Character Notes:

The majority of the characters will both from Shin Koihime Musou and Sengoku Koihime; both are from the visual novel published by Baseson. They are characters that have been adapted from both historical and fictional accounts of the Three Kingdoms Era in China and the Warring States Period in Japan.

Here are brief descriptions for characters mentioned so people will have some idea who I'm writing about since Sengoku Koihime does not have an English translation. Not all summaries will be accurate, and some will be slightly altered to better fit this story. Please be warned that there are possibly spoilers for the games if you have not read them at all as this story will be set after the events of Sengoku Koihime.

Notes for Various Terminology

There will be some reoccurring terminology in this story that may need a brief explanation.

Heavenly Being of Dengaku Hazama:

After the Battle at Dengaku Hazama, Kensuke was transported there after touching the mysterious katana in his Uncle's storeroom. He was given the title of the Heavenly Being of Dengaku Hazama because people believed he came from the Heavens.

Kensuke Regiment/Kensuke-tai:

Kensuke was given this command of this regiment by Kuon when he volunteered to help with Kuon's first campaign against Inabayama Castle. At first the Kensuke Regiment was more for support instead of frontline combat. However, as each member had their own skillsets, Kensuke Regiment was a specialized unit that focused on investigation, support, and castle sieging. They also eventually became one of the largest gun regiments out of all the armies.

Demons:

Demons suddenly appeared after Kensuke's arrival to Kuon's world. After meeting Erika, it was thought that a person named Xavier was the reason behind the demons. Eventually, it turned out to be misdirection as Xavier never existed in the first place. This led to the confrontation against Erika to defeat the demons. With her defeat, the demons disappeared.

Tenka Fubu:

Translated to mean Unite All Under Heaven under Military Might, Kuon proclaimed this decree in order to unite every available military force to fight against the demons. Thus she stated that anyone who is willing to fight against the demons will be considered a candidate to be Kensuke's wife or concubine.

The Battle of Kanegasaki:

When it was said that Echizen Province fell to demons, Kuon used Tenka Fubu to help gather allies to retake the province and kill the demon leader. The forces of Oda, Matsudaira, Asai, Asakura, and Mouri rallied to the call at the time. At first, the siege at Kanegasaki fortress seem successful as the demons "retreated" away, yet it turned out to be a major trap as they ambushed all of the forces with an underground attack. Kensuke stayed behind to defend the retreat of their forces and went a different path to bait the rest of the demons to follow his regiment instead. This eventually led Kensuke to Miku as she saved him and his forces after crossing the river to escape the demons.

Special Technique:

A powerful technique unique that is often taught within the same house or clan. Examples are Kazuha's Sanzen Sekai, Hikari's Fuurinkazan, and Miku's Bishamonten. It requires the power of person's spirit to use, which means that some techniques can only be used several times a day before needing to fully cover.

Okashira:

It means boss. Kensuke Regiment often refer to him as the Okashira.

Nushi-sama:

It means husband. It is what Kazuha refers Kensuke as after marrying him.
