[Touken Ranbu] Shuangxian Yueguili Is a Replica

Guili, a wondrous tachi who wandered through the long river of history.

He never suffered a fire or flood. Together with his wandering samurai master, he traveled the length and breadth of the island.

Then one day, he stepped onto that land and was reforged into a Tang dynasty sword.

.

Less serious blurb:

After death, he became a stone, and in the end, he was forged into a sword.

The spirit given the name Shuangxianyue Guili only wanted to return to his homeland.

Guili, Guili, return to the place where your soul belongs...

Then one day, he set foot on that land once again.

He chose to shatter himself, but, ah, he was saved.

Then, carrying the hope of rebirth, he would go see him again as a Tang sword: the spirit he had made a promise to, the sword god of this land.

And then the Time Government talked him into joining the agency.

"Well, let's play a game..."

he said.

"Guess who I am?"

"Shuangxianyue Guili is my... Ah, I used to be a tachi, but now I've been reforged into a Tang sword. I've become unrecognizable... Is life something worth looking forward to?"

After all, compared to the genuine article, I'm still... more like a fake.

.

A certain sword curled his lips into a smile.

"My dear Shuangjiang, I haven't forgotten how you got me beaten up by Lord Ichigo!"

P.S. The setting isn't finished yet because I'm commissioning an illustration and have run out of imagination. Stares at the sky. I look forward to seeing how Guili appears in other people's eyes.
