"Yichai! Hey, Yichai!
And my unknown name is called in my ear.
With that voice, I, Asako Yagi, realized that my long journey had come to an end.
Slowly opening his eyes, he looks like a skinny uncle with a mustache in front of him.
Of course, my stranger...
And the same thing about myself.
Apparently the name "tea" but I have no idea what else.
If there's one more thing I know, I look a lot younger.
Of course, even I was a high school girl in my old days, and it's weird to say it myself, but I'm young.
But now I'm younger than that… I'd rather say I'm young.
Physically... about four years in elementary school... I mean, maybe ten...
But it doesn't even matter to me about myself!
Because… there's only one thing I need to do!
And to achieve that, we decided to take the shortest route!
"Ta-chan... no, I want to meet someone called Hideyoshi Toyotomi!!
And I asked my bearded uncle in front of me out loud.
But...
"Is...?
And that uncle's face hardened to much surprise, and you don't even have words...
Apparently, my "I want to see Hideyoshi Toyotomi" was too sudden a favor...
I don't know why that is.
By the way, I, quite unlike you, haven't been good at Japanese history at all since middle school, and what a "Toyotomi Hideyoshi" person, I think, has heard the name somewhere, but I have no idea who it actually is.
Even the same Toyotomi, Toyotomi Hideyoshi would know...
That said, I only know about Hideyoshi, the person who took Heaven after the trail of a man named Nobunaga Oda...
As I roamed that way, my bearded uncle in front of me said to me with a trembling voice.
"Oh Yi Cha... oh I knew it was weird this morning...
Just lay back...
Because my father is going to go to public service. "
And, my uncle left the room with a hardened look, letting me sleep in the futon half forcefully, full of energy.
"That uncle... he said 'Father' about himself.
Apparently you're my dad in this day and age. "
And me talking to myself as I twirl into the futon.
"Ha... Something seems to be going on endlessly..."
And, Ta-chan... no, Hideyoshi Toyotomi, I'm suddenly getting weighed down when I think about how long it's going to take me to meet someone I rely on.
- Guru...
At the same time as I get heavy, I get hungry.
"I'm hungry... you're not saying that the way you used to be..."
I decided to get out of this room with my futon for a moment, pioneering my appetite the same as it was in my previous days.
………
……
Well...
When I get out of the futon and out of the room, I'm surprised the hallway is surprisingly long.
Looks like a pretty big mansion.
That may mean that I am what you call a "lady".
Thinking about it makes my face burn by accident.
I'm sure you'll eat something delicious, and nice kimonos and hair decorations...
"How many rooms, by the way?
When I count Hii, Fu, Mii... apparently there are about five rooms.
I didn't check inside either, but I wonder if anyone who hits my mom is in some room.
While I'm thinking about it, my stomach grunts again.
"For starters, food!
I relied on my "nose" for many years and went all the way through the mansion.
And we finally found the kitchen!
He seems to be a servant of the mansion there, and his young sister is working hard at something.
"What are you doing?
And, when I asked, the sister,
"Wow! Master Yichai!? Don't surprise me!
And I jumped up with my face blue.
The little puffy sister has a good look on her face.
This sister is going to count on you!
My baseless intuition ran through my head freaking out!
And soon I decided to try and see if that intuition was right.
"Sister! Give me something to eat!
My sister is circling her eyes for such a favor of mine. Apparently my favor again was without a thump...
The habit of messing with your hair naturally when you get anxious like that doesn't change when you come over.
But...
"Hehehe, Yichai-sama was so hungry that you got here."
What a nostalgic smile your sister is pointing at me!
Again, my intuition was right!
As proof of that, your sister...
One moment, please.
When I said, when I stuck my hand in the large gauze, I took the large gauze.
"It is found in the marinade of Tenno-ji (Tenno-Ujikabura)"
With that said, your sister puts it on the slab and cuts it with a knife with a ton.
In the meantime I asked your sister what she cared about.
"Sister, what's your name?
When your sister's hand stops at the inquiry, she looks back at me.
I knew it... it's too unnatural to suddenly ask for a name...
But I guess people everywhere are good sisters.
With a strange look on his face,
"Is there something wrong with Yichai today? Plum. My name is Plum. Yesterday it was called 'Plum! Plum!' and didn't you speak up well"
And he taught me politely.
If this happens anymore, I'll have to ask this plum to open it up and help me!
Yes, I was determined to speak honestly, nagging.
"Sorry... when I woke up this morning, I didn't remember anything..."
"Well! That's tough! I need to talk to my husband and wife!!
"Plum! Dad... no, would you shut up about my father and mother!? I don't want to worry about anything!
and when I plead in a strong tone, Mr. Plum dropped his shoulder, "Huh,"
"Okay… can you tell me what Yichai knows now? If you don't mind with plums, I can help."
And he said so with a bitter laugh.
The moment I hear the words, I get a natural smile.
"Plum! Thanks!"
When I thanked him out loud, I accidentally hugged Mr. Plum.
"Hey! Master Yichai!! If you do that, Yichai-sama's kimono will get dirty!
and plums in great panic.
But I was glad that I had a strong ally who would listen to me, not knowing my right or my left, and I couldn't get away from Mr. Plum's big hips for a while.
Just...
Still won't be able to tell Plum everything...
That I come from a future far ahead of me now.
Besides, the purpose of coming to this world is to meet Hideyoshi Toyotomi.
further return to the original world, along with the childhood taming that is in it.
Because you would never believe me if I told you that...
………
……
"This rash is delicious!!
I was unexpectedly surprised out loud.
In my former days, breakfast and lunch were bread, and dinner focused on western food.
I only ate pickles when I went to the spa inn on a family vacation, so I never thought the pickles would taste so good.
"Hehe, Tennoji Temple is a specialty around here! It's in one of our pride dishes!
Plum is sniffing her nose as if she had made that specialty.
But I fell in love with this pickle so much that I didn't care about that.
against me with such a mellow face to flaunt the pickles, Plum said,
"By the way, this is a continuation of our conversation...
I really want to meet Hideyoshi Toyotomi. "
And, because I've been asking, I nod alot, just saying, "Yeah."
Then Plum sighed loudly again, "Huh," and frowned.
By this time, by the way, Plum had taught me a lot about me and my family.
Apparently, my dad is named Watanabe Wuwei. I hear you work in Osaka Castle on how to account, but I think Plum only knows what the job is.
And my mom, by the name of Yarn, tends to be sick and she still seems to be lying on the floor.
They say this mansion is near Daddy's workplace Osaka Castle, but to get into that Osaka Castle, there's a big castle gate, and they'll never let me through, except for the people and customers who work.
My name is Yichai. She's the only daughter of Mom and Dad, eleven years old. I am not being put up for public service anywhere, especially now, and it seems like I am spending some time helping this house.
And Mr. Plum, he's still the servant of this mansion. He didn't tell me how old he was... but he broke up with his husband early and said my mom was speaking up and serving here.
I don't have any kids, but on behalf of my sick mom, it's like she's also my caregiver.
I'm so glad this plum guy is a good guy.
Well... to my question just now, I've been thinking about Plum for a while.
I kept my cheeks in my mouth one after the other, hoping for the answer.
But...
"I can't talk to you about that. Dear Tea Yi,"
Surprised by the words, I stuck a flattery in my throat.
"Gohohohoho!!
"Hey! Master Yichai! Are you ok!?
Mr. Plum rubbed my back and let me drink the water from the nearby jar.
When I breathe, I stare at Mr. Plum with my begging eyes again.
"How can I not see you?
Plum, who looked me in the eye, seems obviously upset.
When you turn your face red and look away from me,
"I can't really see you!
And I answered to tell myself.
Like chasing that deviant eye, I close my face to Mr. Plum.
"What can you really do?
"I can't see you!
"Really, really, really?
"I can't see you!!
Apparently I can't "see you" this far, so I guess it's really hard to see you...
But she said to me, "I'll let you see him," which is why she had to have some means.
But... what can I do...
Plum told me to tell her that she was having trouble that way and messing with the tip of her hair with her right hand.
"Dear Tea Yi, You know what Toyotomi Hideyoshi is like in the first place, don't you?
"Hmm? I feel like I've heard the name before, but I have no idea."
"Yea!!? What the hell!?
Plum is stunned. Too, raise your hands and fly back.
I swelled my cheeks to that appearance.
"Hmm! I'm sorry you didn't know anything!
"Dear Tea Yi, I just don't know about you two, Hideyoshi Toyotomi and Jiayang Tokugawa..."
"Ah! I've heard the name Tokugawa Jiayang! You're the one who built the Edo Shogun!
"Edo Shogun? I've never heard of you. It's your name...
But it does seem that last year, Tokugawa-sama was entrusted by General Tsukiya to create a world around Edo.
But you don't know Hideyoshi Toyotomi, even though Yichi knows about it. "
"Yeah... haha... but maybe I remember if it was about what happened last year..."
I laughed and deceived, but Mr. Plum slipped his neck more and more suspiciously.
And...
Next moment…
He said something shocking to me...
"Because it was also last year that Toyotomi Hideyoshi married Chihime...
You don't remember that, do you?
KEY... MARRIAGE...!?
Yikes... you...!?
My thoughts and reason are shattered by so many shocks.
And from behind, when some mundane, boiling lava-like burning emotion swells my heart like a balloon...
It exploded all at once.
"Ta is married!!! That's impossible!!!
When I shouted out loud, I jumped out the front door on the side of the kitchen and left a dash.
Right in front of it, you can see the magnificent castle.
That must be Osaka Castle!!
I ran straight out to that castle!
Then, from behind me, Plum's hurried voice stuck.
"Hey! Master Yichai!! Where are you going!!?
"You've decided!! Where you are... Osaka Castle!!
"Yep, yep!!! Please wait!! Oh, Ichima. Ah!
I will never allow you to be married!
I'm going to ask you what it means!!
At that heart, all I could see was Osaka Castle in my eyes.
