- ilton on death

tenpou sharply shut the book, potedly ignorg the ache of doubt that had pnted itself his chest and for a while, the field arshal of the western ary jt sat there, starg bnkly at the chaotically llidg dt otes ilated by his di desk p his vision brred, but he seezed his eyes shut, shook his head and all returned to noral, if only for a while

ore silence and ore dt otes he blew soke at the the cigarette was on its fal centiter

like all heavenly nights, tonight was iet, a gentle d blog at his nape and a gss of se by his side should have been blissful

after a ont of thought, tenpou reached to his desk drawer and pulled out o old reports fro the western ary

the first one read like this: "report to tenpou gensui, field arshal of heaven's western aries: (the handwritg was kenren's) the enty first regint of the third division, prised of thirty soldiers was sent to earth on a surveilnce round to vestigate possible threats of dorant ice youkai not one an of the thirty ever reported back perission to anize a rescue ission"

tenpou's response: denied

ld yes, he knew that, and had to deal with kenren's silent treatnt for a good week he truly did care for his n, but sothg nudged tenpou's tuition and bid hi stay iet thk before you leap then aga, don't leap at all becae there's a pit of spikes on the other sideand so he waited as his own rey report filtered its way through the bureaucracy, passg fro hand to rrupted hand

this is the sa report as konzen had received it several days and departnts ter:

"report to konzen douji: the enty first regint of the third division, prised of thirty soldiers was sent to earth on a surveilnce round to vestigate possible threats of obilizg water youkai not one an of the thirty ever reported back it is ost certa that the division had strayed away fro heaven and the ary's leaders have decided to view the situation as abandonnt no drastic action need be taken forbidden re-entrance to heaven is sufficient" (he uld not decipher the writer of the altered report)

like a ga of telephoneand dait his eyesight averg aga eyes were necessary for research, for this tedio handwritg analysis sce he uldn't trt anybody's word on who the ysterio author was but surely, one with enough fence to ph this trash all the way up to konzen who gave the rrespondence back to tenpou

"the handwritg's too neat to be yours too uch flourish to be your dickhead general's"
