[Touken Ranbu] Little Fox Is Helpless

I am the true spirit of Kogitsunemaru, but for some reason I became a deranged, corrupted sword in an abandoned, dark Honmaru.

Oh, is this what they mean by "sitting at home, only to have trouble fall from the sky"? But if my comrades in the Honmaru find out I've been swapped and am nothing like them, won't they throw me straight into the sword dissolution pool?

What? This Kogitsunemaru has a lover? And it's the most beautiful of the Five Great Swords? Oh, really?

Wait! That's not right! Doesn't Kogi remember that he's Kogi's little brother, the Saneniwa Munetika who can't take care of himself and is always such a worry?

No! Absolutely not! Kogi would never fall for his little brother (an old man who can't look after himself)! You must have misunderstood! It's just brotherly affection!

Kogitsunemaru later: Hmm... I see why they like it.

Mikazuki (covering his lips with his sleeve): Hahaha!

About this novel: 1. The protagonist is set to have transmigrated, but you can completely ignore it. It's an invisible bit of background that only comes up in the first chapter and never again. As for why I went to the trouble of adding it, the author was afraid of writing the characters out of character and needed someone to take the blame!

2. Tsukumogami are divided into Bunrei, Shurei, and Honrei. Shurei are closer to the Honrei and stronger than Bunrei. Roughly speaking, the difference between Bunrei and Shurei is like the difference between Hanamaru and Katsugeki.

3. A dark Honmaru (abandoned) is a Honmaru that houses more severely corrupted swords. It has no Saniwa, and the government provides its spiritual energy. It is mainly responsible for the most difficult missions and can be abandoned at any time.

4. I'll add side ships as appropriate.

5. I have a few chapters in reserve, but not many, so I'll try to update daily. Note that I said try!
