( It’s been a slow day at the citadel, at least, for actual shounen-notmermaid-turned-person, Mutsunokami Yoshiyuki. He’s finished his field work with plenty of time and energy to spare and without any missions to go on, he’s decided to have some fun for himself.

… Unfortunately, a certain saniwa has hidden their phone away. Wow, talk about no fun. He really wanted to play that one game again. You know, that one game everyone is playing these days according to the colorful ads on tv. He was getting the hang of it the other day. Actually, he’s pretty sure he was even winning! And he was making so many new friends with those “invites.” Well, you can hide your technology from Mutsu but you can't defeat him.

As much as he enjoys this new time, he still enjoys a lot of the old traditions, just like his first master. Which is why you can find him outside, crouched on the ground in front of a small fire pit, roasting some yams he picked while working the field earlier. It's a little out of season but the seasons don't run his life, they don't control his story.

Before you can ask (were you even going to?) Mutsu notices you hanging around and beckons to come over. Yes, even if you’re a particularly stubborn Shinsengumi sword. )

Hey! C'mon over here!

[The loudest citadel ever.]

I see, so these are the master's fields? [She looks around. The saniwa's lands are quite vast, but she never knew who actually owned it. Probably not the government, then?] Doing this must be much more relaxing than fighting, at least?

[newtimes]

Somethin' like that. ( IDK its probably loaned out who knows but for now, it's the saniwa's land ok. ) Kinda, yeah.

At the end of the day though, we're swords 'n swords're more suited for fighting than farm work. But if ya fight all the time ya're gonna get tired after awhile so 's good to do do other things once in awhile.

[hoasen]

[A special amount of loaned out land! It's still going to a good cause.]

True. Fighting must come easy to you. Do you find any of this difficult, though?

[A vague gesture towards the fields.] It's all very well kept.

[newtimes]

Not really, nah. ( Of course, there are some challenges! But he isn't going to bore a pretty lady with those. Mutsu's a sharp (heh) guy! He can handle anything!!! ) 'S not too hard when ya've got a bunch of other guys helpin` ya out.

Which is why I can't take all the credit!

( BWAHAHAHA, look he's a loud and proud guy but when eh gets praise from someone nice, it's a little embarrassing, heh heh. )

[hoasen]

[OH HO SHARP. I GET IT. Though she gets it! He's part of a team, and they're all helping out.]

I see! You can all support each other. I guess you are all learning from each other too. But still! You worked hard, and it shows. Even with just these yams, no?

[TAKE THIS COMPLIMENT, DAMMIT.]

[newtimes]

Heh, stop it, ya're emabarrasin` me!

( No, really, this praise. )

[hoasen]

O-oh! [Waves her hands!!] It is not meant to embarrass you, I speak only the truth. You are very humble.

[Ah, it's just getting worse.]
