A few days passed by in Tenkai and Nataku and the members of the Heaven's army (North, South, East or West, I don't know…) were ordered to descend to Earth to subdue Gyuumao.
Nataku, before leaving, bade his farewell to Goku [for now]. Nataku promised Goku he'll be back…
"Hontou?" the brown-haired boy asked.
"Of course," Nataku smiled. "I'll be back for my friend."
"Ok~ take care, Nataku~!!!" Goku said as he waved goodbye to Nataku.
^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^
Goku ran back to Konzen's office, in time to see the army led by Nataku Taishi leave the gates of heaven and descend to Earth.
When Nataku was already out of sight, Goku went to a corner in the office and he played there, alone.
Konzen noticed this and he felt sorry for Goku. He thought for a while, looking for an opportunity to make the boy happy, and it came.
Kenren Taishou kicked open the door. "Yo!!" He shouted.
The golden-eyed boy ran to the red-head. "Ken-niichan!" the boy exclaimed.
Konzen stared at Kenren, giving the latter a point. "Cheer the saru up, will you?" Kenren 'read' in Konzen's eyes. Kenren smiled.
"Come on, saru…" Kenren said, gesturing the boy to follow him.
"Saru janai yo (I'm not a saru)!!" The boy answered back as he followed Kenren.
As soon as the two left the room, Konzen buried his head in his hands and he sighed. "Great, the saru is lonely, then the world will be dull again. Ch'… I need some adventure…" Konzen said, still signing the papers.

Somewhere in Tenkai, in Kanzeon Bosatsu's bedroom…
*yawns* "I'm so bored…" Kanzeon remarked. "Can't these idiots think about making a festival or something?"
"Kanzeon-sama, please watch your words…" Jiroushin said as he fixed Kanzeon's hair.
"I can't help it!" the goddess replied. "Nothing's happening, and I'm so bored because I don't have entertainment…" she paused. "Or should I say, I have my entertainers, they just don't have the stage." Kanzeon smiled.
"They say that today we'll be celebrating kami-sama's birthday… so there might be–" Jiroushin's sentence was cut off by Kanzeon's laugh.
"Yeah, I know… and I'm looking forward to it." Kanzeon said as she grinned and looked out the window.
^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^
Somewhere in the hallways of Heaven…
"Ne, ne, Ken-niichan, where are we going?" Goku asked.
"Well, how should I know? I just want to walk around for a while…" Kenren smirked.
"Mou, that's no fun…" the boy pouted.
"I know, I know…" Kenren smiled as he put his hand on Goku's head. "I'm looking for fun, that's why."
The boy brightened up, and the two continued along their way. They passed in front of Tenpou's room. They were curious, so they went in. When they opened the door, a few books fell on their heads.
"Itte!!" Goku squealed as he fell on the floor, rubbing his head. Kenren was still standing, but he was also rubbing his head.
"Itte na…" Kenren said as he went forward and he looked around the place. Books were scattered everywhere, and Tenpou is nowhere to be seen. "Oi Tenpou!! Where are you?" the red-head shouted. No reply.
"Ten-chan!!!" Goku squealed, searching in a pile of books. "Ten-chan!!!"
"Heh, bakasaru~" Kenren sweatdropped. "Tenpou isn't small to be lost under that pile of books!"
"Eh~?" Goku looked at him with an innocent look as he sweatdropped. "Oh~ ok…"
Goku walked around and he looked behind Tenpou's table. Tenpou was there, sitting on the floor, reading a book.
"Ten-chan~!!!" Goku went near Tenpou. "You worried us so much!" He shouted, golden eyes threatening to spill tears. "Didn't you hear us?"
Tenpou smiled sheepishly. "Sumimasen, I was really 'absorbed' in reading this book… it's about the–"
"Hai~ hai~" Kenren cut in. "You don't have to boast about your profound knowledge… you really love books don't you?"
The green-eyed man plainly nodded. "Anou, 'boast' is not the right word…" he added, smiling.
"Well, I heard that they'll be holding a festival for kami-sama's birthday today… it would be fun, probably." Kenren smirked.
"Hai hai." Tenpou replied, eyes still on his book.
"Na, Ken-niichan, can we fix Ten-chan's room? It's kinda messy…" Goku said. Kenren and Tenpou looked at the boy, surprised. Tenpou lost his grip on the book and it fell on the floor.
"You're the one messing up Konzen's room, now you want to fix the mess here?" Kenren asked, still surprised.
The boy looked down for a while, and he kept silent. He then looked up and smiled. "Forget it! Let's just clean it ok? Can you help me?" Goku asked.
"Of course we'll help you." Tenpou said gently.
"Yosh~ let's start!" Kenren said as he took out some cleaning materials.
And the three cleaned, and the room was spick-and-span in no time. Tenpou looked around the room and he smiled.
"Arigato gozaimasu." Tenpou politely said as he sat down on his chair.
"No problem!!" Goku said, smiling. Kenren and Tenpou exchanged smiles.
The three then chatted about some things, until Konzen banged the door open. They looked at the blonde who was panting.
"Doushitandesuka, Konzen?" Tenpou asked his eyes looking at him with curiosity and concern.
"We *pant* need to *pant* go to *pant* the celebration to *pant* god's birthday…" Konzen said, then he took a deep breath.
"Oh~ then why in a hurry?" Kenren asked.
"Don't ask." Konzen replied. The three sweatdropped.
"Na, Ken-niichan, is there food stalls there?" Goku asked, eyes twinkling. Kenren sweatdropped even more.
"There's none. But you can come with us so you can see, as long as you behave." Konzen replied.
"Hai~!!" Goku said as he jumped around the room.
Suddenly, the sound of a gong was heard all over Tenkai. Goku stopped jumping, and the four looked around.
"That must be it…" Tenpou said as he stood up from his chair. "Ikimashou?"
"Aa." Kenren followed Tenpou out of the room.
"Oi, are you coming or not?" Konzen turned to Goku.
"A-ah." Goku said as he ran behind Konzen.
"Keep close ok? So you won't get lost in the crowd." Konzen said as they proceeded to the assigned meeting place in front of Heaven (um… the place… just like in episode 41, Collage…^^').
"Hai~" Goku replied.
