... I want to say we should try to go out to dinner for it.

We should. And read a book together, later. I have a few new journals to show you.

Then let's do that.

... I just have to make sure Sumiho will be alright, being taken care of by someone. Not me.

... Have Sadame or ~~Akuma~~Akae take care of him.

Akae wants to prove she can be a good sister, but. Baby might be a bit much for her. Hrm...

Shiyoko, maybe?

Also am I allowed to spoil myself with a pre-dinner present of some sort?

I don't see why you couldn't.

Sadame is... one of the servants, right? I think since Sumiho's rather young still, keeping him home would be a better option, but I'll call Shiyoko and see if she can come by for a while to take care of him.

Thanks!

Sadame's one of the servants, and very trustworthy. He has living family that have made him more human-like, though he's emotionally still kind of wooden, but his heart's in the right place.

Right!

Hey! Happy Birthday, Noriko!

Hi! Thanks!

... How's SAI going, by the way?

It's going great! Things seems to be running rather smoothly!
I've been keeping my eye out for any more reports of anyone being attacked by the one hunting down those with Numbers, but so far I haven't seen any similar reports. Maybe he's gone into hiding for a bit.

If you need anything, just give me a buzz.

I'm worried about that. What is that High Judge thinking, letting that happen?

Will do!

I'm worried too. I can only assume he was tired of the Numbers being on the loose and decided on extreme measures, even though a good chunk of them are with me and some I've entrusted to those I feel I can trust with them.

The fact he's not talking to you, and he apparently has some secret agent attacking people worries me. That there's something deeper and darker at work.

Agreed. I'd be willing to talk to him if he wanted, but it feels like he must know I wouldn't agree to whatever it is he's trying to accomplish here.

Yeah.

Ever get that feeling we're in the middle of a storm and we haven't noticed it?

All the time. But especially now.

I hate not having anything to go on either. We have a description of the guy and information on the monsters he used, but nothing can be done if he doesn't show himself.
I've made sure all those working in the field for SAI have the description though and to alert me if anything shows up.

I worry we might need to turn someone into bait...

I'd volunteer myself, but I get the feeling they wouldn't risk going after me so easily. So it'd have to be someone with a Number who wouldn't mind being bait.
I'd rather not have to resort to it, but we might have to, in order to lure him out.

... I have someone who might work, but I'd need her and Sadame's consent and coordination.

I'll get back to you on it.

Okay. Thanks, Noriko!

....happy birthday.

Thanks.

... How are you doing?

Fine.

...first time I've been away from the forest this long since I got there.

Feeling sorta homesick?
