May, Tensho 9: Gifu Castle
Finally, I'm home! It's been a long journey. I didn't expect to stay this long, but I got something out of it, too.
I was able to make friends with the vassals, meet Imai Munehisa and other noblemen, and as a direct vassal, I was able to welcome Katsuzo and Keiji. As a direct vassal, I was able to receive Katsuzo and Keiji, and I also got 500 konoe. I'm genuinely happy that I have more forces at my disposal, and the things I can do with them have increased dramatically. We don't have much time until the Honnoji Incident, so how we use this force will determine our fate.
It's not just a matter of how to use this force. I didn't realize that the Tea Party had such a sentimental side. It's not a parting of the ways, it's not a parting of the ways, you know, I'm a bit of an exaggerator.
So, I'm in my room for the first time in a long time. I've got a lot of personal items from this trip, and I need to get them in order.
"Mister, where does this armor set go?
"Before that piece of paper
"Ha!
I've been working with Katsuzo and the others to help me, but it's not quite done. I've been working on it since morning, but it's almost evening, right? I don't know how much they give you, but I sold the ones I didn't want.
Since the rumor of my return to Gifu, I've been receiving tons of tributes from merchants and lords, and it took me a week just to check the contents, so that's quite something.
To be honest, I really doubt their aesthetic sense, because they have so many unneeded things like vases and tea utensils. I don't know if they're good ones or not, but they were happy to hand out some of them to the guards.
I think the thing that made me the happiest was the Wakizashi that Mitsuhide gave me. It's the first time I've seen a Japanese sword in person, so I was very impressed with its beauty. It's really different from looking at it through a case in a museum. It's like the kind of thing they used to bring to the battlefield as a good luck charm, and they said they hoped it would bring good luck.
I'm sure he's a very thoughtful guy, being able to choose what he thinks will make the other person most happy.
The problem is the old man: ...... Well, the globe is what he promised, so I was happy to see it, but the cape, the big hat, the red spear, the hawk, the horse, the chair, etc....... The best thing is my own personal armor, and I can't wear it. I'm not going to bother to make that happen. It's a good thing that you're able to get the most out of it.
I can't sell my grandfather's gift, so I've been trying to reuse it as an interior design, and I've been going through a lot of trial and error since this morning, but it's not over.
It's a very good idea to get rid of the old man's gift at ...... or better yet, put it away in the warehouse.
It's the last step
I'm really not sure what to do: ...... When we were discussing this and that, Nyuu Keiji came in.
Ah! You finally got it, you! You've been moving all morning. You're sweating all over the place. I'm trying my best to say that.
The first thing you need to do is to get a good idea of what you're looking for. How much was there? I'm not counting from a thousand, but I'm sure Shingoro would be fine.
'You're still doing it, aren't you?
"Then let's get the hands on it!
Hmm, well, let's see.
When I thought he was so confident, I was surprised to see that he had finished redecorating his room in just 30 minutes.
What a difference in talent. The room that hadn't been so coherent until a few minutes ago had been transformed into a wonderful room with a Japanese-style base and some Western touches. We can only be stunned by this.
"Humph! What's up! For me, this is a piece of cake.
...... Next time, I'll let you do the room of my grandfather in Azuchihara Castle.
I was finally finished redecorating and was relaxing in my room when my father called me over. A small farmer led me to his room, and I found it was his private room. I wondered if it wasn't a large hall, or if he was on private business.
The peasant urged me into the room, and I saw my father and my mother there. My father's cheeks loosened when he noticed me, but my mother wouldn't even look at me. ...... Looks like you're still the same.
"You're here, now sit here.
"...... excuse me
Hmm, it's been a long time since the family has been together like this. Is Matsu happy? The three buddhas were already very active in Kyoto.
...... Yes, I've heard of you.
Somehow, my dad tries to liven things up, but my mom is not interested. I'm not sure if it's the right thing to do, but I'm sure it's the best thing to do. Huh. ...... Why do you hate me so much?
When I think back, I have surprisingly few memories of my mom. It was a different person who received breast milk, and I never had my diaper changed. I've been held in my arms more times than I can count, and I may have been indifferent to the situation from the beginning. It's not just a matter of time before you get to the point where you'll be able to get your hands on a new one.
It's a good thing that you've got a good idea of what you're looking for.
When my dad asked a moderately in-depth question, mom shook her shoulders in a jolt, as if she thought he was getting nowhere.
...... yes. I can't believe that this child is my child.
"It is true that the Three Lawyers were born out of your pain in the belly. You know that better than anyone else.
"Then! How can this child understand things that are not taught! Looking into her eyes, it's as if she can see through everything: ...... I'm terrified!
Mom looked at me like I was a monster. ...... Is it because I'm a reincarnated person that this has happened to me? I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make it work for you.
The more I think about it, the more negative my thoughts become. It's a good thing that you're not going to be able to find a way to make your life easier.
I'm sure that the three masters of the law certainly have excellent wisdom that is hard to imagine in an infant. But it is still my child. What can you do without a parent to protect you?
"But ......
You know you can't go on like this, don't you?
"..................
It's a good idea, or maybe it's the right thing to do. I'm sure you'll be able to find out what's going on in the world, and I'm sure you'll be able to find out what's going on in the world, and I'm sure you'll be able to find out what's going on in the world, and I'm sure you'll be able to find out what's going on in the world.
I'm sure your mind knows that. But your emotions will not allow you to do so.
I'm sure your father was tortured and threatened by his own mother and tried to kill her many times. I don't want you to have to go through that kind of tragedy again. Let us talk to each other, little by little, so that we can understand each other.
I understand.
If you wish, you can do so at ......
Thus, the father-son talk came to an end. Although our steps are still uneven, what we've been able to achieve with each other today is surely going to bear fruit one day.
But that is still a long way off. I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make it work for you.
