Chronicles of an Unnamed Blade Honmaru

Also known as: "The Guoyong Brothers’ Not-So-Normal Retirement Routine" Shikiyosejiang, a new sword warrior about to be added to the official roster and the only unmarked blade in the Goto family, sat in the forging room, facing the Master. Fox Suke carried in a sword model, cleared his throat, and called to Tsurumaru behind the door: “Lord Tsurumaru.” “May I ask whether you dropped this Shikiyosejiang, or the other Shikiyosejiang over there who has lost his memory?” The forging-room door was suddenly yanked open. The divine spirit’s normally glowing white face was now dark as night. “Lost… his memory?” Ahead lay the government’s ironclad contract; behind him, his plastic brother didn’t even recognize him. Truly a sin. But back to the beginning: as a new sword warrior about to be added to the government roster, Shikiyosejiang still had a lot to learn. He had to get to know the citadel, his companions, the daily assignments, and the expeditions, as well as his troublemaking, hopelessly generous younger brother. Question: How do you keep the rowdy Tsurumaru in line? Answer: A flick on the forehead. (Sincerely.) Ever since he woke up, he had no memories at all. An empty past, an empty present, and a future he had yet to set foot in. There was no turning back. The journey to regain his memories would be long. It was a hard journey, but he had a reason he couldn’t avoid it. No pairing, sibling affection. A friendly reunion after a thousand years, and a record of life in the citadel with a wooden-headed, delightfully parrying older brother and his fun-loving younger brother who lives to cause trouble. Next up: "The Citadel Everyone Loves" Healing everyday life with an introverted Master and damaged swords After a string of incidents, including abuse by their previous master, excessive expeditions, and the citadel blowing up, Citadel A017 welcomed its second Master. Bad news: The new Master is the previous Master’s younger brother. Bad news: The new Master seems full of resentment and so guarded that he refuses to leave the keep. Bad news: The new Master seems remarkably similar to the previous Master. Bad… good news!! The Master hit his head!! * It all began one night when the Master accidentally bumped his head. Dizzy and disoriented, he lay on the floor all night. At last, he woke up at dawn and struggled to crawl along the floor to save himself, only to run straight into Heshikiri Hasebe, who had been waiting outside for orders to go on an expedition. Worried and finally working up the courage to check on him, Hasebe came upon him at just the right moment. For the first time in three years, the sliding door on the second floor of the keep opened to a divine spirit. The two stared at each other for a long moment, then Hasebe’s wail echoed through the second floor: “My lord!!!!” * #I opened the door and found my Master with his head covered in blood #What? He doesn’t hate us? #An introverted Master starts learning how to socialize from scratch (?) Reader’s notes: ❁ No corruption. They’re just all twisted in their own ways, and they’re actively healing! ❁ A story about a psychologically good-for-nothing Master and psychologically damaged swords gradually winning each other over (?). ❁ No pairing, a healing story with both daily life and plot. They heal, grow, and make trouble together! ❁ The Master has a blindness debuff early on. Consider yourself warned. Theme: The bond of family endures forever
