(Touken Ranbu) Cold Cicadas

Please let me love you Love you deeply at the end of time Though the years may circle and linger They can never bury the love I hold on to This is the poem Saeka loves most, the life she sings of, and the love she pursues. But isn't this also the love they long for? Even in human form, their hearts remain swords. They lie in wait inside their scabbards, presenting her with a gentle, harmless appearance, while all the while watching her with hungry eyes, waiting for the moment to draw their blades. All they want is to wait for the moment they can sever every bond she has with anyone but them. This is a battle of attack and defense between loving and being loved. A few things to know before reading: 1. The protagonist is a female Master. Everyone is predisposed to like her. If that bothers you, please don't read. 2. The male lead has not been decided. Feel free to suggest characters you like, but the final choice will depend on how the story develops. 3. This story has no outline and no chapters saved in advance, so readers should enter at their own risk. 4. This is basically a fluffy wish-fulfillment story with no particular literary merit, written as the author's own flight of fancy. 5. Fallen into darkness and divine abduction are mentioned. Whether either actually happens will depend on how the story develops. 6. Although the fifth point is involved, this story mainly focuses on a sweet (?), lighthearted daily life. If that bothers you, please read with caution as well. 7. If none of the above are a problem, feel free to open the first chapter and take a look. Cover image will be removed upon request.
