Right! [Hmmm. He thinks about it.] Still, it might be better if you handle the uchiko ball for now. I can do the oil, and then I'll hand it to you, and you can powder it. Okay?
To prevent rust, mostly! It's kind of like a protective coating, but it helps to clean the blade too. And it has to be the right kind of oil, and the right kind of cloth, or else you'll damage us.

[Itsuki's expression is very serious. He's using his entire Int Score to learn, very carefully.]
And the uchiko ball? What's it made out of?
no subject
Ah, it's uchiko powder! It's wrapped up in silk, that's why it looks like a ball--you don't want to use too much or tap too hard.

...You're connected to your sword form, right? Does it feel nice when you do maintenance on yourself?
no subject
On ourselves? [He thinks about it...] Well, it definitely feels better than being dirty. But I think it feels the best when Aruji does it, you know?
