Because my current master has the power to give us these bodies so we can fight on our own! It surprised me, too, when I was first summoned, but there are so many new things to experience with them, you never get bored!
You could say that it's a war. There is an enemy known as the History Retrograde Army that seeks to change the course of history. We fight them protect history as it's meant to be.
History is more fluid than you think, Lavi-dono. With the right actions, events can be rewritten, or erased entirely. It's dangerous, but that's why touken danshi like myself fight.
...So it's like a going back in time kind of thing?
[it's honestly hard to wrap his head around because history is such a Thing for him, but he's also read enough books to reach a different conclusion... even if it's one he can't imagine being real,]
Exactly like that. Part of our master's power lets them send us to the periods being targeted by the History Retrograde Army to stop them before history is changed too much.

A citadel, huh... There must be a lot of ya.
Are you guys fighting together in a war or something? Or do you all do your own thing?

[Huh. That's a new one, as far as reasons go.]

[and they can make swords into ikemen...]
So is the History Retrograde Army made up of humans?
no subject
[ shakes his head. ]
We've never seen their leaders, though, so it's very possible that some humans are involved and we just haven't met them.
