[Lunatia's resident centaur lady is back on screen, starting out her post with her customary bow and smile.]

Hello, everyone! It's been a while since my last "post", I feel like there's probably so many new people here now...

My name is Konoha... If you don't know me yet, I'm a jinba... Or a "centaur" if you want! ... I'm from Tateyama in Japan, but lots of people say I'm from the past or that jinba don't exist, so I guess that's not very helpful? Anyway-

[She twirls the camera around, giving a panoramic view of the bucolic Tsurugi Farmstead and a large palomino centaur working in one of the fields before coming back to her face after she accidentally focuses on her front hooves.]


My husband and I run Tsurugi Farmstead in the Greatmoon Groves, and we're hoping to hire a few more extra hands to help out during harvests and planting! Which, um... Happens way more than I'm used to in my world, so...

[No one point out why that might be...]

You don't have to have experience farming, but you do need to be willing to work hard. It's not easy to work the earth, you know! It wouldn't be an every day sort of job, just a few days here and there throughout the month, but we pay in chroma money at the end of each day. And on days you work, you can take home a small basket of the harvest for yourself, and I'll provide lunch for free!

I guess I should use this chance to say that we also deliver, if you're looking for fresh vegetables and rice for yourself or your own business! Or you can find us on weekends at the green market... Wait, I feel like I'm forgetting something... Oh!

[As if remembering, she pulls out a piece of paper from the bear pelt tied around her "waist", checking it with a squint. Right-]

Also, my neighbors said I should mention that everything we grow here is... "organic". Apparently that's popular!

Thank you for your time, everyone! If you want to sign up for work or you have any questions, I'll answer you here, okay? And if you know where I can find a priest or priestess to bless the rice fields before planting, let me know, please!

[Look, she always kind of thought of him as more like Shino’s familiar, which... seem more normal animal sized in her mind for some reason!!!]

Maybe bigger... He’d blot out the sun!

[inuko]

Only if you're standing around him? Or near him... or he's between you and the sun?

[ He's tapping his chin trying to figure this out. ]

I wonder if he'd summon clouds so you couldn't see the sun anyway...

[lumberlady]

Yeah, I mean like... if he flew over you...

[inuko]

Oh, right.

... His true form's not a crow, though, so that shouldn't be a problem.

[lumberlady]

... not a big crow?

[inuko]

Um... no. Not really. More... dog like? Dragon like? Dog-dragon like?

[ Murasame, who is technically always around, simply grunts. Hell if he knows what words humans want to use, he's just Big, with canine and dragon features. ]

[lumberlady]

A crow dragon dog...

[She's imagining, please hold...

Okay, verdict is in.]

... Wow.

[inuko]

Yeah, it's weird.

[ That's what he gets out of a wow. Okay. ]

All of that, and he's originally a sword.

[lumberlady]

Originally he's a sword? Not... a demon sealed into a sword?

[Which came first, the sword or the spirit???]

[inuko]

I... think he was a sword... first? I don't know, they kind of are the same thing, so he probably was formed from that intent, all those wishes from people to deal with the stuff they don't know how to deal with.

[lumberlady]

Oooh...

[Okay. Slowly. She’s getting a better idea of the concept, even just a little.]

I think... I might get it now! Good enough, anyway!

[inuko]

That's about as much as I get it, too, so... we're on the same page, at least. It's not like I've really seen his full form, either.

[lumberlady]

Well, I definitely can't let myself be too confused if we're on the same page!
