Ando Castle, July, 11th year of Heavenly Majesty
Around this time today, when the summer sunlight illuminated the earth, the castle town of Yasudo had the best exuberance in the past.
With the Oda family's trade line controlling almost all of Honshu, specialty products are available from all over the country, and the people also run to the store with a penny in hand.If you look at the area where the wealthy people gather, Seoku Imai, a leading Japanese businessman in Kyoto, sells items that have been handed over to the barbarians in the south.
"Cheap! Cheap!" It's a special sale for today only!!! I don't need anything nowadays. If I don't buy it now, I'll lose it!!! "
"Oh? It's really cheap."
"This is Sagami's famous dried chicken!" Seafood delicacies you can't taste! See the real flavor!!! "
"Hey, that girl over there!" Oi and teahouse cucumber "What are you doing, you ahhh!!! "Eek!!?"
A fisherman-like burnt man sells dried fish, and a woman stops at the call of a man who is a good businessman.A middle-aged man with a stretch under his nose reaches out to a young woman to make her a wife-like aunt.
Exactly what I would call a festival. So, why are you showing so much excitement?
This is because today, July 23rd, is the day when two of the most powerful names in the Western world, Daimyo Māori Hikamoto and Ashikaga Ashikaga, the fifteenth shogun of the Ashikaga Shogunate, will ascend the castle.
Today, as these two names descend into the military gate of the Oda family, the path to Taiping under the heavens shrinks at once.In order to witness such historical moments, famous people from all over the country have gathered in Azuchi.
In this case, Oshu and Kanto people have a place to stay.The mansion is prepared by the Oda family, but those who visited earlier than the Maori family would climb the castle would be free.
The merchants who had their eyes fixed on it opened their stores, and as a result, they saw it in no time.Money is also around the world.As long as there is no uprising, there is no opportunity to wish for a ruler.
"Besides, even though most people don't understand, I'm just glad that you're happy to be one step closer to Taiping."
When he murmured as he looked down at the castle town from the Tenmangu Shrine, the pine that stood beside him called out with a gentle smile.
"Is it the gift of your prestige that they can do business with peace of mind?"Some people want to live in peace and emigrate. ”
"... if everyone lives with a smile, that's all I get for it."
Smiling back, the pine smiled like a flower.
"Yes! I'm also happy to see such a spectacle!" It's the ideal place to dream. ”
Separating the conversation, Matsu leaned down on one knee with a serious expression on his face.
"And today, I sincerely congratulate you on your wish for Taihei Tennishita to come closer to another step."...... Now then, we are on time.We're all ready to go. "
"Yeah. So... let's go."
Hah!
Down the stairs with the help of the pine.In a few minutes, they will meet with Māori Ikemoto and Ashikaga.
Exactly, a historic moment. I squeezed the fan that my master gave me to calm my mind that would make me nervous even if I didn't respond.
Then, a pair of white and black bells were swayed by the wind and gently rang like pushing my back.
By the way, how did the pine climb the stairs without making any noise?...... Hmm. Let's stop thinking.Loyalty... makes me have a headache.
And finally, the time came.
"Omi no Makoto-sama's ~ oh noo ~"
When my maiden name announces my arrival with a unique tempo, the door opens without putting my hair in it.After confirming that the pines and snow were kept by the wall as escorts, I stepped forward.
"............"
At the same time that I show up, I can feel my gaze.Everyone was supposed to be lying flat, but I felt a gaze similar to the intense anger.
I sat on the upper seat with a little agitation, but I managed to withstand the signs that I had never felt before.Side by side, Oda Izumi and other ministers headed the six-right group that had returned from the rapidly returning Echigo country.There was also a Maori family ministers' group headed by Takumi Okakawa.
And there were two men in the front.One is a frail young man who seems to be in his late twenties.The other is a middle-aged man with a beard over forty years old.
Judging from the appearance of the story, the former is Māori Ikemoto, and the latter is Ashikaga Yoshihiro.And Ashikaga is exasperating me.
Well... I'm related to the Oda family, and my face and grandpa's face are similar...I don't think I can help it.
(Now, take it back......)
Lightly fix the disturbance of the clothes and face the front.
"...... Good. Raise your face."
The word heralded the beginning of the fantasy.
After confirming that everyone is ready, I quickly cut out the main point.
"Well then, let's get down to business."The Maori will surrender unconditionally to the Oda family and leave the subsequent sand to the Oda family's owner. Isn't there a difference?
"Haha. There's no difference."
While deeply lying flat, Radiant was immediately recognized.Next to it, Yoshihiko bites her lips with regret.Looking at the situation, he spoke of the final decision.
Well then, I'll say satay from now on.The territory of the Maori family shall consist of only three countries: Aki, Zhou Guo, and Nagato, and Iwami is the area directly under the Oda family.And the Maori family will have the lead in the Kyushu domination.We'll be in touch as soon as we have an accurate schedule, so be prepared. ”
― ― Finally, Ashikaga shall be deposited with the Oda family.
"That's it. Dedicate yourselves daily to the Oda family, to the people of Hinomoto, and pledge your everlasting loyalty to me."
"...... hahaha"
Although Shinomoto clogged his words for a moment, he accepted them without any particular objection.At the end of such a daze, you suddenly enter your sight.
Strong and tightly clamped hem creates red stains while repentantly twisting.I heard that there was desperate despair in the tightly bitten mouth, and now apologize to my deceased ancestors, the responsibility to protect the house, and such various emotions swirling around.
The Maori became about 500,000 stone daimyo.Its stone height is less than half the height of its peak.Moreover, due to this unconditional surrender, many Chinese people have lost their trust and their influence has been drastically reduced.Ginzan Ishimi, my friend, was also taken.
Too humiliating for the Maori.Although we were able to defend the Anqi Nation, we were robbed of all the territory we had won.
In other words, it is synonymous with being kicked in the foot with the many sacrifices that have flowed so far.Even if the weak and powerful predators become commonplace, they are too ruthless.
In the meantime, Shinohara gritted her teeth and endured it.The situation is different than it was a few years ago.The difference in strength between the Maori and Oda clans was too great to be helped anymore.When it comes to all-out war, countless sacrifices are made.
Because I knew that, I was desperately struggling.I bowed my head to a child like this, threw away my pride, and just bowed my head to keep it from shedding a lot of blood.
- He was the kindest king's artifact.
The moment the Oda family proposed to dispatch the supportive army of Ichigo, who would come in the future, as an atonement for his enlightenment, Yoshihiko Ashikari, who had remained silent until now, rose up in anger.
"Fu, don't be ridiculous ahhh!!! I'll never admit to losing!!! Never forgive the Oda family!!! I can't stop being so dazzled!!! "
The roar of Yoshiko's anger echoed through the hall and shook her head violently.The guards of the Ibanezai and the Snowmen immediately shifted to a position where they could pull out their swords.The Oda family and the Maori family's servants also asked their surroundings with one knee up.
The Great Hall quickly changed into an instant situation.
