After the Tabernacle Meeting, Souyoshi Ishida, who left Osaka Castle, would never come back.
I found out that his location was the Shinji Temple in Kyo, but he was locked in his room by himself, not letting a few people near him.
At the time I chose the path of 'coexistence' with Tokugawa, I was prepared for the minds of Toyotomi's advisors to go away.
It was not difficult to predict a tremendous shock, especially to Soyong, who had been grieving under the heavens of the Toyotomi family.
Still, if you persevere and say, "For the smile of all the people under heaven," you think sweetly that you will understand.
But it seems his shock was far beyond my imagination.
I don't mean to break up with him like this, which can also be described as the big black pillar of the Toyotomi family.
But I have a hard faith, too, just as he has an irrevocable belief.
If one of you had to break to walk with me, you couldn't have broken it from me.
And in Osaka Castle without Soho, a reputation was made.
Of course, there is only one agenda. About my Edo Shingfu.
As an example, a majority vote was taken, but unlike the previous one, it was passed by a 'majority in favour'.
"Now, please write to Lord Hideyoshi to reply."
"Um, okay"
In accordance with the words of Princess Kofi, I write to Hideyoshi Tokugawa of Edo stating that I accept the Edo Takafu.
And he handed it to Oda Lao Dogsai, who is in charge of diplomacy.
With the sense of accomplishment in accomplishing something big, I felt a heavy load of shoulders descend and looked up to heaven unexpectedly.
- This is good. I'm glad to hear that.
The words that have been repeated in my mind many times are repeated here and again.
Many lives have been lost. The war has been averted.
It's a good decision, and even in future generations, my decision must be evaluated as an 'English break'.
But why......
I still have a slight regret in my heart......
The reputation is over and everyone leaves the room one after the other.
Then it caught my eye that Sir Ozo remained until the end.
Apparently, she needs to talk to me.
I corrected my posture and asked her.
"Sir Ozo, how are you? What can I do for you?
She seemed a little hard to say, but she looked at me as she bit off her lips to see if she had decided on her belly.
And he told her in such a heavy tone that it echoed in his belly.
"I need to talk to you about Yoshi."
And...
◇ ◇
That evening...
When I was reincarnated in this era, the meal that just three of us were eating was now joined by two of them, Ichigo and Bruises, which became much busier.
If Chihime talks about the song she remembers, Icha talks about the cities of Kyo and Osaka, and Bruises talks about the grasshoppers she grows.
To all of them, the temple nods with a gentle smile, sometimes hammering.
This evening is a totally unchanged sight.
But I couldn't calm down.
If I noticed, I would peek into the face of the temple.
That was a story told earlier by Sir Ozo, because his head was full.
- Yoshi-sama is not going to Edo and is said to remain at Osaka Castle.
The terms of "Takafu Edo" put out by the Tokugawa family are me and Chihime.
It doesn't even mention side rooms or other family members.
For this reason, even if the temple does not move to Edo, it will not affect a large number of people.
Of course she knew about it and must have made that decision.
But can she live in 'happiness' with it?
Isn't the time I'm spending smiling with my family right now the 'happiness' for her?
Why is she trying to let it go......
"Hideyoshi, what's wrong? Look at all the faces of people as giddy."
The starch peeks into my face wondering as I go through my thoughts.
I said, "Yes, no, it's nothing! answered."
My face is getting hot. Probably stained bright red.
I leaned down unexpectedly and turned to the dining room.
Then a thousand princesses raised their muffled voices from the side.
"Mmmm...! Hideyoshi! Do you like being so crazy!?
"Totally...... Hideyoshi will always be sweet...... you can't!
"Haha! Hideyoshi, who blushed, is cute too!
Itcha and bruises also react to Chihime's words.
And we went into the usual skirmish.
"Or cute... bruises are too sweet for Hideyoshi!
"Well! Isn't it always sweet for Hideyoshi to say so?"
"Haha! Bruises just honestly said cute things. You're so cute that a thousand people are swelling their cheeks."
"What!? Thousands are adorable!? Stop it for a second! Aren't you ashamed!
Starch, who gazed back at how they were, has such tender eyes that he sees something loving from the bottom of his heart.
And finally, this evening opened up, unable to ask her sincerely.
By my decision, Soyo Ishida leaves Osaka Castle, and on the contrary, Yodo refuses to go to Edo and remains in Osaka Castle.
What an ironic result.
My ears did hear something in Osaka Castle collapsing a little bit.
But he shielded himself from them by the great nickname of 'piercing his beliefs'.
◇ ◇
I walked out of the dining room into the hallway.
Then it was Yichai waiting there.
"Can I have a word?
When I found out from the tone that I was dealing with her as a childhood tamer, I answered her as well.
"Oh, what's up?
There's someone I need you to meet.
"Right..."
She walks ahead at the same time as I respond.
I followed that back in silence, but at this point I somehow knew who she wanted me to meet.
And when I got to an unpopular place, someone as I imagined was quietly standing there.
It was a mysterious Hood girl...... i.e. a thousand princesses of the future.
"I knew it..."
"After all, Ta-chan, how did you know?
"You don't care about that. Better than that, just fine. I need to ask you one thing."
When I confronted the girl, she asked me first.
"Hideyoshi is going back to the old days?
It's a core question.
I answered her question without answering it.
"If I were back in my old days, what would happen to me... 'Hideyoshi Toyotomi'?
"I don't care what you say... Hideyoshi will remain Hideyoshi as always."
"So what happens to memories?
"Your knowledge of the future will be gone, but all the memories you've ever acted on will remain."
"Well... that's good"
"Well, I knew you were..."
The girl who cuts words there. I said it out loud.
"Oh Yichai...... Back to the original times with Asako"
Icha and two of the girls stare at my face.
To be honest, it's so illuminating when you can stare from two beautiful girls.
I kept going out of sight of them.
"You're worried about my family back in the day. Besides, there's no way we can tie Mariko up here any more."
"Ta-chan... but then..."
- It means I'm leaving before a thousand princesses...
I'm going to know the rest of what Asako said without having to ask, and not just Chihiko.
You will also part with Happy Village, the Temple, and the bruises.
I'm driven by the thought of myself being torn apart just thinking.
But I've come to this day and age to see the "living" and "dying" of various people.
I realized what they had in common.
That's...
"People live for their families, they die for their families" is the dish.
And now, in my old days, I have a family who pray I wake up.
I couldn't forgive them for cutting off their affection and prioritizing their emotions.
Fortunately, even if I leave this era, "Toyotomi Hideyoshi" will be able to spend as much time with Chihime and others as before.
This means that only Taiichi Kondo will leave this era.
Then it's up to my mind to leave or stay.
My heart hardened.
"... when are you going to be back?
"When Chihime and I entered Sunfu Castle,
In fact, the other day, a letter had been received from Tokugawa Jiayang.
According to this, we are supposed to stop at Sunfu Castle before entering Edo Castle.
Time is just a year and a half after this. In other words, it was decided to be the autumn of the sixteenth year (1611) of Keio.
The girl turned down to my unmistakable answer.
The state of it reflects somewhere sadness.
And she said blush.
"Tell her...... say it right to Chihime. Everything."
I guess what she refers to as "everything" refers to who I am and what I am going back to my original days.
I nodded loudly, not in my mouth.
Then she disappeared from her sight, as if it were smoke.
And before that, she never showed up before me.
◇ ◇
A year and a half later...
Celebrating 16 years (1611) October 2 -
Finally, I, Hideyoshi Toyotomi, welcomed the morning of the day he left Osaka Castle.
And I headed up to Osaka Castle for my last meal.
I mean, Mother, to spend my last time with the Temple...
