Volume 1 Chapter 6 Part 8

(So…. I’m really just a little brat that was banished to this Sengoku era!?)

The higher the confidence is for a guy, the greater the disappointment is when his hopes are shattered. As such, Yoshiharu was currently going through a severe mental breakdown.

「Save me, Goemon! I’m being bullied by reality, ahhhh~! 」

「S-Stop it! Don’t hug me~nya! not so tight~nya! 」

After being bathed in the killing stares of the Kawanami group, Yoshiharu finally came to his senses, realizing that he was now down on his knees hugging Goemon’s waist while making a lot of fuss the entire time.

「Sa…Sa…Sa…Sagara-sama, calm down. What had actually happened~nya? 」

「The mediocre Sengoku era games knowledge I had is all useless! What should we do now? 」

「Ok, release me first and then we’ll talk. 」

「Kill this bastard! 」

The Kawanami group who were all crying bloody tears started rushing over towards them. With muscles almost touching his eyes, Yoshiharu had to use his brain and turn it up to full capacity.

「Wait, Waitwaitwait! Calm down and let me… let me just think about it! I have to recall about the Okehazama event in the game 「The Ambition of Oda Nobunaga 」…! That’s an event that will suddenly happen when making the choice in the 1st chapter…. damn it, I should have played it through a bunch of times…. 」

(It should be… it should be…)

* * *

While Imagawa Yoshimoto’s forces were attacking Owari, Oda Nobuna danced to the「Atsumori」 tune and lead a sneak attack on Yoshimoto’s main base in Okehazama….

Wrong, it’s not like this!

(Though the legends are that the battle took place at Okezahama, Imagawa Yoshimoto’s place of death was actually 「Dengakuhazama 」, if I remember correctly and my memories are to be believed.)

「I got it! Yoshimoto’s main base, it should be at 「Dengakuhazama」! 」

「It’s…It’s 「Dengakuhazama」? 」

「Hmmm, don’t tell me 「Dengakuhazama」is a mountain top named 「Mount
Dengakuhazama」? You are not going to say that, right? 」

「It’s brue that bhere ish a mountain bop named Dengakuhazama, yes, that’s right. 」

「Goemon? Why are you stuttering as soon as you open your mouth? 」

「Plea…Please don’t bay me any maind… Uhhhh…. 」

「Why is your face getting red? 」

「Be…Be…Being hugged so b-bightly by a man…. Uhhhhhh~ 」

「Buck up, Goemon! Is it a fever? Have you gotten a cold? 」

「You better get your ass away from our leader! Her skin will rot if you continue to touch her! 」

The angry rants from the macho men of the Kawanami started to ring out all around them.

「Wait a minute! 」

Yoshiharu thought he was a goner, but then, unexpected help appeared before him. It was around a hundred people… and all of them were the pretty girls chosen from all around the Owari province.

But there weren’t any warriors among them. Most of them were villagers or farmers. As for the warrior who lead this army that has almost none battle strength to speak of, it was…

「Owari’s most handsome man! Oda Kanjuurou Nobukatsu, actual name Oda Nobusumi! I’ve come to fulfill the promise I made with you, Monkey-kun. We have arrived! 」

「Ahh, Nobukatsu, so you are alive. I forgot all about you! 」

「Stop talking as if me being alive was really insignificant! 」

「When I didn’t see you during the military meeting I thought you had camped somewhere else or escaped! 」

「That’s rude of you! As the most handsome man of the Oda clan, how can I do something
So dishonorable as running away? It’s just that because I had revolted a few times they did not allow me to join the meeting, ha~ha~ha!!! 」

「Is that something to be proud of? 」

「Nobusumi-sama is the best! 」

「So cool! 」

「You’re willing to do so much for this ugly guy because of your friendship! 」

(Ahh, the friendship between guys is just the best, it’s the absolute best I had since I came to this Sengoku era…. MY ASS!!!!)

At the midst of the cheers and screams Nobusumi raised his fist and said:

「Hahaha, though it’s the truth I will still feel embarrassed if someone points it out, you know? 」and started to laugh while revealing his white teeth.

Goemon, who looked totally unhappy with that turn of events drew out her ninja sword and pointed it at Nobusumi.

「Wawa! Ninja-san, what are you doing? I’m the reinforcements for Monkey-kun! 」

「Shut up. Such a pestering guy like you, will not only not help us, but you will just drag us down. Why don’t we just pinish him off now, Sagara-sama? 」

「Wait, Goemon. No matter what, we can’t kill such cute girls, that’s the very least of my limit. If you break this promise, then our collaboration is going to be finished. 」

「What is this colla… bo… aration that you speak of? 」

「Partnership, in other words. As for Nobusumi, do whatever you like. 」

「Monkey-kun! That’s too heartless of you! 」

「There is no more time to waste, we have to sneak into Dengakuhazama now. 」
「Sagara-shi, what is wrong with Okehazama? Why’re we not going there anymore? 」

「Because Okehazama is a mountaintop rather than a valley, right? 」

「Nobusumi-sama, at the east of Mount Okehazama there’s a narrow field. 」

One girl from Nobusumi’s troops said as such. She looked like someone who was a child of a local farmer. Since she’s a local, she’s bound to know the shape of the terrain in these parts like the back of her hand.

From what the girl said the locals did not just call the mountain Okehazama; even the east fields had been called the same.

「Actually, the officialy recognized full name of Dengakuzahama is 「Kotobuki Kagirina Shōma Gokō Kurenai Kamiai Dengakuhazama」, but since the name is so long there is totally not a person who will call it by that name, since it’s impossible to remember it, much less repeat it without biting your tongue off. 」

「……Which idiot came up with such a stupid name? I’d like to punch them in their stupid face. 」

「Hmmm. Sagara-sama my intel was apparently incomplete. What a disgrace. 」

「…..It’s…It’s not Goemon’s fault at all. Just from thinking about it you’d probably stutter like hell, so you don’t worry about that 「Kotobuki Kagirina Shōma Gokō Kurenai Kamiai Dengakuhazama 」and just call it Dengakuhazama, okay? 」

「…..I have goosebumps just from listening to it, so I’ll do just like you said. 」

With this, everyone got even more confused.

At the east of Mount Okehazama there is a narrow strip of fields commonly known as 「Okehazama」, but the 「Dengakuhazama 」 mountaintop does exist too. If the situation is like what Yoshiharu had in mind, then Yoshimoto must be in one of these two places. And if Yoshimoto is camping at the mountaintop, then all is over for them.

(We can only believe in her not being at the mountain.)

「There is no more time for hesitation. What should we do? 」

「Hmmm, we don’t have the manpower to split to 2 group! Just where is Imagawa Yoshimoto? 」

「Let these bandits go to one place, and I will go with my team to the other. That should solve your problem, right? Hahaha! 」

Nobusumi put on a smiling face without thinking of anything and said indifferently.

「We are willing to die for Nobusumi-sama! 」

The girls in his team started to cheer at the side again.

Though unwilling to let the girls be in any dangerous situations, there was nothing else that
Could be done now! Yoshiharu has made his decision.

「Wait, letting these noisy people go is going the same as suicide. 」

Goemon voiced out her concern without hiding her disdain, but Yoshiharu insisted.

「If that’s the case, let me go with Nobusumi and split up the party. 」

No matter which party did it first, once they have found out the base of Imagawa Yoshimoto they are to return to Atsuta Shrine and ask Nobuna to launch an assault at it.

Goemon led her Kawanami team over to Dengakuhazama while Yoshiharu and Nobusumi with his cheerleading group of girls, headed to the field commonly known as 「Okehazama「.

「There it is! 」

Yoshimoto’s base was at the narrow field commonly known as 「Okehazama 」.

With the guidance of the local girl, Yoshiharu and his party walked through a small path in Mount Okehazama and finally discovered the base of Imagawa Yoshimoto’s army.
