So what's this now? You want me to go live in some strange town? I'm not sure how into that I feel. Sure it would be nice to get out and about, see new sights and do something different for a bit, but it's not exactly going to be free reign, is it.

Not that I wouldn't want to see Shiki sama! It's just... well, you know what they say. The boss is best seen at work and nowhere else, you know?

Good luck~.

[That was. Way. Too sweet to be sincere. They see her trollin']

[higan_retour]

As long as I don't do anything to make her mad, it should be fine. Anyway, what can she do? Tell me to go back to work? It wouldn't be able to anyway.

[ibarakasen]

Oh, I'm sure she has her ways, and will find her ways. That is the Yama.

[higan_retour]

I think you're giving her too much credit there, she is the Yama but not much she can do if she's stuck there too. Though I guess she might give me a job....

I guess no matter how you look at it I'm her employee no matter what.

Once a whipping boy, always a whipping boy.

[higan_retour]

Hey now, I'm nothing at all like a whipping boy.

[ferriedmemories]

Well, this saves my mun the trouble.

[ibarakasen]

Right, right.

I remind you that your work rarely ever ceases, as death does not [ should not ] sleep. Thus it is reasonable that our encounters are frequent, regardless of your opinion on the matter.

[higan_retour]

My job is more than to be blamed for everything someone else does.

[higan_retour]

When you say it like that it makes me a little worried.

^^;

[higan_retour]

O-of course Shiki sama. I... I wasn't trying to say they aren't. But you know, these sorts of places, they're best thought of as an extended vacation and.... And I just say that because it's not like I could get back to work or anything, so it's best to just take a break. I mean, it's not like you can judge anyone, right?

[fateofyears]

Simply enough, I would assign you a new job while you take up residence there.

[ibarakasen]

Right. It's also to be blamed for all the shortcomings you have and the things you don't do~

[higan_retour]

We couldn't just call it an extended vacation? [Her hopes, her dreams.] I hope you have something interesting in mind.

[higan_retour]

I do what I should do at a pace that suits me.

[ibarakasen]

How many times are you going to use that excuse before even you stop believing it?

[higan_retour]

Don't make it out like it's a lie, I go at my own pace, nothing more and nothing less.

[ibarakasen]

I'm not saying it's a lie. I'm saying it's an excuse.

[fateofyears]

Naturally, you will work for me in the courthouse.

[higan_retour]

That doesn't sound very interesting.... Though I guess there would be a lot of stories to hear. Would I get to be a bailiff or something? That might be fun.

[higan_retour]

What does my speed matter anyway?

[ibarakasen]

... I think it matters quite a bit.

[higan_retour]

It doesn't as long as they get to where they need to go in time.

[ibarakasen]

I think the point is that they don't.
