"..."
While Yami does not respond to your words immediately, it is only because your words have momentarily left her stunned in a way she hasn't been in hundreds of years. Having shown you everything up to the split as you had asked, and knowing now that she could easily be considered the villain for what she had done to her other self, the fact that you still have faith that she'd do the right thing in the future...
That...
"I see, thank you. I will do my best to live up to your expectations-!"
A glimmer of hope existing in humanity's anguish, a promise that reminded her of that of her lost knights. While they had called themselves that, they were really more her friends than anything else, her companions, but...
In the end, they had given up everything to protect her along with the world.
As someone who knows that, as someone whose words reflect that knowledge, the weight of what you have just told her has certainly not been lost on the Goddess that was now beaming at you with renewed confidence, but-
"...Pretty words."
The words of someone unexpected... Immediately shifts your attention from a Goddess...
To a Goddess in disguise.
A disguise that is meaningless on you, who have met her before.
"Waiting for them to accept the world? Those that hate it are ruining it for everyone that wants to live... Their minds won't be changed, they need to be completely cut away. The one child that believes, as you put it, will be dragged endlessly to their death otherwise... As will everyone with that same will."
Floating outside, Tamamo-No-Mae's pose bears a dark confidence. One leg crossed over the other, form flickering with shadows, the Goddess's darkness makes no moves to attack her other half.
"...Ah forgive me, am I interrupting story time?"
