Can a Snarky Spirit Warden Turn into a Behind-the-Scenes Big Bad?

Hello, everyone. I'm Xiaoming, codename: Saniwa... No, wait, I'm a Saniwa with the codename Xiaoming. As I said, I'm just another ordinary wage slave working for the government. My lifelong dream is to enjoy a happy life with my swords: watching movies and playing cards, teasing foxes and feeding cats, and occasionally scrambling to meet deadlines and finish the work assigned by my boss. Now, little old me is enjoying a fabulous vacation in another world, with my whole family in tow. Though these vacation worlds are usually not as peaceful as I'd imagined, I believe they're just minor furry inconveniences. As an outsider, I should do my best to embrace the local customs and traditions. In Vacation World A, just a few days after arriving, I was denounced by a bunch of strangers and inexplicably labeled a Star Plasma Vessel. Even so, I didn't get mad. I simply returned the favor by showing them my true form, and they willingly handed over the position of cult leader. Since things had come to this, I figured I might as well run the place. With a grand wave of my hand, I renamed the ■■ Cult the Holy Flame Sword Cult, and made Tsurumaru Kuninaga, who'd beaten the other candidates by drawing lots, the cult's divine child. The freshly minted white-haired divine child: “Yay!” The Gojo family, who'd looked away for just a moment and missed the divine child being replaced: “If your side has a divine child, then what does our family have???” In Vacation World B, before I even landed, I managed to lose all but one of the swords I'd finally gathered for a long vacation. Forget enjoying a fun beach holiday. Every day, I wake up looking for swords and go to sleep wondering where they've all gone. Seeing another familiar sword in the newspaper: “So, tell me, where exactly is Impel Down?! And why did they end up there?!” Vacation World C left the deepest impression on me. In all the other vacation worlds, nobody even bothered pretending from the start. This world, though, actually put on a peaceful act first and fooled me. Who could have known how shocking it would be to spot the familiar kid next door with flames on his forehead, fighting someone on my way home from grocery shopping? Although something unexpected happens on every vacation, I firmly believe that I'm a law-abiding, upstanding citizen... Huh? What do you mean, “Stop it! The place is crawling with jujutsu sorcerers / Marines / the mafia”? 1. The whole story is in first person, though a little third person might show up now and then. The Xiaoming in my other story, Will Corrupted Swords Dream of a Snarky Saniwa?, is Xiaoming 1.0. This story also features a small amount of the Demon Slayer world. You probably won't miss anything if you haven't read it; all you need to know is that Xiaoming used to be an ordinary person and is now a cosmic-horror tentacle Saniwa. 2. The swords are seriously yandere, and the Saniwa is seriously yandere. Put two negatives together and you get something pretty healthy (?). 3. The only romantic arrows in this story are between Xiaoming and the sword boys (don't ask what kind of arrows just yet). Her relationship with the other important characters who appear is purely platonic. The story is mainly about Xiaoming and the sword boys adapting to everyday life in different worlds, and probably won't follow much of the original plot. 4. Apart from both the Saniwa and the swords being scheming and yandere from time to time, there doesn't seem to be anything else that needs an advance warning, so you'll have to make your own judgment calls (bows deeply). 5. I haven't thought of anything else yet. I'll add it if I do. Chapter one's author's note has detailed reading guidelines. Enjoy! Theme: Becoming a better version of yourself
