April, Tensho IX, Kyoto

It's another beautiful day! Your mother said it's the best time of year for cherry blossoms to bloom, so it would be nice to go out and see them. Well, I'll invite my cute little brother, Sanboshi, to join us. Hahahahaha! That's my mistress, you are a witty, mature woman! Let's get going!

Opening the sliding doors with a bang, I leap out into the hallway. And as I ran, the other day's events flashed through my mind. Thinking back, my encounter with the Three Dharma Masters was quite an exciting one.

My uncle, a concubine, said, 'Even though there are many people under the sun, no one knows who they are! It's not an exaggeration to say that he is a good person.

I thought that her niece, the concubine, would definitely be known to her uncle's guests and subjects: ...... hahahaha! No way, the first thing that comes out of the opening is 'Who the hell are you! Never in my wildest dreams did I ever hear anyone say, "I don't know what to do!

Only two infants have faced this mistress as equals, nothing could be more interesting! You should not be afraid of the fact that you will be able to use your own money to pay for your own private matters.

I didn't expect her to refuse her advances, so I played a prank on her, but it was his loveliness that was to blame! When you hug them, they are puffy and floppy. ...... That was a foul.

It's not surprising that your mother loved her more than the mistresses. ...... Well, after that, your mother scolded me a lot. It's not a good idea to kidnap the grandson of your uncle, the current head of the Oda family. Yes, I'm sorry about that.

I didn't expect that the three buddhas were better than you.

Normally, I would have given up on this. But when you've fallen in love with something, there's nothing you can do about it. I'll make him my direct vassal! This is a decision! Hmm, no pros and cons!

While I was running down the corridor for a while, I saw a familiar shade ahead. Yes, that's Hatsu and Jiang.

Huh? Sister - what are you doing in such a hurry?

"Suspicious ............

"Hmm, now we're going to see the Three Lawyers! Do you guys want to go too? Don't go? Let's go!

Hmm, that's a good idea!

I already have. ............

Well, that's fine. Ah! Oh, did you hear that? I heard that the three buddhas are going back to Gifu.

What the hell? Mistress, I'm not listening to you!

You little brat, I didn't mean to say that!

"I can't do this! First, Jiang, the mistress is about to go! Farewell!

The concubine had started running before hearing Hatsudatsu's reply. I'm sorry, Hatsume, Jiang. I'll deal with you next time!

"Huh? Hey sis!

"Left Behind ............

Hmmm, even if I look for them blindly, I can't abduct them. Should I mark this place as a place where the Three Lawyers could be found? Hmmm: ...... All right! In the backyard! Mistress' intuition is not crazy! When you decide to, you're off!

She continues running down the corridor, almost bumping into a couple of handmaids on the way, but uses her natural physical prowess to dodge them. That's what I'm talking about, I'm in top form again today! Now all we have to do is turn this corner: ...... Okay! There you are! There are a couple of people in the way next to the Three Lawyers, but it's all right.

"Hahahahaha! I've got it, Three Fools!

Mmmm, the moment you saw the face of your mistress, you contorted your face in disgust! Rude guy!

What are you doing here, my dear?

"I've come to visit! Hmm? What is it that you are doing, O Sambhist?

When I looked, I saw Katsuzo dancing in some mysterious way. It's very spooky.

This is a squat. I'm doing katsuzo training. Bodybuilding is a basic principle.

Scoop? I don't know, but since it's the Three Lawyers, I guess it's not a waste of time.

The big one over there is the rumored Keijiro?

"Oh, I'm Maeda Keijiro, just Keiji! Nice to meet you, girl! Crackle!

I've heard that Sanboshi has picked up another strange one, but, well, it sure is a strange looking one.

I've been working on it for a while now. "Keiji is an ordinary tatsujin," he said. It is best to fight with those who are a lot higher than you, because it is best to fight with those who are a lot higher than you.

You have a lot on your mind. Ah! Oh yes, I remember. Three Fathers, let's go see the cherry blossoms!

That's right, that's right. I forgot all about it when I saw Mushi Daruma.

Sakura? Why also ......

It's a man's dream to see flowers with a woman, isn't it? All right, I'll show you the best places.

"Really? You are so clever. Good! Show me.

"Click! Oh, I'm on it.

"Hey, hey, wait! You're listening!

Hug the disliked Sanboshi, alright! Let's go!

The place Keitsugu took me to was spectacular, with dozens of cherry trees all blooming at once along the bank, and even more cherry trees in the mountains, which I could see from a distance.

"Oh! This is awesome! How did you know about this place!

"Kakka-kka! I haven't been hanging out in Kyoto in years.

How about the Three Lawyers? It would be spectacular.

Hmm. I would have liked to be alone.

"Kojatsume! Be honest!

Meow, meow!

Anyone who isn't pretty enough will be sentenced to a limp! Oh, it's also beautifully glutinous today!

"Kakka-kka! Little kids, at times like this, you have to recite a poem, you know?

Hmm, that's good to know. But I'm not so good at waka. Mmm, that's because she skipped her apprenticeship.

"Mmm, I can't get to it. ......

"Kakka-kka! I'm still half a man!

Duh! Fool!

What about that kind of keiji?

"Hmm? Me? I guess so: ......

How about ......, where you can see the cherry blossoms in the spring mists on the mountain and never get tired of them?

"Oh! What a graceful song! Isn't that great, Keiji?

I never thought I'd hear such a nice song from Keiji! Even the Three Fathers are rolling their eyes, and I'm excited!

"Click! That's a song by Nori Tomonori.

So, what does it mean?

You can never get tired of seeing the cherry blossoms in the mountains with the spring haze trailing down the mountainside, no matter how many times you see them. In the same way, no matter how many times I see you, I will never get tired of you. That's what I mean.

I'd love to be able to write a song like that. Worthy! I've reviewed it, Keiji!

Well done. I thought you were just a joke.

"Hey, that's a surprise. I do everything from waka poetry, Chinese poetry, classical music, tea ceremony, arithmetic, and kemari (Japanese football)!

"Really? That's awesome.

Hmm, the three masters are right. I didn't expect you to have such a cultural background!

"Kakka-kka! Attaboy! It takes more than just the brawn to seduce every woman in the world today and in the past! Crackle!

This guy is the worst! It must have been a mistake to review, you woman enemy!

"Don't look at that one, Three Fathers, it's bad for education.

Huh. ...... Sorry.

Well, good. Let's enjoy the cherry blossoms for now.

As I looked at the cherry blossoms in full bloom, I remembered my first words. I wondered how many years it would be before we would see the cherry blossoms together, when Sanboshi returned to Gifu. Maybe there will be no next time.

Nope, Sambhoshi ...... is really going back to Gifu? Stay with the mistress a little longer: ......

"I'll be returning to ...... for more.

"But!

I was about to shout out to him, but he quickly restrained me with his hand.

It's okay, I'll see you again. Let's come see Sakura again.

It's a promise. ......

Yeah, it's a speed. Cha-cha-cha.

I'm sure you'll be able to find the right one for you.

I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make it work for you.

It's a good idea to be able to have a good time. If you break it, I'll sever it!

It really was not a pretty sight. But ...... today's cherry blossoms will be remembered by the mistress for the rest of her life.
