There isn't much that I want, and I have no need for what is in the entertainment district.

[Divine swords don't need earthly attachments.]

A shrine, I see. It might be hard on him to take care of it alone, perhaps I shall lend him an extra pair of hands.

[Have to make sure the gods here are happy.

hello naughty kogis its harae tama-

[aslyfox]

[ This is not the time for misogi, okay?! ]

Good! You should try to catch him before he leaves for the day. And yes, no one needs what's in the entertainment district! All you need is right here.

[ ... uhhhh don't read into that too much. Anyway, Kogi hands Ishikirimaru the remote. ]

You use this to change channels. There's many of them, so just explore? Don't break it, though. It's not like we can buy a new one every week...

[ ugh yamato ]

[sacredstoneslicer]

[There is never a bad time for misogi.

Jiiiiiiji]

Thank you. I understand, I will take care of it, do not worry.

[Ishikirimaru is not the type to stab his problems. Cleave maybe, but he's no Yamato.

Plus he is experienced to handling ritual tools, if they broke constantly they would be needing donations by the truckload.]

I suppose it would be a useful device...

[aslyfox]

It will be! Just watch out, Mutsu-kun and some of the other swords... they very much love their time in front of the television, okay? Don't let them bully you.

But at least let Haru watch what he wants? He likes to read out here, okay? He'll sometimes just leave it on and do other things.

[ Kogi stands up, stretches out. Ishikirimaru is the best one to keep the new television safe. Shrine or not, he's probably more reliable than most of the other swords (Kogi included). ]

And it's very useful. It makes time pass when there's nothing else to do!

[sacredstoneslicer]

They seem to enjoy using this, I see. It's fine, seeing them enjoying themselves is already an enjoyment in itself.

[Young kids and their fancy shiny TVs, back in the Heian period where all they had was poetry and reading...]

Do you like using it as well?

[aslyfox]

[ Don't go all 'back in my day' on Kogitsunemaru. He's pretty grandpa-ish himself. If anyone can adapt... ]

When I'm able to, yes! You should sit with me sometime in the evening and watch a cooking show with me? I'm helping manage a restaurant and I get great ideas!

[ The little fox even takes notes! Like, 'don't mix chocolate and fried tofu' or 'cheese doesn't fix everything'. Also, cheese is weird. ]

[sacredstoneslicer]

[They know how the TV-less times were like, please help this fellow Sanjo bro.]

I'll be happy to, once I get my duties done. I'm surprised you have taken up a job, do we all have to earn our worth here?

[Fermented white bodily fluid solids extracted from the udders of female cows. Delicious.]

[aslyfox]

[ Kogi will do all the helping, don't you worry! He can make time for Ishikirimaru... ]

Well, without one, we can't buy things. Haruji-dono is a student, so he's not always around. In fact, most of us have jobs! Weren't you assigned one too?

[ ... the way you put it... shiver ]

[sacredstoneslicer]

As a shrine caretaker, yes, but it is no different from what I have done before. I wonder if I should be taking up more duties...

[The saniwa being a student, and putting the childlike tantos to work would not be too fair on them.

Ishikirimaru feels the weight of responsibility, and he is willing to shoulder some more if needed. A shrine needs its donations, sad to say they can't fix themselves.]

[aslyfox]

Do as much as you can. The fortunate thing is that the ones that manage this city seem to be benevolent, at times.

Besides, we all share duties at home. While we may not have the same goal as before, we are still allies and family, yes?

[ And he gives the oodachi a few gentle pats on the back. ]
