Ando Castle, July, 11th year of Heavenly Majesty
I wasn't the only one who walked slowly towards me, and the dignitaries couldn't help but be surprised.
Isn't that Master Sansuke!?
Have you gotten ahead of yourself?
I wonder how many years it's been since Master Ojo made it to the castle.
I heard you were sick...
No, but...
Everyone tells their conjectures in their minds.In the great hall, as the agitation spread, the name was spoken with a flickering voice.
"Misuke... Uncle... go?"
Nobuo Misuke Oda. Grandpa's second son.He's my father's brother, and he's my uncle.
Uncle Misuke ruled the Owari kingdom until I was in uniform by my father's will, but it was a kind of trouble to repeat the problematic acts.
The problematic acts are manifold.
You can change your name to Oda's surname on your own, refuse to call a meeting using a fake disease, forcibly kidnap a farm girl, and anyway, stand up egotistically.Therefore, it is very underrated by the elders and the elders.
Each time, I sent a messenger to pay attention, but recently, I was driven back because of illness.
Honestly, I don't want to think about this, but if I do the next problematic act, I've made up my mind to punish it immediately.
It's too late because it's my fault and it's an irreversible situation.
However, even though he was determined to cut himself off, Uncle Misuke never worked scandalously.
I once doubted my ears.With Master's advice in mind, I didn't let my guard down.However, for one month... two months... three months, no suspicious movements were found. If you say it hard, you won't show your face because you are not feeling well.
Recently, I felt more worried that I was really not feeling well.Isn't that right? Now, if Uncle Misuke had a serious illness, I'm a very reluctant person.
Various thoughts go through your brain, and your head gradually hurts.When I turned my gaze to the person who created this situation, I was smiled back.
(Daddy Tanuki!)
Sending the curse, Uncle Misuke finally stopped in front of him.While everyone watched him with a sigh of admiration, Uncle Misuke slowly lowered his hips and laid down on the ground.
Your highness, you're in a good mood.
The words were unexpected.
"......!?!"
The dignitaries doubted their own ears and looked at each other to see if they had heard each other wrongly.And some opened their mouths wide, and could not conceal their surprise.
With that, I responded with tears.
Uncle, are you feeling well?
Hah, I'm so worried.
Uncle Misuke, who responded instantly, had his eyes fixed on him, and while holding his eyebrows, he was immersed in sentiment.
…………………………………………………………………………………………………
I managed to narrow down my words and respond.Looking around, everyone smiled.As if he had been relieved.
That's true, too. The series of flows just now was exactly a courtesy to the subordinate.Uncle Misuke recognized me as the head of the Oda family.
Clan discord can be a bomb that instantly destroys what has been piled up so far from the scaffold.The situation where Uncle Misuke, who was at the top of the Oda First Gate, did not recognize me, was a dangerous one for everyone.
However, Uncle Misuke recognized me as the master and laid flat on the ground.Now, there is no needless blood flow.The Oda family finally solidified into one.
Ieyasu smiled and opened his mouth with joy.
"After all, relatives are best connected by strong ties."If there are people who can keep their backs, their hearts are different.Now, let's concentrate on Taipei Tianxia without leaving any trace.... no, no, I've been to Master Zhangguo for about half a year. "
Ieyasu says words of celebration while stroking his belly.I feel like there is something behind it, but Uncle Misuke admits to me that the pleasure won, and I honestly thank you.
"Tokugawa-sama did his best..."I am truly sorry. As the Oda family owner, I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude. "
"No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
As I thanked him, Ieyasu continued to bow his head again and again.With such a humble appearance, your vigilance is slightly cleared.
Certainly, it is not very welcome to intervene in the circumstances of other houses.However, it is also true that Ieyasu saved me.
(If so, you must repay the debt)
That's what I thought. I remembered my marriage to the Tokugawa family, where I had more interrogation than I could.
"Sure... Tokugawa-sama wanted to talk to the Oda family."If you have already decided on an heir, I will promise to arrange an editorial as a thank you. "
Then, for a moment, Ieyasu's eyes were illuminated with a suspicious color.However, it soon returned to its original color.
"It's about the inheritance."Today, I was thinking of reporting that as well.The succession was decided by Nagamaru, who is the same age as Masaru Omi.After all, the younger generation will live in a new world in the future. "
"Hmm. Nagamaru..."
Nagamaru... that's the name I heard when I went to Hamamatsu.If you were the same age as me, would you be able to marry her? In terms of age, I wonder if it's my first time at Yae...?
When Ieyasu thinks about it, he shrugs his head off.
Well then, let's sum up the editorial conversation with this gratuity and invite unnecessary discord throughout the house.
Is it……………………………………………………………………………
I understand Ieyasu's words.However, it is not recognized as the head of the Oda family that they have made a debt.
Misuke's uncle, who was silent, made a suggestion when he thought about what he had said.
"If so, how about welcoming Tokugawa-sama's daughter to Azuchi?"Recently, my son has stayed in Azuchi and studied in Azuchi, so there is no problem even if Tokugawa's daughter is in Azuchi.I was wondering if I could leave it to Mr. Omi to decide whether or not to marry her. "
That's a strange idea!
"...... umu"
Ieyasu glanced sideways at Uncle Misuke, but he just lowered his head.Well, I guess there's nothing more wrong with it than having a precedent...
"All right, I'll let Tokugawa-sama's daughter stay in Azuchi."I hope to build a good relationship with the Tokugawa family in the future. "
Haha
Tokugawa Ieyasu.
If I hadn't quarreled with him... I couldn't help but wish for it.
I can't believe this decision is going to create such a tragedy.
The Third Master didn't have a chance to know.
