March, Tensho 9.

I don't know how I got into this situation. ...... I survived the hellish experience of being aligned with the horses, and now I'm being exposed in front of the public again, what have I done?

The time goes back to four days ago.

The day after the meeting, the vassals were going about their usual business in a state of dispirited disbelief after all that fuss. I wonder if all warlords in the Warring States period were ubiquitous. Katsuzo also went to practice saying that he could bathe in the water and be fine.

While I was wandering around, I received a call from an old man. The old man called me out, and I saw that the old man was in a hurry. I met up with Shingoro on the way and followed the old man.

As we walked for a while, Shingoro told me that our destination was the Great Hall. I had already sensitively sensed a bad premonition at this point.

The fact that it's not a private room means that it's not a private requirement, and the fact that they go out of their way to use the hall probably means that a reasonable number of guests have come. I heard that the old man was the only one who went back to his private room without drinking much alcohol yesterday. This is how much trouble he must have been in.

"Shingoro, where is my grandfather?

Haha, that's a bit tricky, but we thought it would be faster to ask you directly at .......

Shingoro, don't look so anxious! It's already an absolute pain in the ass! Huh. ...... I don't want to go to .......

I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to get out of the house, but before you know it, you've been captured by the pine tree that was waiting for you beside you, and you've finally arrived at the big hall.

"We got permission from Sanboshi-sama, Saito-sama, and Kamisama. Please pass by.

Yeah, thanks.

"Ha!

When I walked into the hall with a slumped shoulders, there was my father, Gorosa and Mitsuhide, in addition to the old man. And the guests? Some men are dressed like nobles.

Sanboshi, we're here.

I'm here now.

"Good, good, make yourself comfortable. The three masters of Buddhism will sit beside me.

"Ha!

When I sat down next to the old man, I saw the face of the aristocratic-looking person I had just met. I wondered if he was about the same age as my grandfather. The Heian-era aristocrat was wearing makeup and smiled when he saw me. I'm not sure ...... what kind of person you are, but he or she has a bad vibe.

I'm not going to be the only one. You will find that you will be able to get the most out of your time in the world. Remember this.

Good evening. I'm a very happy to see you. I wish you well in this matter.

"Ho ho ho ho, very polite. My name is Yoshida Kenwa, and I would like to meet you, Mr. Sanboshi.

He laughs to cover his mouth with a fan, but his sticky gaze is not hidden. ...... What the hell is the purpose?

As a matter of fact, the Three Lawyers, the lords insist that we meet with you. The other day's lineup was unexpectedly well-received.

It's a good idea to make sure that you have a good idea of what you want to do. It's a good idea to be able to have a good idea of what you're looking for to succeed Oda. ......

Hmm? What is MinoKami? Dads are also rolling their eyes, and is it such a rare thing?

As I was puzzled as to what to do, Mitsuhide, who had quickly come to his senses, rushed into the conversation.

"Please wait, Yoshida-dono! Waka-sama still has two, I thought such an office would only be a burden!

"Hohohohohohoho, the title of government can be conferred on anyone who is qualified. It's not a good idea to have a newborn baby.

"I'd appreciate it if you'd stop staggering the point!

What the heck? Suddenly, it's bleak! What's so bad about it?

"Yoshida-dono, the purpose of granting the fifth-ranked Mino governor to the three Dharma masters is to have an audience with the emperor, isn't it?

When the old man stared at Yoshida, a tense atmosphere instantly dominated the place. The silence that seemed to belie the commotion that had been going on a while ago was nowhere to be found, and it was clear that everyone's eyes were on him. Even under this kind of situation, Yoshida seems to have a lot of nerve, as he maintains his composure.

"Hohohohohohohoho, the emperor has heard about you," he says. Isn't that a good story, isn't it?

Grandpa, why would that make me feel free to take care of my feelings?

You need to have an audience with the emperor, at least the equivalent of a subordinate position. It's just a matter of time before you hear about my successor.

"Ho ho ho ho ho, nonsense etc. very, very much ......

Was it Kanui ...... or something like that? The emperor was an emperor, I believe, and he wants me to meet him. So Yoshida came all the way to fulfill it? But there are others who want me to meet them, right? Even if you say the emperor, if you allow one person to do so, you won't be able to say no to them after that. It's a good thing that you're able to have a good time with your friends and family.

You can't say that the manners of the youngster are still not perfect, Uesugi-sama. It's a bit premature, since the manners of a warrior and a nobleman are not the same," he said.

"Mm. ......

Well done, Shingoro! You're the most reliable man I've ever known! My grandfather seems to agree with what Shingoro said, so maybe this can be managed.

'What do you think, Jubei?'

It is not a good idea to have an audience with the Emperor. I'm sure it will take some time for you to become a child prodigy.

Ho-ho-ho-ho, I'm not going to ask you to do anything. Let's wait for your coming of age.

"Yes, I'll be happy to oblige you.

Oh, I see you've managed to put it all together. Thank God - we don't have time to waste on manners before the Honnoji Incident, so we can't spend our precious time on manners.

However, since the dissatisfaction of the nobles is growing, can we not align the horses again? Then the emperor can see it.

"Aligning the horses again?

"Ho-ho-ho-ho, it doesn't have to be as large as the one you saw the other day. It's better to have something with the Three Lawyers at the center. What do you think, Akechi-dono?

Haha, I guess that would be possible at ......

"Hohohohohohoho, that's a good morning. Hohohohohohohoho.

What a sudden change in the direction of the conversation! I have a very bad feeling about this.

I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make it work. I'm going to leave it to you, so please prepare for it.

"Haha.

"Hohohohohohoho, well, that'll make you look good. I think I'll see you out of here. I'm looking forward to seeing you all, ho ho ho ho ho.

It didn't take long for them to talk. After Yoshida left, I asked Shingoro about the situation, and he said that this was his aim from the beginning. If you destroy the face of Yoshida-dono, a messenger from the imperial court, you will destroy the face of the imperial court, so to some extent we have to concede to him.

This reminded me of a certain psychological technique. It's the door-in-the-face technique, where you dare to make a big request at the beginning and then make a small (real) request when the other person refuses it. This makes it easier to get your demands fulfilled, and in this case, it's a precedent that has been set before, and even allows you to reduce the size of the request to make it easier for you.

It's not just a matter of time before you'll be able to get your hands on some of the most advanced technology available. ...... It's just a matter of time before you get your hands on some of the most advanced technology available. Tixie!

And the situation was as described in the beginning. I was going to be rocked in a more luxurious palanquin with five hundred soldiers to be exposed to the people.

Maybe it's because it's only been five days since the last time, but there are still a lot of people in K computer, and it's showing so much excitement that you would think that there might be more people gathered there than that, based on the rumors. It seems that the course is different from the past, as they have created a dedicated space for the emperor and the nobility to go back and forth twice. How much consideration do you have to give to this?

Huh. ...... How long has it been since it began? I can hear the great cheers, but frankly, no matter how much fun I have, my eyes will be completely dead and staring into the void.

Ugh. ...... I'm going to ask the pine tree to kneel for me when I'm done.
