Volume 1 Chapter 6 Part 15

「Yes, you have a point. I will say my farewells for now…. and I must return to the Kawanami group to persuade dem not to jump Sagara-sama the next time they see him. 」

「…..Cu…Cute…. 」

「I…I…I’m not cute at all! I am the bandit Hachizuka Goemyon! E-Even crying babies will shtoph crying once they hear my name~nya! 」

「…..So cute.「

「Uhhhhhhhhh~! 」

And so, even Inuchiyo and Goemon had returned to their respective quarters. That being said, since Inuchiyo is Yoshiharu’s next door neighbor, then all he needed to do if he wanted to see her again is to open the window and brush aside the branches of the hedge between their houses. That’s all it takes if he wants to talk to her again.

Being left by himself for now, Yoshiharu lied down on the ground with his hands and legs sprawled out, forming a a shape of the kanji for 「human” (大).

It took him a while to realize it, but he was actually feeling lonely. Sure, there were a lot of people who came over and played with him… but it didn’t change the fact that in this world, there was no one whom he could call his true family.

Thinking about that, he actually felt like he wanted to cry a little bit.

(Nono, missing home or something, that’s not my style at all. I’m not homesick… I’m not…)

Looking outside through the tiny hole in the roof, he lightly shook his head to clear his thoughts. If he didn’t want to cry, then the best thing he could do was to just think of something happy to cheer himself up.

「Tonight there will be a cute girl coming over to me… or at least that’s what Nobuna hinted at… but thinking about it now, Imagawa Yoshimoto actually coming to such a poor place is a bit impossible, right? Yeah, exactly. So, I wonder who’s it going to be? 」

Anyway, when Nobuna told him to wait, her face was a little bit red, so…

(Don’t tell me… Don’t tell me…..!!! My reward… is going to be Nobuna herself…?!!!)

At the moment when that thought has firmly nestled itself in his mind…

*BA-THUMP BA-THUMP!* *BA-THUMP BA-THUMP!*

His heart started beating so fast like it never had before, and it was going so fast and hard that it could burst from his throat at any moment.

「Is…Is…Is…Is that the side effect of Goemon’s medicine?! What the hell, y am I getting so excited? 」

Wanting to be introduced to the world’s number 1 beauty, that is the wish that he has stated to Nobuna.

(Ah?!)

Could it be that she was so full of herself that she thought she was said number 1 beauty in the world?! Well, as long as looks are concerned, that might actually be true… so with all that said…

「She said 「Wash your body and wait… 」 Don’t tell me… Don’t tell me… Don’t tell me…!!!!! 」

How can that be possible?! No, she would never do such a thing! Giving herself to someone she doesn’t even like, and her own retainer at that?! Yes, something like that is just impossible, since she’s probably thinking that a guy who fits her does not exist in this world… if that was the case, then that means that she’s unexpectedly pure….

(But… but what if… by any chance… if she does have feelings for me?)

She’s not honest with herself at all, so if she does like him, she might use the pretext of a reward, and with a poker face, sneak into his bed and then say something like 「Why must I do this kind of thing with such a disgusting monkey like you…? 」

「No… No! My nose is bleeding already! Goemon’s secret medicine must be too effective! 」

Yoshiharu, who was rolling around in the room started to chant Buddhist scriptures in order to calm himself down.

Troubles begone! Impure thoughts, away with ye!

At the moment when he was in the middle of his chanting, the door was opened with a snap and someone came inside.

「Uwahh….!!! 」

As if his body was being held up, he couldn’t move a muscle as the visitor deep in the night sat down beside Yoshiharu.

(Ehh, I don’t like that violent girl one bit, but backing out like this goes against my principles as a man! I will not give up, even if I see Nobuna being shy! So…tonight, just tonight! Goodbye , my virginity!)

Yoshiharu with his bloodshot eyes pounced onto the small shoulders of the visitor like a tiger on his prey.

「What are you doing! Have you gone mad in the head, Monkey-sama?! 」

「Hmmm? Nene~~!? Why? 」

「Because Nobuna-dono said that you wanted the most beautiful girl in the world as a reward! 」
「I do not understand ONE bit of what you are saying! What has that gotta do with you!? 」

「Because Nene is that no.1 beauty of Owari! 」

Yoshiharu crashed his head onto the tatami mat below, and then he started crying.

「You… are a child………….! You are NOT a beauty! You are just too young!!!!!!!! 」

「I will surely become a beauty in another 10 years! 」

「I DON’T CARE about that! What I want… What I want now… is to be all touchy and feely with a girl! 」

But Nene did not listen to any of that.

「Anyway, from today onwards, Nene will be Monkey-sama’s little sister. 」

「Why, why has it become like this? 」

「If that’s the case, Monkey-sama won’t be a nameless soldier anymore. From now on, you are a relative to the Asano clan and will truly be the retainer of the Oda clan! That’s something to be happy about! 」

*ClapClapClap*, Nene who was clapping stood up while saying 「Congrats, Onii-sama! 」

「Also, Onii-sama has been promoted to a rank of a vice-captain now. 」

(That sort of thing isn’t worth being congratulated!)

Yoshiharu couldn’t get up from that blow.
「Uhm, Nene. What I asked Nobuna for is her to recommend me a girlfriend, and not a sister…. Why has my request changed to something so weird….? 」

「You are forbidden from having a girlfriend. 」

Nene sat down next to Yoshiharu’s back while speaking clearly..

「Nene had the order from Nobuna-sama to not let that ero-monkey extend his demonic claws onto any girls, and to keep watch over you as your sister. 」

「Ehhhhhhh? 」

Nene continued to imitate Nobuna’s tone and said.

「Nobuna-dono said, 「Act…Actually I don’t care in the least of who monkey is being close to, but for those poor girls who would be cheated on by that ero-monkey, I must do at least this much! 」 and then she became very angry. 」

「Why did she become so angry!? 」

「From now on, you are not allowed to stare sheepishly at any girls other than Nene! 」

「Why has it become like that? And besides, when had I looked at you sheepishly!? 」

「No means no, you are forbidden from flirting around! 」

「Why!? You are killing me now! 」

「Currently, this is the most crucial period! Nobuna-dono wishes for Onii-sama not to chase around girls and strive to become a distinguished warrior! Nene agrees with this too…..! 」
Nene was currently using her big glittering eyes to look at him, hoping that he could become something big in the future.

(I had totally been outplayed by Nobuna! Ahhh, but I can’t reject Nene’s pure hope! No matter how mature she might be, she is still a child.)

「That woman… so that so called slow torture means this? This is just too cruel! She really is a Demon Lord! 」

(Damn it…. That woman dragged me down to hell full of despair from this close to paradise… Damn it!!!! This… Don’t tell me this is the treatment of the person who led the army to victory in the battle of Okehazama?)

「Ohh, you broke down into tears of joy after hearing that Nene has become your sister? That’s too kind of you, Onii-sama!!! 」

「This is the pain and suffering leaking out from the depths of my soul! 」

「With the no.1 clever and smart sister around to help Onii-sama, you will definitely become someone important in no time at all! 」

「Ok, stop treating me like a cushion! Get down now! 」

「Come, let’s sleep together tonight, Onii-sama! 」

「I want to sleep with girls of the same age as me!!! You’re 10 years too young for that! 」

「How can I wait for another 10 years! 」

(Ah, forget it, I don’t care anymore!)

The Sleep Demon has already started to assault his tired body.
「I’ve decided to work hard a little more in this world…. 」

Yoshiharu mumbled lightly as he slowly drifted off into unconsciousness.
