June, Tensho 9: Mori Katsuraga Nagayoshi
The ocean as far as the eye can see, the destination is the faraway country of Sagami. I never dreamed that a man would go to such a distant country.
Thinking back, it all started with an encounter with the young master.
It must have been about five months ago when he met the young master. A person in those days didn't know what to do now.
When a man was thirteen years old, his father died, and he had to do his duty as a retainer of the family.
He was sad to hear of his father's death, to be sure, but he was even more proud. For the sake of your loyalty to the family, you successfully held off more than 10,000 enemy troops with a small handful of soldiers.
You will be able to see that they have been able to take care of your younger brothers and sisters as well, and that they have shed tears for your father's death.
This is a testament to your father's humanity. Ten years have passed since I started to devote myself to it, hoping to become a great warrior like your father.
It was easy at first. You can find a lot of people who have been in the same boat as you.
I'm not going to be the only one who can do that.
There was nothing.
I'm sure you'll be able to find the best way to get the best out of it.
I'm sure that not only the enemy, but also his colleagues are afraid of the man and will not approach him.
It wasn't supposed to be like this! I wanted to be a warrior like your father, adored by his people and his friends. I'm not sure what was wrong with him. ...... What was the meaning of these ten years?
I'm sure you'll be able to find out what's going to be the best way to go about it. But a man has only a spear, and there are many who are stronger than a man. You can't keep this up, so you seek guidance from various masters, but you will not get any results.
The benevolent rule of Akechi-sama, the overwhelming bravery of Shibata-sama, the superior wisdom of Niwa-sama, and the warmth of Hashiba-sama's personality could only be half-heartedly imitated by a man.
It was then that he met Chuzaburo. Chuzaburo, a man of exceptional talent, a man of letters and arms, a man of integrity, loved by both his people and his colleagues, was everything a man could have hoped for in a daughter-in-law.
At first, he was certainly jealous. But even more than that, he was ashamed of himself.
What can I say to my father in heaven, who is pursuing his ideals and not realizing them, and even looking at a successful person and envying him for it! A man had become such a nasty person, I couldn't help but feel sorry for him when I thought about it.
I'm sure that Chuzaburo will be able to save hundreds or thousands of lives in the future. However, a man could only take off two or three dozen heads at most.
Still, he was scrambling desperately to reach his ideal when he met the young master.
From then on, every day was full of surprises.
If you can only do one thing, master it," he said, desperately training to somehow repay Waka-sama for showing him the way.
The things that Waka-sama invented, such as "Beasibutikumpu" and "Kinninu no Nibigaku," were the fruits of wisdom that a person like a certain ignoramus would never be able to comprehend.
After eating meat and dried fish and vegetables as instructed by the young master, he would sleep and train hard.
Then one day, a man was astonished by the changes in his own body. Compared to just two months ago, his body had grown a full size, and his thrusts had clearly improved several levels of sharpness!
Follow the young master and a man will reach the supreme realm! A certainty that this was the case made a man cry unnoticed.
But the man became stagnant.
The method of training that the young master has taught himself is a wonderful thing. You will be able to feel that your spear skills are increasing rapidly.
However, he had never been able to defeat Keiji-dono. I'm not going to be able to get a good idea of what I'm going to do with it. In fact, he had lost all five hundred battles.
Are you still going to do it?
That day, I challenged Keiji-dono while covered in mud and was defeated in a daze. It is true that his body is at its limit, his legs are trembling and his grip strength is long gone.
But a man has no choice but to train.
It's a good thing that ...... is the only way to train the ...... that the young master has given us! If this is still not enough to reach ......, then hahaha, what should a ...... man do!
There is a way, there is a way, and we have not yet reached it. ...... then you have no choice but to keep going!
Huh ...... stop. It's useless to do this anymore, we'll see you tomorrow.
Keiji-dono says so and turns to leave. Wait! A man can still do it, he can still scrape!
"Keji-dono ...... please, please, please. Hahaha ...... training ......
As the man was kneeling on his knees, with all his strength, the sound of Keiji-dono's footsteps suddenly disappeared. I'm sure you'll be able to find out what's going on with your own personal computer.
"...... You're a total pain in the ass ......
...... How much time had passed, when I suddenly regained consciousness, the sun had already set and a man was being carried by Keiji-dono.
I'm not sure where in the city. There was something suspicious about the place.
"Hmmm? What a wake up call, you slept so well. You must be tired, man.
"Um, ...... Keji-dono, what is this place?
"It's a color town.
Iro-machi ...... color town! Why are you there! A man does not have time for that!
"Keiji-dono! Put me down! A certain kind of thing!
"Click! Don't worry about it. I'll take care of everything.
No matter how much effort we put into it, it doesn't budge at all. You can't see Keiji-dono's face, but you can vaguely sense that he's making fun of you.
I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make it work for you.
I'm sure you'll be able to find the best way to get the most out of this article.
I'm not going to be the only one. I'm not going to be able to get rid of it.
You can't blame them for throwing you around so violently that you can't help but stare hatefully at Keiji-dono.
I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to find out what's going on here, but when I looked around, I saw a small detached house.
You can also have a look at the following information
Yeah, I'm renting a place away from someone I know. Come on, come on.
When I walked into the detached room, I found a set of tea ceremony utensils there, grudgingly.
I'm sure you'll be happy to know that I'm not the only one, but I'm not the only one.
Hey, it's me!
"Kakka-kka! Here, sit down and let me make you a cup of tea.
"At ......, thank you.
I've come this far, so I had no choice but to sit down, and then Keiji-dono quietly began to make a cup of tea.
The movements of Keiji-dono are very refined and show his mastery of the etiquette. A man also knows the tea ceremony, but his gestures are far more beautiful than any other.
The man's writing is unimaginably excellent.
After a few moments of silence, his tea was ready and offered to a man. He takes a sip and breathes a sigh of relief.
How do you like it?
You are very welcome. ...... Keizi-dono, why did you bring a man here?
The tea was indeed delicious. You can call it excellent, but I don't know what Keiji-dono's intentions were.
"Don't be in such a hurry to live, Katsuzo.
"......!
You can't imagine the calmness of Keitsugu-dono's usual appearance. It seems that he resembles your father in some way.
'Katsuzou, you are putting too much emotion into your spear. It is not only a good idea to have a good idea of what you're doing, but also a good idea to have a good idea of what you're doing. It's a good idea to have a good idea of what to expect.
...... What was the point of ten years of just recklessly training for ......?
A decade of a certainty was in vain. ...... When I thought that, I thought I heard the sound of the scaffolding collapsing away unexpectedly. What to do, what to do! This is no way to face the young master and father!
I was so frustrated and disappointed that I couldn't stop crying. A big, warm hand was on the shoulder of a man.
I'm not a fool, it's not a waste of time. The efforts of Katsuzou will remain with you forever. It will continue to help you in the future.
"Katsura, remember to slow down and slow down. If you rush through everything, you are sure to fall down. You will be injured to the point that you won't be able to get back on your feet. ...... me and Kodomo are worried about you.
"Young Master ......
Yeah, they want me to do something to relax. Katsuzou is an oobawaku.
Ugh! ...... Sorry, young master! I am ashamed to say that I can't take care of myself and make my husband care for me.
"Huh, ...... It's a message from a little boy. I'll only say it once.
Young master? You will be able to get a better idea of what you are looking for.
It's not a matter of time before you get back on the road. It doesn't matter how slow your steps are, there is no need to rush. I'll walk with you, I'll walk with you.
"Oh ...... aaaaaaaaah!
I was so happy, so happy, I couldn't stop crying. I never dreamed that someone would walk with such a man.
Keitsugu-dono warmly supported the man as he broke down in tears. The man was here too; he just didn't see the man, but there must have been others who supported the man and walked with him.
A man was so foolish and happy!
I will always keep this feeling in mind. I will do my best to serve Waka-sama for the rest of my life, who made me realize that. One day, when I meet my father, I will be able to be proud of him. I have made up my mind to do so.
What's wrong, Katsuzo, what's wrong?
The next thing I knew, there was the young master standing in front of me. Oh, it seems that before I knew it, I had remembered that day.
I'm sorry. I was just thinking about it.
"Are you okay?
"Yes, thank you for your concern.
"If you want to go to ......
You will be very loving when you see Waka-sama looking at you with concern. I will repay you for this favor one day.
A man is an ordinary man. He is an ordinary man, he walks as slow as a turtle, yet his steps never stop.
You have already lit the flame in my heart.
