"Don't talk to me, you counterfeit."

"But you asked me a question, and yet you expect me not to answer. How hilarious, Mr Genuine."

Veins popped out, as they looked at each other in annoyance. Hachisuka then put his hand on the handle of his sword.

"Want to fight?"

"I have lots of free time." Nagasone did not fret, as he too put his hand on his blade.

"Both of you!"

Looking at the source of the voice, Hasebe was standing on the porch, with their master beside him. Ordering them back from the practice grounds, she then started her long nag.

"Hachisuka, if the real me is currently working in the modern world, would you despise me because the master you're seeing in this citadel is a paper doll with spiritual power infused?"

Shaking his head, the purple-haired sword then glanced at the latter.

"Nagasone, what is that something that Uguisumaru always wanted to tell us?"

"To not care about what others say, Aruji."

She gave a small sigh.

"I apologise for giving trouble to Aruji." Nagasone said while bowing down.

"There's a reason as to why I put you two together for sparring today." She closed her eyes before continuing. "Settle this argument, and finish up your sparring. Hasebe, keep them under your watch until they finish up. If they argue again, take your sword and cut them down."

"As you wish, Aruji."

Leaving for the office, Hasebe then looked at the two swords who kept quiet.

"It would be good if both of you can start your sparring rounds without any arguments." Hasebe said as he sat down and rested his sword against his shoulder.

"I'd still like a challenge even after this argument."

"Hmph, thank me for agreeing on this sparring, counterfeit."

"Aruji."

Sliding the door, his master was buried deep in paperwork, as he entered the office and knelt down.

"What-"

"I deeply apologise for the trouble I stirred up during the sparring."

Setting the pen down, she stood up and walked up towards him, squatting down.

"It's the past anyway, don't mind about it. Here, stand up." Grabbing his shoulders, she forced him to stand up as she looked at him.

"Have you not been sleeping well, Aruji?" Nagasone asked, noticing dark eye circles forming under her tired eyes.

"It's nothing, I had insomnia the past few days."

"Shall I finish up the work for Aruji? Please take care of your body."

"Then.. I'll trouble you then, Nagasone. Thanks." Stretching her limbs, she went to the other room, which was her own private room.

"Good that you are observant, Nagasone." Hasebe said and smiled, as the latter sat on the chair and started finishing the paperwork.

"How could I call myself Aruji's sword if I can't even notice such details?"
