Nobunaga’s Imouto is My Wife

Episode 17: Running West Mino

My body is lazy.

In the darkness of the abyss, where I can't even see my body, I hear the sound of the pompous and my exhaling air bubbles.

There's a city princess next door, and she doesn't have my wife to love.

That's just the fact that it didn't take as long - to realize that this was the place to dream.

To the dark water bottom like a lake, I'm apparently even falling into it.

I stirred up my careless body, and I even froze. Otherwise I would be taken into the dark, and I would never be able to surf again - because I felt that way.

Bump your legs and scratch the heavily wrapped water with both arms.

Visually I didn't know the direction as if, but there was a sense of wonder and "approaching the surface of the water..."

But no matter how hard I swam, no matter how hard I tried, my body never got to the surface.

How much breath goes on, how much my body moves - such fear enters my mind and oppresses me.

Like paying for that restraint, a blurry light hit my retina.

I reach for the light and try so hard to surf.

The distance to the light I could feel such a will to keep me in the dark was slowly, but steadily narrowing.

Zabu, I surfaced to the lake.

The light is leaking from the land.

When I reached the shore and went up to shore - I was sad and I heard a cry as if I had lost hope of living.

If I stare in that direction, one woman cries powerlessly as the mountain is heavily decided and lit by an indoor lantern in ruins.

The figure looked familiar.

There couldn't have been.

- City!

I didn't come up with any clichéd questions about why I'm here - etc.

She's crying, where I'm based - that fact was the only thing that mattered.

If I try to run over to her, I stop feeling intense pressure from behind.

The sound of the lake rippling is awesome. I didn't feel like there was something there that I shouldn't have seen.

But sometime, my body is turning away from the City Princess so that I can suck it into the lake.

Instead of falling into the light at the end of my gaze, my vision remained dark, and I felt signs of a giant existence there.

――

I jumped off the hook.

Cold sweat is gushing out of my body.

The core of my body cut cold and my bees and teeth trembled.

(What was that, that dream...)

As I was taking the cloth off my pillow and wiping my sweat, the City Princess woke up noticing my anomaly and stared at me with anxious eyes.

"Dear Chang Zheng, are you okay......?

"Oh, oh... no problem"

As I behave in such a manner as not to worry the City Princess, I am frightened remembering the sights of my dreams.

(That lake is Lake Biwa -)

You can't see the signs outside through the midnight light window.

But I was intuitively convinced that the darkness that had been captured in my dreams was Lake Biwa.

And...

(The old castle that was abandoned... here it is -)

Even though it's a dream, it's too bad for me to get along.

If that was a dream, and Asai was doomed, and the princess was left alone...

When I accidentally stopped wiping my sweaty hand, the City Princess took my hand gently. I guess you borrowed a cloth and tried to wipe my sweat off.

But the moment she touched my hand, she said, "Ah...!" and breathtaking.

"Dear Chang Zheng, your body...!

"Good, never mind"

I tell the City Princess as I resume my sweat wipe.

"Looks like he's gone out there, and he's just cold."

The city princess shook her head as she sifted.

"Then why is the sweat so......!

"Never mind."

"But......!

"I'm telling you not to worry"

I got my nightgown messed up and went back inside the hook.

On the pillow, the princess leans over and puts her palm on my forehead.

"It's okay."

……

The princess still touched my forehead and neck.

Do you think I got sick? Though thin bright, from the way it works and the look on her face, I can see well that she is seriously worried about me.

"I'm sure you'll be fine."

I grab the princess's hand and get up.

And I held her thin shoulder as it was and dragged her into the hoof.

My beloved wife resists my actions.

"But...! If there's anything in your body... the city...!

I can't regret it if I repent......!

With such a sad voice, the City Princess is moving all the way out of my custody.

Japan in the Warring States era does not exist as advanced medical technology as it is in modern times.

Everything is at the level of folk therapy, and medicines are all dubious from my time.

For this reason, if you ever get sick... however light it is from us today, it was often immediately and directly connected to death. Even adult males are.

If you catch a cold, you get pneumonia and you die in just one month. That's the world of common sense.

I guess that's why the city princess is so desperate for me.

I embraced her body harder. It wasn't to miss, it was warm.

"City, please..."

"Dear Chang Zheng...?

You must have noticed something was wrong with me.

The City Princess has stopped resisting and is looking up at my face from inside my arms.

"It's cold... warm me up, please"

……

"It's cold, cold... I can't help it..."

"... Yes, Mr. Chang Zheng"

When the princess leans softly against me, she hugs me with her left arm and her right arm under my neck.

Her right hand was slowly stroking my back of the head, and with her right hand - pounding... pounding, gently slapping me on the back with a certain rhythm.

It's like a mother who sobs her child at night.

With pity, I was biting off such a sense of happiness that where I was chilling out melted out.

"Rest assured... Dear President"

The princess whispered to me softly.

"The city is here. By the side of the chancellor..."

My body twitches and warms up.

The fever of the city princess was gently enveloping my body.

Stimulation in the back of my head and back calms my mind that I was upset.

Feeling the warmth of my mother, I fell into a comfortable place.

Yonglu 10 (1567) 6 February, Dynasty.

The territory of the Asai family was more and more vibrant, and the people were running around the towns and villages to further diffuse the touches now conveyed in the morning.

"Hey, you know what? He said the hotel will maintain hot water (boiled water) throughout the Kitakomie."

"I know! Besides, if you donate 10 sentences, you can always use them and our names will be carved into the memorial!

"Besides, with the name of the hall..."

"Kolya, what a great thing..."

Side by side with towns and villages thriving on the new news - I was riding my interpretive moon hair and rushing through the Asai family's territory with my minister, Naotomo Taguchi (Higuchino Fusa).

Continue southeast through Kotani Castle and head south as you see Mount Ibushan on your left. If we proceeded from Omi Nagaoka to Kashihara, East Mountain Road would follow beyond.

(This is Sekigahara...)

Sekigahara is an empty land in the confines of mountains such as Maruyama and Sasako Mountain.

Everyone in Japan must know that in five years of Keio (1600), with this place as the main battlefield, the East Army led by Jiakang Tokugawa and the Western Army led by Sansei Ishida as the executing captains played a great showdown between the heavens and the earth.

By the way, in order to get from Omi to this land, there is no other way through the mountainous area or the mountainous East Mountain Road, so transportation is not very good.

"Dear Changzheng, the Saito family will be in the territory from here on out. Be careful."

"I know."

Nodding at the words of the straight room, we headed straight for the northeast of Sekigahara at once.

Sekigahara belongs to Minoku and is also the dominant area of the Saito family, which is currently in the middle of war with the Oda family.

But the match between the Oda and Saito families is basically taking place in the south of Mino, so West Mino's defense was relatively thin.

Because if the Asai family were to head to Sekigahara, the Hexagons would be after it, and vice versa.

The Saito family had successfully used the state where the Asai and Hexagonal families were troubled in the Kitakoku region.

And - I run through the land where the guard is weak, I run through the Interpretive Moon Hair.

It was the first view I saw, but it was the content of a dream I had last night that accounted for the majority of my thoughts on the Interpretive Moon Hair.

Destroyed Omi, crumbling Kotani Castle.

And the princess of the city, who swallows and cries alone, and the immense presence of the inexperienced......

It's like I don't understand what that dream is or what it means right now.

But it was like an apocalypse, and I couldn't truncate it as "just a dream..."

(If there are any omens, you should be fully prepared for that -)

Maybe he's in a hurry.

Or maybe you're extremely afraid.

On the horse of Interpretive Moon Hair, I thought to myself,

But of course.

In the first place, I was like, "I still don't know what this world is..."

Here, in the land of Japan that I know, there are people living in history that I know.

But then, it never works as it has in history. That was also evident in last month's Hexagonal invasion of Sawayama Castle.

And the biggest problem is the likes of the Interpretive Moon Hair - creatures called demons.

I don't know anything about that ecology, and I've never seen a demon other than a horse.

You have no idea what kind of bodies you live in, or how you relate to humans, and you don't.

I mean... I didn't simply trip into the past, I tripped into the parallel world of the Warring States - it's probably reasonable to think so.

(That's why you should keep all possible means)

But the means are also finite, not infinite.

Prepare for emergencies while developing the possession of Kitakomie to store wealth, developing a ministerial corps and successfully standing around in diplomacy…. Mostly because I'm only going to be able to practice about these four points.

(How easy it is if it is a world that moves as it has always been......)

Nevertheless, even if I thought about it, I couldn't believe it.

Whatever happens, I have to defend my territory as Lord of the North Omi.

And - as the husband of my beloved princess, I absolutely had to protect her.

Behind my brain, the hiccups of the city princess who was desperately trying to nurse me last night are recalled.

A woman who can put all that love on her husband probably doesn't have anyone in the world where I was, or I think it's pretty rare in this day and age.

You can't make her cry like that... you can't make her suffer.

And as an investment, Changzheng had broken into the Saito family's territory until he took the risk.

The aim, of course, is to develop the ministerial corps.

Changzheng and Nakamitsu crossed Kangahara, putting the Noodle Plains, Japan's premier expanse, into view.

By the way, this plain isn't just huge. The soil is abundant by the Kiso River, the Nagara River, and the Kofi River, and agricultural productivity is abnormally high.

Nobunaga Oda took quite a few years to drop Mino, while he quickly dominates all over Japan after he gets Mino. The reason for this is, after all, that we have obtained the abundant earth of Mino, which is exhaustive.

Those who control Mino control the heavens. Even so, it is a superb land.

But we're not headed to Inari Mountain Castle, which is the core of Mino.

It was Bodhisattva Castle in the mountains, just opposite our base Kotani Castle, sandwiched in the Ibuki Mountains.

"Dear Changzheng, this is where Hanbei Takenaka lives."

"Hmmm......"

Hanbei Takenaka, or Takenaka Shigeru Takenaka, is a staff member who supported Hideyoshi Hanzawa's "takeshita" with Kuroda Kurobe (Kuroda Kanbei), and is one of the most prestigious military fighters of the Warring States.

Speaking of the Half Soldier I know, he is a samurai like a dragonfly, who is also recorded as "the look of a lady," and ends up dying of illness at the age of 36.

Hanbei served Ryuxing Saito, the castle owner of Inaya Yamagata Castle, but he said it was an affair and that he had been harassed every day by other ministers because of his "madam-like" appearance.

Hanbei then dared to give such a coup against the Saito family. In 1564, with only 16 companions, he has succeeded in overnight seizure of Inaba Yamajo, which was regarded as difficult to defeat.

But Hanbei quickly returned Inaya Mountain Castle to Longxing and embarked on a wandering journey.

I guess I hated it a lot. I went on a journey to find myself.

And Hanbei arrived in Asai territory in Omi, where he said he lived for a while in the straight house I was bringing him.

By the way, Hanbei is now in hiding, and if he can dictate him ahead of the Oda family - the Asai Ministerial Corps will be quite thick.

(The problem is, it's not going to work so well...)

As me and Naoku slowly approached Bodhi Mountain Castle, armed soldiers ran to pieces and said, "What can I do for you!," he shouts as he sticks out his spear.

By the way, the Takenaka family took the position that our half soldiers themselves were hiding, so even when the Saito family humans came, they were basically all pushing them back with a gate-front payment.

The soldiers of the Takenaka family also perceive that we are quite the same from the fact that we are on horseback… and look at the Saito family again anyway. That's why I said, "What can I do for you!" I guess that's the question.

Then the straight room spoke to one of the soldiers,

"Asai family minister, says Naoto-ku. And this is Shogun Asai. That's all I can tell you about Lord Takenaka, and you'll guess right away. Take the next one."

I said.

The soldiers of the Takenaka family are already in trouble. It was pathetic to watch.

Anyway, the Asai family's "The Lord is Coming..." who can't handle the usual manualized "vs. the Saito family," and has not even formed an alliance, so it may have been natural to say that wolf.

(so-called) "No way......!? That's what I call it."

On top of that, from the Takenaka family, it means "I got into the realm at some point..." so maybe that's the element that accelerates their confusion.

While the soldiers were running to tell the people in the castle of my arrival, I decided to take a closer look at the castle of the Han Guard because of my interest.

Bodhisattva Castle is a mountain castle, just like Kotani Castle, where I live.

There was probably a main circle at the top of the mountain, roughly 400 metres long, with defenses such as "Yagura" stretched all over the middle of the mountain and the hemline. Quite a splendid structure.

"Oh......! Naoto-san! Isn't that Naoto-kun!

"Slightly! Are you Shinohari! This has been a long time!

Coming out of the castle gate was a big, muscular man. Speaking of straight rooms, he immediately descends from his horse and walks over to the side of the man, shaking hands with disappointment.

Meanwhile, when it came to me, I was deeply freaked out by the wild voices rolling out of that huge silhouette. I mean, I don't think there's one that's big and muscle doesn't freak out looking up at a gutty guy.

Anyway, this man, even if he's wearing a kimono, he knows exactly what kind of flesh he's got under the fabric.

He is the number one person I don't want to see in the middle of the night.

"So, this is..."

"That's right. He is our Admiral Asai, the former Chief Executive Officer."

No way. "Yasu!" There's no way I can say hello.

I feel like this meat Dharma is going to crush me if I do that.

I stepped out of my interpretive moon hair and offered my hand to the big man.

"It's the chancellor. I know you very well."

Yes - Anyway, this heavy moment is the man who beat Naoshi Endo in historical fact. You can't possibly know.

But the moment of gravity puzzles me in my actions, and I seem to be in the middle of something.

Finally, I recall that he is only a Saito minister by name.

Well, it doesn't matter.

Anyway, the moments of gravity are huge, and it's interesting to watch the suspicious behavior.

"... this is how the chancellor is."

That's what the straight room said to the heavy moment.

"Rather, in this case, it would be disrespectful if you didn't take your hand early."

"Ya...... it is a bamboo medium heavy moment. I've heard so much about the noble name of Shimamoto."

He's gonna break his hips, hold my hand, and he's gonna say hi. Heavy moments.

When I saw that, I felt like I was part of a rugby club that was greeting me. I really don't know.

"Please, come inside. Our Lord Shigeji is waiting for you."

"Uhm."

Dive through the castle gate of Bodhisattva Castle and head to Honmaru.

Since we were to break up with the Interpretive Moon Hair at the Horse Connection, just in case, I told the caregivers, "Don't touch her with one finger if you don't want to die".

By the way, speaking of its interpretive moon hair, it looks right and left at the horse junction. Anyway, I guess I'm looking for even a mesmerizing stallion.

While admiring the interior of Bodhisattva Mountain Castle with a guided tour of heavy moments, it was the castle owner's hall in the bend that was brought to him.

That's like making some nostalgic scented Japanese house huge, with a snug, extremely heavy look from the outside.

In my former world, Japanese houses disappeared completely, all lined up with similar western-style houses, so I'm plain thrilled with this kind of architecture.

Heavy torque opens the door to the building and invites us inside.

The inside of the hall was slightly dim and it took me a little while to get used to it as I walked out the bright.

Cross the hallway looking at the giant back of the heavy moments that lead us. Cross.

And...

"This is my brother's room."

Heavy moments told us that, and then he spoke to the half guard who would be waiting in the room.

"Dear Shogun Asai, Naoto-ku has arrived!

"Please, come in"

The crisp moment opens and prompts you to enter.

That's where I've been waiting.

"It's Chuji Takenaka. Naoto-kun, and Shimamoto. You've come a long way this time."

- He was a good-looking voice man, who just looked like a beautiful girl no matter how he looked.
