After this announcement, everything went on as planned. Whoever was admitted, however, hastened to enter as quickly as possible before something unexpected happened again.
> When I was here for the first time, it didn't take that long. –Or does it just feel like this because I was further ahead last time? "May I ask you a question?" He heard. Kibito turned around. Actually, he didn't want anything to do with the stranger, but on the other hand a conversation would shorten the remaining waiting time. "What a question?"so he said.
"You talked about your 'goals' earlier. I would be interested to know what your goals are." "Why?", Asked Kibito skeptically.
"Well, someone who is so careful to obey rules and customs is certainly not going to make any whimsical decisions. So I would be interested to see what interests lead you to the Dai Kaio."
Kibito just looked at the stranger for a moment, then decided to answer this unusual question. "I would like to get a job with one of the four Kaios or the Dai Kaio. If I - like most - work with the incorporeal souls, there will never be an opportunity to learn new things. Always doing the same work every day. I don't want to stay in a narrow room and sort papers like my father as long as I live, or like my brother show the dead souls the way, but as much as possible about the hereafter, this world and the world experience different worlds.This is not possible with a job like the one in the Paradise Board's office. And for someone like me with special skills, an office position is out of the question! What use is it to me to have special talents if I cannot use them? –If I get a place in a more active position, I may be able to assert myself that one of the Kaios or maybe even the Dai Kaio will take notice of me personally at some point. Then I get the chance to serve a great personality. –An honorable task, and at the same time the best opportunity to gain experience across all dimensions. I'm still young, so I want to learn as much as possible. Someday something like this pays off. - With a little luck, I might be able to take the position of a consultant later. "
Kibito looked up, full of energy. He at the side of the most senior in the universe! –Not an easy goal, but if he achieved it it would be an incomparable achievement.But it would be a long time before it got to that point.
"Special skills? What do you mean by that?" He was torn from his thoughts.
"You are quite curious, little one. But well. You can't tell by looking at me, but I have mastered a technique that inhabitants of the hereafter usually cannot, and which only a small number of inhabitants of this world are aware of." The stranger looked at him questioningly at. Kibito didn't want to admit it, but somehow he enjoyed that the other was so interested in his person, almost as if he were already an important person, and so he said proudly: "I have mastered the ability to hover and fly!"

A big look, an astonished sound, a falling jaw - that was what Kibito expected.

Instead, the stranger blinked twice and then scratched his cheek with the index finger of his right hand. "Is that your special ability?"
Kibito disliked this behavior very much. He was extremely proud of this technique!It had been hard to learn! It had taken a lot of effort to master how to fly! And this stranger reacted as if Kibito had just claimed that his special gift was cooking vegetables!
"You're just pretending that flying is nothing special," he said. "But after all, you need hard training to acquire this skill, and not everyone can hold out! Not to mention that not everyone is suitable for learning to fly." Slightly annoyed, Kibito had crossed his arms.
"Forgive me if I should have offended you, in my family it has always been completely normal to have this ability, which others have to learn through hard training, I did not consider it. However, if you did it .. . "
"What do you mean by that?" interrupted Kibito abruptly.
"'If you did it, it can't be that hard?' Is that what you mean? You think I'm weak, don't you?"
"No! That was not what I meant!", the stranger tried to appease, but Kibito felt offended.
"Oh, of course it was! And don't brag about the fact that you could get to fly so easily."
"Please, you misunderstood me! And I didn't mean to brag or insult you, I just said how it is"
"Ah yes? So it is completely normal in your family to be able to fly?Of course.What kind of girl is that supposed to be? Show me your great family!"
There was a barely noticeable twitch in the stranger's eyes. Then he bowed his head and gave a quiet "That won't be possible." of yourself.
"Oh, of course! They don't have time! Do you know what I think? Your oh-so-talented family doesn't even exist!"
"In a way, that's true ..." replied the stranger with an unmistakable sadness in his voice.
"I thought so! And now leave me alone."Both were silent for a while. Then the stranger looked up again and tried again: "It was really not my intention to offend you. I don't want a fight, so let me make it up to you!"
"How?"
"You tell me."
Kibito thought for a moment. Should he get involved? "Tse, there is nothing you can do. All I want is to get another job. I can do the rest on my own. I don't need any reparations. Especially not from someone like you!"
For a long moment the stranger eyed Kibito. "Is that so?"

There was silence after this sentence. Neither Kibito nor the man behind started a new conversation. So the rest of the waiting time passed in thoughtful calm. Finally, the afterlife resident was asked to enter the palace in front of Kibito.
> Finally ... It won't be long now ... I'll be auditioning at the Dai Kaio soon. And then I'll secure a new job. A better! And I will assert myself!One day it will all pay off and I'll be by the side of a great personality. Hopefully I won't be reassigned to an office department ... That would be terrible ... Then I'll probably never get one of the Kaio's attention to me. A peaceful and instructive life, that's all I ask for. <
Kibito was getting more and more excited. Soon - very soon his future would be decided. He waited impatiently for one of the Dai Kaio's employees to come out and invite him in. Why did the last one in front of him take so long? Was he trying to annoy him? Surely that couldn't be true!
It seemed to Kibito that hours had passed since the last one entered before him.
Why in Ennma Daio's name hadn't he been here earlier? Then he wouldn't have had to wait so long! -Because he wanted to show the Dai Kaio that, even if he was one of the last, he still had complete patience and calm and that even an endless period of waiting would not dissuade him from his goal!Finally the inhabitant of the afterlife stepped out again. He didn't look happy, though. He looked at Kibito and then just said flatly: "The Dai Kaio is no longer in the mood to fill new positions. Anyone who wants to change their field of work will not be admitted to him."
The expression on Kibito's face couldn't be read. –Was it horror, bewilderment or disbelief? Kibito couldn't have said it himself. All he thought at the moment was over and over again the sentence he had just heard:

Anyone who wants to change their work area will not be admitted.

Was everything really conspiring against him? What on earth had he done to deserve such a punishment? Sure, he could overreact a bit sometimes, but that wasn't a reason ...?
Only now did he notice that the sad face of the other had suddenly turned into a smiling one. And the smile turned into a grin and finally a loud laugh.
"I was just kidding, man!I didn't think you'd fall for it. "
Nothing happened for a second, or the second.
But in the third, Kibito reacted. He grabbed the surprised prankster by the collar. He yelled at him furiously.
"YOU HAVE BEEN LEAVED BY ALL GOOD SPIRITS !! HOW DO YOU GET TO TAKE SUCH BAD Jokes ??? I WILL HELP YOU !!!"
The unfortunate joker felt lifted off the floor. He wriggled his legs helplessly.
"Hey ... calm down! Don't you understand joking?"
"I'll show you what I enjoy! - I don't know if you will enjoy it!"
Kibito hadn't been so angry in a long time. All the anger that had accumulated inside him suddenly came out and he would hit the unfortunate joker with full force.
A hand fell on Kibito's arm.
"Keep calm. You mustn't lose your composure now. How would that make an impression? If you do something rashly now, you will surely regret it.Fighting here - right in front of the Dai Kaios' palace - would really not be what you would expect from a future advisor, would it? Do you want to throw away your goals so easily now? Dominate yourself! Remember what you've set out to do! "
Kibito took a deep breath. The stranger was right. If he let his anger guide him here now, his plans for the future would probably be over. He let the poor prankster back down.
"It's not worth it to me. - Although I would have liked to have paid you back for your strange sense of humor. This is really not weird!"
Glad to have escaped the supposed trouble, the prankster walked away quickly. "In the future I'll think twice about who I'm joking with," he said, but more to himself.
Kibito closed his eyes for a moment. The stranger had held him back and thus saved him from having to explain his uncontrolled outburst of anger and a demolished inhabitant of the hereafter to the Dai Kaio.Why did he do that? Should he thank them for that? It would probably be appropriate. - But to thank the person he had just reminded of
