Non-Honmaru Inner Honwan [Comprehensive]

I don't know if Asai Nagamasa is a good person, but it is very rare that he is willing to send Ashi back to the Oda family at this time.

In this chaotic era, marriage is just a means.Even if Ashi is indeed so beautiful that no one can match, it can't change that she married into Asai's family because of the political inclination of Oda and Asai's alliance in the first place.Afterwards, the alliance broke down, and Aichi still stayed here, and Nagamasa Asai was under a lot of pressure for this.Now at the last moment of death, he arbitrarily chooses to send the woman he loves away.

For Asai Nagamasa, who has been unconsciously condoning Ashi's actions, this is probably the first and last time he completely ignored his wife's wishes and arranged everything as the governor of the Asai family.

However, even if he didn't get a positive answer from Aichi, Asai Nagamasa knew that his wife must want to go back to the Oda family.

Because the man who raised her and influenced her entire personality—Oda Nobunaga was there.

Even in Asai's house, Ashi often said that "brother is more interesting", not to mention that after Empress Kanezaki passed away, Ashi wanted to stay in Asai, and also wanted to restore the alliance between the two families, so that "Master Nagamasa bowed his head to his brother."

Such an outstanding beauty like Ashi, as expected, the only one who can be watched by her is the final victor

Even though Asai Nagamasa is very appreciative of Oda Nobunaga's luck and intelligence, when Aichi keeps saying this, he still feels a little bit unwilling.

"Has the Oda family arrived yet..."

Confirming this again with his valet, Asai Nagamasa said so with his back to the candlelight.

"Then, Ashi and Chacha have already gone to the main camp of the Oda family."

No matter how hard he tried, it was difficult to win her favor.But no matter how hard it is to win her favor, I still feel satisfied when I see her smile.

As a loser, the Asai family is no longer suitable to be the princess' birdcage.This matter is really regrettable... and fortunately, this unique bird in the world has a place to live besides here, so it will not fall into the situation of Nong Ji (Guidie), who has nowhere except her husband's house returnable.

"Well, Chacha and the others have already sent it to my brother."

The answer to Asai Nagamasa was not the voice of his familiar valet, but another voice he was also familiar with, with the lightness of a girl.replied frankly.

"So I'm back."

"Ashi!" Asai Nagamasa suddenly raised his head and looked towards the side that made the sound—as expected, his valet was squeezed in, and the woman standing at the door was the same as before, but not in line with the usual behavior of Sengoku princesses. , standing with her back straight, her unpainted face becoming more and more charming under the candlelight.

He asked in disbelief: "...you, didn't you go to see Nobunaga or... no, even if I surrender to Nobunaga now, he can't accept...do you understand?"

"I understand." Ah Shi replied calmly.

She always has such a posture. Compared with her beautiful face like a lotus, when she is not smiling, she often has a kind of calmness - so that she is close to the illusion of indifference.

"I don't expect my brother and Master Changzheng to coexist peacefully. When I sent Chacha, Ah Chu and Jiang, I saw my brother—he is still the same as before. From now on, he will work hard to win the world and complete his mission. wish."

"Then you, why..."

"So, Ah Shi feels that he is already very satisfied."

Under the candlelight, the gorgeous beauty narrated like this.

"I have no regrets to see my brother again. Is Master Nagamasa preparing to die?"

For such a question, Asai Nagamasa felt quite at ease for some reason.He stared deeply at Ah Shi's face, and replied with a smile: "Yes. I intend to commit seppuku here before the city falls."

Ah Shi seemed to be simply asking a question.After getting the answer, she didn't even hesitate for a moment, and asked with the righteousness unique to a beauty.

"Then, Lord Changzheng please take me into the underworld."

After hearing such words, Asai Nagamasa's stable heart suddenly beat violently again.

"I'm planning to cut seppuku—are you saying that to make me kill you with my own hands? No, or after me...I mean, why are you...going to do this"

Even when he was swinging the weapon, his hands were steady and trembling uncontrollably at this moment, he couldn't believe it, and asked with secret hope.

"Besides your brother...do you also have me in your heart?"

After blurting out the question that had been hidden for many years, Asai Nagamasa looked at Ashi's surprised and open eyes, and suddenly felt that he did not need an affirmative answer.

In other words, he already understood the answer at this moment, but it was because the answer was too tempting that he could never get it.

"Already, no need."

Before Ashi opened his mouth, Asai Nagamasa said.

"I won't let you see my death, and I won't let you raise a knife to kill yourself. Even I can't end your life here with my own hands."

To be able to die with the one you love is an unbelievably wonderful dream for Asai Nagamasa.Precisely because he has seen through that his only future is to die, Ah Shi's request is difficult for him to control, and he is about to agree immediately.

If there really is a kingdom of heaven in the world, wouldn't it be the happiest thing in the world to be able to walk in with the woman you really love without even being separated for a moment! !

However, this alone cannot be done.

When he didn't feel that he was loved by Ah Shi, he couldn't bear to deprive Ah Shi of his life.After vaguely getting a heart-warming answer, how could he really swing the blade at Ah Shi.

"It's just like what you said, 'I am satisfied because I met Nobunaga'. I am also very satisfied to see you here for the last time."

He touched Ah Shi's face for the last time.On the woman's delicate face, his callused hands seemed to be able to scratch her face with a little force.A slight touch can't make the skin below the cocoon feel the touch of Ashi's face, but such a gentle touch has already satisfied Asai Nagamasa very much.

Under the light of the candlelight, his gentle eyes seemed to glow with a layer of water, and the emotion for Ah Shi contained in them was always so tender that it was unbelievable that it almost made people cry.

"Seppuku is the glory of a samurai. I'm the only one who dies in the end—take our daughter and return to Oda Nobunaga's side. Then, continue to live there...Only you must live on .”

"You are willing to be with me all the time...I really, really appreciate it. Ashi."

Asai Hisamasa had already apologized for his seppuku when the Kyogoku Maru fell into the city, and now it is time for Asai Nagamasa to do his seppuku.

The last Honmaru has not been captured by the Oda family, but he has already decided to die.

……

When Ashi finally stepped into the main line of the Oda family on Mount Huyuqian, her two daughters who had learned to walk immediately surrounded her.

She had seen three children who were almost identical to her one by one, whether it was Chacha whose personality was similar to hers, or the shy Ah Chu, or Jiang who was still being hugged by a maid and sleeping soundly in his swaddling infant.After seeing the fair and tender faces of her daughters, she just said again with certainty:

"Sure enough. No matter which one it is, it looks like Nagamasa-sama."

In the darkness, nothing unusual could be seen in her dress.Only when she was very close to the torch could she see the large blood stains on the corner of her skirt.

The blood didn't seem to be splashed because of getting close, but it seemed to have stayed in the bloody place for a long time. After the cloth was full of blood, it began to spread upward from one corner, and only then did such round-edged blood clots print on the skirt.

"Hey, Ah Shi is back."

Her elder brother Oda Nobunaga didn't show much surprise, but the pure joy on his face was still the same as before she got married, not even his appearance changed with the passage of time.Only when she looked at her and turned to Xiaogucheng, the side face illuminated by the fire showed the coldness and sharpness of a superior that she was not familiar with.

"It looks like nothing happened—then don't worry about it, you can attack this Honmaru with all your might."

The nervous governor of the Oda family couldn't see the bright blood on the corner of Ashi's skirt, but he looked quite similar to him, and the former mistress of the Asai family was not indifferent to his words.

"Don't worry anymore, brother." Her ending was slightly trembling, but against the noisy background sound, her voice seemed to be incredibly calm, almost close to the description of a heart of stone, "Master Changzheng has already committed seppuku."

"Eh"

"I didn't witness it with my own eyes. But Nagamasa-sama's blood flowed out from the crack in the door. If that's the case, will my brother's actions be smoother?"

"Well—it should be."

"Then... that's fine."

Ah Shi opened her beautiful eyes, tears rolling down unexpectedly.From the cheeks to the neck and then into the collar, the tears fell so quickly that even Saburo, who was looking down at Ashi, couldn't see clearly.Her eyes sparkled, but she didn't continue to shed tears when she looked at Saburo stubbornly.

She just stood there with her back straight as always.

"I already--"

There are no other important people.

On August 1573, 8, all of Otani Castle fell into the hands of Oda Nobunaga.Asai Hisamasa committed seppuku when the Kyogoku Maru fell. Asai Nagamasa was only one day later than his father, and after thanking his retainers for his contribution to defending the castle, he dismissed the last retainers. , so that they could escape, and then commit seppuku.

At this time, Asai Nagamasa was only 28 years old.After his suicide, the Asai family was officially declared dead.

However, in any case, the successive demise of the Asakura family and the Asai family meant that the net that threatened Saburo was completely torn apart.Echizen, which was ruled by Asakura, and Otani Castle, which was not part of Oda's territory at the end of Omi, also fell into the hands of the Oda family!

After that, Saburo went to Ise to march.After capturing enemy castles around Nagashima there, on October 10, the Oda Army finally began to retreat.

About this chapter—well, it was influenced by comics, and I always feel that such a touching love cannot be ignored, but I didn’t read it at all when I wrote it.When I read the manga later, I think it is more touching than what I wrote...

……Um.

In the comics, Nagamasa Asai had a final fight with Saburo after sending away Ashi, but according to the information I checked, Nagamasa Asai committed seppuku after sending away his wife and daughter.What is written here is that Ashi didn't leave in time after sending Ashi away, and left after watching Asai Nagamasa's seppuku through the door.

In history, Asai Nagamasa seems to have indeed told Ashi to live.And in history, Asai Nagamasa had sons, regardless of whether they were born in Oshi, they basically died in the end, and only the youngest son was sent to the temple to become a monk.

Next...it's time for Saburo to feel the fright.

And the first phase brother and Sanriyue can also be pulled out, although I haven't forged Sanriyue yet...

Thanks Mr. S for throwing mines!mwah!Thanks to jojo for throwing mines, huh!
