[13th Division]
After sharing news with Shiaki Koujin, Sato Hachirou had finally left 4th Division. On his way out, he'd heard Hayashi-taichou had finally went to labor - however, he had decided to mind her privacy and leave her alone with her newly-expanded family.
Besides,
his outfit might have scared the baby.
Currently, he's strolling through 13th grounds, observing the general state of things. Despite best efforts of the Hayashi twins, lack of three highest authorities (and one less significant authority...) for nearly a week had left the Division schedules in relative disorder. First thing that's amiss Hachirou notices when he looks at the patrol summary - some portions of Mid-Japan had fallen to the wayside during the past week, including the area near Phoenix town.
Hmmm.
The second thing he notices is a report dealing with 3rd seat Yama Akio being AWOL and accused of unauthorized use of Senkaimon - normally, it'd be Natsuko's duty to decide if punitive actions would be necessary, but due to her... condition, the matter had been delegated straight to Vice-Captain of 1st Division.
Uh-huh. No doubt Akio would find his orders accompanied with a strict personal message when he'd he return to his post.
To hell with it. You still have one day off, a voice whispers to his ears. As much as he wants to say something to shut up his sword spirit, Hachirou has to admit it has a point.
Thus, he begins search for Allan Crossdale.
"Hello, Crossdale-kun. How was your week with Shiaki-san? Recovered your sword yet?"
