The Honmaru That Wasn't Hated

After the former master’s abuse, excessive sorties, the citadel’s explosion, and a host of other disasters, the ruined Honmaru A017 welcomed its second Saniwa. Bad news: the new Saniwa was the former Saniwa’s younger brother. Bad news: the new Saniwa seemed to have been forced to take over the Honmaru. He was full of resentment and so wary that he refused to leave the castle tower. Bad news: the new Saniwa seemed almost exactly like his predecessor. Bad… good news!! The Saniwa hit his head!! * [Everyone, for this Honmaru to survive, it’s important that our master come to like us. Please hide anything unusual about yourselves and show our master the finest, most normal side of the tsukumogami!] [Now that our master has hit his head and seems to have lost his memory, this is our best chance!] [Mm-hmm, that makes a lot of sense, Shokudaikiri.] [But before that, maybe you should do something about the murderous look in your eyes?] * It all began when the Saniwa accidentally bumped his head one night. Dazed and confused, he lay on the floor all night. At last, he came to around dawn and struggled to crawl along the floor in an attempt to save himself. There, he ran right into Heshikiri Hasebe, who had been waiting outside for sortie orders for ages, worrying about him, and finally plucking up the courage to come check on him. For the first time in three years, the shoji doors on the second floor of the castle tower opened to a sword spirit. The man and the sword stared at each other for a long moment, until Hasebe’s wail echoed through the second floor: “My lord!!!!” * # I opened the door and found my master with blood all over his head # The supposed “garbage Saniwa” is actually a withdrawn boy # What? He doesn’t hate us? # A withdrawn Saniwa’s journey into social life from square one (?) Reader advisory: ❁ No corruption, just a cast with their own warped personalities. They’re all actively healing! ❁ A story about a psychological good-for-nothing Saniwa and emotionally damaged swords slowly winning each other over (?). They’ll always be the best family! ❁ No CP, a healing story with both daily life and plot, where everyone heals, causes trouble, and grows stronger together! ❁ The Saniwa has a blindness debuff early on. Consider this a warning. Theme: Treat the world with kindness
