Report on Abnormal Phenomena at the Honmaru

I am an ordinary Saniwa under the government of time. My citadel may look like it has overwhelming combat strength, but every day it hosts paranormal incidents that even the TV show Science and Technology couldn't capture.

Glow-in-the-dark mushrooms that chant slogans have sprouted on Tonbokiri; Ookurikara's dragon tattoo has somehow run away, and even burnt the handmade snacks he was baking; Otegine's title as one of the Three Great Spears of the Realm has turned into a rubber hammer that makes people dance awkwardly with a "Pujji" sound. Meanwhile, Tsurumaru Kuninaga, who spends all day scaring people, is questioning his life as a sword because there's a cartoon sticker on his hilt that says "I'm right here!"

Watching Yamanbagiri Kunihiro fall into an existential crisis because his blanket is missing, and seeing the fox-print sheets he just put on his bed... I calmly closed my journal.

"Time to melt them down. They're beyond saving."

All the swords: "My lord, please don't!!!"

Also known as: "As Long As I Pretend Not to Notice, the Citadel Is Normal" and "A Record of the Swords' Ridiculous Symptoms."
