Chapter 1
The Night in Ogaki Castle
All generals in Japan had divided into the ‘Eastern Army’ that served the
former Ashikaga Shogunate, ‘Ashikaga Yoshiaki’, and the ‘Western Army’ that served ‘Imagawa Yoshimoto’, who was the puppet Shogun nominated
by Oda Nobuna. And now, the night where the greatest war in Japan history was going to begin.
Successfully returned from Kyushu to Honshu, Sagara Yoshiharu led the Oumi-Nagahama soldiers and saved Oda Nobuna at the critical moment, and entered Ogaki Castle in the west of Mino along with the main flag soldiers of Nobuna. In the meantime, after Sagara Yoshihi and Yamanaka Shikanosuke provided reinforcement to Akechi Mitsuhide in Tango, they entered Kyoto and rushed to Ogaki Castle to meet with the Sagara army.
Before the military discussion consist of Oda Nobuna, Takigawa Kazumasu, Shimazu Iehisa, Sagara Yoshihi, and Sagara Yoshiharu began, Sagara Yoshiharu and the Sagara Sister Corps had a small tea party together to celebrate the return of Yoshiharu—-.
The eldest sister of Sagara Sister Corps, Sagara Nene distributed tea for everyone as the young tea master.
“Brother! I, Nene as the eldest sister of Sagara Sister Corps rushed here from Oumi, Nagahama! In order to prevent the ninjas from the enemy side to infiltrate Ogaki Castle and reach Nobuna and brother, we will protect you on your side for the whole night. Am I right, everyone from Sagara Sister Corps! Leave the cooking and tea making to me!”
“Oi, Nene. I had said many times that you are too young so you can’t participate in the battlefield. Looking over the house should be your mission isn’t it?”
“No~way. If we were defeated in this battle, then Oda clan and Sagara clan are done for. Nagahama Castle in Oumi would also fall immediately! If
there’s not a place that is safe, then at least Nene wants to be with brother together!”
Not wanting to involve the young Nene into the war. Yoshiharu was once prohibited Nene to leave Nagahama Castle, but Sagara Sister Corps could not oppose the young Nene. In the end, she came to Ogaki Castle. As the ‘first younger sister’, Nene had been in charge of Sagara clan ever since Yoshiharu was still weak in the Oda clan. Even when Yoshiharu lost his memory and served the Mori clan or when Yoshiharu went for an expedition to Kyushu, she had been managing Nagahama Castle all this time, she was a sensible and well-behaved girl.
“Can’t be helped……driving you back to the empty Nagahama Castle would be more dangerous. Alright, come here and give me a hug.
“The person responsible as the pillow since forever! As expected, brother is no good without Nene!”
Yoshiharu who didn’t want to bring Nene to the battlefield was very anxious now.
To reassure Yoshiharu who was in anxious, the high-spirited Sagara Sister Corps “Please don’t worry! We will protect Nene!” shouted.
“Brother? If you want a sister then it should be Ishida Sakichi! Please leave this to the number one beautiful maiden in Sagara Sister Corps, Ishida Sakichi. During brother having an expedition in Kyushu, I had learned the basic calculation from Nene, calculated the soldier rations, supplies and made a plan for the movement of the army. What’s more, it’s almost time for me to have a child of brother…..to take on the task as ‘the person responsible to born a child’ for Sagara clan.”
“Wait, wait a minute Sakichi. Even if you are a sister not related by blood, you still can’t have a child of brother Yoshiharu.”
Facing Sakichi with a blushing face “The experience in Kyushu and became a hero, brother has become more and more handsome. I am so shy that I don’t even dare to look at brother’s face” and getting excited, The maiden general with male attire from the same Sagara Sister Corps but belonged to ‘Owari sister faction’, Kato Toranosuke refuted, but Sakichi ignored it.
“Toranosuke who had stayed with brother in Kyushu must have been enlisted into the harem! I am so frustrated! That breast of yours that should not be in your age must be grown to seduce brother, I am very sure!”
“Uhuh, it’s tough for me. Although brother claimed himself as a breast lover, but he won’t lay his hands on his sister oh, Sakichi. Despite I felt a little monkey perverted gaze around my breast, but brother is actually a serious person. I have been thinking before this, the ‘sister way’ of Sakichi must have something wrong there.”
“I know something like that exists in the future oh? “As Long as There’s Love, It Doesn’t Matter If She Is My Sister, Right?” —- “My Little Sister Can’t Be This Cute” —- “Domestic Eleven Sisters!” —- “As Expected of My
Brother, Let’s Get Married!” —- It is said that in the future world where brother came from, the rate of unmarried until dead increased dramatically causing population decreases. Therefore, it is correct that brother and sister dating is a natural common phenomenon! Those guys in the Sengoku Era were wrong!”
“Sa-Sa-Sakichi, there’s nothing like that! Those are the titles of animation in
the future, not the topics in the real world! What they said ‘This story is purely fictional’! Although it’s true that the rate of unmarried in life is real, but siblings dating is still forbidden in the future!”
“……That means……brother…….does not love Sakichi anymore……? Uh, my belly…….”
“Stay strong, Kichi-chan! Hmhm. Although Kichi-chan is very arrogant and prideful her heart is very fragile! Ah! That’s right, brother, I was honing a special ability called ‘curse killing’ recently.”
The ally of Sakichi that belonged to the ‘Oumi Sister Faction’ that same as her. Otani Norinosuke with a white cloth covering her face, was rubbing
Sakichi’s stomach who had a ‘stomachache’.
“Brother, Kichi-chan was not motivated. Hurry up and say something nice to her, or else I, Norinosuke will have sneaky actions made on you for three years afterward oh.”
She said something that could nor be ignored, Yoshiharu “In the end, what is that special ability. Really, Sakichi is a hassle” said something to end the
topic while gently rubbing Sakichi’s head.
“Of, of course I love Sakichi! As a ‘sister’! But no thanks for giving birth to my child!”
“Uh–Okay! That means I am your sister! Brother? Brother does not love me as a woman! Is because my breast is small right! You are too mean!”
“Sakichi, why you become such a hassle after we separated for a few days!?”
“It’s all brother’s fault for leaving me alone, only brought Toranosuke and Konishi Yukinaga to Kyushu and did things involved in giving birth to children.”
For an unknown reason, Konishi Yukinaga always had a fight with Toranosuke while rushing to Okitanawate, currently, “Because the council members of Sakai are gathering and prepared to have a discussion regarding joining the Eastern Army or the Western Army” and returned to Sakai. Although Yukinaga served Ukita Naoie who was under the Mori clan all this time, her main family, Konishi clan was not a warrior but a Sakai merchant.
“Like I said, we did not! Toranosuke, you are the eldest among them, right? Please be friendly with Sakichi. Perhaps Sakichi became like this, the reason is on your breast that does not suit your age. That large breast is causing
Sakichi to be distrustful, Uhm.”
“Even if you said that, brother. I was troubled because of hindering her when swinging spear in the first place. Even if she covered it tightly with breast cloth, in contrast, it’s getting bigger day after another……anyway I will aim for the number one warrior in Sengoku and continue wearing male attire!
And also maintain a pure relationship with brother!”
Toranosuke “Because of my breasts that I feel my shoulders very stiff, brother. Although it’s fine as long I didn’t make mistakes in the battlefield”
sighed, Yoshiharu “Is that so, that’s not a good thing! I am very experienced in massaging shoulders. Because I always getting whacked by my mother” said it followed by putting his hands on Toranosuke’s shoulders, the result was Sakichi getting more ‘depressed’.
“Brother! My stomach hurts after feeling jealous and envious from looking at Toranosuke’s large breasts, help me rub my stomach too~!”
“It, it seems that rubbing stomach will not satisfy you, no way.” “That’s not fair!”
“Really, Sakichi you just bicker for those trivial things. By the way, brother, my shoulders also feel very stiff! Because I am the number one war maniac in the corps! The warrior, Fukushima Ichimatsu! Ohhoho~!”
The sworn sister of Toranosuke that belonged to ‘Owari Sister Faction’. A young girl that looked like a doll with red sleeves that looked very cute,
Fukushima Ichimatsu lied on Yoshiharu’s back and acted like a spoiled child, causing Sakichi’s stomachache to deteriorate.
Yoshiharu too, with Nene at the front and Ichimatsu on his back, the weight exceeded that he could bear.
“Ich, Ichimatsu. Why would you be troubled with stiff shoulders? You do not have breasts like Toranosuke right! Your figure is petite and your breasts are small too!”
“That’s right! Ichimatsu’s breasts are at the same level as Hanbei-dono and Nene!”
“But but, Nene. Japanese horn is very heavy!”
Once I gave responses to their topics, not sure when could the military discussion start. Not good. When Yoshiharu was having cold sweats,
Shikanosuke rushed into the room, pulled up Yoshiharu’s hand and pulled him out to the corridor. Despite Sakichi “What are you doing!” shouted,
Ichimatsu “Let her habit kicks in” cursed, but Shikanosuke “Thanks! I wish to have more sufferings!” with a blushing face, their provocations didn’t work.
“Nobuna-sama and the others are waiting, please move to the discussion room, my lord!”
It’d been some time since the last time I met with Shikanosuke, Yoshiharu narrowed his eyes. He felt that Shikanosuke’s expression was full of confidence and satisfaction.
“You went to Tango with Yoshihi-nee to save Juubei-chan right? Thanks, Shikanosuke. Yoshihi-nee said that without Shikanosuke convinced the Yamana army to join us, the reinforcement for Juubei-chan will end up in failure. She also said that from foot soldiers to the generals of the Yamana army also opposed Yamana Toyokuni’s idea for attacking Shikanosuke. This is your great merit!”
“Thank you very much! I, Shikanosuke was once experienced several sufferings and difficulties caused me to give up myself and never trust anybody so that the battle for the revival of the Amago clan will not be in vain. Luckily I met with you, my lord and I finally had reciprocation. I am no longer wanting to fight for the sake of death. Now I need to survive with all I can!”
“Is that so, that’s great. Then I believe your M-aura of wishing sufferings have been recovered. From now on, become a normal maiden general that match with your beauty and obtain happiness.”
“That’s not it, my lord! Because of my desire to survive is too strong that I am getting more and more troubled. At first, I thought that when I meet with my lord again, you will surely ask me to become your slave. But I never thought you will leave me alone and getting lovey-dovey with your sisters, you didn’t abuse me at all! Hah? Perhaps your oblivious was actually the greatest reward to me……..?”
“It did not recover at all–ha!”
“Huh. Abandoned me who was in trouble while brought an older sister and a loli little sister from Kyushu to here. As expected, my lord is the real demon! Hahuhu. In that way, I will surely meet the tragic fate of being taken by a man other than my lord…..!”
Shikanosuke was getting addicted to her own words. Breathed heavily and said, “Please don’t abandon me! Please let me become the least prominent seat of your harem!” while kneeling down.
“This was a mistake, Shikanosuke! Calm down! Yoshihi-nee and Iehisa are not harem members! Nobuna has a very foul temper, please stop talking about it!”
Yoshiharu ran away from the corridor while thinking, a person’s habit was not that easy to change huh.
“I am very sorry, Nobuna! I am late! Is everyone here?”
Yoshiharu had finally got away from Shikanosuke and rushed to the discussion room.
“……I, see…….”
Nobuna was standing at the front of Yoshiharu who was late for the military discussion with anger while fighting against the thought of banishing the Sagara Sister Corps that used their ‘sisters authority’ and acted spoiled to Yoshiharu and Shikanosuke who talked nonsense about becoming his slave at the corridor. However, the military discussion had to begin now. Therefore she suppressed her anger and opened her mouth.
“Now all five of us are here. Let’s begin the discussion. But it’s the first time we meet with Sagara Yoshihi. Sakon, Iehisa, and Sagara Yoshihi, introduce yourself first.
Although Shimazu Iehisa went to Kyoto and had a tea party with Nobuna and Mitsuhide and even had a fight with Takigawa Kazumasu while visiting Ise.
But Sagara Yoshihi reached Ogaki Castle after she saved Akechi Mitsuhide, so they had never met before.
“Nobuna-chan made use of the popularity of Sagara Sister Corp and organized the ‘Oda clan seven sisters’ and I am one of them. Takigawa Kazumasu, Sakon. I am also one of the four great generals of the Oda clan at the same time. Speaking of the Oda clan four generals, it consists of four people. The Kinki Kanrei, Akechi Mitsuhide who governs Kyoto, Oumi- Sakamoto, Tamba, Settsu, and Yamato. Shibata Katsuie who governs Echizen and confronts with Uesugi Kenshin. The lord of Wakasa province, the person who built Azuchi Castle at Oumi, Niwa Nagahide. And the last person is me, who governs Ise as the shrine maiden of Ise Grand Shrine.
However, Ise was captured by Takeda Nobutora when I went for an expedition to Shitarahara…….I am getting further from Mitsu-chan. She’s arrogant, and our provinces are different……..my power is declining.
Hohoho.”
The foreign shrine maiden general, Takigawa Kazumasu got inferior after learned that Ise had fallen and got more gloomy when introducing herself, “Well, well, even if I don’t have any province, as long as I have my tea implement then it’s fine” and cheered herself. But, Matsudaira Motoyasu changed her name to Tokugawa Ieyasu and surrendered to the Takeda clan, causing the ‘Tokaido area’ which consisted of Oumi, Mikawa, Owari, and Ise to fall under Takeda Shingen’s hands one by one, even Kazumasu also couldn’t laugh now.
“It’s okay, Sakon. We will take back Ise after defeating the Takeda army. And now. The maiden who claimed herself as the elder sister of Sagara Yoshiharu, how about you? You do not resemble with Yoshiharu at all. White skin. Slim body. Elegant demeanor. You do not look like the ancestor of Saru at all. What is your name again?”
Nobuna glared at Sagara Yoshihi who came from Kyushu “Tsk tsk”. She bit her lips, (I would never let you put up those acts of a mother in law. So I must let you know your place and step away from here yourself) and continued intimidating Yoshihi with scary gazes that include killing intent.
But, Yoshihi who fought with Kyushu shuras and survived, “Hohoho” greeted with cool and avoided Nobuna’s gaze, she lightly dodged Nobuna’s preemptive strike.
Currently, between the two maiden generals was drifting a nervous atmosphere that a mother in law and daughter in law had. Yoshiharu and Kazumasu hugged together and almost scared until they had (Shh shh) urinary incontinence.
“Oda Nobuna-sama. Everyone here. I am the former patriarch of Higo Sagara clan, also the former lord of Kuma at the south of Higo, Sagara Yoshihi. Not long ago, I transferred my seat as a patriarch to my sister, Tokuchiyo, and now I assume the position as a deputy general of Sagara clan that is under my descendant, Sagara Yoshiharu who is also my little brother.”
Nobuna “Just those little sisters are too much to me, now another elder sister….. what’s more, this beautiful woman, she couldn’t be blood-related with Yoshiharu! That’s why she used the elder sister as an excuse, that means she is the wife of Yoshiharu got from Kyushu! A member of his harem! And now she dares to enter Honshu! Ha? Don’t tell me she has a child with Yoshiharu in her belly?” got anxious.
“I am the youngest among the four of the Shimazu sisters, Shimazu Iehisa. I went to Kyoto before and knew Oda Nobuna and Takigawa Kazumasu at that time, please have a look on me. Because people in Honshu does not understand Satsuma dialect, I will try my best to talk in Japanese. By the way, even Satsuma girls won’t say “~that’s right” oh.”
While looking at Shimazu Iehisa’s double-stranded braid, Nobuna “Your hairstyle looks different from before! It’s so cute! I want to imitate your hairstyle!” held on Iehisa’s hair.
And yet, Iehisa,
“This, this is a hairstyle from the future that brother Sagara helped me made it. Is it cute?”
She went shy, the result was Nobuna was so upset that she was going to pull off the braids. Not good! Yoshiharu interrupted into the between of Nobuna and Iehisa so he could avoid the ‘future’ that was easy to be anticipated based on experience.
“Iehisa! The battle of Okitawanate is over, it’s time to undo it!”
“Don’t want to. These are the braids brother Sagara did for me. Before the battle in Honshu ends, I will never undo it. I still can wash my hair this way, so don’t need to worry. Huhu”
“…….Well, it’s cute anyway, okay……as long you can wash it.”
“I didn’t lose my head in Okitawanate it’s all thanks to the braids. Even those shuras also hesitated to cut off my head when they saw my cute hairstyle.
Brother Sagara is the real strategist!”
Nobuna, “……What’s with, that hairstyle…….it’s lolicon right. Yoshiharu sure is a lolicon…….breast lover and lolicon……you have no reputation anymore……Saru oh. As expected, you are just a monkey.” was grinding her teeth.
“Back to the topic. Since I have met with Oda Nobuna-sama, there’s something I must say right now, Yoshiharu. You have established a branch family of Higo Sagara clan that has excellent traditions at Oumi. As the chief of Sagara clan, you are responsible to have successors and it’s the most important matter. As your elder sister, I will be the caretaker of your upcoming ‘harem’.
Followed by Yoshihi said something that would further upset Nobuna, Yoshiharu’s face went pale.
“Yo, Yoshihi-nee!? That kind of thing no need to be taken care of!”
“Aiya. Kanpaku Konoe-sama has said that one of the Shimazu sisters will become the wife of brother Sagara! Although Yoshihiro-nee likes brother Sagara a lot, but if only choose one then it definitely has to be me! If you asked Yoshihiro-nee, she wouldn’t say no, Ahha~”
“……What? That black teeth fellow……what was he doing in Kyushu. Unforgivable…….!”
“Iehisa! Nobuna and Konoe old man will be in a bad relationship again, please stop talking about it!”
Kazumasu at aside with tears in her eyes, while told Yoshiharu “It seems tonight is fated to be apart” and gave him a red bean bun that signified farewell.
“Sagara-chan…..for you to actually thought of the ‘sisters harem’ as a backup plan. However, you went to Kyushu and build your harem when we are having a hard time at Honshu and can’t know what you doing there,
that’s inappropriate! Nobuna-chan is really angry now. You have lost your chance to vindicate yourself. Huhu……Farewell.”
“Like I said, I did nothing! It’s not like that! Kyushu is indeed a province of shuras!? I went through countless occasions that involved life and death! Oi Nobuna! What are you gonna do with that knife of yours?”
“Yoshiharu? Can you step back? If you don’t then I can’t kill these women. Especially that woman called Sagara Yoshihi. As a caretaker of Yoshiharu’s harem or something like that, I will never approve it!”
“Yoshihi-nee is just too believe in love between family, she does not have any bad intention at all! The future is sullen if, if the mother in law and daughter in law are in a bad relationship right!?”
“Who on earth is this ‘elder sister’! It’s, it’s all your fault to hook up a local beauty with white skin and black hair from Kyushu, then keep her to your side by calling her as your elder sister and brought her back to Honshu! Not only that! Iehisa who is getting close to you with her ‘double-stranded braid’, what does that mean? You really are a lolicon right? Is it lolicon? You love elder sister, loli, and even younger sister? You are fine with any woman as long she’s a human? Don’t, don’t tell me, you really intend to take over the ‘Azuchi Castle of Yoshiharu’s harem plan’ that Imagawa Yoshimoto
advocated of?”
“Ah–that’s enough Nobuna. Don’t bring up the past and throw tantrum here with words. I just think that Iehisa’s doll face is more suitable for double-
stranded braid.”
“It’s not the past! All your love affairs are still going on now! Saru! I can’t take it anymore regarding your behavior.”
“Oi, wait. Don’t throw knives at me!”
“Do you have any complaint? The knife that killed you tonight will be sold at Sakai tomorrow as an infamous sword named ‘Sagara killer’, maybe it can sell a high price! It definitely can sell for at least 500 kan! Your life is only worth 500 kan!”
“Well, Ieyasu was sold to Oda clan with 5 kan, apparently compared to that I am better.”
“Why are you so ease about it~! Then, then, ‘Sagara killer’ will be sold with 5 kan!”
“Huhu. That kind of bluff will not work on me anymore! A petty and money- lover like you will never do any business without profit!”
“Kuhm! It’s, it’s true that it’s a waste to sell it cheaply with one percent of its original price……for me, I can’t do it…….since money is more expensive
than lives~!”
“……Aiya aiya. ‘Couples quarreling dogs are ignored’, it’s the first time in my life that I have seen one. Thanks for the treat. But unfortunately Nobuna- sama, now is not the time to do that kind of stuff. It’s time to begin the military discussion.
Yoshihi refuted indirectly, and finally ended the couple quarreling between Nobuna and Yoshiharu.
“Self-introduction ends here! I am back, so now the plan change to enter Sekigahara and buy time by defending Gifu Castle as the first step! That’s right, we must save Nobuzumi who was barricading in Gifu Castle! Let’s begin the discussion!”
Nobuna with her body shaking from overwhelming jealousy, sit straight after hearing her only brother’s name, she instantly turned from a maiden in love to a maiden general with the ambition of Tenkafubu.
The expression of Oda Nobuna, the hero that Japan history proud of that Yoshiharu yearned for.
“…….I feel that I was deceived by you regarding that topic. Anyway, Yoshiharu is back, and Juubei who was isolated at Tamba succeeded her counterattack to Kyo and it’s possible for us to save Nobuzumi who is in Gifu Castle! I was planning to lure Mori, Takeda, and Tokugawa to Sekigahara and have a plain battle…..but with Yoshiharu and Juubei here now we might be!”
“That’s right, Nobuna. Keep in check of Mori army that entered Osaka Castle while saving Nobuzumi at Gifu Castle. Considering I am back, we must pick up all the fruits!”
“Is that so! The phrase ‘Pick up all the fruits’ is so reminiscing! But, how we actually do it?”
“Uhmm, that. Actually, I don’t know.”
“…..Is death by burning okay? Or throw you into oil and fry? Or maybe death by a thousand cuts?”
“Wait, wait a minute! Because of the two great strategists of Sagara army are not here, this is inevitable! Hanbei is helping Katsuie at Northland while Kanbei is marching her army at Sanyodo! Think about it! How can my intelligence of a monkey brain able to rival Kobayakawa Takakage’s strategies!”
“Yoshiharu! You pamper Kobayakawa a lot right from the beginning, isn’t it? Ikeda Tsuneoki’s squad at Settsu was crushed by Kikkawa Motoharu and scattered oh? They are really planning to carry out the decisive battle that determines the owner of the world. At Sekigahara that locates at the boundary of the East and the West of Japan! That’s why they pretended to take Kyo but enter Osaka Castle instead to position themselves at the place where they can handle an attrition battle or even an all-out battle! If we simply went to Gifu Castle from Ogaki Castle, the strategic locations in
Sekigahara will be taken by Mori!”
“So, now, it’s time for our strategist, Iehisa to debut! Help me to devise a new plan! Please!”
Okay, Iehisa smiled and patted her chest.
“I had observed the geography of all the important places nearby Kinki from the previous tour to Kyo. Leave it to me!”
Iehisa started to devise her ‘plan’.
After the death of Yamamoto Kansuke and Taigen Sessai, speaking of strategists it would be the ‘duo Bei of the world’, Kuroda Kanbei and
Takenaka Hanbei competing for the number one of the world. However, at Kyushu during the Sengoku period also had a genius strategist. He died early and unable to participate in the great battle of Honshu, that person was Shimazu Iehisa.
“First of all, it’s for Takenaka Hanbei and Shibata Katsuie to halt their pace at Echizen. Splitting forces from Echizen will face the danger of the defense line collapsing against Uesugi Kenshin. That’s why we shall focus on the Oda Nobuna and Sagara Yoshiharu legions at Ogaki Castle, along with Akechi Mitsuhide at Kyoto to handle the battle with Mori and the rescue of Gifu Castle.”
“That’s right, Iehisa. Even with Katsuie’s valor and Hanbei’s strategies,
defending against Uesugi Kenshin’s attack is still a difficult mission. Echizen now is lack of troops already. All we can do now is regarding the movement of Akechi troops at Kyoto.”
“Aiya. Send a letter with Oda Nobuna’s stamp to the Akechi troops immediately. Let the Akechi troops advance from Kyoto right now.”
“Use the Akechi troops that kept in secret huh? But, where should we dispatch them to? As a reinforcement to Ogaki Castle?” regarding Nobuna’s question, Iehisa answered.
“Aiya. Send the Akechi troops to the west of Ogaki Castle, the borderland of Mino and Oumi—-Sekigahara. Based on the action of Mori army now, the Mori clan will abandon the land and castles they have now with the purpose to initiate the ‘decisive battle that determines the world’. Hence, even if we advance to Gifu Castle from Ogaki Castle, Mori will probably still move to
Sekigahara, the place where the decisive battle begins as they planned.”
“Even if you said that. But do you have a 100% guarantee for it? What if there’s something unexpected happen……”
“Sekigahara is the important traffic land that locates at the intersection of eastern mountain circuit, Hokuriku street, and Ise street. It is also a narrow plain land surrounded by large mountains, there’s no large scale river, so army on a large scale can take action easily there. It’s like a ‘field’ prepared for the decisive battle that determines the owner of the world. The Jinshin War from ancient lasted for a long time without any result, but the war at Sekigahara was the key that ended the war, that was not a coincidence. ‘Field’ has the power to interfere with human’s ‘history’ and ‘fate’—- I do not know much about Onmyodo, but even if we excluded the concept of
Onmyodo, the power of ‘field’ and the result of the decisive battle, or further to be said, the ‘fate’ of us who participated in the battle are undoubtedly
related in many ways. Just like in Okehazama and Okitawanate, the ‘fate’ will show its smile to the one that obtained the ‘field’ first.”
“Takenaka Hanbei said the place for the decisive battle will be nearby Ogaki. I considered that in my plan all this time. If we abandon Sekigahara and move to Gifu Castle at East, then Mori will take over the opportunity……”
Mori huh, that’s where Kobayakawa-san is, Yoshiharu nodded to agree with a bitter smile. To Nobuna, Kobayakawa Takakage was her love rival, but also a troublesome strategist that always took over the first opportunity in terms of strategy. This time, Mori ignored Kyoto and captured Osaka was an unexpected matter to Nobuna. At the time Honnya Temple retreat from Osaka, Nobuna did not burn that fortress and remained it as it seems was to prepare one day she would move her base to Osaka when going to the sea, but Kobayakawa Takakage did not bewitch by the ‘glory’ of Kyoto and
captured Osaka which is the ‘fact’ instead.”
“Aiya. Therefore, we must let the Akechi troops at Kyoto to enter Sekigahara first in order to capture ‘the first of the first opportunity’.”
If it’s Juubei then she can do it, Nobuna who saw the hope had her eyes with passion, Sagara Yoshihi “Oda Nobuna-sama who commands Oumi as the east and Akechi Mitsuhide-sama who governs Kyoto as the west. I always heard the Oda clan is strong in having two maiden generals with the capability of being the commander and able to cooperate together at the same time. Although Akechi-sama is an odd person who’s very fond of my little brother, she’s a very talented maiden general than what the rumors said, and she could understand Nobuna-sama well just like they are having the same mind and soul. She’s a person we can fully entrust with.” agreed.
“The strategic places in Sekigahara have two. One is Matsuoyama that’s located at the entrance from eastern mountain circuit and Oumi, and the other one is Nanguyama that’s located at the entrance from Mino. We must make use of the Akechi troops to capture one of those places before Mori.”
“Yeah. But once Kobayakawa Takakage learned that Juubei advanced to Sekigahara, won’t she take the chance and take over Kyoto that is empty?”
“Even if Kyoto is empty, Kobayakawa Takakage will prioritize over entering Sekigahara first. About Kyoto, if there’s a chance to capture Himeko-sama then she surely will do it, but she chose to postpone the plan of capturing the ‘field’ of Kyoto. Considering that Kyoto is a place that’s hard to guard against attack, she might be planning to enter Kyoto and defeated the Oda army at Sekigahara. With the situation of Kuroda Kanbei leading the Ootomo army from Sanyodo to Kyoto now, to the Mori army, if they harshly entered Kyoto, with how things develop, they might be facing a pincer attack from the Oda
army and Ootomo army, that will bring them into a disadvantage. That’s what Kobayakawa Takakage supposed to be thinking. That means it’s okay for us to leave Kyoto alone. If things went to the worst, we just have to let Himeko- sama evacuate to Hiei Mount. Just like the Shimazu clan that believes in emperorism, the Mori clan will never step in the Hiei Mount. In that way, the Oda Nobuna main forces and Sagara army from Oumi-Nagahama at Ogaki Castle can provide full support to Gifu Castle.”
“But it’s dangerous for the Akechi army to capture Matsuoyama and Nanguyama at the same time right?”
“About that. In order to meet the Ootomo army led bt Kanbei that’s coming from the West, let the Akechi army to prioritize Matsuoyama.”
“…….Iehisa. You are actually very young as a genius tactician huh. Rather than a tactician, it’s better to say you are a strategist.”
“That’s not correct, Takenaka Hanbei and Kuroda Kanbei are very young too. The experience from the trip to Kyoto and visit around Kyoto and Oumi with Akechi-san and brother Sagara has finally put into uses. Through that trip to Kyoto, I have totally grasped and memorized the geography and streets of the main territories in Kinai.”
To Iehisa, a map was not necessary. She can memorize the geography and weather of the land she visited into her brain.
“Once we saved the onzoushi of Gifu Castle, we will move to Sekigahara as what we have planned and join with the Akechi army. Oda Nobuna, your final trump card prepared to defeat the Takeda cavalry unit is the ‘field battle
formation’ with an outstanding number of rifles right. It won’t work on open land. So we must capture a high land or a mountain. From the tactical view, the final battle will still be in Sekigahara.”
“How do you know this secret? We are hiding it even when at Shitarahara. We did not leak the information to the Tokugawa army too. Only Sakon and I know it here.” Nobuna was bewildered, Iehisa “Because the first samurai clan to use rifles in the war in Japan is the Shimazu clan from Kyushu” smiled.
The cavalry unit has an overwhelming advantage on the plain below Gifu Castle. It’s difficult to have the final battle with the Takeda army there. After prevented Gifu Castle fell, we just have to use ‘Tsurinobuse’ tactic to lure the Takeda army to Sekigahara and defeat the cavalry unit there, after Iehisa had perfectly figured out Nobuna’s ‘counter Takeda’ strategy that Nobuna had been thinking of ever since Shitarahara, Nobuna thought in her mind (If we commence the final battle at plain field, then the plan I thought to counter Takeda will be difficult to carry out. We might be defeated if we move the
battlefield from Ogaki, Sekigahara to Gifu……) and had her worry dispelled.
“Yoshiharu! If we win this battle then Iehisa will be one of the people with the greatest merit! Oda army, commence counterattack! Provide support to Gifu Castle! Stop the attack from the Takeda army! Save Kojuuro!”
Nobuna stood up with motivation.
“Everyone! The guard at Sekigahara will be entrusted to Juubei, as long as we can defend Gifu Castle until Kanbei arrives, we must be able to win. The triumph is ours!”
As expected, Nobuna prepared the ‘three squads firing in turn’ since Shitarahara huh. And that ‘three squads firing in turn’ will be used in
Sekigahara…….thinking of that, Yoshiharu who was very close to Takeda Shingen and the Takeda Four Great Generals felt pain in his chest. If the
Takeda cavalry unit did assault Nobuna’s main camp just like in the battle of Shitarahara, won’t the Takeda Four Great Generals die one after another?
From the battle of Shitarahara that Yoshiharu knew of, Yamagata Masakage, Baba Nobuharu, Naito Masatoyo were dead in that battle.
However, the most important thing now was to save Nobuzumi.
Besides, Shitarahara was different from Sekigahara. Fate would be different. That must be the case.
“Alright! Hurry up and ask Juubei to take action, Nobuna!”
“Aiya. Please wait for a while, brother. Just one quarter is enough. I need some time. The letter that delivers to Akechi Mitsuhide at Kyoto…….it must be written as a combat instruction letter. In order to not let the army between Ogaki and Kyoto to have conflict, if we don’t draft the map specifically, then the plan will fail.”
“Hoho, as expected of Iehisa. Do you need any information? I will go get it now.”
Yoshihi suggested to Iehisa, but Iehisa shook her head.
“Aiya. It’s not necessary, Yoshihi-nee. All of it has been put into my brain.” “Yo, Yoshihi-nee? Me?”
“Yes. If I became brother Sagara’s wife or joined his Sagara Sister Corp, then you will be my Yoshihi-nee!”
“No way, I will be hated by the other three of Shimazu sisters. This matter cannot be approved that easily. What if Yoshihiro rushed here shouting “Return my sister” and trying to kill me. Although she has a maiden heart, she’s a real demon once she fights……if Yoshihiro governs the central government then not only Japan, we can even dominate the world isn’t it?”
“Aiya aiya. Too many people here that I can’t focus, I will write the letter in my room! Just wait for one quarter is sufficient!”
After Iehisa excused herself, Nobuna “Shimazu Iehisa. That young child is actually such an outstanding strategist” opened her eyes wide.
“Yoshiharu! You are not a normal lolicon! To actually bring Iehisa for me! Even though no one in Kinai knows Iehisa’s capability as a strategist! The Murasakinoue in ‘The Tale of Genji’ that went to Kyoto for the Holy Land Cruise, that’s what Iehisa called in Kyoto oh?”
“No, well, because I know the future……Iehisa will be known as the genius strategist through the battle of Mimigawa and the battle of Okitawanate,
that’s something I know right from the beginning. It’s not something worth to be complimented.”
“Uhuh! Although it upsets me that so many girls getting close to you and want to become your harem members, but Yoshiharu’s ability to attract people, particularly attract women is number one in the world! I am short- tempered and get into a fight with others easily, thanks to Yoshiharu that talented people from all over the country gathered here. Even for Takechiyo who changed her name to Tokugawa Ieyasu, as long Yoshiharu goes and persuades, she will surely come back to my side!”
“…….Dismiss the alliance with Ieyasu, it did not happen in the history I know……if we don’t investigate about it we won’t know what happened.”
“Is that so? That is something contrast with history? But, never mind! Didn’t we had a Nanban kickball competition together before at Honnya Temple! Takechiyo also went back to the enemy base to save Yoshiharu at Kanegasaki, she’s a straightforward girl, there must be a reason for her to dismiss our alliance that suddenly!”
“That’s right. There must be some reason that she must do that. If we can figure it out, then everything will be solved.”
“Please do, Yoshiharu!”
Yoshihi and Kazumasu who were eating Ise bean bun while drinking tea looked at each other.
“Uhuh. That means……my little brother’s ‘harem’ got your consent, Oda Nobuna-sama? Wow, no, or should I say, as expected of the future emperor, you do have great tolerance. You are different from those women that have heavy jealousy. In that way, the Sagara clan will be secured for its heir. Regarding the management of the harem will entrust to me, the elder sister of Yoshiharu.”
“Wait a minute, Sagara Yoshihi! You actually see me as an idiot in your heart! All of it sounds solicitous to me but actually very impolite at all!”
“Now I see it, Nobuna-chan. For the sake of Tenkafubu, you acknowledged Sagara-chan’s famous harem. Just persuade the fox of Mikawa by including her into Sagara-chan’s harem. If my life was assured in the future, I might consider joining too. Not only I can have a beautiful tea room in Azuchi
Castle, but also retake Ise……hohoho”
“Even Sakon? No way! Acknowledge Yoshiharu’s harem or what, I will never agree with it! This was a crap brought up by the leisure Imagawa Yoshimoto herself who is having a freedom life at Azuchi Castle now! Azuchi Castle is not that kind of a place! Azuchi Castle is a castle built for my own use oh!?”
“Oi, Sagara-chan. Although I am still a child with a flat chest, once I grow older, it’s certain that my breasts will become big and become a super beautiful maiden. How about it? Want to have a reservation? If you contribute tea implement every year then it’s fine for me to join your harem.”
“Wait, wait, wait. Kazu-chan? What happened to you, you actually intended to get married and become a wife permanently? You are too young to wither! What about your responsibility as a maiden general?”
“I am bored with this in and out without end already. Castle or what, it’s just an irrational thing that is easy to be stolen. Instead of being a maiden general, becoming a member of Sagara-chan’s harem will have a much easier life!”
“Wait, Sakon! Please win this battle and retake Ise! The generals that are specialized in commanding the rifle unit to counter Takeda in the Oda clan only have Sakon and Juubei oh!?”
“It’s all Nobuna-chan’s fault for being petty and not giving me tea implement! Because I did not get any tea implement, my loyalty and motivation is declining drastically~”
“Because whenever Sakon asked for a reward, I was reluctant to give out,
then the price of tea implement went skyrocket! That’s the way how I control the market price of tea implement!”
“That means I won’t be able to get it in my lifetime!”
Is that so. Oda Nobuna-sama surely is a petty fellow as the rumors said……although I knew that long ago, hope it won’t become fatal to the Oda regime…..Yoshihi sighed.
“Oh yeah, Yoshiharu. Not sure is it because of Nobuna-sama being stingy, Mitsuhide-sama looks quite tired. Although she looked lively when we successfully forced the Hachijo Castle to open the gate, but apparently the ‘aura’ she emitted kind of wilt……”
“Juubei-chan? Does she actually received a heavy blow from the matter of her mother became a hostage? If I was in her stead, I will surely lose my rationality.”
“It’s the same for me too, Juubei did endure it for my sake. Although I want to give her some rest, but with the circumstances now we can’t,” Nobuna felt discouraged.
“Yoshiharu. You will be the envoy to Kyoto. She wants to see you. Mitsuhide- sama was probably puzzled to see I went there as your replacement. I chose to let you support Oda Nobuna-sama based on the positions of being retainer and lord, and I alone went to support Mitsuhide-sama, but now looks like the opposite will be better. How to say, the relationship between Mitsuhide-sama and Nobuna-sama is a little…….”
Yoshiharu got Yoshihi from Kyushu as the existence of his ‘separate body’. If Yoshihi was not there, then it’s basically impossible to support Nobuna and Mitsuhide at the same time.
However, to Mitsuhide, Yoshihi was still Yoshihi, she was not Yoshiharu.
Theoretical speaking, Yoshihi made the correct decision, Mitsuhide understood that too. But, feelings was another matter. Yoshiharu was more focused on supporting Nobuna instead of her, he prioritized Nobuna, maybe it actually hurt Mitsuhide’s heart a lot. Yoshiharu decided to set out to Kyoto.
“Understood, Yoshihi-nee. I will be the envoy to Kyoto!”
“That would be the best. About the Sagara army came from Oumi, Nagahama, I will handle the outer affair, while the inner affair will be managed by Nene, you no need to worry. However, you must get back here quick before we proceed to Gifu. Since if the commander is not here, the morale of the army will be greatly different.”
“Understood. Nobuna, give me a half day time. I will meet with Juubei-chan again at Kyoto and deliver my consolation, and also yours. In that way, Juubei-chan will regain her spirit.”
“…….Yeah. Yoshiharu is back to Honshu, if I keep Yoshiharu to my side all this time, Juubei might be getting more depressed. Ah, there’s still one quarter until the letter for Juubei to be completed right?”
“Ei? Yeah, there’s still one quarter. Not enough time for a nap, it’s a waste to just wait for Iehisa to complete her letter……..and the discussion is over…..”
“Is that so. Yoshiharu, come with me to the room over there.” “Ah, ahah…….okay.”
Kazumasu and Yoshihi “Aiya? Don’t tell me” “Please let me tag along as
Yoshiharu’s sister” wanted to follow, but Nobuna “Wait!? If you two are tactful then don’t follow us!? If anyone enters the room, that person will be punished to death!” got rid of them and only invited Yoshiharu to the hidden room—- the Oda clan now was surrounded by Takeda, Tokugawa, and Mori and continuing a difficult battle without end. Ever since Nobuna and Yoshiharu meet again, they had never been alone together before. The two of them feel that this miraculous ‘one quarter’ was the time granted by Nobuzumi.
Kojuuro Tsuda Nobuzumi who led the army to barricade in Gifu Castle till dead had told his ‘last words’ of ‘hoping they will get married tonight’ as the main topic to Nobuna and Yoshiharu.
Nobuzumi was barricading in Gifu Castle and Ieyasu separated from the alliance and surrendered to the Takeda.
Although numerous trials and obstacles were blocking in front of Yoshiharu and Nobuna now, but Nobuzumi abandoned Oichi and his three daughters and even his life to give the two of them the ‘wedding night’. Despite there was only a quarter that was very short, they two did miraculously obtained it.
Any words was no longer needed.
It was a waste of time to communicate with words.
A four tatami room that was prepared for a small tea party that located at the attic just like a hidden room—- in that hidden room, Yoshiharu and Nobuna hugged each other tightly and kissed.
It was hot. Nobuna’s body was hot like fire. Just to keep Nobuna in his hands to prevent her from getting away, Yoshiharu felt he has the delusion of being burned by fire. Her slightly shaking lips were very hot too. Nobuna’s lips were overlapping with his, his mouth was also burning like fire being implanted in it.
“…….Yoshiharu……I will never let you go anywhere anymore. Even though I ordered to manage the negotiation with the Ootomo clan return from Kyushu in two weeks, you liar. And you brought Iehisa and Yoshihi back here. You are mine. You are the one that’s going to become my husband. You can’t go anywhere.”
Despite Nobuna’s body was hot like a dragon (TL note: does dragon really hot?), her body was very slim and soft, and indescribably close……..it felt like Nobuna.
But, other than Nobuna’s breathe and gaze, and also the warmth from her body, there was something else.
(She’s just like a kid, she’s scared. Her only younger brother is going to have a death fight with her sworn sister that has been her friend ever since young. Nobuna…..)
He was correct.
“…….Takechiyo who is my childhood friend left me. Yoshiharu also took a long time at Kyushu. Honestly, I am very worried. Yoshiharu, please don’t leave again? You have to stay by my side until my dream has been realized oh? Since Yoshiharu is back, I won’t lose Kojuuro at Gifu Castle, right? If Kojuuro also left me after Takechiyo, then I……..!”
Nobuna was scared. People in the world didn’t know their own futures, they wouldn’t know when they will would losing someone.
“At Mori…….and Kyushu……did you had affair with any girl other than me? Do you have any child already?”
“No, I don’t have any child now.”
“How about with Juubei when you reached Kyoto?”
“I won’t. You are my first and also my last. There won’t be another one.” “Me too. At first, I thought I am done for when being assaulted by Shotei.
Actually, followed by the order, this should be done after we saved Kojuuro. But since we were granted this moment of one quarter, I don’t want to wait anymore. Absolutely tonight.”
“Absolutely?”
“To let me pregnant. I want to born a child of Yoshiharu. Tenkafubu, Kojuuro’s life, and even Yoshiharu’s child, I won’t give up all of it.”
Yoshiharu held Nobuna’s chest tightly. Even though there was a piece of cloth between his hand and Nobuna’s chest, he could clearly feel Nobuna’s rapid vibrating heart.
She didn’t wear the external that she always did when getting dressed up. “I feel that yours are bigger than before…….?”
“Idiot. That’s because I am getting excited from kissing with Yoshiharu.” “Ei, Is, is that right?”
“That’s right. It will be bloated. Although you look like an adult after came back from Kyushu which made me doubt, in the end, you are still the
Yoshiharu I know. You did not cheat on me.” I have come back, Yoshiharu thought.
“Yoshiharu. There’s not much time left. We don’t have time to hold the wedding ceremony. So…….right now, with me.”
Yoshiharu followed by the word “I understood”, pushed Nobuna’s body down on the tatami. The moment they entered Ogaki Castle they had taken off
their armor. They also had a bath already. There’s no need for any further preparation. Just a kissing was enough.
The only thing left was to take off Nobuna’s clothes.
“Ah…..Ei? I, I’m sorry. That……I don’t know how to undo the band!”
“Ei? I am glad that you didn’t cheat, can’t be helped ne. Tonight I, I did not wear, underwear. So you just have to fold up the bottom part then we will become one.”
Understood, Yoshiharu wanted to answer but he couldn’t say it. His mind was blank now, he could not think of anything. The scale of nervous surpassesed a war way too much.
(Despite being interrupted by others few times at the crucial moment, but Goemon, Sagara Sister Corp, and even Juubei also impossible to be oblivious to this full of first wedding night atmosphere and get in here without consent. The time for me to connect with Nobuna has finally come—- Nobuna. It’s unbelievable. Although my heart feels like it’s going to burst, my face also very red and my body is very excited, the depths of my heart feels so much warmth—- so this is the feeling when going to be connected with the loved one…….)
He placed his hands on the tatami, Yoshiharu was going to be on top of Nobuna and enter her body—-.
However, at the same time. Kaboom–!
The two of them got exploded away by a sudden smoke bomb.
“What, what the hellllll! How come there is a smoke bomb hereeeeee!”
“Yoshiharu!? Don’t tell me, this is one of your fetishes? Cough cough cough! My eyes, nose, and throat……! A, a fetish of abusing woman with smoke, vulgar without shame!”
“I don’t have that kind of fetish! I! Am just a breast lover! I am a healthy fine man that can be seen anywhere in Japan!”
“Is a the Kyushu tradition for a man to celebrate with smoke before having the night with his wife? The so-called ‘courage test’? Or it’s a fetish of
Kobayakawa Takakage!?” “How is that possible!”
“Wait a minute!? Eieieiei! My hands and legs can’t move……, I was tied up in the smoke!? Yoshiharu, you actually have such an insane fetish…….!?”
“No, it’s not my work! My hands and legs are tied up and can’t move too! Who, who did this!! If you dare to make any move on Nobuna, I will let you suffer! Come out here!”
In the dispersing white mist, in front of the being tied up Yoshiharu, a young girl with petite figure appeared silently.
“Hhmu. The basic of the basics of Tanba Ishikawa ninjutsu—- ‘bondage
technique’ degozaru. Use ‘Dharma fall’ (TL note: A posture? I honestly have no idea….) to restrain Sagara-shi’s limbs on the tatami. I even gave my best to tie and hang Nobuna-shi on the ceiling degozaru.”
The two of them are very familiar to the petite ninja with red eyes and tongue-biting intonation right in front of them.
“Aren’t you Goemon! What are you doing! Don’t tell me you want to ruin our first wedding night!”
“Cough cough cough! You actually dare to do such things, tongue-biting ninja! The first night of my lifetime…….the instance my dream could be realized…….and you closed the curtain by crushing it like a comedian. I must fry you in the pot! Execute you!”
“I am not Goemon, but a ninja from Tanba degozaru. You are mistaken. I was hiding here in order to lure out my nemesis.”
“Pay attention, Yoshiharu? She’s getting more tongue-biting when getting more anxious.”
“You definitely is Goemon! What do you actually want~! We are actually comrades for such a long time. I am very disappointed now!”
“No, I told you, you are mistaken degozaru.”
“I know why! Goemon must be fell in love with Yoshiharu, so she came here to interrupt us.”
“Ei ei? Goemon, to me!? Because we have been together since she’s a little girl with a flat chest, I never considered her a woman before! She actually has reached that age without me knowing. What should I do…….! It’s over, I will be slaughtered by the Kawanamishuu!”
“No! My naeme is Ishikawa Kazumune. Goemon is meh nemesis. She’s a despicable wouman who keeping avoiding haeving a duel with me! But if I caeught Sagara-shi and Nobuna-shi, then I can luere her out! Hahaha!”
“Oi stop! Why you pretend someone and talking non-stop, Goemon~! Is there any other female ninja with red eyes and tongue-biting intonation other than you!?”
Despite Yoshiharu’s limbs were sealed by the intriguing bondage technique called ‘Dharma fall’, but he was on the tatami.
But Nobuna who being tied like a goose and hanged on the ceiling is the one that falls into grave danger. When she struggled “Untie me!”, the rope got tighter and closer to her body.
“So painful! Uhuh, what’s with this rope. What kind of places did she tie!? Yoshiharu, don’t look over here!”
“I am sorry! This kind of beautiful, no, erotic tying method, apparently I have seen it somewhere before……don’t tell me. Goemon! You, you actually want to serve me that? If that’s the case, I am very happy about it, but the worse
thing is you did it at the wrong time!?”
“I already said I am not Goemon!” That little ninja upseted and stomped her feet.
“Huh, I was totally treated as Goemon……it’s enough degozaru! This is a torturing bondage technique that specifically used to abuse women, the ‘turtleback bondage’—- Sagara-shi will be crying on the tatami while looking at his beloved Nobuna-shi being tortured until she’s ‘fallen’ degozaru. In that way, the love between you two would be over degozaru.”
“What’s with the ntr play on the first wedding night? Goemon, when did you become such a naughty girl……uh. It’s my fault for the lack of supervision. I did not fulfill my responsibility as your caretaker, if the Kawanamishuu found out that Goemon has done such an insane thing they will definitely kill me”, Yoshiharu was in great regret.
“I don’t want!!! You are joking, right? If Yoshiharu saw such shameful act by me then I better just go and die! Huh, just kill me!”
“…….Even though you are just being tied up, you are actually a maiden that surrenders easily. But I refuse. If you are dead, then I don’t have the bait to lure that fellow out.”
“Uhm, Goemon? My eyes have enough fun already. Can you untie the rope now?”
“Yoou are annoying! The one in ‘turtleback bondage’ will be interrogated with torture. Although it’s my first time to carry it out degozaru, but I am also a woeman, so I know the basics degozaru. It’s the best that the real Goemon could reach here before Sagara-shi and Nobuna-shi awakened some straenge fetishes. First is to cut off the clothes and expose the skin degozaru. Hu, hu, hu……..”
“No!!!! Although I like to abuse others, I hate being abused! Even more in front of Yoshiharu, damn! I don’t want to live anymore, just kill me!”
“…….Wait. I haven’t do anything at all and you surrendered degozaru!?
There’s no fun if you don’t try to oppose a little degozaru. It’s rare for me to prepare so many wicked tools. For instance, the ‘Sagara doll’ which is a specialty from Sendai—-.”
“No!!!! Yoshiharu! Hurry up and close your eyes and ears!”
“Damn it! Although I am good at dodging, I didn’t learn the skills to untie rope! I can’t untie it no matter how I struggle! Please! Goemon! If you anyhow also want to cut off Nobuna’s clothes, then please cut it in the way
that the breast can be seen…….that’s not right! Please don’t torture Nobuna, you hang me up and torture me!”
“…….Umu? I don’t know the way to torture a man degozaru! What, what a scary suggestion you asked for a maiden to do……!”
“Wait, Yoshiharu! You are definitely a pervert that far exceeds my imagination! Instead of looking at your lover being hanged and tortured, you prefer yourself to be tortured by a young girl!”
“That’s not the case!!!”
“Instead of looking at you being tortured by Goemon and marked by the ntr attribute, why not I will just be the sacrifice! Look at Shikanosuke! No matter how she changed herself, that M-fetish that she stained on from escaping
through toilet remains! A person’s fetish is very hard to be rectified oh!?”
“Then, what’s the meaning of you looking at the rope that sinks into my breast and thighs with bloodshot eyes? Disgusting~!! Saru! Ero Saru!”
“I, I told you, that was a pathetic natural instinct of a man that couldn’t be managed by reason alone!”
“You twoe! If you two really love each outher, then you should protect each other, laments with sorrow and beg me for your lives degozaru! Why you two left me aside and had such a shameful fight degozaru!”
“”Shut up!!””
“…..Umu?”
“That’s enough, Nagamatsu! If this goes on then I will be mistaken by them as a person with bondage fetish, that would be a hassle degozaru!”
Shuu!
Followed by the explosion of a new smoke bomb, another ninja flew into the room.
A young female ninja that has red eyes like Ishikawa Kazumune, the one that appeared behind was the real Hachisuke Goemon.
“Wh, why? How come there’s two Goemon?” “And both of them are biting tongue too!?”
“I don’t have bondage fetish or whaut! That person is Ishikawa Kazumune, a Tanba ninja also my younger sister degozaru!”
‘Ei ei!? Younger sister…..!? What is going on here?”
“Is that so, I got it. Kazu-chan is actually the younger sister of Goemon that separated before! That’s why they look so alike!”
“Although we assumed it is impossible to have two tongue biting ninjas in
this word. But for this case, it could be said it’s the family inheritance based on the future language right?”
Yoshiharu and Nobuna had finally made clear of what was going on.
“So I have already said I am not Goemon right from the start! Why won’t you believe me!”
“Us two are born too alike degozaru! The result is even I have to refute about this!”
“Stop with the nonsense, you have finally appeared, elder sister. If only you are willing to have a duel with me earlier, then I don’t have to disturb the two of them tonight. It’s all because elder sister is no good that I have no choice but to interrupt their path of romance degozaru! Hahaha!”
“Is that, so! Since you are not Goemon, then I no need to have mercy anymore!”
Nobuna transformed into the demon lord form, swinging her own body ‘Gululu’ that is hanging on the ceiling causing the production of action and reaction, speeding up herself with the pendulum principle, ‘bam’ and headbutted Ishikawa Kazumune’s rear head—- because of Ishikawa Kazumune was giving all her focus on the strong opponent before her, Goemon who had finally appeared, so she fully received the ferocious hit from Nobuna on her back.
Bang! Even when she’s hanging on the ceiling she still not forgetting to launch an attack, what a terrifying person……..I am too careless……Ishikawa Kazumune fell down, the sisters duel between Goemon and Kazumune had temporarily come to an end.
When Ishikawa Kazumune woke up, she was hung up by Goemon with the ‘bondage technique’.
“Nagamatsu! This is the correct way to tie the ‘turtleback bondage’ degozaru! Your clumsy way of tying is too hard to untie degozaru.”
“Umu!? Dis, disgrace! I am the one that actually being tied up?”
Nobuna had been finally put down from the ceiling, and Yoshiharu was
untied, the both of them “The, the rope that sinks to my butt must be seen by you right! Behead!” “I can’t see your butt due to the angle!” “You can see it if you want to right!” “I am going to see it soon anyway, it doesn’t matter that I saw it!” “It’s not the same!” had an intense mouth fight. Yoshiharu’s rope could be cut off easily, but the rope that restrained Nobuna was not that easy, because the clothes were tied along with her body, causing Nobuna to look even more erotic.
“Sagara-shi. Oda-hime. Nagamatsu and I had something happened at
Tanba…….Oi, how long are youu two gonna gou on about it!? What about the weadding ceremony!?”
“I was defeated by my elder sister once again………my pride as the leader of Tanba ninjas was totally crushed……..hmph, just kill me!”
Because Nobuna shouted, “It’s time for revenge!”, she took the ‘Sagara doll’ to threaten Ishikawa Kazumune who was hanging up, Yoshiharu
“That won’t do! In the end, she’s the younger sister of Goemon so we must be careful regarding this matter!” and had to stop Nobuna.
“So. How is your relationship with your so-called younger sister, Goemon? It seems you two are having a fight.”
“………When father escapes from Tanba, he has to abandon my younger sister who has become a hostage of the leader degozaru.”
“Forget about being defeated by my elder sister, I who am the head ninja of Tanba was actually defeated by a maiden general that is hanging on the ceiling, what a pathetic scene. I have no value of living anymore, hmph, just kill me.”
“Oda-hime. Sagara-shi. I beg you both to forgive Nagamatsu. The reason
this happened is that I didn’t acceapt her challenge so she rueshed to Ogaki and captuere you both degozaru, I am very sworry degozaru.”
At the side of Ishikawa Kazumune who keep on saying “Hmph, just kill me” while being tied up, Goemon tried her best to plead for her younger sister with a biting tongue.
Because the two sisters were tongue biting so it was very hard to comprehend what they were talking, but Yoshiharu and Nobuna could roughly understand the whole story.
The genin Ishikawa clan of Tanba, in order to change its fate of being used as a sacrifice piece by its leader, fled from Tanba to the faraway Mino and Owari. They found their habitat at Hachisuka village, followed the local bandits, Kawanamishuu. Independent with the Hachisuka clan name. After her father who was the leader passed away, the young Goemon became the leader that leads the Kawanamishuu. However, her younger sister, Nagamatsu, or called Kazumune, was on the side of the Tanba leader and unable to get her back, Kazumune grew older and successfully taken over the position as the leader with her own effort.
When Goemon went to Tanba to save Mitsuhide’s mother, she met with Kazumune at the battlefield just as she expected, and had a ninja duel that gambled their lives on it—- Kazumune ended up defeated and have to leave Tanba, now she chasing over her elder sister in order to have the final duel with her.
But, Goemon was reluctant to kill her younger sister, so she did not accept Kazumune’s challenge, and returning to Ogaki Castle as Yoshiharu’s escort again. Kazumune followed Goemon and infiltrated into Ogaki Castle, went to the hidden room where Yoshiharu and Nobuna were, threw a smoke bomb and captured two of them to lure out Goemon. Despite Kazumune was a first-class ninja and a powerful thief, but she did not intend to apply the interrogation technique on Nobuna even though she learned it as an extra skill. Goemon knew about this, therefore when Kazumune captured them, Goemon chose to ignore it. However, things have developed to the point where Kazumune might bring them to the enemy base if Goemon didn’t
appear. Since the battle that determines the owner of the world was going on now. The Iga-Koga Hattori gang and other ninjas are taking their actions secretly all around places.
Moreover, the most important thing was this miraculous ‘one quarter’ that Nobuna and Yoshiharu prepared for their ceremony would be gone.
Ultimately, Goemon rushed in to capture Kazumune—-.
So the motto of ‘unable to pick up two fruits at the same time’ from Goemon was due to her father forced to abandon her younger sister when fleeing from Tanba huh, Yoshiharu had finally understood it. If her father chose to take back Kazumune then only flee from Tanba, then the Ishikawa clan might be annihilated. On the other hand, after Kazumune and Goemon became an independent ninja, they must inevitably meet with each other on certain occasions—-and the Oda clan had formed battles with the Hatano clan and other Tanba people after Nobuna went to Kyoto. Once they meet, Kazumune and Goemon would definitely face the fate of killing each other to complete their respective missions.
“The forceful way of not killing my younger sister and swaved Akechi-shi’s mother this time has at leawst succeeded. This is also thanks to the inwfluence of Sagara-shi.”
“I was abandoned by my family long ago, and I have no place to go in Tanba too. Hmph, just kill me!”
Again being interrupted by ninja, it’s obvious that they have no chance to do it this time, I am very sorry, Kojuuro……. Although Nobuna “In the end, what is the uses of this Sagara doll” mumbled unhappily with a blushing face, but Yoshiharu “I see, my shameless nature has spread to Goemon too! Despite the Oda clan experienced continuous defeats, but now is our chance for a counterattack!” and hit his leg.
“You are Kazu-chan, right? Come and work for Sagara clan along with Goemon! Goemon was my first comrade so her younger sister won’t be treated as a genin but a gang leader! Your salary can be decided on
yourself! Well, if the Oda clan defeated in this battle your salary will be none anyway, so let’s have a banquet!”
“Nee-san, he actually wants to hire the ninja that came to kidnap him on the spot, is Sagara Yoshiharu actually an idiot?” Kazumune frowned, but
Goemon, “He is an idiot degozaru” smiled.
“I refuse! I have my pride as the number one ninja of Tanba. Being hired due to being saved by my elder sister, this kind of matter will defile my pride!
Hmph, just kill me!”
“……..Your mouth is quite stubborn, huh, but this kind of woman is the easiest to be fallen. Let’s try to interrogate, Yoshiharu. Since you are an ero Saru then you must be very knowledgeable about this right? Consider it as the punishment for interrupting our first night!”
“‘This kind of woman is the easiest to be fallen’, you actually said this kind of thing, Nobuna……”
“Ei? What’s wrong with it?”
“She has no self-conscious of it at all degozaru. Nobuna-hime is the strongest degozaru.”
“…….Anyway, I was planning to sell Nobuna-shi to Takeda and Tokugawa as a howstage in case the nee-san did not awppear and continue work for the Eastern Army degozaru. But now that path has been severed completely. Hmph, just kill me!”
Apparently, Kazumune had a very deep grudge with Goemon and wouldn’t surrender to the Sagara clan that easily.
Right at the same time—- after Sagara Yoshiharu heard ‘sell to Takeda and Tokugawa as a hostage’, he was like being shocked and had an idea.
“Nobuna! Goemon! The secret of Tokugawa Ieyasu breaking apart the alliance with us and surrendered to Takeda might be able to be found out with ninja!”
“Is that so? But, how we actually do it?”
“Ho. Don’t tell me Sagara-shi you actually planning to go to the Tokugawa clan as a hostage degozaru?”
“That’s right, Goemon. You said that Iga-Koga Hattori gang and many ninjas are working secretly now right? Nobuna and I also had a fight with the Iga- Koga ninjas led by Rokkaku Shotei when coming to Ogaki Castle. The
Takeda army also has its infamous Sanada ninjas standing by.”
“Even though the Sanada ninjas did not show their faces now, it’s a fact that the Iga-Koga ninjas that joined the Eastern Army are active at Oumi, Kyoto, Owari, and Ise those places degozaru”, Goemon agreed.
“Takechiyo is an honest girl, if someone important to her was being captured as a hostage then she cannot oppose them, Yoshiharu! But……this idea is very hard to be done. Since Takechiyo likes to do things with the ninjas under her. Hattori Hanzo is also leading the Hattori gang as escorts of Takechiyo right? Hanzo himself is a Koga ninja, so he gathered many elite ninjas that picked from Koga and Iga, it’s an extremely difficult mission to cross over the barrier set up by Hanzo and kidnap Takechiyo’s important
family. What’s more, don’t think that Takechiyo is very idle all the time, if she faced such a cruel treatment then she might actually go mad.”
The Hattori gang led by Hattori Hanzo huh…….I was looked after by Hanzo during Okehazama, even Kanegasaki also……
Yoshiharu shifted his gaze to the faraway place and reminisced the past. Yoshiharu had never thought of Hanzo and Ieyasu broke apart with Nobuna before.
“……..Is there anything strange happened in the Tokugawa base during the battle of Shitarahara, Nobuna-hime?”
“Even though we are still in the battle, Takechiyo who called Matsudaira Motoyasu changed her name to Tokugawa Ieyasu suddenly, it’s unbelievable. But Takechiyo was not favored in the name Matsudaira Motoyasu right from the start, so it’s not that weird for her to do so. It’s a long story about it, The ancestor of the Mikawa Matsudaira clan was actually an exiled monk from Ueno, they are in the place of weaklings that unable to oppose the Mikawa people that followed its branch family, the Sakai clan.
Takechiyo’s grandfather and even her father were assassinated by their former retainers…….moreover, different from the branch family of
Matsudaira, she’s from the main family. She hoped to change the clan name to Tokugawa which is a branch name from Genji of Togoku in order to suppress the people of Mikawa. After Takechiyo got independent at Mikawa, at Mikawa still happened the incident of Honnya Temple twice, most of the retainers left the Matsudaira clan and followed the Honnya Temple.
Originally, she was going to receive the position as the guardian of Mikawa from the Imperial Court, the standard of the Matsudaira clan is too low, that’s why she wanted to self-proclaim as a bloodline of Genji. But apparently,
Konoe Sakihisa said “Ohya! Matsudaira or what, ain’t it just an anonymous clan from the mountains in Mikawaw that worships raccoon degozaru! The guardian of Mikawa must be a relevant bloodline from Genji degozaru!” and rejected.”
“What a bitter fate she has. But the reason for Motoyasu to change her to Ieyasu is?”
Yoshiharu asked and Nobuna answered, “That is”.
“In her name ‘Motoyasu’, ‘Yasu’ was taken from her ancestor’s name, Matsudaira Kiyoyasu. But the ‘Moto’ was given by her former lord, ‘Imagawa Yoshimoto’ right? If she doesn’t discard the ‘Moto’ away, then Takechiyo could never acknowledge herself had gained independence from the
Imagawa clan isn’t it?”
“Is that so. The reason for her to choose the ‘Ie’ is?”
“…….Her father and grandfather being assassinated one after another has caused the Matsudaira clan to break apart right, Takechiyo herself also experienced the past of being sent to the Imagawa clan as a hostage and being kidnapped halfway then followed by being sold to the Oda
clan……..ever since the battle of Okehazama until she returned to Okazaki Castle, Takechiyo was a child without home to return. Therefore, she’s very obsessed with the word ‘Ie’ more than anyone.”
(TL note: The kanji of ‘Ie’ means family)
I see. No matter how I hear it and reminding it, I cannot imagine that Ieyasu will break apart with Nobuna who is like her elder sister, Yoshiharu scratched his head. But, in the meantime, he suddenly remembered the ‘Sengoku knowledge’ learned from the future.
“Oh yeah. The person who grasped the secret is—- Honda Masanobu!”
“Honda Masanobu!? In other words, Shinhachiro? Do you know each other, Yoshiharu?”
“We don’t. But Honda Masanobu left the Matsudaira clan to follow the Honnya Temple, and then went for a long wandering at outside. From the history I known, Tokugawa Ieyasu was actually a righteous general that is rare to see in the Sengoku Era that gave his all to help his alliance, the Oda clan in his first half lifetime. And then he turned into a tactician like a cunning raccoon in his second half lifetime, just like became another person.”
“……That person is? Takechiyo? Unbelievable. Certainly, she worships raccoon like the god of her clan, but that was just because of a tradition from the village samurais of Mikawa, it’s not to worship it in order to be cunning.”
“The reason is Honda Masanobu. In Ieyasu’s first half lifetime, Honda Masanobu was not there. Although the two of them are childhood friends, Masanobu betrayed her lord, Ieyasu and joined the Honnya Temple she worships during the incident of Honnya Temple. She probably went for a long stray outside afterward. Because Ieyasu is a person with great composure so she forgave Masanobu, but Masanobu did not go back. Not only that, when did Honda Masanobu actually go back to Ieyasu’s side, there are various sayings about it. At least the reason for Ieyasu turned from a righteous general into a cunning raccoon is due to the return of her tactician, Honda Masanobu. There are many brain-muscle generals headed by Honda Tadakatsu in Mikawa samurais. The wise man that in charge of devising cunning plans is absent all the time. And the title of Mikawa tactician falls to Honda Masanobu, one of the top wise man in Mikawa. From that onwards,
Ieyasu’s personality changed greatly.”
“Is that so! That’s right. During Shitarahara, in Takechiyo’s base indeed has Honda Masanobu! Do their relationship really that good? Even more than I and Takechiyo?”
“Despite you and her are sworn sisters, but Ieyasu and Honda Masanobu maintained the relationship as ‘best friends’ for their lifetimes. Apparently, Ieyasu always had a talk with Masanobu alone in her room.”
“That Takechiyo actually invited her retainer to her room to stay over, that’s a little too much! Takechiyo is a girl that experienced her father and grandfather being assassinated by retainers, she treated her retainers well but she also a very shrewd person oh?”
“Understanding each other well even without words, maybe their relationship has reached to that extent. The reason for Honda Masanobu to be known at this timing but not before is due to her long-term absence from Mikawa.
Another reason is she devised tactics behind the stage for Ieyasu despite she’s not a samurai. Honda Masanobu is different from Yamamoto Kansuke and Kanbei, she has the dark history of betraying her lord, causing her to be inevitable to be known. But she does have very high wisdom. She’s better to be said as a strategist that devised strategies and tricks to bring victory instead of a tactician that thinks of tactics to be used in a battle. Moreover, she devoted absolute friendship and loyalty to Ieyasu. She can do any evil deeds for the sake of Ieyasu. I believe that ever since Masanobu left Mikawa, she was struggling between her beliefs and friendship for a long
time, and chose friendship at the end.”
“……..Takechiyo actually has a childhood friend or what. I also getting jealous already. Then, is Honda Masanobu the one that persuaded
Takechiyo to betray the Oda clan and joined the Takeda clan? If that’s the case, then I still can’t believe it no matter what. Takechiyo is a very honest girl, regardless of other things, she’s a very stubborn person.”
“Probably Honda Masanobu created a situation that Ieyasu was forced to betray the Oda clan.”
“Don’t tell me she brought out the proof that showed the Tokugawa clan will perish with the Oda clan if she doesn’t betray? Despite that, Takechiyo would probably choose to perish with me together after all.”
“If only I encountered with Honda Masanobu once during Shitarahara then maybe I could discover something.”
“I met with Honda Masanobu in a battle before degozaru”, someone gave out an unexpected comment.
She was Goemon. “Ei ei?”
“Goemon, you? At where? Did it happen when Tokichiro old man is still your partner? At least it’s not happened after you became my comrade right?”
“Umu. It did happen after I became your comrade degozaru. Actually—-”
That was when Matsunaga Danjo Hisahide was having the ‘act’ of revolting against Oda Nobuna at Yamato, Yoshiharu asked Goemon to steal the
treasure of Yamato Imperial Court that kept in Todaiji Shosoin, ‘Ranjatai’.
The Todaiji Shosoin collected a lot of valuable items that traded mainly with the Roman Empire through the Silk Road. One of them was the wood that can extend the life span of Omnyoji or spell casters that had ‘Qi’ in their body after consuming it, the ‘Ranjatai’.
Goemon conspired with Matsunaga Hisahide to steal the Ranjatai in order to save Hanbei. The plan was to let the Matsunaga army that betrayed Nobuna to intrude the Todaiji territory and cause destruction, then Goemon would sneak into the Shosoin that lack of guards and stole Ranjatai.
The ‘plan to save Hanbei’ executed perfectly, but when Goemon was desperate in finding Ranjatai, she encountered with a petite maiden general with her face covered with a black hood in that room of Shosoin.
That person was Honda Masanobu.
“What happened, Goemon? It’s ridiculous!? Didn’t Honda Masanobu joined the Honnya Temple after she left Takechiyo’s side?”
“Until Matsunaga-shi dismissed her retainers and self-explowded at Mount Tamon, that person served under Matsunaga-shi for a short time degojaru.”
“I heard of that before too! Despite Masanobu left Mikawa and joined the Honnya Temple, she did serve under Matsunaga Hisahide temporarily!”
Goemon remembered the appearance and the name of Honda Masanobu with thin existence during the ‘discussion’ with Matsunaga Danjo. Although she couldn’t see her face, but that pair eyes that was like burning silently in the dark of the night was something Goemon didn’t forget even though they never had a conversation at all.
Honda Masanobu sneaked into Shosoin around the same time Goemon did.
But she did not hold killing intent against Goemon. If she did, then Goemon would reflectively kill Honda Masanobu.
“Ohya! Honda-shi degozaru. Did Matsunaga-shi order you to find Ranjatai degojaru? Thewn, let’s find it sewparately.”
“…….No. I have been fired by the Matsunaga clan. Before leaving Yamato, I want to have a peek at the ‘future’.”
“Umu. ‘Future’!?”
“Yes. I went around Kinai while finding the lost chapter of the prophecy, ‘The future diary’ that was said to be written by Prince Shotoku. However, it was not in Tennouji that was confirmed to be in it. The era wrote is Sengoku era. The copies were written in papers were basically all burnt. But it might be in this Shosoin that no one can enter.”
“Umu. The prophecy of Prince Shotoku or what, it’s all written by the people that have blind faith degozaru. The ‘future’ is uncertain oh.”
“Matsunaga Danjo-sama also said that the research of the ‘future’ is
forbidden. If you want to see the ‘future’, then make sure you live long enough until it comes, the person that has its heart taken by the ‘future’ would be restricted by the ‘future’ and forget to live the life he or she has now. However, I want to know the ‘ending’ of this Sengoku Era no matter what.”
“I see………oh, is that so degozaru. I must find the Ranjatai right now, let’s say goodbye here, and remember to flee from the bawttlefield oh.”
“Okay. Good luck, ninja-san. No need to worry about me.”
Goemon had no time to have a further conversation with Honda Masanobu. She immediately reached the ceiling of Shosoin, searching over the ‘crates’ that kept the Ranjatai again, if she didn’t make it quick, the battle would be over.
“I, I found it! Here it is degozaru!”
Just when Goemon finally obtained the crate that kept the Ranjatai, Honda Masanobu’s voice was heard from the inner court. Probably Masanobu who usually talked in a quiet tone was too excited. “This is it! The rumor of being caught in Kyoto is real! The copies that were all written on papers were all burnt. But, the ‘Bonsho’ won’t decay easily. And it’s too heavy to steal! This is……the only ‘future diary’ remains in Japan. And it’s also the ‘final chapter’!”
When Goemon wrapped the Ranjatai with a piece of cloth and going to get out from Shosoin, in an instant, she saw the figure of Honda Masanobu again.
It was hard to understand why Shosoin had this kind of thing. In front of the rusty ‘Bonsho’, Honda Masanobu “This is. This is the ‘history’ that supposed to happen…..I finally found it” with her body shivering, and calmed down afterward.
With the help of Yoshiharu’s ‘translation’, Nobuna who heard the story of Goemon tilted her head.
“Is that so. The ‘future diary’ of Prince Shotoku which is the prophecy in legend, but it’s just a blind faith isn’t it? What was actually written on the ‘Bonsho’?
“I’m not clear degozaru. And it’s hard to get into Shosoin again degozaru.”
“If you enter without permission then you will be the enemy of the Imperial Court ne.”
“Since the incident of Ranjatai was stolen happened. And we cut off a piece of Ranjatai, it’s impossible to get in there easily anymore.”
“Prince Shotoku was written as ‘the person who knows future’ in the ‘Japan history’, in other words, he’s a prophet.”
“Nobuna. Speaking of that, Kusunoki Masashige was unyielding in taking down the Kamakura Shogunate was also because he read the ‘future diary’ he did it to follow the flow according to the written ‘future’. It feels alike to what Masanobu said.”
“That happened was because of Kusunoki Masashige being deceived by the fake ‘future diary’ and controlled by the ministers that planned to take down
the Shogunate right?” Nobuna who did not believe in prophecy and such things at all doubted.
“By the way, put the fake ‘future diary’ in the Shosoin, and even recorded it to the great ‘Bonsho’ is something that the current ministers cannot do after all…..”
“Anyway, Honda Masanobu ‘saw’ something. And then she returned to
Ieyasu’s side. As expected, Honda Masanobu grasped the secret of why the Tokugawa clan leave the alliance suddenly. Goemon! And also Kazu-chan! The enemy is the Hattori gang. Although it’s a very dangerous mission……can you two help me check around Masanobu and Ieyasu!?”
“Understood degozaru. The final battle for Sagara-shi and Oda-hime, if we can gwet back Tokugawa Ieyasu, then it’s ouwr victory degojaru”, Goemon agreed with a biting tongue.
However, the one who supposed to be tied in turtleback bondage on the ceiling keep yelling “Hmph, just kill me!”, the figure of Ishikawa Kazumune—- she disappeared when Yoshiharu, Nobuna, and Goemon were discussing Honda Masanobu.
The replacement was a pig hung on the air with turtleback bondage with “Booboo! Booboo!”.
“What is this? The ingredient for the pork pot……!?” “Boobooohohohoh!”
“Oh no degozaru! This is the Tanba ninja art, ‘animal transformation
technique’! With ‘Booboo–Booboo!’ to imitate ‘Hmph, kill me’, and deceived us.”
“One of the top secret locations of Japan, Tanba-Sasayama, it does scary enough.”
“Is Kazu-chan gone?” when Yoshiharu said that, Kazumune who got her freedom placed a ninja knife on his neck.
“Uwahhhh? When did she!?”
“Umu. Raise your hands up. However, you are not allowed to kill Sagara-shi degozaru, Nagamatsu!”
“Fufu. I won’t kill Sagara-shi. Just I was just careless so I was defeated by Oda-shi’s surprise attack. I just want to show my true power here degozaru.”
“That’s enough, just accept the employment from Sagara-shi yo!”
“Fufu. I will never be hwired by Oda-shi anwd Sagara-shi, but I am intrigued by Honda Masanobu and the chapter of the ‘future diary’ degozaru. I must infiltrate the baerrier made by the Hattori gang, grasp the secret of Tokugawa and prove to everyone that I am a more talented ninja than my elder sister degojaru. The pay for me to dwo it is very high oh, I want 10,000 kokus. Fufufu.”
“Umu, Nagamatsu! It’s too difficult for a single person, I am going too degozaru!”
“Ah, if you follow too, then I can’t prove my true power! Go away!”
“I will still follow even if you asked me to go aeway. I will return immediately awfter I got the answers! Sagara-shi, Odaw-hime, I’m sorry!”
“Oh. Don’t overextend yourself, Goemon! The Hattori gang is a strong foe, prioritize your life instead of the mission!”
“That’s correct. The two of you must come back alive!” “Roger!”
“I, I told you not to follow me!” “”Boom!””
After Ishikawa Kazumune and Goemon exploded smoke bombs and disappeared along with the pig.
While coughing from the smoke, Nobuna again held Yoshiharu’s back with her hands.
“Yoshiharu. Quick! We still have time here.”
She pleaded with a shaking voice and asked for a kiss.
“If it’s like usual being interrupted by ninjas then I will surely lose my mood, but during being stared by Yoshiharu when I’m being tied up with that
strange bondage makes my heart feels weird……am I getting a little abnormal?”
“Actually, it’s almost the same for me too so it’s not a problem. It’s better to say we saved the time to create the atmosphere again, it’s our luck. Nobuna, tonight, we will……!”
“Um, um. But. My, my body was still being tied up. But, but we have no time to untie it oh. Just, just do it this way…….”
“Oh, okay. Then, let’s do it. But, is it really fine, Nobuna?” “Of course it’s not! But, if it’s Yoshiharu, then maybe can.”
When Kazu-chan interrupted he hopelessly thought “Is the ‘fate’ going to
stop our night again”, but we still reached this moment—-! Despite it caused me and Nobuna to develop some strange habit, but turtleback bondage,
thank you!”
Yoshiharu who was thanking in his heart, and Nobuna breathing heavily like suffering pain, “Not good. For our first night to have bondage or what, it’s really not good. What if this became a habit……” “I, I also feel a bit.” and going to take the final step with embarrassment.
(Goemon and Kazu-chan went to the Tokugawa base. The ninjas that will suddenly throw smoke bombs are gone. The gate of Ogaki Castle was guarded firmly by Nene and others. The time for me and Nobuna to be combined has finally come! Ahah, my heart feels like it’s going to burst, my face is very red and my body is very excited, but the depths of my heart….no, something wrong. Wait. I feel like, it’s different from before, I want to make a mess on Nobuna? Just feeling like making a mess out of Nobuna……is it because Nobuna was being tied up by the rope!? I, I can right! As long we have love then even rope can be romantic! It, it doesn’t matter! Even if it becomes a habit, as long we have love then it doesn’t matter)
Although Yoshiharu’s feelings were a bit different from just now. Forget that, the two of them had passed through the obstacles and finally reached this moment.
Then followed by a merciless sound of the door being opened “Blah”, and.
“Ah. The ‘one quarter’ is over. Yoshiharu, hurry up and send the letter to
Kyoto, immediately. Really……..throwing smoke bombs everyone, and then the sound of pigs yelling were heard, what is going on here, what about your wedding night? Does a couple in love use smoke bombs and pig sound to create atmosphere? Is it the fetish from the future? Anyway, I can’t
understand………so? Why Yoshiharu tied Nobuna-sama up along with her clothes with a rope? Is there any wedding night weirder than this? As an elder sister, I must rectify my younger brother’s pervert act. By the way, if this is a fetish of Nobuna-sama, then forget what I said……”
Sagara Yoshihi holds the letter written by Iehisa in her hand while staring at Yoshiharu and Nobuna silently with a standing straight posture.
Nobuna “Uwahhhh! What am I actually doing……I’m sorry, Kojuuro! Hmph, just kill me!” mourned fully with embarrassment and despair, Yoshiharu hugged Nobuna tightly as he doesn’t know what would happen if he let go while “It’s over” lamenting, and he was almost lost conscious.
Currently, Nobuna, Yoshiharu, and even Yoshihi didn’t know.
At Kyoto, Akechi Mitsuhide was going to face a danger that risks her life—-
The wheel of ‘fate’ started to rotate.
