--------

Has anybody seen Vector since that last time he posted? It sounded like he was going to head out right away. And I think he should have been back by now.

Also, does anybody know anything about what Hell is like here? Or how he would've gotten in?

I haven't been able to figure out how to get to the Summons Department to ask yet. I guess I lost that access along with the promotion.

So anyway, it'd be great if you could help! I'll owe you one! Thanks!

[Yukine is so conflicted about this, you have no idea...]

Tsuzuki-sama and everyone...

It sounds like you've made up your minds to go. I don't think it's a good idea, but at least Bishamonten said she will go with you.

I just want to bring this up one more time though: Yuto-san knows that Vector-sama was going to Yomi-no-Kuni, but no one knows for sure if he went in. Or maybe he went in, came out again, and something else happened.
The new gods seem to have strange things happen to them. Already a few have left us. [And one has come back, Tsukuyomi-sama...?]

Maybe Vector-sama had some premonition that he was going to disappear too, and that's why he took care of Yuto-san the way he did.

Anyway, it's a lot of 'maybe'.

I'm just saying, don't get yourselves hurt searching under every stone for someone that might not even be there. Saying you'll be careful is all fine and good, but you don't know what it's like down there.

[And neither does he, but he sure saw Yato's condition when he came out. So close enough.]

[sweetdeath]

Yukine-kun... thanks.

You're right we don't know for sure, but we know something happened to him, and that's where he was going. If we can't find him there, or any signs that he got that far, then

[It's hard to type this out, but he swallows, and continues.]

we'll turn back.

But leaving him down there because we're not sure is too harsh, don't you think? If that's what happened?

[returnedfromtheline]

[He's glad to read that.]

You're right. If he is down there, it's better to get him back out. And you can't find out without investigating.

I hope you find some clues quickly.

[sweetdeath]

Thanks, Yukine. I hope so too.

Hey... do you know if there's a way to get people out? If they're trapped?

[returnedfromtheline]

[Trauma He was kinda hoping Bishamonten would be telling the story... But ok, he's got this.]

If Izanami has sealed the exits to trap someone there, the only way is to have a human call the god's name.

Hey, maybe you guys don't even have to go in! Just find a human to call Ma'at-sama's name into the underworld.

[sweetdeath]

You know, that's not a bad idea.

I think we might have to try that first.

[returnedfromtheline]

Good.
It'd be best if you don't have to step foot in there.

And if Vector-sama is together with Yuya-san, they'll come back together.

[arealhardnose]

Thank you for your concern, Yukine. It's appreciated.

Even if Vector isn't there, I'm sure something useful could come of our little field trip. I'm always open to learning new things, after all.

[For her and Hakkai, anyway.]

1/2

[returnedfromtheline]

Yomi-no-Kuni is NOT a 'little field trip', Elsa-sama!

2/2

[returnedfromtheline]

And if you want to learn about it that badly, I'm sure the people who were just recently there can tell you anything you want to know.

[Pardon him as he volunteers Yato as a source of info?]

[arealhardnose]

I appreciate that suggestion too, but there really is something to be said about experiencing something for yourself. The more people repeat an experiment, the better the data, and the more credible the conclusions reached.

[Sorry, Yukine. But nice try!]

1/2 again

[returnedfromtheline]

Yomi-no-Kuni is NOT a science experiment, Elsa-sama!

2/2

[returnedfromtheline]

I think you shouldn't try to experience something you potentially can't come back from.
Can't you look for clues, try getting a human to call Ma'at-sama's name, and leave it at that?

[arealhardnose]

It's just a turn of phrase, Yukine.

I've done my research, and it would require extensive amounts of effort to get a human's attention long enough to accomplish that. I can't be trapped, and I'm not leaving Hakkai behind, so I really think you've got nothing to worry about.

[returnedfromtheline]

[Not so sure it's just a turn of phrase. And he doesn't think it'd be that hard to get a human to help...
But more importantly--]

Actually, I do.
You told Yamato-san that you want to talk to Izanami. She's not the kind of being you can have a rational conversation with, so... to what possible end?

[reformedsinner]

Yukine, this is mostly a rescue mission.

We might learn something even if we're unable to find Vector, but that's not the reason for us to go there.

[Elsa, really, don't let the cover story slide that easily. Everyone can see.]

1/2 for you too

[returnedfromtheline]

I know... It's important that if Vector-sama really is down there that you get him back.
I just don't want any of you to end up hurt. Like Yato was. [Bishamonten has already name-dropped him, so...]

[Privately, to Hakkai's phone]

[returnedfromtheline]

[[because it's too much trouble to start a thread in there too let's keep it in context]]

It sounds like Elsa-sama has something else in mind though. I mean, I don't know what information she wants about Yomi-no-Kuni that someone doesn't already know...
You'll keep her focused on the rescue, won't you?

[phone text]

[reformedsinner]

Yes, I'll keep her focused.

She has the ability to escape any situation, Yukine. I won't allow her to be hurt, and she cannot be trapped.

[phone text]

[returnedfromtheline]

?!
Just because she can escape any situation doesn't mean she should put herself into it?
And Izanami's control over the underworld is tight.

It's reassuring, really, that you'll be with Elsa-sama and Bishamonten said she'd go too, but this is sounding more and more unnecessarily dangerous.

Do you understand her reasons to try talking with Izanami?

[darkduelist]

Premonition? He's never told me about anything like that...

[But then again Vector never told him much...

Yuto doesn't want to believe that Vector really disappeared though. It's just not possible!]

[returnedfromtheline]

I don’t know that he really had a power like that, but he was unusually observant.
I was just thinking that he might have noticed something that led him to do what he did.

... I hope he’s not really gone, but please mentally prepare yourself for the worst news, Yuto-san. For your new god’s sake, so you don’t sting her too badly.

[darkduelist]

[Yuto doesn't respond for a rather long moment.]

He is going to come back. I told him I'd find him if he didn't come back soon and I am going to keep my word.

[returnedfromtheline]

[Yukine is not so sure about Victor being able to come back if he hasn't already. But that's the point of this (ill-advised) rescue mission.
...He can't say he doesn't sympathize with Yuto though.]

I'm sure Tsuzuki and the others will find some clue.
Decide what to do then.

[darkduelist]

[Yuto doesn't just want to wait for others. Vector was his god, so it is his responsibility to find him and bring him back.]

No. I'll be looking, too.
