Saniwa A****
It's been 2 years since he come back to his citadel unexpectedly, sending the place on uproars. The tantous bewilderment, and also, the sound of some raging toudans 'practice boxing' on the said saniwa making him as punchbag to relieve the abandonment stress.
The first event that he does after he got back home is the Special Investigation Jurakutei, he said something along the line of wanting to try the new stuff. And to see how far the new toudan send by Government of Time namely Chougi gonna fare in his citadel. But some of the toudans there were very positive that he want to make sure that Chougi doesn't start bullying his fave attendant Yamanbagiri Kunihiro, and that makes them smile warmly at that thought.
Nowadays, he was able to bring back some more toudans home after spending the resources and request tokens like crazy. There's still other new guys to recruit after all these time but he said that there's no rush that he's gonna try again. With this statement it sets the toudans's hearts at ease knowing that their saniwa not gonna go away again like before, for a while.
Thus, the issue at hand for today...
Saniwa - What? You want me to go out together with the new toudans?
Yamanbagiri - Yes. seeing that you have make an effort to get them back home, why not use the free time that we have now *before new event* to deepen your relationship with the new guys?
Saniwa - So you're saying for some skinship eh, but how do you propose for us to do that? Pvp'ing? *chuckle*
Yamanbagiri - If i could ask you to go out together on expedition it would be very nice indeed but a saniwa can't leave his citadel for that so yeah...
Saniwa - You're making me sound like a hikikomori there ya know...
Yamanbagiri just make a knowing grin.
Midare that just passing by happen to hear a bit of the stuff and then start suggesting.
Midare - Ah then, how about onsen? If you're talking about skinship between men isn't that a good way to start with?
Saniwa - Imo there's many other better method for skinship between men but since i'm lazy to think of anything else related i'm just gonna agree with your proposition. Or.... I have better opinion about that~
Yamanbagiri - Oh? Let's hear it out.
Saniwa - Let's us use coolant and charcoal to heat the water at here instead of going out...
Yamanbagiri - Rejected! What a stupid idea of that since you've been smithing like idiot before and reduce the resources greatly, and we still need to preps for incoming events. I may probably not gonna object if it was years ago when you still have them at 6 digits...
Saniwa - Boo...
Midare - Alright! It's decided then~ I know of a good place, stumble upon it while out on expedition with the other fellow tantous XD
He begin to tick out the location on map and given it to saniwa to hold onto. Together with Shizuka, Kotegiri, Kikkou, Koryuu, Chougi and Houchou, he prepares for the designated location. Yamanbagiri secretly tug on Midare's sleeve and whispering to him. At the same time, Chougi was giving him a side glance and walk away while snorting at him.
Yamanbagiri - Good job at making he go out especially for taking bath. He really doesn't seem fond of washing himself and the smell...
Saniwa heard that and gave him a quick smack on the head, setting off while harrumphing. While rubbing his head and Midare chuckling at that, he remembered something.
Midare - Mmm? I feel like i forgot to tell them something... oh well.
In a forest not far off, they reach at a pond with picturesque scenery, it set the saniwa's heart at a good mood.
Koryuu - Uwaaa~ this pond, not bad~
Houchou - I've even bring us foods for picnic after we're done bathing, and i assure you it's got nothing to do with how my blade looks like kitchen knife ok?
It was when they chattering and start to undress, they heard of something moving behind the rocks. That quickly set the toudans on battle stance. The saniwa is calm but it was due to the deep trust he have on his toudans that they can do their job well done. After waiting for a bit cautiously, they thing behind the rock slowly moving and come out. It was just a monkey.
Kikkou - What? Never heard of how you sometimes can meet monkeys at onsen? You guys really need to broaden your horizon...
Saniwa - You mean like what? On how you like practicing turtle bondage tying on your body? I don't want to know that
And he proceed on pointing towards Kikkou after he's done undressing and displaying his fetish for others to see. The guy blush heavily at that but made no effort to hide it.
Houchou - What is Kikkou doing on his body there?
Saniwa just proceed handing him a candy and told him, "Please do not take note of him and eat this instead, do not ask some adults on weird thing you see from them" and shot Kikkou a 'how shameless looks'. For some odd reason, it gives Kikkou the pleasant chills but he refuse to make the situation any more awkward too towards the tantou and proceed to soak into the water. Houchou just sulking a bit saying treating him like a child but still accept the explanation and the candy anyway.
Kotegiri - Aruji, let me handle that ^^
He helps undressing the complex part of the saniwa's clothing and saniwa accept the offer since it make him feel like a king attended by his attendant. Kotegiri even fold his clothes nicely and set if neatly by the pond. The other toudans want to ask him for the same help too but choose to dismiss the thought since they're still new and haven't build friendship with each other that much yet.
The bath feels really good on their body and it's doesn't take long until they're completely relaxed in the water. Wanting to break the ice, the saniwa start addressing Chougi.
Saniwa - Chougi... you... really doesn't talk much ain't you?
Chougi - ...
Saniwa - Hmm, are all the people from Government of Time as quiet as you?
Chougi - Nothing. Instead of bothering with me, how about the real, other 'Shizuka' *meaning quiet in Japanese* there?
Koryuu - Oh Chougi...
The saniwa just sigh at how Chougi divert the attention and decide to really focus on Shizuka instead since he knows it'll takes time for Chougi to get used to him what's with all the matters between him and Yamanbagiri Kunihiro too.
Saniwa - You know what? I know that naginata have big build but you're really outstanding, Shizuka XD
But just when saniwa about to touch him, he suddenly shout a bit
Shizuka - Don't touch me!
And that surely startled the others especially saniwa, his surprised expression is visible even tho people usually can't see his eyes behind his very long bangs. The awkwardness makes Shizuka realize his mistake and quickly apologized.
Shizuka - I'm sorry aruji, I didn't mean it in a bad way. People usually got hurt when they touch me so my sudden outburst is for your good sake too.
Upon hearing that, the saniwa continue touching his arm and it makes Shizuka flinch in surprise.
Saniwa - Shizuka, I don't care about minor details like that.
Shizuka - But...
Saniwa - You'll be sorry to think of me like some kind of fragile human before i start kicking your ass for the guerrilla training got it?
Koryuu - He's not a weak saniwa don't worry.
Chougi - If anything, i heard he's a slave driver from the high up's report so he's not someone you need to worry about something like that.
The affirmation returns the mood back to normal, and the others may not realize but saniwa can see Shizuka smile a bit after that, albeit slightly. He pat Shizuka's arm with a big grin
Saniwa - Nice muscles!
Houchou - Mou, I hope one day I'd grow up to be as muscly and big as the other naginata and tachis!
Kotegiri - That's... ahaha
Saniwa - What Houchou? You think I don't have muscles too? See this *flexing his legs*
Koryuu - Why legs tho...
Kikkou - Because sexy?
Chougi - Oh come on...
Saniwa - I may not be bulky at the right place but as a former runner I have confident in my legs hahaha!
Houchou - Ne, ne, I heard when it comes to training muscles, Yamabushi Kunihiro is the right person~
Chougi - That guy? Seriously? All I can think of is his constant noisy kakaka during that training then.
Koryuu - Pft~ The mental image of that already giving off a funny idea >XD
The atmosphere starting to get cheerful as the toudans open up for more conversations.
Houchou - I hope I can get more popular with all the married women here, if I could build up my muscles more.
Shizuka - No... that's not really true. I heard that most women like a good looking men more than the muscles. You're already a cute kid so I'm sure you will be popular one day.
Saniwa - Eeeh~ Houchou? Embarrassed?
Houchou - No! It's because I've been soaking for some time now hmph
Kotegiri - Talk about good looking men, who do you think have the best appearance in our citadel? I'd like to care about their dressings too.
Saniwa - Me?
Chogi - You don't even fully show your face, what's so great about you, don't make that joke.
Saniwa - :/
Koryuu - Maybe... Mikazuki Munechika?
Saniwa - Maybe... He may be the prettiest in citadel but...
Kotegiri - But?
Saniwa - But I prefer to talk about pretty neighborhood female saniwas instead of him lol
Koryuu - Ok now that's a good topic~
Kikkou - I'm all ears~
Chougi - You seem like have experience being the saniwa, tell us more about it.
The water rippling from the other side of the stone when it comes to the topic but only Shizuka realize that one, but he just letting it be.
Saniwa - Well, I don't really have much story to tell of my experience with them tbh.
Houchou - But I heard from the other tantou that you have one bad experience about them because of Tsurumaru?
Saniwa - Hey shuush! Which gossipy tantou told you that? Must be Midare... But nah, it just something normal actually.
Kikkou - Like what?
Saniwa - Errr, just a bit of greetings when going out shopping.
Chougi - Sounds boring.
Saniwa - Not when they're going out in a group, and let me tell you, those girls are super cute~ Such a good sight for a tired eyes~ Greet them a bit and they reply back with those cute giggles. They also offer to take some of their harvests, good girls (^///^)
Koryuu - Uwaa~ Nice own goal~
Saniwa - Of course, it won't be good for them to offer all the good stuffs so I invite them to come to have some tea at our citadel, add on them dangos and bentos too.
Chougi - My respect for you will go up many notches if they really did come.
Pleasant surprises come out from the toudans. But it was then when saniwa running his mouth without thinking when Houchou press up about the matter from before.
Houchou - What did Tsurumaru do before? The female saniwa incident?
Saniwa - Ah you're still up about it? Fine then if you insist.
He stole a female saniwa's underwears. Don't tell anyone. I told her before it was not anyone's fault in our citadel. Because she's an aggressive girl I don't want to suffer her wrath. But really, it was truly the idiot Tsurumaru's prank, woe me.
Chougi - Now that's interesting.
Koryuu - Is she pretty? She have big boobs and ass?
By that time, Shizuka really can feel an ominous negative aura, and he proceed to take Houchou out of the pond.
Shizuka - Little boy shouldn't hear about indecent stuff, let's get out of here before it's too late.
Houchou - Eeeh but I want to hear more... it's better if that female saniwa they talk about is a married woman~
Shizuka - Listen here boy. I have an important advice for you.
Houchou - What is it?
Shizuka - If you find any girls out there, do not say about married this, married that in front of them. Because some of them will not be amuse with that topic, and you'll suffer severe consequences be that if you met a wrong girl to talk that about with.
Houchou gulping.
Houchou - Like who?
Shizuka - Like the one behind that rock.
...
Later that day, an amusing sight can be seen from the saniwa group that come back from the onsen trip. They quickly run back without stopping by when greeted by the other surprised toudans around, especially the saniwa. Poor aruji, he didn't even have time to wear his clothes properly while getting away from the enraged girl. Kotegiri didn't even have the mind to help about the dressings as usual since he himself running away in a mess. It is such a funny sight that it makes Kashuu that looking upon them can't help it but laugh loudly at them. With the exception of Shizuka and Houchou, but even their face darkened when they got home and refuse to say anything afterwards.
That night for the aftermath's conversations.
Midare - Oh yeah... I forgot to tell them that the onsen also a popular spot for a bunch of female saniwas to take a bath, tee-hee~.
Chougi - *vein's popping* Are you kidding me? I didn't realize anyone there at all when we first arrived!
Kotegiri - The girls... probably have scouting tantou telling them that we're arriving and get out of there before us coming.
Houchou - Sobs... my image...
Koryuu - Then what is that certain saniwa doing still soaking silently listening to us?
Kikkou - Don't tell me, she's been peeping on us all that time ahahaha...
Chougi - Heh it all goes wrong because there's a closet pervert and a pervert that start talking about female saniwa in indecent way here anyway.
That makes Kikkou and Koryuu shut up and contemplating themselves.
Yamanbagiri - That was... something, highly unusual and never heard of before for girls to peep on boys instead especially if it's YOU guys we're talking about...
Chougi - Well...
Saniwa - ...
Midare - What's up aruji? You've been silent for some time now?
At the same time, a troop coming and send him a letter addressed for him. He doesn't even need to open it up to know who it's from and tears streaming on his face.
Yamanbagiri - ... I guess, Tsurumaru ain't gonna get peaceful time for a while, I'm going to repair some damages done as best as I can aruji.
You basically do not provoke a female saniwa, it is what everyone's thought from today's incident.
