May 5, 1912 Anjo Castle
It was nearly two months before the rally in Kyoto.
A dry wind strokes my cheek. All the girls pass by in the hallway. Because many soldiers went to the battlefield, most of the people who stayed in this Anjo Castle were civil servants. The only combatants were the Red Ghosts who protected the castle. That martial artist's distinctive noisiness was lurking in the air.
I felt a little lonely about the condition of Azuchi Castle when everyone left. After all, I'm the only one who can wait. He's the one who can only pray for everyone's safety.
However, I blinded myself to the unmistakable reality.
... well, that's the first few days of being soaked in sentimentality.
"Now, Third Master." Next, please take a look at this document. ”
"...... nnh"
A pile of documents on a desk. Side by side, Goro Zuo, who seems to be enjoying his life, exerts himself into government. When I looked at it, I gradually lost the light from my eyes.
(... wait a minute? It's not over at all... ah, it's still going on... okay)
No matter how much you move, your work won't be reduced. The height of the mountains piled from the start remains unchanged. It's not the kind of thing that ends up being an animated poncho that I saw in the past. You must read it carefully and make a proper decision.
... Anime was nothing but a fantasy.
If you are doing such hard work, you will quickly forget that you are lonely. In addition, if you flirt with Fujihime and Kai, play with Ye for the first time, or show your face in the training ground of the White Lovers and the Red Demons, you will change your mood.
Ah, the tea has returned to Kyoto. You're already the princess of the Konoe family. I can't help it. On my way back, I was still kneading up the pieces I didn't want to return to, but I was crying and crying after being preached by one of the city's sisters, who had transformed into Shura.
The only thing left to impress was... Perhaps because he was distancing himself explicitly, recently the approach from the missionary came back to him, and he muttered, "It's so annoying," and the next day, he half-killed the missionary and exposed him with an upside-down cross.
I was in a bit of a hurry, but I told you that I was touched by your buttocks, or that I was seen with low eyes, so I didn't have to!
Now, when I was walking through the memories I had done in the past two months, I arrived in the middle of Takemi without taking much time to remember anything else. The rest of the snow opens the door. Apparently, they had already arrived.
Enter the room and sit down. Two men were lying flat on the ground at the end of their gaze. I heard that you arrived yesterday, but you look fine when you see it.
The two of you will speak up when I'm ready.
Masayuki Masada and Nobuyuki Tsunami have responded to the summons.
I'm loosening my cheeks and talking to them.
Yoshibei, Genzaburo. Thank you for coming. I'm glad you're doing well.
Haha! Thank you so much for your words, I'm extremely thrilled!
I smiled bitterly at the two of them, who lowered their heads even deeper. It's been a long time since we started again, but it looks like our temperament hasn't changed.
"You can raise your head." Goro left also missed his seat, and he must have been tired from a long journey from Aizu. I'll forgive you. Take it easy. "
”... haha, excuse me.”
Two people raise their heads to obey my words. The expression was really bright, and I understood the answer to the question I was about to ask.
Looks like it went well, huh?
"Haha. As instructed by Makoto Omi, I am here to report that I have officially succeeded the director of a famous family and met the nineteen-year-old principal of the famous family."
"In addition to the territory of Aizu, which was owned by the famous Tsubaga family, we have also ended the intake of people from neighboring countries. Ishigaki is thought to be about 400,000 stones. Since there was no big battle, we will make an annual contribution to Mr. Masaru Omi from next year as arranged."
"... I see. Well done." As your master, I'm proud of both of you for your wonderful work. Then, as promised, we will officially recognize the possession of the territory acquired by Kibbei and Genzaburo. "
Haha, thank you very much, I'm happy!!
Umu
Once again, I stroked my chin with my butt in the face.
To be honest, I didn't think Masayuki was so good. With unbelievable speed, the Tsuge family gathered together to expand their power.
... 400,000 stones? Normally, you're a daimyo. It's too bad, Maida. Rikishi is the ancestor of Maida Yukimura. The girls were making so much noise, I guess Masada and Yukimura were also good at it. I was convinced when I saw my ancestors. Operation Aoda is a huge success!
After that, when I was laughing for a while, I moved to the topic of Genjiro with nature.
By the way, did you two meet Genjiro?
"Yes, I said that I would have good eyes before I saw them for a while." I was wondering if the foolish sigh was causing trouble to Mr. Omi, but apparently he had reached the point of success..... "
”Haha... is that it?”
Although the tone was harsh, Kibbei's expression felt somewhat warm. That's right. Parents and children. I was a little worried about the foliage, but it seemed like I was worried.
So you've already met the autumn leaves?
Yes.
"... I see.... she's been struggling so hard." That's how miserable I was when I wanted to meditate on my eyes.... I want her to be happy. At the very least, I want you to be happy for the rest of your life. To do so, the existence of Genjiro is essential, and Genjiro also thinks that the existence of autumn leaves will support his future life.... would you both accept the matter of the leaves? "
As the lord, I ask for their forgiveness as those who approved the adoption to the Maida family of the autumn leaves. Then the two nodded hard after they had looked at each other.
"As a brother, I am proud of what my brother has done. If that child decides to provide for her responsibly, I have no objection to something."
"... As the head of the Sanada family, I would like to warmly welcome a new family as a father."... and there's no grandfather who makes his granddaughter invincible. "
Genzaburo, who accepted Genjiro's choice with a serious look, and Kibei, who accepted the fall leaves with a little tea. I thought it would be okay based on the attitude, but there is something that comes to my chest if you put it like this.
"Is that so...?" Thank you, both of you. "
I expressed my heartfelt gratitude. While dreaming of the glorious future of the Sanada family.
In the meantime, it seems that time has come. After quietly looking at Takamaru who had come into the room, I realized that I had to return to the affairs of hell.
But apparently it wasn't a call from Goro's left. Takamaru's expression was slightly stronger.
"Excuse me, Your Highness, I have received a message from Hojo Hideyasu." It is an emergency. Please check it. "
"... yes, thank you."
Receive a sentence from Takamaru and check the contents. Then, my hand trembled unexpectedly at what was written there.
This must be dealt with as soon as possible. Both of you try to get out of the room in the light of my atmosphere.
"...... Now, excuse me."
"Is that so? It's been a long time since I've been able to talk to you two." Are you going straight home like this? "
Haha, the crowd is tired from the long journey, so let's stay in Andu for three days.
"Yeah, that would be good.... surely, there were about two hundred suppliers brought from Aizu. The guest mansion on Third Street is empty. I'll also give you guidance, so you can use it for a while."
Haha, I'm in pain for your concern.
The two bowed their heads deeply. At that time, when I suddenly saw Chang Yuk's figure, I remembered that.
"Oh, that's right. I wanted to ask Kibe something."
”How are you doing...?”
"Yeah. I was wondering what we were going to do." Are you going back to Aizu with Genzaburo? "
"... yes, I have to go back to pick up my luggage once, but I'm planning to return to Aizu with Genzaburo." However, I am not willing to live permanently in Aizu. Genzaburo is already a member of the famous Tsubaki family. From now on, we must move the country without the help of the people.... if that's the case, I don't need this body anymore. I want to go back to Ando and support the great work of Taiping Tianxia by the side of Masaru Omi once. "
"... my father went up"
Genzaburo's eyes moistened at the appearance of Hirafu's Yoshibei. That's one goodbye. A nest. It was a testament to the trust of a great father, who was happier than any treasure for Genzaburo.
I'll cut it out as convenient.
"... I guess. If someone as good as Kibbei can support me, I'll be more than happy." From now on, let's make a world of Taiping together next to me. "
Haha! I'll support you until your life runs out!
"Hmmm!... Well, I have a job for you soon, but I want to leave it to the Sentry Guard." Actually, I was thinking of moving the castle. The location is the site of Ishiyama Honganji Temple. Andu Castle is also a wonderful castle, but it's a bit of a bad place considering the world ahead. I can't expand my castle any further.... I want to leave this castle to Kibbei. "
.........?!
In my words, there is an upset in the faces of Yoshibe and Genzaburo. However, did you realize that there was no lie in my eyes that looked straight at these two people? Kibei once corrected his posture and turned to me.
I will. This Kibbei will surely deliver a castle worthy of those who rule the world!!
Yeah. I'll take care of it, Kibei.
I naturally clenched my chest against the forcefully proclaiming Kebei. The world of Taiping is just around the corner. The moment comes when the ideal becomes a reality.
... so we need to get rid of the buds that might stand in the way of our future reign. Even though there was a lot of blood.
(...... When the paratroopers return, we'll have to call the pines. Let's gather the other children. Take the first thirteen. They have a right to know. the identity of the mastermind who attacked the city)
I was thinking about how to tell the pines while sending thanks to the master who informed me. "I hope it won't be a fight..."
