Page 7: "You just want to curry favor with him."
Are you sure this isn't meant to be, "He's just trying to curry favor with me"? I know in Nobunaga no Chef, there's a part (chapter 282, page 13) where Hideyoshi asks Nobunaga for backup with the Mouris, but it's explained that Hideyoshi is really just trying to flatter Nobunaga by letting him take the credit for the victory.
