On the eve of November 15th, the twelfth year of celebration (1607) -

"It's abominable, but there's no one I can count on more than you."

The starch had a bitter look and must have raised his face.

At the end of that gaze...

Toyono Omijin -

It's about Hideyoshi Toyotomi, who became a god.

The location is the main hall of the Toyoku Shrine in Kyo.

Before that she knelt down and bowed her head deeply.

"Please... please help Hideyoshi!

Tears overflow from the moment I finish saying it.

But instead of wiping it down, she continued to pray for the recovery of excellence after thanking her over and over again.

... and it was Chihime and Itcha who showed up there.

And sometime a serious faceted princess pleaded with the starch with a determined voice.

"Mother, let the thousand pray!

I've already shed my tears.

It doesn't change how much I cried.

Then let's do the best we can right now.

For the beloved...

That was the determination of a thousand princesses.

When the temple nodded small to the words of the thousand princesses, the three of us began to pray side by side.

And it was carried on until dawn.

◇ ◇

It's been three days since I, Hideyoshi Toyotomi, fell from a high fever.

I'm being put to sleep in a quarantine room in a medical building in a school in Kyo.

"Ahhh... it hurts..."

Your voice leaks as you wake up.

I open my eyes, but I'm alone in the big room.

There are no small names, no samurai, no one.

"So, someone... help me..."

Nature and tears convey cheeks.

But I can't even wake up.

Because if you want to move your body a little, then severe pain runs all over your body.

Still raised one hand slowly.

The hand that grabbed the void was trembling and the white bubble from the blister was covering the back of his hand.

"I... am I going to die like this..."

Hazy consciousness. Leave yourself in a coma like this, and if you skip consciousness, you may be free from severe pain. But I was too scared to do it.

Because if you do, you may never wake up again.

But contrary to my will, I was once again invited to a world stained with white.

◇ ◇

Celebration Year 12 (1607) November 16th College, Dean's Office -

"Whoa! Sakichi!! How is Hideyoshi doing?!?

Kiyoshi Kato opened the door roughly, while at the same time echoing the anger across the room. He dyes his rugged face bright red, like a red ghost. And the gaze was directed solely at Souyoshi Ishida, who sits in the center of the room.

Sou-yong on the other hand puts his hands together with his mouth, with a cool look as usual, staring at Purity.

When he comes to the sight of Zong Yong with his big stock,

- Bang!!

And I made a loud noise and slapped my desk with both hands.

"Say something!! How can you have such a cold face!! Hey! Saji!!

"Lord Kiyoshi! Please calm down a little!

Masada Yukimura teaches with her hands on her shoulders against an exasperated purity.

But Qing Zheng paid his hand and spurned.

"When Master Hideyoshi is suffering, what are you going to do with him remaining consolidated in this place?! Can you still stick your chest up with loyalists!!

A pure roar that shook the room with fright. He was snorting roughly and staring at Soo-yong.

But Zongying doesn't change one complexion with his hands together. And he turned his attention to all the Akashi boards in the corner of the room. Then all the boards told him in a pale tone.

"... Hideyoshi's disease is blistering. We are isolated by Hideyoshi's will to prevent it from spreading."

"What the hell is that!? That's why..."

It was the moment when Purity was about to say so.

"Tiger Suke!! Listen to me till the end. Yikes!!

And a drink with the shock of the floor falling out came out of Soo-yong's mouth.

Purity swallowed the words that went out and rounded his eyes.

Soo-yong leaves his hands together as usual, and turns only his eyes to blur and purify.

Seeing the flames that dwell behind its eyes, Purity took two steps backwards.

It's like a hell of a fire.

Yes... Soo-yong wept again.

And all I had left in my eyes were burning thoughtless emotions.

Purity instantly remembered it. Then the frustration that was burning in him subsided, and instead a great deal of tears poured down.

When Zong Yong confirmed that the sentiment of purity had subsided, he turned his gaze again to all the people on board.

That was the signal that all boards continued.

"It will be four days since the onset of the disease, so I know that once the high fever subsides."

"Well, I guess I'll have to ask then."

The face of purity turned red again to the words of Sara and Sou-yeong.

"Zogi!! No way..."

Soo-yong told him in a flat tone when he turned his attention to purity again.

"Succession of Master Hideyoshi… i.e. you must decide who will succeed the Toyotomi family"

- Gathali!!

"Oh, my God!

When Qing Zheng jumped out into a straight line, he grabbed Soyong's chest barn.

And I could draw his face all the way to my own and yell.

"It's like Hideyoshi is going to die!! I will never forgive you!!

"Purity Hall!! Stop..." "It's OK, Yuanjiro!!

Soo-yong takes control by word of where Yukimura tried to stop him.

And said calmly, but with a faintly trembling voice.

"I won't let any of you crush Toyotomi. No matter what happens to Hideyoshi."

The hand of purity slightly loosens to the caged words of Soo-yong's fighting spirit.

Then Zongying raised a blue muscle on his forehead and growled.

"Is it your loyalty to hold your hand and see Hideyoshi weaken?!? Answer me! Tiger Nosuke!!

"But hey... Saji... I am..."

dropped his knee and a nagging purity.

Sou Yong also crouched on the spot again and peered into the face of purity, which was shaken with tears.

"Tiger Nosuke, Hideyoshi is now fighting to beat the demon. Isn't that something else to fulfill His Highness's dreams? Isn't it to create a world of Tahei under heaven where everyone can smile? Then isn't it our job to try not to let that dream go?

Purity can no longer lose words and just snort.

Soo-yong also continued with tears in his eyes that should have withered again.

"You can go to the front of the room where Hideyoshi is lying. Tiger Nosuke, I want you to follow me."

"Georgie..."

"Because Hideyoshi will be so pleased when you have the Lord..."

- Wow!

At last Purity started crying out loud.

A cry of purity that reflects upright emotions as if they were innocent toddlers (little ones).

It invited tears from everyone on the spot.

………

……

When Kiyoshi Kato, who had finished crying, left while allowing Akashi Nobunaga and Yoshiji Otani to hold him, there were only two people in the room, Souyoshi Ishida and Yukimura Maida.

And Yukimura also turned her back on Soo-yong to leave the room to move to Hideyoshi's hospital room.

But...

"Genjiro, wait a minute"

And, Souyong has spoken to Happy Village.

The tone is so low that Yukimura has never heard it before, it's cold enough to freeze her spine.

Happy Village swallowed the sawdust and then turned his usual serene face to Soyo behind him.

... and it was that moment.

- Zowari!!

Happy Village shook her body in a chill that she had never felt before.

"Yes, Lord Ishida..."

Happy Village can't see Soo-yong's face properly in too much fear.

Not so long ago, the notion of 'hatred' emanated from the whole body of Zong Ying was unusual.

And Soo-yong spoke to Happy Village with a voice that froze the hearts of those who listened.

"Wind Demon Kotaro, do you remember hearing the name?

Kotaro the Wind Demon... his name has certainly been heard from the mouth of Misty Hidden Talents under his command.

And this episode of excellence and the disease of Hidekang Nojo earlier. These two are likely to have come from Kotaro. At the same time, he heard suspicions that Kotaro was connected to Honda Genuine.

But I say that there is no certainty of any suspicion.

So Yukimura was planning to consult Hideyoshi when he recovered from the disease.

But now Soo-yong has begged me about Kotaro, the wind demon, in the spirit of hatred.

Yukimura, who thought there was no reason to speak lightly more than not knowing what the hell he was grasping, replied to make fun of him.

"Sounds familiar somewhere, doesn't seem..."

Soo-yong glanced at him like that.

Yukimura is going to be overwhelmed by the intimidation of a serpent trying to swallow his prey into a bite. However, it would have been a gift of rigorous training by my father Chang Xiao from an early age that I could smile and show my spare time.

Then Zongying also had another faint grin on his mouth.

"Phew, okay. Whatever the Lord is hiding, it doesn't change my resolve."

"Ha...? What the hell does Lord Ishida intend to do?

Fukumura inquires only trivially.

But at this time he had already noticed.

- Lord Ishida intends to harm Genuine Honda...!

That.

But purely guilty in circumstances where there is no certainty, Soo-yong's position could, on the contrary, be jeopardized. For that reason, I was willing to stop him even if I stabbed him wrong.

But Soo-yong's thoughts went far beyond Yukimura's imagination...

"I decided to return to Osaka Castle."

"Nah... what...?

Yukimura stares at Soyo with a slight blue face.

But from his face I made a very joke and saw no intention to surprise Happy Village.

And he continued.

"Even if this time it is due to the shallow wisdom of Honta, what is pulling the thread behind it is that being that old raccoon is more obvious than seeing fire. Then Tokugawa no longer saw Toyotomi as an 'enemy'. We can no longer go back. Then we have to move on. If you go through Kyo's college when you're in jail, you won't be able to talk."

"But... can you do that..."

In contrast to Yukimura, Sou-yong put his hands on his shoulders and put his strength into his eyes.

"Yuanjiro! We have the Lord's help! Please! Please, listen to this wish!

"Lord Ishida... what the hell are you thinking...?

At the end of the day, Soo-yong told him to lower his voice even more.

"Escape from Kyo. If Tokugawa wants to stand in the way..."

"If you want to..."

"I suppress you by force!

That's not even supposed to be documented in the historical reality of "Soyo Ishida Escape Battle".

It meant the beginning of a war between the Toyotomi and Tokugawa families along the Yodo River.

◇ ◇

When Chihime and Souyoshi Ishida consolidated their respective determination, Princess Kofi was also kneeling down in front of a woman and bowing her head deeply, one more determination away from Kyo on her chest.

It was the first time for her to kneel before anyone else, who had lived with dignity no matter what.

"Please save Lord Hideyoshi's life."

She had a feverish voice sometime.

Then the other woman asked in a soft tone.

"Why to me?

Princess Kofi looks up at her. And after swallowing one breath, he answered in the same tone.

"With all due respect, I knew there was an 'asthma' on your neck. That is, a sign that you have had blisters in the past. Because I thought it would be fine to see Hideyoshi at her side if so. Besides, your knowledge, and the many medicines you have, must make Hideyoshi's illness better."

It has been known since this time that blisters infect others, but at the same time, it was also known that 'those who are infected once are rarely infected again'.

As an indication of this, when the Shogun recruited Tokugawa Jiaguang's nanny, there was supposedly a "person who had suffered from blisters".

Princess Kofi was only face-to-face with the woman in front of her once. And she remembered that there were scab marks that she could do when she overcame the blisters, called her "spleen."

Princess Kofi bowing her head again.

The woman made Princess Kofi raise her face, "Please don't bow your head to me."

And now she knelt down, and bowed her head deeply.

"Once upon a time, I had a favor from Hideyoshi. Now it's my turn to help. Please take me to Hideyoshi. It's on this street."

Tears spill out of Princess Kofi's eyes by accident.

She stood a woman up and said, trying to wipe it.

"Nice to meet you. Lord Bruises."

and.

Yes...

Her name is' Bruises'.

Using numerous herbs and saving the lives of many villagers, she consolidated her determination to ascend to Kyo in order to return the favor she had received from Hideyoshi Toyotomi.

"Hideyoshi! Wait for me! Because the bruises are going now!
