After finally retiring as an immortal warrior of Japan's Sengoku era and a master of the Sword Sages, Asaba Toshimune could at last set out without a care in the world to gather the guardian spirits scattered across the land.

Haha, my little darlings, your Master is back!

But Asaba Toshimune was soon shocked to discover that his former pets now all had new owners...

[Heavenly-Eyed Peacock] chose the strongest jujutsu sorcerer as its Host.

[Flame Tiger] followed the famous "Gravity Manipulator" into battle.

[Silk Controller] heartlessly teamed up with the newly reincarnated Demon King, its new boss, to chase down its former owner.

I'm sorry I'm just an ordinary human master, everyone.

But as he doggedly went about reclaiming his former pets, Asaba Toshimune finally made up his mind and declared, "I have something to say. Everyone, please listen!"

His friends looked at him with inexplicable anticipation and began to listen.

He said, "Actually, I've been coveting everyone's bodies for a long time..."

Everyone hurried to stop him.

"Shut up!"

"How dare you say something like that to other people!"

"Heh, you're only saying this to make me jealous, aren't you? A man's little tricks."

In response,

Asaba Toshimune: ?

I only wanted to reclaim the guardian spirits from you guys!

So... I'm just not good enough, huh? Sob.
