It is on day 2 of the battle. Masumane and Ieyasu had successfully drove out half of the enemy's size by cornering them from the East and North. Even though Y/N is not dragged to the front, but bloody images of the wounded soldiers are imprinted in her mind. They were coming back like ants.
Sitting in the corner in horror, there is nothing for her to do except help tend to the small wounds.
"Is this what you want me to see? Nobunaga... The terror of war and your power?" She mutters under her breath.
She sighs heavily as she looks up at the darkening sky. If she remembers correctly from history texts, this battle takes place somewhere after Nobunaga's death. It was a smooth planned invasion that honored the 2 daimyos of the Oda forces. But because it was only a small-scale war, there was not a lot of texts about it. According to history, the fight will come to an end on the 3rd day at dawn.
"Y/N." A soldier comes running in. "Nobuoki-sama has arrived and would like to take the wounded back to Azuchi, Ieyasu-sama is informed."
"I'll go get the list of soldiers who need to be tend to right away." She hands the soldier a paper before he exits the tent.
As she put the list together, she thought to herself of Nobunaga's older brother, Oda Nobuoki. In textbook, unlike Nobunaga, Nobuoki is someone who is not experienced in battles and war so the Oda clan had left everything in Nobunaga's hand. The man that is deemed to be talented in art of war and political.
At that moment, a thought crosses her mind that makes her eye widens in confusion. Nobuoki, he is not supposed to show up in this battle. Or at least he was not mentioned in history text. The wounded soldiers are heading back to Azuchi with Ieyasu after today while Masamune is in charge of the rear. So, what is Nobuoki doing here? If history had changed itself, there is no telling what will happens.
She gasps in shock at the realization of danger. She grabs the pistol and run out of the tent looking for the soldier that had just appeared in the tent. She looks around the field, but every soldier is wearing the same armors that make it hard to spot him.
"Dammit...!" She said under her breath at how she just missed something so obvious.
No one from the Oda force knows that her name is Y/N except for the people at Nobunaga's council that day. Her incident of being treated as a spy was not revealed to anyone either. Masamune and Ieyasu had not speak to her ever since they left to war and the other soldiers are still addressing her by Yahiko. So the soldier that came in to request a list of the wounded should not know that her name is Y/N. Unless he is a spy that Hideyoshi and Mitsuhide had been looking for in Azuchi Castle!
"Yahiko, is there something wrong?" A soldier spots how troubling she is looking.
"Nobuoki... Nobuoki-sama, where is him?!" She looks at him with impatience.
He could be in danger because of her.
"Nobuoki-sama is resting in the West wing." The soldier points toward the direction the camp that is located not too far from where she is.
"Thank you!" She rushes off toward the West wing, praying that she will make it on time.
She could barely sleep the past 2 nights due to the terrors of the war, but she still put every strength in her legs to run.
As soon as she gets to the West Wing camp, she looks through the big tents hoping to spot Nobuoki. Since the West wing is the camp that is highly secured and guarded, no one can enter the camp without a document from the generals, and she had mistakenly gave the admission document to that one soldier. Ieyasu gave her a small task to do and she had messed it up.
