Kameoka, Ten Years Old
The battle against Akechi Mitsuhide ended with the victory of the Oda family.When Tensei burned, he was all stunned, but contrary to his expectations, the fire did not turn, and he found Akechi Mitsuhide who was cut in a hungry state.
Next to that, the body with the neck cut off rolled, and it was later found to be the body of Kujo and Takashi.
Another captive Duke, Kintetsumae Kumae, was safely protected and is now in a room in the hall for medical treatment.
While Akechi Mitsuhide's ministers were mostly killed, Katsusaburo Ikeda captured Rizo Saito and Nobuko Fujita.It's the most powerful form of kung fu!
After all, I wonder if it's a difference in mood.Katsusaburo was different from the others in his intention to fight this battle.When the grandfather was attacked, Katsusaburo was more angry than any of his ministers.
Indeed, Katsusaburo is my grandfather's brother-in-law.In other words, I'm familiar with it. I guess I felt deeper friendship with my grandfather than anyone else.
The power of thought... it was a battle that I felt.
While everyone was finishing the fight, I was on my way with my father to Kintetsu Mae Jiu.
"Excuse me."
"Oh... Gifu Hall, Tenni Hall, good to see you.I apologize for the inconvenience..... "
"No, the Emperor gave me an imperial order, and above all, I have no hesitation in saving my father's old friend."
"... you've made a splendid choice..."
In the room, there is a nice atmosphere that calms the mind, although it is a simple construction.
In that room, Kintetsu Mae Ku, lying on the floor, seemed to have lost his temper.Perhaps he was mentally pushed by being captured by Akechi Mitsuhide.
Apparently, they didn't treat me like I was underground, but it was a fact that I was confined.That alone is a trauma-level disaster.
I want you to take care of it slowly.
After the three of them laughed for a while, Kintetsu suddenly murmured as he lay face down.
"... what happened to Jubei?
It was a small voice that disappeared, but it certainly did.I looked at my father and talked with a smile to reassure him.
"Thank you very much.It's all a mess, it's all a mess. "
"... that's right... I'm glad! uu... Jubei... uuu... "
Kintetsu murmured as he squatted and cried.There was no other way to react apart from our imagination.
At this time, I didn't dream of Kobe mourning Mitsuhide's death.
Um, Kintetsu?
"Jubei Ha! You're not supposed to die! I loved Oda more than anyone!
"......! Son of a bitch! What...? "
Kintetsu's shouting is incomprehensible.Even though he was his grandfather's right arm, he suddenly tried to kill even his betrayed father.
I didn't want to believe that such a man loved his grandfather.
But my father figured out what was going on with the nearby guard, and he took control of me when I got up.
"... Kintetsu, please tell me more"
When I saw my father correct his posture, I panicked and sat down.Kintetsu started talking about everything with a slight nose.Yes... everything.
"The Tokubei were threatened by Kujo and Takashi. If the Tokubei don't beat Oda, they'll just give orders to others! I told him I was going to make Oda my morning-enemy. "
"Kujo-sama...? Is that... sincere?
"Dear Left, the Tokubei decided to kill Oda after suffering alone.If you are made an enemy in the morning, Oda's troubles will all become blisters.Therefore, the Tokubei decided to be stigmatized as the great sinner of the rebellion. "
It was a shocking fact.
I didn't know Mitsuhide, who thought he was a traitor, had such a conflict.
"Then why did you capture Kinte-sama and Kujo-sama?
My father asked one question when I was being beaten to the truth by one person.
Then Kintetsu started talking with a crying face.
"Everything is caused by the trouble of this jar.Now, the court's feelings for the Oda family are complicated.He managed to take the Oda family and the Imperial Court, but Kujo and Kantao didn't like it. "
"I was in conflict...."
"... hmm. Will the Oda family have a great influence on the court, whether good or bad? Therefore, many people don't think it well.At that time, he was imprisoned by Kujo and Takashi's men.The Tokubei saved me and hid me in Kameyama Castle... that's the truth. "
Kintetsu lowered his head momentum as he delimited the conversation there.She squeezed the kimono on her body as hard as she could and kept crying as she trembled.
"... I'm sorry! If he had suppressed Kujo and the others, it wouldn't have been like this! The Tokubei will betray you! Oda and Gifu were never seriously injured! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!!
I couldn't help but stare at the weeping Kintetsu.However, the only thing on my chest is my feelings for Hikaru.
The reason why only Kujo Kandahiro was killed finally fell into my heart.Mitsuhide put on a kejime.With your own hands, you're hurting yourself.
When Kintetsu finished crying, he took a sentence out of his pocket and put it in front of us.
"This is a sentence entrusted to Jubei.After everything is over, I want you to give it to me.... "
"... excuse me."
When my father spreads the sentence in his hand, I read it as if I were peeking.Mitsuhide's thoughts were included in the sentence written in the "letter of apology".
Master, strange master, master of the three magicians.When you were reading this sentence, you must have heard everything from Kintetsu.
We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience I caused you.Please forgive me for the rudeness of sending an apology in such a sentence.
I can't see through the temptations of the imperial court, and I can't fulfill my responsibilities. I have no face to suit you.
That's why I'm going to take responsibility.Whatever the circumstances, it is unacceptable to point the blade at your master.
If you are kind, you may sympathize with my situation and forgive me.But I can't forgive myself.
When I assaulted my master who swore allegiance for a lifetime and killed his friend, I begged for forgiveness.Thank you for your shame.
Master, strange master, Master Sanjuji-san... I am truly sorry.I owe my gratitude to the unfaithful.
At the very least, it is there to make amends for evil and then go to hell.Please forgive me for escaping to the Land of the Yellow Spring without facing you.
With such a great sinner, I know it's a bit impolite.However, at the end of the day, I would like to thank you for your courtesy.
Please, build the world of Taipei under heaven.A world where the people of Japan can live their lives with a smile.A world free from unreasonable threats to life.Please sever the chain of grief called war.
That is all I ask of you.
I will never forget that you saved me from my destiny.
I was... happy. "
"...!!!!
A dripping tear soaked the text.
Mitsuhide never forgot his allegiance to the Oda family until the end! I wonder how much thoughts I put into the last words of the sentence!
I couldn't realize that Mitsuhide was suffering.I even crushed him as a rebel.Mitsuhide thinks so much about me!
"Sorry! Everybody!!! I am! Uhh... uhhh... uhhhhhhhhhh!!!
Squeeze the dagger in your pocket with tears.
I got a dagger from the Tokei Guard...
