Volume 2 Chapter 5 Part 5

「…That would be something worth celebrating. 」

「E-Everyone is being so loud and scary! *Sob*! 」

「A wise decision, Nobuna-sama. But… 」

「Yes, Manchiyo? What do you want to say? 」

「Inside the Oda clan, other than Nobuna-hime, there isn’t any other princess left that Nagamasa could marry. 1 point. 」

「Ara, I’ve been exposed. 」

「Ahhhhh, that’s right! 」

Katsuie screamed too.

「W-W-W-What should we do, Nobuna-sama? As expected, should just finish the Azai clan off od that they would not become a hindrance to us in the future? 」

「Of course not. Though I displayed such an attitude in front of Nagamasa, honestly, Azai clan’s Odani Castle is a fortress on par with Inabayama Castle. Conquering it will waste huge amounts of time and energy on our part. If that’s the case, going to the capital will be delayed, and in the worst-case scenario, we might enable Takeda Shingen to take the lead in the race to becoming the new ruler of Japan. Takeda Shingen and Echigo’s Uesugi Kenshin are currently battling it out on Kawanaka island. If we miss this golden opportunity to go to the capital, our dream of conquering the world won’t be fulfilled. 」

Nobuna stretched her arms and said solemnly.

「Manchiyo, what should we do when faced a situation like this? 」

「At such a moment, we should choose a girl with fair looks and accept her as a goddaughter of the Oda clan, and as per customary procedures, marry her off to Nagamasa to avoid incurring the wrath of the Azai clan. 」

「That will take too much time. And it’s a well-known fact that the Oda clan is full of handsome men and beautiful women… not to mention that Nagamasa has already seen my face. If I just find any half-assed beauty to give to him, he will definitely feel offended and our whole plan is going to be exposed. 」

「You have a point. 」

「Owari is a birthplace of fair ladies. Though there are many beauties here, I don’t think we can find a beauty that can match up to my outstanding looks. 」

Inuchiyo has earnestly raised her small hand to attract Nobuna’s attention, but it seems like Nobuna ignored it. It’s a fact that Inuchiyo can be considered a beauty in her own right, but her looks are totally different from Nobuna, especially when considering her breasts. In that department, Inuchiyo lost the battle before it could even begin.

「L-L-L-L.Let me go over to Omi then!? If…If. If it’s for the sake of Nonuna-sama, then I, Katsuie, will not hesitate to even die. E-Even if I were to sacrifice my body to a m-m-man, I will also…. Uhhh, Uhhhhh…..!!!! 」

「Riku, I already said that I will be very troubled without you in the army, right? Besides, since when does a princess from the Oda clan have such huge breasts like yours!? 」

「Eh……? H-Huge breasts….!? 」

「My downwards and slanted eyes are totally different to Nobuna-sama’s too. 0 points,. 」

Nagahide has brilliantly avoided being roped into this as well.
「What a headache. Though I do really want to dress Hanbei up as a princess and have it done with, unfortunately that brat is too timid for such a task. Goemon always hides her face behind a mask and stutters a lot too, and the only leftover is Nene who is still too young to be thinking about getting married. 」 「

「Hmmm. It’s hard to say. but isn’t there still Oichi as well? 」

Yoshiharu turned his head to the side and said hesitantly.

Thanks to Yoshiharu’s Sengoku era game knowledge, he knew that the alliance between the Azai and Oda clans was cemented after Azai Nagamasa ended up marrying the young princess of the Oda clan, Oichi.

In Yoshiharu’s sengoku game knowledge, the alliance between the two clans were formed after Nagamasa married the princess of the Oda clan, Oichi. However, after the alliance between the two was inevitably broken, Oichi went through a very pitiful life after witnessing her husband, Azai Nagamasa, being forced to commit seppuku and die.

Since everyone had not said anything about Oichi all this time, Yoshiharu felt embarrassed and hesitant to ask about her, but even though his heart was being filled with unease, it was something that had to be done.

「H-Huh? Who is this Oichi? I’ve never heard of such a person before. 」

「But isn’t she your little sister? 」

「My… little sister? Manchiyo, what is he talking about? 」

「I… I have no idea too. 」

「Yes, that’s right, Monkey-dono . As far as we all know, Nobuna-sama doesn’t have any little sister at all. 」

For some reason Katsuie started to sweat profusely.
「Monkey, I have no siblings other than my brother, the one over there who has a fetish for dressing himself up as an Oiran, the real Fool of Owari, Kanjuuro. 」

Nobuna pointed to the garden with a face filled with helplessness. There was that idiot, Oda Kanjuuro Nobusumi, formerly, Nobukatsu,, who wasleading his team of girls and shouting 「Let’s celebrate! 」while dancing an Oiran dance.

「Onee-sama, congratulations! I, Kanjuuro, will stay by your side and serve you for the whole day! Ara, why am I dressed like that!? Hahahaha! That should be obvious! To celebrate your conquest of the Mino province of course! 」

Nobuna quietly gathered her retainers by her side while revealing a dark, sinister smile.

「…….Monkey, Manchiyo, Inuchiyo, Riku… are you guys thinking about the same thing that I am thinking? 」

「……Oi, oi, Nobuna. Don’t tell me you… no, you are, aren’t you? 」

「I admit that It’s an exhilarating suggestion, but if it is exposed, Nagamasa-sama will be fuming with anger. It’s a high risk gamble with very little reward. 50 points. 」

「A man that is prettier than Inuchiyo. I can’t take it! I agree! 」

「What? Huh, what are you guys talking about? Am I the only…only one not understanding what’s happening right now? Oi, why… why are you all looking at me like that?! Uwahhhhh!? 」

「That’s right,Nobuna-sama! Marry Kanjuuro-sama into the Azai clan! 」

Hanbei, who was hiding behind a pillar, suggested with a sobbing voice.

「The both… both of them… will… will… will definitely be… be a great match… together. 」

「What the hell is going on here?! Yoshiharu scratched his head angrily, but Nobuna had already decided on what to do.

「Even Hanbei has suggested it, so we have a green light to go through with this! Everyone! Hurry up and capture Kanjuuro! 」

「Arara, Onee-sama, what kind of a game is this? Hahahaha. Eh? Why am I being tied up with a rope? 」

Goemon, who appeared in a gust of smoke, had tied Nobusumi up tightly like a ham that’s about to be smoked.

「Oichi-sama, please prepare yourself. 」

「Ararara, little ninja, who is this Oichi-sama you are talking about? 」

「You, Oichi-sama. 」

「Eh? But my name is Kanjuuro Nobusumi. 」

「From today forth, you are going to be known as Azai Nagamasa’s wife, Princess Oichi~! 」

「EHHHHHH~!? 」

The wailing Nobusumi was then threw into a cage and carried towards the Omi province.

After beautifully settling the alliance issue with the Azai clan, Nobuna’s lengthy after-battle review ended.

「Now to give the Mino people a fresh start, we should change the name of the castle and town. Are there any nice suggestions? 」

Nobuna asked the knowledgeable Nagahide.

「In the Tang dynasty, there was an ancient saying of ‘ When the King of Zhou, marches from Mount Qi, the world he can obtain’. It means that the ancient King of Zhou assembles his army in Mount Qi and finally obtained the world thanks to it. Now to show that we have the wish to bring peace throughout the world, how about we change Inabayama Castle to ‘Gizan Castle’ and Kinkaazan to Mount Qi? 」

「That’s a good name, Manchiyo! But the town name being changed to Mount Qi is a bit weird, since that town is actually situated on a plain. 」

「Mount Qi has other names, like Giyou or Gifu. 」

「Then let’s name it Gifu! From now on, this castle will be ‘Gifu’s castle’! And the town will be ‘Gifu town’! 」

「How about Kinkazan? 」

「It sounded great to start with, so it will remain the same. 」

After deciding on the new name of the town, Nobuna ordered her men to write out the official documents for the new name 「Gifu 」 and stamped a new personal seal of approval onto them. This seal was carved with the words: Tenka Fubu (Uniting the nation by force) which declared Nobuna’s intentions to gather the scattered world together by using the military might.
