What if he wasn't expecting something to happen wherever he was? Not even we can predict every single moment like that, Chikusa. I'm not sure any god here has a shinki with them every minute of the day.
He wouldn't have died a stupid death. The only serial killer that was a problem has been take care of. There's no excuse for him. He should have had one of us with him.
[ So maybe that didn't count as serial killings yet, but maybe it should considering the number of people who had run afoul of it. Just because the victims were harder to kill than most so far didn't mean that they couldn't have died from it. ]
[Oh, good, she responded. Chikusa was wondering for a moment.]
It's one type. There are smaller and less powerful ones. Their intended purpose is to cut through branches or tree trunks.
[As was demonstrated.]
Whatever size it comes in, it's still a quickly rotating set of metal "teeth" powered by an engine. That means it will still be loud. There's no way to catch someone unawares if you decide to use it as a weapon, especially since it needs to be warmed up before the blades go. That is also loud.
If the people who've been attacked have been shinki, then that's one thing. However, Hakkai is a god. He could have teleported if he thought the person wielding the chainsaw was a serious threat.
I would prefer to understand WHY they're attacking shinki first. But should the reason not be satisfactory - which I doubt, considering the state it left both of my shinki in and how unlikely it is that they would have instigated such a thing - then...
Lives should not be taken easily or lightly, no matter who is doing it. I want them stopped. Although I'm not sure killing them would ultimately make that happen, especially when people tend to come back afterward. Perhaps with more reason to continue out their grudges.
Some who die don't come back. The serial killer proved that. Besides, without their memories, they might lose the reason why they wanted to attack your shinki.
Let me know. I'll do it if you take Ayumu on as a shinki.

Such a thing is too dangerous to be left in the Heavens undealt with. I had no idea they were so....
THAT.
[ She knew something that could injure Shizuo that badly had to be serious, but Seeing it was an entirely different matter. ]

I would take Ayumu on regardless, if she would wish for such a thing. But I don't want you getting hurt, either. So be careful.
I will still happily come for the cookies, however. They're at Hakkai's temple?
