This page contains roughly translated summaries of this character's stories.

## **Meeting the Miko (Basic Form)**

You find Kanbei in Ikusa Country. After some short greetings, he asks where you’re staying, and when you tell him he says you’re going to stay somewhere else. He said it’s safer to stay in Oda’s castle town since a battle will start nearby, so you two head to grab your stuff and move lodgings.

In the castle town, Nobunaga and Ranmaru are walking with their soldiers and I guess people are bowing but you’re not sure if you should bow or just greet them. You look around and see Kanbei on a horse, so you go to ask him for help but he almost slays you telling you not to come any closer. You stand stock still b/c wtf. He tells the other soldiers to pay no mind to you and heads off with them. You’re shocked at how different he was from last time.

You’re still down from that encounter with mean version Kanbei when you bump into both Hanbei and Kanbei. You apologize and start to run away when they greet you, but Kanbei grabs your arm. He asks why you’re trying to run away and you mention the occurrence from days before, but since he doesn’t seem to remember, you explain. Hanbei explains that Kanbei was just protecting you from breaking some law that you might have actually died for. You’re glad Kanbei wasn’t actually mad at you, and Kanbei feels bad for upsetting you. Hanbei suggests you two get to know each other better.

Sometime later, you’re heading to Nobunaga’s castle to meet with Kanbei. You find him, but he says he’s going to a war council. You ask if there’s anything you can help with. He seems surprised but also happy that you offered, and says it might do good for you to participate in the war council itself. After watching everyone talking over crazy war stuff in the meeting, you express your respect for Kuroda to Ranmaru during the break. Some giggling erupts behind you, and it’s Mitsuhide poking fun at Kanbei for overhearing his own praises. Kuroda’s silent as a rock but Takenaka says he’s just being shy. You look at him and even though he denies it he’s BLUSHING. The meeting starts again and goes until nighttime. Kanbei gives some genius idea and Nobunaga praises him, and you feel like you’ve understood him better through attending the meeting.

Some days later, Kanbei invited you to a meal as thanks, so you’re waiting to meet him. He shows up super late and bows to you while apologizing. You ask him what happened and why his face red, he said he was just resting in his room. You ask him if he has a fever. You feel his forehead and it’s quite hot, so you insist to cancel the date. You escort him while supporting him back to the castle. You nurse him a bit, and he says he feels bad for breaking the promise. You leave his room to make congee (coffee?) for him. After a while, you leave the castle to go back to where you’re staying and hear some kind of ruckus. A bunch of wounded dudes pop out of the trees. They’re running away from something. They dropped a scroll so you pick it up and go to return it.

Unsurprisingly, you can’t find them even after some days pass. Additionally, you have a bad feeling about the scroll, and that you’re being watched. Suddenly an arrow whips past you. Kuroda pops out of the scenery holding a bow and starts yelling at you. You figure the previous arrow was probably from one of Kuroda’s fellows. You say his name again and he lets his arrow fly, you close your eyes and hear a kya! from behind you. He tells you to hand over the scroll, it’s put you in danger, but you decide to keep it (idk if yang choice gives a different result) Another arrow flies and you find out the first one wasn’t from Kuroda’s side. He tells you to run far away, and he’ll stop the attackers, so you do so.

**Yin route:** You’re hiding in the grass with the scroll when Kanbei comes to find you. When you reunite, he tells you again to give him the scroll even though you protest he’d be in danger. You finally agree to give it to him but at that moment, a bunch of attackers pop out of the grass.

One of them takes you hostage and Kanbei has to drop his weapon. They imprison you somewhere. You notice he’s shivering a bit and he explains that he’s actually claustrophobic. You want to help him so you give him a hug and comfort him. Suddenly you hear footsteps coming, and both of you stiffen.

The footsteps were Takenaka Hanbei. You and Kanbei were still hugging at this point but when Hanbei noticed it you broke apart lol. Hanbei explains that the scroll was stolen from Nobunaga’s castle, and the enemies were aiming for it and the confidential information inside. You notice that Kanbei doesn’t look too good and suggest a break. You scout out a nice water stream to get water from and you say you’ll go get water for everyone, but Kanbei says he can’t let you go alone and Hanbei giggles. Hanbei says he’ll go get the water instead. You say you wish Kanbei would be more honest like before with the scroll when he said he decided he was willing to protect you with his life. You want him to honestly tell you why. He finally tells you that it’s because he likes you. Then he tells you he loves you more than anyone else. He smiles saying it feels good being honest.
