"What the hell is wrong with you today!? Echa!"

And my dad in this day and age is staring at me with a troubled, angry, complicated look.

I was nagging, sitting in front of my dad like that.

This is me... the mansion where Yichai lives.

Hideyoshi Toyotomi... Plum told me that he was married and exploded my emotions. I went to Osaka Castle without thinking about it later, but of course, at the castle gate in front of him, the men at the gatekeeper stopped me.

Still, he said, "Let me see Hideyoshi Toyotomi!" I was scratching my feet with my hands and feet slammed out loud, and my dad heard the noise, and he came and put me back in the mansion while I could hold him...

Now I think I feel sorry for myself for its powerlessness...

This is how I was deeply reflecting as I listened to my dad's sermon.

"Why do you want to see Hideyoshi Toyotomi so badly? Answer me, Yichai."

And my dad will look at me with his eyes that won't let him say yes or no.

But... no way I could have said "to take you home to your original times," even if your mouth was torn.

I glimpsed Plum's face holding back in the corner of the room, as I asked for help.

But Plum, the outline of the request, is also shaking his neck beside him, not saying, "Give up and talk."

Trouble... so troublesome...

I'm not good at chatting with peppers, like you.

I mean, deluding is terrible.

Now this is the modern trial, and if there was one that would be a "right to remain silent," we would have adopted it immediately.

But it is also clear from the intimidation that emanates from the daddy in front of you that that is unacceptable.

What shall we do...

I was in my usual habit, teasing the tip of my hair with my right hand, thinking desperately.

But...

"Answer me quickly. Echa."

And when my dad hurried, he came a lot closer to me.

Ugh... no more!!

It was then that I tried to tell the truth with all my heart.

"Oh? You're home early today, aren't you?"

and a fine clear voice echoed in that room.

I immediately turn to the owner of the voice.

There stood one beautiful woman smiling.

Glossy, beautiful dark hair, white skin so clear to it, a thin body so thin that it could break if touched, can never be said to be healthy, but even that seems to add color to her beauty.

And above all, I accidentally fell in love with the kind eyes that stared at me.

"Dear Yarn! Don't be moved, isn't the doctor telling you...!?

And, Plum panicked and supported her back to accompany the woman.

"I feel good today for some reason. I wonder if I heard Yichai's cheerful voice."

Dear Yarn... apparently this beautiful woman is my mom.

If I were in this day and age, would I grow up to be such a beautiful woman...

"Yarn! What are you doing here? You're sick, so stay asleep."

My dad had a tough tone, and I cautioned my mom, but she didn't mind that, she told my dad.

"Isn't Echa shrinking? What the hell happened?

"Sorry... I missed Hideyoshi Toyotomi... I was about to enter Osaka Castle"

and I honestly answered my mom with a squeezing voice.

Then Mom sits in front of me and stares at me.

Something seems to be peeking deep into my mind, and I feel a strange tickle.

And after a while, my mom said in a friendly tone to my dad.

"You're still on duty, aren't you? I'll take care of this place and you can go back to the castle."

"But..."

Dad stares at his mom with a troubled look on his face.

But when I saw those eyes that I wouldn't give way to as my mom's stubbornness, my dad sighed loudly, "Huh.

"Ichiya. You mustn't be so unscrupulous again."

And he took good care of me and left the room behind.

It's been a long time since I left...

and relieved also during the bundle.

Oh, my God. Now my mom's asking the same question as my dad just now.

"Echa. Why do you want to see Hideyoshi Toyotomi so badly?

"It's..."

I'm stuck with words again.

And again, equally unconsciously, he started messing with the tip of his hair with his right hand.

But...

Mommy said to me in a gentle, groaning voice when she could softly put her thin hand on my shoulder.

"If you don't want to, you don't have to. Echa."

The moment I heard that word...

Tears poured out of my eyes.

I have no idea why I'm crying myself.

Still, something stuck up made it sound like a puffy cut, and the tears couldn't contain it.

"Oh... sorry..."

I was so full of apologies to leak, and then I couldn't speak, as my voice was stuck in tears.

My mom caresses my back gently like that.

Those hands are warm, and I can't cut anywhere...

My tears became more and more overflowing.

………

……

I've been crying for quite some time, but all that time my mom kept stroking my back, gently saying, "It's okay, it's okay."

And at the same time as I stopped crying, I told him that my memory was vague and that I wanted to meet someone named Hideyoshi Toyotomi anyway.

"Dear Toyotomi Hideyoshi... No matter how much I wish for tea, it will be difficult for me to fulfill it right away..."

And my mom also answered me with a troubled look on her face.

I listen to my mom as she cheeks on the tea treat Dafu brought to me by Plum.

And my mom explained how it was difficult for me to meet someone named Hideyoshi Toyotomi.

"Hideyoshi Toyotomi is one of the greatest of Osaka Castle..."

"A great man?

"Yes, in the Takeshi family, he is great alongside the Tokugawa family."

I was surprised by Mom's words.

"Heh! It's amazing that you're as great as that Tokugawa Jiayang!!

Look at me like that, my mom is smiling gently.

And went on.

"So I'm right around the corner, but I'm a very far away person."

"But, Dad... my father works at that Osaka Castle, right?

If so, don't you see him in the mouthpiece of my father?

"Hehe, Yichai says something quite clever"

"It doesn't mean you're smart..."

"No, it's fine. I think squeezing wisdom is a good thing.

But unfortunately, that would be difficult, too.

Because Yichai's father has a low status among the accounts.

It is difficult to meet Hideyoshi Toyotomi, who brings all of Osaka Castle together, unless he is the Tsuda Zongfan of the General Service of Accounts, who manages the gold and silver of Osaka Castle. "

When I sighed deeply at my mom's words, I spoke a little bit, but I asked what I cared about.

"What is the method of accounting in the first place?

To my inquiry, my mom...

"It's a great pleasure for my mother to be interested in your father's work."

And when I said gladly, he answered the question.

Apparently, the method of accounting is the work of calculating the income and expenditure in the territorial management of Osaka Castle and the Toyotomi family and keeping them on the books that serve as tellers.

I was quite impressed with my dad for doing that job, which I'm not very good at numbers, but I wouldn't work for.

"My father is an amazing man!

My mom, who was delightfully narrowing her eyes to my condition, slapped her bread and hands as if she remembered something.

"That's right! Yichai may also be able to do so if he is enough to see Hideyoshi Toyotomi at first sight!

Holy shit!!

I let my eyes shine the moment I heard the words and urged my mom to go ahead.

"Mom... wrong! Mother! What does that mean!?

And...

My mom offered me one suggestion.

That will be the beginning of my "Operation Tacha Retrieval"... and the beginning of Operation Toyotomi Hideyoshi Mitsumi...

"It's a Toyota Festival!!

"Are you kidding me? What is it? What's that?"

My mom's words are playing happily.

For some reason I can't help but wonder because my mind is going to play it so that I can keep up with it.

"Toyotomi Hideyoshi is hosting the Seven Tabernacles of the Dead Royal Highness, but then there will be a festival in the city of Kyo.

Besides, some of you are supposed to be Hideyoshi, so if you join the festival... "

"I may see you!!! So!! Mother!!"

I feel the light has plugged in all at once into the dark future I've been in!

Yeah! Absolutely!!

My future is bright!!

I was so sure at this time...

I didn't even know that "Toyota Festival" was going to make my heart suffer even more...
