A new Saniwa arrived at the Honmaru.
The new Saniwa's surname was Hagiwara. Before the Time Government came knocking, he was supposedly a gloomy ghost who wandered all over the world.
But so what? Why couldn't a gloomy ghost become a Saniwa?
The sword warriors, who were tsukumogami, took the news perfectly well.
The new Saniwa was good with people and quickly got along with everyone. He even charmed all the flowers and plants in the Honmaru.
The only thing that gave everyone a headache was that his memory seemed rather unreliable.
A month after taking up the post, the Saniwa went for a stroll outside the Honmaru and came back with a seven-year-old child. As soon as he got back, he collapsed into bed, without offering even half an explanation about the child.
When the Saniwa woke up again, he looked at the child he'd brought home and thought about it in confusion for a long while. Then it dawned on him. “Did I give birth to you?”
“?”
Hiromitsu, a seven-year-old child and undercover officer who'd swallowed APTX, gave him a black-lotus smile. “That's right. You gave birth to me.”
The officer soon regretted it. His fellow officer really believed that ridiculous story and started treating him like his own child.
Hiromitsu: “…”
Fine. As long as you're happy.
One day, the Saniwa took his seven-year-old “child” out for another stroll. In the end, he asked Hiromitsu gravely, “Kei, would you mind if I found you a stepdad?”
Hiromitsu glanced at the curly-haired man who was supposedly going to be his “stepdad.” “…”
Fine. As long as you and your childhood friend are happy.
Then one day, the Saniwa regained all his memories.
He looked at his “wife,” then at his “child.” Could he still pretend he couldn't remember anything?
Saniwa Hagiwara sighed. “Ah, I'm so happy!”
# A dream inspired by imagining Kei as the “child of HagiMatsu”
# Touken Ranbu crossover, primarily HagiMatsu, with ZeroKei as a secondary pairing
# A lighthearted comedy full of banter, not a serious drama or plot-driven story. The main plot is my ship falling in love, with the whole world chipping in to make it happen. Everything revolves around HagiMatsu.
# Due to the setup, the early chapters focus more on the perspective of little Kei, the “child of HagiMatsu,” before Matsuda makes his official appearance.
# The characters' intelligence is limited by the author's. I'll do my best to keep them in character, so please don't put the characters down by comparison.
Upcoming Novel Preview
Seventeen-year-old Matsuda was woken by the sound of a phone ringing.
“Hey, if I die, you have to avenge me, Jinpei.”
The person on the other end of the phone said this.
Matsuda, wide awake and scowling, picked up the phone and decided to go to his childhood friend's room to ask what on earth had gotten into him in the middle of the night.
But the moment Matsuda opened the door, it seemed the world outside had exploded.
Matsuda quickly shut the door. “…” He must still be asleep.
Matsuda opened the door again.
His childhood friend, a head taller than him, was still holding the phone. He stared in surprise at the pajama-clad teenage Matsuda standing outside.
Then the world outside exploded again.
Matsuda: “…” He must still be dreaming.
Matsuda opened the door once more, and the scene outside reset again.
His childhood friend was still holding the phone, his voice hesitant. “...Jinpei?”
But it wasn't long before his childhood friend exploded again.
Matsuda: “…”
Gripping the doorknob, Matsuda decided he had to be dreaming. Otherwise, how could there be an Anywhere Door in front of him, connected to some unknown time and place, that didn't get destroyed when the world outside exploded?
The next day, he complained to his childhood friend about the dream. His friend asked curiously, “So how did you get out of the dream in the end, Jinpei?”
Matsuda: I went through the Anywhere Door and beat up the you in my dream.
Hagiwara: What a brutal solution!
Matsuda never imagined that one day at the police academy, he'd see the Anywhere Door again on his way back to the dorm.
This time, there was a rooftop on the other side.
The door opened, a gunshot rang out, and the fellow cadet he'd met at the academy died on the rooftop.
Matsuda: “…” Again?!
