[ When he first awakens in his bed in the sword apartment he doesn’t even register that he’s out of the jungle or the beach. The pain that fills every fiber of his being is the only thing that actually matters right now. His back feels like it’s on fire still, albeit the pain isn’t as severe, after a session of healing he got on the beach itself. He just remembers those flames of heat coming towards them and the sound of that large explosion behind them.
Still the pain was enough to have him sit up and grimace in pain as he looks around for Sayo first and foremost. ]

Sayo?! [ his voice is concerned and worried as he looks around for his younger brother. Has he been returned here as well?! ]

[ Once he’s not on his death bed Kousetsu is just basically chilling in the living room when he has the energy to move around and actually do thing. He’s more or less just sitting in there playing a copycat game akin to animal crossing. It’s one of the more desirable games he’s found. At least there’s no violence…and it was peaceful. So he’s just going to do gardening inside when he can’t actually leave the house yet. Totally the same thing. ]

[ Upon being almost 100% healed and back in good shape (after a few days at least) you might happen across the sword spirit in his wanderings. He is very keenly looking into the window of the various cybuddy shops lining the streets. Most of them are damaged or in the process of being rebuilt but Kousetsu is missing his bird a good deal, so he’s just doing some window shopping for now to find a replacement for Shiro, ah.

The same goes for the food stop wherein he will be buying various dessert foods, way too much for a normal person to eat, and possible other foods as well. The ingredients he’s carrying around look like something for a Japanese hotpot. He is no stranger to the amounts of food the other swords eat so…it’s a lot of food. A hotpot was easy to make and it might be a good way to get everyone into a better mood after all that's happened. Feel free to bother him or even lend a hand?! He’s still not 100% better so he’ll be taking periodic breaks while walking back to the apartments. Perhaps he’ll even invite you to dinner if you ask nicely! ]

[She's taking a break from work! After all of that, she didn't want to go back into it so quickly, since there's a lot of things she needs to finalise first. After finishing her errands, she saw Kousetsu loking around at the windows of CYbuddies. In particular, a store she often did some grooming work for.]

Hello, Kousetsu! Are you looking for a new one?

[ Taking breaks is not something either of them is used to. Kousetsu is hard working and taking breaks is unacceptable?! But Haru insisted so he has no choice but to do so. ]

...yes I am. Shiro was...destroyed in the explosion. So I wish to...find another like him if possible.

[ His poor cybuddy, he knew thee well. ] Are you looking for something as well, Vietnam-san?

[Exactly, this is so strange, but at the same time healthy!]

Ah, that is a shame. [Even though it isn't a real life, it certainly feels like it some the CYbuddies have such good programming.]

I happened to be walking past, but I can help you find a suitable CYbuddy friend? I sometimes do some work here.

[ Kousetsu was certianly a little bummed by it. He really had started to form a close bond with the cybuddy. Even if at first he thought them weird, he was growing accustomed to their robotic strangeness.

But here he'll bow a little at the offer for help. So serious Kousetsu. ]

I would...greatly appreciate that, Vietnam-san. If you are not busy, I do not wish to keep you from your own duties.

[Pets, the pet life! This is what happens when you grow attached...especially such well behaved ones.]

It's fine. I have a lot of spare time lately. [She's taken some time off on purpose.] Shall we go in?

[ He nods as he goes to open the door for her to let her in first. ]

If they have another bird like Shiro I would not mind that... [ But he's not picky when it comes to animals, tbh. ]

Oh, thank you. [She bows her head in gratitude before she steps in, waiting for him to follow and enter.]

I think there is one similar, let us go check. The bird-like CYbuddies should be closer to the back. [She moves towards the strange aviaries made for bird CYbuddies?!]

Thank you for...helping me, Vietnam-san. I am not very good when it comes to...these types of things.

[ Technology in general is still strange and foreign to him. ] But I am trying to better understand how this technology works.

[Quickly waving her hands!] Do not worry, I too did not know where to start in the beginning. I only grew to get used to it. CYBuddies do not exist where I am from, either.

But you can treat them like pets, and choosing one is exactly the same. I believe they feel the same way too.
