Did you know there's a museum not far from this base? You can see quite a few treasures on display. I went back for the first time in a long time. Imagine my surprise when I realized one of those treasures was missing...

It doesn't matter if it's a grave, a shrine, or the emperor's treasure chest... thieves will really steal from any place, huh? I wonder what else is lost in this world...

Ah, well, where ever I am, I'm sure I'll be surprised.

( Suddenly he's talking about himself? For those who know him, it makes perfect sense. )

Anyway, what treasures are in your world? If you can tell me a good story, I might give you a surprise.

Hah! I would be surprised if that happened.
But like I said, nothing will stop a thief from taking what they want.

Eh? But wait! Tell me about treason.

[intertwinedfates]

Well, we're gonna make sure you don't get stolen, don't worry about that. I'll see to it personally if need be.
You're safe here with us.

Oh boy... Let's see. Bishamon decided to release a forbidden shinki in an attempt to gain the strength to fight m

the crafter, and I went to help her fend off Heaven's army, so they declared us traitors...

[cranekin]

( Oh, he wasn't really expecting to hear that. He shouldn't be surprised considering how goodhearted some of his allies are here but still, it warms him. )

And Bishamon?
Eh? Yato-san...
You've met some really amazing people!

( Like, hold the phone? )

You must be a really impressive kami to come to Bishamon's aid...
I'm really surprised.
What's your standing now with Heaven?
I promise I won't tell on you.

[intertwinedfates]

[When you have the body of an inanimate object, being snatched seems like a real worry! And he likes Tsurumaru a lot, so he'd hate to think of anything happening to him.]

Right? She was trying to kill me there for a while, but we sorted things out and now we're drinking buddies!
I've always admired her...

[Yes, in his world Bishamon, greatest god of war, is a lady!]

Ehehe... I don't think I'm anything special, really... But it's not as if I could stand by and let them hurt her. Besides, my follower made a wish.
Thankfully everything got sorted out after my friends did a trial by pledge... They risked their lives for us.
I really do know amazing people. I'm so lucky.

[cranekin]

(A lady... if they were in person, Yato would probably get to see how confused Tsurumaru is by that at first but for now, he'll just roll with it!)

And you even drink with them... Wow.
If you think about it, a kami saving another in a time of great need is the type of story that would be passed down for generations.
Actually, what sort of stories do they tell about you?

[intertwinedfates]

[Best not to ask sometimes! It's just easier to accept things as they are when it comes to different worlds.]

yeah! cuz we're buddies now! I've been friends with her shinki for several hundred years already, so I'm glad we finally ended up friends, too
huh. you're probably right about that, actually. it was something that everyone on the battlefield saw, so I imagine the story is gonna get around
ehehe... if you must know, during that battle, I sliced right through the Heavens itself with the help of Yukiné, and earned the name Amagiri no Mikoto, or Heaven rending lord...

[cranekin]

A sword that can cut through even the heavens...
Aaaah! I'd love to fight against someone like that.
Even if I lose, it would be a great story to tell about some day. I can feel it.

So what happens when you cut the heavens? Do all of the kami fall out like grains of rice?

[intertwinedfates]

mhmm! that's my boy for you! he's the best, hehe
maybe if he ever shows up here, we can fight you!
I'd love the chance to see what you're capable of. I'm sure it'd be a challenge

not quite, although a bunch did fall, and we made the Heaven's watchtower collapse completely
that was a bit of an oops moment

[cranekin]

We could still spar now!
Though, it probably wouldn't be the same without your favorite sword...
I don't think I could fight with any other sword but myself.

I wish I could see it.
I wouldn't wish destruction on the heavens but a sight like that feels like something you don't even get to see in a thousand years.

[intertwinedfates]

hey, we should do that, then! I have a faux version of one of my shinki, so I won't be totally helpless~
I've been through so many shinki that I'm pretty used to using whatever weapon is available, honestly

heh, maybe someday I'll be able to show you on the oculars! that would be pretty cool. I'm proud of my boy for being strong enough to make it happen

[cranekin]

Good! Because I won't go easy on you just because you're a great god.

You mean at the arcade? Ah, I could show you all of my friends, too!

[intertwinedfates]

hah! I wouldn't have it any other way! I love a challenge!

yeah! that would be so damn cool, wouldn't it??

[cranekin]

Then it's arranged! Let's get together and have fun some time, Yato-san!

[intertwinedfates]

sounds good! we'll arrange the date a little later, once things calm down, how's that?

[cranekin]

Good! It'll have to wait after my trip but I'll be ready.
