[UGH WHY. Be happy with recruiting the people you've already recruited!!]
You'll be the first that I speak with if I ever have an interest, I promise you that. [Well... It's not a lie.]
It would be fair fortune indeed if we managed to find a way out in the open like that. [Ie "haha nah", because at least one other person surely would have discovered it themselves by now. Surely!!] But looking couldn't hurt. Shall we go, then? I'll follow your lead, sir.
[Time to leave the market behind and move on to better things!!]

[Ugh gross, why. Why is he so determined, too!! What a punk.]
I will. [In response to "stay close by". Kaoru doesn't care about the friendship part, gosh.]
Ah... [Self-protection, though... THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION. It's an irritating situation here, honestly; back home, Kaoru doesn't need anything but bare fists for self-defense. Being a stupid overpowered anime demon has its benefits... But here, as a squishy and fragile human, Kaoru actually needs to carry other weapons around. It clashes with the pretty princess image! But it's better to raise some eyebrows than be caught unaware and defenseless.]
I do, yes. I'm not very adept at handling blades, but I'll do my best if we get into a difficult situation.

[UGH no rejection for now. For now.]
Thank you, sir. [Now Kaoru won't have to worry about getting lost, at least! Though apparently worrying about Yamato being caught without a weapon is a legitimate thing? Wow. Some sword spirit!]
To be honest, I'm not proficient in any weaponry. It wasn't a necessity for me to learn the martial arts at home, so I never picked up much beyond the basics... I wouldn't mind learning a little more here, though.
[Will Kaoru be able to pull the wool over Yamato's eyes, though?! WILL A BLADE SPIRIT BELIEVE SOMEONE WHEN THEY SAY "I DON'T KNOW HOW TO USE SWORDS" and then tries to pretend they can't use swords?? Mysteries that will soon be solved, perhaps.]

do you have a bad experience with cats or something?
but if youre going to share a house with someone, you ve got to make compromises like that i think
so if other people are uncomfortable with a change
it might be best to undo it
once it gets warmer maybe you can sleep in your tree again?
or something like that anyway
you dont have to treat me to anything though
birthdays are the day youre born!
i guess for you it would be the exact day you were uh
forged
ist hat the right word?
people celebrate with parties and cake and giving gifts
i never really had a birthday party though
i guess people give presents because theyre happy youve made it through anotehr year maybe?
im not really sure
but its kind of nice dont you think?
yeah mikazuki said you were pretty "young' but to me that seems kind of old!
im only sixteen or seventeen i think
i cant even imagine remembering that many years
[Maybe a hint to an explanation as to what's wrong with Yamatonokami Yasusada...]
but yeah if you want to wear that over it i dont mind
as long as you take care of yourself
so thats what happened to it...
why dont you like tvs?

[For now!!!!!]
Not necessarily... Though I suppose spears or other, larger blades would be too much for me to wield. [Kaoru's like 5'2"?? Even a tachi would be a struggle, honestly.]
Though I do know of at least one proficient spear-wielder from my home. Rather, I don't know him personally, but his skill is quite infamous. [Haha Harada Sanosuke.]
—Correct, but it's nothing impressive. [And out Kaoru pulls-- a kitchen knife! It was carefully tucked away in fabric so as not to cut.]

[Kaoru doesn't have the fortune of being that tall and is instead otome protag size. TERRIBLE.]
Wielding a sword of that size would surely be impossible for me. [NO WAY. Well, yes way if Kaoru still had all of those fancy demon capabilities, BUT OTHERWISE NO WAY.
Anyway, the question is just met with a brief nod but no actual given name, because who wants to talk about Harada anyway??]
Ah— [Oh right this nutterbutter thinks he's a sword or something.] ...I promise to take very good care of it.

i see
as for the monster stuff...
im working on it
i want to change back the people who want to be changed back
i want the people who want to go home to go home
i just havent' figured out how to do it yet
i dont want these gods to have the power to keep messing with us like this
i guess if you dont remember the exact day you were forged
its probably ok to just pick a day you like and celebrate it as your birthday once a year
my birthday's january 1st
so people kind of forget it since its the same day as the new year
thats fine though since like i said
really justme and my parents celebrated it
i didnt have a lot of friends when i was a kid
but i think as saniwa
i get to decide when to give you gifts right?
and im sure youve been working really hard all the time
so its fine
as for my age...
its kind of complicated
not really hte kind of thing i want to type out on this laptop you know?
but if you want
next time we meet up i can try to explain it to you
but yeah im a lot younger than you guys even if i dont know exactly how much
i have one for myself already and...
it was probably just a show on the tv...
it didnt want to actually be destroyed
that's what tvs are, they show like
recorded programs and stuff
kind of like plays except you can watch them whenever you want instead of going somewhere fancy

UGH ILL NEVER FORGET the time komyu abandoned me on the streets

I suppose it couldn't hurt to try...
[No, it will hurt. IT'S A BAD IDEA and Kaoru isn't about to try it any time soon. Time to start ignoring and avoiding anyone named Hotarumaru!!]
...You're very adamant about this, sir. [About blades having feelings. Why?? Why. Wh does Kaoru always get stuck with the nutterbutters.]

If you say so.
[HA HA disbelief. Ah, a magic forest, though! Excellent. Also, giving him a sidelong glance because what the fuck Yamato, why is he like this?]
It's just a very unusual thing to believe in so firmly, that's all. There isn't anything wrong with a strong belief in something. [Sometimes, anyway.]

no way
im not trusting any so-called "god" in this place
koizumi told me when i first got here that the fourth god is turning people into monsters just like the fog god
ive said it before havent i?
im not letting anyone take control of my future again
im not giving this god power just to have it lorded over us
im not letting myself or anyone i care about be used as pawns in anybody elses power struggle ever again

january 1st is in about 2 months
its ok
youre probably from before the western calendar started getting used right?
as for my friends...
thats another complicated story
lets just say i didnt used to be a very confident person
but yeah dont destroy tvs unless someone outside the tv tells you to
nothing the tvs themselves say can actually do anything, its not really real
[WOW. Kaoru will break this knife on purpose, go away.]
I suppose that would make sense... Being unable to say something can be an awful feeling. At the very least, it's good that you're able to speak your mind now, correct?
[Even if Okita's dead by now, oops!! Or dead in Yamato's time, anyway... He's still alive in Kaoru's, but Kaoru is trying to fix that.]
