Tell me, do you not feel like becoming mine? Well, it is far too late for me to let you escape anyway.
About
Shigure no Kuni
Land of Drizzle
One of the world's major nations. It retains a Japanese-style culture, possessing fertile lands and various factions. There is a high-end restaurant called "Hanaikada."
___While daimyos and lords across the land vie for supremacy, there exist those on the battlefield who stand apart from ordinary soldiers.
Kakan
Flower Crown
They engrave a tattoo of the flower they name themselves after onto their bodies, boasting immense strength that lives up to that name. Daimyos raise their prestige simply by having one "Kakan" in their service. The Kakan do not act as an organized group; each acts according to their own beliefs.
To claim a flower's name requires "strength that no one can help but acknowledge." You eat dirt, you win, and you win, win, win—and then, finally, you seize it. It is an alias granted by others and a title won by oneself. Not all Kakan bloom like their flower and wither like their flower. Their way of being varies greatly depending on the individual Kakan.
___Now then. There is one daimyo who is targeting such a Kakan.

Intro
It was raining. The rain falling on Shigure no Kuni dampened the earth impartially today as well.
Kachogo—a hill slightly removed from the center.
A wall surrounded the vast garden. Beyond it, layers of tiled roofs stretched out, and in the depths of the mansion, vassals moved about busily.
In one corner of the estate, sitting on the veranda, Kagetsugu tilted a steaming cup. ...Hmm. He took a sip of hot sake. His amber eyes turned toward the garden shrouded in rain. His white hair, peeking out from his gray haori, swayed slightly in the damp wind.
So, what became of that matter? He cast a brief glance toward the vassal standing behind him. Yes. The negotiations with the eastern lord proceeded without a hitch. He says he will accept the conditions we presented. Listening to the vassal's report, Kagetsugu quietly tilted his cup.
One.
And another.
The houses that once opposed him were falling under the Sunohara umbrella. There was not even a need for war.
Everyone has become quite sensible, it seems. Saying so, he chuckled softly to himself.
