July, Tensho 9, Odawara
Oh, here we are! It's been a long boat ride! It was pretty hard work, but it was fun.
Thanks to Keiji, we didn't have to worry about food, but after all, with a ship of this era, you can't get to your destination in one breath. We followed the terrain, making stops along the way to replenish our supplies along the way. ...... It took us longer than expected.
There were some pirate-looking guys, but they weren't that strong, so it wasn't a problem.
We probably ran into them in Numazu, but the local fishermen helped us out and gave us a lot of horse mackerel, they were good people. I'd love to stop by on the way back.
Oh, and the view of Mt. Fuji from the boat was exceptional! In my previous life, I never thought about it that way, but I guess Mt.
In this day and age, we can't go there easily, so maybe we appreciate it even more.
We made it to Odawara in one piece, but there was only one thing that troubled us. There's only one problem, though: she's behind me.
"Tono~too~too~!
Hugging me and turning into a completely spoiled animal is Tsubaki from the White Lily Squadron.
She caught up with us just before we left port. It's a long way from Azuchi to Hamamatsu, but she made it through in just one day.
She must have worked tirelessly, because she slept for three days and three nights after handing me her sentence. I have deep respect for her dedication.
Thanks to Tsubaki, I was able to successfully get a reply from my grandfather. Now I can negotiate with the Hojo family, thank you very much.
However, I wish you would stop hugging them at all hours of the day. I'm sure you said you'd fulfill your reward for anything: .......
And finally, we arrived at Odawara Castle. Even from a distance, I was overwhelmed by the grandeur of the castle. When Shingoro told me that the castle town was part of the castle, I thought it was silly ...... but this is amazing.
As I recall, Hideyoshi conscripted troops from lords all over the country to destroy the Hojo family? How many people were there? About 500,000?
Well, anyway, I guess I thought I should attack with that many.
I can certainly understand that. If we are holed up in a castle, we won't be able to do anything. It seems like we could be self-sufficient in the castle, so there's no point in trying to feed ourselves.
In addition, the fact that there are still plans to expand the building feels like a kind of madness.
As I was lost in thought while looking at Odawara Castle, I saw a crowd of people up ahead. Judging by the fact that they came out of the castle, I wondered if the Hojo family's vassals had come for them. I guess I was a bit too dazed.
As I hurriedly got into position, I could see my opponent. The man standing in the front is the man of yesteryear, his head is shaved, but he's definitely not a monk.
It's a good thing that you have a good idea of what you're looking for.
I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make your life easier and more enjoyable.
It's a pleasure to welcome you, Sanbhoshi. I am a retired Buddhist priest. I have retired, so please feel free to call me Dōken.
Good evening. Thank you for coming to our office. Thank you for taking the trouble to pick me up.
He seems like a nice guy. You've gone out of your way to greet me, so I'll just follow you.
This is polite. I'm sure a certain person will be able to guide you through the rest of this.
That would be great. I'd appreciate it.
"Hahaha! Tonight's feast will be a lot of fun! The whole house is preparing for the reception, and Tono has been restless since this morning. ...... They have been looking forward to the arrival of the three Dharma masters for a long time.
"Hahaha that's great, thank you.
What's that! How much do you expect? Haha ...... my stomach hurts, well, I know how the Hojo family feels. I'm going to do my best.
It's a good idea to be able to have a good time with them. But it's too quiet or too quiet, or maybe ...... something happened? Especially Shingoro, who was shaking and shaking.
I was curious, so I called him over to me and asked him a question that I didn't want others to hear.
He said, "Shingoro, what happened? Everyone looks funny.
"No, ......, so ......
His eyes are swimming and his goggle-eyed demeanor ...... Honestly, it's an unusual attitude for a goggle-eyed person, and it's something out of character. Yes, guilty.
Spit.
"Ha!
Tsubaki, who instantly got behind Shingoro, is muttering something with his hands around his neck. Probably saying something like, 'Don't bother Tono's hand.
This attitude towards the Oda family's senior vassal is completely out of character. I'm not sure I'll ever be able to get over the wall between my master and the rest of them. ...... I'm a little nervous about Tsubaki's future.
...... Now, a glimpse of something flickered in Tsubaki's hand, but I'm sure it was my imagination.
It's not just a matter of time before you're ready.
...... Do you know that guy?
Shingoro, slightly pale, pointed weakly forward. Beyond that was the sense of the road.
'Is that a yumei?
That person is Hojo Magokuro Tsunanari-dono. He is the man who led the Yellow Ware Corps, one of the main forces of the Hojo family's Goshiki Ware, and performed with great distinction on many battlefields.
"Did you feel lucky?
If Uesugi Kenshin, the god of war, was an incarnation of Bishamonten, then that godson must have been an incarnation of Hachiman-daibosatsu. It is said that Lord Shingen was also afraid of his bravery: ......
Geez! That's a monster, the same level as the God of War! I'm not sure why such a person would come to meet you.
It's not just a matter of time before you'll be able to get your hands on some of the most popular products and services.
It's a good thing that you're able to get the most out of it.
It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a warrior of the East. When Ujiyasu-dono died, he handed over the governorship to his son and retired, I heard. ...... I didn't expect to meet him here. I am filled with emotion.
Dexterously revealing his joy in a small voice, Shingoro, there was a gleam in his eye, his body was trembling with joy.
For all intents and purposes, he is an enthusiastic fan. I mean, it's not like Shin Goro would even call his opponent "Gohin" to show his respect.
It's just like the face my sister, who used to be an idol fan, showed me right after the handshake event.
It's time to give him some candy.
It's time to give him some candy.
"Huh! ...... Waka-sama, is it true?
His tone is polite, but his eyes are bleary and honestly scary. Come on, you're a tough guy.
You don't forget that there are people behind you, do you? Perhaps sensing the color of my fear, Tsubaki's eyes began to set. Any more and my life would be in danger.
I'm not going to be able to get rid of you. Let's just be that person.
"Thank you!
I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make it work for you.
It's a good thing that you're able to have a good time with them. Well, consider it a good way to relax.
I'm not sure if it's a good idea, but I'm sure it's a good idea. No, I'm getting too young! You look like you're close to fifty! That muscle boy, what a looks cheater!
