Do you think Jiroutachi wears polka dotted underwear?
Being a sage brought back in time does not only mean that you should fulfill your mission to bring peace, but to take care of your swords as well. Repairing them when injured, polishing to sharpen them, refining them to make them stronger, cleaning them - and their clothes - which means that you also do the laundry.
Though you could ask one of your swords (who are available around the castle) to do the said chore, this was one of the times you are free - and since you don’t have anything better to do, you decided to do the laundry.
Stained hakamas, mud dirtying the silk white fabric - you were used to it. Some were also food stains from the little Tantous. You did not mind at all.
But as you were sorting out the clothes, there was this one piece of clothing that piqued your curiosity and interest. Men were your only companion in the castle, yet this one - somehow - it was a bit odd. You raised the red and white polka dotted underwear as you think of who would fit the clothing - Midare would not wear this kind, you were sure, plus the size...
“Ah~ Why are you raising my undies like that, Aruji?”
That voice - slurred and groggy - only belonged to one sword you own.
You felt him lean closer, his hot and sake-smelling breath almost brushing against your ear. Due to your womanly instincts, you moved a little away from the drunk Oodachi. You also lower the underwear and tossed it aside to the white section of your laundry.
“I was just...surprised. Why are you here anyway? Go get drunk somewhere else, please.”
The beautiful sword laughed and waved his hand, while the other was still clutching to the jar - like it was the most precious treasure in the world.
“Alright, alright! Bye, perv Aruji!”
You could only sigh - both in relief and worry.
This was not what I asked for.
