Do you think swords are boring? Someone told me that. I don't think its true. ( He sounds a little annoyed too but not too much. It's more like a kid whining than anything else. ) You know, there are a lot of different kinds of swords and that's really interesting!

For example, I use a wakizashi. It's short so it can't reach very far but that means I can move a lot easier in small places. I have to work harder to get close to my opponent but if I can do it and their weapon is too big, they won't be able to hit me very well. I think it's fun to see how close I can get.

I've also seen a sword that was a thousand years old! I think it was magic too but I don't know. Isn't that cool? There are a lot of different types of swords and even more styles so it's fun to learn about them.

( There's a bit of silence. He's thinking about what he just said. It's really cool, right? And not boring at all? )

Hey! Does anyone want to practice with me? It'll be fun. I'm pretty sharp, heh heh heh~

( And quietly, at the very end, there's a mutter, )

It'll be more fun than practicing math... ... Aaaah! I didn't mean to say that...!

That's good. At least you can say you gave it a try.

I have thought of trying my hand with others, but it does feel strange using anything else.

[minogame]

Mm! I want to get better at it some day since some of my friends use regular swords.
Do you think we can practice? I'm not too bad! You'll just have to go a little easy on me.

[replicatedform]

If you want to practice, I'm up for it anytime. I could give you some tips as well, I guess.

I'll try to go easy on you.

["Try"]

[minogame]

Really? I'd like that!

You better! I'm a treasure, you know!

[replicatedform]

Yeah. As long you don't mind hearing them from me.

"Treasure"? To who, your god?

[minogame]

( There's a long pause between responses. That isn't what he meant but it's a good question. Does Nari treasure him? )

I think so. He likes me a lot and takes care of me so he must. What do you think?

[replicatedform]

[Okay, that pause is just long enough for him to wonder what's going on.]

I'd say so? If your god is like that, you're probably treasured by him?

[minogame]

( It's only long because he's never had to think about it before. )

Yeah! If he didn't like me, I'd be able to tell, right?

What about you? Does your god take care of you?

[replicatedform]

My god?

She does. I'm still fairly new, but she's been kind to me. I hope that I'd be able to help her in return as her shinki.

[minogame]

That's good. I'd be sad if you had a bad god. What are you doing to help her right now?

[replicatedform]

[What he's doing... He remembers talking about this with another shinki.]

At the moment, helping her with prayers. I'm thinking of helping out around the temple as well.

[minogame]

Good! Sometimes I help out Nari too and he really likes it. I bet she'll like it too!

[replicatedform]

Hopefully, she will. I mean, wouldn't it be strange for a god to clean their own temple?

[... You know, Sakura probably would do that, based on what he sees of her so far.]

[minogame]

Nari does. I think he likes being busy.

But I live here too so I want to help where I can. Especially since he does a lot, you know?
