March, Tensho 9.
Since the other day, Waka-sama has been lying on the floor, but perhaps our thoughts have been answered, and he has started to show us his health. We knew he wasn't ill, but our concern for him didn't change.
He said that he and Murai-sama would be traveling around Kyoto today, and he would be accompanied by about thirty of his konoe. I'm sorry to say that I can't accompany you as I have to instruct the rest of them.
I'm sure you'll find it very troublesome if a problem arises without me being there to see it: ...... It's a good thing that you have a sufficient number of guards. I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make your life easier and more fun.
It's a good idea to have a good time.
"Yes, take care of these guys.
"Ha!
The sight of young Master Murai and the others leaving the room made me realize how quickly they are growing up.
However, a few years ago, I could never have imagined that I would be entrusted with the role of assistant to Waka-sama.
The first time I met Shounin was when I followed my late father, Dōzō's last will and testament and went to present the Mino cession to you. I was deeply moved by the spirit of your father-in-law, who had sent out an army for my father-in-law, if only in time.
After that, you took me in your arms with no place to return to, and I was finally able to visit my homeland again. When I visited my father's grave, I burst into tears and was laughed at by the High Priestess, but my heart was filled with great joy. Maybe it was at that time that I pledged my loyalty to Shosama from the bottom of my heart.
Perhaps in recognition of my work, I was even appointed as the top retainer of Hekiyo-sama, who was the son of Kamisama's son, in recognition of the work I had done for Shosama at the time of the capital campaign and at the time of Asakura.
It's a great gift for a general to live up to the name of your son, and if my son or grandson was able to serve him, I thought there would be no greater pleasure than that.
I never imagined that I would be given the highest level of trust, the role of Master Young Master's wife. I was determined to make sure that I would be able to raise Young Master to be a great general if it came to this point. ...... Young Master has betrayed my imagination in a good or bad way.
When I first met Waka-sama, I thought he was a strong child with a strong will of his own, albeit inadequate in words. I'm not going to be able to say that I'm not going to be able to get it right.
I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about the fact that it's a very good idea for you to have a good idea of what you're looking for. It's a good thing that you're not concerned about it, but it seems that your wife has a weird feeling about you, and she won't go near you.
It is not a good sign. They say he is the son of God, not the son of man. ...... They ridicule him as a child abandoned by the Mistress. Of course, there are a few who use it in a good sense. But the majority of them had bad intentions towards the young master.
I had to find out. As the head of the house, I had to find out if he is suitable to be the head of the Oda family as the head of the house. But Waka-sama would push me around so much that I didn't have time to think about such things.
The first step was to procure Ranba, which I hired from Kouga. He didn't want to hire them from Kouga, but from all the people in the village.
Another unreasonable request was made. Such people should already be in the service of the daimyo family, and they are not willing to let go.
I'm sure they are already working for the lords and ladies, and they are not willing to let go. I've heard that you have been treated unfairly since the Nagashino incident, and there's a good chance that it's in your bloodline.
When I visited the village with my men, I was delighted to find a solution to this unreasonable problem, and found a scene that was out of this world.
The houses had been burned to the ground and were in ruins, the fields were desolate, and the children were blinded by the lack of light. When I asked him what had happened, he answered in a voice so quiet that I almost missed it.
It was such a tragic event that I wanted to cover my ears. The attackers were the Takeda family. It was probably only done to vent the soldiers' resentment. The unguarded adults were beaten to death by the soldiers, and the children were barely alive.
When we heard the story, we couldn't hide our indignation! This is what people do! It's an outrageous thing for a warrior to do, to cause such a tragedy just to vent his anger, and it's an outrageous thing for a warrior to do!
We will never forgive the House of Takeda. With that in mind, I made the graves of the victims and then brought the surviving children home.
I brought them back, but my pace was heavy. To be honest, I can't say that these children are far from full-fledged, and I was prepared to be scolded, but young master is not such a small person.
When he heard about the children's situation, the young master embraced them with tears in his eyes and gave each of them a name, saying that I would protect them from now on.
How kind of you! The children who had been touched by the heart of Young Master, as well as all of us, could not help but shed tears.
How foolish I was to suspect such a gentle person of being a monster! I vowed at that time that I would support Waka-sama until my body rotted away.
This event soon spread among the vassals, and little by little, the prejudice against the young master seemed to diminish.
Then, as I spent more time with Waka-sama, I began to understand him better and better.
The first was knowledge. The first is the knowledge of the young master, who is quite unbalanced in his knowledge, who knows difficult things that he hasn't taught, and who doesn't know the common sense of the nobility and the nobility. When I asked him who taught him this, he said he learned it from listening to everyone's conversations. Hmmm, it sounds like he's hiding something ...... but that's okay.
The second is that he is a collector. It's a good thing that you're able to have a good time with them. The boss had a similar habit, so it must be in his blood.
However, I was truly surprised when he pulled out Katsuzo. It's not just a matter of time before you get to the top of the list, it's also a matter of time before you get to the top of the list. There are a lot of things that you can do to make your life easier and more fun.
But there is also a problem. It is a good thing to recruit talent, but for some reason the youngsters only pick up military officers.
I was impressed and relieved when I thought that this was the result of our young master's meeting with the elders in Ando, and I was also impressed and relieved that he was a great man. I thought that this would make me feel a little better.
However, the only people in the room were military officers, and there were only a few civilian hopefuls, about the size of a sparrow's tears. Nevertheless, I did not give up and proceeded with the selection process and succeeded in securing fifty civil servants. I was so happy that I was finally able to cry unnoticed that I was able to take a turn at being a civilian officer.
However, it was like a dream come true and vanished. When I gathered fifty apprentices and had them work as civil servants on a trial basis, most of them could only read and write, and were naturally unable to formulate a plan.
After all, there were only about five of usable men, and it would take several years for the others to become full-fledged professionals. I shed tears unseen.
Oh, young master, next time, please pick up a civil servant!
I'm back, I picked up an interesting man in the middle of the road.
"Kakka-kka! Are you the groom? I'm Maeda Keijiro, Keiji is fine, nice to meet you!
"........................
I'm coming back to you.
"It's been a long time since I've seen my father again! I hope I'm not dumbfounded! Crackle!
I'll see you later, Shingo.
".....................
Even after the young master left, I was stuck for a while. What's that man's appearance? Maeda-sama's relatives? Speaking of Keijiro, isn't he a rambunctious eccentric? ...... That is, he is not a civil servant.
"Kisheye!
"Say, Saito-sama! Snap out of it!
"Saito-sama is down! Call the apothecary!
"Report to Lord!
Oh, I'm losing my mind. ...... Young master, please civil servant, civil servant!
