"No wonder Lord Nozawa is so wise!" Maeda Toshie downed a cup of sake, praised him first, and then said, "There are many misunderstandings about Lord Oda Sanmaru, like the incident with Lord Kinoshita, it's mostly just rumors."
He paused slightly and asked with concern, "Lord Nozawa, have you heard about that incident with Lord Kinoshita?"
"Well, I really haven't heard about it."
"Hmm, I see..." Maeda Toshie was slightly regretful, wishing he hadn't brought it up. But since he did, he had to continue, "Out there, people say Lord Oda Sanmaru shot Lord Kinoshita with an iron cannon without reason, but actually, someone was intentionally stirring trouble and spreading rumors!"
Upon hearing this, Nozawa remembered, Amman indeed said Oda Nobunaga played with iron cannon and accidentally killed a Household Retainer. He asked in surprise, "So that's just a rumor? Lord Kinoshita actually didn't die?"
"Uh... Lord Kinoshita did die."
