Cruel Blade!

Hey.

Who are you?

Thinking back,

this is where everything started to go wrong.

Probably.

Ever since I was little, trouble has always had a habit of finding me.

I can't breathe.

The doors on the right side will now open.

Please be careful.

Finally there!

Ow...

What's up with that?

I'm getting off! I'm getting off!

No!

I'm gonna be late again!

Oda Nobunaga was born in 1534.

He is, without a doubt, the most famous general of the Warring States era.

It all began when he unified Owari in 1559.

It was quickly followed by the Battle of Okehazama against Imagawa Yoshimoto.

Hideyoshi.

Please.

Tokunyan.

Thanks.

Quietly, quietly...

Hide-san?

Aren't you late again?

But I never expected that to happen!

Episode 1

A Maiden Teleported

Why are you always late?

I have trouble getting off the train.

It gets so crowded during rush hour.

Ah, don't touch that!

You're so stingy, Date-sensei!

No, I'm not.

Anyway, you should just take an earlier train.

I would, but I can't wake up any earlier.

I'm already at my limit!

You should just go to bed earlier.

You're right, but...

I've got things to do at night.

Things?

Well, like checking out Tama-chan, my favorite idol's blog,

checking out the net auctions, reading magazines,

and texting my friends!

And then I have some late night snacks.

Before I even realize it, it's really late.

Hide-san.

It's good to have lots of interests,

but try to study a bit more instead of just goofing off.

I'm not goofing off!

Sorry, but fashion and snacks are my life.

So I'm not just goofing off!

Right, right.

I understand.

Do you really, Date-sensei?

Listen up! If you fail the next test,

you'll have to take make-up classes all the way up until summer vacation.

Seriously?

Seriously.

Now, go home and study.

I'm very busy today, so I don't have a lot of time.

So when things get hard for your student, you just give her the cold shoulder?

Start by trying your best.

If that's still not enough, I'll give you some help.

Akerin, what should I do?

What do you mean?

You just need to study for your test.

You should at least be able to remember Toyotomi Hideyoshi.

"Hideyoshi" is your nickname, after all.

I just can't, Tokunyan.

Besides, it's not like I got that nickname because I like that Toyotomi Hidekichi guy.

"Hidekichi"?

Since your name is Hide Yoshino, I guess Hideyoshi isn't really a creative nickname.

You know, you'll be in big trouble if you don't study for real.

My lovely free time after school...

What should I do?

I prayed to God, and I got a BR Riichi!

God answered my prayers!

Praying to God...

Will my wish come true?

So long...

So steep...

This place gives me the creeps.

It's so dark!

It's like a horror movie!

I'm here, but...

There's no one here but me.

Omikuji fortunes?

Well, I like testing my luck more than relying on a god.

This is perfect!

Oh right, the money.

Okay! Perfect!

Now I won't need any make-up classes!

I haven't prayed yet!

What should I do?

I only have one yen left for the whole month!

Will it be enough?

I can only spare this much right now,

so I'll give you the rest once I get more.

Did I do that right?

No way! My after-school life!

What's that?

Someone's there.

What's going on?

Wow!

What?

Shit!

Huh?

I fell asleep.

Am I in a park?

No... A forest?

How?

A mountain?

What's that?

Is it a campfire?

It's not!

A fire!

Fire department!

I've gotta call 119!

Someone's there!

Excuse me!

Are you all right?

We need to call the fire department!

Akerin!

I'm so relieved!

Akerin, I went to some temple, and all kinds of weird stuff happened!

What's going on here?

There's a fire!

Did you call the fire department?

Akerin?

What are you talking about?

I don't know you!

Hey!

Now's not the time to be telling jokes!

Villains!

Who are these people?

Arsonists?

Robbers?

Hey!

We'll talk later!

Are you the ones who attacked this village?!

Cruel Blade!

My lord!

Hey.

Who are you?

M-Me? Um, I'm... uh... Hide Yoshino.

I mean... I... I'm...

Um... People call me Hideyoshi.

Hideyoshi?

A good name.

Who doesn't have a flushing toilet by now?

Anyway, I followed them like they asked, but...

It's dark.

What is this place?

Why don't they use electricity?

Are they trying to save energy?

It gives the place a certain atmosphere,

but the candlelight will strain my eyes.

This mansion is huge, but...

I'm terribly sorry about this.

It isn't your fault.

Don't worry about it.

What's going on here?

One girl looks just like Akerin.

She and the other woman are both pretty weird.

Oh, I get it!

They're cosplayers!

And they're really into it!

That's gotta be it.

It's amazing how they've even decorated their house like this.

But where are we?

Um... I should look at a map.

What is that?

It's a cell phone, of course!

Oh, this is the latest model!

I'm going to use the GPS to find out...

Huh?

It says it's out of range.

Out of range?

The signal, you see...

The signal?

What are you talking about?

Um, well... I can't get a signal.

What is this signal you keep talking about?

See?

It's out of range, so I can't get even a single bar.

B-Bar?

See? It's out of range.

Out of Range

Don't you think the reception's really bad here?

Give me that!

This is what we do with things like this!

What are you doing?

If a cuckoo won't sing, kill it.

If it's of no use, we simply destroy it!

You'll break it!

We just have to go to a place that has better reception!

Hey! How dare you speak to my lord that way?!

Hold on a second.

Is it really that important?

It really is!

I can't live without it!

I see.

I'm not getting any reception!

Come on! Come on!

Hey, listen to me!

Hey, you.

Will that cell phone of yours do anything useful?

Looks like it won't.

I'm not getting any bars.

My lord, this has gone on far enough.

We should get her out of the castle immediate—

Mitsuhide.

I was thinking about letting her help us.

My lord! Are you feeling okay?

Indeed.

We don't even know who she is!

Even for you, my lord, this isn't funny—

Mitsuhide.

You must try to stop thinking with this,

and feel with this once in a while.

She has a strange appearance, but I think we can use her.

Seriously? Her?

There is no reason.

My heart just feels this way.

Um... You guys seem to be discussing something,

but you didn't actually include me in the convers—

What?

I'd like to go home.

Do you?

Very well.

Was there always a big castle like this in my neighborhood?

Calm down.

I need to calm down!

I remember going to a shrine on the way back from school,

then I bought a good-luck charm,

then there was this light, and the bell fell down.

Then I woke up here.

Give her some money to get home.

This is money?

And...

Oda Nobunaga:

A Warring States period general.

Lived from 1534 to 1582.

I am Oda Nobunaga.

My name is Akechi Mitsuhide.

E-Eiroku?

It's not the Heisei period?

Heisei?

What's that?

But why are they girls?

Something's fishy.

It's all dark.

Where's the station, anyway?

How do I get home?

It's so big.

I'm hungry.

I want a hamburger.

I can stop the diet for today, right?

I'll order large fries!

There's no convenience store or anything, is there?

Seriously, where am I?

Did I really...

There's no way, right?

What's wrong?

Weren't you going home?

I was going to,

but I can't find the station.

I don't even know what lines run through here.

I don't think I can get home.

What are you doing here?

W-Well... I was wondering if you had made it home.

Are you hungry?

No.

What's wrong?

Weren't you hungry?

It's not that. Do you have any ketchup or mayo?

Did you say something?

No.

By the way...

I'm told you will be relying upon our lord's beneficence.

Um, you see, I don't know how to get home,

so I guess I'll be staying over—

But you'll be living here for a while, right?

Y-Yes, unfortunately...

Then while you're here, make yourself useful to the lord.

Will you help me?

I wish to conquer the land.

Conquer?

What should I do?

Help me find the armor.

For generations, this helmet has been passed down through the Oda family.

I originally thought it a mere helmet, so I kept it in storage.

However, I recently obtained a scroll that describes the Crimson Armor.

This is what it said:

The general who wears this Crimson Armor will certainly conquer the land.

The legend says that the general who wore this Crimson Armor incurred the gods' wrath and lost his life.

The armor was then scattered and lost.

When I heard this legend, I thought to myself,

"If I were to find all of the armor's pieces,

it would hasten my long-cherished desire of conquest,

and I would be able to unite the Land of the Rising Sun into one nation."

That was really complicated, so I didn't get all of it.

But basically, she wants to complete a set, right?

I guess.

Come to think of it,

I sometimes buy stuff, just for the whole set bonus.

I get it! I'll help you!

Easy for you to say.

You will?

I'm counting on you.

Yes!

Well, I guess I can help out until I find a way back home.

That Nobunaga seems like a really nice woman.

I have a lot of problems with this,

but I guess I can think about it tomorrow.

Can't someone do something about this toilet?

A dog?

So cute!

It's got a helmet.

That's kinda silly!

Who the hell are you?
