Early June (1586), Hachigi Castle, Hachima-cho, Hachima-cho, Hachima-sheng County, Omi

In the dark, there were signs. In the futon, I grabbed a machete. I don't like this moment. I feel like my heart palpitations are getting quicker.

"Little soldier?

There was an answer that said "ha” when I asked her in a breath. Horrified. Even though I think it's okay, I can still stir up my fear for signs of snoozing in the dark. There are no alarm devices in this day and age. And there are those who make it easy to kill people by sneaking in. It's dangerous. I got my hands off the machete and woke up.

"I heard you wanted to report something."

"Ha."

"Talk to me."

"First, I will report to you about Sado. This is ruled by Mr. Mamma as his guardian."

"Hmm."

Lieutenant General Yasukami from the Imperial Army was from Sado. Maybe a descendant.

"The main house that dominates Miyata Castle, Miyata County, was the president of the main office, but it has fallen. A man named Sun Shiro Shintai is now in control of Miscellaneous Tai Castle, but he has no power to bring Sado together."

"Uhm."

Sado's guardianship fell even on a small island. The waves of warring nations hit Japan equally.

"Miscellaneous Miscellaneous Miscellaneous Miscellaneous Miscellaneous Miscellaneous Miscellaneous Miscellaneous Miscellaneous Miscellaneous Miscellaneous Miscellaneous Miscellaneous Miscellaneous Miscellaneous Miscellaneous Miscellaneous Miscellaneous Miscellaneous Miscellaneous Miscellaneous Miscellaneous Miscellaneous Miscellaneous Miscellaneous Miscellaneous Miscellaneous Miscellaneous Miscellaneous Miscellaneous Miscellaneous Miscellaneous Miscellaneous Miscellaneous Miscellaneous Miscellaneous Miscellaneous Miscellaneous Miscellaneous Miscellaneous Miscellaneous

"The main house has fallen and the division has grown, which is a good thing in the warring countries. Mr. Omi Yuan also hexagonal, the Kyoto Pole collapsed and Decaying Tree grew his power"

"... In Sado, disputes are focussing on Sakusho Kawarada and Sakusho Hanamo vs. Horseshoe. There's no sign it'll fit in yet."

There is no such thing as an absolute strong man. And there's no room for a big stretch. That's what keeps us in contention. Storm in the glass? You had a moment, I guess I said something hard to answer...

"So what's your relationship with the Uesugi family?

"We have an edge with the Uesugi family in the days when the main house of Hanuma is still in the Nagato family. Since then, Hanamo has been close to Uesugi. It doesn't mean you're most obedient."

"Uhm."

In the days of the Nagato family, that was quite a while ago. When it came to having an edge, the owner of the Nagato family was not humbled. Maybe he's the father.

"Nor is the Uesugi family actively trying to control Sado. Whatever you say, Sado seems small. It is not dangerous for Uesugi. Let's really put Sado behind us. When Lord Hyun-Shin won, he marched to Shinano, Echinaka and Kanto. Tokugawa and Asahi have been opponents since you became the substitute for the contemporary Bullet Master Shao Pi. Besides, if you have Hanuma's main house, Sado won't be in one place and hostile to Uesugi."

"Right."

An island that can be captured at any time. That's close to the quality pawn you say in chess. When I asked Xiaowei, he had the answer that he was right.

"Do you think Decaying Tree will agree to win Sado?

"I don't know what you mean."

"Right. If you think it's a quality pawn, then decaying wood handouts aren't funny. I did a sentence on Qi ratio, too. The same answer came from over there. I don't think Uesugi is satisfied with Sado's current situation. But we don't know if the decaying tree will admit it."

……

"Let's ask Uesugi directly. Sado's confusion affects the deal. I'd like to attack Sado, but I was wondering if I could."

"I was wondering if you'd like that."

"Right."

Maybe Uesugi will say he will attack Sado himself. At that time, let's take Sado in the form of a joint troop contribution. Half the money.... Will it work?

The Great Hall, by the way.

"What?"

Little soldier's voice is nervous. It's a mess.

"I will report one thing to you now. I am Mr. Soo-san of the opposite horse..."

"Anything?

"Yes, secretly, there are some ministers who are trying to connect with Ryuji Temple."

"... is that a move as Mr. Soo?

When I checked, I said, "I don't know." There are those in the ministry who are trying to connect with the Dragon Temple... Isn't that an instruction to observe praise?

"Praise Shouxi is suspected of being ill. We've been hearing reports that you haven't seen him for a while."

"Sick..."

"I have no certainty..."

My voice is weak. I guess it's less certain information.

"Hmm, you were still young to pick up Hikozaburo. Then it is possible that the control in the house was loose."

"Maybe so"

One mistake will cause a disturbance in your house. It's not just Sado, it's confusing against the horses.

"Who is the one who is moving?

"The focus is on Yanagawa Kwannosuke Tsushin and Yukiya Hankyuro Yasuhiro. Even the Zodiac family is quite powerful."

Teak Valley doesn't sound familiar. But Willow River sounds familiar. It was Yanagawa who made a fuss over the forgery of the National Book during the Edo period. Well, you wouldn't be the same person in the ages.

"They're trying to expand my deal with Korea. We saw that the expansion of the transaction would be less flavourful for Mr. Zong."

"Ha, I think the Great Hall is right"

In other words, you saw that the Dragon Temple is easier to see than me, easier to secure the flavor. Dragon Temple's lair is licked, too. No, I'm the one being licked. They didn't think it was hard to deceive my eyes.

"Praise be to you, but are you really sick? Is there anything called pseudo-morbidity? The whole house is disturbed, I'm trying to make this one look bad..."

They're the ones who try to forge a national book or send out a false angel to make a deal. It's not impossible. I guess Xiaowei feels the same way. I said "I will confirm” without objection.

I know there's only a way to live with a deal. I also understand trying to do anything for it. But it's out of the way and inappropriate to use as a negotiator. Those guys always negotiate with a deal in mind. In other words, you will negotiate the country while interfering with your interests. And in a weak position. This will not accurately convey this intention to the other party. I don't need tools like this and I can't use them. I still need a realm change. Let's use this one.

"And it's Hot Island."

"Uhm."

"I was shocked. The reason is supposedly through decaying trees. Sooner or later, the Igas will reward you."

"... right"

Sun Shiro Hot Island Shinseng is dead. A man regarded as Hideyoshi died when he had wisdom and courage to acquire the heavens, but not enough atmosphere.

"Tell me you got through to me, but that's not true. It would be nominal. What's the real reason for the killing?

"I thought you were blind."

"Are you blind..."

"Hot Island is not opposed to and participating in the war"

"I see."

Dragon Temple's hideout is using my inability to move to attack Otomo. We had a rebellion. It is quite possible that Sun Shiro Hot Island, who is not in tune with himself from the hiding of Ryuzukuji Temple, became blind. Or you might have thought it was dangerous. I hear that the hiding of Ryuzukuji temple neglected Sun Shiro Hot Island over the past few years. It is only natural to think that they will also neglect themselves more than they neglect them. When I move a soldier, if it's in tune with that...

But Sun Shiro wouldn't have had that idea. I asked him out a few times, but Sun Shiro didn't ride my invitation. I couldn't abandon the Dragon Temple. But given that I didn't participate in the war, I don't think Sun Shiro was willing to perish with Ryuji Temple. Sun Shiro should have understood that he was neglected. I think that staying inside Ryukyuji Temple, regardless, was meant to beg for a hiding order when Ryukyuji Temple lost to me, or to wish for the survival of the Ryukyuji Temple family. I suppose you thought it was your last loyalty to the Dragon Temple, to the Hidden. Or did you plan to take over?

Poor thing...... Historically, Sun Shiro Hot Island was never killed. But maybe that's because Ryuzuji's cover-up died in the battle against Shimazu. Until then, it can be useful as a collaborator, or from time to time, it can be a disturber. It's a warrior turmoil, not many ministers have conspired against their lords. But many are credited with being competent ministers at first. I guess some of them were driven into conspiracy instead of conspiracy.

I can't help thinking about the dead guy. The confinement of the Dragon Temple cut the Dragon Temple family's lifeline with its own hands. He's a fool, trying to walk the path of doom himself.... No, are you really stupid? Suppose you know what Sun Shiro Hot Island thinks and cut it off... That's a leeward formation. I guess that means I've been challenging the last big battle...

The question is how this slaughter affects the interior of Ryuji Temple. Internal solemnity is difficult. There will also be anxious people for the ministers of the Dragon Temple Spectrum bill. Let the Igas do the trick on the big picture. And gossip. Rumors circulate that there are dissatisfied ministers out there. Omura, Arima is not feeling bad, reports are up. This one thing could push the two of us on the back.

Early July (1586), Hachigi Castle, Hachima-cho, Hachima-cho, Hachima-chon, Kogae

It's been a long time since Ee-jung Yasukuoji came out. As big a head as ever. Saburo Kodama next door is huge enough to think that he has twice as many right guards. Four of the advisors, the acclaimed Tazawa Takeshi, the reproductive service Miyagawa Takeshi, and the Royal Tax of Decay are present, but they all look at Ee-jung's head. It's not your face, it's your head. I'm not the only one who would want to try to brush that head because it's good for once.

"Yee-jung, long time no see."

"It's been a really long time. How is your injury?"

"You're right, it's okay now"

I pounded my knee. There is no pain at all. I've been walking through the courtyard since around June and switched to light jogging since July. I can ride a horse, and I can stomp with it. You'll be fine out on the battlefield. Nor have the ministers of Decaying Wood shown an uneasy look.

Ee-jung is face-to-face with Kodamasaro's right guard. And the two of us nodded lightly. Maybe Ee-jung checked my condition with his own eyes. Probably ordered by the National Guard. It should be enough with a report from the right guard of Saburo. In fact, a report from the right guard of Saburo must be going to Maori. But it is possible that Sanro's right guard is grateful to me for Zhou (Kane). There will also be confirmation as to whether the report is true or not. It is also a confirmation of whether or not the right guard of Saburo can be believed in the future.

"I told Lord Oki that you were born a princess. Congratulations."

When Ee-jung celebrated, the right guard of Saburo also voiced "Congratulations”.

"Thank you for celebrating. His name seems to be Kiryu."

They said “Princess Kiryu” and nodded. Joy was honestly noted in the text of the recompense from Oki. I was a twin when I was a young Takemaru. Maybe I couldn't be happy.

"By the way, I would have gone through Kyo. How'd it go?

"There was popularity on the other side and it was lively."

"It broke a long time ago. It's not over yet. I'm glad you're alive, but honestly, I'm not happy."

Ee-jung said "left-handed”.

"Some of the mansions in the public house are quite old. Some houses should have been rebuilt, but they can't be rebuilt because they can't afford it. We have to help that kind of house..."

I can't ignore the state of affairs of the public households any more than holding down Kyo. My head hurts. Well, I can't even be blurry.

"Jiro's right guard and Princess Bow's wedding, which had been postponed because of the earthquake, is it okay to do it in September?

"Ha, there is no difference in gross profit"

When Ee-jung lowered his head to answer, Sanro's right guard also lowered his head.

"Then the place is Tsushima Castle, I guess."

"Ha, there's no difference."

Well, there's no problem around here because it's me and Sanro's right guard adjusted part.

"Who gets out of Maori?

"Ha, let's join the Lord and Mr. and Mrs. Right Horsehead and Mr. and Mrs. Sungawa, the parents of Princess Bow, and other relatives"

"There was no name for Lord Left Gate."

Ee-jung's face is sad.

"Remain in the Containment of Kyushu"

Well, that's a shame.

"I will surely pass the word on to Sasako Left Guard. Let's rejoice"

Ee-jung answered happily. Ee-jung seems to like Kosakawa Left Gateway.

"This is something similar, but it might come out of something a little different."

Ee-jung and Sanro Right Guard looked at each other.

"The Pentagon wants to attend."

“Oh, my God!" and “True" raised their voices.

"It's a fact. Others who are on edge with decaying trees want to join them. Be quite a crowd."

They're both dotted with eyes. Compared to that, Decaying Wood's minister is a little proud. But, you know, it's a bond between decaying trees and Maori. At the wedding of Decaying Tree and Sanho, Kingsguard and Articles 1 and 9 attended from among the five houses. This time the ceremony will be held in Kyo and Tsushima Castle. No matter how you look at it, you'll be in. There is also a reason to just do so.

"Kyo was devastated by the earthquake. And the public households. Reconstruction requires the power of decaying trees. So the public servants are trying to foil the wedding by attending this wedding."

Ee-jung and Sanro Right Guard looked at each other.

"Is the reward in rebuilding Kyo"

"Don't forget ourselves, Ee-jung, exactly. I mean, it's hard to get into battle. As I said earlier, some of the mansions in the public house are quite old."

He nodded as if Ee-jung and Sanro Right Guard were convinced. I know exactly what a public home is worth. I just said it would be helpful, not sweet, to rebuild the mansion. We have to rebuild the mansion. Most of the time since the town was rebuilt. After the Kyushu expedition, I guess. Let them have the blueprints by then.

"It's about the wedding, but I'm generally going to make an announcement. It's not a bad idea for the Five Centers to join us. Wouldn't it?

Ee-jung and Saburo's right guard were in awe of "ha”. Now that there is a commotion in Kyushu, this wedding means a lot to Decaying Tree, Maori. There is a decaying tree behind Maori against the Dragon Temple, a statement that if you attack Maori territory, the decaying tree will not shut up. And against Maori, it is a statement that decaying trees always protect Maori, so don't worry. It is also a reminder not to betray them.

"When the wedding is over, we're ready for Kyushu's re-requisition. How do Maori see the situation in Kyushu?

When I asked, Ee-jung lowered his head gently.

"The Dragon Temple is attacking dominance, but Mortar Castle is a solid castle, and it doesn't fall easily. Also, Toyomae and Toyomae have lost, but there are those who do not bend the verse after Toyomae."

Toyoko is the home of Otomo, so let's hit the boulder.

"But we can fight back against the Dragon Temple, and we will prevent it, so we will do our best."

"Ha."

"How long do you have until?

When I asked, Ee-jung tipped his neck. Come on, it's dangerous, you're gonna lose your head.

"Thank you very much. I can't judge you."

I finally got my head back.

"Right,... I'm leaving this one at the end of October. The attack on Kyushu starts in November. I want to avoid fighting during the wild season. I've had a lot of trouble attacking Shimazu."

The two nodded. It is not until the end of October that there will be a typhoon. Typhoons are unlikely to come in November. And less rain.

Kyushu's temperature is warm compared to this one, so it shouldn't be a hard fight. Otomo might say sooner. But I was punished for fighting during a typhoon. At the last expedition to Kyushu, we had a really bad fight because of someone else. If you have any complaints, just tell him.

The Maori need to secure their territory in Kyushu.

"Ha."

"Do you need a decaying soldier? Or weapons and ammunition. Tell me if you need assistance. Don't be shy."

I don't think Ee-jung needs it, but I said I would go back and check with the right horsehead.

I haven't heard back from Sado since Echigo. I guess I'm worried. In this situation, the attack on Sado should not take place as soon as possible after the Kyushu expedition. The reply from Echizen should be delivered by then. Shall we wait slowly?
