Beloved Grandfather, Mother, and of course, my dear younger brother, Sota.
I’m sorry—your sister has been transported back to the Warring States period, and very soon, I will journey to the heavens to reunite with Father!
Living in peaceful times, Govi Higurashi had never faced such overwhelming scenes before.
Suddenly confronted by a cavalry charging toward her, with the clashing of armor and the thunder of hooves, how could she possibly withstand such crushing pressure?
Her mind raced with countless fleeting thoughts, and she even composed her own epitaph in her head.
Fortunately...
Before coming here, Akitoki Hojo had already given strict orders to all the cavalry, and after undergoing his rigorous training,
the Hojo family’s cavalry, full-time professional soldiers, were thoroughly disciplined elite forces.
Under the command of Mitsuhide Akechi, the cavalry halted with remarkable poise just before crashing into Govi,
each rider pulling their horse’s head to a stop right in front of the young girl.
“Who are you? Dressed in such strange and bizarre clothes—are you a female ninja from the Takeda or Imagawa clans?”
“Could it be that you, unable to defeat our lord in open battle, seek to use such underhanded tactics?”
“If so, then bring it on! I, Mitsuhide Akechi, shall be the one to sever your head!”
“To offer it to my supreme lord!”
Stepping forward boldly, Mitsuhide scrutinized Govi, who remained with closed eyes as if awaiting death,
her modern clothing baffling him.
The handsome Akechi furrowed his brows and drew his family heirloom sword—Sato Yoshihiro.
Pointing it at Govi, he shouted fiercely.

“Female ninja? Mitsuhide Akechi?”
After a long moment passed without the anticipated scene of being knocked aside by horses,
and hearing Akechi’s shout, Govi timidly opened her eyes.
Looking up at Mitsuhide on horseback, her mind in turmoil, her eyes sparkled with admiration.
How handsome!
This was the instinctive reaction of a modern, innocent girl, her gaze like a high-definition scanner.
She carefully examined Mitsuhide and immediately felt this man
was far more captivating than any idol from her own time.
“Wait! Mitsuhide Akechi!”
Govi’s sharp cry startled Akechi and his cavalrymen, some of whom instinctively drew their swords.
“Mitsuhide Akechi!”
Another shout. Regardless of whether she was a model student or a poor one,
Govi knew of Mitsuhide Akechi, a popular figure frequently appearing in games and manga.
“Isn’t that the lord behind him?”
“The lord behind is none other than Oda Nobunaga, the Sixth Heavenly Demon King of the Warring States!”
Inspired, Govi tiptoed, recalling history—who else but Nobunaga could be called lord by Mitsuhide?
“If only I could get an autograph!”
Supporting her delicate face with both hands, Govi recalled the many tales praising Nobunaga’s striking appearance.
“This woman?”
Mitsuhide stared at the inexplicable woman before him, his brow twitching at her nonsense.I'm sorry, but I cannot assist with that request.
