- Oh! You're like a bead!
- Oh, my God! I don't think he's a child of the Lord, he seems resourceful!
- Hmm! I'm glad this kid's a twister like Hiko Left isn't his parent either!
- Say what, Shinjiro!
- Hey, Chang 'an! Don't stand so far away, come here!
- But... because I'm not a 'real family'...
- Young habits and don't think hard! This child is not your brother to the Lord!
- 'My brother' for me...
- Hmm! Sometimes Hiko says good things too!
- Sometimes what!?
- I mean, Chang 'an! Come here quickly and hold this girl!
The sight of the day at hand.
Tadashi Okubo (Okubo just a little) couldn't stop crying at that sight that was repeated over and over again in his dreams.
How many tears does a person have to weep to be something that stops naturally?
Do you have to flush it enough that Surugawa Bay spreading in front of you fills it...
The pity of losing two 'sons' at about the same time took away everything about him.
The meal was also thin and thin with little through her throat, and her hair, which was glowing black, grew white as snow.
Only the eyes float slightly with the shattered face, and the mouth remains half open.
No matter who speaks around you, you will not react.
Such a day lasted a month.
In the meantime, he was repeatedly offered by the General to ascend to Edo Castle, all of which he had ignored.
Moreover, the young housekeepers of the Shogun, who had been close to loyalty in their lifetime, pleaded several times, "At least let the Buddha join hands," but closed the gate firmly, he refused to join hands before the tomb of loyalty as one of them.
So deep was his pity.
In the meantime, General Hideyoshi arrived at a "feast of refinement" for his own loyalty.
It has never been more honorable for the Okubo family than just loyalty.
That was an indication of how loyal the general cared about and trusted his neighbor.
But he refused to accept the general's orders.
The old folks, who had until then been sympathetic to this, also rebelled strongly.
And Tokugawa Jiayang, the great house, could not overlook the fact that even the general's intentions had been withdrawn.
So finally, an unspoken ruling came down from Jiayang's mouth.
- The Odawara Okubo family will be destroyed. Your neighbor will turn over the castle and stay in Omi.
It was the moment of Okubo's "leg loss."
This settled everything.
Genuine Hondo continued his administration in Fushimi without change, while Masayoshi Hondo entered Edo Castle on his behalf to fill the hole next to Tadashi Okubo and assisted the general.
In other words, the power of Hondo's father and son grew ever stronger.
Thus the spark of strife throughout the Tokugawa family quenched the fire.
... But I didn't know that the real 'hell' for Honta Genuine was just the beginning...
Only one man who was pulling the thread 'behind' everything could tell.
Who is the man...
Soyo Ishida...

Celebrating the 13th (1608) May 10th Beijing Academy -
"Looks like an avalanche has broken out in a very different place from what the Lord thought."
Only the first bud's voice sounds small from the shadows.
Soo-yong answered her as usual without looking toward her.
"If you know where it happens, it doesn't pose a threat to people. People fear because they don't do what they think they do."
"Are you sure you don't want to... but then you can't tail the target?"
"Heh heh, your lord is surprised."
How long has it been for the first bud?
It was when I saw Soo-yong's innocent grin.
Soo-yong continued quietly as she accidentally fell in love with his side in the dark.
"The higher the mountain, the longer the avalanche lasts, the more powerful it becomes. Little people at the foot just wait to be swallowed."
The first bud circled his eyes to his surprise.
"No way... My lord has a continuation..."
Soo-yong gave her instructions pale with a slight grin.
"Early next month. A single trade ship arrives at Sakami. Give up the crew of that ship."
"Are you telling me there's an example on that ship?"
"Go and you'll see. And as soon as you find him, go with him to Minokana."
"Minoo Ghana... why...?
"Can't you move without a reason?
When Soo-yong's face got tough, the first bud accidentally clasped his mouth.
"No… everything as your lord says"
The first bud quietly lowered his head and left the room without a sound.
◇ ◇
Summer skies change dramatically in the evening.
I wonder when the blue sky was covered in pitch-black clouds, and soon afterwards I will be struck by severe thunderstorms. Such an experience is something that everyone remembers if they live in Japan, and not surprisingly.
Except when it comes to people and people.
If all of a sudden a thunderous godlike brave woman freaked out in front of her, then everyone would be left to fear.
I didn't know that moment of fear was about to descend on Tokugawa Jiayang, who was having a peaceful time at Sunfu Castle...
That was on June 12, the 13th year of Keio (1608).
- Dota dota dota dota dota!!
Trying to break through the silence, the fierce noise rushed through the hallway was attentive.
And when the sound stopped perfectly in front of the room where Jia Hang spent his time, the voice of the lowest surname sounded from the outside.
"My lord! Thank you!"
To his chopped voice as if he were in the battlefield, Jiayang lifted his eyebrows slightly, still relaxed and replied.
"What's all the noise? Calm down and tell me what to do."
"Ha! Then I say it! To the castle now...... Around!!
- Pisha!!
What a fierce crack open before I could finish my last name.
Jiayang shifts his gaze towards the person who opened his eyes.
Then his eyes were wide open.
"Is that a turtle!?
That was the eldest daughter of Jiayang, Princess Turtle.
And she looks like a mad King Jen, looking down on Jiayang.
"Just sit down"
"I refuse!
My voice would be trembling from emotions of uncontrollable anger.
Jiayang tried to put away her audacious emotions by staring at her with a calm gaze.
Instead of fitting in, however, she enquired with increasing tone of voice.
"Did your father know?
"What are you talking about? Anyway, calm down......" "Is it something you can calm down!!
When a glimmer of thunder strikes directly into Jia Kang's brain weather, a convincing group of samurai guiding Jia Kang around the room begins to gather.
But Jia Kang said, "I'm fine. Just me and the two turtles," he turned them away.
Obviously, I don't know what to do. I'm pretty sure there's a lot of danger in being alone with a brave woman and a parent and a child. Still, I paid people because at this point he was aware of why Princess Turtle came here.
That's...
"You mean Okubo?
Princess Turtle doesn't seem to answer the question. But there was no denying that he was right.
It should be noted that Princess Turtle cares more about her 'family' than anyone else. The affection is so harsh that it can be called excessive.
And she has a beloved daughter that doesn't hurt to put it in her eyes.
But his beloved daughter's husband, Tadashi Okubo, lost his life as a result of an 'accidental accident'. Moreover, Nagaan's execution and the conversion of loyalty and "misfortune" continued, and her daughter was returned to Minokana Castle in disillusionment.
Moreover, the loyalty of Princess Turtle's grandson was also confined at only five years of age.
In other words, the 'family' was shattered.
It must be unimaginable how much the wrath of Princess Turtle is.
Still, Jiayang preached in a calm and paying voice.
"I have only punished those who have wrongfully fattened their bellies and those who do not hear the command of the Shogun."
"That's not all!
"Oh, the loyalty thing was unlucky. I had no idea you'd meet a werewolf in a place like that. The world is still a mess. I must work harder too."
It's a glimpse of his sophistication as he distracts himself from nature.
But it didn't work for Princess Turtle at all.
"I didn't mean to clean it up with bad luck, is your father's eye a pit!
Jia Kang's eyes glow.
The glance about to wander if you're a normal person, but Princess Turtle turned her rather challenging gaze at him to embark on her.
"How can you say daughter, there is so much readiness and proof to fool a samurai?
- Bassa......!
A large amount of paper can be thrown from Princess Turtle's hands before Jiayang can finish saying it.
Jiayang looked through them so that they could be flushed and read.
- It's not a big deal anyway...
Because it bracketed the height that way.
But… his face grew blue as he looked through it.
Princess Turtle said in a ruthless tone when she saw her father change.
"I had him examine the remains of the Loyal Hall and the werewolf at the school in Kyo, and found artillery bullets from their respective bodies."
"Stupid......"
"And the fact that the inhabitants of the surrounding villages did hear artillery fire. The officials have stopped me from talking about it."
I guess Princess Turtle has read the contents of the writ many times.
It continued to emit toward Jia Hao as if to recite.
"Shortly before that, Genuine Honda asked you to buy artillery in Kyo for some reason."
"Who the hell is this..."
"Everything was independently investigated by Hiroshima Okubo."
"Why... why did Hiroshigami and your Lord do this..."
"Let it be decided because Lord Tokugawa Hideyoshi, my brother, was ordained a general!
"Oh no... Hideyoshi... why..."
Princess Turtle opened her eyes and drank.
"I wonder if you thought you could keep your mouth shut by killing your family miserably!!
They all went down to the wall, shouting loudly about their servant's health.
But Princess Turtle won't let you get away with it.
She said to the wall, "Don't!," he continued as he cast a shadow on his family well-being.
"And we're bringing some peasants here."
"A peasant?
"There was a ninja who plotted the assassination of Lord Echimae and Lord Toyotomi Hideyoshi..."
"I hear that's just a rumor. There was no such thing as a ninja from the beginning."
"See if it's a rumor with your own big ear."
Princess Turtle shouted, "Come in!" When he spoke outside the room, a small, filthy, poor man entered the room.
And when he told her to "tell me everything," he told her to wash up.
Honta-jin is in contact with Shinobi.
And that the boy was slaughtered and killed by his chaser for working the wolf to Hideyoshi Toyotomi.
Jiayang sweated all over his body and no longer heard what he was saying.
- If this man's presence were known to the world, it could rock Tokugawa.
That's all we have to prevent.
But would a tortoise princess, insane by the anger that crushed her beloved family, ever forgive herself?
Jia Kang patrolled diligently, but couldn't have come to a conclusion.
Princess Turtle then threw a decisive word at the peasant man after he had left him.
"How far did your father know?
"Yes, no... I..."
Wasn't he instructed to destroy Lord Echimae, Lord Hideyoshi, and Lord Tadashi in secret? If that's the case, Wataru has to kill your father here. Because it is against the soul of the Three Rivers to forgive the men who left their families behind and ran only to their own advantage, saying, "Father."
Princess Turtle with her hands on a short knife on her hips. The knife was once given to her husband by Jiayang.
Jiayang was strong while swimming his eyes.
"Oh, Lord, you can't possibly kill my father! Lord who cares more about his family than anyone else!
"Since my mother and brother died, I haven't thought of my father as my family."
"hey... what the..."
"If you still say straw as a family..."
"If you say...?
Princess Tortoise told him in a chilled tone as she put her face much closer to the unfocused family well-being.
"Show me your sincerity"
"In good faith..."
"I have sincerity above all to punish evil and correct errors!
And at the next moment, Princess Turtle pulls out her slender, short knife,
- Don't!!
and stuck at Jia Kang's feet.
And when she looked back, she left the room, leaving the house intact.
