Volume 4 Chapter 1 Part 8

「So you’re saying that Azai and Asakura clan’s determination isn’t enough, but Nobuna’s is? 」

「Yes. 」

Hisahide revealed her gentle smile while she glanced into Shinano’s eyes.

「Let’s leave this discussion for another time. Danjo-dono, we will know soon enough how to proceed in the future. How about a cup of tea first? 」

「Hehe, thank you very much for your hospitality. 」

(Now that I have an opportunity, should I kill Matsunaga Danjo Hisahide…or…..? )

While he was struggling with his thoughts, Shinano’s uneasy expression revealed itself on his face, and on the other side, Matsunaga Hisahide had already decided on a plan how to enter Kuchiki Castle.

If Kuchiki Shinano dared to say no, then the true nature of the scorpion would show itself. The numerous puppets using crimson flames will then surround the whole Kuchiki residence…..

「More than anything, I think Nobuna-sama is really a cute girl to be able to accept someone like me. If you betray this little girl and cause her defeat while you yourself lived on like a coward, from that point on I would kill all who would stand in my way….. If you dare to say ‘No’, no matter how many years, how many decades it will take me, I will kill everyone in this valley, no, all the animals, the plants, every last living being, until there will be nothing left here but rotten corpses and the stench of death. 」

Hisahide’s heart moved. Under a fake smile, her love, her hatred that did not fit her face, every one of Hisahide’s feelings raged stronger than any normal Japanese man could know.

Facing the dark and overwhelming killing intent that was emitting from every corner of her body, the young Kuchiki Shinano took a few steps back in an instant.

「Shinano-sama? How about letting me prepare the tea instead? 」
Kuchiki Shinano swallowed his saliva hard.

「You, don’t tell me, you want to poison me?! 」

「Hehe, it’s regrettable, but I’ve been asked by Nobuna-sama to not poison any other people from now on. Right now, there is still no telling whether you will end up being Nobuna-sama’s retainer or Azai and Asakura clan’s lackey, so I cannot allow myself to be that rude with you yet. 」

「Are you threatening me? I… I am not a man that is so easily intimidated, I will have you know! 」

「Relax, there isn’t going to be any poison in that tea. 」

First, Hisahide used her own tongue to lick the teacup. There was something mesmerizing… but also dangerous in the sight of her red, slimy tongue moving all around it.

Once again,Kuchiki Shinano swallowed his saliva, but this time round, the meaning of it was different.

His brain felt numb. He didn’t realize when it happened, but at some point in time, a strange aroma started filling up the entire room… it was a scent that Kuchiki Shinano has not encountered before, but at the same time it was sweet and hypnotizing.

「Shinano-sama, don’t tell me you still don’t believe me? 」

「Poi…Poisoning someone is too easy, the teacup might have something hidden in it, the part that you licked might not have poison on it, but the rest of it will have it… isn’t that right? 」

「Hehe, if you still think so, then let me show you the proof that the rest of it wasn’t smeared with poison at all. 」

*Lick…* *Lick…*

Hisahide’s eyes were narrowed into a silt while she glanced at Shinano’s eyes, and putting the teacup on her palm , she licked all the sides of it, leaving not a single place untouched.

Thanks to that extremely alluring body of hers and the spectacle she was putting for him, Shinano is already panting heavily, his whole body hot with passion.

「……Weird… Such a weird feeling….. this fragrance….. just what… is it?

「Hehe, *lick* See? When I do it ike this, there is no problem touching any side of the teacup, I had already used my own tongue to clean it all up. But if you still think that my saliva is poisonous, then your life will still be in danger. 」

「….Can…Can human’s saliva be poisonous? 」

Kuchiki Shinano’s hand received Hisahide’s teacup before he could realize his hand was even extended towards her in the first place. It looked to him… like Hisahide’s….. teacup was filled with that alluring saliva of hers.

「Not… Not poisonous… No… I should say…. It’s fragrant… this…. This taste is so fragrant….? 」

「Come now. Did you really think I would try to do something to you just, because I am a scorpion? Ah….hahaha. 」

Kuchiki Shinano could no longer detect anything weird in Hisahide’s behavior.

Hisahide herself was soaked with sweat, and her breath was becoming increasingly heavier. In between the deep valley of her breasts, the sweat was gathering and then overflowing, and the fragrance that was coming off of it continued to numb Kuchiki Shinano’s brain, until he felt like he was about to go berserk.

(Drink…. tea…..)

He felt the need to drink the saliva that Hisahide left behind, that extremely fragrant fluid.

At that instant.

「So…So refreshing… So… So comfortable. Such a wonderful tea, this is my first time drinking something like that…… 」

Shinano’s overflowing saliva dripped drop by drop onto the ground while he laughed out loud.

「…..Dan…Danjo…. N…Now that I think about it…. It’s.. It’s not like I can’t agree with you…. ha…Hahaha. 」

Hisahide layed down, letting her outfit fall from her shoulder, another hand shaking the fan in her hand while she smiled like a little girl.

「…..I… I can’t take it anymore. Ah….Ahhhh. Come… Come and hug me! if you hug me, I promise I’ll let Nobuna pass…. it… it won’t be a problem, right? Hahaha! 」

「……Hehehe, it’ll be my pleasure. 」

「The dark brown skin of foreigners, haha….! Now that I see it, it’s so beautiful…. So beautiful…!!! 」

「……Well then, Shinano-sama… Please embark on your never ending sweet dream now… 」

Hisahide’s lips gave a light kiss to Shinano’s ears, and suddenly something seemed to slip inside of it.

「Ah, Ahhh, what is this…. My ear…..! 」

「Hehe…. and just like that, you have already become one of my puppets. 」
「Ahhhh!!! 」

A hot fluid was injected into Kuchiki Shinano’s ears in an instant, and Hisahide left Shinano’s side while laughing loudly.

「He, hehehe! As if someone like you who doesn’t know anything could hug me. Come back after another 10 years, and until then, be my plaything in your dreams! 」

「…..Wh…What did you do to me…. you whore! 」

In an instant, Shinano returned to his senses.

(This strange fragrance…. And the saliva that Matsunaga Hisahide smeared onto the teacup…. Damn it, I’ve fallen for one of her tricks!)

「…..Don’t tell me, you planned to keep the poison in your mouth and then smear it on the teacup…. and gambled that I would fall for it….! Hmph, interesting…. Ahhh, but this fragrance, what is this rotten fruit-like fragrance……? 」

In the next instant, his sudden return to his senses was extinguished like a daying flame being put out.

Suddenly, Shinano tilted his head to the side like a puppet.

「…..Alright… I got it. I will allow Oda Nobuna and her troops to pass. And at the same time, I will protect her on her way to Kyoto. I, Kuchiki Shinano, will be the retainer of Oda Nobuna from now on, and the puppet of the Oda clan. Ahahaha…. hahahaha! 」

At the same time, Hisahide, who had breathed in the same toxin laughed.

「It’s an honor, an honor! 」

To her victim who had just fallen for her tricks, she opened her arms and bowed.
* * *

「Nobuna-sama, everything is within our control. Kuchiki Shinano has agreed to arrange for the guards to escort you back to Kyoto! 」

Katsuie and Nobuna shared a shocked glance between themselves.

(Who could have thought that… Who could have thought that she can even get soldiers of Kuchiki Shinano as bodyguards for us? What an unexpected outcome. Just how did Matsunaga Hisahide manage to persuade Shinano? And why does Hisahide look so weird?)

Nobuna wondered as an indescribable fragrance floated around Hisahide.

「 Ah! 」

Katsuie suddenly shouted.

「Yo…Yo…You! don’t tell me, you did something disgusting in order to let Kuchiki Shinano join our side? 」

「Hehe. I did not do anything disgusting. I… am not such a despicable woman. At most, I just did something unpleasant, hehe, hehehehe! 」

「Ahhhh….!!! 」

Katsuie was shocked.

「Demonic… what a demonic woman…..! Nobuna-sama! We can’t let Hisahide follow us anymore! If she did something bad, she won’t admit it anyway! 」

「Now isn’t the time to consider such things, Riku. Now, we head at full speed towards Kyoto! With these guards, we no longer need to be afraid of anyone trying to pursue us! 」
