Celebration Year 13 (1608) Late June -
One reward emanating from Tokugawa Shogun brought a severe earthquake to the great names of the nation.
That's...
- Undo all Honta Genuine's duties. Beyond that, be cautious in the country of departure.
That was the thing.
He was suddenly dismissed from his position of responsibility after receiving the favor of Tokugawa Jiayang and continuing to wield the power to overwhelm others within the Shogun.
Moreover, his guilt remained unclarified.
So the townsfolk of Kyou made up their own rumors.
- I hear Tadashi Okubo's grudge spirits have gone insane after mounting it.
- No, apparently, he was exposed to fattening his own stomach, just like Director Okubo.
- She's a bad girl, and she's got a problem with Lord Jia Kang.
None of it has roots or leaves, but everything was a bad rumor, so you can see how he wasn't liked by people.
Katsushi Itakura, the director of Kyoto, had spent every day being chased down by the fire of those rumours.
It was the whirlpool man, Honta Genuine, who appeared before the victory one day.
"We are leaving Fushimi early next month, so I thought I'd say hello."
Winning weight welcomed to the front of the Mansion Gate.
Trying to stay a little away from the purity that stands outside, many wild horses are eager to whisper about how he is.
But purity was a strange gesture, such as the hustle and noise around him, which pierced the usual faceless expression.
- Is the skin on the surface simply thick? Or are you just desperately trying to hide it...
Shengwei twisted his head like that and urged him to go inside.
But purity shook his head quietly to the side.
"I was just going to say hello, so I don't mind."
"I don't know... but I'll be far away, but I'm a master."
"Thank you for your kind words. Mr. Itakura will have a tough time defending Kyou, but please be a master."
"Hmmm......"
A casual greeting, but to Seung-hee, I learned a faint hook on the word "Kyou's defense".
It seemed like a saying that would give a sense of "that there would be a war in Kyo".
- I've been thinking too much...
And when Purity lowered his head small, he tried to leave the spot as soon as possible.
Seung-hee squeezes his mouth and drops off his back.
... and that was then.
Purity told in a small voice without looking back.
The tone was certainly caged in 'hate', and the victory accidentally blued his face.
"Soon we will have a life in Toyotomi. At the end of the day, unless we have so much reason, we will not be able to reach the rich minister."
For Victory it was the first ear, and he snapped his neck.
"A life... I didn't hear that."
"Naturally. Because Toyotomi is secretly pursuing it."
"Do... what do you want to say"
"No, if the angel gets to Osaka safely, you'll be in trouble."
"No way, Lord... I'm not thinking of interfering with that."
"... it would not be strange for us to be rebels if we did that."
That's what I left behind. Purity walked away.

Celebrating 13 years (1608) July 3 Sun Fu Cheng-
Honta-jin was visiting Tokugawa Jiayang.
It was his first meeting since he was dismissed.
And...
This will be the last time he will live to face Jia Hao...
"Out of the blue, you look fine. Pure."
"Hehe, thanks to you, I've had a lot of time, so I'm feeling well."
"Hmm! I wouldn't have told you if that abatement had healed!
So Jia Kang turned away from her purity.
Not very much, but I couldn't stare at him.
It was only the longest time he had spent together since the Battle of Sekigahara that Honta was genuine.
He loved all those talents and a little bit of his dangerous personality...
And as he went on his hegemony, all the challenges that remained became difficult.
Purity to all of them, with excessive confidence, cut the front and bumped into each other.
But when did it reach a point where pure talent could not keep up?
- Oh... why couldn't I wear mud for the difficulties...
Jiayang regretted his deeds.
Never make a weak noise, never run away...
Wasn't the man named Honta Genuine the 'Three Rivers Samurai' from the roots...
While I realized it, why did I run away from him?
And he finally couldn't bear the weight, destroying himself.
Jiayang could not regret his repentance.
But it was words of gratitude for Jiayang that came out of his pure mouth.
"My lord. Thank you so much for your help so far. I am truly grateful that my little self was dreamed of with the great lord."
Jia Kang kept her side to side and couldn't get anything out of her mouth.
But purity went on in a calm tone, without blaming it.
"I sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused to you as a result of my foolish conduct."
Purity bowed its head deeply.
Silence flows for a while...
"I'm sorry. I was able to protect you."
The crouched voice of Jiayang, who breaks the silence.
There was still tension in my voice when I met purity.
Creating a new world mechanism and saying, "Someday I will too!" He was young for his regarded ambitions.
- Oh... My lord is old too...
Purity only looks up a little and stares at Jiayang.
Then...
Jiayang was staring at her purity...
That's all.
He was just staring at me without distracting me from myself, and I felt pure saved.
Close your eyes once.
Slightly squeaking chest beats come from loneliness and excitement.
But slowly he opened his eyes, a soaking face not an inch the same as usual.
Because he is' Honta Genuine '.
And he devoted his last 'measure'.
"Soon an angel from Kyo will descend to Osaka."
"Mm-hmm. It's going to get easier and easier..."
"Heh heh heh, you're going to twist Osaka with any kind of hand, right?
"Huh! I am not such an outrageous man!
"It's fine. Rather, it has to be."
Purity cuts the story once there.
Jia Kang has the eye to "tell me where to go".
I couldn't wait to see the purity in its eyes.
Because I can feel the anticipation I have for myself.
But that's the last of it, too.
When he blinked only once, he continued with just a little color on his usual tone.
"If the angel was not safe, the Toyotomi who served as an escort would not just be sorry."
"No way, Lord... are you going to harm the angel...?
"No, we will not imitate such barbarity"
"So what are you thinking!?
Honta Genuine remains the same.
Pale tone, soot face.
It's not supposed to change.
But why...
I can't stop crying from both eyes.
"If a line of angels and Toyotomi is attacked by an army..."
Purity in words. Tears are getting in the way of moving your mouth as usual.
Then what a handful Jiayang has come up with.
As if to help him.
"How many soldiers in the Toyotomi line do you tread?
"200 at most"
"What's the opposite?
"Let's collect 1000."
"Five times... and then what?
Rewards for comfortable words.
Purity was noticed.
That this is the last 'reward' from Jiayang.
i.e. you are trying to listen to his last 'measure'...
"The army of the shogunate led by the director of Kyoto, Lord Itakura, helps this..."
"I see... the world will know that Toyotomi is protected by Tokugawa."
Jia Kang pulled his chin and thought.
Purity also finally suppresses tears and stares at Jiayang.
And the time he loved most...... the time has come to 'dream'.
"I'll leave it to the Lord. I'll send 3000 soldiers to Kyo."
A "let it go" word from Jiayang.
For this reason, purity has lived.
I've been dreaming with Jia Hang.
Tears overflowing again.
But he is "Honta Genuine".
Whatever happens, don't wander around and do it with a little hateful smile.
Even if it's an eternal goodbye to those you love...
"Now if you'll excuse me for this,"
Purity ran out in the same tone to the end, leaving one room behind.
And when he left Sunfu Castle, he went to the "west" instead of the cautious' east '.
- Genuine Hondo, run!
Three days later, the news ran all over the country.
