Ōigawa Castle - Okuyama Chikamoto 1561. Fall. The man who was guiding me appeared to be a subordinate of the Isshiki retainer who was in charge of everything related to their port. From the faint scent of sea coming from him, I could tell that he had been out at sea until recently. “Can I ask you something?” “Please, ask away. Though, I’m afraid there won’t be much I can answer. I am just a low-rank personnel, after all.” Though his body was well-built, his answer made him sound…- 50.9 K • Ongoing
Ōigawa Castle - Isshiki Masataka 1561. Fall. “Someya Kumakichi-sama and Someya Torakichi-sama are here.” Kojūrō’s voice echoed from outside. It took them longer than I expected to come here. I guess Kumakichi’s discussion with Mother took a while, huh? You see, the Imagawa clan had close ties with Kyōtō’s Ashikaga shogunate. In fact, they were relatives, as Imagawa was a branch of the Kira clan, one of the ‘Ashikaga Goikka’. Ashikaga Goikka itself referred to three clans:…- 50.9 K • Ongoing
- Ōigawa Castle - Isshiki Masataka 1561. Fall. Michifusa completed the task I assigned to him the other day perfectly. A man sat in the courtyard, his body tightly bound with ropes. It had been several days since we first captured him, and since that time, his appearance had turned rugged. I could see in his eyes; he was looking down on me due to my age. Well, it wasn’t a big deal. I’d received similar looks whenever I visited Imagawa Residence anyway. Standing beside him was a man. He…

- Okazaki Castle - Matsudaira Motoyasu 1561. Fall. “Is there something you need from me, my lord?” “You’re here, Tadatsugu? Yes, there is. I need to discuss something with you.” “I see. Please excuse me, then.” Tadatsugu sat down in front of me and straightened his posture. He had probably known what it was that I wanted to talk about with him. After all, he had been serving me for so many years. “Earlier, I was speaking with Masanobu. About the unification of…

- Okazaki Castle - Matsudaira Motoyasu 1561. Fall “What brings you here, Masanobu?” “Now that the festive atmosphere in the castle town has subsided, I figured that we would be proceeding with the talk of war. Hence I came to see you, my lord.” This man was the man I consulted the most—aside from Tadatsugu—Honda MasanobuThis is Honda Masanobu, a trusted advisor of Motoyasu's, and also someone that he thought of highly, though his other retainers thought otherwise. In history, he once…

- Ōigawa Castle - Isshiki Masataka 1561. Fall “Was the ajiIt's a type of mackerel. to your liking?” “...Is that really the question you should be asking me now?” That was an understandable reaction, really. Though neither Isshiki nor Matsudaira held a grand ceremony, today, for all intents and purposes, was our wedding day. The merchants and the townsfolk heard about it, of course, and they flooded us with gifts and caused quite the commotion, so I guess I could call tonight’s…

- Ōigawa Castle - Isshiki Masataka 1561. Fall. “Hanahime-sama, may I ask you to tell me more about Masataka-sama?” “Of course you may. From today onwards, you are my daughter, Hisa. There is no need for you to be so reserved.” When I arrived at the room where Ohisa-sama was, I overheard hers and Mother’s conversation from outside. It was great and all to hear them getting along well, but I couldn’t shake the feeling that they did it at my expense. If I were to come in right now,…

- Ōigawa Castle - Isshiki Masataka 1561. Fall. “Kojūrō, don’t let anyone in until further instructions.” “Understood.” I could hear Kojūrō’s reply from the other side of the door. Alright, that should take care of any eavesdroppers from the front. With members of the Sakae hiding in the attic and under the floor boards, this place should be free from infiltrating shinobi from other regions either. “Rakudo, come.” “Yes.” Rakudo appeared from above, wearing an…

- Ōigawa Castle - Ono Michifusa 1561. Fall. “May I have a word with you?” “Hikami-sama… Masatomo-dono and Sasuke-dono as well…” The moment I left the lord’s room, the other three of Isshiki Four Retainers called out to me. It seemed they had been waiting for me outside. “Not here. First, let’s move to my room.” “Understood.” With Hikami-sama in the lead, the three of us followed behind. On the way, the people that we passed bowed their heads to us and realized…

- Ōigawa Castle - Isshiki Masataka 1561. Fall. After telling Michifusa and Hikogorō to visit my room later, I left the great hall and went to my room. Kojūrō would escort them here later, so it wouldn’t be a problem even if I left first. Anyway, the retainers gave the exact reactions I expected when I mentioned Oda Nobunaga. If even our Isshiki was like this, then I guess bringing up the topic to the Imagawa Residence was out of the question. Still, the end of Imagawa was quickly…
