Oda Nobuna no Yabou - Volume 6 - Chapter 1

Chapter 1 : Sagara Yoshiharu, Becoming the Harem's King 

My name is Sagara Yoshiharu. 

I'm just a normal high school student who loves Sengoku games, but one day, when I came to my senses, I was in Sengoku Era Japan, right in the middle of a battlefield. 

Thankfully, I was saved by Kinoshita Tokichirou, the future Toyotomi Hideyoshi who would rule the world. But who would have thought that Tokichirou-jii-san would eat an arquebus bullet and die on the spot. 

What the hell is this? If Toyotomi Hideyoshi died when he was still a nameless peon, wouldn't the whole history of Japan be rewritten!? If the Sengoku Era never ends, what will this country become? To stop history from dismantling, I would become this jii-san's substitute! 

So, I swore an oath to him. 

I, Sagara Yoshiharu, in place of Tokichirou-jii-san will become independent in this Sengoku Era, become a master of a province and, after that, become extremely popular and build a harem! I must become the king of a harem! 

.....Eh, Eh? 

Didn't something sound wrong? No no, you must have misheard me. If one were to talk about Toyotomi Hideyoshi, everyone would know they meant the great hero who loved girls in Japanese history. When Toyotomi Hideyoshi was still young and didn't hold much status, he was always called, "Saru! Saru!" by the noble girls and played around like a fool. So, when he obtained the world, he started gathering cute girls one by one from all of Japan and enjoyed the dreamlike harem life of his. That's the biggest reason that he was famous. But, he must have overdone it; it's pretty common for people like him die young. But, to have reached the pinnacle of playing with girls, as a man, he must have been satisfied and died without regrets. 

That honorable dream of Kinoshita Tokichirou, otherwise known as Toyotomi Hideyoshi, I will obviously be the one to succeed it. 

So, even if Sagara Yoshiharu was, say, in the palace of Osaka and sitting in a throne imported from the namban, being served by hundreds of girls wearing nekomimi maid outfits, there would be totally, totally no problem with it! 

My real name is Sagara Yoshiharu, but in Osaka, I'm called the "Namban soccer god", and I am an extremely popular bastard admired by tens of thousands of cute girls! 

Yes, just like this, I had finally fulfilled the promise with Tokichirou-jii-san! 

It's... It's not like I'm sacrificing myself for Nobuna or something, that's why I said, IT'S NOT LIKE THAT! 

These girls keep saying that they don't want me to go, and there's... there's no helping it, so I have to reluctantly become the king of the harem! 

"Yoshiharu-sama, I want to be your concubine~nya." 

"It's cheating to just have Hotaru! Suzume wants to be your concubine too! I want to give birth to Yoshiharu-sama's babies~nya." 

"ME TOO~!" 

The extremely popular harem king's morning begins with me being served like this by a hundred nekomimi ladies in maid outfits, all of them crying "Please bless me, please bless me", "Please let my soccer skills become better" and worshipping me while they touch my head. These hundred bishoujos, who were strictly chosen from tens of thousands of girls, had all been totally mesmerized by me... Wait, this is probably going to be a dream in the end... Is this really the sort of stuff I imagine? Wait a minute! This is real! It isn't a dream! Eh? Why did things become like this? If I don't recall it slowly, things will probably get really mixed up. 

"Ahahahaha. Yoshiharu-san, there are delicious takoyaki for breakfast once you wake up too! How's zat. Should I feed ya? Ah.... Open your mouth... Ah..." [1] 

Oh my god. Magoichi-nee-san is wearing a extremely revealing maid outfit, almost to the point of being lewd. Half of that tender butt of hers can be seen, and it's getting closer! 

Saika Magoichi-nee-san is quite an alluring beauty from Kii, and is an extremely cheerful person. Just by seeing her, I can't help but smile. 

"Oioi, it's about time you answer me, ya? Take me as your wife and I will do good things with you every night." With such seductive words, Magoichi-nee-san starts getting nearer, turning her unstoppable charm up to eleven. "No no, this is troubling", when I start stuttering and trying to brush off her advances, her mood sours instantly. 

"Because you let a maiden become embarrassed! Eat the butt if you have to!" [2] 

She shoved her Yatagarasu's barrel into my mouth; such an active personality is quite dangerous. Even when I became a harem's king, I had not planned to decide on my wife, but her expression is too scary. I might really break down and marry her if this is the alternative. If I continue rejecting, I may really be killed. Just when I'm starting to hesitate, my mind snapped to an image of Nobuna's face, yelling "Saru! You! HOW DARE YOU BETRAY ME AND GO TO THAT WOMAN'S SIDE!" as she cut off all ties and transformed into the sixth demon lord.... Uhhh, my chest feels terrible. 

"Yoshiharu-san. If you have any troubles, please use my breasts to calm yourself down. Come, help yourself." 

Once I'm troubled, Louis Frois in her nekomimi maid attire always puts on a goddess smile and sighs, "Men sure have it the rough" as she hugs my head into her bosom. Thank you, but my troubles are only going deeper and deeper. 

"Eh.... Missionary, what are you doing? You, could you not do lewd acts to my Yoshiharu?" 

"Oh? This isn't lewd. I'm just curing Yoshiharu-san of his troubles." 

"Are you an idiot? It's fine if it's a kid, but how can breasts alone cure the troubles of a young guy? The only thing that can help mature men are women's butts! How's zat, Yoshiharu, wanna leap onto my butt?" 

"I think if Magoichi-nee-san's behavior were a little more feminine, you would definitely be popular." 

"Really!? Ahhahahahahaha!" 

I'm too popular lately. Not only has Magoichi-nee-san been serving me everyday, even the holy maiden Frois-chan has become my exclusive maid now. The deep sympathy Frois-chan has for me, wanting to cure my longing to return to Nobuna's side, has troubled me....! I have fulfilled my dream, yet my heart still feels very uneasy. 

The time of the destruction of this frivolous persona is drawing nearer. 

It's like this. 

The letter from Nobuna, who had heard of me becoming king of a harem, had finally reached my hands. 

Though I want to open it up, honestly, I'm too afraid; I just can't gather up the courage to look at the contents. But, I can guess vaguely what the contents are. I have been living too carefree. That fellow should be summoning me back and then cutting off my head. But in contrast, if I don't go back obediently, if I shut myself in, I may get BBQ-ed by everyone. 

The situation is like this. I had kissed Nobuna during the night of Christmas, and now I'm here by myself having a harem in Osaka! As per common logic, this is a revolt. I had even stolen Nobuna's heart. 

It will be weird if she didn't get angry. 

"This is to save Nobuna, please understand a little." 

What should I do? How will things go from here? Sagara Yoshiharu. 

Ahh, really, just why, why had things become like this? 

It's like this. The start of this whole fiasco could be traced back to a month before.....
