It's

It's kinda more than we're currently equipped to handle, huh.

Yeah, juuust a bit...

I've been trying to help Tomoko, Ruka and Yuma sort through them all, to see if there are any we can relocate, but I somehow feel they'd just end up back here again.

Wonder if there's something particular about SAI especially that draws them to it...

Other than apparently a trouble-making Bunilla teaching them how to get easy food, and all.

I've been trying to help too, but I feel like I just get swarmed by them whenever I'm around, so I'll admit I've been... spacing that out. Maybe I can get Tezaki to help out some days, it'd do him good.

I wonder if maybe they're just drawn to those of us here at SAI who have Spirit Sense. One of the things with it is that Duel Spirits are naturally drawn to those with the ability for some reason.

But, yeah, any help is really appreciated at the moment. We're pretty swamped.

It's weird to think about in general since people here can generally see them in the first place, now, but I guess it doesn't mean that element's been removed.

I'll bully the kid into assisting-- meanwhile I'll see if there's any big properties around that're up for sale and see what can be done there, maybe talk with a couple folks.

Thanks! Honestly that'll be a big help! I think developing a much bigger place for them at this point would be for the best.

Yeah, I'll do some research and tap some shoulders, here. Least I can do if I'm not cut out for dealing with several smaller spirits at once all the time.

Bunilla taught all the other bunny spirits how to break into the food store for the carrots.

H-how did they get past the key code lock we put on that door??

I don't know, but now I have a bunch of bunnies in food comas all over the floor.

And just as I come off of maternity leave...

But yeah, I've been seeing like D.D. Crow, Milus Radiant, Rodenut, Sonic Chick, and Sinister Serpents floating around town.

Heck I think I saw a Faith Bird in the stretch of wilderness between Domino and Kaikori (god I hope Noriko completes that train tunnel soon... drives with the girls are rough)

Yeah, there's definitely been a huge increase in them since the stuff with Kamala happened. We're finding a lot are just... turning up on SAI's doorstep, but we're getting a lot of calls about them too from residents around the city who are having them just turn up in their homes, businesses and gardens.

Yikes, that's definitely a mess.

I've also heard a lot of them are also crowding around The Tower, almost in reverence.

I'm wondering if I should let the girls play at the House while I'm in the office or get them a doggie bed next to or near my desk.

You could always do a bit of both, if you'd like? Maybe have them play in the Spirit House half the day and have them with you the other half!

It would probably help to have them socialize...

But keep them away from that Bunilla. I don't want the girls to pick up bad habits from their classmates.

No problem! I'll make sure Tomoko knows to keep Bunilla away from the girls.

Sorry.

It's fine, Kamala. We're... just a bit overwhelmed at the moment with them, but hopefully we can come up with a solution which is good for everyone, including the spirits themselves.

Uh, if there's anything I can do to help, do tell, because all I've got is they like to crowd around me like I'm some sort of...

Alpha, I think is the term?

I'll let you know if there is anything I'd like you to do!

For now, I'll wait and see if Shian comes up with anything regarding any big property or land that we could possibly buy to help house these little spirits.

In fact, since they seem to crowd around you, I think you'd be a great help in assisting us with transferring the spirits to a new location, once we find one for them!

Sure.

I mean, we could also look into the Tower itself, Mr. Yuuki... But that gets back to the problem of everyone complaining about them crowding there...

Except that place is weird and it reminds me of these paintings where everything is wrong.

Yeah, we need a place where having a large amount of them won't bother other people, so I'm hoping we can find a place suitable enough for the sanctuary, which would hopefully help reduce the numbers that are crowding the Tower and the Spirit House.

Still, Mom and I'll be glad to help once you figure things out.

Yeah, the influx since Halloween has been a lot for OOPARTS to handle, too.

Obviously, if you need extra hands, we can lend them, Yuuki.

Thanks, Onni. Any help is appreciated! Likewise if OOPARTS need any help with anything, let us know and we will do our best.

Mostly I think if you do upgrade to the Sanctuary that'll have knock-on effects for our work, in a good way. Most of the new cases are just people who haven't ever had to deal with spirits running into trouble.

Pretty much all of it is easily solved, but a lot of small things pile up quickly, y'know?

Yeah, sounds like the same sort of calls we've been getting too. We've been inundated with calls from the general public who've had spirits wandering into their houses or businesses, or just causing a bit of mischief.

But yeah, I'll let you know if Shian and I find a suitable place to create a Sanctuary for these Spirits.

Hey, no worries. And if you need someone to level some ground for you on the cheap, I got no problem with putting my back into some hard labor.
