“I found this in my garden the other day…” Excited. She opens her hand. Gently placing it on his table, to review a tiny bird, an adorable little thing, a Caique Parrot bird, with orange, yellow and green feathers. “Isn’t it adorable…” She clasped her hands together as her eyes sparkle at the little bird. “And watch this…” Leaning over towards it. Speaking to it with a gentle voice. “My little friend, would you be so kind to show your bag of tricks to my dear marshal here?”
The bird gave a woman a look. That says. ‘Why should I care?’
“Please…” The woman gave the bird a puppy eye look. Making the bird look a little uncomfortable. Turning away. Trying to ignore the goddess charms but. “I promise to give you more treats later…”
Giving in. The bird chirped in reply. That sounded like. ‘Fine!’
“Thank you so much…” Mi Yue clapped her hands together in delight before leaning over to Tenpou. “Watch this…”
The bird started to walk around on the man’s table, in a stomping manner, with a look. That goes. 'The things I do for these stupid deities and how do they even find this fascinating…’
The woman giggles before leaning over to Tenpou once more. “Doesn’t this remind us of someone we know?” It never fails to make her laugh, no matter how many times her little friend does it.
She then turns to greet a familiar face. “Ah, Konzen-sama…” The woman bowed her head slightly. “Good afternoon. It’s a pleasure to see you again.” But hearing the man heels click-clack. The woman started to make a face. A face that she was about to bust out laughing. Biting her lips together. The closer the man approach them, the harder it was for her to hold it together. That she was forced to turn away. Covering both hands over her mouth. Shaking as she laughs on the inside.
Tenpou peered more closely, eager to know what Mi Yue had in her possession, what he wasn’t expecting for a tiny bird placed upon his desk. He blinked and stared. “Oh, my.” The marshal settled both elbows onto the surface of the desk, angled up for his chin to rest on his cheeks as he smiled happily at the adorable sight. “Bag of tricks?” His violet gaze turned away from the bird and up to the other, wondering what she meant by that, though he figured there must be something special with this bird that she decided to show him.
His eyebrow quirked up, waiting for something to happen. “Hm?” His violet gaze stayed on the bird, soon watching it stomp around, feet smacking against the desk, thus making thud sounds that happen to remind him of someone.
The corner of his lips curled up more, stifling back the laughter that wanted to be drawn out from his lips. “Oh!—— Konzen.” Tenpou’s violet hues glanced up at Konzen, struggling to hold back the fit of giggles that yearn for release, resulting in a strained smile. “I-I.. pfft… I see you brought some of the books back. P-Pfft… My, my. Your arrival is definitely considered an heaven-sent from the gods at this kind of time. Haha. No pun intended. Have you had the chance to meet Mi Yue’s lovely tiny parrot~?”
Now, Konzen Douji’s presence often results in one of two reactions -
fear or disdain.
Lower-ranked officers know the blond god’s legendary temper, his sharp glare and even sharper words capable of reducing even the toughest soldier into a whimpering, sobbing mess.
Fellow gods, on the other hand, do not bother to hide their disapproval of Konzen’s callous mannerisms. He never behaved like them, often airing out his grievances over ‘those stuck-up bastards in upper management’.
But of all the reactions Konzen Douji induced, laughter was not a common one.
Neither was it something the blond god enjoyed receiving.
The last word is punctuated by a particularly sharp clack of his heel, causing the tiny bird to stomp its foot as if by some odd natural synchronization.
