Good afternoon, everyone. Please excuse my change of name: this is Cho Hakkai.

I appear to have reappeared. Although I don't want to give undue hope to anyone who's recently lost a god or shinki, I'd like to announce that my classes will be continuing as usual.

To those who were living upstairs at the school the past few days, I expect you to help me clean up the mess. You know who you are.

[There are animal cracker crumbs everywhere.

And apart from that he's just not going to mention the events of last few days. At least he wasn't an actual child, but....]

Does anyone have an idea what might have caused it? I'm certain I felt something in the air for a few hours before it happened.

That explains a bit. Welcome back.

I hope you don't have any objections to me helping out with that cleaning. It was my shinki's fault, so it's kind of my responsibility.

jack because of course he will

[kokuyoyo]

[!!!!]

There's no need to do that. I don't want to trouble you.

[AXEL-SAMA, NO....]

But of course!

[small_reservations]

[Chikusa, why...]

It's no trouble. I messed up when you were little. I should have taken better care of you. That's all.

[Plus this way he doesn't have to scrape paint off the sidewalk.]

[kokuyoyo]

[It's just how he is, Axel.]

We were the ones who ran off, it's okay.

[Hey Axel, guess who's making food for you in the kitchen now]

[small_reservations]

Yeah, but I should've kept better track of you.

[Something smells good... He's going to wander to the kitchen.]

[kokuyoyo]

[And there's Chikusa waiting for him, cooking some chicken filet on a frying pan.]

Please don't worry about it.

[small_reservations]

Why shouldn't I? It's just a little work. I'm the goddess of domesticity, cleaning is part of it.

[He has that a little wrong, but close enough, as he starts rooting through drawers looking for chopsticks.]

[kokuyoyo]

It's a school, not a home....

[Hope you like miso chicken teriyaki, Axel, because that's what he looked up.]

[small_reservations]

[Axel will eat anything.]

It still needs cleaning!

[kokuyoyo]

I guess....

[With the chicken finally prepared, he puts it on a place and sets it out for Axel.]

Do you want anything to drink?

[reformedsinner]

Of course not. Although if you can help to convince him to do it, that might be more useful than helping to clean!

Thank you for the welcome. It's good to be back.

In a way.

The best way to convince him to do it is to do it.

Just in a way? You missing something back home or some such?

[reformedsinner]

I'd like to say yes, but in fact, it's just that this place has some troublesome issues of its own.

There are several people I'm glad to see again regardless.

[small_reservations]

Yeah, it sure does.

It's good to have you back.

[reformedsinner]

Thank you.

At least the latest issue seems to have been resolved without casualties! Except for the library goblins.

[small_reservations]

Yeah, seems they're more sensitive to that kind of thing than we are. I wonder why that is? Maybe there's a book on it somewhere.

[reformedsinner]

Perhaps they have naturally short lives?

It could be worth asking a survivor if you're curious.

[small_reservations]

They talk?

[reformedsinner]

They might! I haven't exactly tried to talk to them yet.

[small_reservations]

I've only seen them running around with books. Worth a shot, I guess.

[reformedsinner]

If they can talk, they might have interesting things to say.

If not, well, then we'll know.
