Nobunaga’s Imouto is My Wife

- Echimae Kokuni Ichigo Valley, Moment of the Jubilee (around 2pm).

The atmosphere surrounding the Square Valley is cold, and people's exhaling breath disappears when it becomes white.

Although it was a land with exceptionally low temperatures throughout the year compared to its hometown of Omi...

That's why I couldn't have spent a day without reason.

Yoshido Kawagawa, the premier cabinet member of the Asakura family, is the head of the Ichigo Valley Shiseido.

And informed by him, the true meaning of the North Omi invasion.

That is, the invasion of Kitakomie is only a glare for the mastery of the Asakura family's destiny, Young Narrow Country...

And in addition to that, me and my fathers - Asai Shizukura, who had fled to Asakura, said it was a military operation that could be "truncated at any moment".

Given that, it's just a waste of everyday time.

It was no longer obvious that we had to encourage training so that we could survive.

You can't waste exactly a second - every day of such a tense battle went on.

"Stand up Yikes, the chick from Asai!! Your power is to that extent ah!!!

In a hazy consciousness, I thought I heard a voice scolding me, and a ton of water was bathed in my face.

Cold in my mouth. And as I swallowed, I regained consciousness, clenched my bamboo knife, and stood up fluttered.

"You have time to lose your mind! You poor bastard!! Whilst you are doing that... you have to discuss this. The guards are accumulating strength!!!

It must have been the one that showered the water earlier. Grab an empty bucket and a big man will inspire me.

Truly straightforward.

He is a giant man over 2 meters in length - and a twin brother of a genuine brother who is training me.

"Be serious! Drop the stray!! Don't give up, Mayuki!!! Move over, let me see you move over, bro. WOW!!!!

"Ooh, responding...... ugh!!

There was a lot of bright white hot air rising out of my squad yard.

I'm not the only one who's cheering and encouraging you.

"- Come on!

- He's been doing me an archery for the last few days without getting tired of it, standing up from his body.

Those two legs of stepping on the soil of the squad yard with Dosun remind me exactly of the great tree that roots in the earth.

The arms are thick as a whole, and the bamboo knife gripping with one hand is like a child's toy.

His name is Naoto Masaru.

He is the head of the most elite unit and genuine crowd of the Asakura Family Ministerial Regiment and has a giant as does his younger brother, Naoku.

Unlike my bloodthirsty brother, who is hot and bitter no matter what he does, he is a calm and sedentary samurai who doesn't do anything to push his emotions forward.

But the hegemony was burning in the back of his eyes as he was archaizing me - still essentially, he had a hot personality, just like his brother.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa!

"- Sweet"

With a bamboo knife, his bamboo knife is swept aside.

That blow is just how fast it is out there - I can't even dodge it and get blown away by a terrific blow in the flank.

The bamboo knife that hit my flank was crushed and broken, and my distorted vision, lying flat on the ground with a sledge, showed Naoto's back preparing his 20th replacement bamboo knife today alone.

"Get up, get up! What are you doing, Mayuki!! Is your thoughts to that extent!!! I don't think you're sorry for the princess!!!!

I can hear Naoto-chan, but I know I don't have to be told that.

Every night, every night, she comes home scratched - she's forced to change her crying expression to a smile and take care of my wounds.

If what Yoshito taught us is true, we Asai Momentum will probably be treated like disposables in this match.

But if there's anything like a dog dying there - I can't apologize to Princess Wei, the wife who has supported me so far.

"Ugh...... Awwwwwwwww!!

"- Nmmm...!

Forced to put his strength into his hips, he clenched his bamboo knife, approaching straight ahead, approaching.

As he was pulling out a new bamboo knife, he stepped on the earth and showed his unique structure.

I'm sure that's trying to see if I understand his teachings.

"Awwwwwwwwwww!!

Yelling, but my head was calm.

What the genuine brothers taught us is the importance of looking at their limbs.

People always use muscles when moving their bodies. Therefore, observing the opponent's muscles also leads to determining the width of their movements.

Makoto says that you will be able to identify it even from the clothes and armor - if this is possible, you will have a better chance of surviving on the battlefield.

"So hey, hey, hey!!

I honestly haven't mastered the extremes they're telling me yet.

But still, I think it's changed a lot since I was able to get my true brothers to do the archery.

At least one blow of my bamboo knife is easily dealt with by physical movements alone, because it's gone.

"Ahhhhhhhhhh!!

"- Huh!

Bounced my flash back and bounced up a bamboo knife.

At that moment, I feel the immense giant of Naoto sinking and entering the accumulation.

"- Mmmm!!

A special knife that plays up your opponent's knife and then rotates your own body and instantly cuts it up diagonally.

It is also a secret move, in which he has defeated numerous soldiers and generals.

And the moment I recognized the movement - my consciousness was once again to be pruned.

◆

In the end, I completed four days of burning blade training without ever being able to plunder a bamboo knife into my brothers' body.

By the time I regained consciousness, the sun was falling, and my body was laid between the boards of the genuine mansion - right next to the enclosure.

- Are you awake?

He looks at me sideways as Naoto bends over his massive muscle-like flesh, whisking back the ashes in the enclosure with a fire scratch stick.

"... facial, no"

……

"Apologize, Mayuki."

Next to me, who was inadvertently leaking an apology, Naoto said his voice was low, but still hot and painful.

"Were you doing an audition with your brother just to apologize... You made me spend the time like I had to apologize to my brother...! You're not, there, happy!! 'Thank you!' but heh!!!

That's what I said, he pulls my back right with his huge hands.

I know it's pretty modest as Naoto-chan, but it was quite an awesome blow to a normal person like me.

For a moment, to the extent that it gives me the illusion that I can no longer breathe.

"It's okay, it's okay, don't worry, don't worry! You worked so hard, that's my brother and I know it! It's okay, it's okay, you're a lot more advanced today than you were yesterday!

……

"- Yeah, right."

Naoto said Bosori, not looking at me, scratching the ashes as usual with a fire scratching stick.

"- Progress is, it is, steadily. I still want to see growth… I think so, to a certain extent"

"Hey, look at that! That's what my brother says... don't get dark, don't get dark! The sky is enough to darken! We're always the sun! Yikes like the sun! You should light up your surroundings!"

Naoshi says so and slaps me on the shoulder again.

"You're married to that princess! If you hadn't stumbled on that, I wouldn't have had a brother's position that I couldn't help but want the princess. Wow!

"- Naoto."

Naoto says in a lower voice.

- Shut up for a second.

"Ouch!

And Naoto looks at me sideways and then shifts his gaze to the ashes behind the furnace again.

"- Old, it's a story. It's not like you care."

"... Yes"

But you can't be worried about me saying that.

The militant leader who forms the backbone of the Asakura army, who wanted Princess Wei and couldn't help but want her.

Maybe it's because of me - he couldn't get the woman he liked.

- What about your brother? I wrote a love letter every day to the princess! Sometimes you pick beautiful flowers. Oh, I gave them to you. Wow! Yet, Yoshikami ha!!! Yitz the princess in politics!!!!

- So shut up.

"Oops!!

Sighing deeply, Naoto told him to whine.

"- Well, even if I hide it, I can't help it. The princess is a wonderful woman. Sure, I... I've told Yoshiki-kun many times that I want my wife to talk to him directly. If you look at the current situation, you'll see."

"... it"

- But you don't care.

Naoto shrugged so, pulling the fire scratch stick in front of him and scratching what was buried in the ashes.

That's a lot of chestnuts.

It looked like a delicious chestnut, carefully fired through the ashes.

"- Naoto. Bring the bag. Let me take this with me. Chestnuts have good luck. I need you to live."

"… how so?

I said, "Okay, brother!," he exclaims, shifting his gaze from Naoto-chan, who began to look for the sachet - and asks as he confronts Naoto.

"I'm supposed to be a lover to Lord Naoto..."

"- I, Princess, if you're happy, that's fine."

He grabbed a chestnut that was supposed to be pretty hot in the palm of his hand, and what a fingertip to break one of them - eating the contents, then telling him to whine.

- I visited Princess Wei's house a long time ago, in your absence.

……

"- Princess Wei, sewed, was there. I was happy to fix your underwear."

……

"- So, I thought. I said," I'm not in the world. "

Naoto also breaks chestnuts to pinch them with his fingertips and sticks them out at me.

Thanks for that, I saw his face as I felt the heat enough to burn my palm.

There's a sunny face there.

"- So I'll work you out. May the Princess not grieve."

"... thank you, sir"

- Yeah, so, good.

From the corner of the room, I said, "They found us. WOW!!" A hot and bitter voice sounded, and Naoto laughed bitterly, too.

"- That brother, May Fly... but he's a good man. What I'm saying is, I've got an idea and a target... Mayuki."

"Yes."

"- You ask around too much. Be a little dignified, I hope. That's about right. After that, be positive. If you ask around too much, people will be crushed, into all sorts of things"

Even on the battlefield, yes - Naoto told me to tell him.

"- Remember. Those who die in battle, look around, not to be killed. It's the cause of death, and I don't even know it will."

……

"- Whoever survives, only in front of him, sees. To live, destroy the enemy in front of you first. If we can't get rid of the threat in front of us... we have to die."

"First of all, the enemy in front of you..."

"- Oh."

And Naoto laughs low.

"- Right. If you survive... Let's do the audition again. Whether you're in the Kitami River, the One-Way Valley, or wherever you are. If he dies... right. When I get the princess, shall I?"

……

It's - just think, it feels like your stomach tightens upside down.

Imagine it makes me sick.

I guess that's all I'm obsessed with, my wife.

(Absolutely, I'm going home alive......!

Yes, I'm determined.

I don't care how much they were after that big brother.

"Brother Yi-hoo! Can I get a sack of hemp?

- Enough.

Naoto offered me a chestnut in a sachet knitted in hemp from Naoto, each hot ash.

"- Tonight, eat this. And prepare for tomorrow's battle. We will, too."

"Thank you, thank you......!

"No!!!

Straight clear pointing and shouting about me from such an awesome position as to have defied my body.

"In" It Was There, "nah!!! 'Thank you!' Ah!!!! Correctly, 'keep it up please' aah!!!!"

"- Yeah, right."

Naoto said with a low laugh.

"- Still, only four days, we're dating. From now on, the relationship will continue. It has to go on. Yourself, with your hands."

"... Yes!

And I thanked him and tried to quit the Mansion - it was then.

"Are the real brothers here? It's me, I want to tell you something - oh...?

Magnificent opening of the doorway of the true mansion with graceful tricks - only a woman can see it at first sight, a skinny young man came in.

She has beautiful dark green hair and stretches it out to her shoulder.

The hair texture is fluffy and seems soft to watch. The tip of the forehead is stretched between the eyes and the eyebrows, but not too much with the forehead visible.

Her skin was white, her eyes were large and her eyes were upward looking. There is a mole in the right eye area, which is also accented.

Her eyes were blue and well moisturized, making her think rugged.

My body only looked luxurious, but if I gazed closely, my arms were thinner and tighter, and I could see better that my muscles were tighter.

He was dressed like a so-called "walking witch", but his figure was not feminine, but rather grand.

With two pairs of massive swords to the left and right on the hips and a total of four, you can see that your skill is a samurai anyway.

"Who are you? That's your first face. Are you the newly-hired youngest by the true brothers?

"Ah... no, I..."

I'm confused by all the childish things that you say.

When you see me confused, a man like a woman obviously looks at this one with a surprise.

"- Long and prosperous, those there say," Politburo. "Successor of the Asai family."

"Hey, Naoto! And... I see... huh? This guy, huh?

Called Long-Term, he waved as he jumped pimply at Naoto, who slowly came from behind - now he sat back and peered into my face from the bottom.

"Recently rumored, Mayuki Sama? I see... you have a pitiful face that just came running from Omi with your tail wrapped around it. The Omi people are basically low back. Like the Hexagons."

"- Long and prosperous"

"No, Naoto. I know, I know."

To put it that way, the rude woman man, holding my hand - leaning his neck with his upper eyes.

"I'm sorry. I'll be honest with you about what I think..."

"No, the... I..."

"You haven't introduced yourself yet, Mamichi Sama. I'm Toyota Nagato. I came to the Asakura family from the clouds, a priest. Though I've only been serving war lately."

Cute, smiling colorfully - long breeds softly, mouth to my ear.

"Hey, you want to talk about me, too? - I don't know, tonight."

"Nah......!

He glanced at me wandering around and said, looking at Naoto with a frightened face.

"- Long and prosperous. What are we talking about? Tell me what to do."

"Right. That's better, isn't it? Okay, I'll let you go up."

Makes me meditate on one eye and smiles - long and prosperous goes up between the boards, taking off my footwear and scattering it, not to mention my own home.

"- Politburo"

"Yes..."

To me, who was so confused by the shock, Naoto said in a sigh, but with a serious face.

"- You too, for a while now, better stay,"

That's because even the Asakura family is extremely important - Naoto said so, closing the front door open, pissed off.

◆

I go up between the floors of the Mansion again.

I could see the long and prosperous movement that had gone in without opening the furnace, hugging Naoto, who was sitting down in front of the enclosure.

You can still see the shin (shin), which is white and smooth because you are shaking your feet.

Whatever that looks like, it just seemed like a witch trying to get food by hitting the spring...... but still, I guess it's a pleasure to be hugged by a beauty.

Naoto-chan's face doesn't seem like it's going to get any better.

And with the hot and painful momentum of the example, we are talking about something with long and prosperous.

"- Long and prosperous, be friendly, be."

Naoto said that as he tightly closed each and every one of the pigeons that Long-Term had left open.

"- He's not a freak. Wearing the face of a freak, a madman."

"Ha... ha..."

I get in trouble for what to react to as I watch giants do every single task on a few fronts.

Isn't it a race that's just bad in nature, such as a lunatic posing as a freak?

"- You can pretend to be rational, madman. So you can use demons as wives and husbands, he is."

"... Huh?

Naoto pounds my shoulder.

That's all, I feel like he's shrunk in height - but he's peeking into my face, all right.

"- Long and prosperous only against men and demons. There are many people in Asakura who have physical ties to him. That's all there is to influence."

Crazy, though.

Naoto says so, going with his big crotch to the long and prosperous where he is rubbing his body while eating Naoto's earlobes.

"- Long and prosperous, first, let me tell you something. Your opponent, from then on."

"Damn, you're really stupid. What about your true brother? Well, I love that place, too. Hey...... can you get me drunk again tonight with your brother's hot roll?

- Well spoken, Mayfly.

"It's true, bro!

- You, too.

Naoto's voice was blurry, but his face is cordial.

Probably a really close threesome. One behaves like a child, a man like a woman. And though he's a freak.

"- What are you doing? You too, come quickly."

That's what I'm saying, Naoto's inviting you.

Sitting beside the furnace as he invited me, the heat emanating from it fluttered and enveloped my body.

Comfortable, warm.

I'm sure I'm not the only one who can help but reassure you when you see the fire.

"Uh... right. This time you went to Kitakomie for Sama Masaki. Was it for Kuzheng Sama? Well, either way as far as I'm concerned."

"- So, tell us, what's the errand? Asai's, information?

I guess you saw the story never start when you let it talk too long.

Naoto cuts out the bumps, and the long and prosperous snorts.

"... to put it in short, the situation sucks. Earlier, Snow came back from Kitakomie - apparently, Asai Fang has read about this movement. Asai's got defensive platoons all over the place, and I think he's waiting for me by pulling the shank to welcome him."

The moment I heard that - I felt that kind of pressure, like a heavy stone was placed in my belly's lower abdomen.

(Big brother, what's going on here, Echizen?

Is that possible?

Even if they were separated by mountainous areas and let the interveners go - they couldn't possibly detect the military operations started in Echimae just four days ago on the Kitakoe side.

That was a feeling because it was actually raw to Omi and lived there.

Omi is built around Biwako, but its surroundings are covered by mountain ranges.

In other words, between Echizen and Kitakomie, the mountains of Ibuki and Hubei and Nosaka are connected, and basically we have to cross the mountains.

(Yet... in such a short period of time...)

Zokri, and I feel like my spine freezes.

The elder brother, Mae Shouxi, was an outstanding figure from the beginning - among other things, since marrying the princess of the Oda family, he had made a different appearance than before, as people had changed.

His elder brother, Mahjong, or Naoshi Endo, who is also close to his elder brother, seemed to receive the change in preference...

(To me, it's horrible and I can't wait...)

I know because I've turned to his enemies, this feeling.

Fighting Big Brother is nothing more than attacking Kitakomie means going to the dead - that's what I think.

(But how could Long and Prosperous give such information...?

I don't know who Snow is, but from what I can tell, is it the woman he's holding?

Such a number of questions come to mind, but apparently the true brothers were basically the same.

"Ohh wih! That's what I mean!

- Let's hear it. Why?

Hot and calm voices intersect, long and prosperous speak out.

"I don't know why. I can't say, with certainty, yes. [M] The only thing we know is the fact that Akai Premier is conducting military operations to defend Kitakoe as we do."

Therefore, Long and Prosperous put his index finger on his upper lip from his forehead, bruised and tilted his neck cutely.

"Perhaps the prep guard brought in an excellent sneak. That, too, is pretty good...... Because I heard as I deepened my love with the leaders of the Aboga people, but apparently some of the sneakers who had infiltrated the Kitakoe have not returned. Foolish diagrams of previous generations... No disrespect, from the time of Kuzheng Sama until recently, though I no longer came all I wanted because of the likes of" Ninja Heaven ". It won't go the way it's always been."

"Hmm..."

Naoto put his arms together for a while and thought about something, then asked.

"- Your scouting in Snowflake is no longer possible?

"No, I don't mind if you go check it out..."

That being said, Long and Prosperous dyes his cheeks and sends his eyes straight up.

"Well, this evening... I'm going to nurture love with her. So you can't. If you leave what you love behind, they'll kill you."

Something he says, but my head was confused.

A monster is a nocturnal monster and a threat to man.

Because my eyes are so weak in the light, I can throw them out if I burn the fire.

Snow? Cultivate love...?

- In many ways, my head was about to burst.

You must have noticed me confused, Naoto explains with a ridiculous laugh. It feels hot and bitter.

"Ah, right! You didn't know Mayuki!!

Naoto continued, laughing gahaha.

"He's not a man or a demon!! Snowflake haha, it's about the chick he keeps. I've been raising her since she was a chick!! People don't attack me, and I'm already having a sitting boy and all kinds of awesome!!!

"Well, that's good. That's not true."

I've just been taught that straight ahead - but in any case, it's definitely not the kind of story that needs to be "about that".

Demons and themselves, making money on sitting children, etc. - I can't think of it in the nerves of ordinary people.

It's exactly what I think of as a madman, but when Long-Term really laughed like "I don't care," he put his eyes on me softly.

"Mind your own business, Sama Masano. Your brother seems to be seriously trying to kill you and your father Sama. Well, the Hexagons seem to be showing some seriousness this time too, so hopefully we can figure it out"

Then I'll go to Sama the Mirror. [M]

With that said, he has jumped out of the mansion without closing his temple, just as he did when he arrived.

My brothers were talking about something, but I couldn't understand it.

(My elder brother... is killing me... me and my father...)

The fact that you knew and were prepared is going to crush you right now.

Once again, I realized that I had come to a point where I couldn't turn back.

◆

I don't even know how I got home.

When I realized she was in the house, and even though the princess looked worried, she gave me a rice cake.

"Tomorrow, it's a sunny day for Mr. Mayuki… hey, let me give you some luxury"

And I'm offered something bigger, a whole fish roasted and salt shaken.

On the princess's side, there is nothing the same.

I just have a rice cake and a spoon.

"... only yours...?

"It's good, I am"

Princess Wei smiles softly.

"Absolutely, so"

……

I guess that means you don't have as much ex as you can prepare your own fish.

Still, I want you to concentrate at all costs on me for refraining from fighting tomorrow - perhaps so, Princess Wei bought the fish.

Early tomorrow morning, I leave the valley.

And perhaps, at this hour tomorrow, there must never be a life or death for me.

Big Brother is a general who specializes in short-term shocks and ambushes.

If you know that Asakura Army's righteousness lies in your father and my return to Kitakomie, it was more obvious than seeing fire that you would have sniped at us from the beginning.

"Besides, Masano, I've worked so hard to get here... Speaking of authenticity, the best rigid person in the house. I'm sure it will be hard to work out too...... Your injuries are plentiful..."

"That's all I'm saying is that they were doing it for real."

I said as I strengthened, looking at my anxiously rocking wife.

She knows very well that my body is already falling apart in so many ways that she handles my wounds every night.

In the Asakura family, bamboo knives created by wrapping quality bamboo in cloth are used in training, but if tapped, moles can be used.

Besides, the person I trained was the man who, according to the princess, had revealed his love for himself.

I guess I'm worried and worried that I haven't been caught badly.

On the night of the second day since I started training, I've been crying about how to make too many terrible moles, and I've complained about discontinuing my training - probably because of those past.

But unlike what the princess thinks, the genuine brothers are extremely gentlemanly and sincerely attached to their training with me.

That's all I had to tell him. Not now, at least someday.

"Hey, only..."

"What is it, Mayunoshi?"

"Fish, half...... eat me"

When I say that, Princess Wei looks surprised and now she looks sad and shakes her head.

"That's... no. Tomorrow is an important day for Masano...... That's why I bought it."

"Please, what?"

Look at his wife's face illuminated by the scarlet light behind the furnace.

A gap breeze blew into the house, burning up so that the jaws could stir up.

"Hey...... can't you? I'm with you..."

"No, sir."

"I... could be dead tomorrow. That's about it, even if you ask..."

"Don't tell me!!

With a sad voice, Princess Wei blocks her ears with her hands and circles her body.

It's like protecting yourself from something.

Or, to protect her heart, she screams as she blocks her ears.

"I won't die!! Shinoji-san, don't die!!! You can't leave me!!!!

"Ah..."

In front of her like that unusual wife, I only get hardened for a moment.

I don't know much about the background of my wife, Princess Wei.

When it comes to the only thing I know, I am the sister of Lord Yoshikaze, but the mother's status is never high.

Princess Wei never tried to talk about her past or her mother, nor did I try to pry deeply into it again.

But to see this reaction - perhaps she's already separated from her mother.

And I have a pretty strong fear for something called death.

The only thing I could understand was how stupid I am to a boulder.

"I'm sorry... but that's all, I just wanted to say"

"No, I hate it!! I don't want to hear, I can't believe I want to hear it!!!

But the princess is more of a powerless woman.

Being a man, if I put a little effort into it, I can easily get my hands off my ears, or I can restrain my movements.

By rushing over to her and hugging her, I sealed that thin arm off my ear.

(Really, it's a luxurious body...)

Embrace me, I feel that way.

I wonder what kind of past you carry on your body that is going to be so thin and broken.

If it's hard and painful, I'd like to carry some of the load instead...

(But do I deserve that if I'm not a 'couple'?)

With that in mind, I embraced the only princess strongly.

I feel like I have to. If I don't hold her here, I feel like I'm losing everything.

I'll hold the princess's limb. As strong, strong, and really likely to break.

"Listen, only"

"No... no..."

"Please."

Princess Wei has been resisting jitters for some time - but she is a wise woman.

How much time would I have spent doing that?

As she continues to embrace the only princess, she gradually stops resisting - slowly, but she regains her sanity.

"... Shino-no-san"

"... what?

"Sorry... do... me, disturb..."

"No... fine. Because I don't care."

Grab the princess's shoulder and gently release herself.

I glanced into her face, and I looked sorry, and I lay my eyes down.

"I... I'm sorry. Weird things to say... make you anxious"

"Chi, no......! It's not bad, I... I'm all...!

"No, I'm not... I'm not"

Also, embracing only the princess's shoulder, I say.

That is not against her in one way or another, it is also a word to say to herself.

"I seem to have been anxious. I had to fight my big brother, and that's a future I'd already decided, but I'm putting that fact in front of me again, and I'm butting in."

……

"Big brother, he's a great guy. I don't want to end up like that, I don't want to end up in a bunch, I don't want to end up like that. Such a big brother comes to kill me and my father... I think I'm frightened of that fact. I'll be back no matter what happens to you - yes, I've made up my mind."

"Mayunoshi..."

Two tears fell down both cheeks of Princess Wei.

"How... do you...?

……

"Why... are you going to fight...?

"Oh, that's..."

"Is that all you want to be...? Is the status of the head of the Asai family really necessary for Masano!?

Only the princess will sue me, holding my hand, with her gazing eyes.

"Let's run......! I am fine...! No matter how painful it is, even if you starve to death, still as long as you stay Mayuki......!

"Yu, only...!

"I don't want to lose it, I don't want to lose it......! I... don't want you to go anywhere dangerous.

Blurry and dripping, my wife's tears.

Leaking a whimper, she's desperately squeezing my hand without even trying to hide it.

But I suppose only princess knows.

That I, at least from this battle, cannot escape.

"I'm sorry..."

"Oh no... Mr. Masayuki...!

"I... honestly, I don't need the seat of the head of the Asai family. I'm not even interested."

"Then... then... Huh!

"But if I don't keep going for that seat... I'm sure I'll be something that I don't really need for the Asakura family. Besides, not being in this fight... it means I'm abandoning my father."

If I did that, I'd be gone.

With that said, Princess Wei cried with a trembling shoulder.

All I can do is stroke her in grief. That's all I'm allowed to do.

"But only... I want you to believe me. I will definitely come back alive. I still want to make a lot of memories with you..."

"Mr. Masayuki... Mr. Masayuki... Eh!

"And... I..."

I haven't held you yet.

With that said, Princess Wei shook her body.

I guess I didn't expect the boulders to say that on this occasion.

But I just didn't want to keep crying about the woman I love...

"When I return alive, I will only... hold you. Make it my only, true wife. So... definitely, I'll be back"

"Mayuki......"

"I can't believe I'm dying without holding you once... because I don't want to do that"

And hugging her - I said.

"But...... by then, I want it to be better fleshed, because it's okay for a little while. I prefer to be a little fat."

……

"So let's eat fish together. Besides, I got chestnuts from the brothers. Let's eat together and we'll both go to bed early today, huh?

"... Shino-no-san"

Though far from smiling, the colour of sorrow had disappeared from the face of the only princess.

I stroke my chest down inside as I watch it and gently mouth her lips.

I pressed my lips against each other for a while - if I slowly let go of my face, Princess Wei was blushing as she stumbled with a look she said she didn't know what to do.

"Remember... I will, I will, until I hold you - I have to die"

"... Yes, Mr. Mayunoshi"

Princess Wei tells me to whisper as she softly hugs me.

"Promise… so"

……

"I'm waiting for you... to welcome you back, Mayuki, all the time..."

"Oh......!

Inside a borough mansion with a gutter wind.

We overlapped our lips and kept hugging each other to even feel their body temperature.

The more we touch each other, the more we feel beside each other, the more we can be transformed into strength...

I guess I thought somewhere in my heart of such an innocent thing. Me too, Princess Wei.

Even if it was a preface to a story of despair - even such tiny hopes we had to live with.
