The question of who he was struck him harder but the reality made it clear. Mitsutada knows that it would be hard to even explain who he was. However, he was proud of who he was, even if his name was something he wasn’t proud of. Biting down on his lip, how does he explain his existence to the man he admire so much? He was always with Masamune since his departure with the Oda clan. Golden eye gazed at the three swords that resided next to his former master’s waist, a small smile crept upon his lips as he saw himself.
“Ah...well...how do I begin...How uncool, to be suddenly crying like this.”
He whipped away his tears as the sword began to laugh it off. How embarrassing, to suddenly burst out in tears in front of Masamune. Clearing his throat, the candle slayer needed to acted COOL in front of his man, otherwise he’ll become a disgrace.
“I guess the reason why I shed these unexpected tears were because I was happy. To see you again is a bit of...a miracle for me, I suppose.” Mitsutada remembers being given away to the Mito Clan and then the horrible earthquake hit Kanto and he was supposedly lost to the world. However, the Tokugawa clan were never those sort of people that would give up gifts from the most popular feudal lord in Japan.
“Allow me to properly introduce myself to you again. Please don’t look at me weirdly or shocked but...” He used the word again, indiciating that this was not the first time they met. Unlike Izumi no Kami Kanesada, Shokudaikiri Mitsutada wasn’t afraid to reveal who and what he is. He was proud of Date Masamune and he knows that this man wouldn’t be surprised, no, in fact, he had a good feeling that he would be thrilled.
“I am Shokudaikiri Mitsutada. I had always been by your side, Masamune-kyo. It’s a bit embarrassing, but I’m glad to see you wearing me right now.” The man in the suit declared as he pointed at his own blade that Masamune was wearing. There were others that he hadn’t seen in a while as well.
