……

All the boards leaving the church were walking around the city of Nagasaki in fluttering footsteps. He didn't even wear the rain, and his body, which he entrusted to the heavy rain, was completely cold, but more than that, his heart was frozen.

The carrying of that foot, which had managed to proceed, also stopped the movement at last, and as it was, he fell on his back.

Wet cheeks, tears or rain...

But that doesn't matter. Because he doesn't even have the energy to wipe it...

I remember when they used to say "Mogura".

self back then who was humble and root-dark.

Still, I kept admiring the light outside me back then.

- Whatever you do, it doesn't work... If so, I should have done nothing from the start...

When ugly regrets cover the inside of your chest, you are exclaiming yourself feeling sorry for it.

But it doesn't come out of his mouth.

He was so struck that he couldn't even leave it to his instincts to scream out of his mouth anymore.

- I want to keep flowing with the rainwater...

Crushing in my mind like that, I stopped thinking about anything more.

The rain that keeps shaking hits my face with a chilling noise.

Few people were out in the morning due to heavy rain, and no one cared, even if he was in big letters.

And the loud sound of the rain was knocking out the footsteps that approached him.

The rain keeps swinging.

Like representing his grief...

It was some time later...

When I thought I saw a black shadow in front of him, the rain that was hitting him so hard on his cheek stopped.

No, it still sounds rainy...

When the senses and thoughts returned little by little to all the boards, a voice was called out there.

"If it hits too much rain, it's not good for you."

Hearing is not the only thing that has returned to all the climbs.

I also have my vision back.

Therefore, his eyes clearly reflected the face of the bearer of his voice.

"Why... why..."

Still, couldn't he have gotten the word back...

No, that was all he could say now.

That is, this was everything.

The man's bright red umbrella protects all boards from the rain.

The owner of that umbrella...

Needless to say, Hideyoshi Uchita, former head of All Deng... was that person.

"Why? I don't...

I'm here to lend an umbrella to a friend. "

"Dear Hideya... WHY... WHY!!!

Why are you here!?

Why are you protecting me from the rain!?

Why...

Why... didn't you let me die then...!?

Why...!?

Such a "why" comes to mind next to next, but unspoken.

That is because emotions outweigh reason, and the heart hitting by despair until now was so expensive that it also ascended to heaven with great wings the moment it saw Hideyoshi's face.

Someone I most admired and felt greatly beneficial to is in front of me.

Maybe he's dead... and he's given up reunion, there's that person.

The emotions that creep up were uncontrollable, and it whimpered and came out of my mouth.

"Wow!!!

I miss you... I miss you!!

To all such boards, Hideya crouched down and put his face close, he said gently.

"I missed you too, all of you!

All Deng wept, still wanting to be rude to Hideya, when he slowly woke up, Hideya powerfully supported his back.

And Hideya spoke out against all the boards that still had no words.

"I've already heard the circumstances.

Looks like you're still struggling...

I was the first one to struggle... "

"Oh, no... I've never thought of it like that"

"Oh, your lord always was.

I endured any filth and stood up to any grudge.

He was the strongest man in the Uchita family. "

All Akashi has a history of partitioning Ujita disturbances where your house was broken in two, and putting the Ujita family together by younger and only one person.

It was all just desperate to reward Hideyoshi, who had been slapped in the pussy with "Mogura" and had never stood out, more than anyone else... that's what I thought.

And now the word "the strongest man in the Uchita family" was uttered by the Soo family.

All Deng knew was how to express his gratitude only by lowering his face wet in tears and rain.

Hideya continues.

You're my proud friend.

"and... friends...?

"Oh, my proud... dear friend, the man named Akashi Omotesan..."

"Oh... no... that's what I do..."

- Don't make yourself despised after this. What would the Uchita family's best man do at such a rate?

That's unspoken, but Hideya speaks that way with a smile and strong eyes.

All Deng lost his words to his eyes.

Hideya continues.

"A friend like that is beaten by grief and wet in the rain, isn't she?

If I give you an umbrella, you won't be punished. "

Hideyoshi's blurry, but enveloping warmth melts the frozen hearts of all the boards.

The overflowing emotions became hot tears falling as they were, making the wet ground extra damp with rain.

Hideya went on further.

"But pity is mine.

I can only give you an umbrella with my suffering friend in front of me. "

"Oh no... what a waste..."

"As you know, I'm being chased now.

I can't thank my friends enough to help me. "

"That's... that's who it is..."

Hideyoshi shakes his head to the side to control the continuation of the words of All Deng.

"But all the boards... I know.

You are a bad man to give up. That's your strength.

Maybe just because of the evil of giving up, the Sun Book One... no, my other friend was pretty much that too...

Anyway, no matter how stomped you were, you were standing up. "

"... but..."

"So even if I can't do anything, you can get up again.

And I'm not giving up. Didn't I? "

All Deng was found to have a stronger tone in the Xiujia, as well as an increase in the temperature of blood around his body.

Seeing the eyes of all the boards that have brought their own light, Hideya continues.

"Didn't they just say no once?

And in other people's words... just a piece of paper...

Can you give up your thoughts without telling them how you feel?

You thought your passion would be conveyed without knowing the color of the other person's eyes, just because of the paper-cut interaction!?

"It's..."

"If they're not over here. Hey, you go!

All you have to do is hit it directly in the face and in your stomach with your own passion!

Hideyoshi's words fell asleep in the back of the hearts of all the boards, like lions, against a noble and strong passion: "Wake up! ♪ And it brings me up. ♪

"If you still don't listen..."

Hideya hung up the words there and stared at all the boards with burning eyes. He stares back at his eyes without even pulling off all the tents. And swallowed the sauce and spit.

"In time, don't rely on him... push your way through"

The meaning of the word…

That is, if the Jesuits refuse to cooperate in vain, try to gather people on their own without relying on the Catholic Church itself…

Go directly to the other person...

That's how it seemed to all the boards.

"Such a great thing... that it does..."

In response to all the boards that said so, Hideya forcefully told all the boards with the hands of those who did not have an umbrella on their shoulders.

"Don't come together small, all of you. Remember, you're my proud friend."

Hideya, who told him so, walked slowly out of his head, avoiding rain, wearing the golden feathers that had been woven on his feathers when he handed them to all the boards, as if they represented the colour of the passion that awakened all the boards.

"Dear Hideya!!

Towards its back as it leaves, all the boards call desperately.

But Hideya never looked back, never stopped that leg.

Because of the rain that falls, the distance just opens up a little, and its appearance becomes sumptuous. Still, all the boards did not stand up and chase him.

Do not chase…

Because it didn't seem that way.

A tear that should have stopped once again transmits the cheek, but its temperature is more feverish than it was earlier.

Still, a word, an uncontrollable untrained came out of my mouth loud.

"Umbrella...! I will definitely give it back!! So... so until then..."

Hideya, who stopped at the words, slowly revived.

The look of it...

"Dreams" All Deng Saw...

I value my friend above all else and spare no life for him, his temper, his way of life...

It was exactly what all the boards admired as the "raspberry" man stand-up.

All the boards screamed desperately as they prayed to get any closer to that appearance.

"Until then, go ahead and master!!!

Hideya's mouth faintly loosens.

"Oh, it's a promise"

That said, Hideya disappeared into the city of Nagasaki without looking back.

◇ ◇

In historical fact, after the battle of Sekigahara, the Uchita Hideyoshi family fleeing to Kyushu will be covered in Satsuma, but when they are taken to Tokugawa Jiayang by Chungheng Shimazu in the seventh year of Keio (1602), they will be sent to Hachishima in the eleventh year of Keio (1606).

But...

6 Years of Celebration (1601) June -

Beautiful, dressed in flashy golden feathers, came all the way to the main gate of Fushimi Castle, home to Tokugawa Jiayang.

The gatekeeper, who had suspicious the man of the men, such as the "scuffler," saw the man approaching the gate, and rushed to control it.

"Lord, who the hell are you? Name your name and tell me what you want!

The man, with his dignified chest stretched, answered out loud, even with his sharp, glowing spear tip in front of him, without moving at all.

"I call Hideya Uchitaku, Hideyoshi Uchitaku, and Hideyoshi Toyotomi is one of the five great elders, the Premier.

I have a ritual to ask the Tokugawachi Prefecture!

Open up there!!

"Premier" … there is no such thing as a samurai who doesn't know his name in this day and age.

And his eye-catching face, his flashy bullshit, and his tense, clear batch of barometrists lowered the tip of the spear and passed through the spot.

Excellent house advances to the gate with a prestigious attitude.

The gatekeepers, who finally returned to me, caught up with his back,

"Premier! I will see if the Uchifu will see you soon, so please wait here often!

And, as I said hitting and changing and lowering my hips earlier, as I was convinced by the words, Hideya stopped on his feet.

………

……

"Well, I didn't know the Lord would come to me himself."

And, Jiayang Tokugawa said so when he saw the Xiujia sitting in front of him. The voice is relieved that the swelling has been removed.

"I never thought I'd see you again in such a place."

and Hideya answered resolutely, without being pushed by the intimidation unleashed by Jiayang.

And Jia Kang's eyes narrow on the answer.

"Hmm... does that mean I thought we were going to meet again somewhere else...?

A faint grin spilled over Hideyoshi's mouth at the inquiry of his family.

"Getting old doesn't mean you can't go too far."

"Hmm! My lord, if you're speaking out of your own way, that liver is more praiseworthy.

Well, good.

I'm busy, as you know.

For as the Great Five, we must do the work of the Lord. "

"I don't remember asking... well, I didn't come here to tell you such a wild story at this time.

I got one favor for you today.

It was the same five elders. Why don't you ask me one thing?

Then Heavenly Sea, sitting beside Jia Kang, laughed with shards and a high voice.

"Kakaka! The more I feel, the more I try! What an idiot or a big man... that's something like a fat spouse!

Your Highness, may I ask this man's wishes? "

Hideya glanced at Tianhai.

"Well... I don't think you're probably either... but I do have that word for you."

And I bowed lightly.

"Well, if I don't want a sowing country, or something big, I'm not gonna ask you."

And Jia Kang said to Xiu Jia. He was also interested in what wishes Hideya would offer until he bowed his head to himself, once an enemy general.

Then Hideya shouted his wish when he thanked him deeply, as he rubbed his head against the floor.

"Tokugawa Uchi Temple! Please, please forgive me Akashi sweeping all heads and their rows to leave the country!!

Neither Jia Kang nor Tianhai have difficulty reacting to that wish without too much clapping.

Hideyoshi went on about them like that.

"All Deng is now putting his life at risk in gathering researchers from Toyokuni School, made by Toyotomi Hideyoshi.

I really need to talk to you in an exotic country to fulfill that mission.

It's an important mission to brighten the future of this day's book and enrich the lives of our people!

It's a mission where one man's life is at stake!

To fulfill that mission, allow all boards out of Nagasaki's harbor to leave the country!

Please!! You're right!!

Around this time, the Tokugawa family had jurisdiction over most of the major ports used to deal with exotic countries, including Nagasaki. For this reason, even if it was not a deal, it was strictly controlled, especially with regard to ships in which the Japanese embarked and left the country.

Hideya, who knew about it, called directly on Jiayang so that all the boards could safely leave the country.

"My Lord... did you not ask me only for that, that I should not be imprisoned, that is, that I appeared before this me, regardless of what would happen to his life..."

"It's just that... he's not listening to me, Uchi.

This is my dear friend, coming with his life at stake, in other words, like a war.

I have no country, no soldiers, and all I can give my life for my friends is to bow my head to the Imperial Palace like this. What's wrong with that?

A strong word that won't even pull a step toward a mighty opponent. Strong eyes.

I looked up and stared into Jiayang's eyes, and Heavenly Sea, sitting beside me, gave him another loud laugh.

"Kakaka! This is the man I looked up to! Exactly man up!!

Good! Not good! Lord Uchi! I put his life on the line. Can I ask him that wish?

"Hmm, Temple of Heaven and Sea. Even if you don't tell the Lord, I'm going to."

and Jiayang said as he turned from the Xiujia to Tianhai.

When Hideyoshi smiled full face at the words,

"Ha!! That's the Tokugawachi Prefecture under heaven! They weren't the only ones with big earlobes and bellies! Ha ha!

"Hey, what!?

and Jiayang with a reddish face and rounded eyes. Tianhai laughs even louder when she sees how it goes.

With them on their asses, Hideyoshi stood up and tried to leave the spot.

Jia Kang rushes to stop Xiu Jia.

"Hey, wait. Where are you going?

Looking back at the inquiry, Hideya told him with a smile.

"Let's make up our minds, we're going to Fushimi's house. Give me some guidance."

As if nothing had happened, Hideyoshi ran out of words that also felt refreshing.

Tianhai continued to laugh happily everywhere at his appearance.
