Sword Art Online Crossover: They're all close friends, how did I become a player?

On a rare day off, with no classes or training, the documents were taken by Hasebe to complete. Of course, Hasebe said that he could help the Saniwa write documents because the Saniwa trusted him!

What does this mean? It means that he is the sword that the Saniwa values ​​and trusts the most!

In short, Hasebe continued writing his documents amidst a flurry of blossoms, forbidding any contact with swords or blades, insisting on completing everything himself. Fortunately, the workload wasn't heavy, and he expected to finish before dinner.

Yu Bai was sitting on the corridor with his grandfather, Mikazuki, and the ancestor, the Seven Star Sword. He was playing the zither while watching the little short sword playing in the courtyard.

The melodious sound of the koto echoed in the citadel. Shokudaikiri Mitsutada, who was busy in the kitchen, Horikawa Kunihiro and Namazu Aoe, who were fighting in the hand-to-hand combat arena, and the little daggers who were playing all stopped what they were doing and listened attentively.

"Today I am fortunate to hear the music of the Master."

Mikazuki and Shichiseiken sat beside Yu Bai. Two elderly people from a thousand years ago flanked the Saniwa on either side, listening to the music with relaxed postures.

Not far away, Kasen Kanesada, carrying a basket of clothes, quickly passed by the three of them, heading towards the pond in a hurry.

However, the way he kept turning back every few steps, as if afraid of being discovered, was really quite surreptitious.

This is extremely inconsistent with his long-held refined tastes.

"What's wrong with the poet? He just went to the lake to wash clothes, why is he acting like this?"

Attracted by Kasen Kanesada's actions, Yu Bai stopped playing the zither and turned to the two swords beside him to check on Kasen Kanesada's situation.

"Hahaha, my lord, I think I know why." Mikazuki spoke, his laughter still as mesmerizing as ever.

Even dressed in thermal underwear, this knife still looks great. It perfectly embodies the saying "good looks allow for any style."

"Master, the basket of clothes in Kasen-dono's hand is probably Yamanbagiri Kunihiro's cloak."

Ignoring Mikazuki's expression that seemed to say, "Why did you say that? I was trying to keep you in suspense and get closer to the Saniwa," he continued.

He hadn't heard music from the land of China for a long time, and although he was somewhat disappointed that his lord had stopped playing, Seven Star Sword gently added some tea for Yu Bai before explaining to him the reason why Kasen Kensada had acted that way.

"Huh? Hahaha~ That basket looks like a lot. Did Kasen take out all his cloaks? He'll have to hide in a corner and grow mushrooms after being discovered." At first, Yu Bai didn't react, but soon he realized what the basket of clothes was and burst into laughter.

Kasen Kanesada, the sword spirit of Lord Yohaku. Although he has not been around for long, he is already an indispensable member of the citadel.

He considers himself refined and enjoys writing and reading. If you were to ask him what else he likes to do besides going into battle, he'd probably say doing laundry.

Yes, that's right, washing clothes. Kasen Kanesada said that whenever he saw dirty clothes become clean and white in his hands and neatly hung on bamboo poles to dry, he felt a sense of accomplishment.

He had wanted to wash Yamanbagiri Kunihiro's dirty-looking cloak for a long time, but he hadn't been able to find the opportunity. Yamanbagiri Kunihiro was really keeping a close eye on his bedsheets.

He didn't know if these sheets were his true form or what, but he tried to get his hands on those cloaks for a long time without success.

This made him feel incredibly aroused every time he saw Yamanbagiri, and this time he finally couldn't resist.

Early this morning, Kasen Kanesada used Shokudaikiri Mitsutada's sweets as a gift, asking the little swords to hold off Yamanbagiri, and finally managed to steal the cloak while they were at it.

Squatting by the lake, rubbing Yamanbagiri Kunihiro's cloak, he felt extremely comfortable as he watched the cloaks hanging cleanly on the clothesline, fluttering in the wind.

This is how he should look! Pure white! Clean! And with the fresh scent of laundry detergent.

but……

"Snapped!"

Kasen Kanesada then dabbed some mud onto his clean cloak, giving it an aged look.

"Hmm~ Yamanbagiri won't notice now." Satisfied with his work, Kasen Kanesada looked at his creation. Although the once clean cloak was now back to its unwashed state, he was content with the process of washing the cloak.

Moreover, can something that is deliberately soiled be the same as something that gets dirty from mopping for a long time?

……

"Master Saniwa! Master Saniwa! There's a letter."

Just as Yu Bai had calmed down after being amused, he heard Kitsune's voice coming from afar.

The yellow fox with patterns on its face was wearing a small cloak that Yu Bai had specially given to Kitsune-no-Suke at the Wanwu shop. The bell around its neck, which was originally made by the Time Government and could store items and record videos, had been replaced with a small black bow tie that had been specially made with the same function and could even withstand one or two injuries when Kitsune-no-Suke was in danger.

The kite-no-suke was overjoyed to receive the gift from the Saniwa and couldn't help but show it off to the other kite-no-sukes.

Seeing the envious and jealous looks from the other Kitsunenosuke, Kitsunenosuke felt incredibly happy! His Saniwa was beautiful and gentle, which was just too good. He wanted to stay with his Saniwa forever.

"Master, there's a letter." Stopping beside Yu Bai and nuzzling his arm, Kitsune-no-suke took a letter from his black bow tie and placed it in Yu Bai's hand.

Yu Bai smiled and bent down, gently picking up Kitsune. His tender fingers slowly slid along its smooth fur, stroking it from the top of its head to the tip of its tail.

Under Yu Bai's caresses, Kitsune gradually relaxed, his body limply slumped in Yu Bai's arms, as if he had turned into a happy "kitten".

Once Kitsunenosuke was completely immersed in this comfort, Yu Bai slowly opened the envelope and carefully read its contents:

"Dear Saniwa, it will soon be one month since you joined the company. Therefore, we would like to extend a special invitation to you to attend a gathering held exclusively for Saniwa in three days."

The purpose of this gathering is to promote communication and learning between new and experienced Saniwa (masters), while also providing everyone with an opportunity to relax and have fun.

You may also bring a trusted swordsman to join you and enjoy this rare moment of togetherness. — Respectfully submitted by the Government of Time.

Kasen Kanesada: What a delightful day!

Yamanbagiri Kunihiro: My true form!!!
