While we were in the forest, did anyone happen to see Ronald? ...Or even William or Grell? I didn't hear from any of them while the kidnappings were happening, now that I think about it.

Now I can't find two of their temples either.

[Already he has a feeling what this means. It's happened before. But does not want to admit it yet.]

A place that's not here? [That made sense, even accounting for an unknown amount of old gods who had shinki there were not enough shinki in the heavens for all the dead of this world, especially if the new shinki came from different worlds.]

[trademark_skull]

A few months ago, I had to guard one of the entrances. To keep ayakashi away.

[He remembered the forest and the child god Ebisu...]

Do you mean the underworld?

[trademark_skull]

Yeah that's the place.

[swordofzero]

I've heard of it. That it was not a good place.

[trademark_skull]

Well, it is a place for the dead. I guess it's not always the happiest place.

[He's never seen the inside, but since only so few souls become shinki it could possibly something like this world's version of Hades? If that were the case, only the sinful ones go down there. And if that is true, those souls are going to be in for a bad time.]

[swordofzero]

I guess not.

[It probably was a god that was responsible, one of Ebisu's shinki had mentioned gods that lived there.]

Thank you for explaining it to me, also I'm sorry for your loss.

[trademark_skull]

I'm sure they gotta be back home by now. Probably would be happier there anyway.

[But it does hurt a bit.]

[swordofzero]

I hope so. The only thing we can do is wish them happiness wherever they are.
