The monastery that my former master studied at revered the liberal arts, after all. It's only natural that I should, too.
I'm not too worried. This group is full of practical people, and those who care deeply about others. We'll take good care of one another while we're here.
[ This is the liveliest monk Daan has ever met. Not that he's met a lot of monks. ]
Lucky us. We could've been caught up with much worse.
[ He's certain that if Karma was like, an adult, nobody would put up with his shit. And also his crimes would probably be worse because they would presumably not be so childishly petty. ]
Thank you, Mr. Iwatooshi. The outlook is appreciated.
As far as I know, yes. We eat, we sleep, we get injured, all as humans do. The difference is that any damage to these bodies reflects on our blades, and vice versa.
[ a thoughtful look at his nagi. ]
...I'm not sure if that is the case here. They said that powers have been stripped, and I wouldn't call it a power of any kind, but I don't feel the connection between myselves anymore. Not since we woke up in this village.
I wouldn't expect you to, but I appreciate your concern. It will come back when the rest get their own powers back. I'll just have to take extra care that nothing happens to either of us until then.
It will, eventually. No one is infallible, no matter how large their number may be or what power they have. Even the strongest enemy can be defeated by a luck arrow.

Hahaha! It's good to look on the bright side, isn't it? Or else we might lose our way in the darkness.
no subject
You're right, though. Want to avoid getting lost if we can help it.

For now, I suppose our mission is to ensure we aren't giving you too much work, isn't it?
no subject
Preferably. So be careful, hm? Don't fall into the swamp... step on any rusty nails... those kinds of things.
no subject
I'm always watching out for rust - don't worry about that. [ not what he means. ] I will do my best, and I'll look out for the others, too.
no subject
Do you bleed rust...?
[ Actually. Genuinely curious. Iwatooshi looks human by all means but something something sword spirit... what if his anatomy is different... ]
no subject
These bodies bleed like any human. It's just that we can be repaired faster than a human, with my master's magic.
no subject
Just in case... wouldn't want to patch up wrong if it ever came to it.

[ A general cut-off of power... most seem unhappy about it, he's noticed. ]
I'm no weaponsmith, so if something like that happened, I wouldn't know how to fix it.

[ Power regains... ]
Pretty powerful forces we're dealing with here... to cut people off from entire gods.
no subject
It's just a matter of time until we find our way.
no subject
We'll just have to find out.

[ Still have a chance, huh... ]
Right. I'll try not to.
[ Truly... the House of Optimists... so cute. ]

Don't worry, Daan-dono. If you do, the rest of us will be here to remind you.
