Even the internet-addicted girl Asuna knew that was Toyotomi Hideyoshi's old name.

She hadn't expected some Japanese people wouldn't even know such common knowledge.

That was the peerless general Toyotomi Hideyoshi, hailed as one of the Three Great Unifiers of Japan, who implemented the separation of soldiers and farmers, ended the Sengoku period's chaos, and completed the reunification of Japan!

"Shouldn't the biggest question be why Kojiro knows Toyotomi Hideyoshi?"

Kisaragi Hanabi grumbled.

Tachibana Marika also pondered, "Kojiro is a swordsaint from folklore, and Toyotomi Hideyoshi is a famous general from historical records. The two have absolutely no connection~."

"No, while it might seem unbelievable, they did live in the same era."

Oregi Houtarou said calmly, "Toyotomi Hideyoshi was born in 1536 and died on September 18, 1598. His active period was at the end of the Sengoku era."

"As for Sasaki Kojiro, although records are scarce, his age can be determined by the time of his duel with Musashi. Musashi was born in 1584, at the end of the Sengoku period..."

"But when he dueled the young Musashi, Kojiro was already over sixty years old."

"This means Kojiro was naturally born about forty years before Musashi, around 1544, which was exactly eight years after Hideyoshi's birth."

"Both living in Japan, both outstanding figures of the same era, it's normal for them to have met."

"So that's how it is."

Everyone suddenly understood.

So this was why Kinoshita Hideyoshi prepared Miyamoto Musashi's Saint Graph but summoned Sasaki Kojiro?

With their surnames and appearances being almost identical, it wasn't strange to summon a friend.

"Wait, if that's the case, then the peerless general Toyotomi Hideyoshi is also a trap?!"

Someone suddenly exclaimed in shock.

In an instant.

The countless noisy voices stopped, and people stared silently in that direction.

Toyotomi Hideyoshi was a beautiful trap?

The image was too much to even imagine...

"What trap? That's my wife!!"

The idiotic handsome boy Akihisa Yoshii shouted loudly, breaking the dead silence.

"Not a trap, Hideyoshi's gender is Hideyoshi!!" Yuji Sakamoto, also an idiot, retorted loudly.

"Scary... they're into futanari."

Under the muttering of a little green-haired loli, everyone couldn't help but shiver, exchanged glances, and tacitly moved a bit further away from the two.

The serene and quiet BGM music drowned out their conversation.

It wasn't until the brown-haired beautiful girl had an epiphany that the picture regained sound.

["So that's how it is... What happened afterwards?"]

["Afterwards, I went into the deep mountains to seek the end of the sword path, and lost contact with Tōkichirō."]

[Hearing this, Kinoshita Hideyoshi said with some regret, "That's a real shame."]

["I don't think so."]

[Kojiro shook his head nonchalantly and laughed freely, "Swordsmen have their limits, and must cut ties with worldly affairs. Within the span of a life, one pursues the infinity of the sword path; training is our daily life, until the moment the ultimate blade is forged."]

["If I had your dedication, Kojiro, I might have a chance to contend for the Pride now..."]

[Hideyoshi sighed, looking at the blue-clad swordsman with more respect.]

["Just call me Kojiro, Master."]

[Kojiro smiled calmly, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.]

"Damn it, at least finish telling us!"

"What exactly happened between Sasaki Kojiro and Toyotomi Hideyoshi?!"

"I hate it when people only tell half the story..."

"Being a riddle-master again, huh?"

"We still don't know what that pangolin said that day..."

"So what did the pangolin say?"

"Doesn't matter, doujinshi will provide the answer."

Amidst the complaints from people all over the world, the screen continued.

["Kojiro, can you show me your strength?"]

["Since Master wishes to see, there's no harm in me demonstrating."]

The swordsman in blue smiled faintly, and before Hideyoshi's astonished eyes, his Servant's status panel appeared.

"So strong... just as expected of the Sword Saint!"

Hideyoshi exclaimed, then her pretty face broke into a confident smile. "Kojiro, we've already won."

Kojiro's expression was serious. "I shall give it my all."

The camera gradually faded, and under the leisurely background music, it shifted to the next pair of Servants.

"Don't jinx it!"

In the Sky Screen world, Kinoshita Hideyoshi covered her face, lamenting with a sorrowful expression.

She could already picture herself confidently charging forward, only to have her face brutally slapped.

28. The Hound of Ulster, a Sharp Detective!

[Two days ago.]

[Fuyuki City, the tourist spot Iwai Beach.]

[It was noisy and bustling, filled with bikini-clad beauties with perky butts, exuding temptation.]

[On the shore, a man in a tight blue outfit held a fishing rod and complained, "Hey, Master, there are plenty of beauties over there. Isn't it stupid for us to be hiding here fishing? What kind of beach can you even catch fish on!"]

["It's not my fault you scared all the beauties away, leaving me with nothing."]

[Not far away, a middle-aged detective with a small mustache grumbled resentfully, "Ever since I summoned you, I've been in terrible luck. I haven't charmed a single woman, nor caught a single fish..."]

["Huh? You're blaming me for that? What woman would like a greasy old man!"]

[The Servant, who descended as the Lancer Class, was stunned.]

[In all his long existence, this was the first time he had ever seen such a shameless man.]

["If you weren't an eyesore in front of me, the great detective Kogoro Mori, those beauties would definitely be lining up to take pictures with me!"]

[Facing the disdainful gaze, the middle-aged man with a handlebar mustache said confidently and dismissively.]

[It could be seen that the two were indeed a rather unfortunate pair of partners.]

At this moment, as the scenes flashed by, people all over the world were laughing hysterically.

"This is too outrageous. A valiant and skilled hero paired with a narcissistic, greasy old man. The scene is just too beautiful."

"So hilarious! It's even more 'harmonious' than the Archer duo!"

"Holy Grail War? Idiot's War!"

"I never expected a Servant of the prestigious Three Knight Classes to be treated like this!"

"This detective looks so familiar! I think I've seen him in Beika Town!"

"I've seen him too. His name is Kogoro Mori, right? He always seems so laid-back."

"Lancer is really handsome. His looks would make him a national heartthrob nowadays."

"My rating is that he's not as good as Luo-jun."

"They each have their own merits. Compared to Luo-jun, who's so calm and collected, like a young master who has everything under control, I prefer this kind of heroic warrior full of wildness."

"I haven't seen the Observer Net. Can someone introduce me to this Servant?"

"His name is Cú Chulainn, the legendary 'Child of Light' from Ireland, and one of the most valiant heroes in Celtic Mythology."

"In Irish, Cú Chulainn also means 'fierce hound'."

"His father was the sun god, and his mother was human, so he's a demigod."

"Whoa, really?"

"That's not all! According to the epic 'Táin Bó Cúailnge', Cú Chulainn was invincible on the battlefield. When he started fighting, his body would transform into a monster with a gaping maw, its corners stretching to its ears. Many people died just from seeing his appearance..."

"Damn, isn't that just the ultimate tough guy!"

"His rational form is a handsome guy, and his berserk form is a fierce hound. I love it!"

"No, a Servant is just one aspect of a Heroic Spirit. The monstrous Cú Chulainn described above only appears when summoned as the Berserker Class. As Lancer, he always maintains his reason."

"Isn't that even better?"

["Honestly, how did you even manage to summon me..."]

[Cú Chulainn pouted, unable to help complaining, "You're the kind of guy who sticks his tongue out when he sees a woman. How can such a pathetic man be my Master?"]

["How would I know this whole Holy Grail War thing was real!"]
