August, Tensho 9: Hakone Fujihime

I got to experience the horror and nobility of people at the same time on this day.

"U...... ugh ...... ughhhhhhhhhh!

Yeah ...... yeah. You've been working hard. I'm glad you've lasted this long. From now on, I'll take care of you.

The white girl broke down in tears and was gently supported by the Master of Buddhism. I felt a beautiful love for her, too beautiful to be true.

When I think about it, it may have been from this day onward that I began to love the Master of Buddhism from the bottom of my heart.

The first time I met Master Koboji was at Odawara Castle.

After receiving the signal from your father as planned, I was led by a small farmer into the hall.

First impressions would be so adorable baby ......? I had heard that they were two years old, but I didn't realize that such a youngster had actually come to Sagami.

Because from what I've heard from the maidservants, it's hard to believe that they are so young.

The activities of the masters in Kyoto were well known around the world, and they received a lot of tribute from noblemen and feudal lords everywhere.

He successfully defeated the tyrannical gangsters in Kyoto and received the praise of the Emperor.

To top it all off, he led his vassals all the way from Gifu to Sagami, a long way away from the city. ...... It's not the energy of just two young children, but a misrepresentation of their age, isn't it? I had my doubts.

But when I opened the lid, I found that such an adorable baby was really coming to Sagami. ...... The world is a big place.

When I smiled and saw her face turn bright red, it was so adorable and it seemed to warm my heart. It's really cute!

After introductions, as I was chatting with Master Sambhogakaya, Father suddenly came into view.

I'm not sure how much of it is exactly what you're expecting ...... to see as you look at me with a meaningful smile on your face.

The day I heard from my father that his sergeant Oda was going to visit us, the whole house was preparing for it from a month ago. Suddenly, I received a call from his father.

"Fuji, you've decided who you're going to marry.

...... I see. I'm ready for it.

What your father told you is inevitable for anyone who is born the daughter of a warrior.

Naturally, I was prepared for this.

The other party is Sanboshi, the direct grandson of Mae-Ufu-sama and son of Lieutenant General Gifu.

"...... eh?

I am embarrassed to say that I was taken aback. Speaking of Sanboshi-sama, he is the same name as the one who is preparing to greet you with the whole house.

There is no reason for a stranger with the same name in this situation, but you are still the same person.

But what does it mean when you and Oda-sama should have wanted to marry your brother?

I'm not sure if he knew about my doubts, but he grinned and laughed meaningfully.

It's just a matter of doing what they want you to do.

I heard that you visit ...... to deepen your knowledge of Buddhism?

You will not have to come to Sagami for that. You can't go to Sagami for that. It's a good idea to bring in people who are skilled in learning.

That's right, it was a blind spot. From what I heard about you, Master Sambhogakkara, I thought that you should be able to come to Sagami.

If so, why would you marry me?

"I believe that Master Sambhosi's aim is to use my Hojo family as a backstop. If all goes well, the hegemony of the world will be handed over to the Three Hokage. But that's decades away, and he's determined to take the initiative in ruling Kanto, a land that has little to do with Oda. You can't imagine that they are only two young children, I want to make a connection with them no matter what.

The official marriage of the three Buddhist monks and I will be married after the Genji ......, but I will be old enough to bear children by then, so there will be no problem.

The marriage to Sanboshi-sama was unexpected, but from the Hojo family's point of view, it was not something they could have hoped for. As the daughter of a warrior, let's be brilliant for your house!

...... Just one thing I've wondered.

But you are well informed. The marriage alliance between the Oda family and the Hojo family is something that Oda-sama must not be aware of, is it not?

"Phew! Master Sambhogakkara is well aware of the effectiveness of the ninja, but you are still young. It's just that my wind demon is a cut above you. Hahaha!

I can't help but sigh when I see him laughing up high and proud. You will be able to find out what is going on in the world.

You will be able to find out what is going on in the world. At first, I was afraid of his immeasurable wisdom, but Master Kobo-Daishi was always kind to me.

The way he was struggling to please me was so cute, and he used his rare wisdom only for my benefit. There was nothing more gratifying for a woman than to see you use your rare wisdom exclusively for me.

I was naturally drawn to it, and I wanted to be of service to you .......

You can't get rid of them.

It is said that if she had been born a man, she would certainly have become a warrior of the first rank. Since we were the same age, we had been close friends since long ago, and when I proposed the idea of a side room, she answered immediately and agreed.

To be honest, I have never felt so relieved as I did at that moment. If she were here, she would be of great help to the three Dharma Masters.

...... Well, the two of us can monopolize the favor of the three Dharma masters ...... not without thinking so.

It's a good thing that you're able to have a good time with your friends.

However, the Master, who presented himself to the people to save the white girl and leaped in front of them, was so beautiful and full of precious radiance that I found myself admiring him.

He convinced the people to go on a rampage and healed the heart of the wounded girl. His appearance, like a hero in a story, made my heart dance, as did that of Princess Kai.

"Princess Fuji, it seems that Master Sambhoge is not as weak as we can protect him.

"Yes, it's like ....... ......

It is a very good thing that you have the ability to make a good impression. It's not just a matter of time before you get to the point where you're going to be able to get your hands on some of the things that you've done.

I was unconsciously downcast, but Princess Kai gently admonished me.

You mustn't lament your own helplessness! Because in addition to protecting you, there is so much more we can do for you! We will support you in our own way, Princess Fuji! Even if not in force, until we support it with wisdom and healing.

Kaihime closed her mouth and turned to face the Master with a soft smile on her face.

"I have fallen in love with you from the bottom of my heart after this one incident! There is no other hero like Master Sambhava. I am honored to be married to such a person. I couldn't be more honored. ...... Fujihime, too, right?

Kaihime's words soaked into my heart effortlessly. It's so true. It seems that I've fallen in love with the Three Lawyers Master from the bottom of my heart.

I love his gaze and his words more than anything else.

I thought he was like a younger brother to protect, but I see the Three Lawyers Master as a man.

Then there is no need to disguise your thoughts. Because Master Sambodhi is my beloved fiancée.

Oh, I love you, ...... master.
