"It's all right. I never know whether to use my title here or not. The Demon King of 6th Heaven. It rarely means to anyone what it meant in my world and time, so usually I think it's better to leave it off." Even though he earned it, and ironically having been reassured it was not literal, he was more willing to embrace it again.
Is Pratt a friend? So far only Crichton and Klaus had declared themselves so, and Nobunaga had embraced that wholeheartedly, but Crichton was a non-combatant, and Klaus was even more than a friend now, but ex-army as well. Whereas Pratt and Teyrey thought of themselves as still military so Nobunaga fell into more of a commander stride with them both. Maybe. He'd leave it up to Pratt to figure out. Maybe Klaus since they considered themselves Alternate Universe twins.
Ohhhhhh it's glowy! Nobunaga is instantly distracted from his internal musings back to fanboy enthusiasm.
"Only recently?" A curious hum as he tilts his head, examining it as close as possible without touching it. "The Souza Samonji..." He gently pops it free and carefully holds it with both hands, showing off the brand he'd placed on it as a brash youth, "Is also considered a cursed blade. Supposedly those who wield it will inevitably become demon kings, conquerors. They covet those who wield it, and use it to extend their power's reach. I've always considered it foolishness; the same as all other religious beliefs, but here: things I took for granted as fake turn out to be true sometimes. All the same, I allowed someone other than myself to wield it recently, but he's experienced no change. No demon king urges, and no desire to hold onto the blade," a firm nod, still just checking out her sword from all angles.
"Do you know anything about its previous owners?" He can recite the Souza Samonji's entire owner history to his point, because he is an absolute lunatic. But he does highly value the swords' history, the creators, the trail of ownership, and all the documents he put together for all his swords, whether given away as presents or not; were his literal hobby.
