Name: You Don't Want the Authorities Finding Out About This, Do You?
Author: Lovey-Dovey Caterpillar

Synopsis

The conduct of the Saniwas had seriously deteriorated, and cases of corrupted swords and shattered blades were becoming more and more common. After a decisive meeting, the government officially launched the Honmaru Spirit Program.

As the spirit of Honmaru 258, Wu Chen has lived for a thousand years and become a true die-hard sword enthusiast.

And so...

Ran, who had shut himself away, feared the dark, and lost his voice; Saniwa, whose face had been ruined and whose original blade had been sealed away; Yasusada, gentle despite being blind, mute, and disabled; the Genji twins, who shared one body and had two personalities; and Kogitsune, forced into corruption and liable to turn into a beast at any moment...

They all came here, into his hands, and came back to life.

[Nightfall Arc]

A hand reached from behind to grip the Saniwa's wrist. Its gaze was fervent and twisted as it stubbornly buried its face against the Saniwa's pale, delicate neck.

"Don't..." The boy's clear blue eyes turned red. A burning warmth pressed against his skin, making him shiver, but he was forced to open his hand and keep it there.

Not just his neck, but his wrists, waist, thighs... He was astonishingly sensitive.

They praised him softly, delighting in the Saniwa's indulgence. Fingers curled around strands of pink hair, lingering there.

Eyes glowed red in the shadows.

"Master, please love us."

"...Forever."

[Title Arc]

The sword spirit leaned closer, its gaze growing darker. "You wouldn't want the government to find out about this, would you?"

The Saniwa looked puzzled. "Are we not allowed to kiss?"

The sword spirit glanced at the distance between them and fell silent... Was this really about a kiss?

Note:

1. The Honmaru spirits have taken form. They are nonhuman. The protagonist is the top (please don't misread it again!).

2. Lots of headcanons, OOC warning, and an original sword spirit will appear.

A couple of upcoming sword-themed stories:

First contender: My Blade, My Blade, My Blade

No, he just has two Honmaru.

Second contender: The Little Doll Sitting in a Sword's Palm

His mother abandoned him, but the swords are his "mothers" too!

(Both have complete outlines, so go ahead and add them to your list!)

Here are the blurbs:

-- My Blade, My Blade, My Blade --

Fengzao Youluo has two Honmaru.

One is a powerful Honmaru passed down to him by his suddenly appearing mother.

The other is a beginner Honmaru he built from scratch during his first month on the job.

Each Honmaru thinks it's the only one he has.

A senior once told him: "Tsukumogami are very possessive creatures."

Fengzao Youluo took that lesson to heart.

Fortunately, the powerful Honmaru operates on its own. It only needs a Saniwa to provide spiritual energy, so it doesn't take much effort.

The swords in his beginner Honmaru, on the other hand, are clingy, innocent, and inexperienced. They can't bear to be away from him for even a moment.

So Fengzao Youluo quickly focused on the Honmaru that was truly his (not really), slipping off to visit the powerful Honmaru in secret each night just to show them he was still alive.

The powerful Honmaru's swords, finding their master gone: ?

And that's not all. The powerful Honmaru boasts an impressive record, with its name appearing on the bonus list every time. Fengzao Youluo and Kitsunezaki nervously tried to keep the relevant information under wraps.

Fengzao Youluo (clenching his fist): They absolutely must not find out!

He thought things would carry on peacefully, but then...

The training grounds were bright and sunny.

Fengzao Youluo had just won a match with his beginner Honmaru and was praising his swords as usual when he suddenly turned and saw the powerful Honmaru staring at him from across the field...

The Saniwa: H-he closed his eyes and awaited his fate.

The Saniwa was shocked and confused. How could max-level swords be in the training grounds?

Seeing the familiar face, the powerful Honmaru's sword spirits finally understood why their Saniwa was absent for twenty-three and a half hours every day.

The hand gripping the sword's body grew increasingly dangerous.

1. Lots of headcanons.

2. If you like it, please add it to your list!

-- The Little Doll Sitting in a Sword's Palm --

Yun Chu is a six-inch-tall doll child with a master.

He calls her Mom.

Mom loves him very much. His photos fill her album, and he is the happiest doll child in the world.

But one day, his face and body shattered. His resin body was covered in cracks, and he was lost and helpless.

Only when a strange fox picked him up from the ground did he learn that he'd been thrown away.

The doll child shut himself off, unwilling to believe it, until the fox told him, "Come sign a contract and become a Saniwa. You'll have lots of 'moms.'"

The abandoned doll child was tempted.

Yun Chu, seeing the swords with hope in his heart: M-Mom?

Honmaru 082 welcomed a very special Saniwa.

At their first meeting, the little one sat on Kitsunezaki's back, clutching his clothes shyly and not daring to look up.

"H-hello, I'm Yun Chu."

The swords (clutching their hearts): S-so cute!

Before long, they realized this little one, small enough to hold in their palms (literally), needed even more love.

He couldn't manage the enormous bed, so the tsukumogami rushed into the back hills and made him a tiny wooden bed.

He loved warm, soft clothes, so the tsukumogami picked up needle and thread and sewed him tiny outfits.

He was fascinated by sweet, juicy fruit, so the tsukumogami carefully made tiny pieces of fruit and tiny forks.

The Saniwa was tiny and sweet.

The Honmaru was warm and cozy, too.
