[War Engraved Night Blood] Himiko's War

Chapter 80

The time for the ceremony to start is in the afternoon.At noon, on the widest road under the city, soldiers maintaining order stood on both sides. Behind the soldiers, there were crowds of eagerly looking citizens.At the end of the road is a square with a target on one side, a temporary high platform on the other, and a carefully arranged large platform in the middle.The sedan chair that Kaoru Ishida was riding was parked on the high platform at the moment.

The sedan chair is surrounded by tulle, although other people can't see every move clearly, they can still get a rough idea.The black sleeves she was wearing made her kneel and sit for a long time, which made Kaoru Ishida's feet numb, but she couldn't move freely, so she had to endure it.

"I really want to overturn the table and quit..." Kaoru Ishida muttered to himself, and faint cheers came from afar.

The actual power holders of the Oda Territory are also the five vampires at the pinnacle of the Oda Territory's military power, each galloping here on their own steeds.Except for Oda Nobunaga who was at the top, the four vampires who fell behind each held a bamboo pole, each with a string of firecrackers hanging on it, which was "crackling".Their crotch/lower steeds have received special training, not only did not startle the horses, but they sprinted more imposingly.Five people and five riders entered the square, just as the firecrackers were ignited.Oda Nobunaga drew his bow, turned around and shot three arrows on the horse, hitting the bull's-eye.Following behind, the four vampires dropped their bamboo poles, stopped their horses, and flew onto the platform.Mitsuhide and Ranmaru are opponents, and Changxiu and Singer are opponents, practicing swordsmanship.After Oda Nobunaga rode around the square for a week, the four jumped off the platform, and Oda Nobunaga performed the final swordsmanship demonstration.

Kaoru Ishida, who sat at the best view, had a panoramic view of the square and the roads beside it. "...I can't tell, everyone in the Oda family knows how to play."

Oda Nobunaga finished his swordsmanship practice, and slowly walked up to the high platform amidst thunderous cheers and admiration from the leaders.Standing in front of the sedan chair, he lifted the tulle and stretched out his hand to the girl inside.

"..." Ishida Kaoru looked at Oda Nobunaga in embarrassment, and said in a weak voice, "I'm numb, I can't get up."

The corner of Oda Nobunaga's mouth twitched slightly, he grabbed the girl's wrist, pulled her out of the sedan chair, and hugged her horizontally.After stepping off the high platform and putting the girl on the horse, Oda Nobunaga got on the horse and wrapped the girl in his arms.

The other four also got on their horses and followed Oda Nobunaga to the temporary residence under the castle.When they left the square, the soldiers' blockade of the street was lifted little by little.The leaders gathered in the square, led by the priest, danced together, praying for the same harvest in the coming year.

On the way, Oda Nobunaga took out an exquisite sachet and put it in the hands of Ishida Kaoru.

Kaoru Ishida took it and asked. "What's this."

"Salary." Oda Nobunaga said to the little girl who was smiling for a moment in his arms, "However, you can't go to the festival alone."

"Yeah!" Kaoru Ishida happily held the sachet and agreed repeatedly. "When I want to go to the festival, I will ask Mr. Nobunaga to go with me!"

Arriving at the temporary residence, several vampires begin a brief impromptu meeting.The daily plan and emergency plan have been prepared before the festival. After a brief observation at the opening, Oda Nobunaga selected the follow-up arrangement plan, and discussed with other generals the fine-tuning of the emergency plan.

Kaoru Ishida peeked at the door for a while, feeling that the meeting would not end in a short time.She thought for a while and quietly backed out.

After everything was arranged, the retainers were waved away, and they were allowed to enjoy the festival after finishing their work. Oda Nobunaga leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes.With the vision shared by [World], he can "see" the "light" of divine power, but at this moment... Oda Nobunaga opened his eyes, rubbing the center of his brows with some headache.The holding of the ceremony resulted in a mixed bag of members in the city, no matter how careful the screening was, it was inevitable that there would be omissions.What's more, he deliberately let those guys into the city.Under normal circumstances, they would not make such an embarrassing move at the festival.But if they found out that the little girl was Ji Shenzi who was deliberately protected by him, some guys would not mind sending him a riot just because of the importance.It can be said that during the festival, the city was in the safest and most dangerous state.

He clearly told her not to go out alone, but if he didn't check for a while, that playful little girl would not know where she went.Oda Nobunaga sighed, and was about to go out to look for her, when there was a cautious call at the door.

"Nobunaga-sama, Nobunaga-sama?"

"……Come in."

The paper door was pulled open, revealing the girl's figure.Her long black hair, which had been trimmed and loose, was messy, and her long black sleeves were also very messy, obviously just squeezed out in the crowd.Before Oda Nobunaga could reprimand, the girl brought over the cloth bundle she was holding in her arms.

"Nobunaga-sama, what do you think of this!" Ishida Kaoru approached Oda Nobunaga enthusiastically and untied the burden.Inside the burden are two sets of kimono yukatas with plain colors and simple styles. "I just bought it at the clothing store next door. It's a very common style!"

Just being nearby, there is no need to reprimand her.As for changing clothes... Oda Nobunaga didn't quite understand the meaning of this little girl's behavior, but he didn't intend to spoil her interest either.Oda Nobunaga changed into the yukata and came out, the girl had already changed into the yukata and sat on the side waiting for him early.

"Master Nobunaga, wait a moment!" Kaoru Ishida walked up to Nobunaga Oda with his hands behind his back, "Sit down first and close your eyes!"

"..." The little girl looked at him very persistently, and Oda Nobunaga sat down helplessly, closed his eyes, and watched what kind of mystery she was going to make.Soon, a cool touch covered his face.This is, a mask?

After putting on a mask for Oda Nobunaga, Ishida Kaoru untied his long hair and carefully fiddled with his ears until the unique pointed ears were completely covered. "Okay, it's done!"

Oda Nobunaga raised his hand to touch the mask, the lines seemed to be Inari God.There is also an Inari mask hanging on the girl's head in front of her. It seems that the two masks are a pair.

"If Mr. Nobunaga goes out like this, there is no way to have fun! Just pretend to be ordinary people, and we can enjoy the festival!" Kaoru Ishida stretched out his hand to Nobunaga Oda, "Nobunaga My lord! Let's go play together!"

For him... huh... This kind of reason that is taken for granted by other retainers... No, this little girl also belongs to his retainers.Then, this kind of intention cannot be rejected.Oda Nobunaga responded to the girl's expectation and took the hand that was extended to him.

The author has something to say:

Originally, I wanted to finish writing the festival in one go, but it’s been several days and I haven’t finished it...I’ll post it first, and I’m still writing the rest...

[Note: Due to the confusion of the timeline, I wrote about the costumes more casually.According to historical time, there should be no sleeves left at this time. 】
