That right there is the problem; this Goddess has given them a hint of some kind (a riddle; Chizuru has never been any good at riddles, she overthinks them to the point of going around in circles and confusing herself, and with Souji's life hanging in the balance that's something she can't afford to do here) but she is still so lost, and the Reaper is looming there behind them.
Her brow furrows and bites her lip. "Saving him would be our... reward. So we need to give a gift of life of some kind, to be rewarded for it..." She's thinking so hard. "But, it's not as if one of us can... be sacrificed the way that demon was be--"
Such a gift would be a gift to the Reaper, not to me.
...damn. Iterrupted by a statue. Chizuru has reached a new low.
"Giving life as a gift by ending it... is death. The Reaper's domain. So, then..." There is a slowly dawning comprehension on Chizuru's face. "The opposite of death is birth... but."
But, she's not pregnant, and she won't be any time soon. Even if she were to fall pregnant immediately, that would still take nine months - nine months she isn't sure Souji even has. So it's not an option. "...that would take too long..."
