The Ambitions of Oda Nobuna Volume 1

Chapter 1 : Becoming the monkey of Nobuna!

Sagara Yoshiharu, second year high school student, was panicking.

By the time he realized it, for some reason he was standing right in the middle of a battlefield during the Warring States period[1].

"Wait. Why is this happening? Where am I?"

The sound of horse hooves roaring!

The sound of guns roaring!

The desperate shouts of foot soldiers with long spears.

No matter how you look at it, this was the Warring States period.

The location can be found out later but it's in the Nōbi Plain[2].

"Woah, amazing! It's even more intense than the movie "The Seven Samurai!"

But this wasn't the time to be excited.

Yoshiharu, who had suddenly appeared in the middle of the battlefield wearing his school uniform, was wrongly identified as "A new enemy" by the foot soldiers of both sides resulting in them thrusting their spears towards him.

"Oh. Woah. Wai. Wait. I said wait!"

Lightly, lightly, quickly, quickly.

Dodging from the left, dodging from the right, while avoiding the thrusts from the long spears, Yoshiharu ran towards the thick woods.

Yoshiharu had received the nickname of "Ball avoiding Yoshi" in his dodgeball class and was good at running away.

His height, weight and athletic abilities were average but his ability to dodge the balls thrown at him was exceptional from a young age.

By the way, while he's good at avoiding the balls that come flying at him unfortunately he's bad at hitting his opponent with the ball so he wasn't invited to join the dodgeball club.

"Restless bastard, I'll turn you into dengaku on sticks[3]!"

"I am telling you guys to stop!"

Swoosh

Swoosh

Swoosh

Simultaneously, five spears were thrust towards him!

"Wooooooooooo?"

Instinctively he bent backwards with evasive movements seen in The Matrix (present time)!

The area around his waist let out a slight cracking sound.

"Amazing! He's like a monkey!"

"I'm trying to tell you that I have nothing to do with this! Your enemies are on that side!"

Shouldering his bag, he once more ran up the hill's slope.

"Hahaha. What a realistic lucid dream. Woah, there's blood coming from my cheek."

"Wait~!"

While running, Yoshiharu thought.

This isn't even worth stating, but it's a dream.

A dream.

A dream.

It's a dream.

I can only remember up till the way home from school, but what probably happened after that was that I had gone into my room and started playing "Lord Oda Nobunaga's Ambition" when I must have drifted off to sleep mid way.

That's why I am probably viewing this Warring States place in my dream.

However, unlike in "Lord Oda Nobunaga's Ambition", you cannot do the super certain kill technique of making small fry foot soldiers fly away in this dream.
