Celebration 11 (1606) December 22 -

Around that time when the sun still can't rise winter sunny weather...

In Osaka Castle's own room, I, Hideyoshi Toyotomi, were trying to get lazy on a fuzzy bed first in order to enjoy the "winter break".

But...

"Grunt!! I'm free!! Too much time!!

That's less than a quarter of an hour after I lay in bed.

Though I'd like to close my eyes, there's no sign of any loosening at all. On the contrary, while it can be more and more head long, something like a horse crawls out into your chest like a dong dong and treading on the estate...

Yes... I feel like I've had a body that I can't stand in my spare time.

The vitality that springs up from within the excess body pulls me away from the bed against my will.

Even though reason thirsted for laziness, at some point I left my room and was on my feet for a point in the castle.

………

……

"Both Lord Naruku Horiuchi and Lord Jitoshi Ono have recently flown around to repair temples in Horiuchi, along with Mr. Sam Horiuchi.

Besides, Shigesei Kimura, along with Shigemitsu Ono, has worked hard to create a city...

We're not going back to the castle until the beginning of the year. "

The person who answered with such a troubled face was Kirikitori and Yuan. He still looks pale, probably because he has all sorts of hard feelings in him.

But I couldn't afford to worry about him like that because when I asked him about the whereabouts of three people, Naku Horiuchi, Gideo Ono and Reisei Kimura, the answer was a terrible disappointment.

"Well... unfortunately..."

I dropped my shoulder and said that.

I felt the original confused gaze that I had done something wrong with my condition, but there was nothing to fix against him, and I waved at him, "I don't want to hear any more," and left the scene behind.

Why was I dropping my shoulder so far?

That's because at this time I was already trying to get rid of my ambition to "stay lazy" and take a step toward another "dream" achievement. But the first step was also to dress up as a mess from the nose.

Most importantly, it's not a 'dream' or a big one or anything. It's simply an over-normal desire that anyone who's an old boy would have: "Let's roll out to the city with friends". But what could be called "everyday" in that way has probably become out of my reach these days, given the circumstances in which this person is placed.

But now it's winter break!

- Until sundown with your friends, you get muddy and play!!

This was one of the "dreams" that I wanted to fulfill in the last five days.

But...

Sometimes, my friends at heart are immersed in the work I ordered them to do and say they don't have time...!

You deserve it, karma...

A bunch of relentless words are breaking my defenseless heart.

But there's nothing I can do to make it creepy forever!

Haven't you ever lived positive, no matter what your predicament is!

With such a magnificent half-life retrospective, I switched my head to the next 'dream' when I excited myself.

………

……

"Oh? Aren't you Hideyoshi!? How did it go?!?

And it was the daughter of Takanagi, who said so with her eyes round. I can't help but be surprised at her. Because it's unlikely that Hideyoshi Toyotomi will show his face in the back in the middle of the day like this here these days.

It should be noted that, having lived a new life in her belly, she is now responsible for welcoming those who leave the position of a thousand princess samurai and enter and leave the back. It's a "receptionist" kind of role, but I've never seen her in that role before today.

I mean, I haven't even had a face in the back in months.

That's what I've been sneaking around for, so there's no way she'd be surprised.

I asked her in horror, feeling the evil of one thing at a time.

"No... I don't have any business, especially this..."

Her eyes lit up at me like that. And I got a nasty eye and asked.

"Could it be that you came to see Chihime?

On that question, my spine stretched unexpectedly when my chest made a "dokin" noise.

Yes... exactly as she pointed out, I'm here to see Chihime.

These days, I haven't spent any other time with her, although I face to face after the morning audition and in the evening.

That's why I was thinking about spending a day or so without water with her and the couple this winter break.

The original plan was to do it later in the winter break, but now that I'm free, it's not a rush to bring that forward.

But...

"I'm very sorry to say this, but Princess Chihiko won't be in the castle during the day."

"Huh... what...!?

Me with a face like a pigeon ate a bean cannon against her who told her as if it was obvious.

She kept chasing after me like that.

"Hey, what can I say to Hideyoshi about this, but these days, Chihiko has been blurry all day, like she's already lost her mind.

Ah! But don't worry! It doesn't mean there's anything particularly wrong with it! It's just what you like. Being blurred...

That's what I said! "Chihime! If you keep being blurred, Hideyoshi will capture your affection! You have to hone your appetite as a stomach! 'And.

Well, they looked sinister at first. Still, I said it while I was rubbing my stomach.

'If you hone your charm as a stomach, one day you'll even give it to a thousand princesses...'.

Then Chihime made her nose so rough that she said, 'I brush my stomach a thousand times! It was meant to be, and from that day on, I could go out with every kind of archery. "

Anyway, we have a long story to talk about, but to sum it up, "I hear Thousand Princesses give out their sperm every day for every archeology".

I mean, he doesn't seem to be in the castle this day either.

"Let's go and see how that lesson goes. Where are you now?

But his daughter, who was inscribed on the question, looked bitter and waved.

"That won't happen!

"Why not?

"Because what you're learning now is cooking. Do you want Hideyoshi to be happy that you can make anything delicious? That's what I said, too.

"I grabbed Komura-sama's stomach and it carried well."

Ah! But please don't talk about this!

To Hideyoshi: 'Never tell!' Cause they're so tight. "

What a woman... this woman seems to have a very different concept of the word "secret" than a person.

I slowly followed the scene and tried to get to the next person.

But...

"Ah! By the way, Yoshi is with Chihime! You said you had to grab the stomach for everything, but who are you going to grab the stomach for?

"Oh my... even my mother..."

Even the person you're looking for isn't in the castle...

This would have completely taken me up on the reef the way I spent my winter break.

When I remembered the glare, after the scene, I didn't have to go, but began to wander around the castle.

………

……

Loneliness

It was natural for me to always have someone's face around me. Is that why? As soon as whoever now deals with me is gone as one, that gratitude will smudge on me.

In every day immersed in government, one by one, the distance from the surroundings widens, and if we try to spare ourselves time like this, we finally realize that one person is left behind at some point.

It is, of course, well known that as the abundant head of the Oblique Yang, we must prepare ourselves steadily for the time when we should come without waving our sides. But is that really all you need...

- I want to make everyone smile!

If you include yourself in it, will it be branded as corrupt...

I was out of the castle at some point when I walked away with a bump and a grunt about that.

Earlier on, I felt cheerful that reminded me of spring, but now that cold wind makes me shrink.

I was walking a little early and wandering around without even going.

It was then...

"Mmmm!? What's that?

That's just where the big gate hits the back. I was ashamed to visit for the first time, but there is something sad drifting from that little building that lies secluded.

I felt something similar to my situation and went into it so that I could suck it in.

………

……

"Oh my God!! I didn't know you would look like a place like Rightfu himself...!

I'm so sorry I couldn't provide you with any hospitality!

It seems to me that the person who is overseeing this building is the one who has been calling out loudly. The age seems to hang on to the old age, but I can see his usual workouts from that shitty physique.

But there was some sort of white cloth wrapped around his arm like that, and when I saw it, I asked with my eyes round.

"It's okay. Fine. Keep your face up.

By the way, how'd you like that arm? You hurt yourself, too?

Then he lifted up his face, and denied it, along with his exuberant laughter.

"Ha ha! Master Rightfu! That's not true! That doesn't hurt anywhere!

"Mmmm!? So, what's the big deal wrapped around that arm?

"Oh, is this it? This is for them."

"Oh, my God?"

There's no way I could have frowned on that answer. Looking around with Kyolo Kyolo, there is no one but him. So who the hell are you referring to as "flirting"?

Then he said, "Come on!" And suddenly he raised his voice loudly.

The next moment...

- Bastard!!

And when I thought I heard something winging powerfully, I stepped down on a cloth wrapped around a man's arm, devouring his sharp nails.

It's...

"Is it an eagle!?

He nodded cocklessly, smiling at me.

………

……

This building, he said, is where he keeps eagles, his name is Nakamura. Nakamura is an eagle mason, and they're taking care of a few eagles kept here.

"Dear Right Fu, Why don't you put the eagle on your arm?

"What!? Is that good!?

"Yeah, of course you are. He used to be his favorite eagle."

"My father..."

Nakamura, who once stopped the eagle close to me, wrapped the white cloth he had wrapped around my left arm. Again, I couldn't hide my surprise at the unexpected, shifty weight.

Nakamura, who was smiling at me like that, now moves the eagle connected to the thin outline from the branch of the tree that had stopped him. And he manipulated the eagle easily, stopping the eagle straight into my arms.

"Whoa!"

When an unexpected word of amazement leaks, a serene voice is uttered from the mouth of Nakamura.

"Dear Right Fu, If you are shouted at the side of the eagle, the eagle will be surprised"

"Ooh. Was that so? Sorry, sorry."

"No, but today this kid seems to be happy somewhere too. I haven't been able to fit into the arms of my husband in a long time."

The words of Nakamura make me happy.

"Well... you mean it was originally connected to your father..."

Nakamura continued with a hint of loneliness in her eyes when I said the damp words too.

"You're right. Since the death of His Royal Highness Tai, he has almost gone out of the castle."

"Was it..."

I stare at the side of the eagle once again.

Of course I have no idea what the eagle is thinking. But from that sharp glance, I still don't feel like I'm full of joy that fits where I should.

That's when one example word came up behind my brain.

- I want to make everyone smile!

Will that not include this eagle...

The answer to that...

- No!! I want to see this eagle smile too!

When I derived that, one thought ran like a flash.

"Ok! I've made up my mind! I've made up my mind!

If you don't think so and scream again, the eagle jumps from me to the nearby stop tree in surprise. And when I stripped the cloth wrapped around my arm and deposited it in Nakamura, I ran back down the original path.

Of course, at this time, there is no reason for me to know the words Nakamura leaked while opening his mouth to Pokan.

"No way, 'hawk hunting', I hope it doesn't... if that happens, Osaka Castle will be in big trouble..."

that...

………

……

"Whoa! I wanted to be there! And Yuan!! I need to ask you something!

Back in the castle, when I found Kirikitori, a variety of coordinators, I spoke with joy.

And I wondered if the original had already had a hunch about something at this time, and he asked me, with a giddy thing on his face.

"Dear Hideyoshi!? What the hell is it!?

And I proclaimed it in a playful voice.

"I'm gonna do a hawk hunt!! Let me do that!

The moment I heard about it, my original complexion changed blue...

"Hi, Hideyoshi... by the way, when...?

"The truth is, today, I just want to say, your Lord is busy with a lot of things too.

Finally, tomorrow!! I'll do it tomorrow!

Ha ha! Looking forward to it!!

Finally, it looks like the winter break is happening!

Such a positive feeling lightened my mind and so did my legs back to the room naturally.

Of course I never notice...

that one Kiryu, who had lost his word so much, had become gray as if he had burned out, and stood up to...
