Give me a little time back.

That was just as Sansei Ishida was fighting fiercely against the Fujido Takati Army in "Battle at the Foothills of Shinoyama," i.e. around the evening of December 17, 16 (1611) Keio.

I, Hideyoshi Toyotomi, was stopped near the harbor in front of Sakami, called Hyogo Tsu.

Stopping him doesn't mean he was in a state of engagement with the enemy.

How dare you get caught up in 'traffic' and not go any further.

When you look at the sea, countless ships cover the sea level.

I wondered and called out to the bowman.

"What the hell is going on with this!?

"Heh. Actually, the port of Sakami was sealed off by Dade's lord. The ships that were scheduled to unload in Sakai are gathered in Hyogo Tsu."

"Blockade...?

"Heh. When you sink a ship that stopped near Sakai Harbor with a cannon for everything. You're horrible."

I blued my face the moment I heard the words.

And before leaving Toyoko, the message to Misty Hidden Talent Zone came to my mind.

- Tell him that Hideyoshi is aiming for Sakai Harbor by boat.

That, of course, was done with the prospect of reassuring the people in Osaka Castle and braving the battle against the Shogun Army.

But now I realize it's gone completely behind my back.

I mean, if the ship I'm on gets into Sakai, it's relentlessly sunk by the Dada Army...

It was more obvious than seeing fire that such concerns arose.

"Oh no! Anyway, get off the ship! Go for Osaka Castle by land!!

That's what I gave you.

We know that the army of the Shogun is also waiting for us on the road to Osaka Castle.

Still, breaking through Sakai on an unprotected ship is impossible given the current situation.

"Anyway, if we don't hurry, 'harmony' will be established!

I made the foremen hurry and the soldiers prepare to disembark.

And I prayed hard in my heart.

Before harmony is established, so that we can arrive...

◇ ◇

It was just a little before that time.

Misty Hidden Talents arrived at Osaka Castle and conveyed Hideyoshi's message to the castle...

- Whoa, whoa!

And it came to pass, that the people of the castle became a festival.

Surrounded by great armies, even Hideyoshi's life and death remained unknown, because they were having days of anxiety.

The reward, of course, was also delivered to the three people who had gathered during the appraisal, the Temple, Governor Ono and Sir Ozo.

It should be noted that Chang Yuki Maida, along with Uchi Takani, is on his way to Fort Nagaju, where Hiroshi Gui is absent, and he is not here.

Their faces are much brighter, and they rejoice with tears in their eyes when they are in the temple.

It is certain that the governor was also heart-pounding with joy.

But more than that, in his case, he was immersed in the sensation of a load of shoulders.

- Is this finally the end of your role?

When you take a big breath, you look up at the ceiling.

Then even the slightest amount can be clearly seen.

Let's just say that the heavy pressure of "Osaka Castle's deputy" made sure that what was normally supposed to be visible was no longer visible.

And where the place had one paragraph, the governor was struck by a sudden drowsiness.

Especially in the last few days, I haven't slept nearly a single night.

It was not quite fresh for him that the thread of tension, with its puffiness cut, brought everything back to 'calm'.

But......

Sometimes the great river of history flows rapidly.

That was just under a quarter of an hour from the return of the talent.

What a Kaitori who left Osaka Castle and returned to the castle as the "Messenger of the Shogun".

While exposed to people's curses and white eyes, with his strong eyes he decided to be ready for immortality, as he walked down the corridor, he entered between his reputations in search of a glimpse with the starling temple.

And he prayed, and told him in a clear tone.

"Master Yoshi. Kirikitori and Yuan, I have a lifetime favor to ask!

The governor was keeping an eye on what was going on.

And he knows that he has always tried to keep the peace in the castle while keeping his desires in check.

Such and original is trying to convey his will as hard as iron toward the starling temple.

He accidentally swallowed his spit.

The temple, on the other hand, inquired in a serene tone as usual.

"How are you feeling? I've never seen a Lord so serious."

The temple threw words against the original, which could also be taken as disgusting, because it was trying to soothe the atmosphere and relieve the original tension.

However, the original appearance continued with a tight look, without any concern for the starling temple.

"The Bureau of Tea is waiting for you at Fushimi. Please bond 'harmony'."

The starch changes its complexion from warm to cold. But she replied, keeping a calm tone.

"Hideyoshi will be back soon. Then we can talk about it."

However, when I got out of the room, my face turned bright red and continued.

"Hideyoshi's life is in danger as it is......!

"What?"

When the narrow eyes of the temple became clear and round, tears began to flow from the next moment and from the original eyes.

That was clearly 'tears of repentance'.

"Shogun houses a large array of artillery in the harbor after occupying Sakami. And if there is a ship that approaches the harbor, it sinks..."

The Starch has lost too many words of surprise and is shaking his neck sideways to deny reality.

On her behalf like that, the governor tried to calmly line up the words.

"I don't really think we're going to fire at the ship, assuming it's because we're lining up cannons. The Shogun will be joking too."

And the former chewed his lips, and he gave his eyes to the curator.

His eyes congest bright red and his face is still as grim as a ghost.

Just looking at his face, the governor immediately understood that it was "not just every time".

And I said it in a trembling voice.

"Because they mean it, that's what they came here for...! Protecting Master Hideyoshi is the mission that he has been entrusted with, so here he is! Say" joke "or something like that again. Slash your Lord on the spot, and it will cut your belly off."

And in the original burning words, during the earlier reputation, which was spring-like brightness, was overshadowed by the cold silence as under the midwinter sky.

And the kind of person who makes his words decisive has rolled in between the ratings.

It was Zongfan Tsuda.

"Also, I say!

On behalf of the temple of the stars, once again the governor says, "Fine, say so," and speaks to Zongfan.

Then Zongfan also told him, turning his face bright red, just like his ex.

"Dada is serious! I seriously intend to sink Hideyoshi's ship!!

Cut out like this, he said crumbly what he had seen with his own eyes.

That was precisely what could only be described as the beauty of the blue sky, an unbridled reality.

What irony, even though the "return of Hideyoshi" was a delight until just now, because that thing is now hunting down the Toyotomi on the contrary.

The governor had lost much of his word and was about to lose his mind due to a tremendous impact.

On the other hand, his side as' Warlord of the Warring States' has given him a peek in the face.

If this is a 'measure' by someone, what a vibrant thing to be at the same time cruel and despicable to trample on the kindness of others......

The governor was comfortable being real and unreal to the 'offense' of a dimension far beyond his instrumental weight.

In this sense, he really appreciates himself as a 'mediocre' person.

At the same time that there was a difference between 'great men' such as Changyuki Maida and Sansei Ishida, including Jiayang Tokugawa, they thought they were 'coveted' and couldn't possibly reach them.

But now, in the middle of the Vortex of History, where such 'great men' are created at the centre, the governor stands.

So he finally realized.

- The great men are also 'normal' people.

and.

And the "measures" were never transcendent in intelligence, but really muddy, and they continued to show off in different ways, simply with the pleasure and sorrow of their opponents.

And now, I couldn't think of as one 'measure' to just overturn this situation.

That would be the same for the starch, who changed her face to earthy in front of her, and Lord Ozo, who supports her back next door.

In the meantime, I said in a voice like the starch squeezes out.

"We are in harmony..."

i.e. at this point......

Toyotomi decided calmly that he had been "defeated".

"Please bring Lord Yurasai here. We'll start the evaluation."

As a 'deputy', the governor gave orders to his lowest surname.

The first name brought Yurakusai as soon as he ran down the hallway to be played.

With the same spare look on his face, Yurakusai, who lowered his hips in a slow motion, said awakening to the air of the field.

"Oh, my God, I think I'm in some serious shit."

To Yurasai's words, which turned his nerves upside down, the governor told everyone on the spot, shuddering his feelings.

"Okay, we'll start the evaluation. The agenda is about harmony."

And...

◇ ◇

- Reconciliation with the Shogun shall be determined by the Temple, Mother of Excellence.

- The Messenger of Reconciliation shall be two of the Sisters of the Temple, Changkao House (Jikokuen) and Lord Ozo.

- The contents of harmony shall be determined by Fushimi.

That was the three points that were decided in the rating.

And the transmission to the generals fighting on the battlefield, moreover, was decided by the Governor, the deputy, to take command himself.

It should be noted that the temple returned to its chamber silently at the same time as the evaluation began.

In his unfocused eyes, the curator remembered so much pain that his body was chopped up, just eyeing his shivering lips in small pieces.

"I'm glad this is it..."

Dressed in armor and carrying the flag of "Chisei Ladybug," he snuffed, riding his horse and leaving Osaka Castle behind.

When we move forward in history, we always' get 'something,' throw 'something away.

only a few days, but the governor deplored them.

From now on, Osaka Castle will 'dump' many things in order to 'get' the irreplaceable: the life of Toyotomi Hideyoshi.

One of them is undoubtedly the 'samurai minute' of many rich minister ministers.

Otherwise, it's impossible for a curator on a horse to distort his face with tears...

Regret. Regret. Regrettably.

Just one word, dominating the chest.

Regardless, I didn't forget that I made up my mind about 'harmony' once, because I did it to him.

However, the appearance of two "heroes", Souyoshi Ishida and Chang-yuki Maida, was sprouting in his mind a "samurai minute" as part of the Toyotomi family.

And he kept screaming from the bottom of his belly as he shook off his thoughts.

"Retreat! I wish!!

And...

◇ ◇

Celebration 16 Years Late on December 17th...

The talks at Fushimi Castle, which began after the night book fell, can be said to be unusual, continued until about the time the date changed.

There are two conditions from the Toyotomi side.

"Main Relief" and "Immediate Retreat of Shogun Army".

On the one hand, the shogunate side was "the collapse of Fort Nagaju and Maidamaru" and "the landfill of the moat of Sanomaru and Niumaru".

A condition that can also be described as manifestly unequal.

But by a word of Acha's Bureau, Toyotomi revealed an attitude of acceptance.

What is that one word......

"Let Osaka Castle be a symbol of peace"

That was the thing.

That is, if the two armies do not confront each other, there should be no need for moats, castles, etc.

From now on, let's be friendly and hold hands and make a world of heavenly Tahei together.

Behind her words was such a wish.

When I was held to that, it was impossible to say no.

If he refused, Sir Ozo decided that harmony would be incomplete on the spot, endangering not only Hideyoshi's life, but the city of Osaka itself.

That's how......

The rapprochement has been established.

Celebrating sixteen years (1611) Early morning of December 18th -

I, Hideyoshi Toyotomi, finally climbed the gate of Osaka Castle.

Many are welcoming us and cheering us.

Some of them were relieved or even weeping.

But the temple finally didn't show its face because it was "breaking its body".

It is clear from the response of the Shogun Army, which has put us through the Toyotomi Army well, that 'harmony' has already been established. And from the color of "anxiety" in the eyes of the people who welcomed me, I also remembered that the content of "harmony" was unexpected.

How should we move now......

So when I tried to haunt my head, Princess Kofi walking next door called out gently sometime.

"Show your face to the starling temple for one second. Think about the rest."

I snorted loudly at her words.

When I think about the starry temple, my chest is about to rip open.

Who can correctly understand her despair when she hears that countless artillery cannons arranged on the scythe are about to be directed at the ship on which I was boarded?

And who will be blamed for her decision to prioritize saving her son's life, even if she drove Osaka Castle into a critical situation?

I'm sure all the people in the castle support the decisions she made.

Still, she would bear the blame of humiliating 'harmony' all by herself.

When nature and my legs got faster, how long had I been turning into a runner?

- I want to see my mother soon!

And I'm gonna tell you, "As usual,"

- Da-da-da-da-da-da!!

Sounds in the hallway, intense footsteps.

I'll do my best to run down the hall.

When I had just come to this era, I didn't know right or left, Osaka Castle.

But now, I can just go for one room, just go for one, and push along without any strays.

Finally, I came to the front of the room where I wanted to be.

Get your roughened breath ready.

And......

- Span!

And when he opened his eyes with momentum, he said with a bright voice that pushed him through.

"Mother! I'm home now. Ah!!

To my sudden visit, the stars that round my eyes.

I made a desperate smile.

Hideyoshi is fine!

Don't worry about anything!

I try to convey words with an expression that don't sound like that.

It was that next moment......

Starch smiles dazzling......

- Fuwah......

And he hugged me gently.

And she whispered in my ear.

"Welcome back. And I'm sorry"

And...

Shortly after I heard that......

My tear glands broke.

Tears flowing as if the weir had been cut.

Still, I made a desperate smile.

"Sorry. Sorry."

Her voice kept creeping deep into my chest, apologizing to me over and over again as I gave her a whimper.

The truth is, no one is wrong.

So there's no way the temple needs to apologize to me.

I shook my trembling voice.

"Mother... please stop... rather it is I who should apologize. Sorry for your concern."

"Wow!

At last, the temple burst into tears.

I also collapse with her without knowing how to stop overflowing emotions.

The gear of history is finally trying to drink us.

Me and the Temple both know that the remaining 'roads' disappeared one after the other in the streak of adversity brought about by that gear.

There is no longer only one 'road' left......

The end point of that 'road' is the Toyotomi, the doomsday -

And Toyotomi Hideyoshi's "Death" -

She was the death of her beloved parents, the death of her newborn son, and the death of her husband and all sorts of hard acids, but she never showed any weakness in front of me.

But now her sight should show an obvious' despair '.

And finally, her heart was broken, by 'despair'.

"Mother... please don't cry. Don't bother."

Still, the way she kept apologizing so hard, it just seemed like one poor woman.

I embrace the temple strongly.

I've never felt that her back, which I just thought was so big before, was so small and adorable.

And she also kept holding me tight with her hands around my back.

Her whole body trembles, coming directly from her.

Then…….

The flame that lit my heart, it burned.

"You will never lose......"

Soon the tears had dried up and the tremors in his voice had stopped.

A faintly reacting starch slowly moved away from me in my unexpected words.

I can't stop crying yet.

And I grabbed both of her shoulders and said,

"I will never grieve my mother! Please trust Hideyoshi!

My powerful proclamation finally brought tears to a halt from her eyes.

"Hideyoshi..."

Even if I say it without hesitation, you find it hard to believe it.

That is evident from the color of her eyes reflecting her confusion and the fine voice color.

In the current situation, I know I'm better off telling you to believe it when you say 'unbeatable'.

But I'm back to win.

I'm back to make everyone happy and 'smile'.

I came back to clear the way.

I kept staring at the temple without saying a word.

And finally......

Her mouth was all over her.

"I believe you. Hideyoshi."

My eyes, which do not doubt me for an inch, shine with dazzle.

That's the days I loved...

It was my mother's face.

I left the room as soon as I was grateful.

Two people were waiting there, Princess Kofi and Yukimura Maida.

I nod small at them. And he started walking down the hallway with a powerful foothold.

"You look good. That's the man who draws His Highness's blood."

And Princess Kofi spoke to me as she narrowed her eyes.

I fell for her words.

Yes, she's right.

I am the one who draws Hideyoshi Tai Toyotomi's blood...

I mean, he's the heir to Tai Chi.

And I know.

Just because we tied an unfavourable rapprochement doesn't mean we lost completely yet.

that the final showdown remains.

That it's the Osaka Summer Formation.

I mean, our battle for Toyotomi is coming!

◇ ◇

Osaka Castle, January 5, 2017

When the sunset settled, the popularization of "The Collapse of Fort Nagaju and Maruda Maru" and "The Landfill of the Moat of Sanomaru and Erumaru" by the Shogun began as early as possible.

And it was in there.

In the name of "Greetings to the service of popularity," one Daimyo asked for me.

"I'll see you first. Lord Hideyoshi"

A low, crouched, thick voice.

And this man, who has the atmosphere of overwhelming the others, is the Teng himself who brought about 'unfavourable harmony'.

"Cyclops." It was the Dada Sect.
