Celebration 11 (1606) March 22 -

Said it was almost noon, but the sky was covered in thick clouds and it was still raining.

In the meantime, in the large rooms of the Jiui Mansion, the crying Princess Thousand slept well. On her side, she had a daughter initially in Takanagi, but now Aoyagi, Sir Ozo's niece.

"Not at all... because I take care of people and go somewhere just myself"

And Aoyagi has already pointed his little mouth at the thought of his inner daughter, who has gone somewhere from this room.

And it was then some time later.

Suddenly a thousand princesses began to suffer by distorting their faces.

Aoyagi hurries to speak to Chihime about the condition.

"Thousand princesses! Are you ok!?

… and it was then.

Thousand princesses said with a distorted face, looking bitter.

"Yes... don't go... leave a thousand... alone..."

When I hear that, Aoyagi grabs Chihime's shoulder gently.

"It's okay! Master Chihime! I am at your side!

But without waking up to such a call of Aoyagi, Chihime finally screamed in tears.

"Don't go back to the original world! Please excel!"

………

……

Just around that time, Chihime was making a painful bedtime speech. In the deepest room of this mansion, I, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, began facades suddenly appeared in front of me with a stunned color on my face.

"My lord...? My lord!

In that call of Princess Kofi, the woman who appeared from within the walls of this room raised her voice with her hands protruding forward.

"Who is it?

I'm sorry... I'm so blind as to be frightened... "

Princess Kofi put her hands gently together in those hands,

"It's worth it. His Royal Highness Tai is in his room, Kofi Narita. Lord Utah."

and named him in a gentle tone.

Then when we sat on the spot in panic,

"Also, I'm sorry! Master Kofi!

You behave so disrespectfully, even though you can't see your face... "

And I apologized desperately. But Princess Kofi,

"Keep your face up, my lord.

But what happened? You mean you lived like a lurker in a place like...?

and asked, supporting her back.

"No... it's..."

Ugh, the words are cloudy and annoying. It was clear from that appearance that there was some circumstance, but I am hesitant to mention it for some reason.

And as in tune with her like that, the atmosphere in the room was clearly giddy.

In particular, it is noticeable that the two main Inui successors and the lead elder Shousheng Kitamata turn sideways at first sight.

Naotaka Iui, his direct brother, asked him directly with a harsh look on his face.

"Brother! What's going on here?

Who is this person?

Apparently Naoki-san knows nothing about the identity of this woman. To a stuffed directness, perhaps you know some circumstance, the directness blues your face and doesn't quite try to open your mouth.

Tension runs into the room.

Hideyoshi Toyotomi,

- Well, I can't tell you...

And, being drunk by the atmosphere on the spot, he was sipping solidly and staring at the condition.

Because this woman named "Uchi" is the wife of Kakashida Sansei (now Souyoshi Ishida). It is no exaggeration to say that Sansei Ishida is an enemy of the Tokugawa family, and if the Mitsune wife was hidden in the Jiui family, which can be said to be the core of the Tokugawa family minister, the whole house could be a disturbance involving the Tokugawa family as a whole.

- But... how could you have secretly hidden our lord until you took such a risk...

Naturally this question comes to mind.

But...

Seems like I have a troubling personality, too.

It's...

If you look at someone in distress in front of you, you can't leave them alone.

That was exactly who he was now, Inui.

- Not at all... don't be stunned by yourself...

And when I sighed loudly, I said, with a loud voice that sounded all over the room.

"This is! Was he the wife of Souyoshi Ishida?

Rude talk to the Lord, but I thought you were dead in the Great War ahead!

"What!? The wife of Lord Ishida!

Naoki-san's complexion changes slightly red to my words.

It was a mixture of surprise for someone named us and anger for hiding such an important thing from me until now.

He also looks confused and depressed that his identity was suddenly revealed by the mouth of someone.

On the other hand, a direct succession with an increasingly painful look.

Against him like that, I...

I bowed my head deeply.

Suddenly, my actions, not just direct succession, but even direct filial piety, are turning that face into a stunner.

In the meantime, I said it out loud to my direct line.

"Lord Ishida is not now a minister of the Toyotomi family, but he is one of these irresistible friends of Toyotomi Hideyoshi.

All I can say is thank you for saving the life of Lord Ishida's wife!

My righteous grandfather, Mr. Tokugawa Jiayang, if you are a very broad-minded man, you must also be forgiven for the life of his wife, Lord Udo, as all the lives of the sons of Lord Ishida were forgiven!

So when I cut the conversation, you realized who I was. I'm desperately trying to lay low. What's more, is it the first time you've ever known that all your own children were helped… those cheeks were wet with warm tears.

When I saw how it was, I kept going.

"I don't know what the circumstances were, but I will be sure to thank you for saving your precious life!

At least don't worry, I will never let this Toyotomi Hideyoshi name blame your house for this!

That's right, all at once, my direct line has spoken to me in a panic.

"Show your face, Lord Hideyoshi.

Even if I just got your word now, that would be a waste of time.

If you try to be a lord, it doesn't make any difference that you kept hiding the wife of someone who can be described as the general of your former enemy.

I was prepared to take the punishment for it. "

The tone feels as gentle as the power is loosing somewhere as I've given up, but more than that, the goodness of his person is seeping out. That's what Naoki asked him this time.

"But... then why is my brother..."

Before the inquiry of Naotaki was over, Shousheng Kitamata, the head elder of the Iui family, came forward and opened his heavy mouth.

"Let me talk about it from then on..."

This was how the defensive victory cut out slowly told us how we became hidden in this mansion.

………

……

5 Years of Celebration (1600) September 17th -

That was only three days after a major showdown took place in the land of Sekigahara.

"Move on!! The great rebel under the heavens, the Ishida Jibe (about Souyoshi Ishida) clan party, even the people in the house, kill them all!

Kill him! Kill him! Kill him! Hiccup!!

It was Hideaki Koyagawa who advanced his army toward Sawayama Castle with such crazy oddities.

In the battle of Sekigahara, he did the important thing that Tokugawa deserved to decide victory and defeat for every 10,000 troops from Ishida. In addition, in the battlefield, he also destroyed the forces of Yoshihei Otani, who was one of the main forces of Ishida.

Turning to that fact alone, it was a sufficiently laudable task, but to him nonetheless, eating the "reverse drop of college aid" broken through by just a few hundred troops led by Yoshiji Otani rounded out his face.

Using that stigma as a perfect opportunity, he was able to spearhead the attack of Sawayama Castle, Sansei Ishida's castle.

It was just a thousand opportunities for him to meet in a hurry for kung fu. With joy and courage, he stormed into Sawayama Castle, which was no longer a dead body.

That number, approximately fifteen thousand.

Among them were, so to speak, the former head of the Jiui family, Naoto Jiui, and Kitamata Shousheng, a heavy minister of the Jiui family since that time. It should be noted that at this time, Uiyi Naosheng, the eldest son of Uiyi Naosheng (later about Uiyi Naosheng), was not in formation because of his illness and weakness, and his second son, Uiyi Naosheng, had accompanied Hideyoshi as Hideyoshi Tokugawa's lowest surname, and had not participated in the battle of Sawayama Castle.

Approximately two thousand and eight hundred soldiers and ministers stood in the opposite castle of Sawayama, beginning with Masahi Ishida, the father of Sansei Ishida, and Masahi Misei's brother.

Sansei's brother, Masahi, inspired the soldiers as he saw Tokugawa's forces attacking him in the square in front of Honmaru on the summit.

"I can definitely come back to this castle after Lord Masaoji defeats Tokugawa Jiayang!

Patience till then!!

Show him the strength of Ishida and Sawayama, rebel Tokugawa!!

- Oops!

Yes, at this time they had not yet been informed of the outcome of the battle in the land of Sekigahara, nor had they ever thought that the settlement had already arrived in the form of a "defeat".

Therefore, they all thought that if they stood in this castle, which was made difficult to attack, it would hold up until the time of the triumph of Mitsune.

"Father!! Then, it will be the defense of the major gates that the enemy will be pushing against!

Let's go! Morning Cheng!! "

"Ha!"

Zhengcheng, who was in Honmaru, speaking so to his father Zheng Successor, leads a few soldiers, along with his own son, Dynasty Ishida, to follow the scene.

positive succession, who was watching how that son was doing, looked difficult and

"We can't lose here to make Sang-san do justice."

And he stood back, ready in his belly, quietly, during the judgment of the temple of heaven.

Thus, the lid of the battle of Sawayama Castle was cut and dropped.

There are two main paths leading to Honmaru in Sawayama Castle.

One is the major gate at the front. One is the modus operandi gate of water from the foothills on the right hand side of the major gate.

Tokugawa's army split into two hands to tackle each castle gate's offense.

"Break it! Break it! Break it!!

Hideaki is directing the destruction of the gate in a desperate shape, but the boulder is one of the "things that is just Sansei", the major gate of Sawayama Castle.

And when they rained relentless cannons and bows upon the soldiers that had slain at the wide mouth of the tiger, they overflowed before the gates of the castle with wounded soldiers of the Kohayakawa army.

Masahiro Ishida inspires his army soldiers with his tight face on the look of it.

"Protect!! I saw no general in the enemy!!

Keep guarding the gate!!

Then you heard that, Hideaki Koyagawa made his face bright red and furious.

"Me!! Don't be silly!!

What are you doing!! Break down the gate!!

If we don't hurry up, we'll be late when Tanaka!!

At this time, the soldiers led by Yoshimasaka Tanaka were attacking the modus operandi gate of the water and were in a hurry to break through the gate before Yoshimasaki, no matter what Hideaki did.

But the castle gate is stiff and hard to attack.

- Wow!

- Stay... stay...

As the sacrifices by Ishida's shooters continued to increase one after the other, Shousheng Kitamata, the elder of the Uiyi regime, who was watching the situation backwards as an eye-catcher, went on to advise against the Uiyi regime.

"My lord, the cost of the Kowakawa army is only increasing."

"Uhm... but if you don't seem to have an attacker outside of here and the mouth of the water, you don't have a choice"

The look on the face of the Regent who replied so is stiff. Against him like that, Shouxin kept his head down.

My lord, I have an idea.

"What? Tell me."

"Ha! Ahead of this, there is the mansion of Sansei Ishida and the mansion near the left of the island.

In the meantime, there is a gateway to the Gate of Fahwa Gate, which is a secret way out... "

"You mean attacking the Mansion? A mansion where there are no more enemy soldiers, but only stomachs and children…"

It is not impossible that the direct government said so and darkened his face. "The Red Ghost of Jiui," he was feared from around him, but it was true that he did not want to imitate the irresistible women and children as rough as pointing the murder blade.

But Shouxin has advised him to do it.

Apparently, however, the intentions were different.

"No, we don't do anything to attack the Mansion, we just pretend to attack the Fahrenheit.

If you do, you will need to break down the soldiers who are now firmly defending the major gates.

That should make the gate defense somewhat sweeter "

It was a direct government that had a little thought into the word, but ordered the victory to be preserved with a low voice when the stray was soon dispelled.

"I see... that might be a good idea.

Tell Hideaki Kimgo (Hideaki Koyakawa) who is on the front line quickly!

"Ha! Thank you for listening!

Now that will be communicated directly by Shi!

So delightful a victory.

But he didn't imagine it at this time.

This advance is the tragedy that brings...

At this time, evening was already approaching, but despite more than five times the difference in power, Sawayama Castle on the iron wall had not even shown any signs of collapse at all by Ishida soldiers with Sansei Ishida's righteous heart.

On the contrary, the damage to Tokugawa Momentum only increases...

It goes without saying that Hideaki, who had no measures to unlock an unexpected war situation and had a creepy face whose eyes were out of focus due to a burning sense of impatience, listened to the progression of the defensive victory or no, jumped and exploded his joy.

"Hiccup!! Well done, you told me!

That's it! That's all I got!

Hiraoka ah! I'll leave the attack on this big gate to you!

I will take my own hand and surround myself!!

Hiccup!!

When Hideaki entrusted Hiraoka, his elder, with the attack of the Great Gate, he disappeared to the Mansion at the next moment after ordering it to end.

Inside the bosom of the victory guard who saw Hideaki, arguably the anomaly, there is some unease.

- Those eyes... carried unusual colors...

The anxiety gradually grew against his will to the point where he could no longer be there or even there.

When Shouxin spanned the horse, he spoke calmly as he managed to contain the palpitations in his chest, striving for his lowest name, which was nearby.

"As it is, we will go to the Mansion about Lord Kimgo Nakamitsu.

Lord... I'm sorry to tell you this, but tell your lord to rush if you need anything. "

"Ha!"

When the last name replied briefly, he quickly rushed to the rear Uiyi administration.

The victory of one side shouted loudly at an army led by itself without seeing it through.

"We will provide support in the rear of Lord Jingo's army! Everyone's! Go on!!"

Shouxin kicks the horse's belly hard as he shakes off a black cloud of unspeakable anxiety.

- Nothing... I hope nothing happens...

I can't help but hope my intuition is worrying about the victory.

But...

The intuition was brilliantly centered...

As the sky stained purple at dusk, a shout rose from one of the soldiers going ahead to defend the victory.

"It's in the smoke!! Apparently there's a fire coming out of the mansion!!

"What!!?

Shouxin stared into the evening as he yelled that way with his face blue.

How dare you come from there? It did come into my eyes that the smoke from both muscles was rising from the front.

"Shit!!

Yes... what he regretted...

There's only one thing that shows...

Hideaki Oyagawa's army began to ravage the irresistible mansion.
