[The Citadel is huge, so it's a good thing they have all the time in the world to dick around.

--Well, no, they don't. But the point is, it's a free day. There will be absolutely no work done at all. Unless you want to or something. If you do, you're pretty weird.

The dojo is always open for sparring and practice. If there's any sparring errand you've slacked on, now's the chance to make up! The horse stables are also full of activity, whether the horses are being tended to or rode around-- be careful not to let them trample the fields, though, which is full of rice sprouts and budding cabbage. The lake in front of the saniwa(s)' room has tiny frogs jumping about, and you could catch them in the palm of your hand.

The kitchen is full of food, if you're volunteering to make lunch or have decided that meal time cannot possibly come any later and you simply must prepare something before you die from starvation. While there has been a considerable effort made to make the Citadel look as homely as possible to the swords which come from Japan's past, there's speckles of technology here and there.

The TV room is a good example, with a huge screen sitting on top of a few console systems. Don't break them, you'll only be getting this luxury once. Take turns and play nice. The swords may also find themselves tending the fields with water sprinklers and hoses instead of watering cans, for instance, or heating up some leftover pie in the fridge instead of making another one from scratch since there's technology to preserve food well over a week. The armory and smithy are definitely a little bit more modern than they'd be back in the past, though much is still made by hand-- nothing beats the fine work of a master. Perhaps you'll have a few new friends today, or you want to try creating a cute little soldier spirits to die for you accompany you in battle. Make sure they enter the orb completely, or else it'll turn brown and crack.

Or perhaps you're one of the unlucky swords still stuck in the repair room, sword body still being re-smelted and fixed. Hope the saniwa is good at making you all shiny. If you want to skip all that waiting, perhaps you can try to use a helper token... but they're all in the saniwa's room! Guess you've got to use that Camouflage stat...

But if you truly cannot bear with staying in the Citadel, the time device the saniwa(s) have isn't locked away. You can go on sorties or expeditions to fill your time with something productive.

Just a warning: don't change the past. You won't succeed.

...You could always try, though.]

Indeed... I hope that you will remember those words well!

[ Look who is volunteering at the repair room today! With a concerned frown across his face, Horikawa approaches the beautiful noble carefully. Mikazuki surely is so lovely... It makes him frown further to see him in such a state, no matter how minor. He examines the wound for a moment, then accompanies him gently to enter the room.

He runs a little ahead, picking up a comfortable pillow for Mikazuki to sit on. He pats it to invite the elegant sword to take it easy now. But... even though it's like this, he can understand why the other sword is always pushing himself. For the future, for the past, for their new master... They have a second chance to protect what's important for them. How can they back down from it? They will gladly die for their cause. Even so, it's still so sad to think about.

For as long as they can... Apart from that, Horikawa wants everyone to remember that they have each other as well. They can protect each other... That's why everyone's working together, right? He looks at Mikazuki with those big eyes of his, still spelling concern as he begins to unpack the repair kit. ]

[ Oh goodness, Horikawa was really too much for him. Such an endearing young sword.

Mikazuki will laugh at the small scolding. His smile bright and cheery as ever. It does not look as though he minds in the least. In fact, the look on his face makes it seem as though he is truly taking those words to heart. He never means to worry the others, as hard as he fights. Yet... things don't always turn out the way he expected them to be. though they could probably blame tsurumaru for that.
]

I shall carry them to the grave with me. [ Bad timing? Perhaps. But Mikazuki is just going to continue to laugh about it, anyway. Really, his sense of humor...

Though as he is being lead into the repair room, there will be a small limp in his step with each one he takes. Nothing too notable- but the older sword tries not to make a fuss as he finally sits down. Taking in the full comfort of the pillow Horikawa had so gracefully lied out for him.

Did I worry you? Truly, I apologize... [ Those eyes, man. Get them away. ]
