[Dazai could guess where Bedivere had placed his hand. Even if he knew that his new companion wouldn't cut him down, it was still oddly comforting to know how Fukuzawa was prepared to strike.
...truly, he was fortunate to have found such reliable people.
Now, if Kunikida was done committing his callouses to memory, Dazai would like to take his hand back now. Had it been anyone else, Dazai would've tried to communicate with a glance that there wasn't a need to be this tense around Bedivere, but he knew that Fukuzawa would prefer to come to his own conclusions about that.]
Then four more have either yet to be summoned, or the ritual was done in private.
Whatever the case, it's conventionally disadvantageous for a spirit to betray the person they're contracted to. [This was also a reminder to himself given that enticing a valued asset to switch sides was a valid tactic during conflict. If there was any loophole to accommodate this in the grail war, he wasn't aware of it.] I should also mention that while the scale for potential collateral damage is still an unknown until we find out who we're up against, there's no accounting for desperation.
