After Okubo Hirohiko left the room, Tadashi Okubo, Tadashi Okubo and his wife, and me, Hideyoshi Toyotomi, remained and looked at each other in some awkward atmosphere.

"Father! There is one thing here, nothing more than to keep your head down from your father and fix the mood of your great-uncle."

It is Daikubo Tadashi who cut it out with such seriousness. I'm guessing he has a hard time seeing Hirohiko Okubo, who has completely bent his navel and returned to his mansion. I'm blue-faced and bowing my head.

In response to him like that, his father, Tadashi Okubo, replied with a still grumpy look away.

"Why do I have to bow my head to Hiroshigami! He must be too bigoted!

And why would he go back to his mansion?

"Well... that's..."

Maybe there's a reason Loyalty turned a blind eye to me for clouding words, apparently not wanting me to know.

When I looked a little strange, the faithful wife who saw the look said again in a blurred manner.

"With that said, you don't know the right minister! Tell me about it...!

"About that?

"Here! It is!"

And, loyalty accidentally suppressed her mouth sitting beside her, but it's weirder not knowing what "that thing" would indicate if she told me so far.

When I faithfully send a gaze that I expect to continue the conversation, Loyalty turns away from that gaze and turns her gaze towards her loyal neighbor.

gazed neighbors, becoming more and more solidified,

"Huh! That's what I found out!!

And it shut its mouth.

- But... you got caught up in something daunting... now it's a matter of deepening friendship or something before that...

Moreover, the seed of the disturbance is not accumulated because it is my visit.

If we keep pulling back, that's what will end up with all the bad impressions.

Whatever you do here, you have to get Hiroshima Okubo to fix that mood and understand that I am not an enemy to the Okubo family, but rather a strong ally.

Besides, this evening there will be a reception from me and Chihime at Edo Castle.

We have to settle for about a minute (about two hours) until then.

But this is the one time I've asked Princess Tortoise of Castle Ghana to help me.

- I'll let you get over anything!!

And I renewed my resolve to focus on my eyes.

... but what am I supposed to do in just a few moments when I'm in the mood again...

A man named Hirohiko Okubo is quite stubborn from what he sees, and once he decides, he will be the owner of a character that will never bend.

This is where I hit the gate of his mansion next door, and instead of coming out of the mansion, it falls to be washed away with salt.

Again, as Loyalty says, it's probably the quickest way to get your neighbor to bow her head and fix her mood. But if I did, I would put in the opinions of Hiroshigami, who makes it a "speech trap such as putting Toyotomi people in the mansion," and now I won't be able to get anywhere near Okubo's house.

It was a completely blocked state, so to speak...

That's not just me, loyalty seems to be the same thought, and he's haunting his head with a roar of "hmm" too.

In the meantime, Loyalty said, trying to throw up.

"Hmm! I can't even cook dinner on my own. It's a man. In two or three days, he will raise his voice and bow his head from himself!

To the word, a faithful wife tuned in with a smiling face.

"Well, then I'm sure you'll be back tomorrow! Because people can't beat hunger! Hehe."

Thank you. This loyal wife seems to have a verse to be optimistic about everything.

He smiles at the words he says himself and nods, "Yeah, yeah," he says.

However, if it's not as large as this, it's probably just fine because it seems difficult to do good things with guys like these Three Rivers samurai symbols.

And loyalty also became a "wait because you have no choice" face with a loud sigh.

But in this situation, only I was in a hurry.

- This is not good... I'm leaving Edo with Okubo's wife!

As I applauded the situation, Tadashi looked at me and said in a squeaky voice.

"Toyotomi, Minister Right... that's all for today, will you please return to the castle?

Let me show you the embarrassment. "

If it's cut out like this, there's no reason to keep staying here. I clenched my teeth inside.

And as everyone's gaze on the spot concentrates on me,

- Is there nothing more than a nod without being able to say anything anymore...

It was then that I almost gave up...

- Piscilli!!

All of a sudden, a sharp sound was made and opened.

Loyalty and loyalty give a sharp gaze to the sound of its so rough and open bamboo.

"Open your mouth without speaking, etc.! You rude bastards! Who is it?

The rage sounds like a thunderbolt of loyalty falls.

Then a boy, supposedly as old as a thousand princesses, entered the room with tears full of eyes.

The appearance is such a garment full of holes that it cannot be said to be a samurai child, however evil must have been the owner of the windy and vicious eyes.

I don't know why you're in this mansion, but you're not from the Okubo family...

Among other things,

"Oh? Isn't that Tasuke? I don't know what's going on."

The loyal wife inquired in the same laid back tone against the boy, who was clearly called "Taisuke" of angry mind.

"What's going on? No!! Why did you kick Hiroshigami out?!

Taisuke boy stepping on his feet dangly, teasing his shoulders off when he was little and stuffing us.

As he approached him slowly, he finally began to gaze at his face much closer to his neighbor.

As I rounded my eyes, Loyalty answered in a chilling tone, calmly poking the boy's forehead.

"Hmm! I didn't kick you out! I went back to my mansion from myself."

"I don't know what Hiroshigami-sama would do to get out of here!! There's everybody in here!

I put my neck around the word "everyone" in Taisuke and accidentally pinched my mouth from the side.

"Guys? Who are you talking about?

"Speaking of everyone, it's up to everyone! By and large, who are you?

You were picked up by Master Hiroshigami, too!? What you're wearing for that matter is something big!

"The Hiroshigami Palace picks it up? What's this all about?

When I tried to ask,

"Enough! Faithful! Answer him easily. There's no point hiding it from me when this happens anymore."

and the loyal neighbor faithfully gave instructions.

And with a small poked forehead, but a rough nose, Taisuke, on his ass, Loyalty began to talk about astonishing circumstances.

It is a well-known fact that since the Battle of Sekigahara, rule by the Tokugawa family over the Great Names around the country began, but many of them were still converted and their territories confiscated.

And indulging in the conversion was, of course, one of the major roles of Tadashi Okubo as an old man.

There would have been a lot of changes where there were no children, that is, no inheritance, but there were other acts that would be subject to some kind of blame. In other words, Tadashi Okubo was tightly controlling whether Daimyo was following Tokugawa's laws correctly.

Naturally, it goes without saying that among those who have been converted, there have also emerged those who resent Tadashi Okubo.

In the meantime, the clan, Hirohiko Okubo, stood on the arrow side of an objectionable eye directed at his neighbor.

In other words, he brokered new places of service so that the renovated names and even those in his household would not be lost on the streets as one.

They all said that if food support was maintained, that dissatisfaction would be alleviated as well, and the harsh eyes that should be directed at their neighbors were alleviated a lot thanks to Hiroshigami.

But there were still those who blurted.

That was the toddlers taken from this mansion.

They were executed as a result of the conversion, or they were oblivious to the words of the samurai who had harmed themselves, and because they were young, they could not find their place of service.

For the toddlers.

- Abandoning them here may have no effect on my life.

But the stigma of the Okubo family that they abandoned their toddlers must remain in their last generations!

One generation only, but the first name lasts till the last!

I will raise these children, even if they are poor, until they are well served!

That means protecting the honor of the Okubo family!

Declaring it that way, he began to feed many children, in a never great bustle: the flagbook of only two thousand stones.

But it is the children of those who have been executed for some mischief.

It is not hard to imagine that if acts like sheltering them were to snack, there would also be people from all over the Tokugawa family who turn their uninteresting faces to the Hiroshima Gate. Besides, Hiroshigami's mansion was too small to take on many children.

So Tadashi invited the young children into his mansion to keep them out of the public's sight in order to help his uncle with his work.

I heard so much talk, and I was upset.

"No way... the real reason Lord Hiroshigami didn't want me in this mansion..."

"Yes... my great-uncle was concerned that this would be exposed to the Minister of Toyotomi's Right..."

Loyalty answered with a low profile, but Loyalty snorted in a grumpy manner.

"Hmm! I'm not doing anything wrong!

You just have to be square!

Even if the world knows about it, it's not something to blame!

And... "

So when he hung up the words, Loyalty shouted in the back of the ox.

"That's not where you're doing it!!

If you want to tell me something, come on in!

To the words, all the children came into the room. Apparently they are the ones Hiroshigami picked up. Everyone was pointing their worried faces at us.

And on their behalf, a beautiful woman, supposedly in her mid twenties, who was at the forefront, spoke faithfully, terribly.

"Dear Loyal Neighbor... If Hiko Left Gate were to leave this mansion, we would leave this mansion too"

"I'm here, are you going somewhere? I don't suppose you're thinking about pushing me into that mansion with that number?

"No... I can't bother Hiroshigami anymore or his neighbors...

Thanks for your help so far. "

My body is trembling, even though I say so with great temperament.

Of course there will be no going. But is this also the kind raised by the samurai of Migawa? Her eyes felt a strong will to "lose something".

After a glimpse of such an officer, his neighbor, who turned his face toward his loyal wife, directed him with an unchallenged voice toward her.

"They're going all the way over here.

Help him prepare to leave.

Like I'm leaving here tomorrow morning. "

"Father!! So...!"

Then these children will die… I guess that's how loyalty tried to say it. But before the word was uttered, Loyalty drank.

"Ugh!! That's what you decided!

And don't pinch your mouth!!

"Grr... then..."

Loyalty is also the Samurai of the Three Rivers. Even though my father had thundered me, I still didn't try to break that attitude.

In the meantime, when the apple came to Taisuke's side, he gently put his hands on his back, which was still bright red in the face and shaking his shoulders.

"Tasuke... let's go now. Now say hello to your neighbor."

But that tasuke,

"Ugh no!! I can't wait till tomorrow! Get out of here now. Aah!

And when I yelled, I just popped out of the room.

"Tasuke!!

Unexpectedly, the apple shouts out loud on its back, but Taisuke like the wind can't even stop. He ran straight to the front door of the mansion.

And the officers and their loyal wives also left the room to support their departure.

Once again, the room will only be for the original three. The air in the room, visibly hot, cooled at once as fewer people.

In the meantime, it was loyal to stuck next door in a hurry.

"Father! Are you sure you don't want to go after Taisuke?

"Throw it away, throw it away. He will also rush into the mansion of the next Hikoshi Gate anyway. Tomorrow, he'll come back with his head bowed."

"I was just hoping that even I would be back in a couple of days. In the meantime, if the officers came to Bobo Mansion relying on Hiroshima Gate, if there was no way to drive them back, I wouldn't even invite them in.

That way, even for Hiroshigami, he will have a reputation for returning to this mansion, "to avoid pity for the cops."

Loyalty became a hazy expression in the words of its neighbor.

"No way... Father said he allowed the lords to leave this mansion in order to make a name for his great-uncle to come back to this mansion..."

"Hmm! Don't make me say anything more!

Is it a shade of light... the neighbor has turned a pussy.

I saw how it was and was amazed at the good driving of my neighbor, as well as feeling like I could see why he was treasured inside Edo Shogun.

- Stubborn all the way, but serious about humanity... I guess this is something like the true summit of the Mikawa samurai...

And if this happens, there won't be a curtain for me to squeeze out.

It was with great regret that I decided that today was nothing more than leaving the mansion as it was and creating an incentive to deepen my friendship another day.

"I am truly sorry that I triggered this disturbance.

Let's make amends. Until then, be patient. "

And when I bowed my head, Loyalty said to me with tender eyes.

"No, this is the one who showed you the ugly part, and I didn't want to.

Besides, it is well understood from the behavior so far that the Right Minister of Toyotomi is not the one who does harm to the Okubo family and the Lord.

I'm sorry I doubted you weirdly. "

"No, now if you'll excuse me."

"Yeah, well, if we ever see each other again, we'll take our time talking about the current situation."

So when I said goodbye, I decided to follow the mansion with loyalty, just as I did when I arrived.

Thus were I and Tadashi Okubo, who left Okubo Mansion, but the moment they crept through the gate, they both turned their eyes round.

How dare you bowl down with Hirohiko Okubo?

There was a soil bottle in that hand that would contain booze, and apparently after leaving Okubo Mansion, I went shopping to town with that leg.

Obviously it was the Yan Left Gate, who looked disgusted when he looked at this one, but the faithful spoke to him with joy and courage.

"Yay! Aren't you on the big uncle! We're all worried about you! Please come back to the mansion soon."

"Ugh! If my loyal neighbor does not come to bow to his head, I will not return to your house!

"Don't be so firm. They won't tell us if our great-uncle leaves the mansion.

By tomorrow, the apples are supposed to leave the mansion without even going.

That would also fit round if my great-uncle returned.

I wonder if you could think of one thing here, and maybe you could break it from your great-uncle... "

"The origins..."

The face of the middle-aged Yanko Gate, who shrugged so, stained slightly red. Even if you look at me from someone else in the red, you can quickly see that Hiroshigami cares about the apple.

But when Hiroshigami shook his neck so as to cut off his feelings for her like that, he tried to walk straight away toward his mansion.

"Big uncle!!

"Ugh! If the cops are leaving the mansion from themselves, there's no stopping them!

I don't want to talk to the Lord any more!

How stubborn...

I was a little overwhelmed by the way I willingly defended my pride over my feelings at the same time.

And when this happens, it is obvious that there is no use for loyalty here, no matter how much it detains.

He agreed that I would look out for him, and he tried to put the spot behind me.

... and it was then...

"Is that Hiroshigami Palace? Weren't you with Tasuke?

And the gatekeeper of Okubo's mansion called out to Hiroshigami.

"Hmm? What do you mean?

"No, Tasuke, who flew out of Okubo Mansion earlier, ran after Hiroshigami to the town knowing that Hiroshigami was away."

"What no? I didn't see Tasuke..."

When Hiroshigami unexpectedly frowned, some suspicious blurring came to a boil in my mind as I watched from behind.

- I just wish I was lost...

That's who I was trying to think about, but Hiroshigami seems more like a type of person who quickly moves what he feels with his heart into action than he thinks with his head.

"That fool! Whoa! Hold this!

"What!? Yes! Big uncle!?

And when Hiroshigami faithfully deposited the liquor in his hand, it disappeared toward the city the next moment.

Me and my loyalty stood on the scene for a little while when I was caught in the sword curtain of too many Hinko left guards. But I faithfully said I would return it to me soon.

"Loyal Hall! Let's go to town and find Taisuke!

"What... yes!

But who could have imagined at this time...

About the misfortune that descends on Tasuke and Hikoshi Gate...

The thick clouds that covered Edo had completely blocked the light of the day and yet shed dark shadows as if it were sunset.
