Oda Nobunaga Affection Skits/Silver

**Skit 1 - Butterfly**

**Player**
Uhm, Nobunaga-san?

**Oda Nobunaga**
Don’t move!

**Player**
Eh!?

**Oda Nobunaga**
It left...

**Player**
Eh...?

**Oda Nobunaga**
It was a butterfly. A butterfly landed on top of your hair. It was very beautiful. I was wondering how I would decorate it...

**Player**
A b-butterfly... I see...

**Oda Nobunaga**
What? Did you think it was about yourself? Your face is not worthy enough to be seen.

**Player**
(T-that is a mean way of putting it... You don’t need to say it with such pleasant look on your face though...)

**Skit 2 - Konpeito**

**Oda Nobunaga**
*Player*, Take out the dried persimmons.

**Player**
The dried persimmons, yesterday, it was the last one after we had dinner.

**Oda Nobunaga**
What was that! Immediately call the maid to get her buy more.

**Player**
Ah, if that is the case, right now the maid is already out doing buying some, If you’d just wait for a little bit longer.

**Oda Nobunaga**
When did they leave the castle?

**Player**
Just a while ago. Today it has been told there will be a bargain sale, it will take a little bit longer than normal.

**Oda Nobunaga**
.....

**Player**
(...This is, he is angry isn’t he)
Uhm! Instead of dried persimmons, just now the merchant who was here earlier, got us konpeito. Do you want to eat that?

**Oda Nobunaga**
Konpeito huh... It can’t be helped, until the dried persimmons arrive I will have that.

1. ↑ Konpeitō (金平糖, コンペイトー) is a Japanese sugar candy. They come in a variety of colors and flavors.

**Skit 3 - Horse Figure**

**Player**
A figure of a horse drinking sake...?

**Oda Nobunaga**
Have you finished cleaning?

**Player**
N-Nobunaga-san! Ah, I’ll be done in a little while more!

**Oda Nobunaga**
Don’t lie. You were taken by the quality of that figure, no?

**Player**
Taken by...? T-That’s right. It’s a lovely figure, isn’t it!

**Oda Nobunaga**
The merchant who came the other day brought it. It seems to be an imported item. I am the only one in this country who has this.

**Player**
I-It’s that valuable, huh. Wow.

**Oda Nobunaga**
You have a discerning eye to understand its quality. Unlike Katsuie.

**Player**
(Katsuie-san is an honest one, huh... Nobunaga-san’s sense might be strange.)

**Skit 4 - Barefeet**

**Player**
N-Nobunaga-san! Why are you barefoot?

(Why isn’t he wearing shoes properly!?)

**Oda Nobunaga**
Why are you so noisy this morning. Clearly it’s hot.

**Player**
Even if it’s hot, you have to wear something... and you were about to go to the garden?

**Oda Nobunaga**
Hmph. I have no reason to accept your instructions. Come to think of it, the same was said to me in the past.

On a strong sunny day like today, I was simply cooling off under a tree in my loincloth.

**Player**
You were daring since you were a small child, huh...

**Oda Nobunaga**
If you are dissatisfied, then change the weather so that I have to wear shoes. If you can.

**Skit 5 - Battle Preparations**

**Player**
The next battle is starting already, huh... Are preparations completed with this?

**Oda Nobunaga**
There are no problems. We will be sure to obtain victory. My army has no weakness.

**Player**
Haha, that’s right.

**Oda Nobunaga**
I’ve trained my vassals strictly in tactics that haven’t been used yet on this land. I would like to think they will execute it without mistakes.

**Player**
...You would like to think?

**Oda Nobunaga**
Any borrowed wisdom will not go well. However, they have amassed firm training up to now. I think there will be no problems.

If it’s them, they will achieve it precisely. Those who cannot are unnecessary to my army.

**Player**
(Even if they failed, I’m sure measures have been taken for the next plan. Nobunaga-san is that kind of person.)

**Oda Nobunaga**
Now, the last war council before the battle begins is starting. You will listen carefully as well.

**Skit 6 - Training**

**Player**
(Mngh... morning...? What’s that noise I can hear outside?)

**Oda Nobunaga**
Hyah! Hnh...!!

**Player**
(It’s Nobunaga-san. He’s holding a wooden sword and practicing.)

(Such an intense concentration... I can’t disturb him.)

**Oda Nobunaga**
Who is it?

**Player**
Ah, sorry. Good morning!

**Oda Nobunaga**
It’s you, hm. You’re up early.

**Player**
I just woke up. Do you train like this every day, Nobunaga-san?

**Oda Nobunaga**
It’s a routine. One I’ve never missed. I’m concentrating. Don’t talk to me.

**Skit 7 - Hobbies**

**Oda Nobunaga**
*Player*, are you here?

**Player**
Yes, is something wrong?

**Oda Nobunaga**
Your work the other day was not bad. As a reward I shall show you this teaware.

**Player**
Wow! It’s really lovely!

**Oda Nobunaga**
It is something a merchant brought the other day, but this coating is wonderful. You should also look at it.

**Player**
It really is gorgeous. Now that you mention it, you have a lot of teaware in your room, huh, Nobunaga-san.

**Oda Nobunaga**
Yes, one of my hobbies. Next time I will show you them slowly.

**Player**
One? You have others?

**Oda Nobunaga**
Yes, swinging a sword, riding a horse, all of these are hobbies. I enjoy shifting my attention to various things and challenging them.

Hobbies develops one’s life, enriching one’s sensibility, and aiding in diplomacy. You should also find a good hobby.

**Skit 8 - Breaks**

**Player**
(The battle is over and today everyone is taking a day off, huh... The castle is quiet.)

Ah, Nobunaga-san? Good morning. Have you been reading since this morning?

**Oda Nobunaga**
If I was, what of it?

**Player**
“Military”... “Plan”... A strategy book? Even though a battle just ended, you’re already thinking about the next...?

**Oda Nobunaga**
The battle this time has ended, but I cannot be careless. I am simply doing what I must.

For the next battle, the soldiers and vassals should take their rest. However, if even I rest then the entire system comes to a stop.

It is a principle that those who excel in this world win. In that case, I must become the most excellent in this world.

**Player**
I understand what you’re saying but... don’t you need breaks like everyone else, Nobunaga-san?

**Oda Nobunaga**
Do not be foolish. My body is different from the others. You too should take a break.

**Player**
(Nobunaga-san is amazing... I hope he doesn’t break his body one day though.)

**Skit 9 - Falconry**

**Oda Nobunaga**
I’ve returned!

**Player**
Welcome hom- Ah, kyah!

**Oda Nobunaga**
What, do not be surprised at just a rat. That is the trophy my hawk killed from today’s falconry. It was a good hunt this time as well.

**Player**
I-I’m glad about that.

(Anybody would be surprised at the body of a rat suddenly in front of them...)

Nobunaga-san, you really like hawks, huh. You went out the other day too, didn’t you.

**Oda Nobunaga**
Yes, if the weather, and of course conditions, are different then the prey that is caught will also differ.

Most importantly, hawks are fine animals. They have sharp talons and beaks. And they are quick. Regardless of what is said, they are magnificent.

**Player**
(He looks like he enjoys talking about them too... he must really like them.)

**Skit 10 - Favorite Horse**

**Oda Nobunaga**
Hm. Today is a nice coat as well.

**Player**
(Nobunaga-san’s business was... brushing his horse...?)

**Oda Nobunaga**
What are you looking at. Come here and touch him as well.

**Player**
I-Is it okay for me to touch him?

**Oda Nobunaga**
I do not let many touch him, but you may. I give you permission.

**Player**
Haha, thank you very much. Wah, it’s so smooth...

**Oda Nobunaga**
A fine coat, is it not? This is my steed. Without missing a single day’s grooming, I’ve raised him well.

**Player**
He’s wholeheartedly received your love, huh, Nobunaga-san. I’m sure this horse is happy.

**Oda Nobunaga**
Of course. It is something like a habit however, just by giving him affection, he does fine work on the battlefield.

**Player**
Oh, I see. I’d like to see him lively and active on the battlefield too.

**Skit 11 - Miscellaneous Tasks**

**Player**
Ah, Nobunaga-san. I hope you are well.

**Oda Nobunaga**
That is Mitsuhide’s room. Was it for something?

**Player**
Yes. He asked me to bring some books over from the reference room, and I just brought them over.

**Oda Nobunaga**
Oh? A request from Mitsuhide, hm... Despite being a person who finishes the work he is bestowed alone.

It seems you are quite suited for miscellaneous tasks. In that case, tell Ranmaru who is in the training grounds to come to my room.

**Player**
Okay, I’ll go now.

**Oda Nobunaga**
I am entrusting this to you. Afterwards, prepare some tea.

**Player**
Okay, understood!

**Oda Nobunaga**
You look pleased. Are miscellaneous tasks that enjoyable? ...Well, better than doing it unwillingly. It is not hard to understand Mitsuhide’s feelings in using you.

**Skit 12 - Riding**

**Oda Nobunaga**
This is my horse. Today I will take you on a long ride. What is your riding experience?

**Player**
N-None.

**Oda Nobunaga**
Hm, fine, I’ll teach you. It will be enough to at least know how to ride a horse so that you aren’t a burden on the battlefield.

**Player**
Nobunaga-san, you’re good at riding, huh.

**Oda Nobunaga**
Ha! Who did you hear that from?

There is nothing I am unskilled at.

**Player**
I-I see...

**Oda Nobunaga**
Now, let’s go. Today the skies are clear. A fine day for riding!

**Player**
(For some reason it looks like he’s enjoying himself more than usual. He really likes riding, huh...)

**Skit 13 - Self-Confidence**

**Player**
Nobunaga-san, have you decided on the strategy for the next battle?

**Oda Nobunaga**
What are you asking? Of course a winning formation is being assembled.

**Player**
Nobunaga-san, you’re always full of confidence, huh. That’s amazing.

**Oda Nobunaga**
Amazing? I do not understand. The one you can trust the most in this world is yourself.

**Player**
Yourself...

**Oda Nobunaga**
A person with no confidence is unnecessary in this place. There is no value in listening to their opinions and they cannot be put on the battlefield.

I believe it is conviction to go through with what I myself have decided upon. If you are with me, you should change your thoughts.

**Player**
I understand. I’ll try my best.

**Oda Nobunaga**
Hmph, be sure to make that perseverance beneficial to your body.

**Skit 14 - Rain**

**Player**
Nobunaga-san, weren’t you planning to go out today?

**Oda Nobunaga**
That shouldn’t matter to you.

**Player**
That’s right, but... It’s raining, so please be careful.

**Oda Nobunaga**
Yes, the rain is really bothersome.

**Player**
Do you dislike rain?

**Oda Nobunaga**
Are there people who do? I’d like to erase this season of rain with my power!

The rain that falls during battles is bothersome as well. Sliding and slipping in the mud is not something that befits this Oda Nobunaga!

**Player**
(That’s true, I don’t think I really want to see Nobunaga-san slip in the mud.)

**Oda Nobunaga**
Hurry and leave!

**Skit 15 - Dried Plums**

**Player**
Mm, it came out well I think.

**Oda Nobunaga**
*Player*? What are you doing there?

**Player**
I’m pickling dried plums. The cook said these could be eaten in two more days or so.

**Oda Nobunaga**
It will take two more days? Is there nothing to eat right now?

**Player**
The ones served at breakfast were the last...

**Oda Nobunaga**
I want to eat them now. Go to the town.

**Player**
Huh, we just ate them though!?

**Oda Nobunaga**
Prepare them for lunch as well!

**Player**
O-Okay!

**Skit 16 - Equality**

**Player**
Nobunaga-san, do you think women should also be strong?

**Oda Nobunaga**
If they wish to be. However, it is not easy to obtain strength.

But I think creatures who are only protected do not exist in this world.

Women and children themselves are nothing special. There are many things available with effort.

**Player**
I see.

**Oda Nobunaga**
I do not know what the world you lived in was like though. Are you satisfied with this?

**Player**
Yes, thank you very much.

(For better or worse, everything is “equal” in Nobunaga-san’s eyes.)

(I don’t know what I can do, but I’ll work hard too.)

**Skit 17 - Future Vision**

**Player**
Once you succeed in unifying the country, Nobunaga-san, what will you do?

**Oda Nobunaga**
Unifying the country is nothing more than a checkpoint. It is only by achieving it, can we see the future of this country.

**Player**
The future of this country...

**Oda Nobunaga**
Correct. I will take possession of this Shinga and make it a country that will not lose to anyone.

As a belonging of this Oda Nobunaga, it should be better than anyone and anything.

However, the world is large. I must broaden my experiences. It is certain there is nothing more foolish than ignorance.

**Player**
Wow. that was informative.

(Nobunaga-san isn’t done with just unifying the country... He has an even broader view.)

**Oda Nobunaga**
At that time, I will use your powers even more so.

**Skit 18 - Shogi**

**Player**
Uugh...

**Oda Nobunaga**
Heh. With this, that is ten matches and ten victories. You were wrong to challenge I, Oda Nobunaga, to a match.

**Player**
C-Can we have one more game! Since you went through the trouble of teaching me shogi, Nobunaga-san...

I want to win at least once! I’d be happy if you could be a little easier on me.

**Oda Nobunaga**
Hah, what are you saying. Even though this is shogi, a match is a match. I will not make an allowance.

Hmph, it is a thousand years too early for an apprentice to beat their master.

**Player**
(Uu... how frustrating. But it’s a little nice to be alone together with Nobunaga-san like this.)

**Oda Nobunaga**
Hm? Why are you smiling? On top of that, you are pleased to lose to me. Did you realize how valuable an opportunity it is to have a competition with me?

Naturally. Come, let us do another match. Right now I am pleased. I won’t ease up though.

**Skit 19 - Running**

**Player**
(For some reason I can’t sleep, so maybe I’ll get some fresh air outside.)

**Oda Nobunaga**
What are you doing there?

**Player**
Sorry, um, I couldn’t sleep so I thought I’d get some fresh air outside.

**Oda Nobunaga**
I see. And you surely were not thinking about running away?

**Player**
I wasn’t thinking about running. Because I know that even if I did that nothing would be solved.

**Oda Nobunaga**
For you these are unfamiliar lands. Even if there is only a little insecurity or confusion, you will have fear. On that point, you have promise.

**Player**
(...Could that have been a compliment?)

**Oda Nobunaga**
If you try to run then I will also have no mercy. However, we will not trick or deceive you. Be at ease.

**Player**
Okay.

(Nobunaga-san might be a better person than I thought. It’d be nice if I could get to know him more, little by little.)

**Skit 20 - Blood**

**Player**
(Ah, I cut my finger a little...)

**Oda Nobunaga**
!!

**Player**
(The cut was small so thankfully the bleeding stopped soon...)

**Oda Nobunaga**
Do not be idiotic. Not all vampires can retain their reason like me. Think on that.

**Player**
Ah, right, sorry! Nobunaga-san, um, are you okay?

**Oda Nobunaga**
What do you mean by “okay”. I am not a fool who loses their sanity just from seeing blood.

**Player**
R-Right...

**Oda Nobunaga**
If you are going to offer me blood, come with a resolve to die. I have no motivation to leave any blood in that body.

**Player**
...I’ll bear that in mind.
