Chronicles of The Hardships of Komachi in The Sengoku Era

The time is slightly retroactive, when the first report of the fall of Ishiyama Honganji Temple was made in Kyoto by Hayama.

There is one Gokeya, which is also the culmination of the public house, and the owner of the Nijo family, Shoji (Akizaki), lived an evening that could not even be mangled in the Imperial Register set up in the bedroom.

By this time, the cotton futon that the Konoe family was actively spreading was penetrating among the wealthy public houses, but Shoji was stubbornly refusing to do so.

Converted to the current monetary value, it is a set of duvets and comforters that cost about the price of a domestically produced luxury passenger car, and even if it is a senior nobleman (kugi), it is a substitute that cannot be done unless it can combine both financial resources and connections.

Of course, it can be obtained from the Nijo family, which is responsible for the corner of the Goryeo family, if it becomes the owner, but it even seemed to be a symbol of decadence for Shoji, who feels that he is more alienated from the Oda family than he is now.

Therefore, I lie on top of the old-fashioned eight layers, hanging my kimono on top and meditating on my eyes, but I never come to sleep.

The cause of this was in the detailed report of the fall of Honganji Temple. It took only two days from the official army's Honganji faction to fall, and more than that, it brought the insurgent mastermind, Shinra, to life.

In planning a series of disturbances, he had given assistance and instructions to the godfathers through those in charge of the dark parts in Kyoto, so if they followed them in the opposite direction, their involvement might be discovered.

And Shoji actually plotted to assassinate Shizuko, a stronghold of the Oda family. Nobunaga's ferocity toward his enemies was famous in Kyoto, and he could not sleep at night thinking that it was approaching him.

Sleep deprivation due to daily insomnia appears as a dark bear under the eyes. The face that remained fatigued was like a dead man, and it seemed that the hair painted with sweat was sticking to the forehead, which was not like a very noble person.

He was surely cornered. After the first report was made, strange things began to happen around him one after another, and finally I couldn't even get in touch with those in charge of the dark.

Shoji was an overwhelming strong man by birth, and he was not even hated by others. I don't know when it will be dangerous to me, but how can it be a heavy pressure that will continue to be exposed to fear?

"I didn't just try to throw out strangers to the extent that I talked to the government (every festival) in the interval of women!" What's wrong with that!! "

When I scratched my scalp with my hair, there was a bundle of fatty hair tangled between my fingers. Shoji saw a huge amount of hair loss and said, "Hiiii!" and screamed briefly.

He shook it off as if it was an abomination entangled between his fingers, and kicked it into the corner of the room, trying to keep it away from him even a little.

It is then that he realizes the unnaturalness of the situation in which he was placed. No one comes to see how things are, even though they're loud and make the right noise.

On the contrary, as soon as the source of the sound was silent, silence so much that the tinnitus could be heard dominated the area. Exactly the sound of bugs ceases, and the tense air is heavily pressurized.

"Somebody! Somebody!"

Shoji actually calls as loud as he can, but only the reverberation echoes in the ever-popular mansion, and the response never returns.

When Shoji wore a kimono, who could not stand or stand, the smell of something out of place snapped down his nose. It was somewhere fragrant and reminiscent of a wildfire.

The moment Shoji couldn't stand the silence and was about to scream, something with a red and black weight jumped into his book.

It stopped at the step of eight superimposition and rolled over, and Zhao really told him his identity in silence. Rather than screaming from the extreme fear of Shoji, she throbbed without even exhaling.

What appeared to be a red-black object was a human body with its limbs amputated and its torso and head only. The reddish-black appearance was due to the flesh of the torso being scraped to the point where the bones were visible, and the cutting surface being grinded with high heat.

In contrast to the appearance of an extremely traumatic torso, the head filled with a thick cloth so as not to bite the tongue was almost in its original form, and I could understand it as a liaison between myself and the dark part.

Chang Hon, who threw a shady body with a miserable expression, stepped out of the darkness into the lights of the candelabra.

In the midst of the thin brightness, glowing eyes, and a steaming mouth spewing up a phase of rage. At first sight, Akira realized that the demon of Hell had appeared.

On the other hand, the demon waved a tremendous anger, trampled on Zhaofu's eight superimposition without making a single footstep, and said arrogantly as he looked down at him.

Are you the owner of Nijo House, Zhao Sheng?

As a matter of fact, Shoji feels that he will be killed if he doesn't instinctively respond to the heat as if he is being broken by a flame, and he shakes his head vertically again and again like a broken toy.

I was caught in the ghost's eye, incontinent by making a noise from the extreme fear, and then desecrated, but Zhao really couldn't even afford to feel shame.

With a different odor coming in earlier, the demon looked as if it had seen something ugly. Shoji shed tears of disgrace and disgust emanating from the demon.

“Everything I'm going to tell you is a matter of decision. I won't forgive you for refusing! If you say no, it will be your future."

The demon said suddenly in a voice that sounded like it was echoing from the bottom of the earth. After hearing the demon's words and looking at the man in the liaison role, I understood that the meat in my body was shredded thinly over and over again.

Unfortunately, this was one of the long-standing executions in China and the Korean peninsula, and it was also the ultimate form of torture inflicted on those who received the heaviest sentences.

It is a tragic and extremely unfortunate technique of holding a sentenced person in custody by making him into a bowl, and using a blade that has been burned until he is red-hot, shredding the flesh of the sentenced person alive and little by little.

Normally, if you try to cut the flesh with a blade, it will bleed to death quickly, but the hot blade will burn and shrink the wound in the process of shredding, so it will suppress the bleeding, and it is a cruel execution focused on making the inmate suffer for a long time.

It is said that the punishment may take several days to dozens of days, but this time, I was sentenced to death in a short time to find the mastermind, but I am not sure whether it was a salvation for me.

"From now on, you will be beaten with a rope, exposed to the whole capital as a sinner, and then sent to Aki." Whatever amnesty you may have in the future, you will never benefit from it. That's the only place in Hinomoto where you can spin raw. No matter what the reason, if you get out of there, you will be tortured to the point of begging me to kill you as well as this guy. Of course, I will give you your wife and your children and grandchildren! "

The words spoken by the demon's mouth were slowly chewed (sobbing) by Shoji. Firstly, I was relieved that my life would not be taken, and then I was hopeless that I would spend the rest of my life on a remote island called Aki.

Even so, if the harsh sand is not enough for me, it will extend to my own clan's party, making Shoji noodles. The demon who saw it and blamed it repeated his words.

"You look disgruntled, don't you? Know that your sins will not be redeemed with your filthy life! Honganji Temple was poured with fire from heaven. You have committed a contraindication that should never be touched. You will not be allowed to die in ease, only to continue licking bitter juices and bitter acid in this world."

I was attacked by the feeling that Shoji was going to be dark before my eyes when he told me that he was going to be the ultimatum from the demon. This demon is telling me that if he doesn't suffer alive, he's threatening to hang himself.

Shoji realized that he had to eat the root of the tree and send life full of hardship in Ogiki, the most endless place to be stoned. When I reached that understanding, I sat down and asked the name of the demon to show my intentions as the owner of the Nijo family, even if it rotted.

"My name is Ashimoto, and I will be the guardian of Shizuko Konoe, and I will wield the blade of guilt against her!" Engrave my name in it, with remorse, for the rest of my life! I'll always be watching you! "

When I told her that, the demon turned its body and disappeared into the darkness. It was only a nightmare for Shoji, but there was definitely evidence that they were not.

It's a corpse that has no human form already, and it's a stench that rises from its own body that has been painted with urine. Shoji actually nodded with his head in his mind at the end of his journey. Someday, only the sound of sobbing began to leak out of it.

A voice of someone who does not show up can be heard against the footsteps of Nijo Mansion.

It's time for those who have put me to sleep to regain consciousness. Is it really good for me to have a lookout?

"I just threatened it so much that it contained causation, and I'm sorry for the mischief." To be honest, I even think that if you scratch my legs, I'll be able to get rid of him with my own hands. "

"I must continue to show other people who are uncomfortable with Shizuko-sama's fangs what end they will end up in." But is it okay if I don't tell Shizuko about the treatment of the masterminds involved in the series of disturbances? "

"I will not allow Shizuko to know anything about this." It will be communicated from Sanada that she was targeted for her life, as long as Shizuko is aware of her failures and serves as a source of encouragement for reflection. This is my selfishness, but I don't want to show Shizuko the ugly parts that people can't help. I'm happy not to know. Even by touching it, the human industry continues to accumulate as a centipede in the mind, and one day it will corrode that mind. I am alone enough to sign the path of Shura that washes blood with blood. "

Upon receiving the words of Ashigamoto, Kaji Kato returned a word of approval and vanished the signs. Satisfaction also took on an additional cause, and disappeared into the darkness.

Ogari had a late rainy season, from which a month or so of calm flowed. Even in modern times, when there is a lot of rain, people's activities become a low fire, but the trend does not change even during the Warring States Period.

Even when a large number of people, objects, and money are mobilized, even during the rainy season, they cannot move as they wish, and their activities are greatly restricted.

If it is a major road in Oda territory, it is paved, so the road will not get dull. However, if you get off the street a little bit, you will follow the natural reasoning, and the footprints of people and the traces of wadachi will remain for a long time.

In other words, it was self-evident that military actions that did not want the enemy to know as much as possible about the movement of personnel and supplies would also be dull, and with some exceptions (...), the implicit ceasefire state continued.

"Don't be alarmed because it's rainy season. The opportunity to make a decisive difference is when others are absent.”

"Yes, Mother."

46 And Shizuko was instructed by him concerning his disposition to stand upon men. No matter how Shizuko's son is, the prestige of his parents alone will not bring him along.

He learned from his predecessors and sometimes even gained practical experience as a soldier in the field. Upper levels that do not know the site at all are only evil, and because they lose sight of the bigger picture only from the same perspective as the site, politicians are not immune to incompetence.

That said, there are limitations to human capabilities, so it is impossible for politicians to fully grasp the ends, and it is reasonable to establish a centralized system by building an intermediate management layer.

At that time, what was needed was an eye that could see through the middle manager who would become his own eyes and limbs, but this ability was significantly inferior to others in 46.

From his peculiar origins, it would be impossible, but the adversary would not consider such a thing (shyness), so it was necessary to make up for it as soon as possible.

“People are often afraid to get rid of things they don't understand. In other words, people who are obsessed with money and power naturally think that other people are as well, and I hate those who don't like it."

“Does being abnegative mean being vigilant?”

"Whatever happens, 'easy to understand' is important. Commercial transactions that are concluded with an easy-to-understand relationship of interest are the most important, and there is a reciprocal relationship that seeks to satisfy the other party's desire and obtain convenience for itself instead. In short, being abnegative makes it difficult to work because you can't see what the person wants. When people are blessed, the 'principle of repayability' works that they want to reward.”

I see, letting the other person know what you want will make it easier for you to form a relationship!

“That's right, it's not just about accepting money and goods, it's about trying to do something that needs to be invested. It may seem undesirable to the people to have a clean monarch who is not bribed, but there are some monarchs who do not like to favor the powerful enough to make a little bit of a bribe in their territory. In contrast, is it evil for a monarch to recruit money and manpower to promote public works in his territory one after another instead of favoring powerful merchants and peasants?”

"I don't think it's evil... it's difficult"

“Get into the habit of seeing things from different perspectives. Whoever stands on top of a person is required to swallow in combination with clearness. People can't live by just being beautiful."

“I understand, I will try.”

With his experience of being oppressed at a young age, Shizuko tends to dislike the tyranny of powerful things because of the circumstances in which he was rescued by Shizuko. 46 learns how to handle when he has power.

Of course, Shizuko is not the only one to teach 46. He also learned a lot from his brother, Kei-ji, the chief scientist, and, at the end of the day, the hostage scenery.

What's the matter, are you stuck?

Simultaneously with the words, Four Six was rolled to the next Qing Dynasty. He had Keisei practice horn power, but there was literally a difference between the strengths of adults and children.

After all, the footprints of the 46 were prominent in the auditorium, and Keisei had barely even moved from the first standing position. The 46 that has been rolled many times is covered with earth, but the next time, only the part where the 46 hit is dirty.

Not yet!

"Okay! That's a good one, drop your hips even more and bump your head."

Wow!

Did you get a good hit unexpectedly? Kei next praises 46, but he raises his hand from under his armpit to the top, causing 46 to fall down. Four six bumps with their full weight on them could not cope with the throwing of Kei Ngai, which was derived from the shock while parrying.

Rolling on the ground, she stumbled into the iron cannon pillar for training and stunned. Everyone around him stacks up his former appearance on forty-six, smiling bitterly to wake him up.

"Alright, take a breath." Seeing the power of others is part of your study. "

Yes, yes.

Four Six, who had been helped by Chang Ke, nodded aware that his breath had risen completely. Leaning back against the wall of the auditorium, he drinks water from the water bottle he had brought with him.

From around the corner, there was a violent sound of the trained flesh bumping into each other when combining Keisei and Nagaoka into four.

As you lean forward and stretch your legs, you can see Keitaro, who endures a long blow, and Keitaro, who even shifts his legs, and understand how he was holding back. However, to that extent, 46 will not rot.

(Everyone was trained harder to fight than children. However, it is different from the person who lived every day to live, so naturally, as a non-genius, I can only make efforts.)

Are you unhappy with your grip?

Scenery spoke to Four Six as she sighed for the endless difference between herself and the Keisei. 46 answers the question of scenic beauty while shaking his head after bowing.

"I have recently started to exercise horn power, but I can't help but think that I will stand shoulder to shoulder with Lord Keiji, who has accumulated training for a long time. It's only natural to treat children like children."

"It's a big deal just because I think so." Usually, many people are desperate for the difference between themselves, and many people break their knees. But Lord Four Sixteen knew the difference, and yet he was trying to close it. "

It's a waste of time.

The scenery that valued me, 46, is somewhat mirrored.

"Don't get humbled, it's hard to do." Besides, I'm a hostage, and I don't mind being so intimidated. "

"Just kidding. I'm your mother's son and I'm putting it aside." I can't stand at my feet with you, who got the seat of successor from the brilliant dragon of Echigo, and me, who hasn't done anything yet. "

"Hahaha, I haven't done anything so far, so I can't help but get praise from the front." Then, if I give you one piece of advice, it seems that the Four Six Soldiers are giving too much of themselves. Let me show you how I can help you if you are lowly or lost compared to others. It's about having something in life that you can't give up. ”

Is it something you can't cede?

In response to the question of 46, the scenic scenery returns as if to look somewhere that is not here.

"If I were you, Echigo would hit it." It is my passion to protect Echigo, who was born and raised me, and all the people who live there. Those who commit it will remain the same, even if they were the great benefactor of Oda. Whether it's scolded as ungrateful or a fight that can never be won, it's unacceptable. Forgiving it is harder for me than death. "

"I see, what I can't cede..."

What is it for Lord Four Six? It only takes time to ask yourself that.

“Thank you for your valuable advice. Even if you are still a young man, please continue to give me your guidance and whip."

Jingsheng responded with a light pat on the shoulder in response to the hard words of the forty-six.

At the end of July, around the time of August, the hostages were brought in secret by the Date family as proof of their obedience to the Oda family. Nobunaga, who received the report, immediately ordered the generals in charge of the Eastern Expedition to proceed to the Hokkaido Expedition.

The snow that had prevented the Echigo Army's march led by Kenshin Uesugi also disappeared, and military and economic support from the Oda family began to arrive. The successor struggle, which was more of a challenge than ever before, was also settled, resulting in a situation in which the anguish of the guard was broken.

In response to Nobunaga's order to leave the battlefield, Nobunaga immediately began to act. In the eyes of others, it might seem like he rushed ahead of Kung Fu, but if he knew the inside, he would realize that it was a mistake.

Learning from the mistakes of the past, Faithful was constantly preparing. No matter when the order is issued, we are ready to leave immediately, we work hard to gather information to understand the world's trends, and we are even disrupting the information against ourselves.

"The first moves of the young man (about Shinobi) are brilliant." Under Order No. 1, no one else was able to leave in about one vehicle day. Isn't that exactly what Oda's army, which specializes in electric strikes, looks like? "

"I can't even say something so energetic!" The Nine Ghosts Navy's ship's speed must be secret, but it's leaking from somewhere! ”

Shizuko, who was expressing her feelings in a relaxed manner, was sandwiched by Nagaya's impatience. Shizuko has received a call from Nobunaga, and is due to be interviewed about the leakage of confidential information.

Particularly fatal is the leakage of specific figures that it will take about twenty days (......) from Ogata with the footsteps aligned to Satomi family-controlled Anba in the enemy area.

Regardless of how you have the latest armaments, it's easy to launch an ambush if you can predict when and where it will pass. Therefore, Nobunaga, who was in Azuchi, went so far as to summon Shizuko in such a way that the generals clung to him.

Katsuzuki-kun is still sweet, isn't he?

Ahn?

"Do you think young people don't know that I will be summoned to Azuchi just before my departure?"

I can recall the length of the case that has been pointed out. Shizuko, who is the center of the station and a difficult staff officer, has been torn off from his army, and it is impossible that Nobunaga has not grasped it.

Nonetheless, Nobunaga did not protest against Nobunaga, and she quickly headed to the military port to rendezvous with the Nine Ghosts Marine Army without holding Shizuko back.

Chang Ke, who has known each other for quite some time and understands the character of the followers, does not think that he is optimistic about advancing the army. In the face of a desperate defeat, he was underestimated by any enemy.

Ah!

All the way here, Chang Ke noticed the discomfort he was holding vaguely. With regard to this confidential leakage case, whether it is a believer or Shizuko, the fact that they are not unique is prominent.

Because it is a close person who can be said to be an intimate person, it is an uncomfortable feeling that you will notice, so it will not be noticed by outsiders. I mean, it was too convenient for the enemy.

“I'll tell you something good. People assume that the information they have painstakingly gained is authentic."

"I mean, you can't be!"

Well then? If you wait for my lord, you'll get scolded. Shall we hurry?

Unexpectedly, Shizuko raised the speed of her horse by taking control of her eyes, which were filling her mouth with something. Chang Ke, who understands that he should not speak in a place where it is impossible to know where the ears of others are, follows Shizuko with indifference.

Shizuko's behavior after arriving in Azuchi was also strange. It seemed that it was near the end of the evening that he had given his foreshadowing to Nobunaga while entering Ando early on.

Anyone who knew her who acted early seemed apparently distraught about her meeting with Nobunaga.

(The good thing is that there are many demons. You have to be careful when things are going the way you want them to.)

The reactions of the generals to Shizuko's actions were largely split into two. One is a person who dares to ride, knowing that Shizuko is planning things like Nobunaga and Hori. The others laughed that Shizuko had committed her first major defeat. Chang Ke, who was staring at the lined up generals, was desperately enduring the funnyness of the pathetic people who were fascinated without even knowing that they were rolling around in Shizuko's palm.

"Well done."

It was because I was watching Nobunaga and I was biting down my voice desperately. No matter how long it takes to paint many people around you, bursting laughs in front of Nobunaga will not spare you. Believing in the unveiling of the seeds that would come sooner or later, he endured it.

“First of all, I apologize for the delay. I couldn't get ready for a sudden call.”

"It doesn't matter. So, what did you plan this time?"

"This time (...) it's not me." It's all by the hands of young people. "

"I suppose so. The coarseness is noticeable in your plan." I'm not going to be able to do without your bait. "

After Nobunaga's conversation with Shizuko, an upset ran between the generals. The reason that Shizuko was summoned to Azuchi Castle this time was because she believed that she was being held responsible and reprimanded for information leakage.

When I opened the lid, it was a farce that both sides agreed on. Don't be surprised.

How does it feel to be in a position where you're always moving people?

"It's not bad to be extravagant." If you don't see a man for three days, I'll try to scare him. "

"Tell him it's a fool's sigh."

"I can't praise the young man who is still stretching. The young man who asked for my help walked without my help. As a teacher, I'm never so happy.”

It was the feeling of Shizuko without lying. Nobunaga, who taught me a variety of things from a young age, eventually stood on her own without Shizuko's help.

Though there was a hint of loneliness, he was more proud of his growth. Therefore, I took a deceitful approach to my allies, and now I have forgotten the faithful who are heading to the East.

"Now the young man has grown up again. I don't have to pull back anymore."

"I see. Then I'll do you a favor." What, would it be cheap as a price to keep quiet with me? "

With a pleasant smile, Nobunaga spoke of the price. It is obvious that it is interesting, but it is hard to make an impression on the surroundings that it is a consideration.

You will take care of the hostages left behind by the Date family.

In this way, Nobunaga's method of delivering a hostage from the Date family with the strongest escort to the most secure Ogata in Oda territory became possible.

A hostage in the world of warring nations was a guarantee that they would not be hostile to their opponents. But a hostage is not just a substitute for a deed. Treat me well so that I don't get a bad impression of my side, and if I am competent, I will even provide talent education as a future close candidate.

The most important person is Masayuki Sanada, and it is because Shingen Takeda has sparingly tapped into the various knowledge he possesses that he has today.

Tokugawa Ieyasu, who is counted as the Emperor of the Three Elders of Warring States, was also privileged to spend his childhood in the Imagawa family. The owner of the Imagawa family, Yoshimoto, had Ieyasu accumulate military training, and he also served as the parent (substantive guardian) of the Eboshi Oya in the original uniform, and was about to be raised by the Imagawa family's senior minister.

When I say hostage in this way, I have the impression of being a cage bird, but as long as the national license does not betray the host, I have the possibility that I can stand on my own.

With regard to the treatment of hostages, Shizuko set up an outstanding track record of scenic scenery. In addition to him, he also cultivated a number of human resources such as Nagaoka and the talent storehouse, and was being recognized as an educator by starting school management.

By proactively opening the door to education regardless of the status of the applicant, Ogari's high productivity will not allow other followers.

Apart from such practical aspects, the fact that the hostage is deposited by the lord is a sign of trust and an honor. It's not unusual for people to find Shizuko uninteresting, no matter how well she has a track record, if she's used too much.

Therefore, when entrusting the hostages, Nobunaga took the form of a light punishment rather than an honor. Besides, I think Nobunaga will see Date Fujijiro (later Masamune sect) at a glance.

Even though his behavior was somewhat quirky, he said that it would be interesting if he kept the boy in Shizuko's possession, which was an eye-catcher when it came to sharpness.

(There's nothing busy when the lord is holding something in his hand, is there?)

I suspected that Nobunaga was planning something, but I had no choice but to reject Shizuko as a sad subordinate. Apart from Nobunaga's thoughts, there was probably a desire to see the future Date Sect.

"By the way, what was the young master's plan?" When I talked to the master, the information that Hojo was grabbed is fake, right? "

When Shizuko was thinking about the treatment of Date and his servants, Nagaya asked questions from the side. Fujijiro was not a very interesting presence for Nagaya, and I was concerned that Nobunaga had even deceived Nobunaga.

Judging from Shizuko's mouthpiece, there are verses that she knows and rides on the faithful's solution, and she decided that she does not understand the outline even if it is not full content.

Yes, it's true that it takes about 20 days by boat from Owari to Sagami, the home of Hojo.

"So, every time a young man stops by the harbor to resupply, there's a risk of being ambushed?" Even if we were to take out the enemy troops and destroy each one of them, it would still be a trick. "

Thanks to the technological innovation promoted by Shizuko, the Nine Ghosts Marine Army boasts unparalleled combat power, but it is by no means invincible. Of course, if you can shoot an arrow, the ship will burn, and if it hits a person, it will cause death and injury.

There's no way I could procure skilled sailors during wartime. It is desirable to avoid extra fights if possible and come to the mainland for a showdown.

"The young man set a trap here." Twenty days is the number of days when a merchant ship was loaded to the limit. "

"Huh? It will be easier to procure supplies locally, and as a merchant ship, you'll be safe on the road if you're escorted by the convoy." Isn't that accompanying the merchant ship this time? "

"That is the significance of our military station." There is already a base near the ports that stores supplies, and we are in a position to continue pushing the front line of supply. In other words, only a purely military ship can march, and the number of resupplies is minimal, so if it is impossible, it will take three days. In five days at the latest, we can raid Satomi territory, which is the main point of the Navy for Hojo. "

"Oh dear! If you can't tailor a horse in time, you won't be able to hit it with your hand." That's why it's a later festival. "

There is no way for an interlocutor to tell the truth even if it comes to this. As Nagaoka said, the speed of a military ship is not reached after crushing a horse and running through the night.

Well, even if this information is passed on to the other party, it won't be as difficult if it's not there.

"... an assault landing operation?"

After thinking about it for a while, Chang Ke muttered. An assault landing operation is a landing operation carried out by a convoy of landers and frigates.

The Lander is a ship with armor plating and forward and reverse augers that can land troops and armor directly on the shore without a large port facility.

In other words, since the enemy only needs to protect the harbor, it is necessary to be vigilant on the entire vast coastline, and inevitably the number of troops that can be deployed in one place will be drastically reduced.

"As expected, but I think young people will first show the current situation of Satomi, including the flagship." And while your enemies are concentrating on you, you're going to have to fight the armies that landed on the other shore. ”

"If you leave the main convoy alone, the port will be destroyed, and if you concentrate your forces to deal with the convoy, the armies that landed from various places will ravage the land." Shizuko's hateful hand seemed to like it. At the time it was put into action, there was a real resemblance between what was impossible and what was impossible. "

I want you to say it's an effective strategy.

Don't say that.

While rewarding Nagaoka for their gentle words, the two headed for the Azuchi annexe where the hostage Date, Fujijiro, waited.

That said, the safekeeping location is Owari, and this is just a makeshift accommodation in Azuchi. If you just show your face to Shizuko as a hostage, you can spend a relatively free time.

Well then, what kind of child is Fujijiro, the strange genius of the Date family?

"Hmm, where did you get the rumor of a strange genius?" Most of the time, the hostages are quietly put up with the strong people and the price is fixed.

"It's sweet. The lord pressed it with a smile on his face, so I'm sure he's a cannibal."

"... well, I'm not the one who's struggling."

"Huh? Isn't it noisy around the mansion?" Is something wrong? "

"I can't believe the hostage escaped... it's not murderous." Do you feel somewhat confused? "

Why don't we just ask?

Many people gathered near the front gate of the mansion, and Shizuko turned her attention to the person who gave the instructions.

The close friends of the Date family were also aware of the presence of Shizuko, and they understood that the guard's soldiers were highly-identified because they were the most honored.

The young man, who was seen as the central figure, instructed the road to be cleared by stretching out his voice, and when he finished his residence, he dropped his neck deeply towards Shizuko.

"I see you at the beginning." My name is Katakura Kodokuro, and I'm Dada Fujiro. "

"Excuse me from the horse." As you may have already heard, my name is Shizuko Konoe, and I have decided to take care of you. What do you think of your troubles? "

The complexion of the people around him, who were thought to be members of the Date family, changed quickly and uniformly. However, Xiao Shiro opened his mouth and dominated it with his hand.

"I'm sorry." It's embarrassing to expose the Date family, but I can't see my main Fujijiro-sama walking around. "

Shizuko felt that she wanted to hold her head to the words of Kodokuro, whose expression seemed to have crushed the bitter insect.
