Why did it make me laugh so much?
Mai thinking about Nobu on Kicho's route.
I just imagined Nobu walking into her room with his masculine, domineering aura, took the teddy bear, without taking his eyes off Mai, and calmly left. It's like with candy… too silly.
Actually, that explains why Bearsace in Nobu's room. He just took it away.

Ikemen Sengoku Modern AU
Boys as various university professors or teachers--
I'm not elaborating it much for now
Maybe there would be updates idk--
Oda forces
→ Nobunaga Oda (Academic Head/Economics teacher)
He's gonna have a separate drawer in his office FILLED with candies
That drawer has a lock on it all the time (he doesn't want Hideyoshi to find out about it)
→ Hideyoshi Toyotomi (history teacher)
Really looks up to the department head
Very patient with all the students and will help each and every single one of them :)
You'd see him in the halls A LOT
so be careful. If you get caught breaking the rules you WILL be lectured by him
He keeps a check on every teacher's health too- also he would tell you to take it easy if he sees that you're not well
Also pretty good at giving motivational speech
→ Mitsuhide Akechi (computer science)
Okay hear me out. This man will be GOOD with computers and technology.
The event stories prove it
He's the teacher you'll go to every time there's something wrong with your iPad
And he WILL tease you endlessly
→ Mitsunari Ishida (Maths teacher)
For obvious reasons.
Our clumsy but very smart angel.
He'll be very kind. And calmly teach you if you're having trouble with a math problem no matter how many times you come to him
But no matter what you do, you won't be able to get his attention if he's reading
The janitor has caught him several times in the library reading books in a secluded corner when it's late in the night
Librarians sometimes have to kick him out
→ Masamune Date (food tech)
Yes.
I think it's self explanatory (I don't have anything to say about him I'm sorry-)
You'd always. ALWAYS. catch him at the farmers market.
→ Ieyasu Tokugawa (Biology/ chemistry teacher)
Yes.
He knows his stuff when it comes to plant and medicine
He'd be very cranky if you come to his with a question but he will answer it in full detail
He does NOT like the math teacher
The math teacher and the physics teacher seem to constantly fawn over him which he does not enjoy.
→ Keiji Maeda (Drama/music teacher)
Pretty self explanatory this one.
He and the literature teacher are good friends :3
Best friends in fact.
He's the cheery teacher. Very enthusiastic.
→ Ranmaru Mori (teacher assistant)
The principal's assistant to be more specific
Running around doing errands for Nobunaga. Looks very cute and is very helpful
The students love him
Kasugayama forces
→ Kenshin Uesugi (specialist PE teacher/sports department head)
Martial arts. Fencing. Horse riding. Swimming. Sword fighting. You name it
This guys knows EVERYTHING
he trains students in these sports for competitions.
The group sports activities go to the other gym teacher
Very cold. And seems very rude and icy. But will teach you if you ask for his help
Also do NOT expect him to go easy on you
It's your first time learning judo? Will TOO bad. You will be thoroughly beaten up by this guy
→Shingen Takeda (DT/department head)
The hot teacher who's at the carpentry workshop
Many students attend the workshop JUST to see him
Very nice. Flirt to everything that breathes
Loves sweets just like the academics Department head.
But doesn't like Nobunaga at all
→Yukimura Sanada (PE teacher)
The worst PE teacher you'll ever have 💀
Doesn't know how to talk to students or teachers which result in him getting some pretty snarky comments
Is in charge of preparing sports teams for sports competitions
Does not like Kenshin's guys but has to put up with them
He's best friends with the physics teacher and they sometimes show experiments together (yuki is the lab rat of course)
→Sasuke Sarutoki (Physics teacher)
That fun physics teacher that shows experiments in the class
Uses memes in his lectures
All his lectures are extremely fun
The students are often confused as to how does he always has a straight face
The PE teacher is his guinea pig at times
The sports department head has some beef with him for some reason
→ Yoshimoto Imagawa (Arts teacher)
The guy LOVES art and appreciates it to his fullest
This job was MEANT for him
Will appreciate your art and also give you pointers if you ask for it
Very charming
Students fawn over him
Has a very soothing voice along with a pretty face
→ Kanetsugu Naoe (Literature teacher)
Teaches English along with Japanese
Very strict
He's pretty and has little fangs but the students are afraid of him
A very good teacher
But also does some very strict marking in tests
Do not try to fight with him cause he will point out all the grammatic errors
Lone forces
→ Kicho (linguistics teacher)
Teaches other foreign languages
Like French, Chinese, Korean, Spanish, German, arabic, Russian. You name it.
This guy is a genius
He and the computer tech teacher are cousins
Seems very tired always (cough blackholes cough)
→ Motonari Mouri (portugese teacher)
Yes.
No comment on him.
Those who know him well will probably get it.
Will teach you every single curse word there is >:D
→ Kennyo (History teacher/ religious studies)
He does not like how modern studies are taking over
No phones allowed in his class
Very calm but also hella intimidating
Uhhh- does not put up well with the Computer tech teacher's antiques
Usually eats alone outside with cats.
Animals love him <3
Mai
→ Mai Mitsuzaki (Textiles teacher)
Das right. Mah girl gets her own category
The most fashionable teacher on campus
Everyone loves her
Shingen, Masa and she are the DT trio
Will teach you all there is to know about clothes and fashion
Designs the best clothes
She should be a designer.

Fateful Love in Motion (Prologue)
Translations may not always capture the exact nuances or tone of the original text. Expect grammatical errors and inaccuracies.
This is the story of a princess from a small country, trapped like a caged bird, who meets her destined partner.
(The day has finally come.)
I was walking down the mansion's corridor with a heavy heart.
(I really want to escape from here right now, but...)
The thought that the survival of my family rested on my shoulders made it difficult to abandon everything.
------------Flashback-----------
Father: "You are of marriageable age now. You need to get yourself a husband."
Mai: "What?"
A month ago, my father, with whom I had hardly interacted, suddenly summoned me and said that.
(He lived in a separate mansion and hasn't sent a single letter since my mother passed away.)
Mai: "I'm sorry, Father. I haven't been able to find a suitable partner yet."
Father: "Don't worry. I've chosen some excellent men for you."
(What's that supposed to mean?)
Father: "If there aren't enough guys, I'll bring in more. You can have as many men as you like."
Mai: "Wait! Why are you making such an important decision on your own?"
Mai: "Who are these 'excellent' men? And why are there several of them?"
Father: "You're my only child. It's better to have many to increase our bloodline."
Mai: "Are you saying I should take multiple husbands?"
Father: "Exactly."
(----!)
I felt the blood drain from my face, understanding the implication of my father's words.
Since I was an only child, I had been prepared to be told to bear children, but I never thought he'd use me like this.
(I don't want to be embraced by numerous men, and I don't want to be used as a political tool either.)
(But running away from Father would mean abandoning my responsibility as a princess.)
(If you ask me if I made the right decision...)
Father: "You're not going to argue with my decision, are you?"
Mai: "No, of course not."
Father: "Good, as long as you understand."
Father: "I’ve already gathered the men in a special mansion."
Father: "You will live with them and ensure our lineage by bearing children."
---------Flashback Ends--------
Thus, he prepared the mansion known as the "Ooku," where the men were staying.
(I wonder what kind of people these guys are.)
Vassal: "Princess, it's time!"
He shouted and instantly opened the door.
(Whoa!)
The brilliance was so overwhelming that it made my head spin.
Everywhere I looked, there were handsome gentlemen.
(There are so many of them!)
Despite feeling dizzy from nervousness, I somehow managed to make my way to the inner chamber.
I took my seat in the designated place, and the men of the Ōoku lined up in the hall.
Nobunaga: "So, you’re Princess Mai. I've heard about you."
Mai: "Y-Yes. And you are?"
Nobunaga: "I'm Nobunaga. I belong to the Seiya Group and oversee this Ōoku."
Mai: "Seiya Group?"
Yukimura: "Huh? Did you come here without knowing anything?"
Ranmaru: "It can't be helped. Lady Mai seems to have a lot going on in her life."
Shingen: "Well then, let's explain the workings of the Ooku briefly."
Kennyo: "First, let's explain the groups, then we can show you around the mansion."
Mai: "Groups? Are the roles divided based on kimono styles?"
Sasuke: "Exactly. Lady Mai, you're quite perceptive."
I received immediate praise and felt a little relieved.
Yoshimoto: "As you said, the Ōoku is divided into three groups."
Mitsunari: "Those dressed like me belong to the Seiya Group. We're responsible for internal affairs within the Ōoku."
Hideyoshi: "Those in the same attire as me belong to the Suimei Group. Primarily, we are your attendants."
Kanetsugu: "Wearing this attire makes us part of the Fūgetsu Group. Everyone here excels in the arts."
Mai: "I understand the roles in internal affairs and caretaking, but why arts?"
Ieyasu: "Why? To entertain you, of course."
Masamune: "Each of us must capture your heart with our talents."
Mai: "Huh?"
My heart skipped a beat as they directed powerful gazes toward me.
Mitsuhide: "Oh dear, why are you surprised? Surely you understand your own situation by now."
Kenshin: "You're in constant demand from the seventeen men here."
Mai: "That's..."
(I thought I understood Father's intentions and my own position, but...)
Whenever they put it into words, I felt like I was being pushed into a cage and wanted to run away right now.
Keiji: "Whoa, ease up a bit. You'll scare the princess, you know?"
Kicho: "But we can't just leave her in the dark. It would be troublesome if she continued to live unaware of her position as a princess."
Motonari: "He's right, so you better brace yourself, Princess."
Mai: "I..."
I desperately wanted to escape from this situation.
I never intended on getting involved with any of them, let alone falling in love. Yet, as I spent time with them in the Ōoku, I ended up falling in love.

She's so cute
(Hold out her hand)
Come on, fishie… Jump, jump…
After that, Mitsu would probably decide that she was too crazy for him. Although I think it's cutely silly…

Ikesen Boys React to a Tattooed MC pt 5
Thank you again to @otomedad for this fantastic idea ^_^ This one has Kennyo, Motonari, and Kicho! Approx. 2300 words of tattoo and MC appreciation!
Kennyo
Kennyo stops, his mouth opening and then closing again. It isn’t often that you get to see the abbot at a loss for words. You file the expression away to savor later.
“What is it,” you ask, gentle laughter in your voice. You know what it is, of course. Though you hadn’t expected quite this reaction. It’s really quite precious.
“Is that -” His gravelly voice gives out and he takes a moment to clear his throat. “Is that a buddha?” He gestures to your bare shoulder.
You glance at the tattoo and suppress a grin. “Oh! No, this is a portrait of my auntie.”
Kennyo’s eyebrows rise and a small divot forms in between. “Your auntie?”
The image is clearly an Amitābha Buddha surrounded by the petals of a lotus flower. While you aren’t the type to randomly tattoo religious iconography, the buddha always meant something special to you. Seeing your ink brings back memories of copying out sutras and meditating with your grandmother. The peace and serenity, the promise of better things . . . but you can’t help yourself teasing the abbot.
“Mmm. Did I say auntie? Maybe it’s my uncle. What do you think?” You look back at him, entertained by the series of emotions crossing his face. Some find Kennyo hard to read, but you’ve learned his little quirks. The slight shift of his lips or brows, the depths of his grey eyes.
Kennyo crosses the distance between you and peers at your tattoo closely. His eyelashes brush your skin just a breath before his lips follow. “I think you’re teasing me. Wicked woman.” The air between you thickens with tension from the intensity of his gaze and the subtle humor in his voice.
“Wicked?” You turn to face him, your eyes wide and pretending at innocence.
His eyes crinkle at the corners from the wide smile that lights up his harsh features and turns them soft and kind. “You mock me.”
Your cheeks grow warm under his regard. The gentle admonition of his words leaves you feeling a tiny bit guilty. “Ok, yes. It’s not a family member.” You look away, trying to think of how best to explain the tattoo, what it means to you. Why you got it done. Honest expression is hard, especially with someone like Kennyo.
His rough thumb brushes your cheek. “You need not explain yourself.” His fingertips drift along the curve of your neck to brush the inked skin of your shoulder. “It is beautiful. Unexpected. Like you.”
You cannot help the shiver of pleasure that runs through you at his touch. He is so decently indecent that it is maddening. “I want you to understand though,” you reply, and pull yourself together. “I got it a few years after my grandmother died. She - she wouldn’t have approved of a tattoo but . . . I wanted something special. A way to remember her, and the things she brought to my life. Faith and peace and . . . just that feeling I would get, at the temple with her.”
Kennyo nods, and presses a kiss to your shoulder. “Admirable intent.”
“Do you really like it?” You can’t help the way your insecurity infects your words. You don’t often open up to anyone, preferring to deflect and joke.
“I do. Though I wonder if it is heretical to find you so . . . intoxicating.”
You glance over your shoulder to meet his gaze. The heat in his eyes sends another shiver through you. “I should probably -” you gesture toward the door and all the work awaiting both of you on the other side.
“Probably,” he agrees, pulling you into his arms.
Motonari
Your head breaks the surface of the water with a splash. You splutter and gag, spitting out the salty taste of the sea as you try to get your bearings. None of which is helped by the smirking laughter of a certain pirate as he bobs in the water nearby.
“I really hate you sometimes,” you mutter, glaring at him from under the ruins of your wet hair. The weight of your wet kimono is pulling you down, so you wriggle out of it.
Motonari grabs your floating clothes. “Don’t much care how you feel right now, princess. We gotta swim to shore.”
“Obviously,” you huff. “But I’m pretty sure we could have taken one of your little boats. You didn’t have to throw me overboard.”
He chuckles. “‘Course not. That part was for fun.”
You sigh, realizing your glare is getting you nowhere. “Fine.” You start for shore with Motonari at your side. Despite saying he didn’t care, you can feel his gaze on you as he stays by your side until your feet touch the sand. And once you arrive, he guides you over to a shady spot to rest.
“Have a sip o’ this.” Motonari holds out a flask.
“What is it?” You reach for the proffered drink. “Rum?” Afterall, pirates drink rum, right?
“Aguardente de medronho. Try it.”
Just as your hand reaches the flask, Motonari grabs your arm, gloved fingers wrapping around your wrist. “What’s that, princess?”
You instinctively pull back, but he doesn’t let go. Instead, he turns your arm to look at the inner side. You realize he must have noticed your tattoo, small as it is. There at the crook of your elbow is a line in the shape of a wave. Easy to overlook, as you intended. Something for you, not to share.
“Would you let go?” You pull again, but to no avail.
Motonari squints at the design, leaning close. “Didja steal something and get caught?”
“What? No!” You can’t help the horrified expression on your face. “I’m not a criminal!”
His gloved fingertip traces the delicate lines and whorls of the wave. The sensation is oddly intimate, and you feel a rush of unexpected warmth. “Nothin’ wrong with being a thief. It’s the getting caught part. Disappointin’.”
“Motonari! I didn’t get caught. I paid for that tattoo. On purpose. From an artist!”
He turns his head to regard your expression, a playful smirk hiding in the corners of his lips. You realize right then that he’s teasing you. “Huh. I’m tempted to believe ya. Your head’s too full of flowers to be a criminal mind.”
You find yourself pulled into his garnet gaze, unable to look away. He’s so close, and you are suddenly very aware of how little clothing you have on, and how little it conceals when its sopping wet. You are half naked on a beach with a mad pirate that thinks he owns you. And instead of being afraid or angry, you are enjoying the banter.
“What’s the matter? All them flowers getting in the way of talking?” The smirk breaks free, turning into a broad, carefree smile.
“N-no!” You take a breath and look away. “Just trying to find the smallest words I can use to explain a tattoo to you.”
Motonari laughs again, the sound a pleasant and low. “I’ve seen plenty of tattoos. Just never one on a woman.”
“Well, where I come from it’s not uncommon.” You glance back at him and realize he hasn’t moved. If anything, he seems even closer now.
“Huh. So why’d you get one?”
You nod, trying to gather your thoughts. Motonari is so frustratingly distracting. It isn’t fair that he is so pretty. And to be honest, you’d rather think about that than explain your tattoo. But he asked.
“I . . . umm. I went through some rough times. Me and my dad. There were times after mom died that I - I felt like we would never be happy. That -” You swallow, remembering the feelings of helplessness. The sense that there was no point to anything. Waking up and just wishing you were still asleep because it hurt to be awake.
Motonari’s thumb strokes the side of your arm, far more gentle a gesture than you would have expected from the brash pirate.
“A-anyway, I wanted to remind myself that storms come and go. Something small and just for me, that I would always have. So I could look at it when I feel hopeless and just remember that this will pass and things will get better.” You clear your throat, trying to pretend telling him this is no big deal. Hoping the dampness in your eyes doesn’t give you away.
“Huh.”
You catch his gaze again and there is something unexpectedly soft in the scarlet depths of his eyes. The smirk has fallen away, and his lips part as if he is about to speak. Instead, Motonari lets out a slow breath, and then he looks away. For a long moment, neither of you says anything.
There is tension in the silence between you, but also a sense of comfort. A few breaths to give you a chance to get a hold of your emotions. To relax, held closer to the pirate captain than ever before.
“So . . . anyway, umm, should we keep moving?” You swallow, hoping to move on to a less emotional topic.
He lets go of you and takes a swig from the flask. “To gettin’ through storms.” He holds it out to you and this time you take it.
The liquor heats on its way down your throat, the slight bitterness lingering on your tongue.
Kicho
“Aaah!” You let out a surprised shout as your door slides open. Your kimono is only half on and it’s still dark outside your shuttered windows. You struggle to pull it on as you turn around to see who invaded your room at this ungodly hour.
Kicho stands in the doorway, his light green eyes almost glowing in the dim lantern light. His jaw is set in a familiar frown, though you aren’t sure why.
“Sorry for shouting,” you murmur, trying to quickly tie your kimono shut.
He ignores your apology. “Is that a tattoo?”
You blink, confused for a moment before you realize he must have spotted the ink on your shoulder blades. “Oh. Umm. I’m not a criminal or anything.” You swallow, feeling the full force of his regard as he crosses the room to close in on you.
“I did not suggest you were. Yet.” He raises one, perfectly arched brow. “Let me see it.”
You nod, realizing a refusal would not look good about now. “So, if I can ask, why did you come to get me? Do you . . . normally wake the maids?”
His response is a soft, impatient sniff. A dismissal of your question as silly. “Stop delaying.”
With a sigh, you lower the back of your kimono again to show your upper back. Three sunflowers cluster just below the nape of your neck, spreading their bright petals over your shoulder blades. “See? Clearly not irezumi kei.” You start to pull your kimono back up, but his cool hand on your shoulder stops you.
“These are . . . I haven’t seen tattoos like this since -” You feel the brush of his hand along your spine, and the accompanying shiver isn’t from the cold.
“They are common where I’m from. More or less.” You turn your head to see his expression. Is he suspicious, you wonder. But his gaze is softer than you’ve seen since coming to his manor, his lips curved in a smile more sensual than cynical.
Kicho’s hand rests between your shoulders as if trying to grasp the inked blossom. “And where is that? There is no village with a horishi so skilled.” His eyes snap to yours, the gentleness gone behind an icy wall.
You can’t tell him the truth, but a lie might get you in as much trouble. “It’s, umm, I . . .” Panicked, you try to look away to give yourself a moment to think.
His other hand catches your chin, holding your head still. “Where?”
“I - I told you before. A small village. It’s not important. I didn’t get it there. A nanban trader did it for me here, in Sakai. Because I - I saw one like it and I thought it was pretty.” You swallow, unsure if he’ll buy it.
Kicho’s eyes narrow as he studies your expression. “A nanban trader?”
You realize that you need to say something to derail this line of questioning. Your eyes go wide. “Does it look bad? I was so worried and since it’s on my back . . . but I thought . . .” Your panic helps bring a damp teariness to your eyes and a genuine worry to your voice.
“It -” He looks down at the tattoo again. “It is very lovely. On you.” His voice carries an unexpected gentleness, and you feel the touch of his finger tracing the line of your jaw. “Lovely.”
The touch and his words bring heat to your face, and you feel your pulse take off at a gallop. You remind yourself again that Kicho is the enemy, but it’s hard to keep that at the forefront of your thoughts in this oddly intimate moment. “Thank you.”
“Why did you get this? Merely for the look of it?”
You didn’t particularly want to have this discussion, but he’s asked and you see no harm in admitting the reason. “Well . . . someone told me this flower means admiration. And that three of them together are a - a confession. Of love.” You can feel the heat in your cheeks as you speak, though you aren’t sure if it’s because of how close he is, or what you’re saying. “The colors and type of sunflowers give them additional layers of meaning but . . . I got them to remind myself I am loved. And that I love myself.”
“You are . . . a strange woman,” he says after a moment. “And we are late. Finish dressing and meet me at the entrance.” Despite the sharp words, he seems reluctant to let you go, only doing so when you step away.
“I’ll see you there? It won’t take me a minute.” You hurriedly pull up the kimono and finish tying it off.
He nods, still focused intently on you. “Don’t dally.” His gaze flits to your now covered ink. “And don’t be ashamed of something you should that has such meaning and beauty.”

I was very impressed with the article you wrote for Lawyer MC. This request also comes from me. Can I request an MC who is a talented academic specializing in topics related to political science and the history of political thought? Since he was an academic, he also improved his diction. In addition to Japanese, he can also speak English and French very well. What would the warlords' reaction be? Thank you.
OMG REALLY??! THANK YOU SO MUCH
I hope you like this one!
Sorry this took so long
Political Scientist MC
• Oda Forces
→ Nobunaga Oda
• he was impressed to see your knowledge in political thought when he first met you. As such, he often brought you along for war councils and other discussions
• when you both got closer and you told him about how you're from the future and a political scientist, well- just know you both will be talking for hours
• just know he's gonna ask you all types of questions related to the political view from 500 years in the future! He may or may not implement some laws on his people to so tell him at your own risk!
• he will also bring you along to meet distinguished guests from overseas since your French and English is good :)
• you're one talented fireball that's for sure
→Hideyoshi Toyotomi
• you being fluent in French and English. And your knowledge in political grounds was what actually got him to be even more suspicious of you
• how do you know all this? Who do you work for? What's your plan?
• several several questions will be coming your way so get ready to answer them!
• when you both get closer and he gets to know more about you. He's actually very impressed
• you know so much! He'd love to know more about your work!
• also your fluent in French and English! Most fascinating! He'd bring you along during negotiations as well
→ Mitsuhide Akechi
• interesting. Very interesting.
• for the first few days he will be keeping a close eye on you from the shadows
• occasionally while teasing you he will purposefully add some political details. You always fall for that trick.
• Because history is never fully accurate so this was your chance to know more about it!
• when you both get closer he finally figures out the secret to your intelligence
• like Nobunaga he will also ask you about the political view of the future
• he will be amazed by how much it changed since the unification
• Uesugi-Takeda Forces
→ Kenshin Uesugi
• he wasn't interested in whatever you had to saw
• *throws you in the cell*
• .....i may have over did it BUT in my defense. He's not really interested in political talks. He only wants to go to war
• well not that he's completely uninterested but he'd rather go to wat
• when you guys do however get closer. He will be interested in talking to you. Actually he'd be interested in hearing the view point from 500 years in the future
• he will be like Nobunaga and try to put some of the ideologies to work
→Shingen Takeda
• he's one of the only few who would actually like to talk to you about the political views and such
• he may correct you in certain points. But actually you would end up having a good long chat with him
• he's nice :)
• when you both get closer, well, he's pretty much like Kenshin and Nobunaga and would hear and compare the political views from now and 500 years in the future
→Kanetsugu Naoe
• are you a spy? (Part 2)
• suspicious like Hideyoshi
• does not trust you
• how do you know so many languages that's not normal
• when you both become lovers tho, he will understand how you are so knowledgeable
• will be very interested to talk to you after that
• maybe there are some rules he can introduce to Lord Kenshin too?
• Lone Forces
→Kicho
• you can speak French and english?
• that may be a problem but again. Maybe not
• Of course he's aware you're from the future. So he's not really amazed by your political knowledge and how fluent you are in different languages
• he will still bring you along durijg negotiations
• but will send you away if they wanna talk about something important
• when you both get closer, well- of course. He will stop sending you away like before qwq
Thanku so much for reading!
