[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.
JUST STP I CAME BACK FOR YOu gets down on one knee hugs your leg ugh
Do you think so? If Hotarumaru appears here, I believe that I'd be able to ask him to help you carry one. He's a really good comrade, he can be counted on like the rest of them. [ Hotarumaru is like 3', Yamato really believes Kaoru's ass could carry that blade. It isn't that bad? Not at all. Not if he puts effort into it and he has that! Ugh, time to ask Apollo for his demon powers. ]
Please do, every blade may not have a human form but they can still feel everything else. [ Nodding. ] And I'm sure it would want to stay by your side as long as it can.
UGH ILL NEVER FORGET the time komyu abandoned me on the streets
It couldn't, so I think it'd be good for you? [ A nod as he continues to walk and voila, they're slowly going into the forest. Maybe I should have looked at the map because I can't remember if they passed the necessary areas but forest.. that's all that matters. ]
Adamant? Ah.. Am I? I'm sorry if that bothers you.. [ He's just very passionate. ] Is that a bad thing?
i can almost hear komyu now... it's like i was never abandoned...
A strong belief, huh, well, it's something that's true. You shouldn't ever neglect your blade, you don't know how much they might want to be with you.
[ He's being honest, listen little knife, don't become like Kashuu. ]
Before I gained this body, I was nothing but a blade so I couldn't show how I truly felt. I just hoped my master .. just knew, you know? That's how that small knife you have feels.
you went 2fast2furious and now look at where you are
[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.]
[ JUST STOP! THAT IS YAMATO'S PEOPLE? THAT LIL BAB MANSLAYER KITCHEN KNIFE IN KAORU'S HANDS!!! Fate. I hate this. ]
Yes, I can speak my mind now but there's so much to say and who's to know what place is the best to start. [ A pause he can't be gloomy forever. ] Did you know horses have such sparkly eyes? Do you think there's any in this place?
[ I can hear your brackets, punches you. Don't you dare! ]
But, may I ask what your home was like before you came here?
Ah— I wasn't aware of that, no. [What the fuck, who cares about horse eyes!! This weirdass sword, apparently. Kaoru regrets saying it's a good thing that he can speak his mind if this is the sort of thing he says.]
It was- [A thoughtful pause...] -In a time of duress, I suppose, and much farther behind than this city.
If we can find one here, I can show you? [ Wow, what a forest? It's twist and turns and how the animals hide in the bushes and trees. It's very dangerous out here so they should be on their guard but here is Yamato, talking about sparkly eyes and having a great time. ] Huh? I think I can tell, the way you dress shows the time frame that you come from. Those times really had a lot going on when it came to the law.. [ A nod.. yes. ]
I'm not certain that there are any horses here, sir.
[Monster horses, maybe? Kelpies?? Please don't show Kaoru a kelpie's eyes. But oh, Yamato's actually a little more observant than credited for initially! (Which is sad, considering it doesn't take a lot of observational skills at all to be able to figure out that Kaoru is dressed for the Edo era...)]
There are many divisive politics occurring, that much is true.
There are a lot of strange things here but.. they have weird rolling ones.. they're not horses. Something like carts? [ Take out the T and you got it! But man, he just want horse eyes but it's okay, he's going to get better eyes soon. ]
Huh? Like what? Do you think you could tell me? I remember the time where we had to protect the Shogunate, keeping them in power but we also had a lot on our plates. [ Ugh, rascals like Mutsunokami. Ugh. Who knows if he's still running, if Yamato closes his eyes, he can still hear his little pitter patters in the distance. ]
[Don't carts already roll? Isn't that the point?? Kaoru has no idea what the shit Yamato is talking about.
This is also probably a topic that shouldn't be discussed with new acquaintances, honestly. Politics and warfare! It's never pleasant. Good thing Kaoru doesn't care.]
Perhaps we're from a similar time period, then? It was Keio 3 for me. [Or about winter 1867, by the Western calendar.]
[Kaoru will understand someday... But for now, it's no dice, only confusion. also you're welcome japanese calendar is confusing af]
Ah? The biggest event? [HMMM...] There have been quite a lot of events and changes, recently... I suppose the death of the Emperor would be considered the biggest. [Kaoru's just a few months away from the battle of Toba-Fushimi and the start of the Boshin War, though! Exciting.]
The death of the Emperor.. I see.. [ UGH HE IS A FEW MONTHS AWAY. Yamato might have seen him in the time jumping that his Saniwa be doing. ]
That is something.. it's amazing when I think about it how close things are. [ As the trees rustle and the birds chirp. ] I think I finally understand now.
Hm? Well.. it depends. I've been to various times with the help of the Saniwa Sage of course. I'm just wondering if I ever saw you.. [ Ugh, Kaoru, the boy who doesn't exist. Like Harry Potter. ]
Does that mean you've visited other times that aren't your own before ever coming to Ryslig? [??? So he's a sword... But also a time-traveler. OKAY, YAMATO.]
Hm? Yes, I've been to many places but all the times are iffy but... I've seen many things.
[ He could probably talk about various areas but listen, his own World 6 meant the world to him. Forget the others!! IS KASHUU OKAY, UGH... did his squad kill him. ]
My Saniwa had the ability to do so, so we could prevent history from changing.
That sounds much more complicated than the sort of thing I'm dealing with in my own world.
[Kind of, anyway. Kaoru's dealing with vampires and potential genocide, but at least it's all in one time period! ...Mostly!! Demons live for ages okay, it has the potential to last centuries.]
[ What is this Hakuokitale!? By all means, he shakes his head. ] It's just we're on a mission, it's what we were given human bodies for. If I'm not doing what I was told to receive this body, I don't really feel like I should have it.
[ He has to work for this freebie! ] So it's never really seem complicated to me, work for what you can have in a sense.
[The historical war...!! Shockingly, there's a lot of Actual History going on in between all the samurai vampires and demons.]
I suppose that does make sense, though. [In a convoluted weird way??] It's just the concept itself that's a bit bizarre. We don't have anything like that in my world...
[Even though Kaoru is a demon, it's not like they're supernatural demons... It's Complicated.]

UGH ILL NEVER FORGET the time komyu abandoned me on the streets
[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.]
i DID NOT WHY DO YOU SPREAD LIES!
Adamant? Ah.. Am I? I'm sorry if that bothers you.. [ He's just very passionate. ] Is that a bad thing?
i can almost hear komyu now... it's like i was never abandoned...
[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.]
JUST WHAT THE FK STOP WHY ARE YOU TREATING M LIKE THIS I FORGOT TO CLOSE MY SMALL UGHH
[ He's being honest, listen little knife, don't become like Kashuu. ]
Before I gained this body, I was nothing but a blade so I couldn't show how I truly felt. I just hoped my master .. just knew, you know? That's how that small knife you have feels.

UGH IM PICKING YOU UP BC YOURE LIKE 5'3"

Ah— I wasn't aware of that, no. [What the fuck, who cares about horse eyes!! This weirdass sword, apparently. Kaoru regrets saying it's a good thing that he can speak his mind if this is the sort of thing he says.]
It was- [A thoughtful pause...] -In a time of duress, I suppose, and much farther behind than this city.
STOP DOING THIS ugh i know your true height
If we can find one here, I can show you? [ Wow, what a forest? It's twist and turns and how the animals hide in the bushes and trees. It's very dangerous out here so they should be on their guard but here is Yamato, talking about sparkly eyes and having a great time. ] Huh?

Huh? Like what? Do you think you could tell me? I remember the time where we had to protect the Shogunate, keeping them in power but we also had a lot on our plates. [ Ugh, rascals like Mutsunokami. Ugh. Who knows if he's still running, if Yamato closes his eyes, he can still hear his little pitter patters in the distance. ]

[Don't carts already roll? Isn't that the point?? Kaoru has no idea what the shit Yamato is talking about.

Perhaps we're from a similar time period, then? It was Keio 3 for me. [Or about winter 1867, by the Western calendar.]
IT IS A WIG!!
[ Ugh, has she seen them? They look so weird? Please understand that even Yamato finds them rather different. ]
Huh? [ I don't know what that means, thank you Aki for western timing. ] Are you really from that time! What was the biggest event of that place?
STOP ITS TIME FOR YOU TO GO
Ah? The biggest event? [HMMM...] There have been quite a lot of events and changes, recently... I suppose the death of the Emperor would be considered the biggest. [Kaoru's just a few months away from the battle of Toba-Fushimi and the start of the Boshin War, though! Exciting.]
UGH STPP WAHT DI DI DO WRONG WALUIGI
That is something.. it's amazing when I think about it how close things are. [ As the trees rustle and the birds chirp. ] I think I finally understand now.

Hm? I'm not certain what you mean by that. Were you from a similar time, perhaps?
IM A BROKEN HEARTED WALUIGI NOW...
Hm? Well.. it depends. I've been to various times with the help of the Saniwa Sage of course. I'm just wondering if I ever saw you.. [ Ugh, Kaoru, the boy who doesn't exist. Like Harry Potter. ]
BUT ARE U ALSO A COLD WALUIGI
Does that mean you've visited other times that aren't your own before ever coming to Ryslig? [??? So he's a sword... But also a time-traveler. OKAY, YAMATO.]
