[Touken Ranbu] The Child Hidden Away by Swords

"All right, all right." The boy obediently went to search, but before long he let out a cry of surprise.

"There! There's a child!"

"Shh, don't let the Master know." A person with orange-yellow hair and a skirt said, "Hey, let me teach you how to dress up, all in secret. Don't let anyone find out."

"Here, keep your voice down." Someone wearing an eyepatch whispered, stuffing a piece of tempura into the person in front of him's mouth. "As long as nobody finds out, I'll teach you how to cook. How about it?"

"Doing all that sounds like too much trouble. I'm not feeling motivated at all. Come on, stay here with me and lounge around, just like the Master described. Don't stay too long, and don't let anyone find out."

"Hahaha, it would be nice to have you keep this old man company too. As long as nobody finds out, come have tea with me whenever you have some free time, all right?"

Note:

1. Touken Ranbu is the main world. This is confirmed to be a crossover. The other worlds are undecided.

2. Haixing is writing this. The story is already underway, and I'll update whenever inspiration strikes! ...Of course, if you ask for an update and I see it, I'll try to post one!

3. In short, the swords find a child, secretly bring them back to the citadel, and raise them. Eventually, the child takes over as the Master of the dark citadel.

4. The protagonist has little screen time early on. This story mainly focuses on the swords, so there are some scenes involving physical and emotional suffering. Skip them if they aren't for you. This story is a bit confusing, so it's normal if you don't understand everything. I'll find a chance to write a separate chapter explaining the timeline.

5. Haixing's Weibo: Dian Xing Cheng Hai.

Haixing's LOFTER: Hai Li De Hai Xing.

6. There are a few references to corruption in this story, but believe me, the author has practically forgotten this plot point. So don't worry, there are only a few descriptions of it. I'm not a fan of corruption myself... [18.8.27: I just realized I actually wrote corruption into this!]
