Jake's Story on Mutsunokami

Mutsunokami suffered greatly. He was sad because he was not as great of swordsman as Mikazuki was. Mikazuki is a tenken gokken and Mutsunokami is just a sword boi. 

He has to rely on his gun because hes not a great swordsman and he feels bad about that because he wants to be good at his craft. He feels that hes powerful when holding a gun and isnt as strong with his sword. 

He sometimes cries himself to sleep thinking about this as his training just doesnt always pay off. 

He often day dreams of duels against mikazuki and overpowering him with his swords. But when actually presented these opportunities he has a tendency to reach for his gun but Mikazuki knows better than that and always gets the upper hand no matter what.

He suffers daily as this weighs on his conscience and its hard to get through the days. He would just rather sleep all day and not worry about training, because in the end, what is the point? 

He will never be as good as the great Mikazuki. He has come to accept this as no training could help with his battles. He will instead only rely on his gun because he knows that at least gets the job done, maybe not to the best effort, but no longer cares anymore.

Some time has passed and his sword is not rusted and dull. But again he doesnt care about that, he has his gun and it disposes enemies just as well, even faster than a sword. It may not be ideal or the style of a Sword soul, but Mutsunokami has lost his will. 

When spending time with Monoyoshi, The young sword soul pointed out the rust on his blade, and asked why he hasnt sharpened and cleaned it up. 

Mutsunokami paid no attention to him and just grunted. Monoyoshi asked if something was the matter? Mutsunokami just replies with "If it matters so much to you, why dont you clean it?" and proceeds to throw his sword on the ground and walk away.

Monoyoshi stared in confusion, wondering what was the matter. But he wanted to help out a fellow sword so he picked up the blade and took it with him. 

Days passed and Monoyoshi managed to clean up Mutsunokami's sword, it looked brand new. He presented this to the troubled soul hoping to improve his mood. 

Mutsunokami just looks at him in a questionable manner and says "Why did you even go through that trouble, I dont use them anyway."

Monoyoshi looked a little disappointed and replied "I just wanted to help a friend out is all."

Mutsunokami did respect the gesture and took the sword from the boy. "Thank you, he said. But it was a waste of time."

He walks away twirling his revolver as he does.

Mutsunokami finds that his masters don't use him as much as the other sword souls, and that also hurts his morale. He wishes he was as favored as the other swords such as Yagen, or even the weird surfer guy Sasanuki. The guy doesnt even have a last name, so why bother wasting your time with him? 
He sits in his room most of the day, day dreaming about battles and how he can improve his abilities. However his last battle with Mikazuki really affected him personally. His gun proved inaffective against the tenken goken. Mikazuki would just slice through the bullets like they were butter.
How can you go up against someone like that he ponders. He distances himself from the others, possible why the other masters dont want to use him. As he just shuts himself out most of the time. 
When given the chance to go out on missions with the other swords, its shortlived. Masters will give him a try, but wont commit. This really hurts his feelings, and makes him feel unwanted.
