The Blade Sings, and I Sing with It

On the first day of school, a man in a cloak "barged" into the classroom.

Murong Yue: ? Why is nobody, not the teacher or my classmates, noticing him?

Her deskmate: Huh? How can you see the Sword Warriors?

Murong Yue: ? He's right in front of me. How could I not see him?

Cloaked man: ...This child has powerful spiritual abilities and is qualified to become a Saniwa.

And so Murong Yue "barged" into the world of swords.

She thought this was just a "beginning," but never expected it to be the "continuation of a past connection" between the Murong family and the world of swords.

She is a witness to a turning point in this era.

By the bridge in the cold mist among the willow trees, she finds a wandering, fully awakened short sword that once belonged to her grandmother at her own doorstep.

But she doesn't know there was once a "dispute" between two short swords, and that hers was the fortunate "loser" who got what it wanted.

On a bright spring day, while volunteering at an orphanage, she encounters a sword warrior as refined as a white crane.

But she doesn't know that a girl once shed blood and tears for him, and that he had decided to stain the white crane with blood.

Everything seems calm, yet undercurrents stir beneath the surface, until at last the storm of blood and violence arrives

Looking back on it all, was it regret, or resentment?

When the sword warriors and Saniwa, each with their own desires, seize the time transfer device controlled by the Temporal Nexus, are they trying to make up for regrets, or simply to settle things with their past selves?

Swords are heartless, but they resonate with me.

When everything falls into darkness, something will surely light up in our hearts. Hidden in the past and in our memories, these things may seem to have vanished, but they have never left.
