June 2010 Mitsuhide Kyoto Akechi
After bidding farewell to Shingoro, we left Sakamoto Castle for Kyoto.The purpose is to... ascertain the emperor's sincerity.
That day, Kujo-sama indeed said, "Killing Nobunaga is the general rule of the Imperial Court."At that time, I only felt despair, but now I feel one discomfort.
I don't know what "general" meant...Did they all agree unanimously, or were they general because they contained the opposition?
In the latter case... Sole will be the key to ending this battle.
The target was found immediately.You can't stand a door in a man's mouth.Therefore, if such a big thing is imprisoned, man opens his mouth.
I don't know who's listening to that.
A museum in Kyoto. The building, which was used until a few years ago, was abandoned by the breakdown of the house and is now managed by a certain public house.
The old mansion, with its minimal controls, had its target quarantined.
"... former Taiwanese minister... no, Kintemae Hisaku.Thank you very much for your safety. "
"Jubei...?I see... it's already too late. "
Kintetsu, who had met me for a long time, looked very upset, and looked at me with distant eyes as if he had understood something.
"Kintetsu. Someone came today....."
"Is this about... Article 9 of the Imperial Court?
"Did you know...?"
"Hmm. Let's tell the Jubei... everything.You have the right to know everything. "
In order to block my words, Kintetsu cut out the conversation.This time... tell me the truth.
"In the imperial court, we broke up with the reformist pro-Oda faction and the anti-Oda faction, which tried to preserve tradition.The leader of the pro-Oda faction is Taiwan, and the leader of the anti-Oda faction is... "
"Kujo and Takashi-sama..."
"... that's what I'm saying."
"Although disrespectful... the emperor..."
"The Emperor said, 'It is impossible for Oda to despise me.'I don't want to see Mr. Kujo and Mr. Oda compete... "
"So the Emperor didn't limit the Oda family, did he?
"Of course. This time, it was revealed with a big mourning."
Looking at Kintetsu nodding without strength, my stomach settled.I saw the way forward.
"The pro-Oda sect, in addition to Nijo Akimi, was founded on his son Nobunaga.In addition to Kujo and Takashi, the anti-Oda sect is also known for its Kujo Uchiki and Kanji Temple Sutra.There are others, but there are many neutrals who are not sure where to go.If the whole is ten, the pro-Oda school is three, the anti-Oda school is five, and the neutrality is two. "
"Half of the imperial court is anti-Oda.However, it is not enough to carry out the assassination.That's why you imprisoned Kone-sama, the leader of the pro-Oda sect?
"... I'm sorry! Protect your old friend while he's not worthy! Ha-ha-ha! I'm so embarrassed!!!
Kinte-sama, weeping in regret, was like a mirror photograph with me.I had no choice but to watch my friends grieve and mourn.
Indeed, if Kintetsu's story is true, half of the Imperial Court is the enemy.But everything in the court wasn't the enemy.The Emperor didn't limit the Oda family either! It's not the worst.
If this is the case, you may be able to change depending on your readiness.This... rotten court...
"Kintetsu, it's dangerous here.I want to protect myself at Kameyama Castle. "
"I appreciate that, but... is that okay?
Respond with a smile to Kintetsu who lowers his eyebrows and looks sorry.Who knows the danger, and has penetrated His side.It is only natural that you should return the favor.
"Of course.I will definitely try to protect you.But I need one favor. "
Um, let me try.
"That 's--"
It seems that the content was enough to surprise Kintetsu.Her face turned pale and she finally fell down on her face.
"Why, why! Good people like the Tokubei have to endure such suffering! uu... uu... uu... "
Shizukuzuku fell on the tatami mat.Like a goodbye, like a mourning... falling.
I took a sentence out of my pocket and presented it to Kintetsu.To entrust everything.
Kintetsu, thank you very much
June Ten Year Old Kameyama Castle Akechi Mitsuhide
Your consciousness returns with the clacking sound of wood burning.I seem to have remembered unexpectedly the turbulent days of the past month.
"I'm old, too, like I'm passing away, grieving and weeping.... I'm still dying.Would it be? …………………………………………………… "
"Mhhhh!!!
Turning to him, he saw Kujo and Takashi tied up by ropes.Before the Oda army gathered, they grabbed where they were in the Kyoto museum.
"Mhhh!! Mhh!!!
"You're such a loud man...."
Unfortunately, when I untied the rope that had been fixed to my mouth, a storm of cursing and abuse approached.
"Come, you!!! Do you know what happens when you do this to her?!? You and the Oda family will be destroyed!!!
"Well... I will destroy the Oda family anyway...What are you going to do?
"It is clear that you were not hostile to the Oda family! Still stupid and malicious, it's only a matter of time before I strip Oda's fangs again!!! Your wasteful foot scratch is the ultimate pleasure ~ ho ho ho ho!!
Return the humiliating laughter with laughter to Kujo and Takashi.Still, it was really funny that I didn't realize that I had drowned in the plan I had set myself up.
"Indeed, my heart is still in the Oda family.But does the court notice that?
"What the hell!!
He talks one by one to Kujo and Takashi, who reveals his anger.See what I do from a third party.
"I attacked Honnoji Temple, killed my master, killed my compatriots in Nijo Castle, and declared war on the young gentleman in Anjo Castle.Later, he captured the Duke in Kyoto and fought the Oda army in Old Nosaka Pass.My actions will rightly be regarded as a rebel. "
"Ha!? Gruuuuu!
When I saw him dyed in anger, I felt a little angry.Yes... I am the right rebel.
A great sinner who killed his master and killed his compatriots.I don't expect to be forgiven anymore.I... must not be forgiven.
So let's finish everything with this hand.I can't leave my impudence to the next generation.
I reached out to the dagger I was standing on and quietly freed myself from the sheath.
Slowly head to Kujo and Takashi with his sword in one hand.There is no doubt in the steps, only thinking about swinging the guilty plea blade.
Seeing such a lewd atmosphere, Kujo and Takashi began to beg for shameful orders.
"Wait! Are you trying to kill me?! Stop it! I know who you are! There is one Gosei, the seventeenth generation of the Nine-jo family, before the current Kanbai Nine-jo and filial piety!? A bastard like you is saying things like harming a man! As a morning enemy, you will burn in Hellfire!!!
"... I don't want to go to the Pure Land more than bare.I don't think I can go.We're on our way to hell.There you will atone for your misdeeds. "
Step by step, step by step.
"Are you going to show loyalty to Nobunaga now!? Then, you stupid man! It's too late! As a rebel, you will be inscribed forever! No one will forgive you! It ends without anyone knowing the truth! This is your self-satisfaction!!!
The words of Kujo and Takashi pierced his chest with a blade.Yeah, that's right. My thoughts are just personal.It's just complacency.
... but!!! That's not why I missed you!!!
"... Kujo and Takashi, I can't keep a man like you alive.No evil like you can stand in the way of Taipei. "
Another step closer.I was already in front of Kujo and Takashi.Then shake it big.
"Personal grievances, self-satisfaction, very good.I should have killed you and cut my belly when I fought you! I made it ugly, and I made it worse.I made a mistake! You can at least make amends!!!
"No, stop it!!!
"Live faithfully and die faithfully! That was the real choice I had to make!!!
"U... woaaaaaaaa!!!
--Slash
The blade that cut off all business easily cut off Kujo and Takashi's neck and rolled to the tatami mat mat.
Open your clothes and insert a dagger into your stomach as you bathe your body with blood.
"Ghh! Nhhhh!!!!
With burning pain, your awareness fades away.The Oda soldiers will be here shortly.A fire of that magnitude is not enough to burn out just because the smoke rises.
If only my body was recovered, I can use it as a decoy.Then the Oda family's prestige will be preserved.
Sagamasuke... Telego... built-in help... you've served me well so far.Thank you very much.
Fifteen... balls... I don't know, master.
Master... strange... Master Sanju... I'm sorry.
Yoshiko... I wonder if I've done well...
"I don't want any money... no honor...I didn't expect to be understood...I don't know if I'll ever get forgiven...I... just... wanted to see the world of Taipei.Dear lords and ministers... with my beloved family... "
"I don't know, everybody smiled... merciful... unreasonably... there's no life in danger... that such a world will come..."
June 23, 1910 at noon.
Akechi Mitsuhide harmed herself. I'm 67 years old.
Here, a month-long battle ended.
When I woke up, I was in a dark, dark space.
I can't hear anything, I can't feel anything.The darkness is endless everywhere.
"Is this hell...?"
"... you!"
I glanced back at the nostalgic voice that I heard unexpectedly.There was a picture of her beloved wife, Sadako.
As it stood, it was rising in the darkness.
"Congratulations. You"
"Why are you here..."
"I've been waiting.I've been looking for you. Because I swore to be with you. "
I couldn't see her with a beautiful smile.I feel sorry for myself.
"My master... killed my countrymen.I can't go to the Pure Land.I'm sorry... Sadako... "
Your tears are falling down.Yoshiko was a wonderful woman.I can definitely go to the Pure Land.I'm going to hell, and I have to break up here.
It's good to finally meet you again.When I thought of that, I was unexpectedly hugged by Sadako.
"I'll go to hell with you.I'll walk with you... wherever you want. "
"......! Noko!!!
"Congratulations... Mr. Tsubei!"
That said, there was a thin tear in her eyes that smiled.
You're leaning against me when you cry.
To celebrate those two, the light wrapped warmly.
