A samurai who doesn't want to be a daimyo is not a good onmyoji

Chapter 99 The Third Day

On the third day after Asai Nagamasa arrived at Kiyosu Castle, Koichiro came to report early in the morning, saying that he had finished handling all the matters and could immediately follow a caravan to Kotani Castle. Asai Nagamasa also solved the problem at hand. one thing.

In the afternoon, Keiji Maeda arrived on time again, and leaned on the old place to bask in the sun as usual.

Asai Nagamasa also basked in the sun next to him. This time he did not go empty-handed, but brought some sake. It was not that he liked it, but he had no other better choice.

And for his current physique, there is no difference between the concentration of this thing and the drink.

However, Maeda Keiji didn't seem to be in high spirits today. He didn't drink much, but he frequently looked in a certain direction, as if he was expecting something.

Asai Nagamasa couldn't help but smile, because he had already roughly guessed that something might happen.

Maeda Keiji was not just lying here stupidly. In fact, he had been looking in one direction, more specifically at the largest mansion in the city, which belonged to the Oda family.

He has always refused to become an official, so naturally he is not waiting for Oda Nobunaga. Then there is probably only one person in the entire Oda family who is worthy of him doing this.
However, he still found an excuse to talk: "Keiji-kun, why do you show up here at the same time every day?"

"I'm waiting for someone."

While speaking, Maeda Keiji's eyes were extremely bright, and he looked full of longing, which was completely different from him who seemed to care nothing about everything.

Asai Nagamasa couldn't help but smile secretly in his heart, and he became more and more certain of a certain guess in his mind.

However, he still asked knowingly: "Oh? To make Keiji-kun wait so willingly, he must be an extremely outstanding person, right? Could it be that he is an extremely outstanding samurai?"

Maeda Keiji couldn't help but sigh when he heard this: "No, she is a woman."

Asai Nagamasa immediately looked very shocked: "What? What kind of woman is it that can make Keiji-kun so attracted to her?"

Seeing Asai Nagamasa's deliberately pretended shock, but actually snickering at the corner of his mouth, Maeda Keiji couldn't help but roll his eyes at him angrily: "Humph, of course it's only Princess Aichi."

Asai Nagamasa suddenly understood. Sure enough, it was that Ashi.

Aichi, whose full name is Oda City, is the biological sister of Oda Nobunaga, the governor of the Oda family. The princess Maeda Keiji just mentioned does not refer to the emperor's daughter, but the honorific title given to the daimyo's daughter by retainers.

Although Aichi is still young, a few years younger than Asai Nagamasa, it is said that she is already very beautiful.

And because Aichi was less than 5 years old when their father contracted the disease and died, and there was an age difference of more than ten years between her and her brother Oda Nobunaga, so Oda Nobunaga almost raised this sister as his daughter. The Owari Oda family can be said to be extremely favored.

However, no matter how beautiful she is, Ah Shi seems to be only twelve or thirteen years old now. She can't even be called a woman at all, just a little girl.

Is it possible that Maeda Keiji is still a lolicon?

Well, this is not certain. In feudal society, most people got married very early, and it was common for people to marry and have children in their teens. Many ancient people preferred lolita.

After chatting for a few more words, Asai Nagamasa learned that although Aichi is still underage, he is smart, docile and cheerful, and more importantly, extremely beautiful.

As her age continued to grow, her beauty became more and more outstanding. Even from the last six months, every time she appeared in Qingzhou City, many young warriors rushed to go, and there were even several incidents of stampedes and fights. Just to get a glimpse of its true appearance.

So later on, Ah Shi gradually stopped appearing in public, because it could easily cause riots in the city.

But every once in a while, Princess Ashi will still go out for a walk. At that time, she will bring her own paper cranes, paper figures and other gadgets to play with the children in the city.

After all, she is just a teenage girl, and it is normal for her to like to play with children of the same age.

According to Maeda Keiji's estimation, Aichi should have come out in the past few days. If she really comes out, she will be able to see her immediately from this place, and she can be seen very clearly.

Seeing the other party's extremely serious look, Asai Nagamasa couldn't help but ask: "Keiji-kun, do you want to win Princess Ashi's favor?"

While speaking, Asai Nagamasa also sighed a little, because if the historical process is followed, Aichi, who was later known as the most beautiful woman in the world, would become his wife Asai Nagamasa.

However, when the demon gradually revived and when he came to this world, the future had already begun to undergo drastic changes, and he didn't know whether it would take that step.

Want to, or don't want to?

Faced with this extremely simple question, Maeda Keiji was stunned for a rare moment, but then he shook his head firmly.

"No, Nagamasa-kun, I don't want to, because I don't deserve it."

"Princess Ashi's beauty no longer belongs to the human world. I only want to protect her silently."

After a slight pause, he said with a slight annoyance: "The most important thing is that I want to stop His Highness Singer from having unrealistic ambitions towards Princess Ashi."

"Your Highness Katsuie, are you talking about the most powerful general of the Oda family, Shibata Katsuie?"

Seeing the other party nodding, Asai Nagamasa couldn't help but be even more surprised: "But not only has he had a wife for a long time, but he is almost 40 years old now. He is almost three times as old as Aichi, right?" Shibata Katsuie is the current number one in the Oda family. A fierce general, Oda Nobunaga had been fighting for many years when his father was still alive. He was the number one fierce general in the Oda family. After so many years, he had already become an out-and-out elder in the Oda family.

But now he has not surrendered to the family governor Oda Nobunaga, who is known as the "Owari Big Fool". Instead, he has chosen Oda Nobunaga's younger brother, Oda Nobuyuki, who is famous for his intelligence, so he should not be in Qingsu Castle at the moment. .

"Yes."

Maeda Keiji nodded vigorously and said firmly: "So I will do my best to stop him at all costs."

Asai Nagamasa also nodded subconsciously. In any case, it is definitely not something worthy of approval for an uncle who is close to 40 years old to marry a teenage girl, not to mention that this uncle already has a wife. up.

At this moment, he suddenly felt a shock all over his body, his heart was beating wildly uncontrollably, and the hand holding the wine glass couldn't help shaking, and a little bit of sake spilled onto the wooden board.

Maeda Keiji next to him was immediately very surprised. Although they had only known each other for three days, he had already roughly seen what kind of person the other person was, so he chose to befriend the other person, but he had never seen the other person be so kind. Gaffe.

He immediately followed Asai Nagamasa's gaze and found that that was the direction he was paying attention to - the Oda family's mansion.

But now there is nothing there, and there is nothing worthy of shock at all.

Puzzled, he simply spoke directly: "Nagamasa-kun, why are you suddenly so out of sorts?"

Asai Nagamasa shook his head gently: "I don't know, but I feel that suddenly, my heart is being touched, as if some destined fate is about to come."

Having said that, he had roughly figured out that this sudden throbbing did not come from himself, but from the guardian spirit Biwing Bird in his body.

But it didn't reply immediately to his inquiry, because now it was in a burst of inexplicable joy.

However, it shouldn't be a bad thing. The guardian spirit's loyalty to its master is unquestionable.

Maeda Keiji was suddenly more surprised, he wanted to say something, but the next moment, a large group of people came out of the mansion, and he, who was still leaning on the floor, didn't care about Asai Nagamasa's strange state, he suddenly He stood up and looked there with sharp eyes.

Then they saw a little girl who was about twelve or thirteen years old, wearing a cherry-colored kimono and carved with jade, just walked out of the Oda family's mansion under the guard of a group of samurai and ashigaru.

Although she looks very young, she possesses stability and maturity beyond her years, just like a real princess.

The hearts of the two men beat violently in unison, and they could even hear each other's heartbeats.

The throbbing in Asai Nagamasa's heart became more and more obvious, not only because of the other's otherworldly beauty, which made people instantly full of protective desire, but also because the guardian spirit Biwing Bird in his body sensed the same kind, and there was also one in Asai's body. Birds of a feather!

Looking at the other party's beautiful little face, he felt that every feature of the other party was beautiful and full of beauty. At the same time, there seemed to be a voice in his heart that was constantly urging him: Protect her, take care of her!

"I'm lucky, I actually waited for Princess Ashi."

Next to him, Maeda Keiji murmured to himself. At this time, he was no longer as free and easy as usual.

Asai Nagamasa, who was looking at the other party with a little obsession, was suddenly shocked again. He forcibly diverted his eyes away from Ashi, squeezed the magic formula with his right hand, and the slightly cold water energy began to flow in his body. His breath gradually calmed down.

He immediately knew that he had been unknowingly influenced by Biyiniao. He was not interested in the little Lolita. Even though she was indeed beautiful, he could only admire her at most.

Under normal circumstances, he would never have the urge to possess the other person just now. He prefers mature beauties, such as A Xiu or Qiao Ji.

The winged bird has only one eye and one wing, and must have both male and female wings to fly. It is also a sacred bird that symbolizes love. It is said that it never separates. Is that why I am so attracted to it?

I silently asked the Biwing Bird in my heart, but the Biwing Bird, who didn't have much wisdom to speak of in the first place, was so excited that he went crazy when he saw other Biwing Birds. Only a few scattered words came back to prove that this was indeed the case. possible.

But at the same time, Biyiniao also said that as a host, he should not be so affected.

What does the love between the male and female birds have to do with him as the host?

"Nagamasa-kun, although I also know that Princess Ashi is very charming, this is the first time I have met someone like you."

Maeda Keiji, who had no idea what was going on next to him, looked at Asai Nagamasa with a somewhat strange look in his eyes.

Asai Nagamasa was helpless. This was actually not his own fault, but the reason of the male bird guardian spirit residing in his body. He didn't know how to amplify this emotion, which made him lose his temper.

But he couldn't explain it to the other party very well for a while, because he had already determined that there was indeed no guardian spirit in Maeda Keiji's body, and he needed to explain more things to make the other party understand.

So forget it, just let it be a misunderstanding. Anyway, the other party doesn't have any ill intentions.

After trying to calm down for a few seconds, Asai Nagamasa looked over again.

Because he was on guard, he didn't lose his composure this time, but he still couldn't help but have the idea of ​​possessing the other party, and no matter how much he calmed down, it didn't help, just like the picture of Ah Shi. Her little face seemed to exude charm to him all the time.
Wait, charm?
Yes, it is not just the attraction between the two-winged birds, there are probably other guardian spirits in each other's body. The female biwing-bird does not have this kind of charm ability, it only increases the spells of the ice and wind systems!

Asai Nagamasa suddenly woke up, and then he quickly flipped through the memories in his mind, and soon came to a rough conclusion: throughout the history of Nibon, it is probably the only charm that can achieve this effect.
