Can Someone Who's Afraid of Men Become a Saniwa?

[My other novel, My Sword Boy Can't Possibly Be a Supernatural Boss, is currently being serialized to great acclaim! Find more upcoming stories in my author page~]

[Blurb for my Sword Art Online fanfic, I'm Really Not a Scumbag:]

When she was a child, Kashima Chiharu became bound to a system called the “Scumbag Development System.”

But the System vanished for a long time, and she thought she must have imagined it.

After years of hard work, Chiharu finally became a Saniwa.

Just as she was celebrating inwardly, she suddenly realized something was wrong.

Why did all these sword warriors tremble the moment they saw her?

**

When Kashuu Kiyomitsu was awakened as her starter sword, the first thing he saw was his new master.

Her expression was tense. She frowned as she looked him over, seemingly extremely dissatisfied with him.

Kashuu Kiyomitsu was shaken: His Saniwa was hard to get along with and detested him.

So he warned the swords who arrived later to be careful, or they might accidentally anger their master and be punished mercilessly.

The later swords: !?

Surely he was making it up. Then they saw Chiharu.

The swords: ...

Kashima Chiharu thought this couldn't go on. She absolutely had to foster harmony between the Saniwa and the swords in her citadel.

She had to get rid of that damn System.

So she went to the famous Yokohama to find the Book, and to Tokyo Jujutsu High to find the curse.

The Yokohama crowd and the Jujutsu Kaisen crowd: Ah! What a scumbag!

Kashima Chiharu: ૮₍ꐦ -᷅ ⤙ -᷄ ₎ა I'm really not a scumbag!

[Blurb:]

Cheng Youhe somehow ended up signing a contract with a company.

When a talking fox took her to start work, she was kidnapped along the way.

W-wait a minute!

You never said everyone at your company was a man!

This citadel is a dark citadel.

They say its tsukumogami are bloodthirsty, and not a single Saniwa is willing to take them in.

Their spiritual power was running low, and all their companions had reverted to their true forms. In their desperation, they made a decision:

They would kidnap a Saniwa.

Scene One:

The Saniwa was playing with the Toushirou brothers in the courtyard.

Ichigo Hitofuri approached with a smile, carrying some snacks. “My lord, would you and my brothers like something to eat?”

The Saniwa turned deathly pale. As Ichigo Hitofuri's handsome face drew closer, she turned and threw up.

Ichigo Hitofuri: “...?”

The Toushirou brothers: Aaaaaah, how scary! Ichigo-nii, you're going to fall to the dark side! Aaaaaah!

Huh? Seriously? Is our Saniwa afraid of men?

This book is also known as Will Darkened Sword Warriors Dream of a Saniwa Who Fears Men?

[Content warnings]

1. This is a story about a Saniwa who fears men and a dark citadel. Nothing is going to change that.

2. The swords who make the first move against the Saniwa will all get their quiet revenge later. It won't be too severe, though: they might lose an arm or a leg, or almost be shattered. If you can't accept that, don't read.

3. The heroine is a very conflicted person. She's wary and icy on the inside, and sharp-tongued to boot, but her actions are much gentler. In short, she's hard-mouthed and hard-hearted, but her actions aren't.

4. The story may be revised from time to time, so the comments and the text may not always match.

5. The government is portrayed negatively. Well, not exactly, since there are scumbags everywhere, right? (awkward laugh)

I hope all my dear readers find stories they enjoy!
