[He's still laughing. Okay, he'll stop in a bit to keep talking.]
I believe you!
[Unless Ryouma is pulling a fast one on Hizen.]
That's definitely different from our records. [Which are, to be honestly, very murky by their nature.] I never thought about Nobunaga as a woman before!
[He have no particular attachment to the Sengoku era, compared to the Bakumatsu.]
(Even though Norimune has already stopped at this point. He's still embarrassed. Please, just be weirded out like he was. This reaction is just making him feel stupid.)
That's 'cause he isn't!
(Nobunaga is a man! Their records might have holes in them because humans are unreliable but this is different! Something like this can't be wrong. His brain really can't handle this still.
He shifts a bit, taking more food for his bowl,)
Something about being heroic spirits. Sounded kind of like us but... with someone summoning humans instead.
[They have Nobunaga's swords in the Citadel for ages. All they need to confirm Nobunaga's gender is just wait for Hasebe or Fudou to start talking.
In any case, the further information Hizen just said is quite interesting. Norimune get some more food for his bowl. He glances over at Hizen with an intrigued look.]
Oh? Is that so?
[That's... hm, well. It's starting to bring up ideas in his mind, ideas he didn't want to think of.]
(He's quiet for a moment. He doesn't like thinking. He always feels like he's saying things wrong or he has the wrong idea but Ryouma had said this himself...)
The world only summons like him when humanity is on the brink of destruction and needs someone to fix it.
[The scenario is rather similiar to theirs, save for a few differences. But there's very little he can infer from right now. It'll be a fun thought experiment, though.]
I'd like to hear more, but it's better if I meet him for myself. From the sound of it, they summoned people instead of weapons like us in his world.
[How different the situation must be, for people to decide to summon human heroes? He wonders if Sakamoto will enlighten him, if they ever cross paths.]
Oh.. That's interesting. The suit was often a sign of the westernisation.
[There's more to it than that. But adopting the clothing style can be a big hint, by itself. Knowing what's recorded and what should happen is a big part of their duty.]
I haven't spend that much time with Mutsunokami Yoshiyuki... But there's a chance I might recognise him. Maybe not as well as you would.
[They're all comrades, but he's not particularly close to Mutsunokami like Hizen is. Norimune goes for another order, as he ponder over this. Izo, Ryouma... they're just missing Hanpeita.]
(Unfortunately, Hizen will always be able to recognize Mutsunokami.)
Sutoku.
(Which seems fitting from what he knows about the Alliance. He's also watching Norimune now because he can already tell... Norimune is going to go looking for him if not just keep an eye out for him, isn't he?)

Uhahaha! Truly? Nobunaga as a woman?
[Yeah, it's hilarious to him.]
no subject
Stop laughing! I'm being serious! He said Nobunaga was a woman and they had the same master or something!

But sharing the same master?

(The people summon the spirits of human heroes instead. He isn't sure but it does sound very similar. He isn't sure how he feels about that.)
.... He doesnt want people calling him by his name here. Says it reveals too much. Goes by "Rider" instead.
no subject
[How different the situation must be, for people to decide to summon human heroes? He wonders if Sakamoto will enlighten him, if they ever cross paths.]
Say, what does he look like?
no subject
(Very different from the image of Ryouma they're used to seeing in records,)
... Didn't recognize him 'til I saw Mutsunokami. Dunno if you'd recognize him right away. He looks like he used to.
(Which Norimune might be familiar with? Historically, Mutsunokami was damaged and reforged.)

Sutoku.
(Which seems fitting from what he knows about the Alliance. He's also watching Norimune now because he can already tell... Norimune is going to go looking for him if not just keep an eye out for him, isn't he?)
no subject
... If we cross paths, I wouldn't mind chatting with him.
[Yes, yes he will keep an eye out for Ryouma.]
no subject
(It's not like he can stop Norimune.)
no subject
Whenever I can, yes.
[After all this chat, oden continue to tempt and tease their appetite. Time to keep eating.]
