Yes...! Kanesan- ah, Izuminokami Kanesada is my partner. As a wakizashi, we are meant to aid in battle and now in flesh, I do the same in everyday life.
[ i mean hori will keep talking about kanesan regardlessly so ]
We all were created with a specific purpose in mind whether for offense or defense, close range or distant. It's only fitting that those of us of opposing purposes were meant to complement each other.
But as a sword, it was only in battle but now it's whatever he needs help with. [ that face sure says he loves him but kanesan is a disaster of a sword no matter how cool he thinks he is ] As one would expect from an assistant you could say...!
Yes, I suppose so. [ in the tone of voice of someone who has never personally met an assistant, but: ] If I may ask, sir, for what reason were you and your partner given form?
Our enemy has ways to travel through time and thus we follow after them, doing our best to keep them from changing it too drastically from what history has recorded it as.
Yes....! That's it exactly. We go wherever we're needed, though mostly to the periods we would be most familiar with. So for example, to the Edo period when the shinsengumi were in power.
[ is he the first to get An Emotion out of her other than murder...? ]
So you don't know the details yet... it's still a mystery. How fascinating. And are there many of you fighting for this cause, or is it simply yourself and your partner?
[ she's going to learn hori's name solely so she can ask him more questions about swords and i hate this ]
There are a great deal many of us and not enough of us at the same time. But a good number of historic swords have come to our citadel of late, from the holiest to some darker swords of legend.
Yes..! Our home when we are not away on missions and traveling throughout the history of Japan. All of us but our master who summoned us are a sword of some sort. From the smallest tanto to the tallest yari, there's a little bit of everything represented right now.
[and this isn't even getting into the time government shit ]
[ he lights up like a christmas tree. OH BOY WAXING POETICALLY ABOUT ARUJI, HIS SECOND FAVORITE PERSON ]
Mm! The person who all summoned us is our master. ... Our second if you count the person who first wielded us. They are the keeper of the citadel we live in...!
They are...! It's certainly not easy keeping watch over all of us either.
Though I've never been able to determine if they inherited the land or how they came to own it. Given how large and self sufficient it is I'm sure aruji has some sort of means.
[ though lbr it's (probably?) a government property than exists outside of time how do you even begin to explain that level of nonsense ]
Very Large. The grounds we live in must over many acres and with the stables, and gardens and the shrines and aruji's building itself..... I couldn't even begin to say.
[ so basically the size of a medium esque mansion and The Works™ ]

[ she doesn't sound like she finds it fascinating, but she looks interested enough?? ]
Do you only aid your partner in battle, or with all tasks?

To protect history from those who wish to change it for their own gain.
no subject
And how do you accomplish that?
no subject
Our enemy has ways to travel through time and thus we follow after them, doing our best to keep them from changing it too drastically from what history has recorded it as.
no subject
Ah. So it's quite literally protecting history from change. So you are ... fighting time travelers.
[ is that a glint of excitement in her eyes? no, that can't be ]
no subject
[ is he the first to get An Emotion out of her other than murder...? ]
no subject
It makes sense to protect history by traveling back through it, yes. Who is trying to change it? Do you know why?
[ he can't see it ... but her tail is twitching a little ]
no subject
Our enemies are rather mysterious. They wish to change history as we know it but their reasoning for it seems to just be for own favor.
[ ie, not even we know what the true sword lore reasons are ]

Did they create the citadel as well? You called them its keeper.
