Kibito entered a great hall. Artfully designed pillars supported the vaulted ceiling. The tiles shimmered so blue, as if they weren't a stone, but the water from a mountain lake. The velvet carpet that divided the room in the middle and almost reached the Dai Kaio's throne muffled the echo of Kibito's footsteps. And on the throne sat the Dai Kaio in his official clothes. Beside him stood a consultant and four of his employees, one of whom was holding a large book. When Kibito reached the end of the rug, he bowed and then took the seat cushion that had been laid out for the visitors. And although Kibito probably towered over the Dai Kaio in height, he had to look up at him, since the throne was on an elevation.
"Greetings, honorable Dai Kaio."
"Yeah ... also. You had to wait a long time." The Dai Kaio looked at Kibito.
"If it had been necessary, I would have waited longer."
"Really? I would have surely perished from boredom."Kibito didn't answer. He knew that he was being tested here. If he were to tell the Dai Kaio that the hours had seemed endless to him too, that wouldn't be an argument that would speak for him.
"Did you like the joke?"
"What?"
"Well, didn't he stick to it? The visitor who was here before you. I told him to make a little joke with you to ease the tension."
> That doesn't exist! Did this completely stupid guy act on the orders of the Dai Kaio? Should the Lord of the Hereafter really have such a strange sense of humor? "It was ... entertaining." he brought out. The Dai Kaio laughed.
"I knew it! -Well, tell me what your name is and what brings you to me."
"My name is Kibito, Dai Kaio-sama, and I would like to ask for a different field of work."
"So, so ... Kibito ..." The Dai Kaio waved to the servant with the book, who immediately stepped forward and handed it to the Dai Kaio.The latter opened it and began to leaf through the pages.
"Hm ... Kabaro ... Kiashi ... Kibito! - You work in the Paradise Board's office?"
"Yes. So far I have been working under Master Kadái's instructions."
"Why do you want to change your job, Kibito?"
"With all due respect, I enjoy working under Master Kadái, but the tasks in this area do not appeal to me."
The Dai Kaio continued to leaf through his book. "What kind of position would you prefer?"
Kibito thought for a moment how to phrase his answer.
"I would like to work in a place where I don't just have to sort out different files."
The Dai Kaio leafed through his book for a while. Every now and then he would read a section on a page. Kibito waited eagerly. What kind of job would he get?
After about half an hour the Dai Kaio looked up. "At the moment almost all areas are adequately staffed. I cannot give you a real position.So I'll give you the post of jumper. "
Kibito was both delighted and appalled. Aknight! He really hadn't expected that! As a jumper you got around a lot, since you served as a substitute and helper where it was needed, and were thus immune to a constant daily routine amid countless files, but if you were constantly on the move, you would never really attract anyone's attention at least one of the Kaios. Ever to learn more about the universe and work by the side of a great person ... At that moment, his goals seemed forever distant.
"What's your answer, Kibito?" the Dai Kaio wanted to know. "Do you agree?"
"Yes. I ... agree." Kibito would have liked to protest, but that was all regulations again! –And if he refused the new post, he would have to go back to his old job in the Paradise Board's office. > Anything is better than sorting out files day in, day out! "Well, then stay here a moment. They'll bring you your new uniform and introduce you to your new supervisor. You can sit over there for that time."
Kibito stood up. Lost in thought, he changed places. > That's not how I had imagined it. I really hadn't imagined it that way. So now I'm going to be a jumper ... well, I'll make the best of it
"Are we finished now?" asked the Dai Kaio
"No, Your Highness. One last visitor is still waiting."
"That too ... Well, invite him in so we can finally break up."
One of the employees crossed the hall to open the doors. The Dai Kaio put his head on one arm, bored, and closed his eyes. The "colorful day" had seemed to him for a long time, too. When the door opened, the stranger entered, whom Kibito had known for several hours.He did not hurry to step in front of the Dai Kaio, but neither did he dawdle. So he took an appropriate step in front of the Dai Kaio. When he reached the place where Kibito had been sitting shortly before, he stopped, bowed and then said, "Greetings, Dai Kaio. It's been a long time since we met."
The Dai Kaio opened his eyes and was about to return the greeting when his gaze met the stranger. He opened his eyes and his mouth stayed open. At first he couldn't utter a sound.
"D -dd ... i ... i ... Ka ..." he just stuttered and pointed his finger at the stranger. Apparently he knew him. Kibito looked at the stranger with slight astonishment. Why did this person so obviously upset the Dai Kaio?
"Kaioshin!It is you! What an unexpected honor! We did not expect you!"
Now everyone else in the room was more than excited! TheKAIOSHIN! In person! The supreme god of the universe stood here in the throne room of the Dai Kaio!The Kaioshin took a seat on the seat cushion. "Well, that couldn't be helped. I apologize for the inconvenience I am causing you with my unannounced presence."
"But not! YOU don't need to apologize! And please, you deserve a place of honor! Not the seat cushion! Please, take a seat here instead." The Dai Kaio got up hastily and motioned for the Kaioshin to approach his throne sat, but he shook his head.
"I am only a guest in your palace, Dai Kaio. The throne belongs only to the head of these halls. As a guest, I am not entitled to such an honor. I have already been instructed in manners today."
YOU have been instructed in manners? "Repeated the Dai Kaio, stunned, as he sat down again." Who would dare and why? "
"Well, I was rude. I wanted to see you and completely ignored the people waiting in front of your palace. One of them pointed out to me that everyone who wants to see you today has to queue up, and I did that too. "Kibito's sweat ran down his forehead. No doubt about it, that meant him. What would become of him now? He had got the Kaioshin[/i]to stand in line with those waiting instead of entering the palace straight away. Not only that, he had also berated and mocked him! If only he had known WHO was going to the Dai Kaio in such a hurry! He would have dared left him alone in Ennma Daio's name! Why hadn't the stranger said who he was? Kibito would then have shown him the respect he deserved! He still couldn't believe that the petite stranger was actually the Kaioshin. No wonder that flying did not seem special to him! What now? What punishment would he face for this disrespectful offense? There was no doubt that he would now be punished. He just wanted to learn more about the galaxies and lead a peaceful life! Instead, he had the very highest being, whom the God of all Kaios disdains.In doing so, he himself had ruined his goals forever.
"I beg your pardon? Who dared to tell you something like this? You are the Kaioshin! In no case did you have to wait in line! It was for those who wanted a new job, but not for someone like you!"
The Kaioshin smiled. "No, that was completely correct. It would have been very rude if I had pushed my way forward. Those who had been waiting for hours would have had to wait even longer."
The Dai Kaio and the advisor present looked at him in disbelief. "Well then I hope you didn't have to wait too long."
"Thank you for asking. It wasn't too long."
"May I offer you something, Kaioshin? A little refreshment before we get to the bottom of your visit?"
"I don't want to cause them any trouble."
"As you think. Well, may I ask what brings you here? You don't leave your world every day ..."

Kibito had listened in disbelief.The Kaioshin hadn't mentioned with a single syllable that HE was the one who had prevented him from entering the palace. And he hadn't mentioned the other things either. Didn't he resent him? It couldn't be. Or is it? He still didn't understand. -But at least he knew why that was: He was the Kaioshin! Understanding a person like him was probably impossible for his own kind.
The kaioshin had started talking, and Kibito turned his attention to the conversation.

"Dai Kaio, you surely remember the incident with Boo and Bibidi that happened some time ago?"
"Of course! How could I forget that? Even if I was very young then, I still remember this time of horror! The years in which they were up to mischief have cost countless peoples and planets their existence and all that." Beyond in turmoil and fear! "
"This is true..."
"And we owe the release from this nightmare to you, after all, it was you who defeated the two.""That's not entirely true, and you know it. Boo was able to wipe out my entire family. I wasn't up to him either. I was only able to defeat Bibidi when that Boo sealed it."
"And yet the time of horror ended with it. - But what does that have to do with your visit today?"
"Well, like I just said, the demon Boo wiped out my entire family, I was the only one who survived ... As you know, there were once five Kaioshin, one of them Great Kaioshin. Each of us had our own responsibilities, I was only responsible for the eastern part of the universe and the hereafter. After her death her offices remained open. Since, as you know, one cannot become Kaioshin, but is born in this family, no one can succeed her, which is why I am now about to do so take care of all areas. However, since I was the youngest of
