"Ta-da!!

I, Hideyoshi Toyotomi, am fiercely surprised right now.

No way......

I can't believe the names of the times before me are screaming...

And that call I've heard so many times.

And that habit of messing with my hair...

Definitely......!

The woman named Yichai...

My childhood friend, Asako Yagi!!

- Gabba!!

Try to fall off your knees, Ichicha, no Asako...... yeah, either way!

Drop your hips in front of her anyway.

And I stared closely at her face.

So I'll lay Asako's face on top of that of Ichiko, who's in front of me now.

You both have a pretty face, whatever I say.

But there is no overlapping face.

Except one place...

That's...

The color of the back of my eyes...

Kind, warm...

It's like a spring sun.

"Asako... is it...?

A small voice leaked as I accidentally breathed into her face.

It was then...

"Ta-da!!

- Gassi!!

And Asako hugged me.

And she started crying out loud.

"Wow!

I wouldn't have been forced to eat it.

Because even in the days before, there was never a time when Mariko hugged me.

Besides, he was always like a mother who would take care of me...

Such a girlfriend is now jumping into my chest and weeping hot as a baby.

At a time like this, I've never learned what to do, I've never even imagined it.

I was confused by her overflowing emotions.

To be honest, even I want to cry.

Because in my sight, there are still some Maida Yukimura, and others, such as Orchids and Aoyagi, are "outsiders"...

Still, it's in my stormy emotions, and only one, only one thought, is desperately trying to stretch its roots.

I cling to the thought.

And...

I uttered words with my heart.

Even myself in a surprisingly gentle tone.

"It's okay, 'cause it's okay"

Gently squeeze her back.

That little back trembling in small pieces.

Even from such a back, it makes me feel that she has desperately survived this era.

I don't know since when she was in this era.

But even if it was just one day, how anxious have you been?

And still, there must have been something that kept poking and moving her.

That's probably...

- I want to see you!

Wasn't it just for the record...

Seeing the heat I felt from her and the tears I showed for the first time, it was obvious to me, however dull.

When I remember a gentle pain in the back of my nose, it creates moisture in my eyelids.

I shifted my gaze towards Happy Village in an attempt to mislead my emotions.

But the lucky village, so that it cannot move, the orchid from its back, and the blue willow clinging to its feet?

against Yukimura, who is desperately trying to wield them, while the orchid comes from the back

"Master Yuanjiro doesn't have" Dairi "to interrupt here."

And he was speaking up.

You said Delicacy, now.

What if...

Do they know who Yichai is...

When it seemed that way, I felt like I could take something that was caught in me all the time.

Then my chest, which was rough as a storm and nature, cleared up.

Leave one thought unchanged...

"Because I'm on your side. It's all right now."

And...

………

……

Icha, the lead samurai of Lord Ozo, was Asako Yagi, a childhood familiarity of my former era, Taiichi Kondo.

It was just astonishing that she finally finished crying and said something pompous.

"Oh my God... 'Mysterious Hood Woman' even appeared before Yi Cha..."

And to bring me back to the old days, she came to this era.

And years ago...

"But this is what the girl said.

"Make sure you make everyone smile! Please! If everyone involved with Hideyoshi smiles, use that stone. '

and… "

"Stone?"

When I asked strangely, Yichai took a pendant-like little stone from his neck and showed it to him.

"This is The Stone Beyond Time."

"Beyond time..."

"If we wish for this stone, we can go back to our original times."

I saw the stone and swallowed the sauce.

If I wish for this stone, will I go back to my old days...

Put all the people here in Osaka Castle...

Of course there's no way back to the old days, or if you say you didn't explore it, let's lie.

Still, I'm not thinking about going back to the old days.

Because already in my body, "Responsibility as a Toyotomi Principal" stretches its roots.

And I know.

In less than ten years, Osaka Castle will become ash...

The Temple and Yukimura, many of my family and friends left the world carelessly...

I can't possibly go back in time in this situation.

But what happens to me in case the little stone in front of me now activates that power, regardless of my will...

"Shut up...... its stone"

I accidentally asked Yichai to do so in a low voice.

Changing from the gentle tone he had had so far, to that tone he even felt cold, Yichai rounded his eyes, but soon he followed my words and put the stone in his chest looking important.

I told him in a strong tone when I saw it.

"I can't let you use that stone power right now."

"Ta-chan..."

"If... if you want to go back to your old days, I'm sorry, but go back alone.

I have a responsibility to fulfill in this day and age. "

I...

My dreams...

Making all people smile...

That's all I can never give in.

The people who serve in Osaka Castle, the ministers who protect the Toyotomi family, the inhabitants of Osaka...

And Chihime...

It is no longer the mission entrusted to me to protect their smiles.

Whatever the reason, I'm not bending that will.

When nature and the flames of passion linger in your eyes, you can see that your cheeks become red even on your own.

Still, I didn't have to worry about my appearance, and I kept staring at Yichai, who was circling my eyes.

Then...

All of a sudden, Icha's strong expression turned into a smile.

And she said in a gentle tone.

"Ha-ha-ha, you've changed."

Now it was my turn to round my eyes to that word.

Looking at me like that, blushing just a little, she continued in the same soft shape.

"Old man, I didn't always mean to dazzle you. Without goals or dreams."

"Wait a minute! I'm doing that now..."

I panicked to see the complexion of Happy Village, Orchid, and Aoyagi around me.

Happy Village and Aoyagi are tightening their faces but they seem to be laughing somewhere, and Nitanita and her nasty smile on the orchid.

I tried to block her from talking to Yichai any more, and from talking about something.

It was then.

She told me in a heartfelt voice.

"But now you're cool"

"Heh...?

The moment I heard her words, an electric shock ran all over my body.

Then the whole body became hot, and he was unable to move.

Perhaps from the sight of me now, it must look like a figurine solidified.

And...

That's what she did to me.

- Chuh...

How dare she lay her soft lips on my lips?

That's so sweet, warm mouth.

No matter how overlapping the words, all her thoughts were stuck in the moment.

- I've always missed you...

It was really a moment, but it was long enough for me to feel it forever.

I don't know what to do with the flutter and the feeling of floating in the universe.

So I was just staring at her bright red face in front of me.

She's staring at me with shame again, too.

As if time had stopped, we stared at each other for a while.

It is painful to fill my chest so full that it is about to explode.

I wonder why...

I wonder if the emotions I have never had with her will overflow as if I had cut a weir.

My breasts are filled with waves of emotion that I can't do anything about right now.

But I had my doubts at this time.

That the emotion was just subdued.

I mean, the truth is...

Haven't we been holding each other for a long time...

I...

Since I was a little girl...

You know, about her...

As she strolled through her thoughts that way, Yichai said only a little more toned up, as if she had decided to do something.

"You just have to work hard here until you feel better. I want to be on your side like that!

"But... it's..."

She and I have difficult identities to fill in this era.

If we leave this place now, she won't even be able to say hello to me again from that moment on.

I can't believe you're on my side in that situation...

But when she smiled at Nicole, she said something that would blow my mind.

"If the engagement of Master Kwong and Master Hideyoshi is discarded, let Ichiba be the side room. Yes, Mr. Yodo is right."

"Hey, what!?

Me and Happy Village look at each other unexpectedly.

But before we could say anything, Yichai bowed her head to me deeply.

"Dear Hideyoshi, thank you for coming."

"No... wait a minute! Such an important...!

At that moment when I tried to reason by accident,

- Gassi!!

and Yichai hugged me.

And he whispered upward.

"You've always been adorable! Dear Hideyoshi!"

I lost my word with that dazzling smile that I was about to suck into.
