Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56Oichi has been visiting me occasionally. I’ve been having a lot of fun spending time with her but whenever she’s not here, I’m back to being bored and doing nothing. It’s been pretty peaceful lately which was such a breath of fresh air. Ever since I got here, I’ve been thrown into different battles and wars. It’s nice to have this kind of peace once in a while.

Shards of Time Shards of Time: Toyotomi Hideyoshi
Instead of boring myself inside the castle, I took it upon myself to take a walk outside once in a while. I didn’t want to be alone inside the castle anymore so I decided to walk around the training grounds to talk to some of Nobunaga’s vassals and ask them how everything is.
Shards of Time Shards of Time: Plans Against Mino
During the past couple of days, I noticed that Nobunaga has been getting increasingly busy. Sometimes he doesn't even return to the Tenshu to sleep. I worry about his health when he's like this but it's really difficult to convince him to stop overworking himself. Also, I've been too distracted with my own fun that it completely slipped my mind about the upcoming events. This is around the time when Mino will fall.I ran down to the room where Nobunaga held his meeting with his vassals. I plan to tell him about my adopted brother's son's plans. When I got there, Nobunaga and the others were already there. as if Nobunaga knew that I was coming, he patted the empty seat next to him. I made my way over to him and I sat down on the spot he had saved for me. The war council is about to begin."Have we gathered enough information about the situation in Mino?" Nobunaga asked. Masamune stood up and lowered his head at Nobunaga before he spoke."The curren

The preparations for the plan against the current daimyo of Mino has begun. Nobunaga asked me not to interfere and just let his men do their work. He also promised me that there will be no bloodshed and he will try not to resort to violence when the plan doesn't go accordingly. I thanked him for his consideration although I would have been fine with it even if he wanted to retaliate against the daimyo of Mino. Nobunaga's vassals were very capable men so I didn't really need to do much. I just had to sit around and wait until everything was ready.
Shards of Time Shards of Time: Gifu Castle
When we took back Mino, Nobunaga had instructed Hideyoshi to rebuild the castle. In my memory, I remember clearly how the Gifu castle looked like. I was lucky enough to get a chance to visit the said castle back in my time. Who would've thought that I would be able to see the Gifu Castle when it was first restored."Would you like to visit the castle?" Nobunaga asked me. I quickly agreed and accepted his offer. I would definitely want to see it after all this time. Nobunaga and I traveled to Mino where the Gifu Castle was. Hideyoshi did a good job restoring the castle and now it's almost complete. The men who were under the previous daimyo had deflected and pledged their allegiance to the Oda forces. Nobunaga stationed them at the Gifu Castle as guards and as a reserve army."We're nearing the castle." Nobunaga told me. We were riding a horse when I saw the castle in the distance. I got excited when I had my first glimpse of Gifu Castle. It was magnificent. I
Shards of Time Shards of Time: Preparations for Kyoto
There was another reason for our move to Gifu. It wasn’t something that Nobunaga had decided on the whim. Gifu Castle would be the best stronghold for when he starts to march towards Kyoto. One of the reasons that Oichi could visit me often in the past was because her husband and Nobunaga were talking about his plans to march to Kyoto. Oichi’s husband was Nobunaga’s biggest support when it came to his plans so he suggested that since Nobunaga’s army has grown and they have gotten stronger, they could attack the shogun and have control over the capital of the country.
Shards of Time Shards of Time: The Traitor
During the preparation for Nobunaga's March to Kyoto, there was news from the soldiers stationed at the gate of the castle that two men were here to visit Nobunaga. When the soldier told me about that, I immediately knew who they were. I quickly got out of my chair and practically ran down to where Nobunaga was. He told the soldier to let the two men in. I stood by Nobunaga's side as we waited for the two men to enter the audience hall. The moment they stepped in, I knew what was going to happen next."Lord Nobunaga, we come here to seek your help." The first man spoke as they knelt down in front of Nobunaga and I. I recognized him as the brother of the 13th shogun of the Ashikaga Shogunate, Ashikaga Yoshiaki. If that's him then I can only assume that the person next to him is his bodyguard and another key person in history, Akechi Mitsuhide."Who are you?" Nobunaga asked. The two men raised their heads but they remained kneeling on the floor."I
Shards of Time Shard of Time: Trapped Banquet
As agreed upon, Nobunaga will install Yoshiaki as the shogun once the puppet shogun and all his accomplices are driven out. He made no effort to hide this plan. All of his men knew of this plan and he wasn't afraid to let it reach Kyoto. Words travel fast in these lands and soon almost all of the daimyos in the nearby provinces have given their support for Yoshiaki."Tomorrow, we will begin our journey." Nobunaga told me. I nodded and told him I was ready."Have you not changed your mind about joining?" He asked me. I shook my head and told him that my mind hasn't changed and I'm still willing to join him on this journey."Don't worry, I will keep my promise about staying away from danger and I will always have Tokichiro by my side. You can trust him to guard me, right?" I told him. He slowly nodded and we went to bed. The night was young but we intend to set forth as early as we can. We need to reach Omi province by nightfall so we had to be earl
Shards of Time Shards of Time: The Recovery
I slowly opened my eyes and realized that there was light out. Did I sleep through the whole night? I remembered I was poisoned by the leader of the Rokkaku clan during the dinner banquet that they prepared for us. I slowly pushed myself to sit up and I looked at my surroundings. I was in an unfamiliar room and no one was around with me. As I was about to stand up, the door slid open and Hideyoshi came in. He saw that I was awake and I could see the concern in his eyes as he moved closer towards me.

“Miss, here are the papers that need your signature for the finalization of the Spring Collection that will be featured in our fashion show.” My assistant came into my office and handed me a stack of papers. My name is Nagatsuka Akina, I’m the Founder and CEO of Hanazu Couture. Although my company hasn’t been around for as long as the other famous brands out there, we’ve become a household name in the fashion industry. I’ve worked tirelessly for the last 15 years to make this company what it is today.“Miss, I’ve received a call from...your father.” My assistant reluctantly told me. I had instructed her before that any business with regards to my family, I will not accept. I’ve told her that if anyone called saying they were my immediate family, disregard what they say and blacklist their number so they won’t be able to call again. She

I walked towards the shadow guard who called for me. When I was finally in front of him, he slowly lowered his mask, revealing his face. This was considered taboo for a shadow guard. No one, not even their master should see their faces. That was the only secret they were allowed to keep from their masters. I was surprised when he pulled down his mask."What are you doing?" I asked him frantically. I didn't want him to get into trouble. He shook his head and sat down on the windowsill. He was calm and it didn't seem like he was going to cause trouble. I relaxed my shoulders a bit and I took a step back from him."Why did you do that?" I asked. He was looking down on the floor when I asked that question. He turned his head towards me and shrugged."All this time, I believed that the master that I was serving was a good person. I knew of his story yet I couldn't understand the decision he made." He answered. I wasn't able to recall any memories fr

I didn't know how long I was trapped in my room but it felt like forever. The shadow guards would put water and food down by my door during meal time. I tried talking to them but they were silent as usual. The maids never came around to my room either. Even Mei, who would usually be with me, never came to visit. Did father do something to her? DId she leave or is she just following my father's orders? Either way, I really have to get out of here.All my windows had shadow guards under them. I couldn't even try to escape through them. There was no other way for me to contact the outside world. I was locked up and trapped inside my room. It's been a few days and maybe Prince Shiro will figure something out. Unless my father talked to him about my whereabouts, he would surely try to look for me."Hima..." I heard father's voice on the other side of the door. I walked closer hoping to hear what he had to say."I hope you're not putting your faith o
