Careful, the water's hot.

[gives them that heads-up, before:]

Well, you usually have to take off all your clothes at a hot spring, so I don't know that it would've been your kind of thing.

[siffrin... don't get your gloves wet...]

Yeah, I figured. They're pretty nice, but they're not for everybody, especially if you're not used to the culture.

Though private indoors springs do exist—it's just that this area was a natural outdoors one.

[there are solo baths, siffrin... especially in kb where one dude keeps murdering visitors in one. uruha doesn't know this. this was before he debuted.]

Me? Well, I lived here for years, so...

[did you know that after we saw uruha get murdered in canon the author went on break and posted a bonus chapter about a long dead villain's wacky hijinks in a bathhouse. the fucking dissonance.

he just looks around again, with a bittersweet expression. It was nice. I wish I'd appreciated it more when I had the chance.]

[he looks down at where they touched his hand, and gives them a faint smile.]

... It's nice knowing that others can see it as it once was.

[the people in it mean more to him than the location itself does, and his experiences with them, but in some ways they're intertwined.]

[looks at this murder dm yea i bet you're feeling it in these chili's tonight

he pauses, before giving a light nod.]


... They were the guards assigned to me when I was sent into hiding.

[he nods.]

Yeah, three years. I couldn't leave the grounds, so for the most part, neither could they.

... Mm. I fought in a war years back and became well-known for it.

[Hero's what they call us, but Rokuhira-san was the real hero.]

[uruha does perk up at siffrin asking about rokuhira.]

The swordsmith who forged the Enchanted Blades—the swords that protected Japan and ended the war. I was one of the wielders he chose.

... He was a very kind man, with very strong beliefs. You should've seen his eyes, too—the way he looked when he was serious was unreal! He's got some of the most ironclad composure I've ever seen in a person.

His creed was "vanquish evil and protect the weak." So, that was the belief that those of us—his chosen wielders—fought by as well.

... There were six of us. Myself, my teacher, and four others.
