Chapter 89: Signature
Chapter 89: Signature
He looked at Nobunaga while scratching his head, although he had expected this outcome for a bit, to think she would be the one to get summoned, however, the more he thought about the more he felt that there is a reason why his system summoned Nobunaga rather than some other characters from FGO.
If the meeting between them formed some kind of connection, then that would make sense, but before confirming his theory he had to deal with his sister rather than Nobunaga, there is no doubt that his sister is currently having the shock of her life, he thought. ‘Even though, Shizuka-nee had a bright mind. Magic isn’t something that she could explain with her current knowledge and worldview.’
“Nobunaga, can you give me a moment? I have to calm my sister down, let’s talk about our reunion later.” He asked her in a polite tone that he could muster.
Nobunaga stared at him for a moment, before glancing at Shizuka, from what she could see his sister doesn’t seem to know what is happening based on what she could currently see right now, her expression says it all, then she replied. “I understand, take your time and also you don’t need to be polite with me like I said before I am a very reasonable person.”
“Heh, you speak like you are indeed a very reasonable person, however, if I didn’t know your past I would have believed you! But too bad! It’s your mistake, to you who is known as the Demon King who kills without a reason.” He said.
“Hey! It wasn’t unreasonable, I have my reasons for doing such an act, do you understand?” Nobunaga refuted, although Kyle’s words had a point, she wouldn’t admit it!
As he was about to answer, suddenly Shizuka interrupted their conversation. “Wait! Wait! You two! Can you explain what the hell is happening here?!”
Although she was still in great confusion, as someone wise, observant, and smart, just paying a bit of attention toward her brother and this mysterious girl conversation, it was obvious that her brother and this mysterious girl know each other, and it’s more than just knowing each other, probably they are friends?
Both Nobunaga and Kyle stared at her for a moment, before Nobunaga started nodding her head. “It seems that your sister wasn’t an idiot at least, she’s quick-witted and smart to figure out our relationship.”
“What do you mean?” He asked Nobunaga with confusion.
“I see, you’re an idiot at situations like this, sigh* whatever you go talk to her, you should explain the situation to her and after that, it’s my turn to ask a few questions regarding my summon.” Nobunaga turned around and made a distance so that Kyle could explain the situation to his sister.
Shizuka stared seriously at him and said. “Be sure to tell me everything! Don’t miss a single detail okay?”
“Sigh* sure, I was planning to tell you soon, but since you figured it out then I’ll start explaining, but first let me ask a question.”
“Don’t you dare to change the topic, Kyle!”
“I won’t don’t worry, it’s related.” He assured her.
“Alright, then your question?”
“Do you believe in supernatural or magic?”
Hearing this question, it was already obvious to Shizuka, she bit her thumb with a serious expression and said. “You’re telling me that magic exists?”
“That’s right, although I’m not that good, your brother is a magician and I know several types of spells, for example, this.” He cast a fireball spell, and a ball of fire that has a similar size to a basketball appeared in his palm.
Shizuka instinctively took a step back, because it was common sense to move away from a burning fire!
“Shizuka-nee doesn’t worry, it won’t burn you because cast a spell that removes the temperature of this fireball, you can take a closer look.” After seeing that, Shizuka didn’t hesitate to move her face toward the fireball on Kyle’s palm, and it’s also a proof that Shizuka trusted him so much that she didn’t even hesitate to get near the fireball.
Shizuka stared at the fireball with an intense curiosity, as a person who grew believing in science and discarding the existence of magic, to her this was a very shocking discovery to think that magic exists!
She wanted to gather information as much as she could, so she started to ask various questions with an excited expression. “What do you feel after the fireball appeared in your palm? Do you feel the heat if you remove that spell that removes the fireball temperature? Tell me the fireball temperature number, perhaps it’s the same temperature as the sun?”
Shizuka asked more questions than that, and Kyle answered her the best he could, finally several minutes later, Nobunaga couldn’t take it anymore and approached both of the siblings. “You two! When are you going to finish your question and answer session?! I’m getting bored here.”
Shizuka finally snapped out of it, and immediately apologized. “Ah, sorry I couldn’t contain my curiosity toward this so-called magic! This is a very shocking discovery for me!”
“Yeah, yeah whatever, even when I first learned magic existed I wasn’t as excited as you, so anyway you’re this guy’s sister right? Tell me your name.” Nobunaga asked, she wasn’t usually like this, she only took the initiative to ask her name because she’s Kyle’s sister, plus she thinks that Shizuka is a pretty interesting girl.
“Oh, my, where are my manners, ahem- my name is Kobayashi Shizuka as you can see I’m her elder sister, I’m a bit frustrated because he keeps this magic a secret from me, but anyway at least I got to know it now, so umm what about you what is your name?” Shizuka asked, she observed Nobunaga for a while, if she didn’t see her summoning personally, she would have thought that Nobunaga is an Otaku that had a habit of wearing a military-type cosplay, but it wasn’t the case.
“Oh? Didn’t your brother already say my name?”
“I couldn’t hear it because I was pretty nervous at that time,” Shizuka said.
Nobunaga nodded. “Umu, I see then. I shall say my name again. You better listen this time, my name is Oda Nobunaga.”
“Eh? Oda Nobunaga?” Shizuka muttered under her breath, but then her eyes widened as she thought of a possibility on her mind.
“Oda Nobunaga! Don’t tell me! Wait no…no the history book didn’t mention Oda Nobunaga as a girl, Nobunaga is obviously a man!” Shizuka was confused.
“Shizuka-nee, she’s really Oda Nobunaga, the one that is called the Fool of Owari, yeah that Nobunaga.”
“Oi!” Nobunaga stared at him with an annoyed expression.
“But…the history book never mentioned Oda Nobunaga as a girl!”
“That’s right in our world, Oda Nobunaga is obviously a man, but what about an alternative parallel world where Oda Nobunaga is a woman, you should understand what I mean right?”
Shizuka stared at Nobunaga with awe! To think this is the legendary ma- no woman that almost succeeded in uniting the entire japan!
The famous Oda Nobunaga from the annals of history! To think that she could meet a famous historical figure personally! Shizuka took out a pen and paper from who knows where she exclaimed. “I’m a fan! Please give me your signature!”
Nobunaga was confused by Shizuka’s change of attitude, but more importantly what the heck does she mean by giving her my signature?
Seeing the confusion on her Nobunaga’s face, Kyle decided to explain. “She wanted your writing because she admired you.”
“My writing? Does she admire me? Why? Back from my era was feared rather than being admired!” Nobunaga couldn’t understand why anyone would admire her, a mass murderer.
“That’s right, but that it’s only in the past now things have changed. Many people treat you as a hero rather than a cold mass murderer, for starters why not write your name on the paper.”
Although Nobunaga couldn’t understand the situation very much, she followed his words and wrote her name in Shizuka’s paper.
Shizuka almost screamed in joy, although she tried to hide it but she’s actually a big fan of history, it was one of her favorite subjects and one of the most famous historical figures in japan gave her a personal signature!
She wanted to treasure this, she looked at Nobunaga’s writing, now she was 100% sure that this girl in front of her is Oda Nobunaga, since her writing style is the same as their historical Oda Nobunaga, and she is aware that if this were to be seen by Japanese historian, they would really go crazy after all Oda Nobunaga signature is considered as a national treasure.
