konpeito_aji: (Now what?)

Because she doesn't exist.

Though, even if she did exist, she couldn't talk anyway. She took the form of a wolf, after being the soul of the sun. At best, her descendants might have been able to translate for her, but again, that would require humans to believe them, or faith and trust, or whatever. [And Nobunaga is more than confident enough that he's eroded that to ineffectual at best.]

Though I suppose maybe I took the easy route in it all. I never asked anyone to believe in me. Pretty much the opposite. "I'll be the Demon King, conquer the God of war, and all the others," then it's up to Ieyasu and Hideyoshi to finish the healing part.

You know, all my time here, it never really bothered me that I wasn't there seeing it through. For almost everyone else, it's ancient history. They think I died, that Mitsuhide killed me, and so on. He didn't... But sometimes I do wonder if I only got here, because of how much I wanted to escape it all. Coming back here for the healing part... now that's pretty ironic.
