[ Had it been someone familiar he'd be able to sense them through these walls, see all the ugliness of his kind blended together in the form of grotesque limbs or flowers. Instead Obikawa's blood runs hot with humiliation, in realizing that if not a god then he's speaking to a mere human who has found confidence in teasing him.
Humans in his world never dared to attempt at exorcising the Gods. They contaminated the land, polluted the air, and were able to take control of a person's entire mind with a single glance; draining them of all hope. And so of course they turned to their most effective way of handling creatures that threatened their position on the food chain: violence. ]
You sound like the type of person who scams people by saying there's a ghost in their closet.
[ He huffs in attempt to dismiss the mild irritation that still settles in his voice. ]
And like you have no reason to worry about me! 'Cause I've done nothing but be friendly with humans here. I've even sent dick pics. [ That were unwanted and the worst sexting experience someone had, but anyway. ]
Fortunately, we receive plenty of legitimate requests so that we don't need to lower ourselves to such things. Which isn't to say that such scam artists do not exist, but it behooves our.. community to ensure that they are dealt with.
Bad publicity spoils the whole industry, you know.
[Sure sounds more like a gangster than any kind of priest, doesn't it. Exactly the sort of human who rules with power. Matoba, who as part of his skillset was excellent at reading reactions, senses the aggravation on the other side. He struck a nerve there somewhere; now he just needs to keep picking at it.]
How fortunate we are, I suppose, that most of your kind are so slow to adapt to the innovations of man, [Sarcastically.] But if you are the sort that seeks to protect humans, I am sure we will have no problems at all. Did you manage to learn such things here in the resort, or had you already begun to adapt to the world of man?

I wouldn't know. [ All he knows are scientists and theory conspiracists; those that work directly with the innerworkings of the Gods. Maybe they considered working with specialists, but how could they ever know?
It only takes a glance for them to stop. ]
No comment. [ About protecting humans, or the fact that his kin aren't well-adapted. ] I've had a body for a couple years by now, but it's only here that I've bothered with sex -- was never a priority. But are you saying that you're more familiar with perverts?
