Hiranuchi Takasaka, who is neither close nor powerful, rose to lead as many as twenty men only a few years after the fall of the Koga Ninja, for reasons listed below.
Ask those who know him well about it and you must mention that he is good at standing over people and directing them, that he can act without forgetting me under any circumstances, and that he can put up the measures whenever he thinks about his dangers.
While his men are now being ravaged by the Ten Warriors of Maida, his tenacity and competence are clear, as he is thus gently rushing outside the curtain by a "certain thing" that he has been preparing without divulging to anyone.
By the way, that "certain thing" was going from the inside of the sleeve of the curtain, which was a place for refraining from the stage, to digging through a hole where only one person could pass, creating a way out in case.
But if you ask him, "Why have you been able to get this far?" he must answer immediately.
- It's all because I kept having a 'dream' to get my sister's smile back...
and.
There's only one way for him to go like a disease.
It's...
Toyoku Shrine
There is someone in the place he should do what he does. But from this moment on he had already begun to have a change of heart.
It's...
- If things don't go well, let's get Yuri out of here...
That was the opposite of the ambition we had burned so far.
And it is precisely now that one of the dancers performing a luscious dance at the Toyoku Shrine includes Hiranuchi Takasaka's sister, Yuri, who, aside from Hiranuchi Takasaka, will not have noticed one person.
Because he never even leaked it to anyone in his crew that he always had a sister next to him.
But I didn't realize it at this time even with such a sister thought of him.
That her sister Yuri is trying to accomplish the orders given to her brother by herself in order to fulfill her brother's 'dream'...
◇ ◇
Celebration 11 (1606) December 21 Luncheon -
Around that time it would be unmomented (roughly 2pm) in four and a half minutes (roughly thirty minutes).
The Kabuki dance being held at Toyoku Shrine was finally about to welcome a good environment.
And finally, the time was approaching when it could be called the biggest show. It was that the dancers would dance as they moved away from each holding area to draw an arc.
For Yuri, whose inconspicuous place at the rear was the holding area, the showcase was the only opportunity to be closest to Hidekang Nobushi, who was seated in front of the stage, and he believed that it would not be possible to miss it.
Fortunately, there did not seem to have been any sight through her belly in the Tenzo or Akane, which makes this place a net of vigilance, and its gaze, which is occasionally pointed at, was as soft as it is directed at the other dancers.
Striking drums is not good. That's when the dancers move in unison.
She waited desperately for it "now or from now on" to contain the roaring palpitations.
- Pop pop!
The sound of the drum cuts.
The stage is engulfed by momentary silence, but that is the "quiet before the storm".
Pom, pom, pom!
And here we go...
I see the dancer next to Yuri shifting that leg by one step, and Yuri shifts another.
Under a winter sky so cold that it is likely to freeze, sweat flies through the foreheads of the dancers who have been dancing for so long as it sparks a jewel-like glow.
The thoughts of the dancers behind that smile are purely impeccable, such as encouraging Hidekang Nobushiro to think of the time he enjoys.
But that's exactly what I can't even say "alarmed" about.
And the hour was nigh.
◇ ◇
Don't rush...
If you make the townspeople of Nagahama who go down the road, you won't be able to see what's happening in Hiranuchi Takasaka, who walks down the road early, and see what's inside him.
So much so that he pretends to be calm and blends into the town.
But now he was trying to sharpen the nerves of his whole body, to be blood-eyed and to perceive which position the chaser was in and whether there was imminent danger to him.
What's more, anyway, he kept moving his legs diligently because of what he wouldn't ask for.
... and then.
- Lynn...
A little girl ran through his feet wondering if the light bell sounded behind his inner ear.
My eyes will be rounded in the way they look.
That should be it, too.
What does that girl look like...
"Yuri..."
Because it was his only family left behind, his sister Yuri herself...
Moreover, the bell sounds the same as what he was making them have, "Don't lose sight" when they were still spending time in their hometown of Koga.
- That can't be...
Yes, and there's no reason for him to deny it.
Because Yuri is already too old to say "girl," and whoever sees it is a flattering young woman of her age.
But it just seemed like she was my sister about that girl who was now turning her back and running forward.
"Yuri...!
Don't stop, just turn up a little and speak up.
But as if it wasn't in her ear, the girl rushes toward a big, bright red birdhouse that has been visible in front of her like a wind.
Not to miss its back, Shinauchi changed from an early walk to a rush in nature, similarly aiming for a birdhouse and becoming the wind.
And I said, "Yikes! Yikes!" a familiar, fun laugh came into my ear.
The laughter convinced him.
The girl in front of me said she was her own sister...
And by this time, he had already "given up" on one thing.
That's his' dream '.
In other words, from this moment on, we let go of the seemingly uninterrupted "dream" of "putting Koga back into our own hands".
And his' dream 'returns to its origins.
It's called "living peacefully with my sister". He went back to the feelings of those days when he decided to defend his sister, who had been killed in front of her parents and had lost the glow and smile of his eyes.
I don't know about that...
He himself went back from "Hiranuchi Takasaka, the head of putting together the Koga Ninja," to "Hiranuchi Takasaka, Yuri's heartfelt brother".
Running through the Koga inside and the mountains to him back then with his brothers and sisters as if they were beasts...
Soon we will wander around the birdhouse and enter a wide crossroads.
Then the girl in front of her disappeared from the path and gently into the shrine forest.
Not to miss that back, the Yanai boy laughs at his mouth and follows him as if he were playing the "ghost" of the chase.
That's one step ahead of you through that forest.
The girl stopped her feet perfectly.
Just two steps back from there, stopping your legs as well as in Yasuuchi.
All the leaves fall from the trees and the dead leaves accumulate. In the woods is the only space for the two of us as we dive into the shadows of the great trees.
Hachi didn't raise his voice and stared at the girl's back.
And...
The girl slowly revived...
There...
There was his' dream '.
That is, a full smile reminiscent of spring -
With that smile, the girl moved her lips.
I can't hear you.
I can't hear you, but the words arrive.
It's...
- Thanks for coming.
When a wind blows at that moment, the dead leaves dance through the universe. The dancing brown leaves hid the girl's appearance, but he could clearly see the smile.
But its appearance gradually fades.
- I don't like it... don't go... Yuri!
And when the girl was finally about to disappear.
He took a step forward and tried to reach for a long time.
But...
- Gah!!!
When suddenly he couldn't breathe, one arm wrapped around his neck.
"There is..."
A short groan accidentally leaked out of my mouth, but it didn't seem to sound outside, by a palm covered in my mouth.
Back in reality, when his body began to feel the winter cold, someone who had teased his arm around his neck whispered in his ear from behind him.
"Concept. Your Lord's defeat."
It's fog hiding talent. He snuck out of the inn unarmed, and he was on guard around the Toyoku Shrine.
Without noticing the alarm net, Takasaka Hideaka stopped Hideaka from trying to get out of the woods after he broke into the woods located directly behind the stage that Hideako Noboru was watching.
In the words of his talent, it seems that he has finally begun to understand where he is.
Looking forward, I knew from there how the stage and the guest seats were taking hold.
Of course there is Hidekang Nobushi, who sees dancing there.
And the man who seemed to have already noticed the intrusion inside... or Shizukuzo, had a sharp gaze.
But now he doesn't even have Hidekang's figure in the center of his eyes.
Yes...
At the heart of his gaze is...
Sight as usual.
It looks like my sister Yuri.
Without even showing a smile, I stared at my sister dancing in the face with only one person, Makuchi, trying to eat in.
That hand movement. Foot carry.
Everything is loving and something he won't stop hoping to protect for the rest of his life.
- Oh... beautiful...
Even if you can see the whole stage, all you see is float up.
There was a glimmer of tears in his cheek.
The talent that felt its raw warmth on the back of his hand, which was keeping his mouth down, had already understood his inner mood at this time.
And he was even sympathetic, saying, "This man is also a wretched man driven mad by turmoil." But I did not pull out the power of the arm wrapped around his neck and the hand that suppressed his mouth.
Because there are so many things he needs to hear.
But now I want you to fulfill what this man wants.
The warmth in the back of his hand made him feel that way.
However, as the 'gear of history' is, the 'gear of life' will not stop its movement, even if it follows a brutal fate.
That was a really momentary thing...
Before which the dancers arc and Yuri finally advances to Hidekang's sight.
At that time...
Hiranuchi Takasaka's eyes opened wide.
Oh, my God, Yuri...
He turned his attention to the inner realm.
And he smiled with a smile.
That's the look of my sister that Hachi was sincerely looking for.
And I did catch Yuri's mouth moving in its eyes.
- Thanks for coming.
What the word means. You couldn't possibly have figured that out.
"Stop! Oooh!!
Knowing that talent blocked his mouth and that his voice would never reach anyone, Yanai shouted from the bottom of his belly.
A glimmer of tears becomes at that moment, and sweat erupts from all over his body.
He wields his head and limbs all smashed up and tries to get away from his talented hands somehow.
But the more he tried to stand back, the thicker his talented arms devoured his neck muscles, making his consciousness hazy.
And...
On a winter breeze, Yuri flew from the top of the stage, as a circle of flowers scattered.
The dancer's bright red kimono is vividly visible in the universe, and in its thin hands, a sharp blade that stops the opponent's breath root, reflecting and shining in the light of the sun.
All too suddenly, the reaction of everyone on the spot, not just Hidekang Nobushi, was delayed, and there was nothing to block between Hidekang and Yuri.
Time flows slowly, and Yuri, who softly descends to the ground, protrudes with a blade, looking to Hidekang, who is only two steps ahead.
One more breath and Hidekang's belly will be stabbed with deep iron, and the wound will be enough to send him from this world to the afterlife...
Yes, the people around you must be ready.
But...
"He who can't even be there" appeared between Yuri and Hidekang -
No, maybe that was already there the whole time.
He may have suddenly appeared on the spot, as if he had really come down.
You won't have to think about that now.
As a matter of fact, try to protect Hidekang, because he stands before Yuri.
Who is that person...
A boy with clear white skin.
