In the end, Mitsune could not make a single mouthful of her demands in a meeting with Hideyoshi.

On the contrary, I would have to say that it was a scathing meeting from the standpoint of being shown a crappy salmon play and being drunk by a seven-year-old boy.

After leaving between glances, the same tough look Sang-chung as usual. That's what I decided to ask him about this time around.

"Lord Jibu... how was this meeting?

The look on Sang-sung's face when he glimpsed the faithfulness remains the same.

"What do you mean?

"You and Your Highness intend to be in harmony with the Imperial Palace, as you wish?

Sansei stopped to ask the question.

And when you stare at the faithfulness,

"Yuanjiro. At this point, let me be clear."

and slows the voice down a little. To go with it, Faithfulness also looked back at Sang-sang with a serious look and nodded.

"This battle is now to protect the glory of the late Taiko and the Toyotomi family.

Even if it's His Highness's intention, you can't bow your head off me even though there's something wrong over there.

If we do that, the power of the inner government will increase, and the survival of the Toyotomi family will only be diminished. "

Sansei stressed the determination once again at once.

"Does that mean I will not obey Your Highness's intentions?

Shinto asks straight in. Mitsune's expression did not change in any way in response to a question that could be called incitement.

That seems to show his strong determination.

"I was called to show the 'play', not to give me the knowledge of harmony with the inner house. Didn't you? Yuanjiro"

"That's true... given the hidden meaning in that play, it seems just like I ordered Lord Jibu to be harmonious..."

Even though it is hard to say, the faithfulness that enquires further. Sansei quietly drank him like that.

"It's tough, Yuanjiro. Besides, this has already been decided. It could be harmonious right now."

"Excuse me for this"

Shinto lowered his head and avoided any further mention, as he was pushed by the sword curtain of Mitsune.

When I think of it, a man named Sansei, once he decides to "do this," even if Tai Chi stops him, he doesn't bend his will. Though Your Highness, I guess it wasn't possible from the outset to bend his justice lightly, to the extent that the boy acted.

At the same time, Faithfulness sympathized with excellence for which he could not clearly say what he wanted because of his young age.

But the word that came out of the next Sang-seong was unexpected to Shinji.

"But this meeting has paid off."

"I wonder what that is."

"His Royal Highness is going to be one or another general."

Faithfulness was haphazard.

It reminded me of the fatal failure of Hideyoshi.

That's what he doesn't even know. He took Nagato Komaki's battle with him and said no to Mitsune.

But Sansei didn't seem suspicious about it.

"That one drink was something that resonated with my heart.

I look forward to the future now. "

And I narrow my eyes and rejoice as I do about my child.

And when you tighten your loose look again,

"That's why I'll never let Jiayang do whatever he wants! Yuanjiro! You will win this battle, whatever it is!

And he wanted to burn the flame of his determination even stronger by absurding his discourse.

Shinto once again sympathizes with Hideyoshi.

I guess I was going to control Mitsune in this meeting, but on the contrary, I ended up with the result that I set that fighting spirit on fire...

Thus the talks between Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Sansei Ishida ended in farewell, without fruitful performances of Hideyoshi's full body.

That means that history will continue to follow the textbooks of a distant future, with no change at all.

But... ironically, things didn't fit in.

When I thought one shadow blew through the hallway of Osaka Castle like a glimpse of wind, I immediately disappeared outside the major gate.

"We need to tell your hotel about this soon..."

So crushed was one of those who Tokugawa Jiayang unleashed on Osaka Castle.

He was the one who was monitoring whether there was no danger to Chihime, who had moved from Fushimi to Osaka Castle avoiding war.

But I saw this "play" and the last drink that Hideyoshi had unleashed from the attic, and I was struck by a sense of impatience that I had to tell the Lord (or Jiayang) about the whole thing, and I couldn't stay.

The reason for this is clear.

"Hideyoshi looks very different from yesterday"

And because I noticed intuitively.

And the original purpose, Thousand Princesses' surveillance, was left to another, and he rushed to Tokaido alone.

Yes... this meeting is an excellent

"I want to make my position better"

Contrary to the thought, it became one of the factors that more jeopardized that position…

In the absence of the person at the time, it was the result of a scatter of "crying bees," such as luck that he didn't get to know it in person?

Thus, Hideyoshi Toyotomi, with different "contents", left one ripple in history.

The wave is now a small one and may not lead to moving history.

But this ripple, like the beginning of the domino knockout, had the potential to inspire things to move significantly later on.

But no one knew about it now.
