The first time I saw him was at the forge room, where I just started my career as a Saniwa a few hours ago. Taking the gleaming blade into my hands, I concentrated my powers.

I, Kiyomura Harune, shall grant life into thee sword! Awaken!

Soon a light grew and shone brightly. Before I realised, a man was standing in front of me, clad in a mustard-coloured kimono along with a grey hakama. He was tall; with well-toned muscles and a relatively handsome face. Once he noticed that someone was standing in front of him, he looked into my dark orbs before bowing and greeting me.

"The fox, Kogitsunemaru has arrived. Although my name means 'small fox', I am not small at all! Please take care of me, Nushi-sama."

I was awed by him, not just his words but everything. From clothes to words, I realised that I was falling into his charm. He just looked so great in all aspects. 

The fox tried to get my attention back by calling me 'Nushi-sama' quite a few times before I came back to my senses, realising that I haven't gave a proper introduction.

"Hello, I am Kiyomura Harune! Please take care of me!" Quickly bowing down, I said, not wanting to sound rude. A small chuckle was heard before he squatted down to match my height

"Don't be flustered, Nushi-sama! I am a gentle fox, so let's work together!".

I certainly knew that my work would be more exciting in the future.
