I don't think many people have weapons anymore.

( He can't help but sigh a bit. It's nice! A world that doesn't need weapons sounds like a good one to him. )

Mm! A tsukumogami is a spirit. It starts off as a thing-- a doll or a music box, even a pair of sandals! After 100 birthdays, it gains a soul. The spirit born from the thing is a manifestation of the care it was given... or the care it never received. That was me before I came here. I was a special sword.
