Mitsuhide Akechi, Ten Years old
Upon receiving a message from Kujo-sama, I led the soldiers to Honnoji Temple during the dark night.When I arrived, Honnoji Temple was already wrapped in flames because I left it in the vanguard.
"... Dear Sir..."
Oh, what a coward I am.Even though I let my subordinates dirty my hands, I was driven by regret in front of me.You stupid idiot!
I will not be the protagonist of the tragedy, but just a great sinner.As if he were ready, a line of blood fell from his fist.
As the sun rose and the people of Kyoto who perceived the situation fled, they were searching for his body at the Honnoji Temple, where the fire had been extinguished.
You can easily imagine the splash of blood everywhere and the spectacular scattering of His Majesty's crowd.
I looked at their bodies in a daze.
"Yasuke... Ranmaru..."
I wonder why I'm not there.I wonder why I'm alive.I don't know what I'm doing... but if it's true, shouldn't I die like them after all I've done to be loyal?
Every time I think about it, my chest is about to rip open.
"A proud samurai who served his loyalty.Arrange to mourn respectfully. "
"Haha!
When I gave instructions to my surname, I looked up at the sky to hide the tears that struck unexpectedly.... that's all I can do.
After that, the seven bodies discovered from the site of Honnoji Temple were arranged in front of me.
"I'm sorry.Too much damage to tell which of Nobunaga's remains. "
A minister reporting with his shoulders down.Indeed, the black-black burnt bodies did not know who they were.
Kujo-sama ordered me to hand over the body or neck of Nobunaga Oda.Now, what is it...?
In front of me in trouble, I brought a newly discovered body from the built-in assistant.
"My lord! Please check this!
"...... nnh! That's it!
The body found by the built-in assistant was a crouching object as if it had been hungry.It seemed like I decorated the last time by myself without anyone wearing it beside me.
"This is Nobunaga's body.... increase your victory. "
Uh-oh!!! Yes, sir! Aaahhhhhhhhhhhh!!!
While the ministers were winning, I left the scene behind.To hide the helpless tears.
"... I'm sorry... I'm so sorry..."
--I will follow you immediately.
Carefully wrap your body in cloth and take it to Kujo-sama's museum.When I entered the garden, Kujo-sama already appeared.
"Akechi Hinatsu, I've just arrived.Kujo-sama told me..... "
Okay, let's go show Nobunaga his body.
"... hah"
Kujo-sama hurried me to hand over his body.Kujo-sama was delighted to unravel the cloth at first, but when she saw the body, she narrowed her eyebrows and exposed her irritability.
"Dear Mandate, is this Nobunaga's body? It's black and burning, and I don't really know.You're not fooling me, are you?
"Even taking into account the location and circumstances of the discovery, I doubt it is the remains of Nobunaga Oda....."
"... then, is that good?"
A small sigh of breath at the word.It's over... because I thought so.
However, Kujo-sama was not such a sweet man.
"There is Oda Nobutada at Myokuji Temple.By now, you'll be in Nijo Castle.Hurry up and fight. "
"Eh... why... strange..."
Oddly enough, Tokugawa-den will be entertained in Sakai! Therefore, even if things happened at Honnoji Temple, it was decided that there was nothing weird about it!
Why did you come to Myokuji Temple!?
While such a question filled my head, Kujo-sama's faint and creepy smile was reflected in my vision.
"Ah, no way..."
"Ho ho... ho ho... ho ho ho! We're not gonna let you get away with this, are we? If Nobunaga's successor were alive, there would be no point in killing Nobunaga.Therefore, Nobutada was also called to Kyoto.I made Nobunaga write a sentence on purpose.... "
"I'm a fool"... I couldn't face Kujo-sama laughing like that.
The anger that makes your body tremble dominates.
What, "I wish I were hit by a strange way"...! Too shallow an idea, too sweet a prospect.It is my responsibility to bring this about!
When I mourned my own indecency, I was surprised to hear Kujo-sama's words.
"Ahh... only that Heavenly Woman should be captured alive.I'm going to love you for the rest of my life next to you.Ho ho... ho ho! I'm looking forward to seeing how you cry.Ho ho ho ho!
"...... three...... Master...... to...... hand......!"
"Hmm? What are you doing! Hurry, hold the head of your loyalty! It's too late to betray me now! You'll live as a doll until your life runs out!
"…………………………"
I lay flat deep behind the hall.
... I suppose it was this time.It was when I was able to regain the heart that I was forced to seal.
--I live for loyalty.
Afterwards, even though I secretly tried to protect strange people, I was prevented from doing so by loyalists who swore allegiance to the Oda family.It's the result of taking another noble life.
Still, I thought I had to protect Anjo Castle somehow...Apparently, I underestimated the Three Wizards.
I noticed my rebellion as soon as I could, and I rushed to Anjo Castle.An unexpected counter-attack using a large cylinder.Luck that appeared in dramatic situations.
All of them were two young masters and two melons.The Three Wizards are crushing me... such hope has passed my head.
After quelling the unrest in Kyoto, he led the army to Sakamoto Castle.To... talk about what's coming.
Welcome home, sir!!!
"... ahh, thank you for welcoming me"
Haha! Thank you very much!!!
You know my treason, but the people in the house greeted me without any offense.On the contrary, it turns me into a caring gaze.
I was... a loser!
As I trembled at everyone's concern, I heard the voice of my beloved child.
"Father, get up!
"Fifteen..."
"Are the rumors in Kyoto sincere!?
"... not sincere"
"......! Why?! Father, isn't he... your most loyal servant!? Why are you doing this.... "
I had no choice but to look down with a sad expression on my face.It was undoubtedly myself who nurtured Fifteen's loyalty to the Oda family.
I feel terrible disgust at myself who broke it.You deserve it...
"Fifteen, I need to talk to you about this.Come with me. "
"... I see."
Unfortunately, she stroked her chest down to a convincing figure and slowly headed to her private room.
Fifteen brothers have a duty to know everything.And I was going to tell you what I was going to do.
"So, what the hell are you talking about....."
"... you don't have to say anything else from now on."
The conversation that began with that premise lasted for about a moment.Fifteen brothers were crying and listening to each other silently until the end.
"... this is the truth of the matter."
I thought I'd be scolded.No matter what the circumstances, betrayal is betrayal.I risked my family's life in a place unknown to me.
... that's unacceptable.
However, contrary to expectations, fifteen lang did not change his calm expression.
"... I am also a samurai child.Cut your belly with your father's sins.No one in the house complains.... that's the virtue my father has accumulated. "
"... fifteen!
I didn't know how to stop the overflowing tears.My beloved son who was born between her beloved son and her beloved son.
This year, it's already fourteen...You really grew up well.It didn't bend, it just grew straight to the point of clumsiness.
That's... that's what makes me so happy.I'm sure Sadako will be delighted from above.
--That's why I want you to live.
"Fifteen... your lord is fleeing.You will escape and survive because of the few people in the house. "
"No, what are you talking about?!
Control with your right hand the fifteen gentlemen who are in a hurry.
"I've already spoken to my councillors.He's already on his way to Anjo Castle as a messenger.We will leave Sakamoto Castle as soon as possible.Hide in that shadow and run. "
"That's not true....."
The plan is already under way.Telego was prepared for the danger.Now, if those in Anjo Castle hated me and united me, there would be no more results.
Besides, if more than 10,000 troops move, it will be a good sight.
Now, you can hold the body of the fifteen who can cry to death as tightly as you can.All you have to do is hug my beloved child, whom you will never hold again.
"You may discard the name of wisdom.I want you to live and survive, and be loyal to the Oda family one day when the crisis is imminent. "
"I'm so sorry for being such a bad father! It will cause a great deal of trouble to the fifteen and the rest of the family.Most of them will be executed. "
"But please remember.I want you to be proud.There was a man who risked his life for you... for sure. "
"......! Yes, sir! I will surely survive and leave my father's will to future generations! But don't worry! I will overcome any hardships that await me! Because my father is the best samurai in Japan!!!
"......! Fifteen!"
The cry from my heart certainly reached fifteen.I hugged her back so hard that her smile was filled with happiness...
--Ah, there's no more practice.I'll finish everything with my hands.
