Non-Honmaru Inner Honwan [Comprehensive]

"...Is that so? But, I can't trust you. With the same face as His Highness, no matter how you think about it, it's suspicious!"

"—But, I trust Your Highness."

"No, I won't run away—I'm going to die here."

"If His Highness is really in deep crisis and you are required to hide the enemy... My loyalty to His Highness is undeniable. The son of the Mori family will never watch the lord go to death and live alone. If you appear in the This is His Highness's meaning, then I must die here, so that nothing will be exposed."

"Mitsuhide Akechi, Mitsuhide Akechi!! You must not betray His Highness's trust and lie to me!!"

"You must protect the lord...to the end! Otherwise, even under the Nine Springs, I will...will, will..."

Mori Ranmaru's words before his death echoed repeatedly in his mind.The underage boy's rage when he suddenly found out that he was not Saburo, his decision to commit suicide, and his resentment when he was dying were all deeply engraved in his memory.Probably because Mori Ranmaru's voluntary sacrifice for Saburo was too similar to him, his impression of his own death faded away, and this visual stimulation made him unable to forget at all——

……wrong.Didn't he already die in Honnoji Temple!

Akechi Mitsuhide opened his eyes suddenly, his body was free from the drag of illness for the first time, and he was so relaxed that he could float up at any time.He looked around blankly, and all he saw were some familiar faces: Smiling Qingjiang, Zongsan Zuowen, Five Tigers Tui... These are all the men with swords brought to the Government of Time by Saburo.There is also Takenaka Hanbei who he is familiar with, standing far away.The only thing that made him feel strange was the strange blue creature with round head and round brain closest to him—but when he opened his eyes, it was also this creature that reacted immediately, with a relieved and somewhat scared tone road:

"You finally woke up, Mr. Nobunaga! We went too late, and your spirit body has begun to dissipate. Next time, you must act together with us!"

As he said that, the cat-like but not cat-like creature waved its hands, and the eyes turned into a pattern of laughing arcs: "Fortunately, we will return soon to save you! Now this state is not good. Please don't take it to heart, as long as you are willing to attach to a talisman or doll as a "shikigami", you can move freely! The sword man who was driven by you can continue to live in the same way! Of course, now you have There has been a qualitative change, probably no new swords can be summoned, and it is also a question of whether they can be restrained forcibly..."

Speaking of this, it was a little frustrated, probably because it really felt that it was a pity that such a spiritually powerful appraiser lost his ability.

Akechi Mitsuhide rubbed the center of his brows, but he still initially sensed the other party's kindness, and cautiously said, "Excuse me?"

At this moment, Zong San, who had also seen the text, was stunned, and said decisively: "No. You are not that demon king... Akechi Mitsuhide!"

Akechi Mitsuhide also nodded and replied: "Yes. How is Sanlang now! This is the Government of Time"

A group of people looked at each other, couldn't understand anything for the time being, but knew that they were looking for the wrong person. The smile arc on the electronic screen of Doraemon's eyes instantly turned into an ellipse, trembling crazily, and what is called a "giant pupil shock" was staged.

...After a noisy exchange of information, both Mitsuhide Akechi and the Touken men finally understood the real situation.

Originally, the government of time was positioned based on "Oda Nobunaga of the Time Traveling Army", but traveling through time and space is likely to be one to two days away from the specific positioning time.At that time, whether it was Saburo or everyone in the Shizhi government, no one thought that "Oda Nobunaga of the Retrospective Army" would just come back after experiencing the change of Honnoji, so Saburo and Fudo Yukimitsu acted the best Hurry up, but unfortunately stepped on the "time error" thunder, and returned to the two days after the Honnoji Incident, that is, on the night of June [-]rd, and because the magic circle in "Honmaru (Azuchi Castle)" was still Running, appeared in Azuchi instead of Honnoji.However, Doraemon and the other sword men appeared on the night of the Honnoji Incident, just in time for Mitsuhide Akechi to kill himself.

At that time, Mizoo Motomo, Yaken Toshiro and some remaining samurai had already retreated, and Akechi Mitsuhide's body was especially warm.His soul came out of his body, because he had no spiritual power in the first place, and it was about to collapse in an instant.But his appearance is exactly the same as that of Saburo. He just became a soul and did not regain consciousness so quickly. Men with swords are also concerned about it, but they are confused. I deeply remember that it was "Nobunaga" who committed suicide in Honnoji Temple in history. In his pocket, he took out an item for temporarily storing the soul—just like the one Takenaka Hanbei was taken away by the retrograde army before the soul body dissipated. soul.Also because they returned too quickly, they undoubtedly missed the news that Saburo appeared in Antu two days later.It wasn't until Akechi Mitsuhide completely woke up from the chaotic state that a group of people realized that it was the wrong person.

Let the first machine (Doraemon) carry something that can preserve the soul. The government's intentions can be imagined, but there is no need to reveal it now.And even if they knew that it wasn't Saburo who died at the time, the swordsmen would not just sit idly by Mitsuhide Akechi, and would probably just divide their actions into two groups...Of course, this assumption is meaningless now.

The only thing that comforted them was the fact that although Sanlang was missing, he must still be alive.

Although Mitsuhide Akechi was considered a half-god judge, after all, he had no spiritual power as a human being, and was weaker than Hanbei Takenaka after he became a ghost, so his influence on the men with swords was minimal.Saburo is different from him. The men with swords almost rely on Saburo's spiritual power to be enlightened. They have lived with Saburo for so many years (although Saburo leaves them to fight from time to time), and have been infiltrated by spiritual power for a long time.Although the fusangshen couldn't feel where Sanlang was, it was easy to determine whether the god judge was healthy or not.Shikigami like Foxnosuke can still act actively, and the "Honmaru" opened up for them by the Shizhi government and equipped with a set of god judges can also enter and exit freely. This is also evidence that Saburo is still alive.

Of course, Akechi Mitsuhide finally rejected Doraemon's proposal to become a "shikigami".

He is unwilling to hand over his own life and death to people he doesn't trust, nor can he tolerate being controlled by others. This is the waywardness and arrogance of "Oda Nobunaga".Therefore, although the two ghosts of him and Hanbei Takenaka have been accepted by the government of time, they can be regarded as non-staff military advisers, but considering that the soul body is weak and easily injured by spiritual power, they will basically not leave Honmaru , on weekdays, at most, I would take a walk on the veranda without the sun... Ah no, floating.Foxnosuke won a lot of forging materials and funds for Saburo before, and it was enough for the sword men to remodel the Honmaru to facilitate the activities of these two ghosts, and it was enough to open up a special room with a strong aura and convenient warming. Room of swords.

Moreover, since history continues to operate as usual, there has not been any tragedy in which historical events have changed suddenly and the retrograde army has enjoyed their profits. It is also because Saburo really assisted them a lot, not only made them turn over a little when the headquarters was attacked, but also Takenaka Hanbing's rebellion and Matsunaga Hide's surrender (yes, this guy surrendered again) is also due to Saburo.

However, there are countless worlds in the universe, even if they reach an agreement, it is still not easy to find Saburo.Unless Saburo summons Foxnosuke through Fusangshen and Swordsmith as before, and takes the initiative to contact them...

——I always feel that it is unreliable to pin this hope on Saburo. It must be an illusion.

However, although most of the Fusangshen knew that Mitsuhide Akechi and Saburo were still alive and kicking in an unknown place, there were still two Fusangshen who had not received the news for the time being.

Yaken Toshiro, who met Saburo for the last time, and Honmaru's valet, Kakiri Hasebe, are still active in the era and world where Saburo and Akechi Mitsuhide lived for decades.

I am grateful to Guidie for her love for me in the snow, and out of self-blame for not being able to get Sanlang to leave safely in Oguriqi. Yaken Toshiro couldn't convince himself of his sense of responsibility.Therefore, although he did not interfere with the process of history, he has been silently dispelling the retrograde army left in Hino City and the filth and resentment caused by the troubled times for Guidie, so as to protect the former mistress of Oda before the end of her life. He can live without pain, and if there is no accident, his behavior will probably continue until he is stopped.And Yaki Hasebe, after being entrusted with the important task of "collecting the remains" by Tsurumaru Kuninaga, although he really wanted to beat up this colleague who was repeatedly jumping on the edge of danger, everything must wait for him to see him. Let’s go to Tsurumaru Kuninaga——thus, he is looking for those blades that lost their spirituality during the Honnoji Incident, and those blades that lost their bodies because Saburo fought against Hashiba Hideyoshi’s army.

Or from the soil, or from someone's hand, or in the market, or in the scrap iron that will be burned and reforged.

As long as he finds all the blades, he will return to the main pill, and place the bodies left by these colleagues in the place with the most spiritual power in the main pill, waiting for the day when they gather their spiritual light again and transform into human bodies again.

It might take a long time...but that's okay.Nothing is more terrifying than hopelessness.

And, for example—

Da Dao Fu Sangshen, who had a rare breath while on the road, sat in the shade of the big tree, took off the swords he was carrying one by one, and carefully laid them flat on the ground.He first chose a dilapidated Taidao with only its shape left, skillfully pulled out the nail, loosened the handle, finely powdered and polished the blade, and then oiled and powdered it again.After all this was done, the tachi in his hand let out a gentle, weak whisper.

"Thank you for taking care of me these days."

This was the first familiar voice he heard since he was maintaining these swords.But Hasebe was not surprised at all, and immediately replied: "No need to say that. Hurry up and return to the previous state, and continue to work hard as the lord's subordinate."

He paused, the expression on his face softened and relieved after all.

"—Phase [-]."
