Story

Ever since the military expeditions, Honda had seized tracts of land for his family and people. There was bloodshed wherever he went. As time went by, he gradually forgot what he had been fighting for in the first place…

That day was just another usual day in the war. As the major general, Honda took the lead and charged at the enemy with his naginata slaying countless people along the way; even his inky black hilt was stained with crimson.

Honda rampaged through the battlefield nonstop like a ferocious devil as though he was avoiding something until he saw an adolescent soldier standing before him. The soldier was standing in oversized armor with his sword, which was not yet bloodstained, pointing at Honda shakily.

Numerous images flashed across Honda’s mind at that moment—he was also standing at the town gate in loose-fitting armor, fighting against the invaders when he was still a teen many years ago.

Countless children of his age died on that battlefield. Even so, there was no return because they had to protect their home. The only thing they could do was to fight with their lives and shed blood. In the end, they won, even though it was a pyrrhic victory.

In order to avoid another tragedy like that, Honda’s father put more effort into military training; he even went on expeditions to show aggression and won several wars successively. However, the purpose of the marches slowly changed after ensuing triumphs—their clan kept moving forward and invaded more land as if everyone was driven by some kind of invisible desire.

Even Honda had forgotten that all he wanted to do in the beginning was just protect his homeland so that he could live a peaceful life.

The boy in front of him was just like his younger self back then. Honda’s naginata stopped in mid-air, yet the boy’s sword didn’t stop—his katana thrust deeply into Honda’s abdomen; it went so deep that only the hilt remained outside.

Honda: “What… am I really fighting for…”

The enemy all charged at Honda when they saw him injured. Honda, whose survival instinct was aroused, swung his naginata unwittingly and broke out of the siege with his body seriously bruised and wounded. In the end, he fell at the foot of a barren mountain overwhelmed by unbearable pain…

Story

As the fragrance of food awakened Honda from a coma, he abruptly sat up straight. Yet he moved too fast and accidentally pulled the wounds that gave him excruciating pain. He only had the strength to check on himself after the pain had worn off. Much to his surprise, all his wounds had been treated.

Honda: “Someone saved me…”

Just then, footsteps came, followed by a woman walking into the room with a pot of soup in her hands. She showed a radiant smile when she found that Honda was awake.

Woman: Great! You’re finally awake!

Under the afternoon sunlight, the woman’s smile was as warm as a torch on a biting winter’s night and reignited Honda’s heart which had been frozen for years. With his blood rushing through his body and his heart thudding loudly, Honda simply couldn’t take his eyes off the woman’s face.

At that moment, Honda didn’t know that feeling was called “falling in love”. Having no idea that his heart had been stolen by the smile of this woman before him, he put his hand over his pulsating chest in a slight panic with a hint of bewilderment on his masculine face.

Honda: “What is wrong with me? Is it because of the injury… No, I don’t feel anything strange other than the little pain around the wounds…”

Seeing the stunned Honda, the woman wore a worried frown. She then put down the pot, walked to the bed and bent towards him. Startled by her approach, Honda felt a hot blush come to his cheeks.

Woman: What’s wrong? Not feeling well?

Honda: No-no, I’m fine!

Honda: “What am I doing?! Stop embarrassing yourself!”

Honda: Thank you for saving me. I’m Honda Tadakatsu, may I know your name?

Mori: Um… Mori, my name is Mori.

In fact, Mori didn’t have a name. She never needed one as she was an elf born of the forest. However, she named herself so as to communicate with this man in front of her. Mori had avoided any interaction with humans all along because she had a perception that humans were all scary and devious creatures.

Even Mori didn’t know why she saved Honda. Maybe it was the suffering look on his face when he was having a nightmare that aroused her compassion, or perhaps it was the first moment she laid eyes on him that sent ripples to her quiet heart…

Story

Lying on the grass, Honda looked upon the azure sky. It was only until then did he realize that it had been years since he had felt so relaxed.

Honda: “Now that I’m looking back, I can see that there was nothing else in my life other than wars.”

Suddenly, Honda heard the sound of someone stepping on the grass not far away. It was Mori, who was going into the forest with a basket to pick some mushrooms. Honda immediately got up and said.

Honda: Mori, I’ll go with you.

Mori: But your wounds…

Honda: I’m totally fine! I can even do a hundred backflips in a row now!

Mori: Haha, that’s impressive.

Seeing the smile on Mori’s face, Honda felt his heart throbbing again. His whole body was as if bathed in the warm sunlight which soothed his unsettled heart and made him realize his feelings for Mori.

Honda: “Mori is different from everybody else… Yeah, I like her, and I want her to be my woman…”

As Honda finally caught on to his feelings, he started pursuing Mori enthusiastically. His ardent care and tenderness soon touched Mori’s heart. The relationship between the two speedily heated up with affection deepened as time went by. With a silent agreement not to talk about the future, the two loved and lived passionately every day as if it was their last.

However, the day that they had to face reality eventually came.

Retainers: Young Master, we’re here to take you home.

Even though Honda’s retainers had tried their very best to conceal his absence, they could no longer hide the truth as time passed. The feudal lords nearby were already waiting for a chance to start a war. Luckily, they finally found Honda with their untiring perseverance.

Seeing the retainers who were shedding tears of joy, Honda knew that he had no other option.

Honda: “How I wish that these days would never change.”

Honda: I’ve got it. I’ll get packed and go back with you.

Story

So Honda went back to the shack, in front of which Mori was already standing, as if she had known that something was gonna happen. As usual, she gave Honda a warm smile that filled the latter’s eyes with sudden tears and a bitter lump in his throat.

Honda: Mori… I——

Mori: You’re leaving.

Mori said placidly, but the slightly trembling hands clasped in front of her torn her disguise apart.

Honda: I have to go back.

Mori: But… Do you wanna go back?

Honda: No, but I have to.

Mori: Then why?

Honda: There are some people and things that I will be haunted by guilt for the rest of my life if I just leave them behind.

Mori: How silly you are…

Honda: Oh well, I was never a smart person so I can only go with the dumbest way.

Mori: Yeah, I know. That’s exactly the man I’ve fallen in love with.

Honda: Mori…

Mori: I’ll go with you.

Honda: Re-really? You-you are not kidding, right?

Mori: No, I’m not——Ahh!

Honda was filled with such happiness that he held Mori in his arms and spun around. Looking at the man who smiled like a silly fool, Mori couldn’t help but also smiled brightly. The two were so overjoyed that little did they know that their road ahead would be paved with adversities.

As Honda returned to his homeland, the morale of his clan was restored. Together they repulsed the invasion from the neighboring clans and he officially became the new feudal lord. As soon as Honda came to the throne, he immediately changed the clan’s policy from aggressive to defensive, which provoked discontent among the radicals who thus went mad and tried to find everything that could help them overthrow Honda.

Inevitably, Mori’s identity became the key. Not wanting to put Honda in a difficult position, Mori left Honda soon after giving birth to their daughter, Komatsuhime, and left a letter in which she revealed the truth of her being an elf.

Honda thought that Mori went back to her home in the forest. Yet, he found that he was wrong after revisiting the place—Mori wasn’t there. Much to his dismay, he couldn’t just leave his home and Komatsuhime behind so he could only keep sending people to find Mori. Still, his wife was nowhere to be found.

Until one day after Komatsuhime had grown up and got married, a mysterious man suddenly showed up in front of him.

Man: I have a way to help you find your wife, but it comes with a price.

Honda: …Whatever the price is, I must find her!
