Touken Ranbu x Saniwa Readers!

40. Tachi - Ichigo Hitofuri (LEMON ONESHOT)

Shout out to rozu-kawaii for requesting this chapter. And if you are curious of the chapter number in front of the swords name, that was their sequence of arrival to the citadel based on Touken Ranbu Hanamaru. From now, if I receive a request from you guys, I will skip to the requested chapters and will reorganise my chapters after I finished the previous chapters. Thanks :)

___________________________________________
In the second floor of the citadel, you focusing all your energy into a paper doll witten 'Sa' on top of it. To summon a new sword, you need to embed your magic powers into the paper to replace you from getting out of your room and wasting your time to summon the sword. Those precious time could be used in other matter possible.

These technique of your has been used since the first manifesting here, Kashuu Kiyomitsu. This proven to actually cut much more time needed especially rarer swords. The only downside of this way of manifesting is the more rarer the sword, more energy is needed. Failing to do so results in failure of summoning a new sword.

This already been several times since you try to summon the only tachi from the Awataguchi group, Ichigo Hitofuri. The tantous and wakizashi has long been waiting for their oldest brother to manifests here. Their laughter and happy energy seemed to decrease the longer they wait for him.

The citadel almost turned gloomy by the sad mood around them, since they are the ones who make your day with their vibes. Hearing from Yagen, the second eldest, that Ichigo was really loving and caring, just like a prince.

Those were the reason you getting more and more curious and trying all your might to summon him, no matter what it takes. You can feel your eyes is getting heavier and heavier as times goes since your energy were sucked from your body. Suddenly, everything went black and you lose conciousness.

When you finally regain your energy, you realised that night has fallen. Cold summer air and chirping of the cicadas really makes you feel calm, just for a while before your heart races.

'Please, just for this once. Please work' you plead to the God as you place the paper doll on top of the base sword you smithed before.

Blinding light filled the room, making your eyes hurt and you cover your eyes with the sleeve of your kimono. The light soon to be gone before you notice a handsome figure with mint hair, crouching to help you stand. You widen your eyes as you gazed on his face, completely admiring the beautiful sword.

"Are you okay? I am sorry to caused you trouble. My name is Ichigo Hitofuri and I will be honored to serve you, Aruji-sama." with a bow and litlle smile, you nod. Deep inside your heart, a tingling sensation like butterflies in your stomach were present everytime you glances on his face.

You cleared your throat as a way to clear your mind from any thoughts about the handsome prince in front of you. Explaining everything for him to do inside the citadel, his scope of works as a touken danshi and giving him the sacred bell, he excuse himself to rest for the day.

Closing the door of your room, you blushed really hard. How can a mortalized object be so dreamy like that. Yagen was true after all, he seriously like a prince charming. Love on the first sight, you kept remembering his smile, burning it down into your precious memory.

You lifted your face up from the compiter screen, the sorting and reviewing job ain't easy. As you evaluating the skills of the swords, you passed by ichigo's information on your table. He surely can keep it up fast, he's been here for not even a month but his skills as a leader is exceptional. You kept making him the captain for sorties a few times already.
