Celebrating 11 years (1606) March 2 -

After declaring the completion of the school, I, Hideyoshi Toyotomi, entered a mansion inside the school.

Visiting the school was the "superficial" purpose, so to speak, of sending the exotic researchers brought by Akashi All Teng to the school to proclaim the completion of the school.

Another purpose ahead…

In other words, to serve as a "back" purpose, he was visiting this mansion, which was built securely in the deepest part of the large campus.

"I've just finished explaining the school to the researchers."

Reporting as such, when Souyoshi Ishida came into the room, he sat back on his vacant seat.

In fact, the mansion in this quiet place is the mansion of the dean of the school, used by Souyoshi Ishida.

The samurai, the townspeople, Toyotomi and Tokugawa are in this school with free access, and only this mansion will sometimes show a quiet position in the deep one, but there are no people around them at all.

That should be it too.

The mansion here and its surroundings are basically forbidden to enter without the permission of the dean.

Because the discoveries and inventions of each researcher are aggregated into this mansion, and the mansion is responsible for the role of the so-called patent issuing body, which proves that the results are unique to the researcher.

In other words, confidentiality, which can be considered the lives of researchers, is kept strictly in a locked vault, making it difficult for even Tenko to access it easily.

Of course, even Tokugawa people cannot even approach the hedgerows surrounding the mansion without prior permission, because they also get ink from Tokugawa Jiayang through Tokugawa's representative Shigemitsu Itakura.

It should be noted that the ceiling of this mansion is a blow-out and it is almost impossible to break in from the ceiling. On top of that, in the vicinity of the mansion, because of the benign territorial foot and the fog concealer's sneakers hitting the guard, unless there is much more to it, no intermediary can dive in.

That is, it was a place where meetings in the Chamber were possible.

Now in that room, bookcases, desks and chairs are all western objects. All the paperwork is neatly placed so as to represent the character of a neat Zong Ying, a space so clean that exactly one has not fallen.

In front of the desk where he normally performs his duties, there is a long desk and chair arranged so that about ten people can sit, allowing a small number of people to meet.

I'm sitting in one of those chairs, and my other sloppy face meets with me.

When I saw Soo Yong sitting on the chair,

"Um, thank you for your hard work. Now we're all here."

And I looked over at everyone on this occasion.

What we're gathering here are the faces I'm asking for.

Toyotomi's "Shield," Yukimura Maida.

Toyotomi's "Sword," Princess Kofi.

Toyotomi's "Great Armor," Xuanton Osaki.

Toyotomi Seven Stars, Soyo Ishida.

Toyotomi Seven Stars, Akashi All Deng.

Toyotomi Seven Stars, Mr. Horiuchi.

Toyotomi Natsung, Yoshiji Otani.

Toyotomi Seven Stars, Gui Guangbian.

Nine of the above eight people, including me, are sitting in a chair. Another of Toyotomi's seven stars, Kiyoshi Kato, was scheduled to sit in the empty chair, but he had been driven out to Edo for the popularization of the Edo Castle addition by decree of General Tokugawa Hideo, and unfortunately he was unable to attend the occasion.

"Hey Lord Hideyoshi. Wataru is busy looking like this.

Moreover, my stomach is only getting frizzy.

I want to get out of here as soon as I can, so if you need anything, let's get started. "

and Princess Kofi put her arms together and looked bitter.

By the way, it doesn't mean she has an errand to say this after this, but it seems likely that when she leaves Osaka Castle, she is just frustrated with a scattered resentful word from the starry temple.

But even for me, I'm not going to have a relaxing wellside meeting here.

When I nodded loudly at Princess Kofi, I decided on my stomach and told her what the purpose was behind it.

"All of you, gather together in a busy time.

We gathered them together for a 'bureaucratic meeting', nothing else. "

The air tightened on my words.

"A bureaucratic meeting? What are you talking about? I haven't heard of you."

This matter will be a question felt by everyone here, not just her.

I answered that question.

"Lord Kofi, I'm sorry. No one has been told to hold a meeting here."

"Why...? If it's a rating, why don't we do it at Osaka Castle?

You're not manly to do this shit in such a disgusting place.

I don't recall being a general in the curtain of Lord Hideyoshi. "

"That's because you can't do it in Osaka Castle.

And here and now, I entrust the LORD to the tabernacle of the ministers of abundance.

Precisely in addition to you, there are nine people, including Lord Kiyoshi Kato, who is popularizing Edo Castle. "

"Well, if the matter of the Tabernacle is commanded by the Lord, Lord Hideyoshi, there is no other way than to undertake it.

But why can't we have a meeting at Osaka Castle?

Princess Kofi's eyes glow sharply when asked so.

I answered with all my strength in my eyes, too.

"Because Osaka Castle already has multiple interlocutors and smugglers"

Was that unexpected?

Everyone opened their eyes wide as my voice echoed.

But only Princess Kofi, as she suspected me, narrowed her eyes and asked in a low voice.

"Who hired you to be a snitch?

"Tokugawa Jiayang"

Now they didn't just open their eyes, they were all stunned, they bothered.

But only Princess Kofi was calm.

"How do you know there's a smuggler?

I can put more effort into my eyes.

"Look me in the eye and you'll see."

"Hmm... eyes... hey..."

And, Princess Kofi laughed niggardly, she kept asking.

"So you've looked into the eyes and judged that there are no smugglers among those here!?

Ha ha! Oh, that's a masterpiece!

So I answered with dismay to Princess Kofi, laughing away.

"No matter how much Lord Kofi laughs, I know!

That moment of my words...

Princess Kofi's expression turned into something tougher than ever.

"Enough... keep the joke that far...

Who is your Lord?

Just the right opportunity.

Let me hear it... "

Now my expression changes with gallery.

The face of Toyotomi Seven Stars and Yukimura Maida are things I know about my secrets, and they are just as sweaty on their foreheads as I am.

Princess Kofi sighed at the look.

"Oh... do you think the lords know... at all...

Whatever they say anymore, I'm not surprised, and I'll just leave it here.

Come on, reveal it!

Again when I sighed loudly at Princess Kofi's intimidation, "Ha..." I put my strength in my belly again.

The only two people who don't know my secrets on this occasion are these Kofi princesses and Genoto Osaki.

And in order to ask for these two as "tabernacles" in the future, I thought to myself that keeping them a secret was likely to cause a lot of difficulties.

I decided to be ready and tell the truth about myself.

………

……

"I see... I was uncomfortable in the street."

And when Princess Kofi found out my secret, she pulled out her shoulder strength looking tired somewhere and brought it to the chair.

Xuanton Osaki, on the other hand, had a surprised look as he was listening, but when my confession was over, he was small and depressed.

"... So, what do you say?

And when I asked, Princess Kofi, who was looking at the ceiling, turned a blind eye to me.

"I don't care what they say... I guess all I can say is that I was surprised and that I couldn't believe it.

Besides, it's like I've been fooled before. I couldn't help but feel sorry for myself for being deceived into continuing. "

"I think that's true. It's obvious... so can you still trust me?"

When I said that, I dropped my shoulder.

Even though I had some anticipation, this moment when I still can't turn my credit eyes from people is heartfelt.

And Princess Kofi slowly rose her seat.

The look is as heavy as I can think of somewhere.

All I had to do was look at the way it was, and I couldn't say anything.

She's probably going to get out of here, disappointed that I was hiding a secret, and that the Toyotomi bastard I should be protecting, whose contents are a man I don't know.

Maybe he's going back to the temple of Kamakura, where he was, without going back to Osaka Castle like this...

My chest remembers the pain of being stabbed with a sharp blade that the way I broke up with her, who always faced me seriously and gave me strict guidance for my future, takes on this form.

Princess Kofi takes her seat and walks through the room once and for all.

I couldn't even look at it, and I was sneering downstairs, trembling.

Soon she will leave this room...

Then we won't see each other again...

Even in tough times, the occasional smile made me look like that, pointing my thing at my real son. When I remembered it was shining like that, my eyes were overflowing with tears.

- Don't go... please...

I don't deserve the words that come to my mind.

I had nothing better to do than shut up and drop off her decision.

But...

She turned her foot toward me on the other side of it, not toward the door of the room.

And when you come behind me...

Fluffy...

And I was wrapped in a soft sensation and a sweet and sour smell.

"What...?

I blushed and opened my eyes wide, not knowing what had happened.

It's...

Princess Kofi embraced me from her back.

"Lord Hideyoshi is protected by Wataru. That's what I swore to my heart when I was summoned back to Osaka Castle.

I am not going to change that now.

So don't worry. Always on your side. I'm not going anywhere.

And from now on, believe me about the fright.

Let Wawa embrace the whole of Lord Hideyoshi.

Therefore, from now on, don't hold secrets or anything, but tell me the truth. "

Yes, Princess Kofi whispered in her ear, in a gentle voice.

I can't help but shake my neck vertically in a heartbeat that sounds like a rip.

Then she walked away from me and returned to her seat.

Saw the whole end of that action, which all of Komura and others could call her bold invincibility, and it looks like her open mouth can't be blocked.

Seeing them like that, Princess Kofi said with a bitter look on her face again.

"Told you I was busy. All right, let's get started."

When I finally got back to that word,

"Oh yeah! So, suppose we start fast! First..."

And it was then that I tried to progress in haste.

"Please wait!!!

and a loud voice sounded all over the room.

Everyone, including me, shook up too loudly and turned their gaze to the owner of the voice.

That voice was uttered by...

It was Xuanton Osaki.

Having taken everyone's gaze in one hand, he has, like me earlier, a determined look on his face about something.

At this point, I knew what he was up to.

And he asked him to make up his mind.

"Palace of Gentou. You look like you've come up with something, but if you have something to say, talk to me here and now."

Maybe he knew I was aware of the secrets he had.

When he looked at me and nodded, he opened his heavy mouth.

"There's a big secret to it."

So cut out the basement. Everyone is staring at the state of it with a hard spit.

And when he took a big, deep breath, he told the secret.

"The name of it is Genji Osaki... but it is the name of" Temporary "... the real name is..."

I looked over at everyone's face here.

Everyone is staring at the basement and breathing.

But only two people, Yukimura Maida and Souyoshi Ishida, have a serene look as usual.

Perhaps these two have already noticed his secret...

And at last, Xuanzhen revealed his secrets in a low voice, blurring and crushing.

"The real name is Shiro Takeda..."

Princess Kofi and the others were more surprised than when she heard my secret, making her big eyes bigger.

"Ba... silly... I didn't know you were alive..."

And, by accident, Mr. Horiuchi leaked his startling words.

And when Yoshiji Otani, who was sitting next to Mr. Good, stood up unexpectedly,

"The proof...? Is there any proof that Lord Gendo is Lord Katsushi Takeda?

And, still incredible and so on, he asked Genji.

"Is it in the certificate… it…"

And, Xuanzhen is confused as she glances down.

There I opened my mouth from the side with a sharp voice.

"On that matter, I don't need it!

Now everyone's gazing at me.

And I said it to everyone on the spot.

"I'm all like, 'Actually, it's Nobunaga Oda,' but I'm not going to change that treatment!

All who have called here are those whom I trust wholeheartedly.

That's the same thing even for Lord Genji.

I know how thoughtful my wife is and how sober she is.

And I also know that until now I have been focused on running the school, and that I have been hiding and doing all kinds of things to the poor in Kyo.

I watch People. That's not a name, a status, a patterning, etc.

And those who deserve to be revealed, in other words, those who are part of my body, are here!

At last, it is now useless, such as whether or not Lord Xuanton is named Takeda Seiyuki!

When Yoshiji opened his eyes to the words, he was convinced

"imitate too much... Master Hideyoshi, and Lord Gendou, I'm sorry"

and sat down with his head down.

In anticipation of that, I turn my gaze toward Genji.

From the eyes of its basement seemed to float two things: surprise and gratitude.

"Is that okay? Genji Palace."

I try to be gentle and ask.

Then the basement,

"Thank you. I'm happy. Thank you very much."

And he bowed his head deeply.

………

……

Outside the mansion is a springtime platter. In the calm air, the little birds chirp peacefully.

But the mansion was surrounded by heat as if it were summer.

Still, the fact that me and Kurono Osaki revealed their secrets made me feel all lumpy and something sunny.

And I finally decided to tell the truth.

Stand up on the spot and find everyone.

They all seem to be waiting for my next word.

More than ever, I told you with my eyes and belly, with my soul in my words.

"Beginning today, the politics of the Toyotomi family shall be the dual politics here in the university and Osaka Castle"

"Dual politics… what exactly is going on?"

Souyoshi Ishida asked me in a sober tone to represent everyone.

And I started talking about that sincerity all at once.

"The reputation at Osaka Castle is to discuss and decide on the politics of the so-called rich ministers, such as diplomacy with the Great Names and the Morning Court, personnel in the castle, budget allocation, repair of the temple Buddha's Palace, annual tribute in the territory and the charity of the people"

"So what do we decide here in college? If you ask me what's going on, I don't think I have anything else to decide..."

Yes, Soo-yong leaked it, but he seems to have noticed something already.

Shizukuishi Ishida Souyoshi... and I was so glad he was on my side that I made him, I was afraid of that wisdom eye.

And...

I decided to start talking about what I would discuss at this college.

"There are two big ones"

"What are those two...?

"One, military!

Everyone's eyes shine sharply like samurai's in those words.

But only Zong Yong had a nigga and a grin.

Perhaps he realizes...

The real purpose is to be told from my mouth…

And the fact that it's his "memorial" in other words...

As for that other purpose, I definitely wanted to avoid it if I could avoid it now.

But now that we have scattered the universal truth that "history will not change," we cannot keep any more lids on this matter.

And in Osaka Castle, where there are already smugglers, we will never be able to discuss it.

Yes...

That's the purpose…

"Tokugawa countermeasure… more importantly, it is the attack of Tokugawa Jiayang!

It was.
