Anmitsu party in the honmaru!

Honestly Azuki was 2nd priority to Osaka excavation, partly because I burnt a lot of resources trying fruitlessly for the Kagemitsu brothers, so I didn’t have any confidence in bringing him home.

Tried about 10 times for him on the first night, then made a few obligatory smiths per day afterwards. I think I spent about 25k of resources in total? Can’t tell for sure since the helper was malfunctioning for the past week. 

All 900 plus fuji ofuda, SF Tsuru heading the honmaru. I don’t think leader mattered a lot, I swopped so many that I got tired and left Tsuru in charge. LOL that joker punked me too! A couple of smiths before the bean turned up, I got 3:20 on an ofuda and it wouldn’t show up in the helper. I was like OMG OMG IS IT HIM, but after a few more clicks around the helper, Tsuru’s name popped up. I GOT SO MAD AND SMITHED HARDER lmao XD

So Azuki comes home uttering this line in a low sexy voice (and yes, I like sweets) but I can’t take him seriously with a cutesy name like that:

Happy Mid-Autumn in the honmaru!

Started on Tuesday night, managed to finish today :) That first night, I thought “This event sounds so adorable!”

Two nights later I was like “omfg mercy please, everyone’s tired of being tired” lol. Yes this event is certainly more relaxing than the usual, but after a while it does get frustrating turning up empty. The rabbit is a cute thing though:

Dango and rabbit hunters (Yagen took the final boss node):

GET THE ROPES OUT NOW

We’ve got a wild party tonight!!

I failed to bring Kenshin home, partly because I had to focus my resources on repairs for E-4 damages (and partly because RNG, duh). Guess the Kagemitsu bros don’t really like me. But boy am I glad I met my goal to reel this masochist in, I DON’T NEED TO DIE IN WORLD 7.

101 runs felt like forever, he came slinking home on the 54th boss node, greeting me sleazily:

Also, this is the first time I broke swords /CRIES A RIVER

Goodbye L99 Jiji  (T⌓T)

And farewell my precious kiwame tiger baby  (T⌓T)

... ...

... ...

Expensive blue-eyed bowl head.

Why is he such an expensive tantou? Is his pedigree better than that of the other tantou babies?

Anyway, I haven’t yet recovered from the damage done by the futile attempts to bring Koryuu home. Starting resources for Kenshin:

30 times in and I already feel the pinch. I shall draw the line at letting my gold fall below 100k. Sigh. Come home Kenshin, before my fincon stabs me for ruining the honmaru finances.

More importantly, BONDAGE KING PLEASE COME HOME!

I haven’t entered world 7 yet and I just have very little desire to grind the normal maps. So Kikkou, I’ve bought a lot of your favourite ropes, please come home soon for a...um...a party? Technically speaking, none of the toudans are minors in their true age so I guess we can have a WILD party.

YOUR PARTY CHIEF HAS ARRIVED

I never want to see Village of Treasures again for maybe 10 years. Not being able to play on Pocket was terrible, I could only do 7 or 8 runs per day on work days after I got home, and even so, that already screwed my sleep schedule big time. Then came no-life weekends of non-stop grinding.

Anyway. GOU IS HOME AND THE PARTY STARTS. Yes yes, my dear assistant, I’ll take care of you /retrieves from inbox and LOCKS

Gou has free reign to inspect everyone’s wardrobe. His first task is to get everyone ready for his own welcome party lol. I made him secretary and he sounds so funny!

Also, something else to celebrate - 2 toudans graduated into L99 Alumni Club from VOT 5:

Hotaru is Senpai no.7! Honestly I don’t know when exactly he reached L99, but my guess is on 22 Aug. He entered this VOT at L79 and was a monster from the get-go, maintaining SF (mostly 90 to 100%) through the entire event. I never moved him out of 6th spot and there he stayed, flourishing with barely any attention. He carried the squad like a champ. What a menace.

Hotaru might’ve entered my honmaru late but he sure climbed fast. Way to go, my little tank! 

IT’S TIME TO GOU GOU GOU!!!

I want this assistant! Look at what he can do:

I’m gonna make him chief of #party in my honmaru when he comes home. And I’m sure he’s gonna do one helluva job!

So, it’s time to descend into 100k hell again. Ah...those days of slaving for Yeskanehira (this is not some fond rush of nostalgia).

In other news, Chief Babysitter and Ghostie Flirt returned from vacay:

I’m amazed I managed to keep them on par all these months of leveling up. I sent them off at L94, they came back at L34. Bami is rockin’ the new ‘do while Snikkari looks princely! So charming...until he opens his mouth:

Manure Idol returns!

Zuo is back from training! I sent him off at L75 and he returned at L30 looking way prettier. Wow boy, and you’re just in time for THE BIGGEST PARTY IN THE HONMARU.

(Oh no, the pranksters finally meet :p)

Also, kiwame Zuo gained a new ability - he can now electrocute enemies:

No I’m just kidding. It’s a shame he can’t despite that menacing look.

Wakiwame begins!

I was gonna send Bami off first because he’s been a really responsible babysitter where my mid-level swords are concerned. But I couldn’t find button when I loaded the game in pocket earlier haha. Dammit, I’m sorry Bami.
