After Falling Into a Honmaru Full of Obsessive Men

01.

In the blink of an eye, the scene before me changed completely.

Looking out the window, I could see a very typical Japanese garden.

So typical it felt strangely familiar. This was... a honmaru?

"Yes, this is your honmaru." A familiar voice sounded behind me. It was Heshikiri Hasebe.

He looked exactly as I remembered him from the game.

02.

When I came down from the keep, it wasn't nearly as lively outside as I had imagined.

The short blades who should have been making a racket around the honmaru, the dependable tachi, and even my starter sword, Yamanbagiri Kunihiro, were nowhere to be seen.

"..." Heshikiri Hasebe gave me a smile that made me a little uneasy.

"The others are still asleep. Please come this way, my lord."

03.

Everyone was successfully awakened by my spiritual power. During this time, I've gotten along fairly well with the sword warriors.

To be honest, compared to the anxiety of having transmigrated, I even think this life is pretty nice.

Back in my original world, no one cared whether I existed or not anyway.

"My lord?" Shokudaikiri Mitsutada's voice came from outside the door. "Today's sweets have arrived. Don't work too hard."

See? This kind of gentleness... It's wonderful, isn't it?

04.

They seem to have a special set of memories that I don't.

This isn't the first time. Whether it's Hasebe, who was already very devoted to his lord, or Gokotai, who should have been so reserved, they both give me looks that seem almost predatory.

"Don't you remember?" Tsurumaru Kuninaga wraps his arms around my waist and rests his chin on my shoulder. He seems to be acting pitiful, but his tone is teasing.

"My lord said I was the one you loved most."

I never said that.

05.

...Should I run?

"You can't escape."
