Celebrating 7 Years (1602) March 16 -

Rushui Kuroda had been stuck in Fushimi Castle since morning. It was for Tokugawa to take over the following matters from Kyushu. Even when it came to taking over, it was to receive a book to make progress in the manipulation, the presence of which Honta Honesty did.

In the raucous spring sunshine, a young samurai, brought by Rushui Kuroda, is carrying documents for good reason. Rushui was sending them to his mansion, which was in the ambush. It was the mountains that wanted Osaka Castle to be his base, rather than this Fushimi mansion, which would have breathed Tokugawa Jiayang's breath, but adding to the impact on Hideyoshi had no choice.

Even the contents of the letter are checked, and the water divides what is to be taken from what is to be left behind.

Honda Makoto appeared to him like that.

"You're a genius, Lord Rushui."

And when Honesty spoke in an unexpectedly light voice, Rushui replied with a smile.

"Kakaka! It's a lot easier because I let the young people carry the heavy baggage, because the essence doesn't sweat when it comes out!

In the way it looks like water, Honesty also has a gentle smile out of her shoulders.

Very unlikely to be the face to face of "Tokugawa's Wisdom Bag" and "Toyotomi's Wisdom Bag," the atmosphere was a perfect fit for the spring climate.

"However, I didn't expect to receive the next story from Kyushu this time, Lord Rushui, who is in hiding. Anyway, he refused to accept it..."

"Kakaka! When you start hiding, you have no choice but to do things. I wish I could help Tahei under the sky with such an old bone, so I took it on."

"I see... that's a special triumph."

So when the conversation stopped, Masayoshi watched as Rushui glanced through the book.

In the garden, right on the side, the whimpering voices of the little birds. And the sound of a refreshing breeze shaking the trees. In it, there is a rushing sound of young samurai rushing to and from the hallway.

Water as silently eyeing the book without uttering a word. The honesty of staring at him with a serene look without saying a word like that...

Such idyllic time lasted for a while.

Fu and Honesty spoke out.

"Have you lost a little... weight?

Shui replied quietly, looking at her uppermost and slightly honest.

"In the meantime... I'm not sure myself.

And the Lord said, "The wrinkles on my forehead have increased."

"Ho... looks like you've offered me something I don't need"

"What... it's fine. These days, there are fewer people to talk about without this kind of other love."

And when Rushui leaked with a voice that seemed heartless or lonely, silence reigned again.

There are no words.

But without words, there had arisen a strange emotional exchange unique to the two of them.

That still seems to be having a conversation, lightening the minds of the two of us.

may be a strange sight from the sight of it, but they were both piercing silence with faces that seemed to be fun-filled.

- Oh, still, a man named Rushui Kuroda is the only wise man without a shoulder...

When such an emotion covered the breasts of honesty, he thought of an inevitable near future, and his heart only began to wind cold, like a deciduous autumn.

And after a while...

At last, Honesty decided to go into action.

Honesty, in the same serene tone, threw the question into the water.

"Why are you so shouldered by Hideyoshi Toyotomi?

My hand stopped turning the Book of Rushui to the words.

When the spring breeze blows just a little hard, the sound of the trees shaking deliberately becomes louder.

And after the wind stopped for a while, Rushui answered in a serene tone that remained the same.

"Dreams… Yet…"

Honesty's eyes circled over the unexpected answer to Rushui.

When he saw how it was, Rushui spoke with a puffiness.

"I love dreaming... through the eyes of those I serve...

We used to follow His Highness Tai's dreams together.

It was fun then...

My breasts danced to the dreams that you were dreaming about, and I forgot I was tired, so I ran around at 46: 00. "

Here, when Rushui cut the story, he turned his eyes and looked up to heaven.

Thinking of a distant past, is my heart active at that time of year, which can be described as the pinnacle of his life?

The cheeks were so red and stained that I could tell by the honesty.

A soft breeze creeps into the room, as it prompts ahead of words.

"And I became the popularity of Osaka Castle by the life of His Royal Highness Tai, who said, 'Build me a castle under heaven on Osaka'. And the LORD will know that.

I wanted the castle to be a place to fulfill His Highness's dreams...

For this reason, I thought about the territory, and I created the Temple of Heaven.

I worked hard here as well. I would like to see His Highness's delightful face.

And when the Temple of Heaven was finally completed.

Together with His Royal Highness Tai, I saw the scenery of my dreams... "

When Rushui cut the words again, he lowered his face, which was facing upwards, and turned to the sincere one.

Seeing that face, Honesty doubted his own eyes.

There...

A muscle of tears...

Everywhere I was stubborn and thought I would never show my opponent my weakness or anything like that. "His Highness's Master" is showing tears now...

What that tear means is, what is it?

Is it a tear to miss Hideyoshi Tai...

Or... is it a tear to think about the future ahead...

Rushui continued against the integrity of such a patrol.

"Construction is still going on everywhere, a vast area of land that spreads beneath the eyes that is not maintained for people to live in…

Look at that. Your Highness said...

"I want to show you," he said...

It's like, "What? 'And I said,' Here's what I said.

"Give me the view from the temple of this castle."

Honesty inquired about Rushui's words.

"Who did you want to show...?

Rushui stares at honesty.

Honesty also stared into its eyes without taking his eyes off.

At this point, Honesty understood the answer to his query. But still, he waited for Rushui's words.

That word...

A man named Rushui Kuroda means a separation between Jiayang Tokugawa and Masayoshi Honta...

"... whatever, Your Highness's son... and grandson... Hisashi...

His Highness Tai said he wanted to show those who inherited his trail how the town of Osaka, which spreads beneath him, sang and prospered under the heavens.

That was His Highness's dream... "

When Masayoshi listened to the words engraved on his chest, he only closed his eyes and gave his thoughts to the late Hideyoshi Tai.

That figure that was bright everywhere, made people happy, and wanted Tahei under heaven. Honesty didn't get much of a chance to see it, but I still remember my chest leaping for no reason when I met him face to face.

Hideyoshi dreamed that Japan, Osaka and the Toyotomi family would prosper for generations...

And for one of them, honesty broke my chest that what I was about to do now was by no means incompatible with what separated me from Rushui.

Rushui seemed to have turned his belly somewhere, but there was never hostility, and he continued to show his strength in his eyes.

"I am still chasing that dream after His Highness Tai Chi's death.

That's what I live for. It means living. "

I feel the weight in the words of Rushui.

I feel an unbroken wish.

Is it because I'm old and tearful that I feel something creeping up in my honesty chest and I'm about to cry?

And Rushui tightened with powerful words.

"That's my dream, Rushui Kuroda."

Again the two shut their mouths.

The little birds rejoice in the spring and the young samurai sweat and carry the book outside, not to mention the glowing wind that still drifts through the room.

Makoto spoke in a serene tone as usual as he turned his back on Rushui in an attempt to softly rear the room.

"... that's a lovely dream"

Rushui opens his mouth without keeping his face away from the letter.

"If that's what you really think, I need your Lord to help me too"

Honesty smiles with her back turned.

"I'm sorry. I had a dream about it..."

"... let's... then there's no choice..."

Words of content like I gave up somewhere, but the condition was pale, as if the matter had been settled for a long time.

"We hope that the next matter in Kyushu will continue."

"For the sake of Tahei Tianxia, let me honor you as the nominee of the Toyotomi family."

Upon completion of hearing the words, Honesty quietly followed the scene without making any footsteps.

- Is it the name of the Toyotomi...

and the honesty of repeating the words of Rushui in the chest. With his feet he walks slowly to the room where he is located in Fushimi Castle.

He decided to take care of his family only to promote one thing.

- Finally... when you're focused on beauty and format, you have to end it.

and…

If this advance is heard, it will be that a real test for Tokugawa Jiayang awaits ahead. Needless to say, it is nothing more than an attempt to move the heavens and the earth from Toyotomi to Tokugawa's hands. Maybe that will also come out of Tokugawa's house.

But he,

- I won't let it stand in the way of your walk...

And, determined, I was prepared to protect him from all the obstacles that come down to family well-being.

Because his dream is to make Tokugawa Jiayang's dream come true together...

Yes, Honda Masayoshi is also the man who is dreaming of "The Dream of a Military Master" again.
