Antoneva's Sudden Arrival at a Fallen Honmaru

Yan Hua: Go away for a while.

Antoneva: ...Okay. When can I come back?

The Commander: I'll come get you!

Antoneva: Okay.

Yan Hua: Don't just sit around while you're away. I found you a part-time job.

Antoneva: ...O-okay.

What is my new job supposed to be...????

When is the Commander coming to take me home?

The Commander messed up again? And wants me to wait longer?

He messed up again??? Is he going to bring me back or not?

The Time Government treats me pretty well. If he doesn't come get me soon, I won't return to the Central Court.

#The unlucky Commander spaced out on the Divine Route and messed up again. She'll never catch the Little Goddess in her whole life#

#The Commander got past Divine Flash, then messed up again in the Cage of the White Night#

#That trash Yan Hua is making me wait again#

#The unlucky Commander messed up again on the Goddess's Fall route#

#Forget it, I'm done waiting. I'll stay with the Time Government#

#Soson fell to corruption again#

#The Tsukumogami next door wants to merge our citadels???#

#Can Buddhist swords fall in love? Asking urgently online#

#The unlucky Commander messed up again and is crying, asking me to wait a little longer. He's coming to take me home any minute now#

#So many Antonevas say, since we're free anyway, come help us sort the Central Court archives#

#Could you help me hold a press conference? Could you go to Shiro's and bring the Commander back? Could you take Leviathan home for us? All the Antonevas are waiting urgently online#

Whatever. I'm done waiting. He can come get me or not, I don't care.

This story was inspired by the two games I've been grinding lately: City of Forever 7 Days and Touken Ranbu.

I really, really love Antoneva. When I saw NetEase's awakening art for the S-rank Divine Instrument, Antoneva's picture had barely changed, except that the fish had turned into a multicolored glassy koi. Everyone seems more interested in Flora's awakening from the same batch. I think Flora looks great too, but I just love Antoneva!!!

This story is about what happens after Antoneva arrives at a citadel where the swords have fallen to corruption.

I got Antoneva somehow, in a daze, around my fifth playthrough. She was my first S-rank Divine Instrument. The leader, my main fighter, and the dorm manager. I love Antoneva, and regret that I can't save her in every playthrough.

Also, a heads-up about the story: if this kind of thing isn't your cup of tea, feel free to click away.
