"Dear Zong Yong... Was this OK?"

A woman's voice was heard blurring from behind Zongyong, who was alone in the dean's office at the college.

It was his first bud, a ninja of use.

He answered her question without looking back.

"Yeah, if it's a tall mountain, just roll a small stone, and it's what creates a big avalanche"

"Hehe, then it seems that Ishida has admitted that the mountain called Tokugawa is very high."

Her face, leaking sarcasm as she smiles, rises to the point where she finds it beautiful, even in the shadows.

But Zong Yong said in a tone of tone, without making his gaze slight.

"Tokugawa is huge. You won't be surprised if the world of Tokugawa continues for a thousand years to come."

She lost her word of surprise that Soo-yong recognized the strength of the enemy in "honesty".

Soo-yong continued towards her like that.

"That's why it's worth the collapse. First of all, Genuine Honta... let me scrape him off Tokugawa Mountain."

"But didn't you just leak it to Chief Okubo?

"That's fine. Look at that. Soon the avalanche will rise."

When Soo-yong answered quietly, the shadow of the first bud had already disappeared from the room.

◇ ◇

And the 'avalanche' began quietly, as Souyoshi Ishida predicted.

With the likeness of "The One Who Was Manipulating the Assassin From the Shadows," Chef Okubo took his feet to his most trusted Okubo neighbor.

At the same time, he breathed 'rumours' into many of the women who worked for him, spreading them in Kyoto and Sakami.

What are the rumors...

- Hideyoshi Toyotomi and Sir Echimae were sickened by the same werewolf.

That was the thing.

At the moment, it did not stink of the existence of "Honta Genuine" because it feared that it would be brought down by the officials of the shogun, who had taken a genuine breath.

And as he thought, the rumor spread instantly among the townsfolk of Kinai, the lover of rumors.

It was as if fire were spreading in the dry meadows.

It also reached Katsushi Itakura, who naturally controls Kyou, and Genuine Honda, who continues to administer government based in Fushimi.

And one day, Honta-jin was summoned from Katsushi Itakura.

"Example rumors...... have they reached Lord Hondo's ear as well?

Winning Heavy asked, trying to peek into his genuine face.

Of course, purity answered with a faceless expression.

"Yeah, I don't even care because of rumors without roots or leaves..."

"Right. But it's not pleasant to talk about the work of a general's hand."

"Yeah, not at all."

The expression and tone, the usual Honda purity. It hasn't changed as much as it hates little.

But if you try to win, it's something you're used to.

He went on without any discomfort.

"As a matter of fact, I was headed east to tell you that Lord Okubo Yasushi wanted to reward you."

"Well... but Lord Okubo danced to the crappy rumors of the people,"

"No, it seems that there are peasants who know the 'mastermind' of everything."

"Peasants?"

"Hmm. I was wondering if your lord knows these details better than Lord Okubo, and if you know anything, I would like you to let me know, and this is not how you got enough work done."

After the words of victory, a little silence drifts.

The genuine expression did not change an inch, and the eyes of the cleavage, reminiscent of a sharp blade, were directed solely at the face of victory.

And purity answered with a small bow of his head.

"I'm sorry. I don't see why not."

"Was it? No, it looks like you've put in some unwanted footwork. Sorry."

"No, no good rumors. Therefore, it is quite natural for Shinjukura Itakura of Kyoto-ji to go into exploration. But I'm sorry I couldn't help you."

The purity left behind was to follow the room in a flowing motion.

But...

His expression as he left the Itakura Mansion was white and cold with his ruthlessness on the table.

He shrugged with a smile on his mouth.

"Chief Okubo An... What did you grab?

And he hurried to a certain place in search of a horse.

◇ ◇

Purity flashed the moment it stood where it was intended.

It's not there...

There's supposed to be a house that's blurry...

And without the figure of a landlord, a peasant, there was no way that the fields he owned were full of weeds and cared for.

In other words, the person he was looking for had left the land.

"Stupid... where the hell are you going..."

As he quickly looked around, he found the presence of one villager.

And when he approached him quickly, he inquired in a high-pressure manner.

"Hey, where did the guy who lived there go?

"Uh... hey... he said he was going to serve in Odawara's castle for everything..."

"Odawara...... so...!?

Unexpectedly when his voice gets rough, he grabs the villager's chest barn rampantly.

The villagers said, "Hino!," he said, laying down.

And purity releases the villagers roughly as they devour their teeth.

Then the villagers left the place to flee.

"You mean Tadashi Okubo is already involved... who the hell imitates it!

His face, whining as if to throw it away, is stained red as never before.

It was the anger and haste that never showed others that boiled and colored the blood of his entire face.

... and that was then.

"Oh? Are you there, Lord Genuine Hondo?

And there was a voice from behind.

He looked back slowly as he hurried to fix his expression.

Then I was standing there...

"My Lord Okubo..."

With Nitanita and a nasty grin, he sees the purity as he licks it around.

Purity narrowed her thin eyes even further.

"What brings you to such a rural cold village, Lord Chang 'an, who is now said to be busy with Tokugawa Ichi?

"That's the dialogue over here, Lord Genuine. This is where the Wind Demon lived. That is, near Odawara. I had a favor to do with my loyal lord, but I don't think your lord has a favor for Odawara..."

"Hehe, you have to go through this land to get to the Tamagata, my father's possession."

"Well... we're a little off Tokaido..."

The reward of words that explore each other is as compelling as being slashed with swords and spears.

But they were both quietly gazing at each other without pulling a step from each other.

After a while, Chang 'an said in a gentle tone as he slowly began to walk towards the pure.

"Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going back to Sakami."

And Chang 'an must be...

"Yes, well... I'll have a call from the Grand Duke soon"

and whispered in a low voice.

Purity sees his face all the time.

Then Cheung An, who smiled with a nit, continued with a lower voice.

"In the case of the peasants who lived here and in the case of Sir Echimae and Lord Toyotomi Hideyoshi..."

Pure eyes open wide, contrary to his consciousness.

Chang 'an stared carefully at his expression before leaving him again in slow footsteps.

Genuine to stand alone.

I couldn't move for a while with their unmistakable expression.

And when he finally took another step, he squealed with flames in his hateful, purple-dyed eyes.

"Okubo... I just have to crush it"

And...
