Translation[]
The above cipher in Japanese:
みやきたけしが欠落している。 うえはら？のフライトはキャンセルされた。 隠れている。 明日の最後の法令が贈れて？いるシバ神を待つ用がある。
And in English:
1) Miyaki Takeshi is missing. 2) Uehara's flight is canceled. 3) The author or Uehara (not Shiva, right?) is in hiding. (I/Uehara is hiding) 4) Tomorrow, the author is waiting for god Shiva to deliver their last/latest act. (We must wait for Shiva's last/latest law tomorrow.)
