Trope Pantheon: Date Masamune, God of Eye-Patches
Path B: Chapter 3
Previously: Masamune goes into the House of Weapons and trains with his ally Rorona Zoro. After a friendly match, Masamune returns to his temple, only to be greeted by Echigo warlord Usuegi Kenshin, who encourages him on his future decisions. Burning with a resolve to drive out Hideyoshi, Masamune decides to go into the House of Combat and train himself to take down the Toyotomi ruler alongside Ieyasu Tokugawa. After the completion of his training, he decides to head back home only for a man to challenge him. His wings will lead him to a heavily intense battle…
Night time
Masamune goes to bed, He eats up a rice ball he attained earlier from the house of food and looks up at the sky. Up at in the sky was a beautiful moon. 'Heh… It's beautiful…. Has it always been like this in the pantheon…?' Eyes worn out on him, Masamune goes to sleep.
Morning time
The next day, Masamune, in his hakama, wakes up. With the sun running through his eyes, Masamune, in his trademark attire, decides to walk around the House of Personal Appearance. He sees an enthusiastic god in a ninja uniform, a god with a long beard, a god with albino hair looking depressed, and a goddess looking angry about something, As he walks around a bit further, he sees another albino god with two weapons. After looking at him, the one eyed dragon's tour is interrupted by a deity he met earlier. "… So you've come after all… Samuel Rodriguez."
"Indeed… When it comes to capable opponents like you, I never break any promises… Now then… How about we "dance" a bit…?" As they both draw out their swords, the two swordsmen charged at each other and put their blades in a lock.
"So, have you found more people for the sword tournament…?" Asking Sam about more contestants for the tournament, Masamune tries to defeat him in the lock.
"You'll find out later…" Sam replies as he pushes Masamune back in the middle of the lock. After a minute, they break away from their lock by jumping back from each other. "You're decent for a samurai, I'll give you that…" As he chuckles, Sam runs forward at the one eyed Dragon, attempting to land multiple attacks on him. Unfortunately his opponent evaded most of his attacks. "…You seem to be more defensive than usual… This isn't like you." Sam noted, slightly dropping his smile as he keeps attacking his opponent.
'He has good eyes… Since Kojuro isn't here, I shouldn't be too careless on the offensive...' As he continues to dodge Sam's attacks, he finished his thought. '…Is something he would say…' The Azure Samurai blocks Jetstream's next attack, putting into another block. "You're as skilled as ever with that sword of yours." Complimenting his opponent, Masamune quickly breaks away from the lock, with Sam chasing him.
"I'm really looking forward to see you fight like this in my tournament." Jetstream compliments his foe as he tries to take down Masamune with strong multiple strikes, with the latter struggling to block each of them, getting overwhelmed by them. Jetstream, as a cheap trick, tackles him to the ground, knocking him away three yards from him, only recovering on crouching position. "What's wrong…? I've seen you do better." As Sam charges at Masamune, he mocks his skills. "Show me a better time than this…!" As Sam gets closer to the One Eyed Dragon, the latter catches him off guard by striking him with a horizontal sweep; knocking his sword off his hand the process, followed by a leap.
"Nice try. Your words won't anger me! Phantom Dive!" Slamming the ground, Masamune sends it forward to knock Sam away, but the Jetstream swordsman easily evades it. As the Azure Samurai begins to run forward at Sam, his opponent sheathes his sword "Quitting the battle now…?" Suddenly, a gunshot was heard. Masamune looks closer at Jetstream Sam's sheath and saw a trigger built inside it. '…A Trigger for a sheath…?' He then sees the swords coming out of the sheath. 'A sword launcher!? …I've got a bad feeling about this…' As he slows down, Masamune draws out his five other swords to block his opponent's next attack, feeling it could be very strong attack. As he gets closer, Sam unleashes a very fast swing on his sword, trying to deliver a heavy blow on Masamune's abdomen. With barely enough reaction time, Masamune blocks the blow. 'That's quite the attack he has there… that was close…' Unfortunately, the swords made a crack inside them. '…Not good…! He made a crack on two of my Uroboros swords….!?' Knowing that he is now at a disadvantage, The One eyed Dragon backed away from Sam.
"You've caught on to my next move quite well… Adios, One eyed Dragon!" Sheathing his sword a second time, Jetstream Sam turns his back on his opponent. "Your fighting style has improved slightly, but it won't be enough for you to win that tournament." And with that, Jetstream Sam leaves the House of Personal Appearance. "I'll hope you'll improve by time I announce the tournament."
As he catches his breath, Masamune see his skilled opponent depart to an unknown destination. 'Jetstream Sam… You're quite the opponent… Heh heh… Just like the ones from Japan… You've earned my respect, lad.' Smiling at the fact he had a very good friendly match with a fellow swordsman, Masamune heads for his temple to change his sword set.
At his temple, Masamune changes his sword set to Tiamat. 'He's made a crack on my blade… not once from the mortal realm of Japan have tried to do so…' He isfascinated about the feat his recent opponent accomplished. 'Looks like I'm gonna chow down a lot…' A hungry Masamune decides to go the House of Food.
Fifty five minutes later, Masamune arrives at the House of Food. His meal was fifteen meat buns, a set of sea weeds, and some ramen noodles mixed with beef. Cherishing on his food, the one eyed dragon eats his meal. 'I've picked up quite a meal…' As he eats the meat buns, a voice calls out to him.
"Date Masamune…!" A certain god in a red vest and white pants approached him. "It's been some time since we've last met!" What his tray was three pieces of steak, and two bowls of chicken vegetable udon soup.
"Ah! Yukimura…!" Smiling to see his rival, Masamune lets him share a seat. "What business you have here, kid?"
"I've come here to satiate my starving body…" Sounding slightly depressed, Yukimura then starts to eat his soup.
"Still any efforts to ascend that master of yours yet?" Masamune asks Yukimura about his efforts of having Shingen ascend.
"No… My efforts of making the Noble Lord ascend have not come to reality yet… By the way… What about that assistant of yours…? Katakoro Kojuro, was it?" Feeling somewhat better about being asked about Shingen's ascension, Yukimura returns the favor and asks Masamune about Kojuro.
"…Now that you brought that up, I haven't thought about it yet…" Smiling, Masamune gives out his honest answer. "I'm glad you've brought that up, kid… In speaking of Shingen, don't you have a ninja assistant…?" Masamune asks Yukimura.
"…S-sarutobi…?" Surprised, Yukimura standing up and leaves "Noble Lord! I'm sorry! I've forgot to have Sarutobi ascend! I'm such a foolish leader!" Screaming as he runs off, the one eyed dragon's reminder caused the Cub of Kai to easily run off. "Thanks for the reminder, Date Masamune!"
'Heh… Good luck on getting them both ascended, kid.' Yukimura's question wore down Masamune's smile a bit. 'I'm glad you've asked that question… Yukimura… I hope to get a rematch with you some day… Hope your flames have ignited brighter than before…' With a smile now faint, Masamune continues to eat his meat buns… 'Now… What to do next…' As eats while thinking of his next plan, another god approaches Masamune.
"Hey, Masamune… It's been a while." the figure wore a black jacket with yellow trims, along with yellow pants. "Has everything been fine so far…?" Smiling, the God checks up on Masamune's mood.
"Yeah… What brings you here, Shogun…?" With a faint smile, the one eyed dragon then asks him another question. "Have you brought me any news…?" As his smile dies down, Masamune was slightly somber.
"I'm afraid I do… Hideyoshi and his allies are on a hunt for you…" Now frowning, the Shogun, Ieyasu Tokugawa, then gives Masamune the details "Even worse is that he's allied with Nobunaga… We must gather up allies to defeat them." After giving his ally the full details, Ieyasu lets in one last to Masamune. "All of this because you've defeated Mitsunari…" Ieyasu concluded.
"Tch… Looks I've started quite a ruckus with the Toyotomi." With his hand on his chin, a flare of determination came up on his face. 'This isn't going to be easy… but I'll give it a shot.' Having made his decision up,He then turns back at Ieyasu. "All right, let's go and gather up everyone."
"Good. I will be residing in the house of Friendship once you're done…" With their plans outlined, Ieyasu leaves the House of Food.
'Good… The first guy I'll gather up is Pretty Boy… I hope that he's still in his temple.' Abandoning his food, Masamune decides to find Keiji Maeda in the House of Love. 'I could sure use a warm-up right now.'
An hour later, The one-eyed dragon arrives at the House of Love. 'This place is endearing as ever…' Sarcastic as he ignores the other deities residing in the place, he proceeds to find Keiji. 'This house is filled with weirdos…' The leader of Oshuu wasn't too fond of this house. In his search for Keiji, He encounters a goddess with blonde hair, wearing a red dress, another goddess with long black, wearing plain glasses, a god in a military uniform, A goddess with facial markings on her face, and a God with brunette hair. When he finally gets to Keiji's temple, he sees a note.
"If you're going to visit me, I'm in Kenshin's temple" – Keiji
'Well… Ladykiller took a fine vacation…' Deadpan, Masamune prepares to leave the House of Love. 'I hope Ieyasu's taking good care of that woman…' Masamune lowers his head in fear… 'The demon king's sister… If we send her on the battlefield, she could be a serious liability to us…' Fearing that could happen, The Head of Oshuu decides to visit the House of War. '…Yukimura should be in the House of War at this moment.' His next search was none other than his rival Sanada Yukimura
One hour and thirty five minutes later, Masamune appears in the House of War. 'Tch…At least this environment is better than that other house… Now, to find Yukimura…" As he seeks out his rival's temple, there were fights everywhere. 'Quite the battlefield I see.' Putting his search for Yukimura on pause, he decides to watch the battles.
Forty five minutes later, Masamune is still watching the battles. Suddenly, a voice calls to him. "Date Masamune…!" Yukimura, with his two spears approaches the Azure samurai.
"Kid…! Perfect timing." Smiling in anticipation, Masamune approaches his rival. "I have a request…!"
"What is it…? What business do you have here at this house…?" Puzzled, Yukimura awaits his rival's answer.
"The Toyotomi have come for me and the Shogun…Will you help me out…?" With a serious look on his face, the one eyed dragon asks his rival to assist in the battle against Hideyoshi's forces."
"Yes, I will… For the greater peace of this Pantheon, I, Yukimura, will aid you in this battle!" Raising his spears up, Yukimura agrees to help his rival against Hideyoshi's forces.
"That's the spirit, kid. Now let's warm up!" Drawing all of his six swords, Masamune sprints at Yukimura and attacks him. Having enough time to react, The cub of Kai counters his rival's strike against him, putting both their weapons in a lock. "Your reflexes have improved. You'll make a great tiger someday…" As he compliments his rival once more, Masamune adds in a few more words. "Just don't go in the battlefield guns blazing…"
"Such great advice will be taken... Masamune… I will become a better tiger than the Noble Lord someday!" As Yukimura makes his proud boast, the two rivals jumped back, breaking the weapon lock. Yukimura charges at Masamune and tries to strike him down. Unfortunately, the latter blocks it. "…Where is meeting place…?" As he tries to attack him, a curious Yukimura asks his rival where their attack will take place.
"All of us will be grouping up at the house of Friendship. The Shogun and I will be leading the attack." As he blocks Yukimura's attacks, he gives the latter the full details. "We'd better end this soon; the Toyotomi will hunt us down…" Jumping a few steps back, Masamune takes a step back. He then forms an energy ball with his sword. "Let's see if you can reflect this…Hell Dragon!" The one eyed launches it forward at The Young of Kai, who deflects it with his two spears. "That's enough for now, kid… Be seeing you in the House of Friendship." Getting on his horse, Masamune departs the House of War... 'Alright, time to get the Ladykiller, and then we're heading out.' And with that, The One eyed Dragon of Oshuu's next destination was the House of Faith.
Fifty nine minutes later, The Azure samurai makes his visit at the House of Faith to find Keiji. Upon his visit, he sees many deities with robes. '…It's stuff like this that I don't visit this house very often.' Ignoring the other deities, Masamune goes straight for Kenshin's temple. As walks to his destination, he sees a blonde haired goddess in a body running off. '…Did that Kunoichi of his get the message…?' As he followed the trail from which he came, Masamune eventually found Keiji along with his friend Kenshin. "Hey, Pretty Boy…"
"What brings the beautiful dragon of Oshuu here…?" The leader of wondered what Masamune's intention for visiting him.
"I, Date Masamune, have come here to ask you to join us against Hideyoshi's forces!" The Azure samurai announced his plan to the two deities.
"Very well… I'll go..." With a serious tone in his voice, Kei agrees to assist Masamune on his adventure. "I have some business to settle with Hideyoshi…" As he stood up, his pet monkey climbed up on his back. "So, where do we meet?"
"Young Leader of Oshuu… Before you depart, allow me to test your skills in battle." While he draws his sword after he stands up, Kenshin charges at Masamune and attacks him. The One Eyed Dragon quickly draws out his sword and blocks his opponent's attacks.
"You're as sharp as ever, War of Echigo…" Slight ecstatic, the Azure Dragon compliments his training partner.
"Hmhmhm… You're not bad yourself." Returning Masamune's compliment, Kenshin moves to the side and attempts to strike down Masamune with his blade. "Shinzan!" With multiple swift swipes, he manages to hit Masamune a few times. The Head of Oshuu tries to fight back, but gets hit with another set of multiple strikes. "You're getting sloppy… Is this all the skills you have…?" Scolding his opponent's skills, Kenshin pauses for a response.
"Kh… No… N-Not yet…!" With blood coming from the body, Masamune prepares to stand up once more 'Looks like I'll have to go on the defensive.' As hedraws out his other swords, Masamune, limping, gives out his reply to Kenshin. "No… This isn't the end…" With his index finger, he swings it to point it at himself. "Come!"
"In that case…" Sprinting at high speed, Kenshin begins to attack Masamune again. This time, Masamune blocks the attack. "Shinretsu…!" Kenshin unleashes a series of attacks from his sword to hit Masamune. As the latter blocked most of his attacks, he takes damage from a few of them. Deciding that the battle was enough, Kenshin steps back in front of his temple. "I'll end this session here. I wish the two of you good luck." Before he walks into his temple, Kenshin leaves out one last message to Keiji. "Don't get depowered, my good friend." He finally enters his temple, leaving Masamune and Keiji to themselves.
"You're ready to go, Pretty boy?" With a determined look on his face, Masamune asks Keiji if the latter's ready.
"Yes… Let us be on our way." Responding with a somber but serious tone in his voice, Keiji goes with Masamune to the House of Friendship.
"Kh…! Actually… I'll catch up you later. I'll make a quick visit to the House of Food to get a few rice balls and water to eat from that fight. I'll meet you up there after I get the food." The two went to their destinations as planned by the One Eyed Dragon.
As forty minutes has passed, Masamune enters the house of Food to get three rice balls and glass of water after his training session with Kenshin. 'That guy really did a number on me there. Now time to head to the House of Friendship' He quickly leaves for the House of Friendship.
Thirty five minutes later, Masamune arrives at the House of Friendship with everyone else present. "…Am I late?" Masamune asks Worried that they have started without him.
"No… You're just in time…" Ieyasu then yells at everyone else. "Everyone! Come to my temple! We'll have to discuss our plan!" Everyone followed Ieyasu to his temple. At the inside, the heroic warlords of the Jidai Geki era were informed of Ieyasu's scheme. "Alright! Here's the plan! Motochika! Yukimura! The two of you will strike Motonari and his forces! Tadakatsu will take on Mitsunari's right hand man Yoshitsugu! Masamune, you will have to take on Mitsunari! Maeda and I will take on Hideyoshi… And…" The Tokugawa warlord paused for a few seconds before finishing "As much as I hate to do this, but the sister of Oda Nobunaga, Oichi, will be used as bait to lure out the demon King. Is everyone clear on this…?" After Ieyasu was finished announcing his plan, everyone was silent. Ieyasu was surprised at the sudden silence.
"Tokugawa… You really think it's a good idea to have the Demon king's sister on the battlefield…?" Reluctant on deploying Oichi for battle, a bare chested God with an eye-patch speaks out against it. "I mean, she may have subdued the Demon King once, but that doesn't mean she can do it a second time…" After scolding Ieyasu, the God becomes silent.
"Motochika… I know she will possibly be a liability to our, but we can't allow them to depower us..." After justifying his decisions to Motochika, he goes on to give extra advice. "If you've finished your battle early, please help out your allies. Now… Let's Go!" With the plan in place, the heroes of the Sengoku era have set out for their respective enemies.
An hour and fifty eight minutes later, Ieyasu, Masamune, and Keiji set foot on the House of Weapons to find Hideyoshi. As they search for Hideyoshi, a screaming was heard. "Ieyaassuuu! You're escaping me this time!" From above, Mitsunari strikes the group. To counter Mitsunari's attack, The leader of Oshuu, drawing out his sword, jumps up to block his attack.
"Your opponent is me, slim boy… Up for round three…?" Putting their blades in a lock, Masamune turns to Ieyasu and Keiji. "Tokugawa! Maeda! Go to Toyotomi quick! I'll take of this guy first." At his command the other two Jidai Geki heroes did Masamune told them.
"You've heard him. Let's get to Hideyoshi!" Repeating Masamune's orders, Keiji ordered Ieyasu to leave the fight to the One Eyed Dragon.
"Please… Come in one piece, Masamune. Mitsunari's in your hands." The other two heroes of the Sengoku era left Masamune and Mitsunari to fight each other.
"Ieyasu, you coward… Come back and challenge me, you bastard…!" Enraged with his sworn enemy's departure, Mitsunari tries to chase him.
"Hell Dragon…!" Masamune releases an energy ball forward at Mitsunari, who was chasing Ieyasu. The fanatically loyal Toyotomi retainer evades the energy ball. 'What speed…' The one eyed dragon snaps his fingers, orders his horse to come to him. Two minutes later, the Horse arrives, and Masamune jumps on the Horse to catch up to Mitsunari. 'That bastard better not catch up to them.' Not allowing his enemy to reach them, he charges up an energy ball while he commands his horse to go faster. As he chases Mitsunari, he realizes they're almost close to Hideyoshi's temple.
'Shit… We'll be at a major disadvantage; that Gorilla King can use bodies as weapons…' The thought of using a body as a weapons unnerved him a bit; an ally would receive equal harm from using a body. Suddenly a grenade was thrown twenty five feet in front of Mitsunari. After it was thrown, smoke started to come out, blinding Mitsunari; this buys Ieyasu and Keiji time to get to Hideyoshi. Seeing the smoke, Masamune makes his horse slow down, jumps off, draws out three swords, and lands on the ground. Trying to pinpoint Mitsunari in the smokescreen, he charges up an energy ball while he goes inside the smokescreen, coughing in the process. "I can't miss this shot... Here goes…!" Without warning, Masamune launches the energy ball. One minute and five seconds later, an explosion was heard.
'Did it hit him…?' With the smokescreen still in effect, the one eyed Dragon couldn't tell whether he succeeded or not. Two minutes later, the smokescreen cleared up. Masamune sees no injuries on Mitsunari. '…It missed.' Charging at the Dark King, Masamune draws another sword, swapping one sword on the other hand. "You'd better prepare yourself, Ishida Mitsunari…! I, Date Masamune, will defeat you once again!"
"You've gotten lucky weakling… but I will not let the Toyotomi name be disgraced again! Die, Date Masamune!" At high speed, Mitsunari vanishes from his opponent's sight.
'I've seen that before…!' Turning around, Masamune prepares to spin around with his swords in each hand. True enough for the Azure Samurai, Mitsunari appears behind Masamune, but receives a major cut to the face.
"Graagh!" Covering the flesh wound to his face, Mitsunari steps back from Masamune. "You're really starting to vexate me…" Anger was easily in his voice.
"….Looks like your Gorilla King needs tame your anger a bit, don't you think…?" With a smile on his face, Masamune taunts the fanatical Toyotomi supporter. Without warning, Mitsunari teleports in front of Masamune and tries to grab him, only for the One eyed dragon to kick him in the stomach. "Tch, you're becoming too predictable for me." As he knocks Mitsunari away from him, he prepares to give him the finishing blow. Suddenly, an explosion was heard, disrupting their fight. "I'll finish you off some time." Calling his horse, The One eyed Dragon rides on and see what happened at the site of the explosion.
'I've been defeated for the third time… Lord Hideyoshi… Lord Hanbei… I've failed you both…' Lying on his knees in despair, Mitsunari collapses.
Masamune arrives at the site of Hideyoshi's temple to see it in ruins. He sees Ieyasu and Keiji escaping from the temple. "You're both okay…" He then turns to the Toyotomi commander's temple. "…This explosion… I suspect this has to be the Demon King's doing."
"…He was several steps ahead of us… Even using Hideyoshi as a pawn…" Ieyasu's looked down at the ground.
"Hideyoshi…" Keiji mumble in a saddened voice to see the demise of his once good friend. "…Despite my pleas, I couldn't convince him this time." He then turns away. "You guys can go fight Nobunaga without me…" The former good friend of Hideyoshi goes back to his ruin temple.
"Grab the Demon King's Sister; I'm going alone..." Setting off with his horse, Masamune then heads for the House of Villains to take down Nobunaga. 'Demon King of the Sixth Heaven… You're next...!' With an shine of determination on his face, he prepares for the next battle.
"Masamune!" Ieyasu tried to call him back, but he fails to do so.
One hour and thirty minutes later, Masamune sets foot in the House of Villains. Nobunaga was there waiting for him. "Hmph, so you've come, foolish dragon…" The Demons King said with his arms crossed. Strong wind was blowing from the left.
"You… I won't allow you to make anyone suffer anymore… Your onslaught will end right here…" Enraged in stride, Masamune unsheathes his six swords and rushes at Nobunaga, who then bulldozes Masamune into the air and kicks him down in the air.
"Only a fool would alone against me. I will depower you slowly." Slowly walking up to Masamune, Nobunaga brings out his sword and tries to damage Masamune, blocks his attacks in time. As the latter blocks his attacks, the Demon King uses his cape to knock him away. After doing so, he chases the one eyed dragon to attack him again. Masamune receives a wound on the left side of his chest.
'Damn! With that cape protecting him, I'm in a pinch.' As Nobunaga runs to him again, the overwhelmed Masamune is trying to think of a plan. He withdraws all but one sword and puts all of his energy into the sword, charging at Nobunaga in the process. His opponent brings out a gun and shoots it at him. Masamune quickly dodges the gunshot and gets closer to the demon king. At the minute of attacking him, he moves away from him, knowing the cape will knock the sword away from him. Suddenly, Masamune watches something stealthily thrown into the vicinity of Nobunaga. Three minutes later, it turns out to be a bomb and exploded, slight blinding the Demon King.
"Nrrggh!" Couldn't see a thing, he covered his eyes, allowed Masamune to attack.
"...One less bastard to take care of..." Sprinting towards his opponent, he unleashes Testament, managing to damage the Demon King of the Sixth Heaven, knocking him away in the process. As Masamune chases him to attack him once more, his enemy shoots him on the knee. 'Khh…! Great…I got sloppy.' Limping from the gunshot wound, Masamune draws out his five other swords threw them in the air around his opponent, forming a dragon symbol. As he starts to slowly run at Nobunaga, Masamune jumps in the air. With his sword, he dives at the Demon King, hoping to depower him. "Jumping Jack Breaker!" As he got closer to his enemy, the one-eyed dragon tightened his grip on his sword. Nobunaga fires a set of gunshots as an attempt slow him down, only for him to evade all of them. Masamune pierces Nobunaga. After one minute, The Demon King of the Sixth Heaven collapses.
"So… Looks like I've met my end here..." After saying his dying words, the body of Oda Nobunaga completely collapses.
'Looks like it's finally over...' Standing victorious, Masamune prepares to depart the house of Villains. Before doing so, someone called his name.
"Masamune…!" A dark-skinned god with an eye patch appears. "…Glad I helped you out in time, mate."
"Tavish… If you hadn't thrown that bomb, I'd be in serious trouble right now… I thank you for your help." Smiling, Masamune was glad that the Demon King was destroyed for good. "Let's get out of this place before his friends strike us down." They both escaped the House of Villains to escape the wrath of the other villains.
Two hours after the battle, Masamune sets foot on the House of Food after the ferociously hard fought battle. He gets a plate of string beans and a bowl of Chicken Kare Udon Soup. Instead of eating it here, he takes it with him to his own temple.
Later in the House of Personal Appearance, Masamune gets into temple and starts eating. As he does so, he thinks about Kojuro and his men. 'Kojuro… I'll promise some day I'll get you into the pantheon someday… Until then, I'll occasionally start doing what you've taught me throughout our battles.' Making a very serene smile, Masamune starts to eat his soup.
Later in the House of Magic, a figure emerges from the shadows. Along with him was a Goddess who with purple hair, wearing very fancy clothes.
"I thank you for the magical duplicate you've made, witch." The figure prepares to walk off to an unknown destination. "You owe me one…"
"Of course…" The witch smiled. "Those fools never caught on to the fact that the real you was in this house after all." Before the Witch departed, she gives him her thanks. "It's such a pleasure to work with you… Oda Nobunaga." And with that the two parted ways.
