Oda Nobunaga chooses the broken knife

During breakfast, Oda Nobunaga took the main seat as a matter of course.

A military jacket was casually draped over his shoulders, and a military cap was buttoned askew on top of his head.With his legs crossed, his right hand resting on his chin, he looked lazily at the person. He didn't look like the top three heroes who overturned the entire Warring States Period at all. He is the city lord who has owned a city since he was born.

But it was this gesture that bewildered and astonishing.

Ants without foresight don't understand her.

The father who could see in front of her scolded her.

The Zen master who glimpsed the future praised her highly.

――And Oda Nobunaga didn't pay attention at all.

When she was acting out of character, the girl was walking on the street wearing tiger skin and leopard skin pants, straw sticks were tied messily on her head, and a cloth bag for rice balls was tied around her waist.

She threw the future Tokugawa Ieyasu, the young Matsudaira Takechiyo into the water, and scolded him not to come up if he couldn't learn to swim.

Such a reckless act that is not understood by the world made the people in her city call their city lord "Owari fool".

And when Oda Nobunaga put on a gorgeous and complicated dress, held a white fan, and walked luxuriously and arrogantly into the trap of his father-in-law Saito Dozo, with only one guard by his side, even if he was called "Mino-bellied snake" Daozan also involuntarily bowed his head to the 20-year-old Nobunaga.

This is the girl who concealed her gender and was only one step away from the world.

But at this time, she just closed her eyes in disgust, and shook her finger at Zongsan Zuowen.

After Oda Nobunaga sat down, the fragrant and well-cooked breakfast began to be placed on the table.

Breakfast is of course more than plum rice balls.

Pan-fried salmon, a small dish of salted plums, fragrant rice, and miso tofu soup.

The accompanying side dishes are pickled ginger in plum juice and pickles.

It is hard to say how much effort was put into cutting Hasebe to make such a breakfast with the standard ingredients provided by the government for each main pill.

Hasebe hesitated when he bent down to put down the last lacquered wooden dinner plate, Sozo rubbed his shoulder and sat beside Oda Nobunaga with a meaningful posture.

The girl who was staring at the sumptuous breakfast curiously gave a disgusted "tsk" to Sozo.

"Sit over there." She said bluntly, with her lips curled up. "Even if you have a pleasing face, you can't stand it with that stupid expression." ——If you want to smirk, sit there Smiling with his back to me, I don't want to be unable to eat."

Hasebe closed his eyes.

...something, unexpected, happened.

Da Dao, who was pursued and changed hands by several owners in his memory, and Zong San Zuo Wenwen, who was crowned "the symbol of the world" because of his previous owners, are definitely not the stupid one in front of him who makes him want to punch him when he smiles.

Gloomy and withdrawn, proud and inferior.

Caressing the butterfly branded by the demon king under the collarbone, looking out of the cage resentfully, but could no longer take a step by himself.

――It is such a bird in a cage.

A caged bird that can't get out.

That's the only way to be right.

……

In the end what happened?

If just because of what Oda Nobunaga said, he just casually untied his knots and flew over like a domestic pet, coquettish and whining——

Then, he who was left in place, he who was entangled in the past, and he who couldn't face it calmly,

What is it? ? !

The man who had disarmed and only wore eggplant purple priest's clothes, with his sleeves rolled up to his elbows, remained motionless in a half-bent posture like a machine that had run out of battery.

In the next second, the touch of his sleeve being rubbed woke him up.

Yaken raised his head and gave him a polite smile, hurried past Hasebe, and sat down respectfully and intimately beside Oda Nobunaga.

He explained something to the girl in a low voice and carefully.

"This is the way everyone eats in the next era. It's very rich, isn't it, General?... If only we could enjoy such a meal at that time....Hey, why do I know? It seems It must have entered into the head at the same time as obtaining a human body, this kind of common sense. Although it is only common sense. Otherwise, I would not be wearing such a suit of clothes——By the way, isn’t the general like this?”

Dian Dao smiled naturally while laying dishes thoughtfully.It's just a completely unnecessary breakfast, but he still pays attention to the girl's most subtle expression, pushing away the food she doesn't like slightly, and bringing the food that suits her appetite closer.

……what.

He sat down in silence and stuffed the rice into his mouth.

He hadn't tasted anything of the first breakfast he had become a Fusangshen and moved freely like a human being.

Bitter, salty, sour.Nothing at all.

Only the dry texture of rubber chewed and rubbed between the teeth.

what.

Don't I know the taste of...

Hasebe thought unconsciously.

Qing Guang, who seemed to have not slept all night, with dark circles under his eyes pitifully, was teased by the girl viciously.

Zong San Zuowen, who was ordered to turn his back to eat, silently and docilely changed his sitting position.

Yaken Toshiro was busy serving Oda Nobunaga’s vegetables, rice, and soup, and occasionally he was picked on and said that he didn’t want to eat that heavy taste, so he said, “Is the general still so picky about food? … Oh, it’s better to eat a little bit of this is good for your health”―― - Such a helpless sigh.

……

Only him.

Only him---! !

When she clenched the chopsticks tightly and her knuckles turned white, the girl's scarlet pupils turned around.

……what.

Hasebe trembled imperceptibly.The arrogance contained in his bones made him raise his eyes provocatively and meet Oda Nobunaga's gaze.

But the girl just glanced over Qiaoqiao lightly, and within a second, she moved away coldly and mockingly.

The slightly raised eye ends seemed to be filled with well-known sarcasm.

"..."

He froze for a moment, resisting the frustration of being seen through - and the inexplicable unwillingness, as if he didn't want to look over there, he turned his head away.

***

After breakfast, while waiting for the dishes to be washed - of course, a certain girl sat still like a grandfather.Although no one would expect her to do the dishes. ——California Qingguang hesitated for a while, but couldn't hold back, and still rubbed against the girl.

Oda Nobunaga gave him a half-smile and raised his chin.

...This is the meaning of "speak up", isn't it?

California Qingguang cheered himself up in his heart, took a deep breath——

"Master, if you won't be angry," he looked carefully at the girl's expression, "Really, yes, Lord Nobunaga?"

"Oh." The new examiner folded his arms as if he was not surprised at all, and raised his eyebrows lazily as if he had eaten enough, "So, are you really California Qingguang?"

"Eh?——Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh') was thrown into disarray by the god judge's unexpected counterattack), California Qingguang was startled cutely, shrinking his neck back, "Hey, ah, me, me It’s Kiyomitsu, California! Well, if Anding comes to Honmaru, you can also testify for me—”

The girl with black hair and red eyes tilted her head pointingly, as if she didn't intend to dwell on this issue any more.

California Qingguang immediately understood what the girl meant.

...Here, there are three swords of the Demon King.

Yes, but.

There is a question that really bothers me——

Probably because he had finally enjoyed enough of his uncomfortable expression like a dumpling stuck in his throat, since he didn't know when he was smiling and squinting his eyes, looking at the girl with the knife comfortably, and finally kindly let him go.

"My gender is 'female', so there's nothing I can do about it."

She said nonchalantly, while stretching, she stood up from the cushion.

"If it was in the era after my death—how could you have heard one or two anecdotes about me? It's like 'Nobunaga-kun who wears women's clothes and no one recognizes him on the street', 'I like it and really personally Mr. Nobunaga who danced Xingwaka dance on the stage, "I thought I didn't come to the banquet, but Mr. Nobunaga came in women's clothes and amazed the audience." Ah, what." The girl didn't worry about her popularity at all, she was just irritable and nervous. A bit nostalgic "Aiya" sighed: "I wear men's clothes, wear a tube top tightly, behave properly, etc. in my ears every day. And after accidentally being found out about my gender, I desperately resisted but just didn't want to. Those bastards who succumbed to surrender. Whether it’s the elders or the monks, it’s really noisy.”

Not knowing what to think of, the girl raised her face and showed a bright smile that would definitely make people break out in cold sweat:

"So it's really not my fault that I accidentally killed my vassals and then set fire to the temple. Huh?"

... In, in this kind of place, why are you so cute? !

Moreover, is this the truth of history!

Is it too frustrating? ?The dead are really wronged, right? !Tears are about to fall!

Stared at by the girl's extremely oppressive gaze, California Qingguang could only nod obediently while sweating.

Not far away, Yaki Hasebe, who was sorting out his armed forces, paused for a moment.

The snow-white gloves fit snugly between the fingers.

When I heard that all-too-familiar words, it seemed that the whole courtyard fell silent.

Slashing retainers...burning the monastery.

……

He could no longer lie to himself.

Before that, when he hadn't become Fu Sangshen, when he was thinking about introducing himself to the new owner in the dark, he was completely unaware.

... He never forgot his old master.

Not with the identity of the Kuroda family's handed down sword.

Not as a national treasure.

Instead, as the "sword abandoned by Oda Nobunaga" - such an identity, come from it!

The man lowered his eyelashes and smiled self-deprecatingly.

Now that I think about it...every sentence is clearly imprinted with the shadow of the Demon King.

Going around and going around, hundreds of years of struggle and entanglement, is it necessary to let go so easily?

The sun shines from the corner of the eaves, and the small shadow falling on the corridor looks like a little turtle hiding its head in its shell.

Someone yelled his name in front of him.

"Cut Hasebe—"

Step back in time hundreds of years.A pair of slender and callused hands that don't look like a man are holding the handle of his knife.Because I was alone in the room, I didn't deliberately lower my voice.Pure joy and appreciation.Meticulous and thoughtful care in maintaining the blade.Arrogance when showing off to others.When he got angry, he beheaded the tea house without thinking about anything.besides--

For the sake of the world, you can also cede the ruthlessness of the gift, including your own saber.

He turned around subconsciously, and replied loudly:

"……Yes!"

……

my lord.Oda Nobunaga.
