Early years have passed since Yichai came to this era.

If you still can't read a word like Mimizu crawled, you don't know what the Martial Family is used to.

It was not something that she could comprehend, such as the implicit common sense that "for the daughter of a public house or a martial family, 'love' is a delinquency".

That said, when I was suddenly slapped in the cheek at the encounter,

- What the fuck! This woman is annoying!

And I was outraged, and when Kuniyoshi came out of the room messing with his clothes,

- Well! How dirty!!

and hold something uninteresting.

But Kuniyoshi's first voice was astonishing, and as he listened to him, his feelings for light turned into sympathy.

………

……

This is how the story of Kuniyoshi came about.

- This is all my fault too...

If you ask me, Kuniyoshi is the second son of a public servant.

However, the eldest son of his house was blamed for being defiant of Tokugawa's world, and the house was said to have fallen.

Still, Kyo's merchant, Young Nariya, who looked at his connection to the public house, hired Kuniyoshi as a naive, and now he's promoted to modernity.

And Kuniyoshi's original residence is right on the side of Hawks' mansion...

In other words, Light and Kuniyoshi were good friends of childhood.

Seems like the same truth in no age makes our thoughts on each other clearer if we distance ourselves from each other...

After Kuniyoshi left, the light finally realized how he felt and often blocked it.

Her friendship that's been dancing in there......

-It's a monkey.

It is not hard to imagine that this was the cause of what was more disturbing her life than it was before.

When Kuniyoshi and Wen Qi heard about it, Yichi's heart was also greatly disturbed.

- You can't do that! I'll never forgive you! Why does the conversation go on at will, without even knowing how he feels!? Don't let that happen!!

But when he saw what happened to Ichiko, Kuniyoshi told him gently.

- Mr. Yichai, don't be impotent. This is all prescribed by the world, too. Master Kwong will forget about me if we become husband and wife.

- Is Kuniyoshi... is that okay with Kuniyoshi?!? You have a light thing too...!

Kuniyoshi shook his neck sideways with a smile against Ichiba, who said so.

- It's fine. I just want the light to live happily ever after.

Leaving the words behind, he left the spot.

However, even in the unacceptable era of "love," even worse still, light and national auspiciousness even have an unbridgeable difference in identity: nobility and townspeople.

No matter how much they admire each other, they are not even allowed to meet each other once a year, like Weiwei and Hiroshi.

But...

It was not satisfactory to Yichai in the end.

No! There was no way to convince me!

Because...

She is also living this age to the best of her ability, thinking strongly about childhood taming!!

So Yichai decided.

Even if it's unproductive love, you can't let the light daughter-in-law you without even deciding whether to bloom or scatter.

But...

People around her can't possibly even notice, such as her stiff resolve.

Not to mention to the 'Young Narrower' husband away from the mansion...

………

……

Celebrating 12 Years (1607) June 2 -

That was the day after Yichai began his service to the light.

Kuniyoshi was called by the husband of "Young Narrower" in the morning, so he sat alone in the room where he was told to wait.

Even though I was promoted to an understudy, I'm still running out.

I rarely talk to my husband in person, even if I meet him face to face.

He was in the face of tension and kept waiting for his husband to come into the room.

And after a while, when the tongue was opened, a soft voice was called to him.

"Hey, you're here a lot. Looking good, above all."

Young Narrower's husband just left thirty at this time.

However, as you can see from the success of the business in a generation and the setting up of a store in the middle of Kyoto, it is a considerable player.

Such a husband, but a step away from business, he was a warm good young man everywhere.

This day remains the same, narrowing his thin eyes even further, and turning his gentle smile to Kuniyoshi.

Kuniyoshi slowly raised his face and answered.

"Thank you. Thanks to you, we are not at liberty on this street."

"Well, that's good. By the way, Kuniyoshi. I need one favor from you."

"Yes, please tell me what I can do"

"No, no, it's not so awe-inspiring. I want some mansion to stay out of here for a while."

"A Mansion......"

At that point, it was clear to Kuniyoshi which mansion he was referring to.

Because there are only a limited number of places where he comes and goes frequently.

That, of course...

This is Eagle's mansion.

It was about the light that floated all the way behind Kuniyoshi's brain just when he heard the name Eagles.

Of course he doesn't let that happen or anything, and he bows his head in a slightly sinking tone.

Then the husband of the young narrow house continued in a tone of teachings.

"As you know, now the Eagles are going through an important period at the wedding of Lord Kwong.

But wouldn't you say that there are not very good rumors in that Hall of Light?

One of them was flashy man play, and I overheard one of their opponents include you.

So, I want you to keep your distance from the Eagles themselves for a while.

If it's bad, if it's a burn, it's not just you or me. "

My husband never has the tone to blame Kuniyoshi.

Kuniyoshi's breasts were filled with the fact that he could even feel the desire to help Kuniyoshi out of trouble.

"Sorry...... rust coming out of me has caused my husband inconvenience"

"It's okay. And I don't think it's annoying.

But when men and women burn more than they need to, jumping to various places is like a statute that hasn't changed since long before we were born.

You know you have to do something about it before it happens. "

"Yes, you're right"

My husband is smiling and nodding at the familiar state of Kuniyoshi.

And this is the last thing he said to Kuniyoshi.

"But I know Lord Kwong is making deliveries on your behalf.

Right there.

I decided to ask you to leave for Edo's "Young Narrower" shop for a while.

Then it would make sense to reject the famous name from the Lord of Light. "

Kuniyoshi also looked round at her husband for the words.

"Edo... are you...?

"Oh, from now on, business in Edo will be the focus.

As a pioneer, I want you to stand in the store.

As the Warden. "

"Chief......"

The term "head" here means that he was promoted as the store owner of Edo's branch of "Young Narrower" when he said that he was in second place after "master (husband)" in the merchant and that he would be entrusted with the head in Edo.

In other words, it was a story of birth.

Kuniyoshi couldn't believe it and had lost his word.

Towards him, my husband kept talking about his treatment so that it would flow further.

"In order to become a superior, the name shall also be 'State Aid'.

Then while you're single, let's lack the character of "Young Narrower" as the head.

I've arranged for you to have your daughter-in-law from Matsusaka's Echikaya.

Besides, Edo has a mansion.

Everything's going to be a new life, but I don't think there's anything wrong with you. "

A new life in Edo......

Have a wife and a mansion...

My husband's words are somewhere out of existence, like it's not all his own business, not something that honestly falls into his belly.

Still, in the words of his next husband, he had to swallow that it was real.

"The departure to Edo shall be in three days' time. Until then, I'll give you time to clean up around me."

When he can say that, Kuniyoshi leaves the room with his head down again and again.

Then it was his husband's wife who came into the room to replace him.

"Are you okay, Kuniyoshi? Doesn't that make you struggle to sort your mind out?

My husband answered my wife's question with a calm expression.

"Yeah...... maybe so. So I gave you three days."

"It'll only take three days to clear up, right?

"Come on... let's just say that the rest depends on how Kuniyoshi feels...

I know how to handle a lot of commercial 'things', but when it comes to sex, it's a tease... "

"Well, I don't even know how you feel about letting that kid do something bigger.

And then it depends on that kid... you may indeed be right... "

The couple sighs loudly and stares at Kuniyoshi as he leaves.

That gaze was as loving and prayerful and warm as sending to my child -

………

……

- Three days later, to Edo...

After his arrival, Kuniyoshi walked without even going to the city of Tokubo and Kyo.

I have no idea what to clean up from, even though all sorts of things have become a burden in my head.

And it took up his heart like that...

It was about the light...

- What would she look like if she heard that I would take my wife and live in Edo...

I'm sure you'll take a nasty attitude and throw your thing away.

But I'm sure that's not true...

Because she...

No, myself too...

It was when I was patrolling like that.

"If that's who you are. Can't you tell me the way?

And, suddenly, a voice was called from behind.

When Kuniyoshi looks back at that familiar voice...

I was standing there alone in the midst of a woman I met yesterday...

It was tea.
