I'm betting it Jougi! If you don't remember him, it's been months since we last saw him OOC, he's the guy Yuna is crushing on and is all around suspicious.

Personally I suspect him of being the human avatar of Angry Man Juice*.

So, we have a full day... anyway we can get our sword repaired with Fuu's contacts? (I can't remember what they're called) Or someone else? I'm not sure how long the sword would take to re-make if it was made as quickly as possible.

You can drop it off at a smith's, but the whole blade going to have to reforged and the handle replaced. That's gonna take more than a day for a smith to do well.

However, I will bring up that you still have those twin swords.
 
^^
Wall hanger swords still have an edge, even if they're not as sturdy or sharp as a real sword and beats trying to fight with sticks.


Okay then, write in time, given the new information:
[X] Don't tell Fu about the email. Go alone.
-[X] Leave a note where she can find it in your room only after you're gone, explaining that you suspect the kidnapper has your house watched, and that you're going to the temple alone on their demand to make sure Itsuki is okay. If she follows, make sure nobody knows about it or Itsuki will be in danger, whoever it was knew enough to time their call to when she was occupied with HER call.
-[X] Bring the twin swords, and spend the day practicing with them as far as you are able without getting too tired for the meeting. If questioned, claim you're working off your worries and frustration.
-[X] Ask Fu if she knows anyone who might know how to fix your sword.

Okay, not telling Fu immediately, because I'm 90% sure the kidnapper has the house watched. Notice how they contacted us RIGHT when she's unable to notice? Timing is too pat, that sounds like a spy camera in the house itself, which sounds like Taisha work.
So telling her in any form is an unacceptable risk.

Practicing all day to get the new swords own is something she'd be easily excused for though, even if watched.

trying to use them is practically guaranteed to end badly.

Sadly, Yue is not an expert at Reinforcement Magecraft nor a Faker, so no instant weaponry.

Sakaki's not even a Magus, so that's completely out of the question.

Besides... grabbing the swords from Yue's while Fuu's only a few meters away?
Sakaki might have been Assassin Class, but his Presence Concealment wasn't the best.

Perhaps best bet would be continuing the usage of the broken Monohoshizao, but not before wrapping one end of it with some very thick cloth as a makeshift hilt? Better a hodgepodge weapon than an ornamental one, or nothing at all.

Getting off the phone

The preposition "off of" can only be shortened to "off", not "of".

Think of it as an interjected sentence. Really, the only time when capitalization is nonstandard is when you have a dialogue tag and a question/exclamation mark. Otherwise, stuff goes uppercase.

Dialogue interrupted by dialogue tag
Dialogue can be interrupted by a tag and then resume in the same sentence. Commas go inside the first set of quotation marks and after the dialogue tag (or action).

"He loved you," she said, "but you didn't care."

"He loved you," she said, hoping to provoke a reaction, "but you didn't care."

Separating this into two sentences also works. The first sentence will end with a period and the second will begin with a capital letter.

"He loved you," she said, hoping to provoke a reaction. "But you didn't care."

When combining dialogue and action tags, you'll usually need the comma. It's because you usually have the dialogue tag (red) before the dialogue itself.

Wait, do we even need them?
Sasaki Kojiro spent his entire live sword training in the mountains, so how did he acquire a sword like the Bitchu Aoe (備中青江 - Blue River of Bitchu)? Was he not spending his time farming on the farmlands? <Sunday>
Nasu: Kojiro is the son of an ordinary farming family, living an ordinary farm life and separated from ordinary common sense. Ordinarily He met a master swordsman who had retired deep into the mountains, and began his ordinary life in the mountains himself. He was enthralled by the swordsmanship of the master, and he began training under him the next day. After one month, the master swordsman drew his last breath, and Kojiro completely threw himself into the path of a swordsman. By the way, what the master swordsman talked on about was the refined behavior of a swordsman--a communion with nature, so to speak. He did not instruct Kojiro on anything related to sword techniques. The Bitchu Aoe may have been the master's, or perhaps he received it from the Holy Grail when the legendary soul was summoned. It is simply something thought to be part of who he is.
Takeuchi: So he only witnessed the opening of a performance [referring to swordsmanship]... so he's really a genius among geniuses isn't he!?
Nasu: Isn't it obvious. Don't underestimate a chivalrous man person who is eligible as a Servant despite being nameless. He was raised in both mind and body in those mountains. Even without a katana that master swordsman can cut through dimensions. Sengo Muramasa, that which can cut even casualty.

Well, we have an entire day before we head out again, but... our swords almost falling apart. Honestly the ceremonial blades have an edge still, and with that they're probably better right now.
 
Yeah, the entire day is what edged me towards keeping it a secret, then pretending to be working off frustration physically, before sneaking off. We leave a note not in the hope of reinforcements, but so someone knows if everything goes to hell.

But I'm pretty certain we're being watched. The timing is impossibly perfect for anyone who isn't inside the house or otherwise watching.

It just occurs to me that Ruler Class Servants normally have True Name Discernment as a skill.

It might just be pure coincidence at this point, but someone might know who's inside Ayase Yue's body.

Or I'm just purely paranoid. :V
 
It occurs to me that this is still morning, so there's a lot of time to prepare for midnight. @troyamonga, what day is today? Is it school day, or weekend?

[X] Don't tell Fu about the email. Go alone.
-[X] While the Twin Swords may be used for ornaments, it's currently the best that you have. Oil and sharpen their edge until it's sharp enough to be dependable in a lethal battle. Spend most of the day practicing with them. If asked, answer that you're working off your worries and frustration.
-[X] Spend a few hours before the fight meditating. Clear your mind, tamper your resolve, sharpen your eyes, and prepare yourself. It's going to be a big battle, you know it.

It's a school day, but neither Yue nor Fu is going to be going today, since Itsuki is missing/kidnapped.
 
[x] Tell Fu about the email, and see if she can help you obtain a replacement sword, but do not take her with you. The last thing you need is to drag yet another bystander into this.

I agree with devil, this plan seems decent.
 
We should try to find a better weapon. The twin swords are both not made for actual combat and significantly shorter than what we're used to working with.

You have a better option? 'cause I don't.
Even an ornamental sword still hurts of you're hit with it, and unless our brand new Yuusha powers come with a replacement Washing Pole, it's the best we've got.
 
Wait, why are we panicking?
We're a fucking Yuusha now. I mean, sure we have to learn how to go hero, but if we can do that, we may have an edge.
I doubt this is a 'You fuck up, Itsuki DIES' scenario.
I hope...​
