A derivative story of Xiang from next door. The character's identity has been adjusted a little, but the personality is unchanged: basically, he's lazy.
Mostly everyday sword-and-blade life, with a mix of all kinds of other things... Hmm.
As a transmigrator, A Xiang entered a wondrous space and was forced to take temporary charge of an allegedly abandoned black Honmaru.
They say the swords here were abused by the previous Saniwa, causing them all to turn dark. Since then, they've refused to take human form. Countless Saniwa hoping to profit from them have tried, but nothing worked. As time went on, the Government of Time could no longer tell whether the Tsukumogami in this Honmaru had vanished or simply refused to serve humanity. So they set their sights on the extraordinary spiritual power of a human who had arrived by breaking through space and possessed the qualities of a Saniwa, entrusting him with one last attempt at this black Honmaru.
A Xiang: "..."
[I'm so happy! The whole sword-spirit thing sounds kind of scary to begin with, and these are a whole bunch of sword spirits who've turned dark! If they won't come out, I'll be over the moon. The Honmaru is huge, and I don't even have to pay rent. I heard these sword spirits have to buy all their food and supplies, so I can just write and earn royalties. It couldn't be better!]
But the Government of Time also valued this human's unusual spiritual power. If he couldn't awaken the sword warriors within three months, they would build him a new Honmaru.
A Xiang: "..."
[I'm conflicted. I don't want to talk. Isn't there some way to let me stay forever in this Honmaru where the sword spirits can't take human form? I really don't want to face a whole bunch of swords.]
This is a companion story to the one next door. Well, how should I put it? It's for the sake of the plot. This A Xiang's personality and physical traits are similar to those of the A Xiang next door, but that A Xiang writes fanfiction, while this one is an original-fiction powerhouse. Don't worry about it. The main point is to give his wild adventures a solid financial foundation. He hasn't dabbled in fan art and the like, and has devoted almost all his energy to his career. He barely watches anime, so he may have heard the names of some popular shows, but show him pictures of several anime characters with the same hair color and he'll go, "Oh my god, they all look exactly alike..."
