Volume 1 Chapter 2 Part 6

Saito Dosan easily handed over the Mino province which he wagered his life on and stole from its previous daimyo, and was now smiling at Oda Nobuna, someone whom he considered his enemy not that long ago.

With her mouth upturned, Nobuna took the handing over document without saying any thanks to Dosan, and she put it into her pocket without even bothering to read it.

(So this baboon geezer wasn’t just a perverted old man after all.)

Although Yoshiharu was still being held down by Inuchiyo, he was feeling pretty good about how the situation developed.

This is it! This is what the Sengoku era is all about…!

However, Yoshiharu’s feelings were immediately turned to nothing.

「… With that said, would you allow me to touch your butt a bit, my sweet daughter… fugya?!! 」

「Why do I have to have my butt touched by someone like you, you perverted baboon geezer!? 」

The moment Dosan had tried to sexually harass her, Nobuna had kicked him in the face without a shred of hesitation, and she proceeded to drive her foot into it with all her might.

(So he really got intoxicated by Nobuna’s ladylike behavior and handed the entire province to her because of it, but deep down inside he was just a perverted geezer, huh? )

Yoshiharu thought with a sigh.

The meeting was then finished safely with Dosan coming near Nobuna countless times while repeatedly saying: 「Won’t you let me rub your breasts, Nobuna-chan? 」 and being kicked and hit for it, and once Nobuna was unable to handle it anymore, she grabbed him and threw him into the garden with a gigantic swing.

Many times the follower of Dosan, who was waiting in the garden was reaching her hand to the hilt of her sword while saying: 「T-That was too rude! 」. Well, it was a natural thing for her to say, but Inuchiyo’s quiet stare convinced her to give up on the idea and put her hand away from her sword.

The alliance of the Owari and Mino provinces was formed, Dosan even wrote the 「Handover of Mino」document and promised to become Nobuna’s ally.

(But can an entire province really be handed over without any incident happening?)

Be that as it may, Yoshiharu was able to complete the first phase of his promise to Tokichiro, and he successfully became a foot soldier employed by Oda Nobuna. He was a bit worried about it occurring without any harm, but even now in his chest, there was something hot burning.

He admired the Sengoku era games, he read the Sengoku era manga, and the stuff shown in the Sengoku era TV dramas had become his dreams. However, no matter what one might say, the truth is always going to be different from fiction.

What he saw today had an overwhelming impact on him.

The genuine Saito Dosan, and Oda Nobuna who was dreaming to suppress the wars for the people of the whole nation, he really met those people, even though some of them were slightly different from what he was expecting. And since he doesn’t know his way back home, it should be okay for him to help Nobuna fulfill her dream for the time being.

She has a fowl mouth, she’s violent and he doesn’t know when he’ll be beheaded, but he knows that if she stays quiet, she’s the kind of girl that he always dreamed of having… n-no, he’s not really fallen for her. He hasn’t really fallen for her!

「Shit, w-why I can hear my chest beating so loud! This is mortifying! 」

「What are you screaming about like a monkey for, idiot Monkey? We’re heading back, so give me back my gourd and straw sandals. 」

While he waited for her at the gate, Nobuna appeared wearing the newly developed armor.
It was a lightweight armor that Dosan developed, and it would probably even protect against bullets fired from guns.

「Straw sandals? Ah, you mean these. 」

Yoshiharu took out Nobuna’s sandals from the inside of the upper part of his school uniform.

「I-It’s not like I had warmed them for you. I-It’s not because I didn’t want your feet to be cold that I kept them in my pocket and warmed them, okay! 」

「Pft! 」

Nobuna spat out her spit in annoyance. And just like that, her high-class lady persona was gone without a trace.

「D…Disgusting! 」

「What did you say?! 」

For some reason Nobuna was raging. Her face kept turning from red to blue to pale.

「You wanted to smell my straw sandals and hence kept it in your pocket! Could it be that you’re a man who gets excited by straw sandals? Uwah, it’s my first time seeing this sort of high level pervert! Showing you my beautiful self was my life’s greatest mistake after all! However, well, it’s going to be ok if I behead you here, so don’t come near me! 」

「Huh? What the hell are you saying? It’s a huge misunderstanding! 」

She drew out her sword nonetheless.

From the first time they met, he knew Nobuna was dangerous, maybe because she stopped her act of a fool around him. The fact is that he made the meeting with Dosan a huge success, and his heart was dancing because of it, but she didn’t appreciate it at all, and she was constantly yelling at him, probably because his haughty attitude didn’t befit a foot-soldier.

And so Inuchyo was observing the two without saying anything.

「Pervert! Brute! Super lewd Monkey! Even if you’re an animal, you’re still going to be beheaded for going after your master’s straw sandals! 」

「Wait a minute! Y-You know, I really thought that I shouldn’t let your feet get cold. 」

After letting out one breath, Nobuna once again started shouting like at him like a machine gun.

「Huh? It’s not like you heated them up or anything? Isn’t that what you said yourself? You said that, right? Which means that you wanted to feel the warmth of my sandals and be all creepy about it! 」

「What other reason could there be?! Ugh, ever since the meeting with Dosan, your abuse of me somehow worsened! Getting simply kicked around was better than that! It isn’t cute at all! I thought you were finally turning into a cute girl, but you’re just as big of a fool as you were before, if not an even bigger one! 」

「Hmph! I may be called a fool or whatever, but even so my brain is good! I can even use the abacus and I am even good at mental arithmetic! 」

「Hou hou, you think you can compete with someone who graduated from the kingdom’s compulsory education?! Then, what’s 2+3×4? 」

「20! 」

「No! Wrong! Idiot, idiot! Foolish Monkey! The correct answer is 14! 」
With the grip of her sword, she hit him around the area of his frontal lobe 3 times. Becoming too fired up, it seems Yoshiharu has even forgotten to avoid these attacks.

「It hurts! Don’t hit me too much, I will really become as stupid as you! 」

「It’s 14! Are you really stupid? What’s wrong with you?!

「…..Eh…Wait a minute… ah, I see. I had to first multiply 3 and 4 and then add 2! 」

「I am shocked. The one who asks the questions gives the wrong answer… 」

「Which means, the current answer is 16? 」

*THWACK! * *THWACK!* *THWACK!*

「I have been saying the answer is 14! You run your mouth saying you came from the future, but in reality isn’t it that there’s some part of your brain working strangely? 」

「The fact that I came from the future is the truth! I learnt the knowledge of the Sengoku era via games (everything I know)! In other words, I am the man who can see the future (though very little)! I will be useful (a bit) to you, so be a bit more grateful to me! 」

「You’re noisy, noisy, noisy! Acting all cocky just because of that… no-art or whatever, but in truth, aren’t you just a useless, rice-wasting idiot?!

「Wait, you’re probably misunderstanding! 」

「Don’t talk to me so disrespectfully! The people I hate the most in this world are idiots and those with a huge attitudes, and you meet both of these criteria, Monkeysuke! 」
「Don’t add a ‘suke’! It makes it more like a real name! 」

They were a master and servant without common sense bickering until exhaustion, a fool and a monkey whose foreheads were colliding and while groaning as they shouted at each other. Inuchiyo simply gazed without saying a word at her master and the new companion’s comedic act, but in her mind, she thought:

(This is the first time I have seen the princess with such an amusing face.)
