[Touken Ranbu] The Empty-Shell Sage

[So sorry, I've abandoned this story.]

White-coated researcher: "It's just a shell. What's the point of being so beautiful?"

Black-coated researcher: "If you can't have an interesting soul, then you should at least have a beautiful shell, right?"

The white-coated researcher remains expressionless.

The black-coated researcher gives an awkward laugh. "Ahem, fine, it's because I'm a beauty fanatic. If 790 isn't charming enough, I won't feel like doing the post-production optimization."

Please note:

1. The protagonist's real name is Z315T790, and Qi Jiuling is a codename. The protagonist's characterization is still being developed.

2. The protagonist has no romantic pairing. The swords may or may not have pairings, such as Zhusha and Yaqie.

3. The timeline of this story is roughly around the same time as Welcome to Honmaru 421 and A Certain Saniwa's Daily Rants. Updates are irregular.

4. Comments and critiques are welcome!

5. About the protagonist's golden finger:

At first, the protagonist can see two values. One is green and represents the normal value, while the other is red and represents the current value. The protagonist can adjust these values to prevent the swords from falling into darkness, heal injuries, and so on. This golden finger has no room for further development. Depending on the situation, each adjustment consumes some of the protagonist's energy.
