Celebration 11 (1606) December 21 Hiraki (approx. 10: 00 pm) -
He noticed in front of the room that there was a sign of one person there when Misty Hidden Talent Returned to one of the rooms where he had been as he dragged his body.
From the moment I captured the appearance of the inn in the distance, I was immersed in the relief I had arrived safely, but from such warm water, I tighten my body and mind as if I had bathed in ice water at once. Then, on his right hand, which he could barely move, he let "not" sneak, and he went one step closer and closer to the room.
- Got ahead of you...
As he wore a slight nervousness, he crawled and pulled up to the front of him, softly opening his fist as wide as his fist. And I slowly asked what was going on inside.
Then he jumped into the eye of talent...
He had a gentle smile on his face.
Sitting upright and stretching her spine, she flickers as if rising, illuminated by the luminous lights that plug in from the third moon.
When she sees her talent and bows her head deeply, she welcomes him in a sober voice reminiscent of the sound of the harp, "Welcome back".
Talent slowly enters the room after confirming with signs that there are no other people.
It was right after that...
Akane graciously embraced her talent.
The talent is wrapped in a fluffy, soft feel and a sweet scent like a golden wood rhino.
Still, he asked her calmly.
"Why are you here? I need you to help me with Tenzo..."
Akane was in the middle of his talented words, and as he turned to him, he added a thin finger to his mouth as it was.
"Reasons, etc. … are decided for one"
Talent stared into her eyes silently, feeling the soft feel of Akane's fingers on her mouth.
In Akane's eyes, only one of "mercy" floats.
She continued.
"Master Jianzo has come back worried."
And Akane, gently put the talent to bed. There's no reason why Akane said that, it's no reason either. Still, the genius seemed to have put the logic through by some sort of action that he didn't even understand. As a sign of that, he honestly deposited himself against her and removed his whole body.
When the tension is resolved, the unbearable pain returns. That's enough to prune the consciousness of the talent, but he was stuck in his place. Nothing distracted me, and I don't mind flying my consciousness to the other side like this, that's what I think, but the "greed" of wanting to stay a little more like this was connecting his consciousness with a thin thread.
Akane on the other hand is carefully wiping her talented body by straining cold water in a bucket and wetting a clean hand plush. And when the crushed left arm was fixed with an escort, and gently applied pain relieving medicine from the belly to the chest, he wrapped it around with a white cloth, putting on something soft to avoid a strong impact.
The coolness of the water transmitted from the hand tug turns to warmth…
Talent in that matter remembered a tickle I had never felt before in my life.
In the midst of such confusion, the treatment with Akane was hands-on, albeit brief.
"That's a familiar gesture..."
"Heh heh... since I was a doctor since I was a child, I was handy with my father..."
"I don't know"
After a short exchange of words, silence flowed between them again.
It was once again the talented who broke that silence.
"Lord... what are you going to do now?
"I'm going to stay on your side until Master Jianzo's additions and reductions get better..."
"So you're still here tomorrow, are you going to? You don't want a reward, do you?
"Hehe... Dear Talent. You know people have more important things than silver."
"Ha...? At least for the Lord, something more important than silver, etc…"
The moment that so talented is about to say...
Once again, the talented mouth was blocked with something soft.
But it wasn't a finger.
It's...
Akane's lips...
The lights of the Three Suns and Moons reflect the two shadows on the floor of the room.
Now that shadow...
We're one.
After a while, I gently left the talent store.
"I saved the dancers today, as ordered by Master Talent.
As a reward, let me stay with you a little longer. "
"But..."
"Hehe... that's what's more important than silver..."
The midwinter air is harsh and cold.
That's the same thing, even in an inn room.
But now, one of the inns in Nagahama is surrounded by warmth.
That warmth...
It was a difficult reward for Akane to replace anything...
◇ ◇
And then the night dawned...
Celebration 11 (1606) December 21 Unmomented (approx. 10: 00 am).
Finally... Hidekang Nojo descended on the land of Nagahama.
I've been taking your offerings shiftily since Echizen, and those few, hundred, are crap. Hidekang, who straddled his horse in the middle of the line, went down the middle of the road with dignity.
The appearance was so overwhelming that the people of Nagahama accidentally lay flat at the edge of the road.
"Oh! I miss you! Everyone!! This is the first place His late Royal Highness Taiko held a castle and laid the foundations of this city!! Feel the glory of His Royal Highness Taiko, who is still here!!
- Ha!!
Hidekang is in a good mood to issue a decree. And when he glared up at the sunny skies of winter for only a moment, he turned his horse's neck to Nagahama Castle, which will be his inn this evening, smiling at his stern face.
………
……
Just around the same time, Takasaka Hiranuchi also spanned horses again and was on the road.
By its side, the Negishi Tsugaru, also spanning horses and featuring a greater chest than Hiranuchi Takasaka. And before and after them, the sneaks of Takasaka Hiranuchi's men, dressed as a total of about twenty raspberry dancers, consolidate.
Behind it, like a spectacle, there were also twenty or so people in line connected by a rope.
Among them were the faces of Sasuke Monkey and Shigemitsu Maida.
In addition, they included Hiranuchi Tsuzawa, Hiranuchi Tsuji, and the Wind Demons as well.
Though there have been some mistakes, Takasaka Hiranuchi can't contain the excitement because things are generally going according to his thoughts, his eyes glowing and his mouth loosening.
Of course, across the street from them is the stage by the Aquatic Sea.
At this time, it is only natural that Hiranuchi Takasaka had no doubt that everything would work out.
But Shinobu Maida's face also felt half convinced that everything was going to work out just as well.
Needless to say, the end of that drawing in my head was the opposite in both.
………
……
It was after noon that Hidekang Nobunaga Nobunaga Nobunaga, who had just become the castle owner of Nagahama Castle this year, was welcomed out of the castle with a meagre offering.
Of course there's only one way to get to Hidekang after this.
This is the stage where the kabuki dance takes place.
... and it was just after Hidekang slowly left the major gate of Nagahama Castle.
"Echizen! I picked you up! Come on! Follow me after it!
And how a little man with the appearance of a traveler appeared before Hidekang with a nitanita, viscous smile.
It was Sanho Izo.
Hidekang, who looked at the Izo and narrowed his eyes, asked him.
"Is your Lord one of the example travelers?
"Go! So it is."
Hidekang stared at Izo, who responded immediately.
Then one of the neighbors, who was beside Hidekang, went forward and came out before Izo.
"Well, shall we have something to show you?"
"Ha? I don't have anything with me..."
"That shouldn't happen. I hear that the greeter will have a letter of introduction from Lord Ohachi Okamoto, who was prepared to appreciate Lord Echimae every time."
"Okamoto Ohachi... are you..."
When I heard the name, it was Izo, who glanced at me instantly, but I immediately reverted to my original pungent expression and pretended to twist my head "about what I did".
Then you found the condition suspicious, and Hidekang's proximity shouted, "You crook! Hit him!!" and commanded the other offerings.
Itsan, who happened to be seized by several benign samurai, clarified desperately that she could be pressed to the face on the ground.
"Please wait!! I have only been told by my husband to pick up Lord Echimae here and deliver a letter from a certain person at that time!
I have not heard that you are Ohachi-sama Okamoto!!
"Shut up!!
Then one of the samurai, who had suppressed it, took a single script from Izo's pocket.
Itsan's complexion, which she saw, blued slightly.
"Yay! That won't happen! It's an important letter that your husband deposited with you, asking you to give it directly to Lord Echimae!
"What!? A lowlife like you could have handed it directly to your lord!! You rude bastard!!
"But...!!
"Yes!! No excuses or anything!! Anyway, this letter must also deceive the lord, a fake one!! Something like this! This is what you do!!
and the moment the samurai tried to rip the writ, Hidekang suppressed its hand.
"Well, isn't that good? Which, let's see if this Hidekang directly confirms whether it is a false letter"
Having said that, when he received the writ from the samurai at hand, Hidekang spread it out gently.
It was that moment...
Now when Hidekang blued his complexion slightly, the next moment he set blue muscles on his forehead and burned his eyes in fury. And when I approached him with a large strand, even to the source of Izo, who had been seized, he turned a stark red eye, including the samurai who had seized him. In the less intimidating sensation of his eyes, the samurai, who had suppressed Izo, lay flat with their hands free. Izo thought of it, and he lowered his head as well.
Hidekang exhales loudly, "Phew," and seems to calm his audacious emotions.
But...
When his face turned bright red so that it did not subside, he raised his legs wide.
- Dokari!!!
I wondered if the blunt sound had stuck to the sky, and one man was blown away flashly.
What a samurai he was trying to rip the letter off, not Izo. In other words, Hidekang Nojo kicked him to power.
There was a reason to enrage Hidekang so much, but it was in the sender of the letter.
Yes... it's the sender...
Hideyoshi Toyotomi...
But I don't know why I got the cage, and Hidekang got angry as he spit at him with his mouth open.
"Me!! Which one is the impudent!!
The beginning and end of trying to break such an important letter without even trying to identify things correctly, just my preconceptions!!
If this is the battlefield, your Lord's neck and torso will stay away!!
"also... sorry!!
Hidekang, whose samurai is no better than to even apologize to fix the occasion, but who is still angry, while still not making sense, said to everyone on the occasion.
"Ok!! This letter is from Toyotomi Rightfu (Toyotomi Hideyoshi)!!
If this person was given to give it to me, it would still be terrible if the Lord would just touch this letter in his hands!!
But I didn't just treat that as evil, I didn't even try to check the sender at the end of the sentence, but decided it was a fake letter and the end of the attempt to rip it off… there's enough disrespect!!
It is absolutely unacceptable, such as forcefully suppressing that head without even listening to this man who can be said to be the sarah's messenger!!
If there were a Toyotomi on this occasion, all of you must be belly amputated on this occasion, so much work!!
At that moment of Hidekang's words, Hidekang's offerings simultaneously rubbed their heads to the ground and became smaller. But he was blind to the way it was, and Hidekang stood up slowly, taking his hand when he leaned in front of Izo.
"Forgive these people for their disrespectful behavior."
That's what I said, how dare you bow your head toward Izo.
Hidekang continued laughing happily at Izo, who was confused without knowing what to do with too much.
"According to this letter, your lords seem to be ready for something.
It's an invitation from my brother in the corner. Please accept. "
Yes... in fact, this letter was made by Hideyoshi Toyotomi himself, so to speak, their 'trump card', before the face of Shinobu Maida left Osaka Castle.
It's...
- If Lord Echimae is likely to fall into enemy traps in Nagahama, take this letter and keep Sir Echimae.
It was due to a brilliant idea.
Exactly now, that 'trump card' played its part.
In other words, Hidekang Nobusaki was supposed to head to the stage by the waiting Awami in Hiranuchi Takasaka, but this letter was about to change his destination.
But as a tribute to it, Hidekang's proximity raised a voice of surprise.
"But then there's the fracture of Okamoto Ohachi in the corner..."
But there is no way Hidekang, who cares more about "family" than anything else, would listen to such words. He caught a sharp glance at the side.
"However, it is only a genuine minister of Hondo, Mr. Okamoto. A certain invitation, or the invitation of Lord Hideyoshi Toyotomi, who is my brother and is no longer in right-ministerial status... which does the Lord care about?
The man nearby rubbed his head to the ground once again, in the temper of Hidekang, who was still just slaughtered.
"Ha!! Sorry!!
Without a glance at him like that, Hidekang turned to Izo and called out in a gentle tone, "Well, ask for guidance," he said.
All of Takasaka Hiranuchi's plans have been torn here.
But he waited, leaping his chest by the pale sea, and had no reason to know this fact.
