And Tantos would be the smallest, yes.

[haw]

[ nod!! ]

Heh, I know a thing or two 'bout swords. I was tellin' Yasu-kun 'bout the tantou I got back home.

[daifukus]

[ he perks up. weapon?? weapon??? ]

Oh?

[haw]

—Damn, are all of ya really like this any time someone mentions a sword?

[ it was the exact same with yams, too... ]

[daifukus]

[ eheh ]

I suppose the excitement of meeting potential comrades gets to us.

[ excitable puppies, all of them. ]

[haw]

Guess that's fair... it—uh, he—isn't here with me, though. I was originally thinkin' nobody wanted me havin' an unfair advantage, but when Ishikiri-jisan showed up with his hugeass sword, I was really startin' to feel I got the short end of the stick.

[daifukus]

Haha... I'm frankly a little surprised we've all been allowed to keep our true bodies. [ then again, destroying one destroys the other so hm ]

But I can only imagine how worried he must be if time has passed since you've left.

[ master's suddenly disappearing is always a cause for concern- especially if hey suddenly end up in someone else's possession. ]

[haw]

The gods in my game told us we'd be gettin' sent back at the exact time we left... but I dunno how this whole add-on is gonna affect things.

[daifukus]

I could not say. With the possibility of changing our endings, we may end up where we started or right where we left.

[ timelines!! ]

[haw]

[ he tilts his head. ]

Aren't you guys kinda used to time travelin' anyway? Least that's the impression I got from Ishikiri-jisan and Yasu-kun both.

[daifukus]

[ just because they're used to it doesn't mean keeping timelines straight is any easier, majima!!! ]

We are but the end result is always trying to keep what already has happened, happened. Changing it else wise is usually the last thing we wish for.

[haw]

...'cause of time paradoxes?

[ i'm like 90% sure he didn't get the revisionist lore ]

[daifukus]

[ how have i had to explain so much sword lore?? why is everyone like this!!! tonbo stop being so honest!!!! ]

There is another group other than ourselves and our enemies known as kebiishi. Their duty is to remove any foreign presence from time whether it is to disrupt it or to repair it.

Thus, it is for all of our sakes to keep things as they were unless we wish to face them in battle.

[haw]

... Well, why don'tcha just let these kebiishi things sort stuff out if that's their job in the first place?

[daifukus]

[ his expression says usually they're in the way when the kebiishi finally decide to show up. ]

When it's a logical step to take, sometimes we do.

[ and then they run for their lives ]
