Atsumi Bay - Isshiki Masataka Fall. When I returned to the cabin, I found one of the retainers looking exhausted. He was Isshiki Masaaki. As his name suggested, he was a member of the branch clan, the younger brother of Masatomo. Unlike Masatomo, he liked to fight more than dealing with internal affairs, so he came here to accompany me as one of my guards. “Are you okay, Masaaki?” “F-forgive me for showing you such a pathetic sight of me, my lord…” His pale face grew even…- 43.2 K • Ongoing
Okazaki Castle Town - Isshiki Masataka 1561. Fall. When we first arrived, we didn’t cause any commotion. But now, when we were about to leave, we had to proceed slowly amidst the festive cheering of the townspeople. Someone must’ve seen the cart filled with dowry and the impressive-looking palanquin—both weren’t there when we first arrived—and realized that they were all prepared for Ohisa-sama’s wedding procession. Actually, Ohisa-sama herself wanted to ride on a horseback, but…- 43.2 K • Ongoing
- Okazaki Castle - Isshiki Masataka 1561. Fall. “Sorry to keep you waiting. The lord is ready. Let us guide you to where he is.” It was a while after Nobunaga’s sudden visit that Tadatsugu finally arrived. He really kept us waiting for such a long time, but then again, it was thanks to that I managed to speak with Nobunaga. With such thoughts in mind, I, together with Michifusa, followed him to a room. I thought he’d bring us to the audience hall, but he didn’t. “I’ve brought…

- Okazaki Castle - Isshiki Masataka 1561. Fall. Okazaki Castle was, for lack of better words, magnificent. That was my first impression of it when I looked up at it from the castle town. It was way larger than Ōigawa Castle. Tadatsugu guided me to a room inside the castle. He said he’d come to fetch me after Motoyasu was ready. “This is a magnificent castle.” “Yes, it is. This castle was originally named ‘Ryutozan’, but after Kiyoyasu-dono, Motoyasu’s grandfather, seized it…

- Okazaki Castle Post Town - Isshiki Masataka 1561. Fall. It had been four days since we stayed at this inn that Tadatsugu picked for us. On the first day, I went around to explore the post town with the Sakae protecting me from the shadows. When I went back to the inn, I wrote the letters that I’d send back home. But now, four days had passed, and things had changed. Tadatsugu came to visit me every day, but he still hadn’t mentioned when exactly we'd go to Okazaki. Personally, I’d wait for…

- Yoshida Port - Isshiki Masataka 1561. Fall. Riding the horses Tadatsugu prepared for us, we left Yoshida Port. Shōbei had already set sail ahead of us—he put his business before everything, so this was just a matter of course. Anyway, even though it was already late, the plan was to go straight to Okazaki and spend the night at a lodging that Tadatsugu had arranged for us. We’d only enter the castle the next day, greet Motoyasu and Ohisa-sama, then take the latter with us back to Yoshida…

- Kiyosu Castle - Oda Nobunaga 1561. Fall. “Kinoshita TōkichirōThis is Toyotomi Hideyoshi's birth name. He was mentioned a few times prior to this, but if you still don't know, in history, he was the second unifier of Japan after Nobunaga. He was famous due to his background as a peasant who rose to become essentially the ruler of Japan. At this time, he's still working under Nobunaga, though, steadily building up a career under him.-dono has arrived.” “Did you call for me, my lord?” I…

- Ōigawa Port - Isshiki Masataka 1561. Fall. “Sorry for asking you this so suddenly, Hikogorō.” “Please, don’t be, my lord! If anything, as the Water Magistrate, I am honored that you chose to pick up Hisa-sama by the sea route!” There was a good reason why I came here, to the Ōigawa Port. Even after I thought of plenty of safety measures, the journey from Ōigawa to Okazaki was simply too far. Especially considering that I’d have to traverse through the territory that Motoyasu had…

- Ōigawa Castle - Isshiki Masataka 1561. Fall. Two months after my first battle. During that time, a lot had happened. First, the execution of the former lord of Hikuma Castle, Inoo Tsuratatsu, happened. After that, Udono Nagamochi and several others who colluded to defect from Imagawa were sentenced to seppuku. Following that, personnel changes were made. Retainers without castles were assigned to the castles without lords. Then, following the law of guilt by association, the execution of…

- Okazaki Castle - Hisahime 1561. Fall. “Motoyasu-dono, a letter from Masataka-sama has arrived.” When I peeked into the room, I found my younger brother and his wife, Sena-dono, inside. Not only them, Hattori Masashige-donoThis is him, THE Hattori Hanzo, the legend who was also known as THE DEVIL, the man who was immortalized as THE ninja. A footnote isn't enough to describe him tbh, so I'll recommend you to look him up. was also there. He was someone who helped my younger brother capture…
