Nobunaga's Bastard

Episode 135: The Failure of a Knife

"Why, you! Though this is where I would say I would risk my life to fight!

"No! Whatever your father says, this belt knife is absolutely, absolutely! No way!! We are not going to attack Uesugi, and, of course, we will not even set foot in Shinshu!

I stood up and stood low, too, in line with my father, who stood up to jump. Father trying to catch me and put me down. You'll never get caught, and I'm not saying you found out where you got caught and beat up a few times. I will never fight a god of war.

"Did you cower!?

"No way, nothing, I've always been timid! I remain cowardly to the back of my mind!

"You weak bastard!

I put my arms forward and my father jumped at me. I avoid flickering. Idiot, though it would just be painful if I made such a move as soon as I finished eating my meal full. Neither do I. Shit. It's painful. I think I'm gonna throw up.

"Ugh, Ki, you, I would have shown so much guts in the fold of the main temple, and even prepared to give up my life."

"Oh, you know, I didn't mean to say at that time that an awkward man would give up his life."

Sure, because of the Oda family, I went out assuming the worst for Nihomoto. Though we talked to the heartless about the aftermath.

"Where did you go when you took the public?"

My father says, staring at me as I seem to suffer. It was a whispering word after looking around because it was not a good idea to say the word 'public' to the boulder.

"Please know that the bandage that became a ghost for the Oda family is dead. The awkward man's guts and things to be prepared were cut off with his right ear with a public knife at Honneng Temple that day."

I'm not exactly a public servant, Takashi Nagaoka, but I don't mind because nobody knows anything but me. I feel it would be somewhat more convincing to come up with a public name. Thank you, sir. Be forever, sir.

"Think calmly! The opponent that Lord Kwon Liu didn't fight, and the awkward will go out, means the opponent that Sanqiro couldn't win after that! Do you think you can win this belt knife even though it is like that!?

"Is that like putting your chest up and saying!? You don't feel sorry for me!?

"If it's a disgrace to say you can't beat that military god opponent, don't be ashamed of the awkward! There will be no shameless people in the Oda family! The best fighter among the Oda ministers is Shibata Kwon Six. The most combat-resistant of the Oda brothers is Sanqiro. The earliest answer is out there!

"If you're a loyal samuro, you won't say such unwillingness!

"He's an idiot!

If I have to fight the same number of soldiers in ten years' time, surrender will be my first quest. Yeah, well, it's fortunate not to fight them first, like they were destined to be warlords by birth.

"By and large, what can you do to a crazy father who says something about himself like" The Incarnation of Shishaman Heaven "?!? I would not call a warlord a warlord who, in his capacity as general general, pushes the lead of the army and cuts to the enemy general! I'm simply an unusual combat addict!

"It would be your job to do something about it! What's your pity for winning against Ryukyu Oyagawa!

"That was a battle against Lord Odagawa, who manages to wrap up the Maori family, whose interior is unstable, united in hunting down the Oda army and gradually winning in his hands! It was also a low-cost ship that set the course of the war, and it didn't have any effect on the awkward's tactics or tactics."

Later it was because there were only three people: the Sumitomo, the Ten Guards, and the Hanzai. Sanqiro worked hard for me too.

"Aren't you proud that you've accomplished something!?

"There is nothing there. But I can fight the gods and win. I am not proud and not proud to think of things like that! Such pride would suffice if King Six Ten Demons (laughs) had it!

"Don't laugh at your father!

That's how we talked, and we stared at each other in a rough breath.

"Let's settle down, Father."

That's how I glanced at each other, and I put my hands on top and talked in a slow tone to calm my father down.

"First of all, I still have Sanqiro. There is also Kun Liu, who bravely embarked on a battlefield to rematch Kenshin Uesugi. It's not decided to lose, but if you think about it normally, it's a natural battle to win. Let's wait for the results."

In the meantime, I will head back to Kyushu. Stopped by Kyoto on the way to spend a few days with Hal and the kids, and Kyushu. I know it's hard to get information about the East if it's far away, but I still support it shady.

My father snorts at my words. He said he was right. Good, you got it. Then go home.

"If, however, Sanqiro is defeated in this battle, you will"

My exhaled father looked at me with clear eyes and listened. Yes. And I nod.

"If that happens, then..."

"What about then?

"That's when. Danger!!

They threw a tea bowl at me. The tea bowl seemed expensive, although I scratched it at your place. Throw it away. Is it something okay? You wouldn't be weird the week, would you?

"It's a battle, if you can just let the humble boy blow bubbles once. We can make the Uesugi family kneel in a way that completely yields to the Oda family. That way, people living in the northeast and on the edge of Kanto can do whatever they want."

My father, who threw a tea bowl at me, collapsed straight out of his knees and groaned remorsefully. Completely succumb?

"Can you forgive me for the Uesugi family?

"That's what Sanzo and Goro left told me. Kenshin Uesugi doesn't have a real child. For example, it is desirable to name Uesugi after pushing in the children born to Kanjiro in the first place, or in Chiyo Tortoise, from now on, and making them his heirs. Humble says even adopted children from the Hojo family are greatly adorable. If adopting Oda's son is going to make the house safe, I won't say no."

Cheng Cheng. The voice leaked. Sure, my sister's son and an adopted son from the Hojo family. There must have been another one or two adopted. They haven't decided who's the heir, but they've never even heard of someone being given special treatment and, conversely, someone being defied for once. Maybe it just hasn't reached my ear.

"So, because I'm going to help you?

When I asked, my father looked at me like he didn't like it. What else am I going to do? That's the look.

"Three Left and Goro Left are not the only ones. I also spoke to Yoshibui and Kanjiro. Everyone says this area is about to drop. I don't know how."

"That's surprising. Your father would obey the opinions of others like that."

I've come to believe to this day that whatever I decide to do in myself is the person who can do anything.

"If I have enough time to do it, I will."

Like throwing up, my father said. I'm going to regret it. It also seems painful. It couldn't have been that if I had been my father just a little while ago, my breath would have risen and sat up where I made this much noise. I guess my health is also a little depressed.

"That's what you said before. He said it was Kaikuro who told me to get the problem out of the shelf and do something about it."

I do remember saying it. What time was it?

"Tokugawa, Asai, Nagazo. Connections were made with edges for leading and outward-looking names. I had plans to do the same to Uesugi. But two million stones is too big to do it. If it can be sealed in Echigoku, the Oda family will also stand face to face. I wouldn't dare to destroy Uesugi."

The country of Echigo is a great country, but surprisingly the stone height is about 400,000 stones low. The fact that many of the flatlands are unsuitable for cultivation in marshlands is significant. Together with the territory of Echinaka and Kitahino, it is about a million stones. In addition to Kitakanto and Northeast Kanto, and Sadogajima, two million stones are convenient in Uesugi territory today. If it is to admit subordination after taking away 80% of the Echikamichi country and realm, it will certainly also stand up as an Oda family under heaven.

"If that happens, what will happen to Lord Kimchi and the public?

"I accept the harmony of life. There's no better reason for me to crush them than to eliminate the conflict over the treatment of the Uesugi family."

When I heard the words, I accidentally leaked my breath. Relieved. I understood that what my father once said was a person who could not be pulled in, so from now on I will be fighting with the court of morning, burning the interior and back of Kyoto. I thought it was something I would do. But that didn't seem to be necessary.

"Don't get me wrong. Previously, I didn't say anything stupid that I couldn't do. Seriously, if I wanted to do it, I could do it without making it."

My father added words because I looked blatantly relieved.

"If you would have listened to me and agreed with me, I would have pushed the others to do it. Shut up and listen, but you've always had a disgusting look."

"It is"

It seems the same thing that makes me see through my heart with my expression. I think it's been a good day.

"Of course, we'll be tough on the laws of public houses. I will make sure that Kimigami will never leave Kyoto again. If there is anything that goes against the law in the future, I will punish him mercilessly, regardless of his identity. Without the shelter of the Oda family, it must be made clear that they cannot live."

That made me feel like the morning court was right. When my father pressed me into such pressure, all the famous people of Japan paid their hands not to joke, and fought my father, and perished. The most prominent was the Foolish family and the public. That is how they shall be disputed, and the strongest shall prosper, and those who have not succumbed to it shall perish. That's how Wujia came to compete for survival.

If the public had been convinced of it even if his father had deprived him of all his real rights, or the position of General Tsukuba might have been treated as a household job of the Akali family, a minister of the Oda family. Or Kankyuro may have named Hikari, and his generation may have grown from fifteen to sixteen, twenty, and thirty.

The public house, on the other hand, has survived, among other things, the imperial family mingled with the powerful of time and increased its authority without seeking power or force. In this way, if we are to say that we will continue to survive under the asylum of the Oda family and reign at the top of the heavens without real power, then the presence of the Emperor gains a time to increase its authority again.

"What do you think of the Emperor?

"That kind of thing is no different than the head of a pigeon. Everyone says thank you, so thank you."

I was curious and asked the question, and there was an immediate response. It's a fatherly and thoughtful answer.

"If you want to deny it, you think you can deny it at any time?

"That's what you think. In fact, we did something similar once."

My father told me and tilted my neck wondering what it was about. After a while, I was told that I would have burned down the mountain.

"They didn't even imagine that they would encounter the Buddha's authority until just before he burned them. That's what they said. There is Buddha punishment for burning down the avenue of the Patronage State. If you do that, the Oda family will perish. How about that, actually? The Oda family is only one step away from doom. Denial of the authority of your Buddha paved the way in reverse. Before and after that, there is no such thing as a trial where something like what the people who were actually afraid of doing by doing what they were told not to do happened. Because we have authority. Those who laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed

Unlike the anger I was hit with earlier, which took a moment, the words were sober. Calmly speaking, therefore, the content is terrifying, but I also thought it was a fatherly idea.

"I can swear to you, nothing will change if the Oda family fights the public house and destroys this. Doing that would be a big deal. I just want you to say that because I want you to be. Being so is my preference, so I'm just stopping thinking. Both the martial arts and public houses, even if they were or were not, would only slightly change the shape of the heavens. For all the people of heaven, there will be no great difference whether the Takeshi family that has captured heaven is the Oda family, the Uesugi family or the Emperor's family."

"The history of this country is hardly an exaggeration when it comes to the history of the Emperor."

"That's a trick, too. Isn't there a position of General Tsubaki? He's a general who conquers shrimp. The court entrusted it to me. Doesn't that mean that there was once a people in the book of Japan who did not recognize the authority of the emperor? So, did the back feather flip? After being calmed, the East rapidly became peaceful, with flowers blooming on the earth and crops abundantly fruitful? Nothing changes. From the people who lived there at the time, they were only ruled by an invader called the court of morning. Same for Mr. Okushu Fujiwara. Mr. Okushu Fujiwara accepted the national champion from the morning court and sent his contribution indispensably. Instead, it was not the Asylum of the Morning Court that Fujiwara greeted. No intervention from the court. Our existence is never a loss to you. That's why he asked me to leave him alone. Mr. Fujiwara Okushu's answer is" I don't need it "for both the morning court and the emperor. I don't believe that Okinawa humans at the time lived the authority of the court of morning, in need of the divine power of the emperor. Still, Mr. Fujiwara of Okinawa has been glorious for centuries. Therefore."

It is no different from the head of a pigeon. and my father tightened it with the same words as the first.

"You talk too much. That's enough. Go. You'll be busy too."

My father, who had finished speaking, was disappointed to drop his shoulder. It was a sadly painted shoulder.

"Don't worry. I can't cut the emperor or press him to scrap. Just tighten the guardian's reins for a long time before Kingsguard. Until this year's snow accumulates, we will continue our attacks, and after that, we will reconcile our lives and draw the samurai regiments of the East into the ministry of the Oda family. Until the third year of the war."

"Father..."

"When this battle is over, I will hide. I left the rest to you. I need you to work with Sanjiro and the others and help Kaikuro often."

My father laughed when he saw me. It didn't suit my father, it was a gentle smile.

"If... if there's anything like Sanqiro losing"

I spoke slowly to my father.

"Hmm?"

My father looked at me like he was scared. I didn't want to see my father move so calm and relaxed.

"I'm talking about the Upper Cedar attack. In the unlikely event that Sanqiro is defeated, I will also have to give Sanqiro's hindsight as the general of the Oda family's western attack. Therefore, I will wipe some buttocks."

"Right, thanks!

"Huh?"

Shubba, my father approached me and took my hand as fast as I could hear it.

"I'm relieved that you said that. No, good. Now the Admiral after Sanqiro has decided."

"No, I didn't say we were headed to the battlefield."

"Boulder, you are a good brother. Does it resemble Brother Goro Saburo? What is my brother's butt wipe? Right. You're the only one who can make Misuke blow a bubble against the defeated god."

"No, not like diplomacy or manipulation"

"Kankyuro said it too. I only have the earliest knife brother. Don't worry, you'll be fine. No, good. Don't worry. Don't worry."

"Hey, Father"

"Sorry, it's time for me to go to bed. I've entrusted you with everything!

As I said, my father ran away to shake off my restraint. As if the weak move to earlier was a lie. Or it was a move that was rarely seen to be a lie.

"... Shit."

That's how I fall off my knees. This belt knife, lifelong unconsciousness.
