January of the Eleventh Year of the Heavenly Church
The day after I declared Uesugi's conquest, I enjoyed a banquet with my stepfathers.I'm very glad you came all the way from Sagami to Anjo Castle.
But... oh no, I'm most glad you don't have to take extra care of the participants because they're family only.
It is not honesty to mount together with a cool face, like a nobleman.Well, there's no one who spits poison on me as the owner of the Oda family, but if we get along bad, we'll kill each other normally.
From what I've seen, it's a stomach pain case.
In that regard, the people here are different.
On my right hand are candidate Fujime, his real father Hojo Masaki, and his stepfather Naoto.On the left hand side are Princess Kai, a side room candidate, and his father, Mr. Narita, a Hojo family minister.
I wonder how comfortable this is because all the people who are comfortable are.Incidentally, my stepfather has just become busy and is absent because the chaos is still in the middle of bride training.
I have already told Princess Fujime and Princess Kai that Chacha will be adopted by the Kintetsu family and married at the same time as my original clothes.Hidden things just cause discord.
But... the uniform... I'm supposed to be twelve, so I'll be eight years later.Will Princess Fujime and Princess Kai be eighteen, and the chaos twenty-three?
I'm sure you'll grow into a beautiful woman...
Princess Fujime smiles elegantly behind her mouth, tea wrapped in twelve simple clothes, and Princess Kai with a smooth length and beautiful figure behind her.I'm the happiest person in the world to be able to marry these beautiful women.
Thinking of such beautiful women, she kept loosening her cheeks, and suddenly a cold sweat came out on her back.
... hah! For a moment, even though my eyes weren't laughing, I think I saw a future of tea and Princess Fujime with a smile on their face, opposed to a sword in one hand... I'm sure it was because of my mind. Yeah.
When I was enjoying myself like this, my father-in-law got up and sat in front of me.
"No, it's been about six months since we met before, but it's gotten a lot bigger.This year-old grows up chasing the day.It reminds me of Shinkuro's childhood. "
While saying that, Tsumasaki's stepfather strokes his head with a gentle touch.I was a little drunk or a little rough, but I felt the mercy for me in his eyes.
It's a little rude, but now it's a private gathering, so it's called rudeness.I was stroked with my head without paying particular attention.
"Speaking of which... my ministers looked forward to seeing me grow up every day.I don't know for myself... but is that so? "
They both nodded with a full smile as they turned to nature.
"Yes! It feels so adorable to grow up little by little every day!"
"That's right, every time I hug you, I see it getting heavier and heavier.That growing weight makes you feel happier than words can say.This must be a privilege for your family. "
They were smiling like a warm sun.He's laughing at my growth everywhere and everywhere.
Looking at the two of them, my cheeks naturally relaxed.
What a routine. Days of laughing at each other in public with no other love.That was the ideal I envisioned.
When the three of them were laughing, Fujimasa's stepfather's gaze worried her.
There, with a pleasant smile, I was able to read the feeling of a little relief.
Father-in-law?
When I asked strangely, her stepfather stroked her head slowly with a smile on his face.Slowly, slowly, carefully.
"I was a little worried.The Three Wizards' ideal is too noble, but it is more difficult than that.You can't understand the sadness of losing someone you care about and the feeling of helplessness that you can't change with your own power.In fact, it's the first thing you can understand with your own hands. "
"That's...."
My voice trembles unexpectedly. Your father-in-law's words accurately expressed my feelings until recently.
"I was distressed every day that the Three Wizards knew the reality and were not distressed by despair.That must have been the same for Phantom Anne-san... Fuji and Princess Kai. "
…………
When they glanced at each other, they nodded small.
I was shocked that someone worried so much about me that I didn't realize it.If you think you had to rely more and more, your chest is about to tear apart.
"That's right... I'm sorry for worrying you."
As she murmured with a heavy exhalation, Princess Kai immediately held her hand.
"I knew that Milord was carrying a burden that he couldn't bear.I want you to put the load down somehow.It wasn't once or twice that I wanted you to share it. However, Milord did not rely on us at all while behaving graciously. "
Kefi keeps talking with her eyes down.
"... I'm sorry about that..."
When I tried to open my mouth, I couldn't help but notice the expression of Princess Kai and stuck it in my words... closing my mouth.Then, Princess Kai smiled unexpectedly and pierced me.
When I look at Princess Kai's merciful eyes, I can't help but feel guilty.
"Please, don't love yourself, sir.It's very painful that I can only watch you fall silently. "
"It's worth it....."
Looking around, everyone looked at each other worried.I want to hit myself in the past like everyone else.
--Because I am the owner of the Oda family. I don't have a father or a grandfather anymore.That's why... that's why I have to do everything.
... I arranged such excuses and showed them how I was walking on my own path, scratching them every day.Look at me with those wounds. I knew what they thought.
"I'm sorry. I'm worried... I'm really sorry.It's okay now. I won't be able to do it anymore. "
As she murmured, Princess Fujime approached.
"Really? Can you promise to rely more on us from now on?"
"Mmm...."
When I answered with a bitter smile, I heard a deep sigh.I couldn't help but feel guilty in this state of heartfelt relief.
From now on, let's rely on it properly.
Yes... I swore to my heart.
