The Tears of a Man
>Sir Keiji! I know this territory well!>It's only a short distance from here to Suemori Castle! Let's move immediately!>...>Do you also know the formation of the enemy camp very well?>Well...unfortunately not...>...since I came here in a rush...>But I know that you have a valid strategy, yes?>I have no strategy!>The war has not yet started...let's only think of resting in peace!>You're too optimistic! Do you know that this is my first battle?!>You can go away, if you don't want to rest!>Hunh?!>Do you know that next time you will crap yourself, and not just pee?!>Ah ah ah ah ah!>Uh...>Ugh...
[Central encampment of Tsuboiyama (Sassa's army)][Suemori Castle (Okumura army, Maeda family)]>Eh eh eh...Lord Nobunaga...observe well from the other world...>It's just a matter of time, and Suemori Castle will surrender!>Lord Nobunaga...I will recoup your world from Hideyoshi and from his instrument Toshiie, and execute them![The lone wolf of the Hokuriku region][The Castellan of Toyama Castle, Etchū province (now the modern day Toyama Prefecture)]
[Sassa Narimasa][He was the leader of the black mantle squad, a chosen group of Nobunaga's personal guards. Being a first-rank daimyo, Narimasa had a strong elitist conscience and reacted against the birth and development of Hideyoshi's government that arose from nothing after Nobunaga's death. For this reason, he opposed the league of Hideyoshi and Toshiie, acting in concert with Tokugawa Ieyasu.]>Uh?!>Damn monkey! How dare you drink my sake?!
>You won't escape me, oaf!>Aaah?!>L-Lord...>It's me!>Mh?!>Eh eh eh...>So...it's you?>I won't forgive you, if you pull my leg again! One look at a monkey annoys me!>Eh eh...[He works for Keiji of the Maeda family, but also passes information to the enemy Narimasa. Not despicable at all...]>And now? How do you think to take action at Kanazawa Castle?>The Maeda family does not move! I believe that Toshiie will wait for Hideyoshi's reinforcements!
>Tsk! That Toshiie...>...he's become really cowardly...>Lord!>I've brought you something new! We have just received news of a warrior that has penetrated our encampment, wearing the armor of Lord Nobunaga!>What?!>A warrior that wears the armor of Lord Nobunaga?!>The commander of the defensive army has already been killed...>...and two-hundred soldiers have withdrawn out of fear!>What?!>You're saying that two-hundred soldiers ran away out of fear of one solider?!>But they say that it truly seemed like the ghost of Lord Nobunaga...>Idiot! Do you believe that a ghost is capable of killing people?!>Lord Nobunaga...>Find this warrior at any cost and bring him here!>Yes Lord!>...
>It looks like Sir Keiji...>...has already started his show...[Hone of the Takeda family was known by ninja of every country. He had particular skills in disguising himself, and above all accepted tasks as a hitman because he loved killing.]
>...>Uhm...>What a good smell...>Damn him! Doesn't he know that enemies are waiting on the other side of the river?!>Now is not the time to be so calm![The ninth day of September in the lunar calendar is called Chōyō no Sekku. The typical flowers of this occasion are chrysanthemums.]>...>So this is the armor of Lord Nobunaga...>Do you want to try and wear it, brat?>Eh?!>Eh...>I don't understand at all what men feel when they kill each other!
>Then try to wear it! It's not so bad to know the feelings of men who love wars!>Eeh?!>Oooh!>Oh! So it's not true that the clothes don't make the monk!>Eh eh...>Well, if I wear this armor, I probably won't die in vain...>Cough!>Oh?!>Uhm...>Oh...>Cough!>Ok, it looks great!>Eh?!
>Aah!>I found a shady individual!>He must be the imitator of Lord Nobunaga!>Damn you!>Ah?!>Wh-what?!>Ouch!>Ooh! But that's...>That's really...>Aah! What does he intend to do?![Sassa's central army camp]
>Ah?!>Oh, but that one is...>Colleague, you were really clever!>Our Lord wants to see you...you know it's a truly exceptional case to meet him in person?>W-what?>Does he realizes that we are right in the middle of the enemy camp?!>I don't want to die like a dog!>Urgh!>Eh?>Everything's fine!>But our Lord is really proud of you!>Because you know, he's the first admirer of Lord Nobunaga!>Hey, from here I can go on alone!>Oh!>Very well.
>I have to say goodbye. It's time to switch shifts with my colleague!>Then it's you...>...that daredevil who dresses up as Lord Nobunaga?!>Iiih! No...I'm not...
>>268170510Its honestly rare to think of action protagonists with spears.
>How dare you dishonor the name of Lord Nobunaga?! I have a great debt of gratitude to him! Your conduct is unforgivable!>Show your shameful face!>Mh?>I-I'm not...I'm not...>But he's just a brat...>Urgh!>I absolutely can't forgive you!>I will decapitate you immediately!>Iiih!>S-Sir Keiji!>Help me, I beg you!>Ke-Keiji?>Sigh, you give me much to do!
>Ugh...you're Keiji Maeda!>How?!>W-what did you come here to do?!>When an enemy introduces himself in an adversary's camp...>...his only objective is to kill the commander!>Uh...>Do you think you can do it?
>I'll try!>Aaargh!>Urgh!
>Aaah![Keiji later called his sword technique Kokuzoin Ittoryu, but only to laugh about it. His techniques were too improvised to be learned in school.][The speed and strength he was able to impart to his blade were his only techniques. His sword and spear were like wild animals, capable of destroying even enemy armor.]
>D-damn it! He was able to defeat my strongest warriors in an instant! He...he's a true monster!>Tsk!
>Once you kill me...>...do you believe you can escape from my camp?!>I'll try this too!>Ugh...>Alright then! Take this head and you will pass on your deeds forever!>Ah!>What horrible wounds!>Eh eh eh...>I've fought so many battles...that my life as a samurai seemed like a long dream...>Lord Nobunaga...>...now I'll join you!
>...>Hurry! The other soldiers will arrive in a bit!>Wait!>I have a favor to ask of you!>Tell me...>Permit me to wash my face!>I'd look bad as a samurai if I died with grit in my eyes!>Eh eh eh!>So you're afraid of death?!>Urgh!>Bring me that barrel of sake!
>...>Eeh?!>Sigh...sob...but why...?>Why didn't Lord Nobunaga take me with him to the other world?>Argh!
>It was him that made me dream! He made me dream of our government, of our world!>That's why I admired him! I fought across every battlefield with all my might! It was with him that I wanted to dominate this world! Only with him, and no one else!>Oh, now I feel better!>I don't want to live under the rule of that monkey Hideyoshi!>Come on, kill me, Keiji!>Hey...>Mh?!>Keiji...you're a true man...
>I don't understand you at all! How come you didn't kill him?!>...>H-hey, but...>What happened? That brat wasn't taken by...>Did you also intend to kill Narimasa?>Eh?! But what's on your mind?>How come there weren't any guards around his tent? Eh?>Who else can do something like that but you?>Hey, what are you saying?!>Hone! Do you also work for the Tokugawa family?!>W-wait a moment! Aren't the Tokugawa family on Narimasa's side?>The Tokugawa family doesn't have the intention to fight seriously against Hideyoshi! Therefore Narimasa is an obstacle for them!>Impossible!>Eh eh eh...
>Iiih!>Eh eh eh...>Very well, I surrender, Sir...>Aaah! Who the hell is he?!>Listen! Leave Narimasa alone, or I'll kill you!>In him I saw the truth of being a warrior!>Our war will end on a battlefield, and definitely not now!
