Celebration 11 (1606) On the eve of April 9 -

This evening also began, as usual, with me, Hideyoshi Toyotomi and Chihime, and the three starlings, without family water.

Time passes pale and as usual.

If someone who knows nothing sees how it goes, they won't feel any discomfort or anything.

But...

"Oh? Hideyoshi, what's wrong? I peered into her face. Is there anything on your cheek?

"Yes, no! It's nothing!

Oh! This burdock is delicious! Hey, a thousand!

A thousand princesses suddenly waved at me talking, my eyes unwittingly rounded. The starch smiled as usual at the way it looked.

"Hehe, weird Hideyoshi"

If anyone knew how it was, my attitude was obviously unnatural. That should be it, too. Not long before this, I heard something shocking from Yukimura Maida...

- The starch has already been noticed. That Hideyoshi's contents have been replaced since that day...

I'm not a liver person enough to dance naturally even when people ask me this.

Shortly after entering this room, my heart burst into tears, and it goes without saying that the sweat overflowed from my whole body the moment the appearance of the starch, which came after me, entered my eyes.

This evening time, which I'm totally used to, is turning into nervousness, as it was that day that came this time of year.

"Hideyoshi? What's wrong with you? Usually they chat with each other..."

When Chihime asked me with a strange face, I shook my shoulder in horror.

"Sort of... right!? Yes, it's always the same!

Obviously, I answer with an uphill voice far from "as usual".

Then a thousand princesses put something increasingly puzzling on her face.

But...

Looks like she noticed something… changed that look.

- Shit!! No way, you got caught by a thousand!

When Chihime blued her face as she glanced at me with her tongue in her heart like that, she became terrified.

"No way... Hideyoshi... do you mean you can see...?

"Huh... what is it?

- No way, you're telling me you're seeing the 'future' or something...!

"It's in..."

"What is that...?

Me swallowing your sauce and spit.

Thousand princesses similarly throated...

"It's in a ghost!!

And I screamed...

"What???

Me, too. The temple stares at Chihime with a smile that makes no difference when she hears the words.

And Chihime started talking so she could stand up.

"Because! Didn't you say Hideyoshi saw a ghost in Sawayama!

Also, you must be making such jokes, trying to scare a thousand!

Hideyoshi's mess! I hate you so much!

I know I don't like a thousand! I hate you so much!

He's shaking his arm, saying something wrong to me, and he's starting to get angry at me on his own.

When I looked at her like that, the starling temple scolded her in a gentle tone.

"This, O Thousand. If you wiggle your chopsticks like this, it's dangerous."

"'Cause Dear Crazy! Hideyoshi, it's your fault! Trying to scare a thousand..."

"Hehehe, Hideyoshi didn't try to scare you a thousand, I think you're frightened."

Chihime has her mouth pointed as she swells her puffy cheeks.

"Hideyoshi says you see things that don't look like a thousand!

To such a thousand princesses' words, the expression of the temple changed only slightly.

That's really a slight change.

It's so small that no one notices.

Still, I now clearly see the change as if I were watching it with a bug.

It's...

Something I could carry pathetic...

"Hehe, O Thousand Ya. Even if you look at the same thing, the way people look is different.

So it's not strange that Hideyoshi can see things that a thousand can't see. "

- People see it differently...

The words are slowly stabbing my heart...

What about "Hideyoshi Toyotomi" in the eyes of my mother's starch right now?

Before I came to this day and age, that is, in her true child, Hideyoshi Toyotomi, and Hideyoshi Toyotomi, who is me, the way she looks must be completely different in her.

Yes...

Now I'm not the "My Child" she risked her life to protect.

She realized that when I came to this time, that is, six years from now.

But it's no surprise to me that you treat me with deep love so that I don't even feel fine dust about it.

But is that affection a "false affection"...

Are you just adjusting to me for the Toyotomi family...

Don't you really care about my future...

Such speculation covers my chest with a gray cloud.

But...

The stare stared at me and continued, as if he had spotted my heart.

"So don't doubt what you're seeing right now.

All you have to do is love those who are in their eyes. "

My heart shook at the words.

- Love the person in front of you, with all your heart... do you think the Temple has ever done so...

But...

I'm not a "real kid," to put it.

Yet...

Those words are going to come out of my mouth unexpectedly.

Still, I managed to keep myself and stare back at the temple.

"Dear Odd! I'm not sure a thousand!

Thousand princesses, who had been thinking about it for a while, raised their voices out loud, and the temple pointed that smile at Thousand princesses, as he had returned to me.

And asked in a slow tone.

"Ochiya. Now look at Hideyoshi."

"Hideyoshi?

"That's right. Look at Hideyoshi."

Thousand princesses frown, but they stare straight at me.

It's embarrassing to be stared at once at close range.

I accidentally turned a blind eye, but Chihime looked at me like that with such seriousness for a while.

Then…

The blue face of a thousand princesses gradually changed red.

"How about that? Thousands. Now what did Thousands feel?

"I feel something pompous and warm from inside my body... what is it? This..."

"Hehe, that feeling means it's important, O Thousand.

And now, what my Hideyoshi Wa looks like should be different from what your thousand-year-old looks like.

That's because people feel differently about them.

Well, if you're dealing with Hideyoshi, you may look much the same in Wow and Thousand...

So it's not strange if you're in the same place, or if the landscape you see is different from Hideyoshi's. "

"Mmmm... I'm still not sure a thousand!

Thousands want to see the same landscape as Hideyoshi!

"Hehe, that's fine, O Thousand.

I also want to see Watara, the same landscape that Hideyoshi and Ochi are looking at.

So you try to understand them better, you try.

I wonder if that's what it means to love someone. "

"Then Thousand must know more and more about Hideyoshi, is that what you say?

The starling eye narrows to such an innocent inquiry of a thousand princesses.

I was feeling a little loneliness there again.

Hideyoshi Toyotomi, whom the Temple knew, is no longer here.

Still, she keeps loving me, trying so hard to understand me.

That would be because she really cares about me.

I'm getting confused.

Why can you love me so much?

Why are you desperately trying to understand other people's me?

- Why...

I want to put it in my mouth and ask.

But in front of a thousand princesses who know nothing, they can't even utter words that would expose themselves to who they are.

I just had nothing better to do than get a confused glance at the Starling Temple.

It was a starling temple that would have noticed its gaze, but said to Chihime.

"Hehe, right, a thousand. We're going to try to learn more about Hideyoshi.

So let's take the night off already. "

"Yes! Dear Odd!

Okay, Hideyoshi! Good night! "

Thousand princesses don't know what they understood, but they reply with a sunny face, as somewhere they were convinced.

The temple withdrew her hand like that and tried to leave the room behind.

But can I remain blind to anything?

And can we continue to spend the rest of this breast covered in thick clouds?

The moment I asked myself that, the words were out with my mouth shut.

"Please wait a moment! Mother!"

A starch with a sudden surprised look at my shout.

And I suggested one thing without getting my hair in.

"Tomorrow! Could you please go to Kyo with me tomorrow!!?

"To Kyo...? Why?"

"Big Buddha... let's go to Big Buddha!

By "Big Buddha" we mean "Fong Hiroshi Temple" in future generations. At this time there is still no temple named "Fonghiro Temple", but goes by the name of "Big Buddha". Needless to say, my father, Hideyoshi Tai, made me build the Great Buddha, but it collapsed by the Great Earthquake. Me… it was the Great Buddha who was about to be made again by the instructions of the starch that replaced me, but it was also burned down by fire four years ago.

But once again, the Temple was instructing us to prepare for reconstruction.

I suggested we go check it out.

Sure, right now, it's a genuine place to achieve a response to Chung-hye Matsuhei, but I don't feel like I really have to settle with the starling temple.

I wonder why she loves me so naturally.

And why did Yukimura Maida reveal to me today the fact that "Yodo is aware of my secret"?

I had an intuition that I would have a deeper understanding of who Toyotomi Hideyoshi was.

"Well, this is a pleasure. Now, let's talk about it quickly and to the former (Kiryu and the original).

I'll let him make the arrangements.

Hehe, I'm looking forward to it. "

"It's sloppy! I want to go with you a thousand times! Hideyoshi! Are you sure you want to stay with me a thousand times?!?

Thousand princesses turn to moist eyes who beg me with desperate shapes. Her eyes moved her mind, but she couldn't hear the key thing.

I said ghosted my heart.

"O thousand, this is not going to play. Go look down to rebuild the Great Buddha. That's why we can't take a thousand."

"No! Thousand wants to go with Hideyoshi and Oddie!

Until I heard a good reply, the starch gently put his hand on its back against a thousand princesses who were still standing on their feet as immobile.

"Hehe, Hideyoshi. Isn't that good? Come with me."

I said that to her eyes, somewhere, "Don't worry. I'll make sure my mother and I can talk," she seems to be telling me.

I trusted that intuition and nodded cocklessly.

At that moment, Chihime's face began to smile like a sunflower.

"Glad to hear it! Dear Sir, Hideyoshi! So, this is not how it fits! We'll get ready for tomorrow, and then we'll be on the floor. So come quick! Dear Odd!"

"Yes, yes, a thousand is restless at all"

and the starling temple as she exited the room with her hand pulled by a thousand princesses with a bitter laugh.

And the last time he looked at me, he said with a smile on his face.

"You're going to be tired today, so you're going to rest early. Good night, then."

and…

"Yes, Mother. Good night."

I tried to answer that as usual, but my confusion grew as much as the temple behaved naturally.
