One room in the magnificent Osaka Castle, one old man lay ill in this room, located at its highest. Consciousness tries, and it's suspicious who I am anymore.

In the meantime, he was dreaming in his sleep.

A young man with a familiar face is watching the world of Tahei from a large window in this room.

That face has a sunny smile. With the refreshing wind entering through the windows, the soft hair is nimble, the shining eyes stare at the high blue sky everywhere, and their ears are tilted by ordinary people singing peace of the castle town.

- Oh... I'm glad you look like your mother...

The old man lay a shadow on the appearance of the young man, the mother of the young man - that is, his wife.

I'm glad I never looked like myself, because he wasn't confident in its appearance.

He couldn't stop crying as he dreamed.

And the tears led him to awakening, and his dream of transferring the future he wanted came to an end.

- Oh...

- I guess I disappeared and fell and disappeared... something is another dream.

The dream he saw disappeared with the tear "Tsuyu" and the appearance of a young man staring happily at Tahei's (current Osaka thing) was nothing more than a false fantasy… the desire for the dream to become a reality did not stop tightening his chest.

◇ ◇

Hideyoshi Toyotomi, who excelled in glory in a generation - he excelled in rank (or so), but in the midst of his death, there was only one thing he wanted.

"Oh... my sweet Hideyoshi... the future of the Lord is all I have left..."

He has done everything he can with the footsteps of death in front of him approaching him.

Five elders and five servants and other institutions were developed so that one Yingjie would not spook the seat of excellence, and in the sense of suppressing the Tokugawa Jiayang, who has particular power among them, welcomed his son, Chihiko, the daughter of excellence, to the daughter-in-law of excellence.

But still, he was not worried about my little five-year-old.

It has been about 3 months since Daigo's Hanami saw it and he can't even stand up on his own. It was more obvious than to see the fire that the end of his life was imminent.

In the meantime he dreamed. It is a dream that mirrors the "past" rather than the "future" of earlier times. It was also a memento of Saturday, when he spoke of Chiriku, who was a tea man and one of his two best friends. In that dream, Ritual Rest told us… there is no doubt that it is a single straw flowing in the river. But it was even a thought for him now.

"Somebody! Anyone!?

On the morning of the summer day, when he felt better, he woke up desperate to lay down sick and called his horse (around).

As he immediately responded to his voice, Fusuma was immediately opened, and one seemingly young man appeared before him.

"Oh, Left Guardsor! Right here! Close!

"Ha!"

The young man came near Hideyoshi with joy in his expression at the goodness of the Lord's blood colour, and knelt down once more.

It is the kind of good young man who paints this pure picture that will become known by future generations in the name of Masada Left Weimensa Shinzuki, commonly known as "Masada Yukimura".

Hideyoshi put his mouth close to such a faithful ear and did him one favor. Regardless, it is a loathsome content that Ritual Leave told itself in his dreams. He was a faithful man with a strange look on his request, but he nodded silently, unable to even say "no" when he looked into the Lord's soothing eyes.

"Oh! Thanks! Thanks!"

That appearance of crying and expressing gratitude was no different from that of a pathetic commoner in the afterlife, far from calling himself a heavenly man.

◇ ◇

After noon that day, Shinnon brought one woman before Hideyoshi.

I wear a large fabric softly from my head, and I can't see its expression. In a nutshell, she was only a "creepy" woman. No, at first glance, she couldn't even tell by appearance that she was a woman. But for Hideyoshi, it didn't matter whether the person was a man or a woman.

"Oh... your lord is rumored to be... a user of black magic?

Hideyoshi, unlike in the morning, with a weak voice, still wakes up diligently and invites the woman.

Faithfulness was going to support his back like that and go out with him in a play (deflection) that would be the Lord's final period. Of course, it is important if this kind of thing enters the ears of the Ishida Metallurgical Department (about Mitsune Ishida) and Tokugawanai Prefecture (about Jiayang Tokugawa). He asked his elder Kirikitori and the former (Katagori) and other horsemanships to pay strictly, and he decided to lay low that there was a suspicious black magician on the scene.

The woman responded to Hideyoshi's invitation in silence and walked loosely from before Fusuma to his eyes. No wonder and its footsteps at all, and I'm even suspicious if it really stands on the ground.

But Hideyoshi pleaded with one breath, not caring, such as those of us who didn't seem to be her approximate regular people.

"I have one more favor to ask of you... my son... if you would have made Hideyoshi strong."

Hideyoshi laid his hands on the woman from above the floor, bowing his head, with an ancient wishful tail of peace nobility. Faithfulness didn't find the appearance very interesting, but honest he kept silently supporting the Lord's back.

Then the woman opens her mouth for the first time. Faith surprised me a little that I had a younger voice besides my thoughts.

"Strength of a person is what is gained not by spell but by training. Master Tai's wish... unfortunately, it cannot be fulfilled."

Hideyoshi piqued her ears at her words like that, but her head (Kobe) remained drooling.

The woman, who checked the condition, continued with her breath.

"But... you can change Hideyoshi's 'contents'. For example, replace it with someone who knows the future and destiny of his… no book of this day…"

Hideyoshi hasn't turned his head enough to understand what the woman is saying. However, it is not the case that you are prudently inquisitive when it comes to taking. He answered instantly.

"Bye! Do that for me!

But I disagree with the answer.

"Please wait! Lord! Doesn't that mean Hideyoshi will no longer be you!? You can't do that!

The woman turned her attention to the beheaded young man. I can't look at the look on that face, but it will probably come as a surprise.

"Shut up! Be modest! Left Guardsor! You want my opinion!?

"Ha! This is too much. Imitate it!

Faith withheld surprise at the fierce fury that made him feel as a young man. But at the same time he was joyful at the vibrancy of his voice.

You're not interested in such a subordinate exchange, the woman sees we've talked.

"Then... two years from now... unfortunately, Master Tai won't be able to see it. Are you sure? And the reward... is what Tai Chi takes care of Hideyoshi's next... but let me tell you... is that okay too?

And asked Hideyoshi in case.

Hideyoshi shows a nod of affirmation instead of answering it by mouth, in tears. It was telling the truth that he no longer even had enough power to put it into words.

The woman, who sees the snort, turns around and tries to leave the scene without a sound.

- It's not good to be seen by anyone else in the castle.

and realized that Shinji immediately put Hideyoshi to sleep on the floor, chasing the woman. But when she had left Fusuma, she had already disappeared, looking nowhere in the castle.

Faith shook me for the first time in its creepy existence.

"What a woman..."

And after this, Shinto did not find this woman in Kyo and Osaka...

It's the day after that...

Toyotomi Tai took Hideyoshi's breath away.

She is 62 years old.

He said he was doing well until that morning and that the death did not bode too well.

It was as if it had been a curse or something, and all of a sudden it ended its life.
