I have a couple of questions for Nagamasa; 1. How much do you love Oichi? 2. Do you like Nobunaga? 3. How do you feel when the other warriors make fun of you? Does it embaress you? Questions for Oichi: Have you ever cursed someone out? How often do you catch yourself thinking of Nagamasa? How do you like living in Odani Castle? Does it ever get boring? (Oh and I love this story so far! OichixNagamasa forever!)

Dear reader,

I'm so glad someone replied to our letters! When Editor-chan received it, I was really eager to read it. Now, in response to your questions…

Well, I'm glad to say that I haven't, but there have been times when we were allowed to play with the Sony Playstation 2, and I did yell a few…unrefined things at Nagamasa-sama because he lost the mission for us. But we Japanese women are taught to hold our tongues to be proper. I have thought of many vile things to say about someone, though.

When Brother told me that he loved his concubine dearly, I knew not what this "love" was. These attentions he gave her, his reminiscing of their moments spent together when she was alive, his favors, I understand them now when I look at Nagamasa-sama. Whenever my mind is lulled, I find myself wondering what to do for him before he comes back (a dreamy grin appears). I think about him all the time, even when I'm right next to him.

Odani castle is quite large. I remember the first time I entered the large fortress. In comparison to Odawari Castle, however, Odani is relatively small. But I did get lost in the castle a few times, and Nagamasa-sama always came to save me. Of course, I got used to it, and I even have a garden filled with sand, rock sculptures, bonsai, and wisteria trees. Nagamasa-sama helps me tend to it sometimes, though he often does the bonsai trimming badly…

It never really gets boring. There's always the rush of servants wherever Nagamasa-sama and I go, so it's nice to dismiss them once in a while and enjoy a few moments of peace. It's not boring, it's actually quite a hindrance, sometimes.

With the best regards,

Oichi

Dear reader,

It's quite an honor to answer these questions. I think I may be gaining a little weight from all of this junk food Editor has lying around, and I miss my lance.

Most people would like to know the answer to this. I love Oichi more than I love my lance, for she is my beloved, and it hurts to know that she is married off to Katsuie once Nobutaka is in charge and I am dead. Everything I do is in the name of honor, faith, and Oichi, for these are the things that I would give my life for. But above all, I would forsake my honor and faith for the love of my wife. She truly is stunning, is she not?

Nobunaga was a powerful ally, while it lasted. He and I have had our disagreements, but we're only looking for what's best for Oichi. She is his cherished little sister and my beloved wife, so that is our common ground. However, if I may make an opinionated comment, Nobunaga is too harsh and quite evil sometimes. The cynical "is that so?" really gives me the creeps sometimes, because he says it with that demon-like glare and a smirk. But, to say the least, I do like him. He treats me like a dog.

They make fun of me? No wonder Oichi gets really defensive around certain people. I remember at one point, every bachelor from Odawari was vying for Oichi's attention, though she was already married to me. Oichi told me that they were saying mean things. I suppose it is a little embarrassing, now that I think about it. I should be protecting her honor, not the other way around. I'll try harder!

Sincerely,

Azai Nagamasa

A/N— I think I'll make my A/N the life of the Editor housing them. :D

They happen to be sleeping in my bed at the moment. I've been on the floor for a few days now, but it's okay. At least I have a futon to sleep on. When I leave the house, I often return to find them sitting next to each other, talking quietly, or their hands intertwined, foreheads pressed together, or something cute. They recently learned how to use the shower and wear yukata around the house. …but really, they need to stop eating my candy. I'm already down to half a jar!
