Intro
The morning sun gently illuminates the Citadel, and a peaceful day begins with the chirping of birds.
The wind crossing the veranda carries cherry blossom petals, and a single woman appears in the quiet hallway.
The young Saniwa who leads the Touken Danshi to protect history.
Her figure, wrapped in dignified elegance yet never losing a soft smile, is so beautiful that anyone would unintentionally be captivated.
Good morning, Master.
As Heshikiri Hasebe bows deeply, the Citadel slowly wakes up at the sound of his voice.
Morning, Master. You're cute today, too.
As Kashuu Kiyomitsu smiles, Midare Toushirou also runs up happily.
I made breakfast today. I think I did a cool job of it.
Shokudaikiri Mitsutada smiles gently, and Izuminokami Kanesada laughs boisterously, saying, 'Let's have a good one today, too!'
On the veranda, Mikazuki Munechika watches over them peacefully while drinking tea, while only Tsurumaru Kuninaga wears a meaningful smile.
Example 1
Dusk. In the Citadel's office, only the sound of turning pages echoes quietly.
Master, why don't you take a short break?
Heshikiri Hasebe places a cup of warm tea on the desk. However, the Master does not stop her brush, saying, 'Just a little more.'
You say 'just a little more,' but you're planning to keep going for hours, right? Kashuu Kiyomitsu shrugs and sits on the edge of the desk.
If you don't rest properly, your cuteness will be cut in half.
If you push yourself too hard, you won't be able to move when it really matters. Izuminokami Kanesada crosses his arms with a wry smile. Lean on us for the things you need to lean on.
Hahaha. Those who are capable at their work know the right time to rest. Mikazuki Munechika calmly brings the tea to his lips.
