◇ ◇

There were two men in the warring world who were hailed by Toyotomi Hideyoshi as "Undoubled Under Heaven".

The eastern heavenly twins are Honda Tadashi.

The western heavenly twins are Tachibana Somo.

The two were never relative in historical fact, but the emergence of the madman of the times led them to determine their female male in the form of a 'one-horse strike', as if they had remembered that history had forgotten something.

But these two. It had a "turbidity" in its mind that had no direct relation to the battle.

On the other hand, it was not needed for a new world and still stuck to the name 'strongest'. I wanted you to acknowledge your existence, and I kept uttering voiceless voices. Still, the times don't look right to me. He was getting stubborn, clinging to something. Because that clinging thing, he believed, was proof of his own existence.

And the other could not face the "death" of his beloved. He turned away from his eternal parting and lived with a word in his chest that he could not say. For by not saying it, I believed in delusions that one day I would see my beloved again.

The legend of future generations, "Undoubled Under Heaven", is also human again.

They had a grip on their hearts, and now they were throwing themselves into the slaughter.

At a time when cold rain began to fall from the skies of Kurumi America, whilst still making you feel the coming of winter, the foothills of the skies were surrounded by a steamy heat, whilst still reminiscent of midsummer, by two men.

"Ha-ha-ha... you seem to be breathing a lot, Lord Honta. Just say it's unrivaled. Can't you guys beat your age?

And, sweating on his forehead, Somo Tachibana sighed with a refreshing smile. Its left arm is engraved with a cut that the spear would have blurred, and the hand with the knife is shaking suspiciously because of it.

"Why at all... I wonder what you're going to say... what kind of pride... more than that, that wound in the Lord's arm that I took with my blow... isn't it pretty deep? Your hand with the knife seems to be trembling..."

And, while trying to bring it to the spear, Honda Tadashi strengthened with a smile, as did Zongmao. But it no longer seems spicy to be standing, both of those knees trembling.

Meetings with the knife and spear have already spanned many matches, and the fact that they both stand strangely drained by the fact that they have repeatedly attacked each other with a single blow. But what we both have in common is that we enjoy this ride from the bottom of our minds.

Hot hot air stands from their bodies in the rain that came out at some point. The soldiers of the two armies around them watched such a spectacular meeting, often stopping fighting, sipping and watching.

That is, there, the blood stinking life companionship stopped, and the pure power comparison, which could be called nobility, was only being played out by just two men.

However, it doesn't change that we are both brittle people. It seems a common hunch that its health is so far beyond its limits that the next integration will be the last.

Two eyes glow sharply like a starving beast.

When they squeezed their last strength, they set up their own weapons.

Honda Tadashi is a dragonfly with a love spear.

Somo Tachibana has two long lights on his left hand and a lightning cut on his right.

Tachibana Somo entered only a few toes in an invisible space, showing Honda Chusei's dragonfly-cutting intermission as the stirring intermission continued.

I didn't overlook that moment of loyalty.

"Shh!!

When I wonder if the roar of loyalty trembling in the air has persisted, both the spear and the loyalty arms become one thin line and stretch straight towards Zongmao.

Touch it ahead and it's the last. Even if it were thick armor, or if it were the blow that would be pierced at present, Zongmao stands sloppily pulling out of his shoulder without being slightly moving with a smile on his mouth.

And at that moment when the tip of his ear approached the present day of his chest, Zongmao's eyes opened slightly, and he hit the long light in his left hand at high speed against that spear.

- Kang!!

When I wondered if the high noise had focused on my surroundings, the two arms and dragonfly cuts of Honda Loyalty, which had been transformed into a single line, undone their appearance and jumped high.

The right belly of an empty loyal victory.

"Yeah yeah!!

Together with a loud hanging voice, Zongmao, with all his strength, steps his right foot forward a lot.

- Don't!!

And, with a tremendous sound, he wiped out the thundercut of his right hand, which was pulling near his left belly, at once, with his right foot trampled to the point where the ground snapped.

The legendary knife that once chopped up thunder now cuts through the air of Kurumi rice and arcs at the speed of sound without truly twofold the trunk of Honda loyalty ahead.

"Mmmm!!

And, a small ambitious loyal victory shook down the dragonfly slice without cracking Zongmao's head in the patterned part, trying to forcefully undo its propulsion, which was bounced off by Zongmao's long light.

Once moved, the spear will now gain gravity to accelerate its speed.

Even when he was turned around his belly, Zongmao's expression grew brighter and brighter at the blow of loyalty that prioritized a blow to his brain.

"Do it!!

And when Zongmao spoke a short call, he changed the orbit of the sword waved halfway up just a little without that velocity.

- Kang!!

When the noise was high again, Zongmao's thunder cut hit just ahead of his loyal hand with a dragonfly cut. At that moment the dragonfly slice swing was stopped again.

But...

"Guuuuuuuuuu!!

And, the loyalty that uttered a tremendous voice at the time of the beast, he can put his entire weight into the spear, not swinging the spear down as it is.

"You idiot!!

And Zongmao, who accidentally struck his tongue, flinched behind his back as he pushed out the thunder cut.

- Dosung!!

Along with the dull sound, a shaken dragonfly cut pierces the ground.

Then this time the head of loyalty was emptied.

"Eh! Ugh!!

And the sound of Tachibana, accompanied by intense shock waves that the soldiers who were watching over the two around him accidentally butted, is emitted from Somo's mouth.

Zongmao's flesh has already exceeded its limits, and its consciousness is about to wander.

Still, he squeezed his last momentum with the intention of putting everything into the next blow.

But I don't listen to a paralyzed body. Zongmao was shredded to the point where feelings alone could not be helped.

- Chiyo... give me strength...

And, unexpectedly, he prays to his beloved wife, who is still unforgettable.

Then…

Wonder and I felt my body lighten, as wings grew on Zongmao's back.

And when I put all my strength into both legs and let my body sink just for a moment, the next moment I made a huge jump toward loyalty.

"Kuraya!!!

Zongmao wields a large thundercut of his right hand over his head. A loyal victory to see how it looks.

Time is only for a moment...

Too slowly...

When Zongmao's beautiful arc-drawn leap reached its peak...

Zongmao had a strange sight in his eyes. No, rather than exactly what I was seeing, I was feeling something I miss, something dear, all over my body.

It's...

My beloved wife, Tachibana Chiyo...

Zongmao is in the middle of a spectacular exchange of lives, but he was heating his chest at the moment of reunion he had even dreamed of.

Nature and tears creep up.

- Chiyo... Welcome back...

He speaks in his heart to her like that lump of warmth. Then, from the warmth of it, I did feel a smile.

- Lord Zongmao... thank you for seeing me...

- Oh... me too...

I get a sense of purpose for short interactions where there is no other love. They faced each other in a way that stared at each other.

Then the warm lump turns into the figure of his beloved wife, whom he even dreamed of, as he looked at it.

That Rin stand-up.

Strong eyes.

Tight little lips...

Everything was his knowing, loving wife herself.

Two people staring at each other for a while.

There are no words.

I don't need words.

The two were filled with mere exchanges of that gaze.

But in reality, even at that moment, Zongmao descended towards the ground, waving the thundercut down exactly like a thunderbolt.

But even at that momentary time, it can be felt forever by Zongmao.

It was this soulful blow that allowed me to reunite with Chiyo now.

- Chiyo!! Then let's go!!

and he redirected consciousness again to the mighty opponent in front of him… Honda Loyalty.

To echo it, Chiyo similarly gazed at Zongmao, sharpening his eyes.

- Yes, Lord Zongmao! Together!

The voice of the Qian Dynasty echoes directly into Zongmao's heart.

There are so many things I want to talk to you about.

I also have a view I want to see with you.

Eat with me, laugh with me, walk with me.

Such a natural form of couple can no longer be taken.

Still, Zongmao... no, Chiyo was feeling so happy at this moment, too.

Because that's nothing more than because we were both having the same 'dream'.

It was a couple's "dreams" in this blow.

Never has and never will be the same, with 'love' in thunder cuts...

At that time...

You two are one.

Like wrapping those two up,

We saw it together then,

The cherry blossoms.

White flower blizzards strike as they respond to the intense emotions of the two...

As they cleaved the flower blizzard, they wielded a thundercut -

At that time, Zongmao's ears did hear the whispers of Chiyo.

- Goodbye...

Zongmao, who descended into the earth. He was only moving his mouth without putting it to words.

I couldn't say that word then...

Silence that lasts for a while...

so as to break its silence,

- Poop... Poop...

And something sounded like a shimmering sound.

It's...

It was the blood of Honda Loyalty...

"The blow now… it was really brilliant"

and a serene wild voice brings Somo back to reality.

He lands on the ground, on one knee, and his arm is lowered with a swing out. To its sight, the ground. The warmth I had felt until earlier is not there, and the cold rain of late autumn cools my lit body.

And there's no such thing as a beloved wife in that vision either. Instead, I found that the ground in front of me changed its color from tea to red, little by little, by the blood of loyalty.

Zongmao looked up slowly and saw the loyalty.

Loyal victory was also trying to dodge Zongmao's blow with his whole body again. But all it did was glance at the upper body, and it was the best.

Barely a loyal victory with a blow to the head, but Zongmao's blow blurred his right arm, which was in its orbit. By that blow the tendons and bones of the loyal right arm were beautifully cut off. But by the time he had dropped his arm, his blood was overflowing from his wound.

At the next moment, when the right palm of the loyalty was unconstitutionally opened without its power being passed on, the center of gravity of the dragonfly cut was applied only to the left hand, and the loyalty was unwittingly cursed.

But as Loyalty managed to refuse to fall, he stabbed the spear to the ground, so that it could be brought there, only on one knee.

Yes... Honda Loyalty is no longer a fightable body...

Besides losing, in many wars, the man, who had never suffered a single scratch, engraved two letters of "defeat" into his heart for the first time at this time.

In retrospect, "defeat" in the life of Honda Loyalty was not acceptable.

Because if he "defeated," it meant Tokugawa's "defeat".

- I don't want to lose, woohoo I don't want to lose, I don't want to lose... if you think of a deeply thankful lord...

With that one heart, I've been tough on myself and on my soldiers.

It's just that time flies is ruthless.

How long has that Tokugawa Jiayang been out of his reach? Even if Honda Loyalty loses, Tokugawa's house won't even tilt.

And the new world needed new young talent.

Tokugawa doesn't need the bravery of Honda Chusei...

He also understood the matter with a deep breath. Still, he hated "defeat". I was clinging to the 'strongest' in the Tokugawa family. Because such a figure of himself was his' dream 'itself.

But...

The life of the flowers is boring.

The flowers of Honda Loyalty's "Dream" blossomed in full bloom, gleaming with "Undoubled Heaven", have scattered their petals slightly by the shifting season of time.

Who can imagine how indelible this sight of 'dreams' gradually being taken away was?

He was distressed. Roared.

Still, 'Dream' scatters from his source, little by little, leaving its bright colour behind.

In there.

A blow with the love of Tachibana Somo and Tachibana Chiyo became a breeze at the end of spring, blowing toward Honda's "dream".

With Tachibana's "Love," Hondo's "Dream" rocks -

That flower blizzard that Zongmao saw earlier,

Honda Loyalty's "Dream" Petal -

It's the snowstorm at the end of "Dream" and "Love" -

Thus Honda Tadashi was "defeated"...

But I don't know...

Still its heart is calm.

Defeat was not humiliation. What he has stuck with in his solidity was never in the form of a 'dream'.

"That is the loss of the do. This neck... take it"

Without falling, Loyalty told Zongmao yes.

Somo standing up slowly...

At that time, Loyalty closed her eyes quietly.

"I don't want to lose," "I don't want to die," that thought seems to have disappeared to the other side already. In historical fact, he chanted in the sentence of resignation, "I don't want to die. I don't want to die..." But there are no more such untrained. That was because he was free from what he was clinging to.

But...

The neck of loyalty was never dropped.

Instead, a tight string was wrapped around the top of his right arm and a cloth was placed on the area where it was slashed.

"This way the bleeding stops."

Tachibana Somo said loyally in a gentle voice. Zhongsheng opened his eyes at that moment and looked at Somo.

Those eyes were full of charity...

Zongmao also felt "defeated" when a thoughtful blow was sent along with his beloved wife.

It was, for Somo Tachibana, a moment of farewell to his clinging 'wife'.

But that didn't mean that the 'love' wouldn't go back.

Even now that the "love" of the Xuan Dynasty gave an eternal farewell to her, it remains behind Zongmao's heart, a small warmth.

The trick… defeat was not the end of love.

It's the beginning of a new form of love.

The single hit of Tachibana Somo and Honda Tadashi became a "defeat" for both.

They have both been hailed as "unmatched in heaven" and have lived with something that is not allowed to be "defeated".

And together they came this far believing that "defeat" meant the end of their lives.

But "defeat" wasn't the end for them.

Yes, "defeat" was the beginning for them.

At the next moment, each soldier left the scene trying to hold them wounded. The main army then retreated toward Hideyoshi Tokugawa's army, leaving behind the troops of Yasushi Sakahara and Chang Ohei, who had been fighting together.

The Honda Army walks away defenselessly with its back pointed at the Tachibana Army. In the meantime, however, the Tachibana Army says it never attacked that back of the main multiarmy.

………

……

Thus, the single hit that they both "defeated" became a legend.

And this onslaught will be told to future generations by the mouths of those who were witnessing it.

Of course, the storytellers talked and wrote about their slaughter to varying degrees, but with tails on. Thus, all its contents were municipal, but only its magnificence was equally felt by whoever heard it.

In the meantime, strangely, there was one thing that everyone had in common.

It's...

- Flower blizzard... I did see an out-of-season flower blizzard with these eyes...

This was the only thing that told them purely as they saw it, without decorating it.
