list of times kamisato ayato mentions/alludes to thoma in some way 🍡
Kamisato Ayato’s voicelines for Thoma aren’t even subtext, it’s just text. In any case, here is a compilation of what the Yashiro Commissioner has to say of Thoma, his most loyal retainer, regardless if you or other characters asked or not...
🌊 Kamisato Ayato — Voicelines
Chat: Spoiled
I'm sure I've forgotten something... Not to worry, I'll simply send someone to fetch it. As soon as I remember what it was.
Good Night
Ready to retire for the night, are we? Yes, go on then, you are excused. I'm not tired yet, so... Oh, it's you? Um, I have a few final things to attend to. You should go and get some sleep.
About Us: Trust
Trusting another person isn't easy, especially for someone of high status. Place your trust in the wrong person, and it can quite literally cost you your life. But you have placed your trust in me, and of course I will not let you down.*
*(Correlates to Kamisato Ayato’s About Thoma line)
About Thoma
There is no doubt in my mind about Thoma's loyalty to the Kamisato Clan. A long time ago, partly to see where he stood, I advised him that he would be better off leaving if he didn't want to get drawn into the never-ending disputes that plague public life. Still, he chose to stay, and in all the time he's been with us, he's spared me much worry. There are very few people I trust completely these days, but Thoma is one of them.
Interesting Things
When it comes to pets... Mm, yes, I'm definitely more of a dog person myself. Cats are very independent, which has its merits, but you'll only find obedience in dogs. They'll do whatever you tell them to. Hehe, what can I say — I suppose I find loyalty to be quite an attractive quality.*
*(”Thoma, a protector from afar with a loyal heart.” — Official character introduction for Thoma.)
About Yae Miko
(...) working with intelligent people always makes things highly efficient.*
*(Thoma is frequently regarded as intelligent and at the very least street-smart by other characters. Ayato also says of Thoma that “he’s spared me much worry”. We can safely conclude that their work-life is a harmonious one as well.)
More About Kamisato Ayato: II
Strange tastes, you say...? You seem to misunderstand me. Let me be quite clear: Most of the time, I simply enjoy watching people's facial contortions when they're put in an awkward position. Watching them squirm, you might say. Is that so strange? I would have thought you tease your little friend here on a regular basis for precisely that purpose, no?*
*( Hiratsuka within the Kamisato Estate says this of Kamisato Ayato-
Hiratsuka: I've heard that Thoma gets nervous whenever he sees the Commissioner, and that's because the Commissioner often ropes him in into eating some strange stuff...
Hiratsuka: I really didn't expect the efficient and resolute Commissioner to have such a side to him...
He likes watching Thoma squirm it seems... )
Least Favorite Food
Hmm... it looks like I mixed up my salt and my sugar. Savory Mizu Manjuu. Yes, this can work. I'll give them to Thoma.
🌊 New Shoots from Old Branches
Kamisato Ayato: Oh?
Kamisato Ayato: That voice... Thoma, would that happen to be the Traveler?
Thoma: Alright then. I'll be sure to pay them a visit to send the best wishes of the Kamisato Clan.
Kamisato Ayato: Hmm...
Kamisato Ayato: No need. I'll visit them personally this time.
Thoma: Huh? But you have other things to be doing...
Kamisato Ayato: This is a marriage between the Kujou Clan and the Hiiragi Clan. The Kamisato Clan must demonstrate an appropriate level of respect.
Kamisato Ayato: Ahaha... small talk is a chore. Of course, there are some people in the world who quite enjoy doing chores... but I am not one of them.
Kamisato Ayato: Thoma, I'm heading out with my two guests now. I'll leave the residence in your capable hands
Thoma: Not a problem. Take care, my lord.
Kamisato Ayato: Keep a close watch on the clan representatives we met today.
Hisashi: Well received. I'm on the case.
Kamisato Ayato: Oh, and I almost forgot. That milk I just had — please order one more and deliver it to Thoma.
Hisashi: As you wish, Sir.
BONUS:
(Talk to Thoma again)
Thoma: What's wrong? Are you worried about having to be on your best behavior around my lord? Hahaha, don't be nervous. He's actually pretty easy to get along with.
Thoma: Well... the vast majority of the time, at least...
(Observe chessboard)
Observe Chessboard: (The state of the chess game remains unfinished, though Thoma seems to be at a slight disadvantage.)
Observe Chessboard: (Kamisato Ayato did not look at the board the entire time... Can he really remember the whole board, right down to the last tile?)
Paimon: Ah, two true lovers becoming husband and wife. What a happy occasion!
Kamisato Ayato: It is. *
*(This exchange happens while Thoma and Kamisato Ayato are on screen together.)
🌊 The Truth Is Also a Lie
Kamisato Ayato: Shinnojou may be your retainer, but the law does not grant you the right to abuse him.*
*(Ties into Thoma’s previous line about Kamisato Ayato being a kind person at heart. He clearly cares very much for his retainers. No matter their status, whether under him directly or not, no matter how much he likes to see them squirm or feed them suspicious things... it is irrefutable that he possesses a heart of gold.)
🌊 The Wind Settles
Kamisato Ayato: I didn't mind what became of me, but my family... No one can ever be allowed to trample over my precious family.*
*(Kamisato Ayaka says this of Thoma: “In a sense, I think of him as another brother, and as a full member of the Kamisato Clan.”, which seems to be a sentiment shared in some fraction by her brother. Thoma is just as part of the Kamisato family -- thus, precious.)
Thoma: Looks like everything's resolved.
Thoma: Masterfully done, everything was perfect. Well, except for one minor detail... I somehow ended up with a glass of very peculiar-tasting milk.
Kamisato Ayato: Hmm? Didn't you like it? I distinctly remember you saying you are quite partial to exotic flavors.
Thoma: Oh, my lord...
Thoma: There you go again, my lord. Placing the focus on other people while discreetly performing your job to perfection.
Kamisato Ayato: Naturally. Ah yes, now that we're both free, let's finish off that game of chess we started a few days ago.
(Talk to Thoma or Ayato again after the quest ends — if the player re-enters the Kamisato Estate)
Thoma: Actually, I don't think there's much point continuing that game... I'm pretty sure I don't have a chance of winning.
Kamisato Ayato: Hehe, well, I've forgotten where we left off amidst the activity of the past few days. Don't you want to take this opportunity to try and best me for once?
Thoma: If you say so... alright, I'll give it my best shot!
🍁 The Five Colors' True Form
Kamisato Ayato: Hmm, Thoma sure is taking his sweet time...
>Oh, you're waiting for Thoma?
Kamisato Ayaka: Yes, today is one of the rare occasions when brother isn't busy. I was going to buy some books but he said he wanted to come along, "his treat." However, he forgot his wallet at home, so he asked Thoma to go back and fetch it for him.
Paimon: Paimon didn't think Ayato could ever be forgetful like that.
Kamisato Ayaka: Hehe, brother always works diligently, and it's rare for him to ever put his duties to the side and relax.
Kamisato Ayaka: So, Thoma and I really cherish such moments when he's forgetful.
(Talk to Kamisato Ayaka or Kamisato Ayato again)
The Kamisato Siblings: (The two people talk about various things regarding the Irodori Festival while they wait for Thoma. You can hear snatches of their conversation: "Brother, even if Thoma is here, you cannot simply forget to bring your purse"...)
