Part Four
Nobunaga(?) → Kasane x Ikeda
"I-I did something like that last night!?"
Cradling her head from a hangover, Kasane exclaimed with disbelief.
They were now currently returning back to Owari's Nagoya Castle.
After seeing the overlord's conditions yesterday, Ikeda decided it was already fine to return the next morning.
As Kasane did act recklessly in her drunken state, surely that frightened overlord wouldn't break his promise.
If he just so happens to break it again, something more terrifying than Kasane's mimicry, the real deal himself, will pay a visit.
Anyone will prioritize their life.
Surely that overlord won't do anything idiotic now.
"You did. A lot of other things happened too."
Ikeda stated while steering the horse.
Clinging behind him, Kasane turned blue.
"O-other, like?"
"...I'm awfully hesitant to say it out loud."
"...!"
His words came like a shock wave to her.
She frantically tried to remember what she did that night, but nothing came up. In addition her head hurt.
"Well, let's just say everything went well in the end."
"Uu…"
Kasane groaned in despair.
Never will she ever drink again.
She'll never drink sake ever again.
"...We're here."
Hearing him say that, Kasane raised her head and saw the nostalgic castle of her lord.
"Katane~!"
"Inuchiyo-san!"
Inuchiyo, who caught the scent of Kasane, immediately jumped at her.
Kasane jumped off the horse and ran up to him.
"As I thought, if Katane isn't here!"
"Well then, I have to report to my lord, so this is where we part…"
"Ah, um! I'm sorry for causing you trouble, Ikeda-san!"
"...No need, I'm accustomed this this."
Returning a brusque answer, he headed off to Nobunaga's room.
He was looking quite forward to seeing the grouchy lord.
"That concludes my report."
"...I see."
Nobunaga responded only one short sentence to Ikeda's account.
"... Surely my lord doesn't need to trouble in this matter anymore.
"...Hmph."
"...Are you curious? Of what happened between Kusanagi-dono and I?"
Nobunaga narrowed his eyes.
"Why should I."
"That girl…"
As Nobunaga tried to object his interest, Ikeda opened his mouth.
"-happens to have two beauty marks on her stomach. Did you know that?"
"..."
Faintly smiling, Ikeda told him.
BAM! Cutting off Ikeda's words, Nobunaga took out his sword and flung it into the map before him.
With eyes that hungry thirst for blood, he silently glared down at Ikeda.
He suddenly stood up and left the room.
"Where are you going?"
"..."
With Nobunaga totally ignoring him, Ikeda laughed amusingly at the man retreating from him.
"Even the Owari's demon king is just another child."
"And then…"
Gathered with the three idiots in her room, Kasane explained the job she did with Ikeda.
Just as she was invested into her story, they heard a loud footsteps approaching them.
'What is it?' Kasane thought before the door slid violently open.
Kasane widened her eyes in surprise.
"Nobunaga-sama? What's wrong?"
Disregarding Gorouza's question, Nobunaga only moved his gaze until it fell onto Kasane's form.
Noticing her in the room; with eyes that had no room for the three idiots, Nobunaga came steadily closer to her.
"W-what…?"
The forceful and severely cross Nobunaga stared fixedly down at Kasane.
Kasane shrank under him.
And with all his might, he suddenly rushed to the floor and leaned over her.
It happened so unexpectedly while she still was trying to comprehend what had happened; she could only look at up at him in shock.
Not wasting any time, Nobunaga lifted her shirt up, showing her bare abdomen to all in the room.
"? ? ! ! !"
Kasane gave out a silent shriek while the three idiots, forgetting to be her lifeboat, stood at the side dumbfoundedly.
(There's no beauty mark anywhere...)
Studying hard her abdomen, no matter how he squinted his eyes, he could not find anything on her smooth, white skin.
(...That Katsusaburou, to think he deceived me...)
Figuring out Ikeda's fib too late, Kasane began to quake with angry underneath him.
Noticing her state, he questioned her, "What?" However, Kasane yelled in a loud voice.
"...You! Pervert! !"
Suppertime
Nobu : "...Why is my meal the only one that is burnt."
Goro: "...Who knows, it seems that Kasane-dono was the one who made it… Why don't you go ask her yourself?"
Ahahaha! I remember going ざまみろ！(Serves you right! ヾ(´ー｀*)) At Nobunaga. Ah... well. I'll be taking a short break both from translating and from this story. After my short break, I will start translating the next arc on 10 Strays. So until then, I hope you all will have a safe and enjoyable day! See in the other story!
