Kasane x Nobunaga

Part One

"...Fifth person down!"

"Dam-damnit~!"

"You're amazing, Kasane-dono."

"Katane's arm wrestling skills are amazing!"

"Eh? Ahaha, I'm pretty confident with my physical abilities after all!"

She proudly replied to Gorouza and Inuchiyo.

Just by chance all of the young foot soldiers gathered around for an arm wrestling competition and Kasane had magnificently defeated each competitor one by one.

"Don't get ahead of yourself, idiot woman."

"!"

Crossing his arms, Kuranosuke frowned at Kasane.

Kasane undauntedly stared back at Kuranosuke for his haughty comment.

"At this rate the male's dignity will be tarnished… I'll go against you this time."

"...Alright! I accept your challenge!"

Facing each other, they both took a seat and reached for each other's arms.

Gripping their hands tightly together, they prepared themselves for the fight.

"...Well then… begin!"

As Gorouza announced the signal, Kasane and Kuranosuke arms began move against each other.

Both arms made no budge from the middle as both participants showed no indication to move each other's arms away from that spot.

"...As I a man like me…! ….Could ever lose against a girl like you! I'll make cry after this battle…!"

"In the name of this battle I also won't lose! Even I hate to lose after all…!"

Gorouza and Inuchiyo entertained themselves with the view of their two friends tightly grasped each other's fists as sparks scattered out before their two eyes.

"Both of you guys, go for it~!"

Inuchiyo began to loudly cheer.

Not only was his voice was loud, but he also began happily to wave out both of his arms.

Stealing a few glances at Inuchiyo, the short-tempered Kuranosuke began to feel irritated.

"...Kuh (Just leave him be, concentrate, concentrate)"

"Go for it~! Both of you don't lose~! !"

"..."

"...What's all this ruckus about?"

"...You're too annoying! Shut up! !"

With his patience finally breaking, Kuranosuke snapped.

However, he then noticed that the figure he yelled to wasn't his original target Inuchiyo, but actually his lord, Oda Kazusanosuke Nobunaga.

"a….No-no-no-nobunaga-sama!?"

Instantly turning pale at the face, his attention when straight to Nobunaga.

Just when his concentration broke, the strength he had in his hand loosened, leading Kasane to slam it into the table.

"Ah!?"

"Yaya~! My win~! !"

Kasane cheered and happily jumped up and down.

Unable to grasp onto his sudden defeat, he stood up to Kasane.

"D-don't screw with me! That was invalid win!?

"The world of battles is a harsh place! It's your fault for losing focus!"

"...Hmph, that's right. It's your loss, Kuranosuke."

"No-nobunaga-sama…"

Nobunaga snorted out a small laugh and glanced down at the pair.

"So you all gathered here for an arm-wrestling competition… Not only that you've all lost to this woman?"

He sent a small glance at Gorouza and Inuchiyo.

Gorouza who treated this girl like a flower would have lost on purpose while Inuchiyo would definitely lose by this girl from his lack of ability to focus on one thing at a time.

However, excluding Gorouza and Inuchiyo all the other guy's lost while using their maximum strength.

"True, our dignity as men will lose face.

Nobunaga said as he gave out a small 'hmph'.

Every one of these guys were too faint hearted.

It seems that is was necessary to re-review their training later.

"Woman."

"Yes?"

Nobunaga took a seat in the spot where Kuranosuke just sat in before and offered out his arm.

"It's now my turn."

"Eh… Eeeh? !"

Kasane's eyes widened at his sudden challenge.

"What's wrong? Too scared to accept?"

Provoked by his taunt, Kasane began ruled up.

Sitting right in front of him, she tightly grasped his large hand.

"It won't be my responsibility if you become embarrassed later."

She determinedly huffed out.

Nobunaga gave out a thin laugh at her action.

"T-then… begin!"

At Gorouza's signal, Kasane quickly began to apply all of her power into her arm.

However as if he felt nothing, Nobunaga's arm remained still in it's place. Kasane looked up at him.

"Is that all?"

Kasane, determined not to lose, applied more power into her arm.

However her situation did not change at all.

"Ha… you….Ah!"

At the end of her rope she sharply exhaled; Nobunaga took the chance and slammed her hand onto the table.

Unable to process her defeat, she stared up at him in utter amazement.

"It's my win."

"...! !"

Seeing him triumphantly looking down at her, Kasane scowled with little tears coming out of her eyes.

Eyeing her in that state, he pleasantly opened his mouth.

"Then, I'll have you listen to one of my orders."

"!? W-what? I didn't hear about this!"

"The vanished always attends to the victorious… It's natural that the loser will have to follow whatever the winner wants them to do."

"W-wh-wh-wh-what are you saying…"

Stood up from his seat and gazed down at her.

Kasane could only gaze up at him with her mouth gaping wide open.

"...Come to my room afterwards. I'll tell you then."

Turning at his heel, leaving a dumbfounded Kasane behind him.

Arm wrestling... never was good at that. Doesn't matter if I'm up against a kid or old man, I would always lose. Well, at least I'm not aiming to be a world champion in the arm wrestling world.

Let's see... I might be able to upload the next chapter soon. Dunno when, but I'll see everyone here tonight. Have a safe and enjoyable day!
