When the surface of the Akami Naokai shakes

Hachigi Castle, Hachigi Town, Hachigi County, Kogae, early August (1581)

"Are you surprised about the day?

"Yes, I was surprised by the sudden."

At night, in the bedroom, your shapes gently stroke my back.

"I'm sorry. But I thought about it. I was wondering if I would suffer later if I talked to you. I told you that as my life."

"Dear Mr. Oyato..."

I'm glad you care. But for that reason, I thought your style was in distress.

"I remember the old days. Don't hesitate to eat. They said you can survive eating."

Master Miyagi smiled slightly.

"You said that."

"Yagoro must also eat our Lord's throne."

Now he raised his voice and laughed.

"Say good things. But you sure do. By eating the Lord's throne, Yagoro will survive."

"... I was just happy when I had that child. I didn't know this day was coming...... Stay away from the neighbors..."

He slapped me in the back like he was okay.

"Yagoro may suffer, let's also have a hard time. But that should make Yagoro bigger once or twice. Let's believe that will happen. Yagoro said it would happen."

"Yes."

"Going to Kyo. I intend to meet with His Royal Highness Tai. At that time, Yagoro will be asked by the court to confer his official position. What do you say, Doctor Shimikata?

"Well."

The first official position received by Mr. Miyato was given to Migoro.

"The new owner of the Decaying Wood family will deserve his position."

"Yes."

"I have to do a lot more than just go outside. It's up to Yagoro."

Your stall was exhaled with a thick breath.

Mid-August (1581) Yasushita Kishita, Tsingzhou Village, Haruhii County, Oozhang

Dong Dong Dong Dong and I saw my brother's small figure along with his well-motivated footsteps.

Brother, I'm disturbing you.

"Why, Koichiro, Koyuki, General Right-guard, are you all here?"

My brother walked into the room laughing. And when I pounded my shoulder, I made a noise with Dosun and sat in the upper seat. I'm in a good mood.

"I heard the sentence arrived at us from Mr. Omi's house. I gathered to ask my brother what was written."

Little Lord Six and General Right Gate snorted at my words.

"Right, right. No, I'm surprised."

In the words of his brother, Lord Xiao Liu said, "Well, on the left." And my brother said, "You don't believe me, Little Six," and laughed.

My brother started laughing cheerfully like before. The Oda family was doomed, but only the Seven Soldiers died in the Oda clan. The Oda clan lives as before in Ozhuang without being chased or abused. Even Master Misuke lives in Ojitsu without any freedom. Strange thing. But the matter lightens the hearts of those who were not only brothers, but ministers of the Oda family.

"Your palace will be handed over to the young master."

"Oh my God!"

"Do you really have it?

"Unbelievable!

When we raised our voice of surprise, my brother laughed happily.

"True, let's be that carriage in the fall. But it doesn't mean that your palace will give everything to the young lord."

My brother looked around at us.

"It's not easy to hide in your current style."

"Well, yeah. He said he would entrust the five countries of Ozhang, Migawa, Far River, Surugawa and Izu to the young hall."

When Lord Xiao Liu raised his voice, his brother said, "Xiao Liu, not yet."

"Don't be surprised, the Young Hall will be moved to Sunfu Castle. I'll see you in the year. The old Oda family will serve Sunfu Castle, except for some of them."

Everyone looked at each other.

"So?"

My brother nodded as I embarked on the right guard palace and inquired.

"Tell Kanto to attack."

"Brother, are you finally going to fight Tokugawa?

"Um, Sequoia and I seem to have a deal. Kofi is Uesugi, Sagami is a decaying tree. Now it's time to take down Odawara Castle."

Koyuki nodded twice or three times.

"Nevertheless, I did not expect to give up the housekeeper…, your stall has not yet reached the middle of thirty"

"The Young Hall is still a mid teenager, how dare you give up five kingdoms with the governor..."

"Lead the newcomers into Kanto. Xiaoliu, General Right-guard, your Yakuza is trying to train the Young Hall."

Everyone nodded at his brother's words. Tough, I don't know how to master our newcomers and attack Kanto... Mr. Miyato moved without loosening immediately after he attacked and captured five countries in Tokaido. Or maybe it was decided after seeing Misuke's ugliness. Let's not talk about it, but let's think about the same thing.

You can't be late, brother.

"Dear Left, if you don't meet the expectations of your stall by serving your young palace"

"Arms squeal"

My brother shook his head to the side when we wanted to.

"No, Koichiro, Koji, General Right Guard. We're not going to war."

"What?"

Xiaoliu, I looked at the right guard palace. Well, my brother doesn't look dissatisfied. How do you know where to work around the corner?

"My lord Goro and I took our lives apart."

"With Master Tanyu? Brother, what is it?

My brother grinned a lot.

"It's my life to build a new castle in Ozhang. I want you to build a castle without two in the sky beyond Sunfu Castle."

"Oh my..."

My brother laughed when he accidentally spoke.

"What a surprise, Koichiro, Koji, General Right-guard. You can spend as much money as you want, and if there's anything missing, you tell me to say anything."

I heard your throat rattling. Little Six or the General's Right Guard Hall? Or yourself. My brother looked around at the three of us and said "hehe” and leaked a laugh.

"You know what? Ozhang is the stronghold of Tokaido, and your Yakuza wants to hold this place tight."

I nodded naturally. My brother is not laughing anymore. I don't mean to be outspoken, but there are many Oda people in Ozhang. I suppose my brother wants to say that he is going to build the castle of the Decaying Wood family to contain it. It is also for the young temple who moves to Surugawa.

"Besides, if we were to build all those giant castles, a hell of a lot of money would fall on the tail. And people and things move. Ozhang will be as busy as a festival."

"I see, the people, the merchants, let's all benefit from it."

My brother nodded at my words.

"That's not true, Koichiro. I see that's what your stall wants you to think when you've grown rich in decaying wood."

Sin. I felt the strength and awesomeness of your style. I'm trying to hold down the merchants, the people, rather than the Oda clan. Even if someone from the Oda clan flies an anti-flag against your style, no one will follow you.

"Yeah, yeah, I forgot. The temple of Lin Sa Watanabe was entrusted to the evaluators. Sado will be packed in Omi from now on."

My brother spoke out as if changing the atmosphere. I see that Shodo Sado will be the liaison between the Sun Fu's Oozang crowd and Mr. Oyato. If something goes wrong, I will tell your yacht through Shodo Sado... Everyone will be relieved.

"Your roommate does not discriminate against newcomers. It's worth serving."

Little Lord Six in my words, Lord Right Guard Gate broke his face.

"That's right, Koichiro. Otherwise, there's no way I or Lord Goro will be able to build a castle. It's not a giant castle without two. I was recognized as having the strength to build it."

My brother strained his chest. That's an awesome look on your nose. It was hilarious. I'm not the only one, Lord Koji, and General Right-Men have loose cheeks, too.

"It would be a lot more interesting than winning one or two helmets. It's gonna be a lifetime of memories, Koichiro, Koji, General Right-guard. And I can't wait to hear the compliments of your stall when the castle is ready. Fujiyoro, you did it, brilliant. That's what you're gonna say."

Everyone nodded at my brother's happy voice. Xiaoliu, General Right-guanmen said he was looking forward to it.

"Mr. Oyato told me to come and report when I can select a location and have a simple territory. In the course of the year, we'll have to decide where to go and go to Omi."

"Is it within the year, then we must hurry..."

But you can't do a bilge job.

"Dear Left, you must speak to Master Tanyu as soon as possible."

My brother raised his voice and nodded to the words of the right guardian.

My brother is alive. I thought my brother had gained a master who would use his brother to satisfy me.

Mid-August, New Year's Eve (1581) Yamashiro Guokushi County, Shijima Village, Shijima Castle Decaying Wood Keystone

"Congratulations on the Tokaido attack. My sincere congratulations, Hyogo Head."

Ise Hyogo head lowered his head deeply.

"Um, thanks."

"In Kyo, there is a surprise that Mr. Miyato instantly took control of Tokaido."

"Right."

Are you happy for me? I hope so.

"I'm going to see His Highness Tai soon. The other day, I talked to the head of the Hyogo, and I'm going to talk to His Highness about the future of the Emperor Tai."

"Ha."

"Well it would be close to consultation if I said I would talk. I don't know. My head hurts."

Hyogo head nodded.

"I have conveyed to His Highness Taichun what the shapes intended."

"So, what did Your Highness say?

"Ha, he was snorting frequently. It was a great pleasure to tell you that your style wanted to maintain its relationship with the court."

You suspected he was thinking about taking it or something? Speaking about it, Hyogo shook his head to the side.

"That's not true. But no matter what happens to the public households, they have mistrust in the martial arts. Whatever you say, the Takeshi family has power.

"Right."

It could be like the psychology of an abused kid. It frightens me that I will be abused even if I don't actually get irritated.

"I also showed my understanding of the idea of a temple under the roof of your house. We must never again wreak havoc on civilization."

"Uhm."

"I'm just confused not to know what form it's going to take."

"Right, I don't know either.... Maori's Ankuo-ji Ee-jung came to Omi the other day. Well, I asked you to come and talk to me about it."

Hyogo head nodded.

"Boys are good knowledge. There was plenty to gain, but the troubles deepened. Yee-jung used to lean his neck too."

"Are you left-handed?"

Ee-jung was largely confused. Well, if they suddenly summoned me to talk to me about how to rule the heavens, then naturally, too. I can't believe the episode is going to be in history when you've been consulted about the concept of heaven. It could be Ee-jung's pride in life.

"Change the story. You may be asking, but I give the housekeeper to Yagoro."

"Ha."

Hyogo heads are not surprised. Did you know that already? We also collect information from inside decaying trees. There are clans that have continued to hold power within the Shogun on boulders.

"There you go, I want to give Migoro his official position. I'm the fourth best caterer."

"Ha, not necessarily"

The Hyogo Head gave me a strong undertaking. Everyone will understand that Yagoro is my successor if he succeeds the governor and leaves him to the fourth ranking Shimodaiko. I don't think they kicked me out by mistake. Nor will the court disagree with the merchant's office. Money also goes in. A government position is a formality, but it can also mean something. No fool can do it.

"I met with the Ryukyu messenger."

"Ha."

The head of the Hyogo has an intriguing expression. I see, he didn't know about this story. Outside the ocean, it's not always a topic of interest even inside the Decaying Wood family. The best hot news in Decaying Wood right now is the housekeeper issue.

"He thanked me for suppressing Shimazu. He wants to keep the relationship close."

Hyogo head nodded.

"My opinions don't seem to get mixed when it comes to entering Japan and receiving official positions. Ryukyu is divided by forces that think it is best to enter Japan and borrow the power of decaying trees to suppress Shimazu as a real problem and that it is impossible to enter Japan beyond what is sealed in a book from tomorrow. It'll take a while to wrap it up."

"I see, are you to the left"

Ryukyu is pro-Japanese and pro-ambiguous and his opinions don't get mixed up. The messengers I met were pro-Japanese, or men pretending to be pro-Japanese. I am well aware of the situation in Japan. He was once the ruler of Japan, but now he has lost his power after a long war. And that Decaying Tree is trying to unify Japan in place of Sukeri...

It was Shimazu that this man regarded as dangerous, but he also valued the presence of Yoshihiro Takari. That Yoshiaki is the owner of Japan's dominant footfall. He also knew that he was now being chased by decaying trees and relied on Shimazu in Kyushu. And I was terribly outraged that Yoshiaki recognized Ryukyu as Shimazu's. For Ryukyu, Yoshiaki, who recognized Ryukyu rule of Shimazu, looks more like the root of all evils than Shimazu.

Is it a failure to take Yoshio? Maybe I should have put it in Shimazu a little more and used it as a card to Ryukyu. I don't think it's worth using anymore, but it still seems to have. I don't know what to do, my uncle Hitoi is heading out to negotiate... I saw the Hyogo head in front of me. It's a promise to the dead Ise Gong, so let's pick it up around here.

There are other cards with Ryukyu. Kombucha. In China, kombucha is treated as a medicine and traded for a high price. Ryukyu wants kombu for a deal with Ming. And the kelp is held by decaying trees. Ryukyu can't piss me off. I can't piss you off in terms of both security and trade.

It may also make Ryukyu crack between pro-Japanese and pro-Japanese. I see that if you refuse unhindered, you will piss me off. In this case, it would be sloppy and stretch and try to normalize the current situation. Rely on decaying trees for security and trading without entering the morning. In that case, the question arises as to what to do.

Maybe we should still send out soldiers after Kyushu's reign. No, I wonder how far ahead to prescribe Japanese territory. What do we do? I want to take the north from Hokkaido to Wah Tai and the Chijima Islands. Once we unify the heavens, we should actively colonize them. You need Ryukyu to the south. The problem is Taiwan and the Penghu Islands. I want to hold it down if I can. But Taiwan and the Penghu Islands are too close to the continent. I wonder what's going on now. Are you part of the Ming? Let's check back later.

I had good news from the head of the Hyogo. Sadahiro Yozaburo, the second son of Hyogo's head, apparently had a son. Yozaburo's wife is Kikuhime of Takeda. It will be born next spring or so. As far as I can see.
