Celebration 11 (1606) March 23 -

On this day, I, Hideyoshi Toyotomi, who left Kana Castle, arrived at Tsingzhou Castle, Ozhang, within the same day.

However, Tadayoshi Matsuhei, son of Jiayang Tokugawa, owner of Tsingzhou Castle, lay down sick, and when flashy hospitality could be avoided, a small evening was served.

It was then, after that evening, that the sleepy Chihime was taken out of the room by Aoyagi with the daughter of the samurai Takanagi.

"Lord Kofi!! Long time no see!!

When the pleasant voice sounded in the room, several men entered the room single-handedly with liquor to be replaced by a thousand princesses.

Seeing the men, Princess Kofi narrowed her eyes and revealed her joy.

"Ooh! Everyone's! Long time no see!!

"Ha! I can't believe I'm reunited with Lord Kofi in such a way... Ugh... that's what I do..."

"This is Teradata! As always, the Lord weeps."

"Now that Lieutenant General Ozhang Left (about Chukichi Matsuhei) is under sickness, it's not hard to make a conspicuous fuss, but if we celebrate the reunion enough to drink all our hearts, we can forgive you, too"

Yes, one samurai says, they are beginning to grope each other's cups as soon as possible.

I didn't know what it was like. I tried to round my eyes, but one of the samurai, who noticed me like that, rushed to correct his posture and spoke to me.

"Yay! I am so sorry for this! Minister Toyotomi, right!

The others also put the liquor in their hands once upon a time, and look at me and bow their heads.

I spoke to them in such a calm tone.

"No, no, it's fine. Apparently, you look familiar with Lord Kofi, but what kind of friendship is it?

A samurai who spoke to me first answers my query with his face up.

"Ha! My name is Nagata Lee!

Originally, I was the father of Lord Kofi, I served Mr. Narita, but because of this, it is now up to me to work under Lord Chuyoshi Matsuhei!

"Oh my...! Did you belong to Narita?

"Yes! And there you are, just like Teradata, Faryama, Sato and Arakawa, those who originally worked under His Excellency!

"What... are you the ones who went to Shinobu?!?

"Yay! How did Lord Hideyoshi know about Shinobu!

To my frivolous inquiry, Chang Li's eyes are widening as if surprised.

I saw Princess Kofi knowing about me, but she sighed loudly, "Huh," and turned a cold gaze at me, "Let me do something for myself."

- You traitor...

And I told him to squeeze his teeth in my heart.

"Mmm... well, what... because Lord Kofi told me so much..."

"Oh! Were you there! No, Lord Kofi during the battle at Ninja Castle, it's already like a ghost..."

In the moment of that long Lee's words,

"Gogh!!

Princess Kofi heard a huge cough that

"Yay! Do this! He was going to talk about something extra again!

Anyway, now we work here at Chingzhou Castle!

Wiping the cold sweat off his forehead, Long Lee had just closed, and I walked into their circle with my eyes shining.

"Hey, can I ask you a favor?!?

You had a bad feeling, obviously Princess Kofi was frowning, but the others seem interested in me getting on with my chest swelling to expectations.

"What's going on? Please tell me what we can do."

I made my eyes shine even brighter at the words, I said in my own bright voice.

"Can you tell us about the battle of Ninja Castle and what happened until your lords came here to Qingzhou Castle!?

"Ha! If that's the case, it's cheap!! I was just thinking about blooming in a nostalgic old story!

Isn't that good? Lord Kofi. "

Everyone but Princess Kofi apparently agrees, and only Princess Kofi has a sinister face.

"Huh," she sighed loudly in that situation again,

"Be my guest..."

And he dropped his shoulder, as he gave up.

And through this conversation, I was going to make you think deeply about how I behaved as a general.

………

……

As for Tianzheng 18 (1590)

Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who succeeded Nobunaga Oda's Tenshita Bubu Wu, finally decided to embark on the crusade of the South Kanto champion, Hojo Tsuji (who had already hidden away at this time and ceded the housekeeper to Kijo Tsuyoshi of Minako, but the essence was that Tsuji continued to hold real power) as the last great finish of Tenshita unification.

In response to Toyotomi's army, which became a great army by adding great names from all over the country, Kitajo's name decided on a caged castle to Odawara Castle, a famous castle under heaven.

And at the same time, in every castle under Hojo's command, his family commanded him to fight caged in the castle, without leaving the castle to fight in vain.

At this time, the Narita family, where Princess Kofi and others were, took Shinobu of Musashi Country as their ancestral castle for generations and skilfully crossed the land between rare heroes such as Kenshin Uesugi and Shukang Hojo, and managed to keep your home.

But when they came here, they had to fight as members of Hokujo in order to repay their years of gratitude, and they also decided to defend Shinjo firmly, according to the instructions of their fathers.

But I had a lot of problems with this cage battle.

One of them was, "Who will command the Battle of Cage Castle?"

It was originally the Narita family owner who should have been served by the warring warrior, Mr. Narita, but the key president was bought the martial arts to lead an army in the battle of Odawara Castle's cage castle.

Even as Hojo's government, precisely a total battle, and the castle owners and soldiers of each castle under his command, he had to gather them together to confront Hideyoshi's army.

Still, when Mr. Chairman decided to pack it in Odawara Castle, there was nothing wrong with that.

Because there was a major-general in Ninjuku who had great trust in Mr. Narita Taeji.

It is said that the Tae season was an uncle for the president, and that the president was able to become the head of the Narita family, as well as the strong backing of the Tae season. Besides, he was not known in martial arts, and was so many people in the Narita family that he was referred to as a "sidekick".

- If I had left everything to Lord Taiji, I would be sure!

And everyone in the house used Taeji's martial arts as a favor for this Battle of Cage Castle.

But...

"Thai Palace!! Why!! Wow!

What a sudden death due to illness on the verge of the Toyotomi army letting them attack him.

At this time, the Toyotomi army attacking Shinobu, with Sansei Ishida as its general general, continued to gather around the castle, a situation in which they could not even make a disappointment to the president of Odawara Castle.

Mr. Narita doesn't have any children, and if you stand someone in the castle as a general, other than the direct line of Mr. Narita, the morale of the soldiers will not increase.

At this time, Kofi Narita (later Princess Kofi), eighteen years old, the eldest daughter of the president, and Shizheng Ota, the parent of her upbringing and wife of the president, decided to hasten to have a discussion.

"There is more to Kofi than the Lord becoming a general anymore. My grandmother, Lord Weird Indonesia, fought the battle of Cage Castle as a castle at seventy-one years of age, and led her to victory."

"What are you talking about, Mother! If such a little girl becomes a general, her enemies will be laughed at by their allies! More than that, Mother! I thought it would be more appropriate for my mother to have a penetration from her appearance!

"Well, Kofi! What are you talking about! I'm also hungry for strawberries. The word Piercing Rock is heartbreaking. The Admiral deserves more bravery than that ghost."

"Oh, Mother! If Wawa is still eighteen cute Reiki stomachs, isn't it too much to say ghosts!? I thought that mother's face when she scolded me when I was little was better suited to call me a ghost..."

"Fair enough, Kofi! You can't shake a knife or a sword, so I thought it would be more deserving of a ghost to shake a knife around like a needle."

"No, the ghost is on my mother."

"No, ghosts are worth it"

At this rate, these two can't talk together at all...

"I'm in trouble..."

"Yes... I'm in trouble..."

"Yep... trouble..."

"Hmm...?

Two, one man's voice mixed between them.

When they turned to the bearer of the voice, there was a man there who could not be seen from anywhere.

"Oh... isn't it the elder lord? What are you having such trouble with?

And I sighed, stoned somewhere out of anticipation.

I couldn't help but notice that the stone sighed.

The man known as this eldest parent is Narita's eldest parent.

He was the cousin of our Lord, Mr. Narita, and the eldest son of Taeji Narita, who was a castle boy.

But unlike Mr. Chairman and Taiji, who rang with martial arts, his eldest parents have never set up martial arts such as this.

But on the other hand, I've never been so foolish as a general.

He really was there, working there and getting acclaimed by his surroundings there.

Return the back, this elder parent has a verse that does not claim himself, either on martial arts or on character, thanks to which he has no enemies at all in the house.

This could also be considered his only feature.

And he was very well liked by the inhabitants for what he could tell them.

But that's never because he had good governance.

Instead, he didn't even try to push something.

Then why was he admired by the inhabitants...

It's...

"Hmmm... when I saw that Shinobu and I were in trouble, that was what got us in trouble"

Something...

In other words, he is always a "person in need" and naturally there has been a "person in need" gathering around him.

Yes, he used to listen to the people, and that was a big factor in being admired by the people.

But...

"So, is there some good solution for the elder lord?

"No... not at all, so troubled, Kofi"

He doesn't have the wisdom to just help the "needy"... because it was his hallmark...

And he questioned Princess Kofi about the fundamental.

"By the way, Kofi and the Stone Hall, how can you be in trouble?

"Huh," Princess Kofi sighed loudly at the question.

"My elder lord... your father died and worried about who should be the castle cost of Ninja Castle..."

The eldest parent slapped his hand with a pong, as the point had been made, but he could not have had his own answer together, and frowned again as troubled.

"Was it... but what kind of person is right for the castle...?

In response to that solitary inquiry, the stone pulled out the strength of his shoulders and answered.

"It is the elder lord… it is a good decision to have someone close to your lord..."

The eldest parent slapped his hand with a pong again, but soon he went back to normal and became a troubled face.

"Uhm... what exactly is the person close to Mr. President..."

Then this time Princess Kofi answered with a big sigh, not even saying, "Don't you understand that?"

"That's the eldest... Mr. President, because he doesn't have a man, let's be brothers or something"

The eldest parent continues to ask with a troubled face.

"But... Mr. Chairman's younger brother, Tae-shi, is also attached to Odawara Castle... and when he becomes someone else close... what do you think...?

Princess Kofi, who had begun to be annoyed by the attitude of her elder parents, who had not thought about it, finally answered with all her strength in her voice.

"So! In that case, be the uncle of His Highness! But now that his uncle, Lord Taeji, is dead, the only choice left is to be his cousin or, if he lived, his grandfather!

Even against Princess Kofi of such a sword screen, her eldest parents roar with troubled faces.

"Mmm... my cousin or my grandfather... but my grandfather died... and then... I was in trouble... and I wondered if anyone..."

But... the stone said in the words, a hazy face.

And this may have been the major factor that the eldest parent was liked by everyone.

Yes...

For some reason, disclosing the matter to my oldest parents will solve it at once.

This was also greatly demonstrated in determining the cost of this castle in Ninja Castle.

"Cousin... wouldn't you... cousin..."

"Mmmm... being my cousin... someone..."

"Lord!! My elder lord! Your lord is not the cousin of your lord!!

"What...? Is that...!? That's troublesome!

"No, I no longer have time to worry!! My elder lord! I asked for one here!

Gather the men of the castle immediately!

It is my pleasure to announce to you that I will take the First Father as Admiral!

"Yes! Mother!

"Hey... wait a minute!! That's what I do, but then I'm in trouble!!

But the words of his elder parents could not reach him, and when Princess Kofi went out of her room, she touched every place like the wind.

- Taeji Narita became the man and the eldest father became the castle of Shinobu!

that...

Thus began the battle of Ninja Castle, a one-generation showcase of Nagata's elder father, who is there and who is always in need -
