Volume 4 Chapter 3 Part 4

「….Everything is going to be alright, Yoshiharu. Mama is here, I’m right here. The terrible dream is already over, so just act like a spoilt child as much as you wish. 」

Mitsuhide used a voice full of maternal instincts and said that to Yoshiharu.

「….Mama, it’s so scary… I want to go home… I want to see my friends, I want to go back to school, I want to… I want to see you, mom… 」

「Geez, Yoshiharu really is a coward. Seems like you really are from a very peaceful future, but you have already tried your best Yoshiharu, your very best… you have proved that you are a courageous and strong child, so you can rest now. You have done more than enough on your end. 」

Her two hands hugged Yoshiharu’s head tightly as he plunged his face deeply into the pure breasts of hers that had never been touched by any man before.

「….Mom… 」

She could not see it properly, but she could feel that Yoshiharu’s face was becoming much more relaxed.

Even though no one believed him, Yoshiharu really came from the future. The Japan of the future was a totally different world compared to this Sengoku era, and was the one that had not experienced war for more than 10 years. The whole world was filled with relative peace, and of course, even though battles had not disappeared from that world completely, then just like what Yoshiharu once said, in his world, everyone was trying their best to maintain the peace they achieved for themselves as best as they could.

That is why neither Yoshiharu nor his parents had any knowledge of fighting or warfare. And right now, for the very first time, Mitsuhide thought to herself that「Maybe it’s really like this. 」 and began to believe what Yoshiharu said.

That the Japan in the far future is a country that knows no war.

Yoshiharu had come to the Sengoku era over from that far, far away world, and, in this Sengoku era that had nothing to do with him, for the sake of everyone’s happiness, and to end the battles of this world, he had been fighting until now together with Nobuna.

Mitsuhide wondered, that if their situations were reversed and she was the one who came here form the future, would she be able to work as hard as Yoshiharu did? Would she hold back the tears and the complaints even though it was painful, and keep moving forwards while looking ahead? Maybe so, or maybe instead, she would collapse from the overwhelming fear in a corner, crying and shivering that she didn’t want to do this anymore.

「….Yoshiharu, you are great. You are a really, really great child, Mom is proud of you, and I will definitely praise you for all that you have done too. 」

With that, she thought she could see a light smile forming on the sleeping Yoshiharu’s face,but that was probably just her imagination.

「Yoshiharu, you don’t want to return to the dream world? And once again try your best in the dream world? 」

「….Ahh… I wanted to, but now, not anymore… now I want to work hard, mom. I, I made a promise with a certain person, so… I will try my best for their sake… 」

「I see. What a great child you are. 」

Slowly, Yoshiharu’s body heat began to return back to normal. The thumping of his heart was directly transmitted to Mitsuhide through the skin contact they were engaged in right now. Now that Mitsuhide could relax after feeling as if she had surpassed some kind of insurmountable mountaintop, she finally noticed something.

*THUMP THUMP!* *THUMP THUMP!*

「…I’ve become strange. my heart… why is it beating so fast as well? 」

At that moment, all of Mitsuhide’s pent up embarrassment came back to her with double the power.

(EHHHHH!? W-WHAT THE HELL AM I DOING?! I AM HUGGING A GUY, WHILE BEING N…NA…NAK…NAKED…!? And this fellow, why is he sleeping on my breasts so soundly as if it was the most comfortable place in the world?!)

「Ah, Ahhhhh, th…th…thi… What is this?! G-Gorilla, you’re bothering me, hurry and let go of me! Akechi Mitsuhide’s cute breasts aren’t meant to be slept on by some gorilla like you! 」

Panicking and covering herself with a shirt, Mitsuhide pushed Yoshiharu’s head away from her violently.

「….Mom…It’s so cold. 」

「YOU ARE ACTUALLY AWAKE, AREN’CH YA?! 」

Mitsuhide didn’t think twice as she roared at Yoshiharu with what sounded like a Kansai dialect.

「W-Why are you acting so clingy with me, Gorilla?! Ahh, thanks the heavens that Nobuna-sama cannot see me right now, because she would definitely misunderstood the situation! She would definitely go and say something along the lines of: ‘So Juubei, you like this monkey after all~ . You said that you did this for him because he was almost dead, but after picking him up and dragging him here you started mumbling to yourself and treated him as if he was your property~~. Yuck, are you actually a pervert! Who enjoys cucking taking other’s possessions from them?’ and started despising me! if that really happened, then I, Akechi Juubei Mitsuhide could only choose to commit seppuku to atone for such a colossal blunder! 」

She needed get away from Yoshiharu as soon as possible to not completely lose control over her impulses.

「….Mom…It’s cold. 」

「Yes, yes, yes, I know! Just a while longer! Geez! 」

(To have such a thing happening to me, what bad luck!)

Once she thought that the other party she was hugging was really gorilla whom she despised so much, she became so embarrassed that it was almost impossible for her to handle it.

「This bastard doesn’t even have 1% of the human genes! He is a total monkey, monkey, monkey! 」

But even so, her body was still hot.

「Now that I think of it, at such a time and in such a place, no one should be peeking on us, so I should be safe. 」

Because she felt so embarrassed from hugging Yoshiharu, she felt like she won’t be able to sleep at night for some time… but in her heart, Mitsuhide was blaming Yoshiharu non-stop as she tightened her arms around him and became more and more grumpy with each passing second.

「Ah… Enough of this! Hanzo! Hurry and help me! 」

But, actually, there were people close to the opening of the cave. Those people gathered after seeing the footprints in the muddy ground. They were the members of the escapee hunting squads.

They numbered over a hundred soldiers. One by one, they gathered at the entrance and waited.

「Ehhh, what’s with these people, just go off like this, please return to wherever you came from! Damn it, it would seem like I’ll have to finish them off myself…. Ahh, I’ve forgotten my sword! 」

Mitsuhide tensed up when she realized that she might’ve screwed up.

From among the members of the escapee hunting squad, a voice spoke out.

「So suspicious… Don’t tell me, they are Oda army’s warriors acting all flirty with each other in that cave?! 」

(Eh!? We’ve really been discovered!?)

Mitsuhide had no choice but to put on a 「Lovers meeting in secrecy」kind of play. Hugging the still sleeping Yoshiharu tightly with both her hands, she thought to herself:

(Uhm… Lovers… Lovers meeting secretly… Are there any lines I can use to make it as convincing as possible?! Ugh, forget about having an affair, I, Akechi Juubei Mitsuhide had no experience in love at all! Looks like I have no choice but to use those illicit pictures from the 「Genji Monogatari」books as reference… ahhh, anything should be okay, just as long as I will say something!)

「Umm, Sagaramaru-sama… Mitsuko…has always admired you, Sagaramaru-sama! 」

They weren’t even aliases, as expected from the careless Mitsuhide. But the movements of the soldiers had indeed stopped.

(A little more! Just a little more!)

「U…Um, though I have been scolding you, Sagaramaru-sama, for being a useless idiot, the truth is that… that Mit… Mitsuko has always admired you, Sagaramaru-sama…Uhm… 」

Mitsuhide was talking to herself, while the guy whom she was praising did not say anything.

「What, is that a monkey play or what? Because it sure sounds like it. 」

(Those words… Uhh…. )

Mitsuhide was shocked that the soldiers were still there instead of walking away.

「Wh…Wh…Who is the monkey supposed to be? If anyone’s a monkey, it should be Sagara-senpai, no, it definitely is him! Ahhh, to think that I am going to be treated the same as this gorilla! Ahh, all had come to an end for me! 」

At the same time she kissed Yoshiharu’s face, unknowingly words came out from Mitsuhide’s throat.
