Prologue AND Chapter 1-3

************

Hi Everyone,

My chapter 1-3 were not saved for some reason because of my wifi connection... And I did not have a save copy so it's really regrettable but I will not be writing the first three chapters again :(. I apologize and thank you so much for taking your time to read my story!

I'll give a small summary of what happened. Because it is based on Ikemen Sengoku, I tried to make the events of Airi traveled back in time just exactly like in Ikemen Sengoku. If you have any questions or confusion, please feel free to comment and I'll clarify more! Once again I apologize!

Summary:

Prologue:

L/N Y/N met with Sasuke when she visits Honno-ji after she moved to Kyoto. A sudden rainstorm and the appearance of a wormhole pulled both of them back in time, 500 years in the past, back to June 21st the year of 1582.

When she woke up, she was at a burning temple. Through confusion, she saw a man and saved his life by pulling him out of the burning temple. The man turned out to be Oda Nobunaga and he offered her a position to stay by his side (just exactly like in the game) for saving his life, but she refused.

(Here is where it will be different from Ikemen Sengoku)

Chapter 1-3:

After refusing Nobunaga's offer because she still does not know what is going on around her, she is still confused by all that just happened. She wanders to the main city of Kyoto and find a job at a diner inn, run by a small boy named Hide Yahiko and his mother.

(I'm adding in the prologue event from Samurai Love Ballad Party!)

Despite the difference in her attitude toward society and confusion to what is going on, Yahiko and his mother kindly take her in and give her a place to live and food to eat in exchange for her service working there as a waitress. However, after 2 weeks of living there, a magistrate came to have dinner at the inn and has his eyes on her. He started to flirt with her occasionally and one day he demanded her to become his concubine but she strongly refused, slapping the man when he continues to insist and harass her with his political power. Thankfully, Sasuke appears to save her.

Y/N recognizes Sasuke as the man in glasses that she saw back at Honno-ji back in the future. Sasuke then goes on to explain to her in clear details that they had traveled back in time, though she had already figured that out by now after 2 weeks of living here. He told her that he was here 4 years before her and had been looking for her since then.

Sasuke asks if she would like to come with him back to his employer where he can protect her, without revealing who his employer is. However, Y/N knows she had made an enemy with the magistrate and the guy will not leave the diner inn alone. Knowing that the magistrate will come back for revenge, she reluctantly and regretfully refuses Sasuke because she owes Yahiko and his mother for their kindness. Sasuke understands and leave Kyoto for he has to report back to his job, but promised her he will be checking on her often.

One week later, the magistrate send a letter of summon, demanding the boy named Hide Yahiko to be become Oda Nobunaga's taster. The magistrate believes Yahiko is Y/N's little brother. Yahiko's mother breaks down in tears, knowing the very fate that awaits for people who become taster of daimyos (warlords). However, Yahiko's mother and Yahiko never blamed Y/N for it.

Knowing that she owes Yahiko and his mother and she was the cause of trouble, she decides to take on the role to become Nobunaga's taster. She leaves a letter behind and sneaks out of the diner inn to meet with two samurai who will take her to Azuchi. With her make-up skills from the modern world, she disguised herself as a man and travel to Azuchi Castle where she is met with the first unifier of Japan, Oda Nobunaga, the very same man she saved that first day she traveled back in time.
