[each and every one, huh? that's almost... laughable. akaza's already told shinobu that kyojuro felt he had already paid the price, simply in being beheaded. and this was even after the demon practically begged to be punished.
having to quantify it, though... somehow that's the more difficult part. he's been alive for so long, and only remembers the names and faces of the opponents he found worthy. those who had been insects to him were far more numerous. surely it's in the thousands, maybe tens of thousands. he's never been one for math.]
... You'll have a hell of a lot of work ahead of you, if you want to pursue that.
Of course they do. What living creature wants to be tortured? [since that's really what they're describing, wrapped politely in nice wording.
he says that himself, and yet...]
I already told you I don't feel like I've been properly held accountable. [and maybe, maybe shedding blood, losing limbs, damaging organs, breaking bones, will relieve some of the unbearable pressure built up in his mind and heart. akaza can only fucking hope.]
Permit me to recover in full, and I will give you the judgement you desire. And should you have turned out to be lying, or harm anyone in this village... I shall have your head.
( an ominous thing to say when you can barely stand because your lungs are ribbons but its fine. we're fine.
she hopes her recovery is swift, not out of a sadistic glee or anything of the sort, but because she doesn't trust his ass as far as she could throw it, and wants to be sure. )

( there's a lot of doubt in her mind, but...
... good lord, what is she even going to think if he agrees to it? she never once thought a demon would agree it.
... better get to stabbing lots once she heals, she guesses. )
