God, right? That had been Naoya's plan. What about the stuff in between? Atsuro comes to with a shake of his head.
"...Golden, huh?" Another short pause. "Hah... Nah, that's not it. Maybe there were a lot of ways we could've gotten rid of the demons, but the real reason we survived... The real reason that any of these worlds can exist at all. Naoya, Amane, all of us -- we were all depending on you."
