Volume 2 Chapter 1 Part 1

Chapter 1: Nobuna asked for her hand in marriage!?

The time is Sengoku era. The location is the Owari province, in the castle town surrounding Kiyosu castle, the main stronghold of the Oda clan.

The daimyo ruling over the province of Owari, Oda Nobuna, was called a fool and laughed at by the world ever since she was young. But these foolish ways of hers, was it a deliberate action in order to catch her enemies off guard, or was she some genius tragically misunderstood by the people of the era she lived in? In any case, people began to question that after the renowned Battle of Okehazama, in which Imagawa Yoshimoto, who was called the strongest warrior of the Tokaido region personally led her unparalleled attack with an army 10 times larger than that of Oda Nobuna.

In the end, Imagawa was defeated under the lead of Shibata Katsuie and the rest of Nobuna’s retainers. The one who defeated the confident Imagawa Yoshimoto was no other than the Fool of Owari, Oda Nobuna, herself.

Despite the glorious victory, Oda Nobuna remained the same as ever to those around her, which means that she was harsh and had an incredibly foul mouth. After the battle of Okehazama, the living conditions of Nobuna’s retainers had not improved at all. Sagara Yoshiharu, a modern Japanese high school student who mysteriously got transported to this dangerous Sengoku era was the one who discovered the whereabouts of Imagawa Yoshimoto’s base thanks to the knowledge he obtained from playing Sengoku era strategy games, thus contributing greatly to the victory in that battle, is now still leading the miserable life of only having a single bowl of soup made from Aralia leaves per meal.

Currently, it is the middle of summer.

Even though it was barely dawn, Yoshiharu was lying wide awake on his futon, soaked with his nighttime sweat.

Once full of confidence that he could sleep through anything, Yoshiharu, who was at least planning to lie in bed for a little bit more, could only admit defeat. His back was drenched in waves of sweat, and it was feeling unusually warm as well. As such, he unwillingly opened his eyes while muttering:

「So hot… is the air conditioner not turned on? 」

「Fu, fu fu. 」
When he opened his eyes, he sa that his ninja subordinate, Hachisuka Goemon was hugging the pillar while sleeping on one of the roof’s beams. Goemon might be a loli ninja, but she leads the fierce Kawanami Group, a band of thieves and bandits who would follow her every order without question, no matter what that order might be.

Besides that, she has the habit of biting her tongue and lisping after speaking the sentences that are more than 30 syllables long. But even so, she is still Yoshiharu’s subordinate. But no matter how much he tried to persuades her to sleep on the tatami mats, she refused to do so and said that the roof is more than enough for her. It’s worrying that she does not listen to him, but even when she agreed to come down, she planned to bury herself in the ground using her ninja skills instead.

In the end, Sagara gave up trying to persuade her and let her sleep on the roof, but seeing her sleeping posture, Yoshiharu was worried that she might fall down from the roof and hurt herself. But there is a culprit more troublesome than her who disturbed Yoshiharu’s slumber. After the Battle of Okehazama, the reward Nobuna gave Yoshiharu was the little girl who lived across from him, Nene, as his new little sister. Though she is only 8 years old, she already has a sharp tongue of her own.

Nene became his little sister because Nobuna screwed him over when he said that as a reward for his contribution to the Battle of Okezahama he wanted to be introduced to the number 1 beauty in the world. Nene even swore that she will shoulder the responsibility of not letting Yoshiharu lay his “lecherous claws” on any other girl.

「Nobuna you bastard, just how much do you hate me?! 」

Yoshiharu often grumbled that to himself under his breath. In reply, Nene was always saying:

「I will definitely change Onii-sama’s habit of chasing after girls, and follow him around all the time! 」

Noticing the difference between modern Japan and the Sengoku era, Yoshiharu initially planned to bring girls to his house since he was living all alone to have fun with them, but his current circumstances threw those plans of his out the window with a loud crash. Though, when she is sleeping, she is still very cute.

「…I finally know why it’s so hot… Nene, don’t stick so close to my back. 」
Children’s body temperatures are really high. When Yoshiharu was sleeping, Nene must’ve wrapped her hands around his neck and hugged his back while still half asleep. Because of this, Yoshiharu’s own temperature had also risen more than 100 percent.

「… fu, fu fu. Onii-sama, don’t go chasing girls around… 」

Even in sleep, she was still blocking Yoshiharu’s only interest.

「Oi, its hot, let go of me, Nene. 」

「Fu, fu, fu… 」

「I…I can’t get out. 」

Also, Yoshiharu felt that his back were strangely wet

「Is it sweat? But why is it a bit warm? And that smell… 」

No matter how Nene stuck to him, she couldn’t have possibly generated that much sweat….

That’s when a certain possibility dawned on Yoshiharu.

(Don’t tell me this actually… isn’t sweat?!)

「Oi, Nene, did you wet your bed? And you even urinated on my back?! 」

「Hmmm? 」

The one sticking to Sagara’s back, Nene, finally opened her eyes.

「…… Uuuuuu.. Eh?… 」

While still drowsy, she used her little hand to rub her eyes.

「Stop uuuuu-ing! Did you mistake my back with the toilet? Oi oi, why is it still coming out?! 」

「……Uuuuu. 」

「Listen, Nene. you are already 8 years old. It’s time for you to change your habit of wetting the bed. Still, It would be strange if you did not wet your bed after shouting “So hot, so hot” and drinking so much water before you slept last night, so I guess I should’ve seen this coming! As your brother, I will have to teach you how to use the toilet properly today! 」

「….uuuu…. uuuu… 」

「Eh? What word starts with uuu? 」

Yoshiharu tilted his head, not understanding what Nene was talking about.

「…UuuuuuAhhhhhhhh~~!!! 」

However, Nene started crying, and the high-pitched sound hit Yoshiharu’s eardrums with full force.

「….UuuuuuWahhhhhhhh~~!!! 」

「W-Wha…? What is this, some sound-waves based weapon?! 」

「Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh~~!!! 」

「Ahhh, Nene! Sorry! I’ve said too much! 」

「… Ugh, how can I sleep with so much noise, Sagara-sama. 」

Goemon stared at Yoshiharu while opening her eyes.

Rumors say that since Ninjas need no sleep for a few days and nights, they sleep like a corpse when they are resting. Once they decided to sleep, before their sleeping time is up, they won’t wake up even if you fire a cannon beside their bed or knock the gong right into their ears.

And since currently theloli ninja covered her ears and screamed: “so noisy!” it could serve as a testament that the sound of Nene’s crying was indeed quite obnoxiously loud.

「Uwahhhh~Onii-sama is mad at meeeee!!! 」

「No, I’m not! Nene, you’ve got it all wrong! I beg you, please don’t cry anymore! Come, come, I’ll wipe your nose! For you! If your face is going to be full of snot, won’t the reputation of the number one small beauty of Owari go down!? 」

「Reputation… go down…..? Uwahhhhhhh~!!!!!!!!! 」

「Uhhh~! How can I get you to calm down!? 」

「A slash at the neck using this ninja’s dagger will fix this. 」

「She will die if you do that! Ahh, more importantly, I should take my futon and dry it outside! 」

「Ah, you wanna run from this, Sagara-sama? 」

「I leave the rest in your capable hands, Goemon! 」

「I-I-I-I I’m not used to handling kids! Shaghara-shama! You’re sho cruel! 」

Goemon bit her tongue and lisped, though it was not the time to play the straight man anpoint that out.

Not wasting a single second, Yoshiharu had to run away from the area of Nene’s sound-wave attack and move away to freedom.

Yoshiharu hastily ran to the courtyard with the futon, but his neighbor Inuchiyo was already standing there.

「……Day after day, you’re being so noisy. 」

Wearing pajamas and holding her usual bamboo spear, her attire was so messy that he could almost see her chest area.

Though her breasts are still like a small flower bud waiting to bloom, the leader of the Maeda clan, Maeda Toshiie, nicknamed Inuchiyo is already a beautiful young girl.
