✂️Epilogue✂️
It has been a week since I became a Saniwa.
Everything has become more stable these days. I have cleared more battle stages, and everyone is safe and sound. Of course I never joined the battle anymore even though I can. I can’t risk Kebiishi's threat if I’m joining the battle. I also had more swords joining my Honmaru, and it has been lively in the Honmaru. I’m glad that everyone is enjoying their stay in my Honmaru.
My hand? Yeah, my burned hand is healing now. The scar has dried. I guess I heal faster here in the real world. But I still need to give some ointment made by Yagen. It’s just currently that I can’t feel anything using my right hand.
But the wound did not appear in the real world, and still can feel touch as normal. At least mom is not scolding me, even though I got plenty of scolding from Hachisuka and Yagen when they treated my hand.
The burn scar is so hideous that now I keep them covered with a bandage.
Today, I’m in my room with scissors. My hair was fine in the real world, but it’s still uneven here, because of the last incident. So I’m trying to fix them by myself today. I want shorter hair since I can keep two different hair styles now. Hmm… how short should I cut it?
I’m putting the scissors on my hair.
“Master?”
Snip!
“H-hachisuka! You surprised me!”
I sighed with a strand of hair in my hand.
Oh no, I guess I cut it shorter than I’m planning to.
“Oh, are you styling your hair, Master? Do you want me to help you?”
“Oh? Can you cut my hair? It would be great if you can help me!”
Hachisuka has such a great style, so I guess I can count on him to cut my hair.
“How do you want to cut your hair, Master?”
He took the scissors from my hand and started looking at my hair.
I pondered for a while.
Because mom can’t scold me here, I should just go wild with it.
“Hmm… Can you do an undercut, Hachisuka?”
“Are you sure about that, Master?”
Hachisuka hesitated a bit.
“Yeah, why not? They’ll grow again anyway, so it won’t be a big deal. Let’s do an undercut on this side”
I motioned on my left head that was already shorter than the right side.
“Alright then, if you said so.”
Hachisuka nodded and started working on my hair.
I saw a lot of hair falling on the ground.
After a while he finished my haircut.
“How do you like it, Master?”
It’s an asymmetrical styled hair. I have an undercut on my left side and it goes to the back. My right side hair went down to my neck, not quite touching my shoulder.
“I like it so much! Thanks Hachisuka!”
I beamed at him.
“I’m glad if you like it, Master,”
He patted my head.
Whenever I look at Hachisuka I still feel somehow guilty. It’s a good thing that he remembered what happened previously, but that means I can’t play dumb about what has happened before.
“Master, I told you to not look at me like that. I’m fine.”
Hachisuka scowled.
“Yeah, at least now you’re here again.”
I nodded.
Today too, I will complete more missions in this second Honmaru.

Thank you so much for reading until the end! This is the first time for me to properly finish a fanfic and publish them. Thanks to all the artists involved in illustrating this fanfic. You guys are the best! After 10 years of playing Touken Ranbu, finally I make a Saniwa OC. I wish I can make more contents for this Honmaru and OC in the future too! This is one of my 2025 goals, I want to make more contents for 2flheimr. Currently I'm not planning to make any Yumeship with Shiromi Matou, but I want to make a short stories about Shiromi Matou's relationship with all of the Touken Danshis. Hopefully I can achieve this in 2025.
You might ask about the first Honmaru... I already made a plan about the story about the first Honmaru, but for now, I hope you enjoy your stay in this second honmaru, 2flheimr!
