Yoshiji Otani, who retreated after being ambushed by a platoon of Fujido Takatigers in the mountains of Matsuo, rushed to his father's place to confirm the appearance of his father Yoshie Otani.
"Father! Are you all right!
"What a prick. Why don't you go back sooner than that? It doesn't matter about me. Now think only of taking the neck of Jingo Chinese."
The voice that scolds me so is weak. Is it an arrow wound if you look at it? The white fabric in the vertical is dyed red.
But Yoshiji drew his father's thoughts with the reprimand, and immediately turned back to the front.
And against the nearby Yuasa Gosuke, who is waiting to lean close to Yoshisei,
"Ask for my father"
After a short time, he rushed straight to the front line where enemy soldiers pushed him.
The fighting that followed was extremely harsh.
Even though the direct SS protecting Yoshihei is a small number around Gosuke Yuasa, he plays more than a mutual battle with the coalition forces of Fujido and Kyoko coming up from the foot of the mountain, pushing back with the temper of not letting Yoshihei, who has already suffered many wounds, touch any more fingers.
On the other front line, Yoshiji's gestures and the army of Oyagawa and Fujido were scattered with fierce sparks.
As a result, the inner belly of Matsuo Mountain became Shura's alley.
Continuing onslaught.
But the difference in force was historical, and the surrounding Otani army visibly reduced its numbers.
There are countless arrow wounds and sword wounds engraved on Yoshiji's body as well.
Looks like he bled a little too much, his head tries to hang out, and his consciousness is going to fly when he gets distracted.
But every time,
"If you go to the top, the view changes"
I told myself, squeezing out the mood to go up.
Still, the body is at its limits.
The sword that keeps pretending is heavy.
My legs are as heavy as I put lead on, and I can breathe just one step ahead of them.
The air is thin. My heart is beating so hard that I think it might burst...
Still.
"Go to the top and the view will change..."
And if I chanted like a spell, it seemed to Yoshiji that the father behind me would push my back with an invisible hand.
Yoshie had a busy day supporting the Toyotomi regime while Yoshiji was invaded by the disease from an early age. As a result, the amount of conversations between parents and children may have been smaller than in a normal home.
Still, Yoshiji never felt lonely or anything. On the contrary, I was so proud of my father.
In retrospect now, climbing mountains with me at an early age may have been my only memory of such a father. But the memories are now in his power.
One step, another.
Every time I stepped out of my foot, my father Yoshihei said from my back, "Don't lose!" I feel like you're speaking to me.
Though there are few conversations he has had, the teachings left by his father serve as his wings to spark his mind forward.
"Go to the top and the view will change..."
Finally, my eyes are blurring.
Hot as my stomach burns. Probably deeply wounded. The blood flowing from it seems to take away much of him.
But still, my father won't allow him to give up.
"You're as unwilling as ever!" He laughs at me.
Every time a young victory arouses his heart.
How many times have you done that again...
"Go to the top and the view will change..."
I was no longer conscious when I said so.
That undoubtedly shows Yoshiji that the shadow of death is closing in without a sound, but he hasn't noticed.
But he was happy to be here.
Because I felt like I had a lot of conversation with my father.
Because we spent so much time together.
Let's end this here already...
The moment he tried to give himself up to "death"...
"If you go to the top, the view changes... don't give up. Yoshiji."
The voice did not allow him to fall of his own will.
With that "true" father's voice, he wakes up.
Right behind you you can hear my father's rough breath. Seems that was no longer the last shout of power.
Sitting neatly on the top of his throat, Yoshihei could no longer even lift his head.
Oh... what an infidel I am...
He regretted that he was about to give up from himself without keeping his father's teachings.
Looking up.
There's one big bird...
He lifts up his voice and looks softly into the sky.
Does that bird see that view...
Oh... I want to see it.
Give me that view my father wanted to show.
Dream of my father...
His eyes burn loose.
And the knife in both hands also burned.
"Go to the top and the view will change! Let's go!!
My legs aren't heavy anymore. My body is as light as wings grew on my back.
He got over something then.
And that's...
It meant that history was greatly distorted.
Yoshiji won't stop.
The spear, the knife, everything never stopped him.
Firstly, he scattered and dispersed so that the platoon of Fujido, who appeared as reinforcements, would only enter the momentum. Seeing it, the army of the creek fears greatly and rushes to the summit with us.
Many soldiers who were waiting at the top of the mountain to be pushed out by it went down the mountain opposite the direction the Otani army had climbed.
It was Hideaki Kowakawa, the general general, who stood at the head of that Kowakawa army and descended the mountain in desperate shape.
And finally...
Yoshiji Otani reached the top of the mountain.
Already the sun is high and the morning fog is clear as lies. That was a good time.
"Yoshie Otani is the minister, Sukeyoji Otani University!! Take over the enemy formation!!
With that brave voice, the euphoric ambition rises from the gesture of surviving Yoshiji Otani. Everyone's face is covered in mud and their clothes are dyed red with scratches made all over their bodies.
But the expression was filled with fulfillment that accomplished something.
Later Yoshisei Otani joins Gosuke Yuasa in the main formation of Hideaki Koyakawa.
The main units of Fujido and Kyoko, coming up from the foothills, do not yet come up, and there seems to be no sign that the troops of the retreating creek will also climb to the summit to see how things are going.
It was a moment when silence and tranquillity were allowed for Otani parents and children, although only for a few moments.
"Father..."
Speak from Yoshiji to Yoshihei. But I don't see any words following it.
Then Yoshihei did one favor for him.
"Yoshiji... can't you be my eyes?
It was a desire to convey in words the view seen from the top of the mountain.
Upon hearing his father's wishes, Yoshiji, together with Gosuke, takes charge and takes him to a place where the plains of Sekigahara are well visible.
The conversation follows here pale.
"Yoshiji, what do you see...?
"You can see people killing each other."
"What do you think of that view?
"I don't think it's a very good view"
"The scenery… change it with Lord Toyotomi Hideyoshi"
"Let's be with Lord Toyotomi Hideyoshi, not Tokugawanai Prefecture?
"This is my father's 'as a person' selfishness"
"My name is...?
"Seeing this figure of my father, the only tears filled with mercy were the late Tai Chi and the first Lord Toyotomi Hideyoshi. The Tokugawachi Prefecture... wasn't.
I didn't even care about my father's illness when it came to Jibe Ishida and Hiroshi.
That's the only reason. My father's selfish wishes... will you listen to me?
"Okay. This Yoshiji Oya. In order not to be ashamed of the name of Yoshihei Otani's son, together with Lord Hideyoshi Toyotomi, I will try to create the scenery my father dreamed of."
"Thank God... my father was really happy with a son named Yoshiji"
"I am also proud of my father."
"Then... go. You must live, live and serve. Yoshiji."
With the thoughts contained in the last word, Gosuke, who is refraining beside him, also seems to have understood Yoshihei's determination.
I'm nagging and crying and whimpering.
Yoshiji, of course, finds himself ready for his father, but he doesn't show tears.
More than grieving, the mission entrusted to him by his father strengthens his heart.
And Yoshiji left the scene alone.
"Live... I'll live"
◇ ◇
In future generations, when history has since changed, the term "reverse drop of college assistance" will be possible.
It was a legendary enemy breakthrough in the battle of Sekigahara, just like the famous "Shimazu exit".
Yes, Yoshiji Otani and his gesture 500, after the summit, stormed with the momentum of the bamboo toward the forces of Hideaki Koyakawa, about 10,000, who rearranged themselves at the foot of the mountain.
Its troops blurred Hideaki's main formation, and Yoshiji's godly voice and appearance completely destroyed Hideaki's spirit.
Hideaki Koyakawa said that after the battle of Sekigahara, he became scared of Yoshiji's phantoms and began to drink heavily.
And in modern times, acute alcoholism would close just 21 years of life.
That was only two years after the Battle of Sekigahara ended.
Yoshiji, on the other hand, succeeded in descending down Matsuo Mountain and fleeing toward Osaka, while eventually reducing the number of his soldiers to only 50.
Here came one brave man to be called the "Seven Stars of Toyotomi".
But there is one thing to remember.
Why didn't Fujido or Kyoko's troops follow Yoshiji's back?
"Gosuke... I'm sorry about everything. I let a selfish man named Yoshie Otani hang out with me."
The summit of Mount Matsuo. Only 30 soldiers remained there.
Everyone had one thought.
Everyone nods without showing one tear in Yoshihei's faint voice.
"Then why don't we serve for the last time to protect the man this prison entrusted with the dream? That's not the worst part."
Yoshihei Otani took off the fabric that covered his face with his own hands.
What was there was the best smile people would show after they had done something.
He saw it at the top of the mountain.
Best dreams… through my son's eyes.
"The view from the top... spectacular"
And at the next moment, instruct the assault.
Towards the army of Fujido and Kyoto to reach the summit of the mountain...
"If there is a contract... wait for the sixth... there will be delays and precedence..."
When he leaked it during the assault, he had two friends in his mind.
Yoshihei Otani... the life is lost through the intervention of Gosuke Yuasa. And Gosuke also died spectacularly by slashing some of Fujido's soldiers down again.
By then, Yoshiji had already passed to the foothills on the other side, returning to the battlefield of Sekigahara without Fujido and Kyoko-san.
Here a wing that Sansei Ishida relied on as "the right wing" collapsed. But there, certain parents and children were indeed given the "sacrifice".
And at this time, near Matsuo Mountain, one of the other "Toyotomi's Seven Stars" was struggling.
Let's say we move our eyes there next.
