We understand that it is difficult to bear the unexpected loss of gods and shinki to whom you are attached. However, please bear in mind that we, too, find these disappearances to be a tragic mystery.

To clarify: I cannot bring back those that you may have lost.

Any violence against my home or my shinki will be met with a proportionate response.

We would like to ask if anyone is willing to accept responsibility for the shinki who calls himself "Sha Gojyo," as the god who we know to be his is no longer among us.

I'm merely pointing out that the situation isn't as simple as it seems at the first glance.

If Sha Gojyo was there to attack there would have been blood spilled; if there's none that means he was either trying to protect himself, or reacted to something - perhaps a threat, perhaps a slight to his god or friends.

Has he been questioned?

You do not seem to have a high opinion of my guards' fighting skills.

He has openly said that he attacked because he believed I had taken away his goddess. Since I am not responsible for the disappearances, while I understand his distress, his attack remains unjustified.

I have seen him fight. A seasoned warrior is on a whole different level than a guard.

[Archer rarely sees the need to sugarcoat his words.]

I'm glad that you took time to listen to him; others can misunderstand the meaning, while thinking they're relaying the exact message it's possible to omit the important details.

Honestly I can see where such belief may come from. The most newcomers know of you is from tales of omnipotent ruler of Heavens, scarce posts on the network or from a glimpse of heavily guarded child on official banquets. With the complete lack of information what exactly does bring us here or what is known of such it's easy to come to the conclusion you're the one responsible for what goes here.

Perhaps some guards. Among my shinki, no one who was not a seasoned warrior would have the responsibility of guarding my temple.

I do not know who may share his mistaken belief, but that is the reason why I have made this announcement. If it is widely shared, they should know that it is not correct.
