Shirakuchijo Castle, Ten Years Old
In early October, the trees dried up. In normal years, it was time for a festival to celebrate the harvest, but the Nagasobe family could not afford that.
"Your Highness, each of the 3,000 soldiers is in position! According to the sights, the hostiles are not moving! "
Well then, check your stockpile! The opponent is Daimyo Oda! It's going to be a long fight. Be prepared! "
Thank you!
Confirming that the minister had fallen, he accidentally slammed his fist against the pillar.Unpleasant metal sounds echo through the room, distorting your face and looking at enemies you can't see from here.
"It was just a little later! Soon, Shikoku reunification, the longing of the Nagabe family, will be achieved! We can build peace in these four countries in a little while! This is it... this is it!! "
With tears dripping on my cheeks, I am determined to fight to the end.Even if I run out, I can't give up.
This is 3,000 against 40,000 Oda.As a result, I realize my defeat at the desperate power difference.But I can't help thinking about it.I have an oath!
"I... have to build a world of peace in these four countries.That's why I'm not afraid to die.I'm more afraid of abandoning my thoughts... "
That is the important promise I made with Mr. Tsubei.Even if no one understands you, you can't frustrate yourself here.
Fist as tight as you can.The sky looked up unexpectedly, reflecting memories of Tokubei-sama.
--Dear Tokubei-sama... why did someone like you die in the middle of your dreams...
My cry melted into space without anyone asking.
It's been a long time since I met Tokubei-sama.Even though the Nagasobu family, which was only one luxury of Tosa, was able to flourish to the Lord of Tosa, it was all thanks to the efforts of Akechi Tokubei-sama.The connection between Mr. Tsukiji and me connected me to Mr. Tsubei!
An alliance with the Oda family under heaven would not have been possible without Tokubei-sama.Therefore, I owe a great deal to the Tokubei-sama.
One day I was conscious that I should never waste this opportunity brought to me by Tokubei-sama.The Tokubei-sama came all the way to Okatomi Castle.
"Long time no see, Mr. Chang Sobe.How are you? "
"Haha! Thank you very much.Oda, we are working hard every day to meet Akechi-sama's expectations!!! "
When he lowered his head deeply, the cheerful laughter of the Tokubei-sama fell.
"Hahaha! You look better than anything.But it's a little stiff. Mr. Nagasobe will walk with each other from now on.You don't have to be so bad to me? "
"Me, there is no disillusionment! Even though there is the Nagasobe family now, everything was done by Akechi-sama! I can't even pretend to be rude to Wise Master Dai Yun!!! "
"Haha... don't worry about it..."
I had no choice but to bow my head to Tokei-sama, who smiled bitterly in trouble.Such a wonderful personality appreciated me.
And shame not upon Him.
That's what I swore at this time.
Later, on his way to his room, Mr. Tsubei stopped and looked out.
Akechi-sama?
………………
There was no response from the voice, and I followed Mr. Tsubei's gaze to see what happened.Then he saw his sons, Sen Xiong Maru and Four Son Sen Kun Maru, playing amicably.
When my beloved child's cheeks were relaxed, Tokubei-sama stared at us gently.
"Lord Nagasobe is a thoughtful father to his son who doesn't follow the rumors."
"No... haha"
Cheeking ashamed, Mr. Tsubei smiled happily, saying, "There is no shame."
Speaking of which... I've heard that Jubei-sama is kind to his family.When such an idea passed my head, I was surprised to hear Mr. Tsubei murmuring.
"We must build a world where all the people living in Nippon can live with a smile without fighting."
Tsubei-sama looked at me with a serious look once she separated the conversation.
"I... master wants to build a world without war.We believe it is our duty to calm the world of war and build a world of Taipei. "
"A world without war....."
I've never thought about it before.For me, who has continued to fight as usual, the words of Tokubei-sama felt like a dream story.
An unexpected wish from Nobunaga Oda, who is rumored to be brutal and outrageous.Turning to find out the true meaning of the word, there was a surprisingly gentle smile of the Tokubei-sama.
- When Taipei's world comes, there will be no future for your children to lose their lives unreasonably.
"......!"
The words of Tokubei-sama shocked me like never before.I asked him to hold his trembling body still.
"Really... really, really, is that the future coming? Will there come a world where my beloved child can truly live his life? "
Then, when Tokubei-sama smiled with a merciful look, she put her hand on my shoulder.
"We only get closer to the world of Taipei, which we want, for as long as we go along with our desire for peace.Let's do our best, Your Highness.I can mourn the people... if you want to protect someone you care about, I'm sure you can walk with me.Let's do our best together. To build the world of Taipei..... "
"Ha, yes... yes..."
Shizukuzukuishi stayed the same, and I agreed with the thoughts of Tokubei-sama.The way I wished for Taipei's world was my hope.
The world of Taipei may come.My beloved child may no longer spend a night frightened by enemy raids.... you may no longer need to live in a warlike hell for the rest of your life...
Such pale expectations rushed around your chest without packing up.I never dreamed that the Tokubei-sama would start a rebellion at this time.
When I noticed it, I noticed that the sky was dyed at sunset.I think I've wasted a lot of time nostalgizing the past.
"Dear Tokubei-sama....."
Now the face of the deceased benefactor is passing through your brain.I don't think Tokubei-sama is going to start a rebellion for any reason.Something must have happened.There's nothing but a rebellion...
I don't know if I can trust the Oda family now.Perhaps Shigemitsu is doing what he likes to do with the young child as a god.
If so, we cannot afford to lose.To build the world of Taipei, we can't let those who don't want Sole take over the world's hegemony.
"Dear Tokubei-sama... I made an oath with you.This elder Sogabe will surely make it happen. "
