Kanazawa Hirano, Kagakuni, May 19, 1921.
[Spear's Left] Maeda Toshiya and [Combatant General] Sasamasa finally reached the final stage after a one-by-one defense and one-by-one defense where skill and skill polished against each other.
I grabbed the spear lightly with both hands and weakened. Pull your arms around your left leg and your right leg, lower your hips, and stand up halfway down with your hairpin pointing obliquely downward. Burning eyes. There is not a minute of gap in the figure of Toshika.
Now, let's end this.
At that moment, Hercules' fighting spirit swelled up. A polar region that had reached the end of training with the rare talent of the Tenjo and the enemies of the inn. The blade of guilt that burns up just burns up everything, from karma to conflict.
Besides, Cheng Zheng also responded.
Twist your body around your left foot, stand on your middle waist, and spit out your left hand lightly on the black spear.
"That's our line."
In an instant, the pale fighting Qi swelled up. It was a soft polar region that reached the end of the battlefield where the signs of death stroke the cheeks, inspired by the foolishness of training. Both trust and conflict swallowed everything and struck this blow.
Silence.
One beat... a beat and two beats open up, and Cheng Zheng's cheek falls to the ground with a twist.
And then they were slowly sucked in...... and both of them rushed out at the same time.
"Left again!!"
"Built-in assistant!!"
Shouting each other's names, together we unleash the meaning of a special.
--Flame of Maeda Ryujiki
― ― Sasamori Spear Technique Mizuhisa Sekisui Casting Abyss
While cutting through the sky like a roar, Rika's black spear hung between her brows, and Rika's vermilion spear swung down from the upper right diagonal stage to counteract it brilliantly.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!!!
The sound of a violent clash mingles with the azure battle spirit. The space warps as it screams. Reversal. A rough roar that shakes the core. Without giving in to each other. It seemed as if they were the only ones cut off from the world.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
Ahhhhhhh!!
Screaming. Lacerations on the cheeks and tears of blood flowing from the eyes. A power that is clearly beyond human wisdom. The recoil of that person's hand to the unavoidable led to the collapse of his body.
And the flesh was torn, and the bones were broken, and they both turned away. Everyone saw clearly that they would self-destruct each other before it was settled.
Come on, Maeda-sama!!
Sae-sama...
All of you, drink your saliva and watch.
The two forces seemed to go hand in hand... At that time, Reika's eyes glowed crimson.
"MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
"Guuu!?"
Eyes glowing more and more every second. Cheng Zheng's leg is pushed.... it was the strength of my thoughts that divided me between victory and defeat.
All of a sudden, you're king! Along with the metallic sounds that remained in my ears, the fighting energy between HE and Azure that was wrapped around both of them bounced, and the battlefield was blown with incredible shock waves and earth smoke.
Uuu, ahhhhhh!?
Evacuate! Evacuate!!
Soldiers who were blown up in an instant. Those who desperately lowered themselves, and those who escaped, were swallowed up by the smoke.
And after a while, the smoke cleared up, and gradually the shadows of Toshika and Seijo appeared in the sight of the soldiers. Who won? The soldiers gazed with anticipation at the end of the showdown.
There were two people standing there with five bodies satisfied. Both of them remained in the same position immediately after releasing their secrets. The spears were also stopping in an intersecting state.
Disappointed. And puzzled. Why don't you two move without a settlement? The answer becomes clear with the sound of something cracking.
"Ah, that's right! Sage-sama's spear!?"
Along with the someone's astonishing voice, the black spear's tip shattered as it made a dry sound. The pattern was heavily engraved with a deep crack, and I couldn't use that black spear at the earliest.
”...... ah”
Cheng Zheng's head, which looked at the black spear in a daze, was accompanied by the Zhu spear of the Reiki family.
"My... win."
Aaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh!!!
Together with the cheering, Toshika announced his victory. At the same time, the black spear spilled from Cheng Zheng's hands and fell while making a noise on the ground.
Maeda Toshiya and Sasakatsu Masaki.
The battle between the two militants representing the Oda family closed with the victory of the Maeda family.
Cheng Zheng suddenly loosened his mouth as he stared at the shattered black spear falling dumbfounded and admitted his loss.
"Ah... you won, left again." I don't want any unpleasant resistance. If you're going to kill me, just shoot me in the neck. "
…………
Cheng Zheng quietly took off his helmet and put his head around it like a stream. If you don't expose yourself at the end of the day, you'll show a really clean attitude. However, the expression was so calm that it was unlikely to be the general of the defeated army, and it was a decisive factor in the conviction that was in the interest of the family.
Toshiya murmured while attaching a tip to Cheng Zheng's neck.
"Built-in assistance... why did you do this?" You were the proudest samurai to serve the Oda family. At such a time... when the Oda family's grief is fulfilled, you will turn the flag against the main house... I still can't believe it. "
Even though Cheng Zheng's eyebrows moved slightly, his face was still lying down.
"... I thought I told you first. All this was done to rescue the Three Mages from the Azuchi Castle. I have no intention of harming her. However, I just want to save the master who was deprived of real power by the four elders...... that's all."
"My father would never do such a thing!"
"... oh yeah, that's right. Really... that's right"
Cheng Zheng, who was hungry, murmured there so that only Cheng Zheng could hear him.
"Right now, only two of us can hear this conversation." The servants there will never divulge their contents.... so please tell me. "
"............"
The words with the sincere thoughts of the Reiki family penetrated the heart of Cheng Zheng straight through.
The solid, icy sealed walls collapse. I'm sure it was made because I'm a unique friend who has been working hard together for decades.
Cheng Zheng slightly raised his face and opened his mouth.
"My wife and children were taken hostage..."
From Cheng Zheng's strongly squeezed right hand, a single strand of blood was transmitted to the ground.
"The black men." There were five of them. That dress will definitely be an intermediary. They didn't get upset at all even in front of us who were putting their hands on the hammer and vigilant, and someone thought to be the representative handed them the hair tied with a string and a cloth with blood on it.... when I saw it, I immediately figured it out. My wife and children were taken hostage.... those who saw me change their complexion, took out a sentence and gave it to them, "If you don't follow our instructions, I'll kill you." The call followed what was written there. "
"Nnh!?"
Toshiya's eyes widened wide in an unexpected truth.
"... why have my wife and children been taken hostage?" Did you even go away? "
"No, I was in the castle." In Kaga, as in Echigo, small fires broke out simultaneously in many places. I went to put it down, and by the time I got home, it was over. ”
Cheng Zheng laughs at his self-mockery.
"After they disappeared, I searched the castle in a hurry, but all I found were the unspeakable wrecks." They were all... killed. No one could survive. All that's left is what they gave us.... and some of our dignitaries have been captured by their wives and children in the same way. "
"I see... I don't know. I don't know!" This goes against human reason too much! Who on earth planned this! Didn't the sentence say anything!? "
An indignant family and an intelligent family flock to it. Cheng Zheng muttered as he leaked a dry laugh.
"... oh, it was written....... Kuroda Guard. He is the mastermind who planned this rebellion."
"... ah!? What... what...?"
Toshiya inadvertently feels lightheaded in the name of the person told by Cheng Zheng. One of the four elders of the Oda family, Hashiba Tochimae, and Hideyoshi Kuroda, his deputy, betrayed him. That fact was too unacceptable for me to serve the Oda family as well.
