Kibito meets Kaioshin

"Colorful days" in the palace of Dai Kaio

Kibito meets Kaioshin

The gate of the Dai Kaio was just swarming with people. Everyone was excited because the Dai Kaio had said that today should be another "colorful day". On this day, the positions of the various unemployed inhabitants of the hereafter were clarified for a long time. Once every 10 years the new recruits were distributed to the different areas where they were to work in the future. And those who were dissatisfied with their area and wanted a different work environment could also try to get a new position in another area on such a day. A particularly tall guy was lining up in the line that was getting longer and longer. Some guards told those waiting that the Dai Kaio would begin shortly. The big guy gave - like many others - a "Well finally!" of yourself. Then he heard one of the guards passing by address him.
"Well, Kibito? You really want to quit your job in the Paradise Board's office?""Oh, it's you, Retaru. Yes, I'm not going to miss this chance! I knew from the start that this was not a good position for me! And believe me, I will not leave here until I find a new job have found!"
"Well then, I wish you the best of luck! You will need it with all the applicants." The supervisor waved to Kibito again before moving on.
Time went on. However, she seemed to be doing it very slowly. Little by little, the one at the front of the row was let into the palace of Dai Kaios, but the queue didn't seem to get any shorter. After all, over two hundred people were waiting at the gates, and every single visitor needed a certain amount of time before he finally left the palace again and the next one could be called in. All in all, the procedure - as always - took a lot longer than most expected. A snail that would have crawled at the end of the row when the first was allowed to enter the halls would be much faster on the steps that led to the halls than most of the contenders.For many, patience seemed to be close to the limit. After several hours, the first of those who wanted to ask for another position left the forecourt. Those who were here to get their first job had to stay, of course. Nevertheless, now and then isolated inhabitants of the hereafter broke away from the long line. Finally, Kibito was the last in the long line. Those who had stood behind him had all gone. There were only three of them anyway. About 20 people apparently did not have enough perseverance to really seek another post. Kibito smiled.
Should it be fine with him, his chances of getting a better place increased. If he had to, he would stand here all day. If only he could get a new, better job, it would be fine with him. But he too was getting impatient. "It'll take forever!" he heard someone say in front of him. And Kibito sighed. He had already had a "colorful day" when he came here to get his first job.> I just hope I get a better place this time than the one in the Paradise Board's office. he thought with a sigh. > I will not go through this ordeal again! <
Kibito leaned a little to the left to see how long the line was left when a person caught his attention. The person was not particularly tall, and was wearing clothes that revealed that they could not be one of the employees of the Dai Kaios, as they could always be seen in a green shirt and dark green trousers - their work clothes. That in itself was nothing unusual, everyone in the queue wore their own clothes, after all they hadn't been assigned a job or they wanted a new job, so they weren't part of any place at the moment. What Kibito noticed about this someone, however, was that he apparently had the nerve to believe that the rules here would not apply to him. As a matter of course he went to the steps to the entrance of the palace and did not care about the people waiting.Quite angry, Kibito left the end of the line and ran after the impudent person. As she just set foot on the first of the stone steps, Kibito stopped. He was almost at the front now.
"Hey you there! What are you thinking of?" The person stopped and turned his head and torso a little to Kibito.
"Excuse me, do you mean me?"
"Of course, who else? What are you thinking of just pushing your way forward here? We have been standing here for several hours and have to wait, that applies to everyone! If you want to go to the Dai Kaio, then please stand in the back! The After all, snake is not here for fun! "With a clear arm movement, Kibito pointed to the long line of people from the hereafter. The stranger didn't obey the rules, that was something he didn't like.
He expected that his counterpart would try to get out of the matter with an excuse, or that he would get angry, but he did not count on what really followed: The stranger first raised an eyebrow and then gave him one Look that expressed both amazement and amusement.Then he took his foot off the step and said in a friendly manner: "I very much apologize for my rude behavior. You are right; if you want to go to the Dai Kaio today, you have to stand in line. This of course also applies to me. "
With a smile, the stranger turned and walked calmly towards the end of the line.
Confused for a moment, Kibito looked after him, then hurried to get back to his seat. He did not want to stand behind the unknown, here every meter counted. A moment later he was back where he had started. And shortly afterwards the stranger stepped behind him to take his place in the row.
Kibito, who was quite tall - certainly one of the tallest of those present, looked down at him. The stranger was just above his waist. Kibito was used to the fact that most of the otherworldly inhabitants were smaller than him, but he had to appear quite delicate to the others and he said with a grin: "It was good for you that you followed the rules so quickly.If I don't like something, it's people who cause trouble. "
The stranger looked up. "If I could allow myself the question, what would you have done to me if I had just kept walking?"
"Quite simply: I would have personally removed you from the courtyard of the palace."
Again the stranger looked amused and then uttered an "I understand."
Kibito could not understand this rule. > I can't make sense of this guy. First he commits an unrivaled audacity, then he apologizes in all form for it, and now he is apparently pleased about the fact that he almost got into quite a bit of trouble with me and certainly also the Dai Kaio. Oh what the heck, actually it's none of my business.
Much later, when about a hundred inhabitants of the hereafter had been to the Dai Kaio, Kibito was addressed again by the stranger behind him: "You also noticed that no one has been invited into the palace for some time, although the last visitor to the halls has long been has left?That's unusual."
Kibito paused. "Now that you mention it ..." Kibito took a step to the side to get a better view of what was going on at the front of the entrance. There ... nothing happened. And there was something else that confused Kibito.
"The palace door is closed !!"
This statement also caused those standing in front of him to also look to the side. A murmur began. Nobody could explain why the door was closed. It was usually always open. The murmuring turned into a restlessness when it was noticed that no one of the employees of the Dai Kaios was to be seen any more.
"And what now?"
"Why doesn't it go on?"
"Who closed the gates?"
"Shouldn't someone go into the palace and ask what's going on?
"Do it if you have the courage."
"What does that mean?"
"That's not a good sign."
"Hey, what should become of us now ?!"
This and similar sentences could be heard throughout the forecourt.
"Strange ... extremely strange" now also said Kibito.While he was wondering what best to do now, he noticed that the stranger behind him was about to move forward.
"Hey, wait, what are you going to do? - Where are you going?"
The stranger looked at him over his shoulder and then said: "I'll ask why it can't go on."
"They will certainly not be enthusiastic about that! Whatever the reason for the delay, I am sure it is of the utmost importance and will not tolerate delay. If you disturb them it will certainly have unpleasant consequences."
The stranger smiled. "Thank you for worrying about me, but I think I know what I'm doing."
"Who is talking about YOU? - If you go in there and ask, you might throw a bad light on us! We could be seen as impatient, and that doesn't suit me at all! In my goals, I can't afford that Dai Kaio gets the wrong picture of me! " replied Kibito, slightly irritated.
Now the stranger turned around again."To be seen as impatient? So you mean it is a kind of test of patience in order to examine the remaining ones? At least it would be conceivable. Well. I'll do you a favor and wait here."
With a slight shrug, the stranger got back in line.
> This fellow already has a strange manner. –But the test of patience sounds plausible ... "It will be a matter of the highest importance in any case, whatever it may be," he said, even if he wasn't sure whether the sentence was for himself or for the obscure stranger.

An hour passed without anything happening. Most of those present were already more than tense. At last the door of the palace was opened again. Full of anticipation, all eyes turned to the Dai Kaio employee, who was now stepping out. He pulled out a megaphone.
"May I have your attention please."Everyone was silent to understand what he was about to say.
"The Dai Kaio has finished its afternoon nap and is now ready to receive candidates again."
For a moment there was complete silence, then those present understood WHAT they had just heard. That was just too much. Most of them tipped over at the back or had to
