Chapter 69

Compared to most areas of Honmaru that were about to fall into chaos because of the two Nobunaga Lords, the central area where the castle tower was located had always been a place where almost no one went - generally speaking, except for the attendants of the day and the guests specially invited by the watchman, no one else would come to disturb.

Today, the Watcher was the only one left in the castle tower. Lancermello had left the castle tower after the conversation last night, and did not return to the castle tower today to continue their previous topic. Instead, he and other Chaldea members were admiring the different scenery in the main castle.

Time goes back to not long ago - the Watcher had just finished arranging the troops for deployment according to the new schedule issued by the Government of Time. When he saw Rando Shiro, who was serving as his attendant today, leave, another drooping purple-haired dagger passed by him and walked towards the Watcher, then stopped outside the door.

"My Lord." The purple-haired short sword stopped outside the door and said, "Who was the servant who had a drinking contest with me on the first night? And, my Lord knows that I haven't let myself get drunk for a long, long time. Besides, for the sword men, what is important is to protect history, the current lord... not the previous lord."

"Come in and sit down, Budong." The watchman invited Budong Xingguang to step into the castle tower while reaching out to tear off a document from the desk behind him. "From your tone, did you lie in the hand-entry room for a whole day before waking up? If so, it's just unfortunate."

"Yes, I was lying in the pharmaceutical research institute until today, but, unfortunately..." Fudo Xingguang sat down in front of the watcher and watched the watcher casually push the paper documents issued by the Time Government to the ground, "Why do you say it's an unfortunate thing, my lord? This time I just--"

"I know what you're going to say, Budong." The Watcher pulled out the Time Government Technology screen to check the reactions of the Inquisitors to the monthly schedule, while interrupting Budong's words, "But I'm actually very happy that you were able to drink with the Servant that night and get drunk - after all, no matter from which angle you look at it, you would only suggest drinking if you and him were very compatible in the conversation?"

"Haha, after all, when Oda Nobunaga praised you in the past, he was drunk."

——Unmoving light, ninety-nine shots, Goro is sitting behind on the left.

"I won't punish you just because you were drunk for a day. Besides, apart from the incident with Yamaubakiri and Nagayoshi, I haven't done anything to you, right?" The Watcher turned his eyes away from the Inquisitor Forum and looked at Fudo Yukimitsu who was sitting opposite with his head lowered. "And, I said it was unfortunate only because that person happened to have been sent back by Chaldea."

"The only servants left in Honmaru now are probably the former masters of the swordsmen themselves - and the one drinking with you is Oda Nobukatsu." Considering that most of the swords in Honmaru that belonged to Oda Nobunaga came to him after Oda Nobukatsu's death, the watcher gently supplemented Fudo Yukimitsu with a more understandable explanation, "It was the younger brother who was killed by Oda Nobunaga."

"He was the man who had attempted two rebellions and failed both times. He was spared the first time due to the plea of ​​his mother, Tsuchida Yasumasa, but was ruthlessly killed by Lord Nobunaga the second time."

The death of Oda Nobukatsu was undoubtedly the starting point of Oda Nobunaga's journey to becoming a demon king. After all, even Japanese magicians only knew that Oda Nobukatsu was killed by Oda Nobunaga after two rebellions. However, no matter which world Chaldea is in, it has learned countless unknown information about the Servants thanks to the affinity of the Lord of the Rings, Fujimaru Ritsuka.

For example, Oda Nobukatsu was actually a fanatic about Nobunaga's cooking.

The Watcher flipped through the Servant data in his hand with a subtle expression, handed one page to the obviously confused Fudo Yukimitsu, and added for him - "The Oda Nobunaga I know is a woman like the one in Phoenix Chaldea, but it is said that there is also a male Nobunaga from their parallel world in Phoenix Chaldea who has entered the Honmaru."

——I hope Budongxingguang won’t be scared by this content.

The Watcher prayed this from the bottom of his heart.

When Budong Xingguang took the page, he was shocked by the content on it - it was clearly printed in black and white, but it exuded a kind of crazy aura as if it was written in blood.

The title of this page is "Oda Nobukatsu·Personal Information 6", so I looked down without moving my eyes, and saw that every paragraph had the same opening sentence - "Onee-sama is very powerful!"

The same opening appears over and over again on this page, and the following content gradually advances along with the time of Oda Nobukatsu - from his childhood until he was killed on the order of Oda Nobunaga.

"——Onee-sama, thank you so much!"

After reading the last sentence, Fudo Yukimitsu finally felt a chill that made his hair stand on end - rather than saying that Oda Nobukatsu was a fanatical Nobunaga chef, it would be better to say that he was already a fanatic believer of Oda Nobunaga. As early as when he was rescued by his sister in his childhood, this guy had already become a fanatic believer of Oda Nobunaga.

Although Fudo Yukimitsu knew that there were almost no swordsmen in Honmaru who would praise Oda Nobunaga except him, Fudo Yukimitsu felt an uncontrollable fear of Oda Nobukatsu's information at this time - he even began to suspect that the other Nobunaga guilds that Fudo Yukimitsu met during the training arranged by the government for other Honmaru saw through them, and it was ultimately because of what Oda Nobukatsu had done.

——Oda Nobukatsu gathered the disgruntled elements in his family and launched two rebellions in order to make his sister the overlord.

- He paid the price of his own life to pave the way for his sister Oda Nobunaga to become a demon king, and cleared the initial obstacles on his sister's path forward.

"Sacrificing your present self for the sake of your lost past, what's the fun in that?"

——This is a point that Oda Nobunaga pointed out to the other Honmaru's Fudo Gyōmitsu during their training.

And now, Fudo Yukimitsu clearly realized the hidden meaning in Oda Nobunaga's words - Oda Nobunaga remained calm when he was burned in the raging fire in Honnoji Temple, and was even in the same state of mind as usual, with an attitude of "since this is the case, there is nothing that can be done about it"; Oda Nobunaga, who has become the Demon King, no longer has the qualifications to reminisce about the past, and even if he is about to die, he will only leave the future to those who have survived his death.

——Oda Nobunaga will not give up his present self because of the lost past.

"Have you thought it through?" The Watcher tilted her head and saw Fudo Yukihiro push the page back in front of her. "Then I'm going to give you a task next. Yakuin is leading the team to go out to the underground of Osaka Castle, so the two Lords Nobunaga who he had been dealing with before might take advantage of this time to do something."

"Yakuken may hand them over to Kadokidaikiri, but Kadokidaikiri will definitely not be able to stop them - so I need you to find them before they really destroy Honmaru." The Watcher knocked on the table and looked at Fudo Yukimitsu who was sitting opposite him. "If possible, let them meet with Hasebe and Souzo."

"It's better to have a formal meeting than an unexpected one - I don't expect them to be able to control their emotions in front of the two Nobunagas."

Fudo Yukimitsu, who accepted the arrangement from the Watcher, had just walked out of the central area where the castle tower was located when he found that almost all the swordsmen in the Honmaru and all the members of Chaldea were looking for something everywhere. Fudo Yukimitsu thought of the task assigned to him by the Watcher, suppressed the ominous premonition in his heart, and walked towards the members of the Oda Group.

"Budo!" It was obvious that Kadakiri Mitada stayed here to wait for Fudo Yukimitsu. The moment he noticed Fudo Yukimitsu, he called out the name of the short sword, "Have you finished talking to the lord?"

"It's over, Kadokidaikiri." Fudo Yukioka walked a few steps to Kadokidaikiri Mitsutada and asked the sword master what happened outside the castle tower. "What happened now? Why are so many people moving?"

"The two Lords Nobunaga that Yaken asked me to take disappeared while I was talking to Kosada and the others." Kadakiri Mitsutada sighed tiredly and looked at the distant forest. "I originally wanted to take them to see Mr. Tsuru first, but I didn't expect that Mr. Tsuru was not in the dormitory - and I just learned from Sanjo that Mr. Tsuru went to the mountains..."

——The bad premonition came true.

Budong Xingguang also sighed heavily.

"So, we are looking for the two Nobunaga-samas now?" Fudo Yukimitsu glanced at the people running around, then looked up at Candakiri Mitsutada, "I think we should prioritize making sure Souzo and Hasebe don't meet them? If they meet unexpectedly under such circumstances..."

"Even if Honmaru is not demolished, if Yaken comes back and knows what happened... he will explode." Cangdaikiri Mitsutada looked tiredly at the lilies blooming in the garden today, and soon understood Fudo Yukimitsu's unfinished intentions, "What are you going to do? My lord... you are not going to hand over the two Nobunaga to you, are you!?"

"...That's it, Kadokiri." Fudo Yukio looked at the lilies in front of him that were as colorful as the attendants today, patted his clothes and gritted his teeth, "And the lord told me that you can't stop them - I thought I didn't have to start thinking about the two Nobunagas as soon as I left the castle tower!!!"

"That's really embarrassing." Kadakiri Mitsutada sighed helplessly and reached out to touch the head of the motionless Yukimitsu. "Anyway, we have to find a way to solve this matter before Yakuin comes back - you go find the two Nobunaga Lords, and I'll find Souzo and Hasebe... Let's try to reduce the possibility of them meeting as much as possible."

"Aren't there so many people looking for them?" Fudo Yukimitsu raised his eyebrows and watched Takakiri Mitsutada walk to the other side. "They will be found soon, right?"

"I just thought that since the lord has entrusted the matter of the two Nobunagas to you, you will definitely find them earlier than anyone else." Cangdaikiri Mitsutada turned around and smiled at Fudo Yukimitsu who was standing there. "Anyway, I'll leave those two to you, Fudo."

"Oh, leave it to me."
