*Ages are as of 1567
◆Asai family
▼Asai Nagamasa (Fukai Nagamasa) 22 years old (18 years old)
→Originally a modern person. Lost both parents at a very young age and grew up in a welfare facility. In junior high school, he contracted the "chuunibyou" syndrome, and after studying economics, political science, and sociology, he became captivated by the allure of history, which emphasizes "reality over abstract theory." He then developed a resistance to the kind of learning that is "for the sake of exam preparation" that is taught in schools, and longed to learn things that are "directly related to life."
After being transported to the Sengoku period, he quickly accepted the situation due to the circumstances mentioned above and decided to live as "Asai Nagamasa." He is infatuated with Oda Ichi, and his ultimate goal is to "live happily with Ichi." He will do everything in his power to achieve this. He carries a penis between his legs that can expand to over 30cm at its maximum size, which he uses night after night to torment and train his beloved wife, Princess Ichi.世界的怪物Big Sun
Before the switch, Nagamasa had a past where he was married to Yoriko, the daughter of the Hirai family, who were vassals of the Rokkaku family, just as in historical fact.
▼Oda City, 19 years old
→Daughter of Oda Nobuhide. Her older brother is Oda Nobunaga. She married Nagamasa as part of a political marriage between the Asai and Oda families, but on their wedding night, the binary opposition between the "Asai family" and the "Oda family" was shattered, and she came to live as "the wife of Asai Nagamasa." She fell in love with Nagamasa, who was not only talkative but also took command from the front lines, and without Nagamasa's knowledge, she wrote numerous letters to her brother Nobunaga gushing about him, and also kept a massive "Asai Family Diary."
Born into the Oda family, known for producing many handsome men and beautiful women, she is an otherworldly beauty with long black hair, fair skin, and perfect proportions. She is very maternal and spoils Nagamasa not only when he is exhausted, but also on a regular basis, making her a "bad boy producer." However, her father, Nobuhide, showed little interest in her, and she was essentially raised in a semi-single-parent household with her real mother, so she herself is starved for fatherly affection. Her possessiveness towards Nagamasa stems from this background.
She has a somewhat perverse side to her sexuality, and the three elements of "wanting to spoil, wanting to be spoiled, and wanting to be dominated" are intertwined. Her pregnancy was discovered after the "Otani Incident."
Incidentally, marrying for the first time at this age was unusual in Sengoku-period Japan, and was considered "late" in marriage. It seems that her father and brother were overly selective in choosing a husband for Ichihime, who was exceptionally beautiful.嫁stomach
▼Naotsune Endo, 36 years old
→He was Nagamasa's tutor and one of the two great generals the Asai family boasted of, along with Isono Kazumasa. He himself preferred assisting troops or engaging in individual combat rather than commanding them.
A loyal retainer ever since falling in love at first sight with the newborn Nagamasa when he was 14 years old. In battle, he achieves tremendous results thanks to his exceptional dynamic vision, reflexes, and athletic ability. During the Odani Incident, he was ordered by Nagamasa to rescue his beloved wife, Ichihime, demonstrating the immense trust his master placed in him. He received the famous sword "Heshikiri Hasebe," made of fluorite, from Nobunaga, gaining the ability to attack demons.
He holds Hikobei, who died in loyalty to Nagamasa, in high regard and has adopted his sister, Hisa, as his daughter. However, it is widely rumored within the Asai family that he does not intend to marry her off to anyone, but rather is providing her with a thorough education so that she can serve Lord Nagamasa and subsequent generations.
The Asakura family has a rivalry with the Magara brothers, who have been their rivals since childhood.
▼Shigeharu Takenaka (Haruhime), 22 years old
→His real name was Osamu Takenaka. When the Takenaka family was asked by the Saito family to provide hostages, he impersonated a man on behalf of his brothers and called himself "Shigeharu." He was also called Hanbei, but that was a derogatory name.
In the Saito family, she was subjected to thorough humiliation by almost all the men, from samurai to foot soldiers, to the point where she was called a "toilet woman." When she learned that Tatsuoki, whom she had blindly believed to have saved her, was actually the mastermind, she fled after seizing Inabayama Castle with a small force. She sought refuge with Higuchi Naofusa, a retainer of the Asai family, but unable to forget Tatsuoki, she eventually returned to the Takenaka family. It was there that she met Nagamasa, and after being impressed by his words, she decided to work independently for the Asai family. During the siege of the Asai family ("Odani Incident") orchestrated by Hisamasa, she secretly requested aid from the Oda family, saving the Asai family from their predicament.
Unlike the beautiful Ichihime, she has the air of a married woman. She has dark brown hair, parted 8:2 in the front. According to Ryukou, "Her mouth is first class." She has a slender build, and her breasts are small enough to fit in Nagamasa's hand. She is not particularly strong.
▼Masamoto Asai, 19 years old
→Hisamasa's second son. An excellent financial bureaucrat who assists his older brother, Nagamasa. At Nagamasa's request, he teaches Hisa, who has become the adopted daughter of Endo Naotsune, the basics of financial administration. Although he was initially resistant, he has recently come to highly regard her potential after witnessing her astonishing ability to absorb information. During the "Odani Incident," he and his relative, Ryoshin, were thrown into a small prison cell, experiencing a living hell.
▼Ryoichi Asai, 38 years old
→A relative of the Asai family. He served as a close confidant of Nagamasa. He was the unsung hero, "that old guy," who excelled at group negotiations and mediation, often taking the lead in council meetings. During the Odani Incident, he remained at the castle and commanded the defending troops, but was captured due to the betrayal of Hisamasa and others and thrown into the same prison as Masamoto. Because his body hair was as thick as a bear's, the prison was apparently filled with the stench of his sweaty body.
▼Isono Kazumasa, 44 years old
→The commander of Sawayama Castle, an important stronghold of the Asai clan, and a fierce warrior of the Asai clan alongside Endo Naotsune. He is fully aware of the limits of his own abilities, yet he strives to fulfill the role assigned to him. He understands Nagamasa's ideals well, and is prepared to dedicate his life to him, especially since Nagamasa himself has come to their aid with a small force.
▼Kiyotsuna Akao, 53 years old
→One of the Asai family's proud "Three Generals of the Sea, Red, and Rain." He excelled in military administration. When Hisamasa chose to join the Rokkaku family, he conspired with Endo Naotsune and imprisoned Hisamasa on Chikubu Island, forcing him to relinquish the family headship to Nagamasa. In historical fact, when the Asai family was destroyed, he helped and witnessed the escape of Ichihime and her daughters before being captured and beheaded. However, Nobunaga, impressed by his loyalty, never harmed his children.
▼ Kaihoku Tsunachika, 57 years old
→One of the Asai family's proud "Three Generals of the Sea, Red, and Rain." A top-class general of the Asai family, skilled in military tactics. He was appointed commander-in-chief of the Asai army during the "Odani Incident." In historical fact, he repelled Kinoshita Hideyoshi's forces on numerous occasions and was called "my master of military strategy."
▼Kiyosada Amamori, 55 years old
→One of the Asai family's proud "Three Generals of the Sea, Red, and Rain." Unlike the other two generals, who were more militaristic, he also served as an internal affairs bureaucrat.
▼Hikobei, 17 years old
→A servant who worked at the Asai family's horse stable. Despite his low status, he played an important role, such as being allowed to touch Taishakutsukige, a horse that dislikes being touched by humans, and taking care of it.
After meeting Nagamasa, he became captivated by his character and heroic demeanor, while at the same time growing increasingly suspicious of Hisamasa, who offered him no assistance whatsoever. During the Rokkaku clan's invasion, he finally sneaked into Hisamasa's room and stole the fluorite sword "Ishiwari Kanemitsu," an effective weapon against the monstrous horses, and presented it to Nagamasa. Afterwards, he was killed by Hisamasa.
▼Hisashi Endo, 9 years old
→The younger sister of Hikobei, who worked at the Asai family's horse stable. Her parents were absent, and she lived in the village of Imasho, relying on her brother's remittances. However, it seems that the village headman, who was in charge of looking after her, was skimming off the majority of those remittances.
Through Nagamasa's efforts, she was reluctantly adopted by Endo Naotsune. However, she quickly adapted to her new life, and while working at the horse stables, she seems to have shown extraordinary adaptability by absorbing the basics of financial administration from Masamoto at an astonishing speed.
He has a strong thirst for knowledge, and recently he has been asking Naotsune for instruction in swordsmanship and spearmanship. He endures Naotsune's relentless and merciless training, and his family has witnessed him fighting Naotsune, covered in blood and wielding his weapons. He also seems to have taken an interest in Haruhime, a woman of great talent known throughout the land, now that she has joined the Asai family.
She has the kind of innocent and simple appearance of a country middle schooler who, when a city dweller visits the countryside on vacation, might suddenly find herself captivated by her, dressed in a straw hat and white dress. She is a promising talent whose future growth is something to look forward to. She harbors complex feelings towards Nagamasa, a mixture of respect and gratitude.
▼Shigenori Takenaka, 21 years old
→The younger brother of Takenaka Shigeharu (Haruhime). Cursing his frail body that could only endure the tragedy of his sister, he gained a strong body by spitting up blood. During the "Odani Incident," he could not stand by and watch his sister being brutally beaten and nearly gang-raped, and out of sibling affection, he attacked Tatsuoki. He failed, but was wounded by an arrow. He is now receiving treatment at Sugawa Castle from a doctor employed by Naotsune and from his sister.
Basically, he's a rough warrior who values loyalty and human feelings more than lofty political ideals.
▼Naofusa Higuchi, 30 years old
→A retainer of the Asai family. He had once welcomed the Takenaka siblings into his residence, and because of that connection, he guided his lord, Nagamasa, to their castle. Without him, Nagamasa would never have met the Takenaka siblings.
▼Tsubaki, 19 years old
→Ichihime's lady-in-waiting. The leader of the three daughters. Initially, she was rebellious towards Nagamasa, but through their daily interactions, she came to know that Nagamasa truly loved Ichihime, and gradually lowered her guard. Her bangs are parted to the side, and her hair in the back reaches her waist. She's probably quite stunning when she takes her clothes off. When she's on duty with Sakura, she secretly peeks in on Nagamasa and his wife's intimate moments.
▼Kaede, 17 years old
→Ichihime's lady-in-waiting. A girl who has been completely won over by the sweets that Nagamasa occasionally makes and brings to her. She loves to eat. Her bangs are parted in an M shape, and her hair is long in the back. Her chest isn't very big, but Nagamasa thinks the line from her waist to her legs is very beautiful.
▼Sakura, 18 years old
→Ichihime's lady-in-waiting. A girl who is very curious about sexual matters, even though she knows it's wrong. She has her bangs parted in the middle. She has the largest breasts among the ladies-in-waiting. She invites Tsubaki to secretly peek into the bedroom of Nagamasa and his wife.
◆Oda family
▼Oda Nobunaga, age 33
→Head of the Oda family. Ichihime's older brother. He was dispatched to Omi at the request of Takenaka Shigeharu, where he met his brother-in-law, Nagamasa, for the first time.
He appreciated Nagamasa's leadership abilities and spirit, and he also possessed excellent observational skills and situational judgment, as evidenced by his immediate recognition of the emotional connection between Nagamasa and Ochihime. Although he was somewhat tired of the lovey-dovey stories his sister sent him in letters, he was satisfied when he witnessed firsthand the good relationship between Nagamasa and Ichihime, and proceeded to attack Mino from Sugawa Castle.
He was one of the greatest geniuses of the Sengoku period, possessing exceptional talent in all areas, from domestic and financial administration to foreign affairs and military matters. He was also ruthless towards those he considered enemies, but once he took a liking to someone, he would go to great lengths to grant them his favors, exhibiting two extreme sides to his personality. He loved his wife, Kicho, but since she showed no signs of pregnancy, he followed the custom of the Sengoku period and took many concubines to have children with.
◆ Asakura family
▼ Yoshikage Asakura, 34 years old
→Head of the Asakura family. A powerful figure in the Hokuriku region, he displayed exceptional abilities in internal administration and diplomacy. At Hisamasa's request, he agreed to subjugate Nagamasa, but seeing Nagamasa's potential and future, he intentionally took the "old fogey" to Echizen. Incidentally, after defeating Nagamasa, he had no intention of supporting Hisamasa, and apparently intended to establish a puppet regime in northern Omi with Shogun Ashikaga Yoshiaki at its head.
Nagamasa is highly regarded, and there is a sense that a new era is dawning.
▼Hisamasa Asai, 41 years old
→The former head of the Asai family, now retired. He hated his eldest son, Nagamasa, and the Asai retainers who forced him into retirement, and he devised various schemes to eliminate them. He incited the Rokkaku family to invade Asai territory, but seeing that this was insufficient, he requested four forces—the Wakasa Takeda family, the Asakura family, and the Saito family—to invade Asai territory. It seems he intended to regain his position as head of the Asai family afterward.
However, due to Nagamasa's unexpected rebellion and the intervention of the Oda clan, Nagamasa and his followers were taken to Echizen Province by Asakura Yoshikage, who highly valued them.
▼Masayuki Asai, 17 years old
→The third son of Asai Hisamasa. Feeling inferior to his accomplished older brothers, he accepted Hisamasa's offer. However, his father's plan ultimately failed, and he was forcibly taken to Echizen Province. Yoshikage described him as an "ordinary man."
▼Inoue Tsunechika, 39 years old
→A retainer of the Asai family who was loyal to Hisamasa. He was Hisamasa's brother-in-law and Nagamasa's cousin, making him a key figure. During the "Odani Incident," he came into contact with Endo Naotsune when he tried to visit Ichihime in order to abduct her. He wanted to duel with Naotsune, but was defeated by Naotsune, who was willing to use any means necessary to win. He is prone to emotional outbursts and has difficulty thinking things through deeply. When he was about to be killed by Naotsune, he quickly exposed Hisamasa's plan.
Afterwards, he was apparently struck in the face by Naotsune, suffered a concussion, and was recovered by Asakura soldiers and taken to Echizen Province.
◆Saito family
▼Tatsuo Saito, 19 years old
→Head of the Mino Saito family. A debauched and notoriously wicked daimyo of the Sengoku period. In the main story, only his rape of Princess Osamu is highlighted, but that was only the tip of the iceberg. It is said that he had sex with over 1000 women. His mother was the sister of Hisamasa, and he was also a cousin of Nagamasa.
He accepted Hisamasa's invitation to invade Omi, but upon seeing Ichihime's presence, he became fixated on capturing Sugawa Castle. There, he was targeted by the Oda army and lost almost all of his troops in a volley of gunfire. In the end, in desperation, he spilled all of Osahime's gruesome past, only to have his groin trampled by Taishaku Tsukimo and be beaten to death by Nagamasa.
▼Saito Michioki, 25 years old
→A relative of the Saito family. He raped women, taking advantage of Yoshitatsu's leftovers. He served as an envoy when the Takenaka family requested cooperation in the invasion of Omi, which led to the Oda family coming to the aid of the Asai family. In the end, he was driven mad with fear and tried to harm Tatsuoki, and was killed by Nobunaga's renzen-ashige while fantasizing about becoming the head of the Saito family himself.
◆Hongenji Temple (Ikko sect)
▼Yasuyuki Okazaki, 24 years old
→The son of Hisamasa. He is the half-brother of Nagamasa and also the foster brother of Honganji Kennyo. He is deeply religious and has a gentle and intelligent personality. As a close confidant of Kennyo, he gives instructions to the Ikko sect followers.
Vocabulary explanations (before Part 3)
◆Magic
→A general term for anything that makes inexplicable phenomena in the world manipulable by human hands. Incidentally, "science" in the modern era refers to the process of formulating principles that make previously inexplicable phenomena explainable. In short, magic is "something that is understood for what it is, even though the principles behind it cannot be explained."
▼Box of cavity fragments
→It contained a 'magic' that Haruhime possessed, which allowed her to swap voices . Through this, she presented herself to the outside world as a man.匣box
◆Tamafluorite
→A mysterious mineral that emits a bluish-silver glow on its own, hence its name "Tamahotaruite" (jewel fluorite). It is a mineral that can injure and kill monsters, but it is extremely rare and valuable. It can be found in mountains or in riverbeds.
◆ Monsters
→These are creatures that roam the Sengoku period, the era to which Nagamasa has been transported. They possess special abilities, such as being impervious to damage unless struck by weapons made from a special mineral called fluorite. The word "mono" itself originates from Buddhism and, simply put, refers to "beings that harm humans." The types of yokai and other supernatural beings commonly imagined are also collectively referred to as "mono."
◆Horse
→A species that, despite being monsters, has been domesticated by humans. However, they are not completely controlled, as they avoid killing each other and horses that leave human care quickly revert to their wild state. Males have jet-black horns and bodies, while females have jet-white horns and bodies. Adults can grow to over 3 meters in length, but males generally tend to grow larger. Therefore, only male horses are mobilized in war.
▼Indra Moon Hair
→A beautiful horse with golden horns, the beloved steed of Asai Ryomasa, and later ridden by Nagamasa. Hisamasa was never able to ride it. It rejects being touched by humans, but allows a select few to touch it. Since Nagamasa began riding it, it seems to have started seducing stallions and forming a reverse harem. According to Nagamasa, it's a "pure-looking bitch."
When Nagamasa is hesitant, he encourages him, and when Nagamasa's life is in danger, he does not hesitate to kill his own kind, clearly demonstrating his commitment to prioritizing Nagamasa in every situation.
▼Rensen reed hair
→Oda Nobunaga's beloved horse, a beautiful horse with a physique surpassing that of Taishaku Tsukige and possessing silver horns. It seems to have originally been a wild horse, and there was apparently a grand drama before it came to follow Nobunaga. Incidentally, contrary to its overwhelmingly majestic appearance, its manhood is so enormous that it cannot be accommodated by ordinary mares, and it seems to still be a virgin.
