To Whom It May Concern:

I am Kurosaki Hisoka, a shinigami of the Summons Division assigned to Kyushu. For more than a month now, I was placed with my partner, Tsuzuki Asato, under the role of a divine vessel. Due to a situation beyond our control, this is not the case any longer. If I caused you any concern, I would like to speak with you.

I have recently been informed that I have had the title of the god Fudaishi transferred to me. I understand that this is an anomalous situation, so I'm looking for information on the following subjects:

• Navigating Heaven's bureaucracy


• Current research in the transferrance of divine power


• Mechanics of how gods handle stray souls


• Divine spells governing loss of memory

Fascinating. And here I'd thought returning after disappearing was the strangest thing to happen here.

How is Tajimamori taking the news?

[outwardinsight]

Do you have any details of incidents where souls have vanished and been returned?

He doesn't seriously use that name, does he?

[leggierissimo]

My original shinki has recently returned as well. He seems to recall what happened before his disappearance, but nothing between then and returning here. I'm in a similar predicament.

It's what I call him.

[outwardinsight]

So there are those incidents, as well as someone else dying and being returned. This is so unprofessional.

[leggierissimo]

I can't say I envy the paperwork and red tape nightmare that this has to be. Really, it's rather embarrassing.

[outwardinsight]

If they're even doing their paperwork. Do you know if anyone has made formal information requests? It might be useful to look at case files.

[leggierissimo]

I'd wager that there's a nice, thick, unfinished stack of it just waiting to be done, if my experience with bureaucracy has anything to say.

I've asked to meet with Amaterasu, but she isn't taking appointments. I haven't asked about files, though, and I have no idea if anyone else has tried.

[outwardinsight]

Executive privileges are something to envy, but it makes sense that she can't afford time for meetings. I'll have to go the formal route.

If she changes her mind, could you contact me? I'll exchange any information I come across in turn.

[leggierissimo]

If she didn't grant audience to the one that's taken her ex-husband's position, I'm not sure who she will grant it to. But you're welcome to try.

Understandably, she was under quite a bit of stress when we spoke, so things may change once it all settles. Tajimamori and I have already discussed some things, and likely will more in the future, so I suppose I can divvy my attention to you, too, considering your personal attachment.

[outwardinsight]

It's not like you're actually her ex-husband, so I can't see why she'd be any more interested in talking to you compared to anyone else recently pulled into this situation. Actually, wouldn't that be a strike against you? Someone assuming a neutral role might have better luck.

[leggierissimo]

She told me not to act like such a stranger. One can only assume.

[outwardinsight]

I can't begin to guess what a god as great as her might be thinking, but I wouldn't assume too much if I were you.

[leggierissimo]

I'm only doing as she's asked. Maybe some good can come of it.

What is your plan, though, Fudaishi-kun? Do enlighten me.

[outwardinsight]

That's not my name. Call me Kurosaki.

[leggierissimo]

My, aren't we demanding? And here I freely gave you information. That's not very becoming of someone temporarily taking the position of the patron deity of libraries, you know.

[outwardinsight]

If you want gratitude, call people what they want to be called.

[leggierissimo]

I see someone lost their sense of fun.

I suppose I can remit formal titles for now, if it's that bothersome for you, Hisoka-kun.

[outwardinsight]

Are you always like this, or did I do something in particular to warrant it?

[leggierissimo]

Oh, nothing in particular. Life is boring without a little fun.

[outwardinsight]

You should try boring. It could be a novelty at this point.

[leggierissimo]

Been there, done that. The t-shirt was overpriced.

[outwardinsight]

You should try it anyway, Joshua-kun.

[leggierissimo]

I think I'll pass. But thanks for the offer.
