[By the time the shiki returns, Natori is fully awake and getting dressed. He's irritated but not surprised to receive a response; it wasn't like Matoba to just give up when he wanted something, but at the same time he had hoped that this wouldn't need to be an actual conversation.
He doesn't bother dispelling the shiki this time, just takes the letter and reads it. He writes his own response on the back and hands it back to the shiki without a word (or a ward; he's not going to bother sealing it).]
I'm happy to report that the Akeboshi Koutarou continues to receive rave reviews, even from the Celestials. I suppose that's not much of a surprise to you?
