How do you know what matters or not?

[unfriendliest]

If it's something like your surprises or whatever the tantous are going on about that day, it doesn't matter.

[ he's mean ]

[preowned]

You're going to make me think you didn't actually miss me.

[ tsuru knows he did but beegun ]

[unfriendliest]

We'll see, when we get home.

[ xoxo ]

[preowned]

[ tsuru is screaming on the inside ]

... are you ready for the mission once you're back?

[ he remembers that kara had said they were heading out to one. ]

[unfriendliest]

Of course. I won't let the Revisionists harm the Date, and I won't let any of us break again.

[ once in a while he still wonders - would tsuru have been okay, if the omamori the saniwa had given him hadn't vanished when they'd arrived? would it retain its power here? where had it even gone?

but it's not like it matters now. all he can do is focus on what's ahead of him. ]

[preowned]

I think now there's even more reason to succeed. It'll be a shame, to be stuck here for several weeks just to go home to lose.

[ he doesn't think that kara would fail though. ]

[unfriendliest]

Do you really think I would let us lose, when the Date are the targets?

[ he's a little offended?? ]

[preowned]

... no. I think you'll do everything you can.

[ and that's one of the reasons why tsuru hasn't told kara the truth about things. because it's that devotion to the date that got kara in trouble, and what made tsuru dive in the way of him.

he might be making a mistake in not being honest, but he's already decided about this and hasn't had any reason to change his mind. ]

[unfriendliest]

I will.

[ for the time he spent with the family, he treasures them as much as they did him. it isn't often that someone sticks by him for so long. even mitsutada had left, but never the date. ]

Afterward, we can talk to the saniwa about all... this. They might have an idea of what's going on.

[preowned]

... even if they don't, it would be good to warn them of this kind of thing.

It's something we should try to prepare for somehow.

[unfriendliest]

Yeah.

[ is there really a way to do that, though? their master hadn't warned them about this at all - unless this is what they meant about facing "new enemies." that's too vague, though, even for them.

ah, but. that wasn't the only reason he wanted to talk to them after this, was it? ]

...I wanted to ask them if they know a way to travel between worlds, too.

[preowned]

[ tsuru's first thought is, if that's possible, then kara is going to immediately find him to punch him ]

Will you visit Lili?

[unfriendliest]

[ he's not wrong, kara is going to be furious when he finds out ]

...If there's a way to make it work, then yeah, I will. And maybe Shess, if he doesn't mind.

[preowned]

He probably wouldn't. But you should show them the citadel!

[ meet all of the swords, even if seeing the tsuru and jiji there would be awkward ]

[unfriendliest]

I haven't talked about it much with Shess, but I did tell Lili I'd show her around, if I could.

...I think they'd like her.

[ the other swords, he means. ookurikara would never hear the end of bringing home a friend, but it might be worth it, just this once. ]

[preowned]

She'd fit in very well, wouldn't she?

[ honestly if it wasn't for the fact that she's a girl then lili is very sword energy ]

[unfriendliest]

Yeah. She'd probably want to spar with all of us, though.

[ he sounds pretty amused by that... for kara, anyway. ]

And she wanted to see Gokotai's tigers, too.

[preowned]

[ ah, gokotai is there. that's nice to hear. ]

She'd enjoy that. She can also finally taste Mitsu-bou's cooking.

[unfriendliest]

[ and that’s where he finally breaks into a smile ]

I asked her to show him how to make her seafood stew. They’ll both like that.

[preowned]

[ pure.......... ]

All of the dishes he knows are Japanese, so he'd be excited to learn about other ones.

[unfriendliest]

That’s what I thought, too. I asked her to teach me so I could show him myself, but…

[ she died that same night, so there was never a chance. it's that thought that makes the smile drop away again ]

...It would be better, coming from her.

[preowned]

[ wow dana is evil

he just nods. ]

She can show you both at once.

[unfriendliest]

[ haha yea ]

It'll be better from MItsutada.

[preowned]

But I think she'll have more fun if you're helping.

And you'll want to learn it too, right?
