After a while, except for Asai Nagamasa and Toki Mei who were the parties involved, only the only ones left in the room who were supposed to deal with military affairs, but because the conversation between Asai Nagamasa and Toki Mei was too important, the Takenaka Hanbei, who had handed over the affairs to his Shikigami Maeki, remained in the room, listening to the next content.

"I'm not against marriage." Tokimi looked at Asai Nagamasamichi, who was calmly waiting for her reply in the hall.

"So Your Highness the Princess agreed to my proposal?" Asai Nagamasa said in surprise.

It's really hard not to surprise him, after all, he just did a very crazy thing before this - that is, before coming to Mino, he directly sent a message that he was going to marry Oda Shinna, and sent an invitation to the family governors who were good friends with each family!

But he didn't expect that Oda Shinna would be defeated so quickly, and almost the next moment he released the subordinates who sent the invitation, he received the news that the Oda family had been defeated and merged into the Imagawa family as a whole.

This was a slap in the face for him, directly smashing his plans and calculations.

So in addition to the stability and calm on the surface, in fact, he is more flustered in his heart than the old dog who has been pushed to the edge of the cliff, and he is worried about finding a person whose identity, status, and power are worthy of him, and his appearance is not inferior to Oda Shinna's too many betrothed. But he didn't expect that on the way to recruit Takenaka Hanbei, he would encounter such an amazing change - Saito Yoshiryu was killed by Mino's daughter who guarded Toki Yoriyi.

What is this? Fake Toki meets real Toki?

Anyway, at this moment, Asai Nagamasa is very grateful to God and the gods who don't know whether they exist or not, and give him the opportunity to save everything, so that he and even the face of the Asai family will not be completely thrown into the ditch because of his previous commotion, and he will be washed over and over again by the sewage.

"Personally, I can't find a reason to object, but ......"

"But?" Asai Nagamasa looked at Toki Mei with a puzzled face, waiting for her next step.

"How much do you know about me?" Tokimi asked rhetorically.

"Don't hide it from Her Royal Highness the Princess, before this meeting, I have never heard anything about the Princess, so I can say that I don't know anything about Her Royal Highness." Asai Nagamasa said honestly.

But it doesn't matter, anyway, the existence of marriage itself is not the pursuit of so-called personal feelings, but the pursuit of so-called common interests, so it doesn't matter if you don't know what kind of person the marriage partner is before that, as long as the interests are the same.

Of course, it would be better if there was an emotional foundation.

"Then what I say next is very important, I hope that after listening to it, you can still keep your original thoughts, sign a marriage contract with me, and form a so-called alliance of interests." Toki Mimasa Colorway.

"Princess, please speak." Asai Nagama also responded with a serious face.

"I'm not human anymore." Tokimi said lightly.

"Not human anymore? What does this mean? Asai Nagamasa carefully observed Toki Mei for a while, and Asai Nagamasa, who really didn't see any inhuman characteristics from her, frowned and wondered.

That's what it means literally. For some special reason, I've been transformed into a youkai-like inhuman being with the help of the half-guards, are you sure you can accept this and continue to marry me back home? Tokimi looked at Asai Nagamasa in the hall with a calm gaze, and asked in a calm tone.

"Why not?" Asai Nagamasa looked at Akimi Dochi, smiled, and asked with confidence in his eyes.

Isn't it just to marry a non-human existence and go home, so what does it matter? As long as there is no problem with the interest appeal, and you can save the face of yourself and the Asai family, even if you marry a live pig and go back to be a wife, there is no problem.

It's a big deal to marry and go home and give people up.

He is such an excellent person, and there is no shortage of women who like him.

"Even in the future, I'm likely to go mad, become unrecognizable, and start killing your family for no reason?" Tokimi asked after him.

"Of course. It's a big deal, we'll just move out, you can't just slash the air when no one is around, right? Asai Nagamasa's face changed when he heard this, and then he replied with a smile again.

It's just that compared to his previous smile, this smile's smile is somewhat stiff, and his words have become less confident.

"As long as you don't regret it." Tokimi said lightly.

"Don't worry, Your Royal Highness Princess, since I, Asai Nagamasa, have made this decision, I will definitely not regret my decision, even if the result is highly toxic." Asai Nagamasa said solemnly.

"Then when will I see reinforcements from the Asai family?" Tokimi didn't say anything more, but asked about something that was personally relevant.

"It's so fast that within three days, the Asai family's army will be able to enter Mino." Asai Nagamasa thought for a moment and replied.

Half a day to deliver news, half a day to organize soldiers, plus a march, it is possible to enter Mino in a day and a half at most, and arrive at the front line in two days to make contact with the troops of Imagawa or Mikawa.

"Three days is too long, we can only give you two days, if we can't see the Asai family's army in Mino after two days, then we can only treat the Asai family as a broken appointment and give up the marriage." Hearing this, the half-guard of Takenaka on the side retorted with a serious face.

"Two days...... Okay, two days is two days, I'll go back and organize the army now. Asai Nagamasa looked at Takenaka Hanbei and gritted his teeth, nodded in agreement.

"Then please."

Then Asai Nagamasa got up and took his leave, left the main hall of the council, left Inabayama Castle, and hurried back to Omi to organize the army to participate in the battle.

……

"Is it worth it......" Takenaka Hanbei asked, looking at Tokimi, who had closed her eyes and was contemplative.

"It's not worth it, after all, women always have to get married, even if I become a female daimyo now, but as long as it doesn't reach the level of Imagawa Yoshimoto, marriage is an inevitable choice for me, which is not only conducive to the stability of Mino, but also to my status." After a pause, he continued, "What's more, in the current situation, I don't seem to have a choice, right? ”

"......" Takenaka Hanbei was silent, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

Then, at this moment, a soldier entered the temple and reported, "Your Excellency, Mamoru Ando has returned, and he is asking for an audience outside the temple at this time. ”

"Uncle is back!?" Takenaka Hanbei said in surprise.

"Is he the only one?" Tokimi was surprised.

"There are two more women." The soldier replied.

"Sure enough, it's them. Call in. Tokimi smiled lightly.

"Yes."

Then the soldiers withdrew, and let An Teng Shou, Akechi Mitsuhide, and Suzume in.

"An Tengshou has seen Toki-sama." Mamoru Ando did not hesitate, and very simply greeted Tokimi, who was sitting on the main seat.

Then it was Akechi Mitsuhide and Suzume who together paid their respects to Miki Mitsuki, who became Mino's guardian.

"You've come just in time." Toki Mei looked at the three people in the hall and chuckled.

"Someone!"
