Volume 3 Chapter 3 Part 1

Chapter 3: Nanban-ji

The next day.

「Goemon and her gang are staying in Kyoto, and Juubei-chan is not just two-faced, but also my opponent for the culinary showdown… Honestly, it took a while, but now I see that it really sucks to be thrown into this Sengoku era by myself. If I had known this, I would have brought Nene along with me. 」

Yoshiharu grumbled as he loitered around the streets of Sakai in his student attire.

If he stayed at Imai’s Sokyu’s house, he wouldn’t stop quarreling with Nobuna. That, and seeing Nobuna’s face as she was fantasizing about her first love set his blood boiling almost instantly, and he felt the need to try and walk it off. For a brief moment he thought about assaulting Nobuna in the middle of the night to exact his revenge on her, but he abandoned that idea as soon as he imagined that Juubei with her tanegashima would peobably be sleeping right beside Nobuna, acting as her bodyguard to ward off any attempts at assassinating her in her sleep.

「To face off with Juubei in a culinary battle, it should be something akin to 「The Ultimate Cuisine VS The Strongest Recipe 」 kind of thing… but the biggest problem here is that I cannot cook for shit. 」

Since things have come to this, then he thought that he might just loiter around in the streets to find some inspiration. But although he walked out of Imai Sokyu’s house with determination, in this Sengoku era there aren’t any smartphones so he couldn’t use the internet for help, and relying just on himself and his observational skills, Yoshiharu didn’t even have the slightest idea where he should start looking for anything that would help him achieve his objective.

While walking around aimlessly, a stone church that was totally different from any of the structures in Sengoku Japan entered his line of sight. At the top of the building, a characteristic cross was placed.

「Oh… is this a Nanban-ji? 」

Because he was curious about the building that he came across, Yoshiharu approached it and looked inside through the half closed door.

「Ohhh, it really is a Nanban-ji! 」

This is a real catholic church! Not only was there an altar and a cross, there were also statues of Jesus Christ and Virgin Mary here and there. Tens of believers and visitors were sitting at the western style chairs while listening to the priestess who was delivering a sermon while standing behind the altar.

That young priestess was reading the Bible, and though her Japanese was fluent, her attire was just like that of a nun in RPG games that Yoshiharu had seen countless times before.

「It’s a western nun! 」

Hair like strands of glittering gold, snow-white skin and a pair of eyes so blue that they could be like the ocean. Her voice was gentle and melodic like the chimes of silver bells, and even though her face was still bearing some signs of childishness

Glittering gold hair, fair white skin and two blue eyes.

With a voice that was as gentle as silver bells, though her face had remained that of a childish girl, she was still shockingly beautiful.While looking at this beautiful and delicate girl, Yoshiharu couldn’t help but doubt his own eyes, because the breasts on this girl… they were so big that they couldn’t be rationally comprehended by the limited capabilities of human intelligence, but if he were to describe them somehow, the only words that were coming to mind were: super boobs!

(Ohhhhh? S-such golden proportions that a Japanese girl can never hope to have! A childish face that is so devilishly cute, and the destructive power of her figure! It’s as if… as if she were a game character model taken right out from a 3D game and transported into reality!)

This beautiful bishoujo… shemust definitely be a fairy! To think that creatures like fairies actually existed in Sengoku era Japan! Yoshiharu felt as if he just made some groundbreaking scientific discovery.

*HEAVY BREATHING!*

Upon looking at such a cute girl, Yoshiharu couldn’t help it but to be drawn over to her side.

「You… excuse me, but who are you? This is our gathering, you can’t come in here without invitation! It’s dangerous! 」

A young girl who is either a believer or a visitor appears in front of Yoshiharu, and she had an eyepatch on, only revealing one eye. Her hair was golden too, her attire all black. The jet black nanban attire of hers wrapped her small body up tightly, and the cross that she wore emitted a silver light, but for some reason the cross was inverted. The chains on her small waist were clanking loudly in contrast with the leather boots covering her feet. Though from her look she simply seemed like a brat that admired the fashion style of the western barbarians, from the samurai sword that was hanging on her waist it was clear that she wa someone from a warrior clan.

「Oi, I told you not to come in! Now is the crucial period when we talk about the ‘Beast of Revelation’! 」

The eyepatch-wearing girl said while gnashing her teeth and raising her hand to her sword…

「Elohim Essaim! Elohim Essaim! 」

… while the nun behind the altar started to chant a spell that sounded as if she was trying to summon a demon or an Eldritch God.

(Huh? How can a woman of the cloth from the catholic church summon demons to the house of god?)

Yoshiharu couldn’t help but to think like that.

「No, I…er… I’m not your enemy… Eh, this is giving me a headache. 」

「No, I told you that you cannot enter right now. If you take even one step closer, I am going to ssume that you actually have a death wish… 」
「Oi, brat, listen to me. I am the vice-captain of the Oda clan from Owari, Sagara Yoshiharu. Because it’s been a long time since I’ve seen westerners, I came in to look around; there’s no other meaning to it then that. 」

「A holy demonic formation? What’s that? Is it a magic formation for summoning demons? 」

(I have no idea what this eyepatch-wearing brat is talking about…)

Yoshiharu tilted his head in confusion.

「Hehehe… Interesting. Since you want to have a showdown with me, I will let you taste the secret finishing move of Bontenmaru! Take this! Finishing Strike: The 12 Souls of the Demonic Realm! 」

「Oi, you damn brat, don’t just unsheathe your sword in the church like that! 」

「Now, now, Bontenmaru. Don’t offend people who come to listen to the Bible. And this is a church, so please refrain from any acts of violence as long as you are in here. 」

This fairy-like beautiful nun gave a Maria-like smile to the eyepatch-wearing Bontenmaru, stopping her before she could really pop off with her crazy antics.+98

「Hmph, fine. If that is what you want, Frois, then I, Bontenmaru will stop myself here.

If Frois says that, I Bontenmaru will stop here. This battle will be postponed to a later date. 」

「No matter how I see it, you are just a brat. You are so short that you do not even reach my belly, so how would you even fight me? 」

Yoshiharu snorted.

「I’m not a kid! I am the future Demon Lord, The Beast of Revelation that will destroy all of Japan, Bontenmaru! 」

「Huh, destroy all of Japan? Now that’s a bad thing to do, kid. Be careful, you might just get a spanking if you keep that up. 」

「Oi! Don’t pick me up! Unhand me right this instant! 」

The rest of the believers snickered while looking silently upon the two of them.

「Bontenmaru, this child, rather than Jesus’s teaching, is much more interested in scary stories like the Book of Revelations. She is especially obsessed about the part of the Beast of Revelation. 」

The young nun that walked down slowly from the altar, Frois, said.

Matching her pace as she walked down, her breasts, even covered as they were by the nun robes, were shaking at a terrible rate. Yoshiharu’s eyes almost popped out from how hard he was staring at them.

(Th-this…! Just how big is her cup size… D-Definitely not G or I, nowhere near such a miserable size! She looks so young, so just why does she have such a blazingly hot body… Damn, even if I use up all my eye power, I can’t really tell what size she is!)

「Er, Yoshiharu-san? I am the priestess of this Nanban-ji in Sakai, the missionary Louise Frois. I came here from Portugal a few years back. I am pleased to make your acquaintance. 」

「Ah, Ahh! Y-Yes, the pleasure is all mine! 」
