Another Life

Early the next morning, via Otsu from Kyo, there were two horses heading north on the west bank of Lake Biwako. The velocity was just like the wind, rushing through to crush the horse.

And one bead was on it, and the horse that led it was on it, Hyogo and Mira. With Pandora's measures, the Koga people and the Hyogos who replaced him were aiming for Hikone Castle, but Mira's expression was somewhere cloudy.

The Hyogo, who manipulated the horse with Mira before, noticed the strangeness of Mira and asked questions.

"Mira. What's wrong, are you scared?

And Mirah nodded small in the words of his arsenal, saying,

"I... really, don't like the war... because you gave birth to me, your father or your mother was killed..."

To Mira's words, Hyogo said to Mira with a slightly sad face.

"Mira. Even though Liu Sheng says he is a swordsman, his interpretation is Wujia... this is the fate of Wujia. The Takeshi family, to speak of their former masters, must see through at the end."

"Wujia... With that said, I have a brother and he told me before, didn't he? What did your father think of your brother?

And the Hyogo saith with astonishment unto the words that were not in his mind.

"What, all of a sudden. Well, it's strict... honestly, with that young man, I envy that talent, and with that, it hit me hard."

"My father crushed the rebuilding of the island family..."

The word was answered by an unexpectedly dodgy arsenal.

"Who told you that story?

No, who told you it wasn't a problem... yes, I crushed the story and chose the strict packet for the Yoo Seong Sook family "

Having heard the words of the Hyogo, Mira asks the Hyogo a question, keeping her face down.

"So if my brother is alive, the Yoo Seung Soo family will be succeeded by my brother?

To that word, Hyogo answers with a slightly lonely face.

"I'm in Lake City, you mean the strict package?

To the words of the Hyogo, Mira looked back unexpectedly, and when she looked at the Hyogo, the Hyogo said with a slightly lonely face.

"Sister Tea told me... for four hours. At the end of the day, you were just cursed, but I wondered if you were just a fool looking for strength, or someone who combined not only strength, but all the body of mind and moves.

The latter would be nice, but the former told me to abandon the name of Willow, and that your presence would cause Willow's name to fall to the ground. "

To the words, Mira looked complicated, Hyogo said as it was.

"The Yoo Seung Soo family should be inherited by Mira... I only thought about the house and didn't think about the feelings of strict packaging... I think I did something wrong to him. I hope one day the four of us can go somewhere to Yuji."

"Yeah, you are."

In Mira's eyes, who had said so and looked before, there were tears in her eyes.

◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇

Hikone Castle in Omi Country. This castle of Omi Shogun had been transformed into a large castle, from a fortification-like castle to a small but two-story temple, because Left Near assumed rebellion.

But the castle, too, no longer left only the main circle, and Lake Biwa, which the bullet looked down from the main circle, was sparkling with a reflection of the autumn sun, and in front of it, the spear tip of the soldiers of the East Army was shining with a reflection on the sun.

Seeing that sight swarming as if it were Yunxia, Bullet Zheng was smiling, and Kushin, sitting next to him and leaning against the wall, groaned, listening to the sound of smashing Marutai, trying to break through the castle gate of Honmaru.

"No more, that's it..."

It was only a matter of time before the castle gate was broken, having already run out of ammunition and only a few bows and arrows left. Know that, when Bullet Zheng sat next to Kushin, he said, pouring the liquor out of his waist magic bag, serving the liquor and cup, and handing it to Kushin.

"Right. But dying on a pillow with such a fine castle would be happier than anyone else in this world."

And Kushin answered the words of Bulletin, looking at the wine of the cup.

"So is that... Your Excellency, can you be king?

It was a mundane question that came out at the time of his death, but Bullet Zheng answered with an uncontrolled smile.

"You can be. That kid has had something that attracts people weirdly for a long time.

Surely the first time we met was in his first line? Even though it was a loss, I stared straight at him and left him with a knife... funny, but I let him get away with it.

Okay, then. That kid and the cause of the eagle started.

I grew up in a monster when I realized I was going to kill all the people I was working with and say I was going to reach out to my minister even more. "

"Creatures... sure, I think so"

So glad to say, Kushin, who had drunk up, said with a grin when he poured booze on the bullet.

"But when we hold up so far, and the kid's calculations go crazy, he's going crazy..."

This man wants to hate you, but until the end, he thinks of you.

Kushin, who thought so, said again, pouring wine into his cup.

"Zamamikaka... that's good"

"Right. Zaramiro."

So he put his hand on his hip, and when he managed to get up, he stretched out his body once and asked Kushin a question.

"Well, what do we do?

Of course, Kushin understood whether to slay his belly on this occasion or fight through to the end.

Kushin answered as he removed his armor.

"I'm tired. Go one step ahead and wait for Lord Bullet."

And he put his hand upon the knife of his hips, and said unto him, Bullet unto the word.

"Whatever, I'm waiting, I'm not a beautiful woman, and in such a painful jizz, I'm disgusted. Don't worry, I'll follow you as soon as I'm busted... in the afterlife, wait for me."

"I can't wait, I can't wait, I can't wait to die in this world."

Bullet said with a smile to the words of Kushin.

"Lord Kushin, too, has come to say... the words of the times, okay?

That's what Kushin said, pulling out his sidekick.

"The wind invites, on the banks of the wax, I also, in the sky of the floating world, flowers and alan"

It was at that moment, Kushin offered his neck in such a way that it was easy to slash the bullet when he stuck his flank in his own belly. At that moment, Bullet Zheng prayed for blessings as he pulled out the knife on his hips, while slashing Kushin's neck off, watching the blood fall and erupt on the spot.

Kushin, what a fashionable period. Wait in the afterlife.

With that in mind, the walls on the side of Lake Biwa collapsed and Hyogo and Mira came in when they tried to wrap the neck of the rolling Kushin in a formation feather.

To the appearance of the two men, Bullet said with surprise, round his eyes.

"What are you guys doing here?

And when Hyogo and Mira lay flat in the words, Hyogo answered.

"The Yanaga family will originally sit at the minister of Matsunaga. Anyway, Mr. Bullet's fault is on me..."

"This, big joke!

He shouted out loud and said that the Hyogo was turning a surprising eye to the bullet kicking the shoulder of the lying Hyogo.

"You think Matsunaga Bullet Masao Piku-soo, who was said to be this big villain, would slash his belly! It's probably because of you!

And Mirah was also astonished by the word, and Hyogo said unto him even more flat.

"Then will you stay out of this? With my daughter's space transfer, we can go as far as the boat floating on Lake Biwa."

"Doorho. One of us will take many enemies on the road and crush this castle to the pillow.

Mira, listen carefully. The Samurai of the Ruthai Empire do take responsibility for the defeat and make it a virtue to slash their own bellies.

Well, your grandfather and I don't think that's a virtue either. You survive to the end and defeat one or more enemies, remember how bad it is to be alive. "

"Yes!"

With tears in his eyes, he asked Mira, who answers, Bullet Zheng asked Hyogo questions as he picked up his neck, which had fallen in Kushin's feathers.

Hyogo, what's the kid doing?

"I don't know much about someone under house arrest, but there was a rebellion at the Salz Kingdom wedding, and the Royal Hawkon died, and the surviving nobles questioned my father-in-law to become king.

At the time of the rebellion, Cecil had fallen to the death of a murderer and his father-in-law was grieving, but he accepted it and became the first king of the kingdom of Cesar. "

The bullet that accidentally loosened his license to the Hyogo report said something surprising about the Hyogo.

"Well, you've become king... but you've done something wrong to Cecil. Apologize in the afterlife."

Now Bulletin said he did something wrong... didn't all this happen because Bulletin set him up to be king over his father-in-law?

Unexpectedly, Bullet said with a smile to the armory that looked up at Bullet Positive.

"So long. I and Kushin must die."

Are you telling me that Sanho-sama was also involved? What a ploy. This is what they called Nippon Ichi, the great villain, Matsunaga Hideo? My father-in-law, have you been fighting these monsters for so long?

Unexpectedly he gave Kushin's neck, which was beautifully wrapped in a feathery armory, and said:

"If I were you, I'd like to preach, but I don't have time. Pass this to Sancho.

In addition, "the wind invites me, on the side of the wax, I also, in the sky of the floating world, flowers and alan" … this is the phrase of the time of Lord Kushin "

And the Hyogo answered the words with a firm eye on the bullet.

"This Yoo Seong Hyogo assists with rigor. I will definitely give it to His Excellency Sanko."

"Please... tell Kusunaga I'm sorry I left him nothing."

"Not necessarily"

That's what I say and look at the nodding arsenal, Bullet Zheng holds his helmet and goes straight down the stairs. After that, Hyogo and Mira bowed their heads and dropped them off.

Suddenly a voice was heard from behind by a bullet that made a noise with a guillotine and descended a steep staircase.

"No more remorse?

It was the Scrood of Reapers who brought it to the dim ground floor wall and spoke positively. Bullet answered by stopping his leg without turning around.

"Scrood... I'm pretty sure I'm gonna die here, right?

To that word, Skuld said without changing his expression.

"Oh, yeah. So, which world are you reincarnating into, you decided?

Bullet Zheng answered the words, even though the moment was free.

"I'm more obsessed with the other world than the other one. In this world, please."

"Okay. I thought you'd say that."

And it came to pass that Skuld had disappeared from the spot at some point.

Hmm, I'll tell you how much I know... maybe I knew it would happen.

With that in mind, Bullet Zheng wore a helmet, gazing at the disappearance of Skuld.

◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇

In the eyes of the bullet that came out of the temple of heaven, I saw the castle gate of Honmaru, the large Marutai hit many times, and the jaws were screaming.

Is it time?

That's what I thought. Bullets were close to a hundred soldiers, who smiled and received bullets when they realized the time of death. Included among them were a few non-Luthaians, and it was the figure of those who responded to the call of bullets.

He said to the soldiers that he would remove the colt and prepare it from the magic bag, which he had put on his hips.

"I have something to report to everyone. Lord Kushin was slaughtered earlier."

And the words of the soldiers became dark faces, and some wept: but Bullet said with a smile.

"Idiot, what are you crying about? Kushin will see you soon. More like this."

That being said, the bullet was removed from the Magic Bag by a large red glowing, ruby-like gemstone, necklace, but the gemstone part of this necklace was the demonic stone of Port City, in which was sealed the magic of the explosive system to which Cecil had put all his might.

He said he was good at bullets when soldiers looked at him wondering if he just looked like a jewel necklace.

"This jewel is made of the same demonic stone as the Demon Bullet, and in it is enclosed the extra-large explosive magic of Master Cecil, the Third Lady of Your Excellency, who was said to be the demon conductor of that blast.

When you put this on the grenade you took, it turns into a giant instant roaster. Its power will blow this castle away.

Enemy soldiers who pulled this far and beat the castle to death on their pillows... this is sure to be history "

In the words of the bullet, the soldiers were more blinding to its power than worried about their own lives.

Really, all I've got left here are idiots... and that's not all the best idiots.

Even so, when he looked at the castle gate, because it was about to be broken even now, Bullet Zheng said by checking the bullet in the magazine.

"Come on, let's welcome the guests"

The bullet that said so approached the castle gate with a spear stabbed on the ground in armor on his shoulder and a colt on his left hand.

From this castle gate, the other side is connected by two circles and a bridge, so many people are unable to get through at once, one step up, as if it were a bent tiger mouth, the stairs are on the side. Bullet upon the tiger mouth of such a castle gate, as he lay still, he made a noise, and the castle gate was broken.

From just behind the castle gate, which collapses with a great deal of dirt and dust, you hear the sound of simultaneous shooting of artillery, and countless bullets hit the walls of no one. It was at that moment, when the bullets rose and cried out.

"You idiot! There's no way we're gonna wait in a place like that! Assault, show me your guts. No!

At the same time as the honking of bullets, many soldiers jump and slash in. On the bridge, all at once, a riot broke out, and several men, irrespective of enemy allies, fell off the bridge and scattered their lives.

In the midst of such a riot, in the eyes of a bullet, I could see the family crest of a cypress fan.

That is the cypress fan family crest of the Aoi family in Tampa guardianship! Is it the price of betrayal that they put you in the forefront of this castle attack?

"Hahaha! Those Aoi family hipsters! I betrayed you. Good, but you look so untrustworthy. Suck it!"

Tahara, an old Aoi family member, came to the bullet with a large spear.

"Lord Bullet! Hope you can help!

"Wow, isn't that voice Tahara! Leave that neck on the souvenir of the underworld of the eagle!

So when we entered into intercourse, we began to reward each other with mighty spears. We could see each other, in order to rid ourselves of the attack, the attack, and in the eyes of the bullet when we slashed each other several times, with the other two circles, the artillery squads aligned.

At that moment, Bullet Zheng gently played Tahara's spear with only his right hand and shot Colt with his left hand at the Iron Artillery Squad. It took little hitting power to fire at a dense enemy.

Just shoot it and you'll hit it. In that, it was Yahei, Sahei's younger brother, who was aligning the artillery squad, and the bullet plundered Yahei and struck the next soldier.

Unexpectedly, Yahei solidified, and when he saw the muzzle of the bullet, the bullet looked at him like a snake and said:

"Don't impersonate me. It's cold in here."

The Ruthai Empire had little dialect, and when everyone was surprised by the Kansai Valve they heard for the first time, they shook down the spear so that Tahara would slash and tear through it, but Bullet Zheng turned his body to the side, while pointing a colt at Tahara's face.

At the next moment, when Tahara's body slowly fell on his back like a slow motion with the sound of the shooting he said Don, Bullet Zheng placed his foot on Tahara's chest and fired three more shots into it.

Tahara, who had been shot, raised his trembling arm slightly in an attempt to grab the foot of the bullet, but soon the patchouli and arm fell and stopped moving as they were.

Turning to the soldiers of the Tampa army who were surprised by the sight, the bullets exchanged magazines and said.

"Come on, let's go to hell together. Don't hesitate, I'll take you for free."

That should be called bullet justice, to the soldiers who planted fear in their enemies with their actions and unwittingly retreated, bullet justice was a moment when they laughed niggardly and thought this would buy them a little time, when Yahei screamed from among the soldiers, pulling out a knife and attacking them with bullets.

"How dare you!

To Yahei, who was suddenly attacked, the bullet shot the colt, but the bullet passed right next to Yahei's face, but Yahei was still slashed by the bullet without stopping.

Yahei's movement also gave courage to the soldiers who had stopped, and the inspired soldiers were slashed by the others, keeping the anger that had killed Tahara the elder. On the bridge of the castle gate, it was again a riot, and there was no telling who was where.

◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇

The road leading to Honmaru in Hikone Castle passed under the bridge in front of the castle gate, like the plain pseudonym "of," and under the bridge, Tambo Shou and Shinohara, another elder, looked up at the bridge that had become a riot.

"Shinohara. Now Yahei has said your old lady, what's going on?

Shinohara answers Tambo Shogun, who asks Shinohara a question anxiously.

"... Perhaps Tahara was taken over. For a moment, there was silence, but Yahei must be fighting ahead."

Tampa Shogunate answered the words in a hurry.

"That Tahara was taken over!? That's stupid! Well, what's the artillery team doing? Shoot him with a cannon!

"My lord, in this turmoil, there will be damage on our allies, and to say that Yahei slashed it in would have prevented the artillery from being used for any reason. Here, the only way to do this is to push it in numbers… If we could at least use the magic barrier, this would not have happened…"

Shinohara, who said so, guided himself to Yahei and looked up on the bridge, but Tampa Shou was shaking his fist because he felt responsible for this.

◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇

I could cross blades several times, it was bullet correction and Yahei, but even though bullet correction had an advantage with spear, I was unable to defeat Yahei. Yahei was a seemingly unscrupulous move, but had definitely cut off the trajectory of the bullet spear, and whenever the bullet was attacked, in his nostalgia, it was a stream that he said the bullet would somehow prevent, and if he noticed, it was pressed from the middle of the bridge to the castle gate, and he was struggling.

What a mess! At the end of the day, you came out with a Bakemon that you didn't understand.

With that in mind, while waving the spear, the bullet positively questioned Yahei.

"I saw this move as the rest of us. Name your name!

"Aoi Jia Samurai, Yahei Asada, Tokyo!

Asada... you're Sahei's next brother! Shit!

It was when Bullet was surprised that Yahei was Sahei's next brother. For a moment, a gap was formed, and Yahei did not miss the moment.

Yahei protruded in a rush of bullets, and when he threw the spear, he slipped into his pocket and protruded the knife to the side of the bullet.

Hot, blunt pain struck the bullet, but when the bullet grabbed Yahei's torso, he drew it and said as he withstood the pain.

"Brilliant or... yeah, keep running a little farther. Make this area a burning field."

Although Yahei was perplexed by the word, Bullet Zheng pressed Yahei as he was, and when he put in more kicks, Yahei hit the column trunk, out of balance, and fell straight under the bridge.

A normal man would fall from his head and die, but Yahei said to them, as if he were a cat, turning his body in the air and descending magnificently before Tambo Shogun and Shinohara, with a bright blue face, astonished by the sight.

"My lord, please retreat from here! Your Ladyship, give me a signal to retreat!

"Yahei, what the hell happened?

Yahei replied in a hurry to Shinohara, who unexpectedly asked the desperate shape of Yahei.

"Translation, later! I don't have time...... sorry!

With that said, Yahei, with his astonishing Tampa guard, ran away from the scene, and Shinohara, surprised by too many events, screamed in a hurry as he chased Yahei.

"Retreat! Retreat quickly!

Soldiers approached Shinohara's orders in defiance of the order to withdraw in a situation that was overwhelming and at least had a bullet neck kneeling without power in front of them.

I fought like this, everyone fought like this... it's been a while since I moved my body so much. Since I fought when I was a kid who lived in Nishioka with that Michizo?

See, Dozo? I enjoyed my life so much, even when I was reborn... Kid, I'm begging you for the rest... I'm tired...

With that in mind, countless spears pierce the mouth with a grenade safety pin wrapped around a pendant that seals Cecil's magic. The bullet was pulled out of the safety pin with the last force.

And the soldiers, who knew not of it, swarmed to take their necks by the bullets that had been pulled out of their spears, and fell down, and from their hands they lost their strength, and the gobbles and the grenades rolled.

At the next moment, there was a big explosion, and its power was to blow up all the expanded Hikone Castle, turning Hikone Castle into just a pile of rubble at the same time as the roar.

The shockwave was tremendous, watching Hikone Castle fall on Lake Biwa, the boat on which the Hyogos were riding was about to overthrow the great wave generated by the Big Bang, the beads were desperate to control, and Mira was clinging to the boat, but only the Hyogo, among them, lay flat against Hikone Castle.

Eventually, a great deal of rain descends from heaven, whether it is because so many men have died, and it pours down into the rubble mountains of Hikone Castle. In the rain like its scowl, the rubble moved, and Yahei, bleeding from under his head, appeared.

For a moment, when I saw Hikone Castle, which was changing like the rest of the world, I offered my hand to the place where I came out, Yahei said.

"My lord, are you all right?

"... oh"

So he grabbed Yahei's hand, and in the eyes of the Tampa guardian that came out, he saw a heap of rubble.

"... what the hell happened?

Yahei took off his helmet and answered the question of Tambo Shogun, who crawled on all fours.

"I don't know... I don't know, but I just know what Lord Matsunaga did."

To Yahei's words, Tampa Shouxi looked at Yahei in astonishment, and Yahei said with a sad face, gazing at the place where Honmaru would have been.

"Lord Bullet told me then to flee… I suppose he was originally going to attract the enemy to do this"

"Oh well... ho, what about the others?

To Tampa Shogun's words, Tampa Shogun pointed his finger at Yahei, saying that he was inadvertently losing power in a tragic state that he saw around him but no matter how he saw it, no one thought he was alive.

"Yahei! Give me that!

In the eyes of Yahei, who saw in that direction, the stones that would have been used for the large stone walls moved slightly.

There are other survivors!

So he thought, when Yahei ran and approached him, and retreated from the rubble, from beneath him was Shinohara, whose feet were sandwiched by a great stone.

"My lord! My lord, it's your old lady! I will be alive! Are you all right, old man?!?"

To Yahei's words, Tampa Shogun regained the energy to live again, and when he ran to the spot, Shinohara under the rubble smiled desperately and said to Yahei.

"Damn, it's a scan and annoying... dogs or you. Ouch..."

"Lady, please don't move. I'll get this stone out of here."

That said, Yahei looking around, I see a large piece of wood that was used in some pillar. When Yahei got the wood and put it under the stone, he pushed it with the principle of Teco.

The rain became tight, and his feet were taken to the muddy ground, but when he pressed with all his strength, he moved only a little. At that moment, Tambashi himself scratched the rubble, digging the soil on the ground and trying to pull out Shinohara's feet.

"Your Highness..."

Unexpectedly, Shinohara caught tears in his eyes, but with the help of Tampa Shogun, he managed to pull out his leg, and Yahei confirmed whether Shinohara's leg was broken when he approached him.

While his hands were covered in dirt, Tampa Shogung, who helped Shinohara, stared at both hands and couldn't figure out why he had acted like that, but Yahei was drawn back to reality with the painful voice of Shinohara, who questioned Yahei worryingly.

"Yahei, what do you say?

Yahei answered Tambo Shogun, looking at Shinohara's expression.

"It's okay, it's not broken, you must have got a crack in it. You'll be cured in a month."

In the words, Tampa Shoguna and Shinohara, with a relieved look, saw that those around them were searching for anyone else who had survived.

Seeing the sight, Shinohara asked Yahei a question.

"Yahei, what happened to Tahara?

Yahei answered the words, looking down.

"Your old lady, Tahara, was taken over by Lord Bullet Matsunaga... I'm sorry"

Shinohara said with a gentle face that Yahei, who answered looking down, noticed that she was crying.

"I don't have a choice. I fought someone, they fought me, it's a constant battle. There's nothing wrong with you."

"But!"

So Shinohara laid his hand upon Yahei's head, and said unto Yahei, looking at Shinohara.

"Yahei, this is the battle. Tahara would have been ready to be picked up in the face of the battle.

Now wish him luck... because that's all we can do right now. "

To the words, Yahei looked up to heaven, and said to them with a trembling hand, as he poured water on his cheek that he did not know whether it was rain or tears.

"The Tahara thing is not my responsibility... If I hadn't told the East Army back then, I would have avoided such a tragic battle without being taken witches and braves... and Tahara would have lived... many generals would have lived. I'm really sorry to hear that."

For the first time, Shinohara said to Tampasho's apology, turning her eyes round and surprised.

"Nothing is the sole responsibility of the Lord. Neither are we responsible for not being able to stop the temple then.

It is in Tahara and all of us who survived that many generals died. Nothing can only be borne by the Lord. We will be with you. "

"Sorry, Shinohara. It really annoys the Lord that the old man is alone... the battle is no longer a dustpan... I want to go home, to Tampa..."

Unexpectedly, Yahei wiped his tears at the words of Tambo Shogun, and said something surprising to both of them.

"Are you going home, then, to Tampa"

They were surprised by Shinohara's words.

"No, it won't be possible. Perhaps the Coalition forces, Tampa, are also attacking, and if they return, they will run into the Coalition forces and be at war.

Besides, when the lord is captured, he's good and hungry. Worst case scenario, you're gonna get hit in the neck. "

As Tampa Shosho thought, Yahei said to his confidence tap as he nodded at Shinohara's words.

"As a matter of fact, when I was building a castle, I met Amiria-sama's ninja. If you go back, they said they'd do something about it. What about going back to Tampa once and relying on Master Amiria?

Though they were astonished by Yahei's words, Tambo Shogun said with a grin.

"Amylie... ok, let's adopt Yahei's proposal. And Yahei, instead of Tahara, become a homemaker, and from now on, divide the Aoi family's military."

"Oh, is there something about it? Is there someone else in the General Samurai?

Said Shinohara, in astonishment at the words, with a grin.

"What?" Is there something? "If you become a homemaker, you will feel better about Amiria and have a better chance of helping the Aoi family. This is one of the strategies, accept it."

"Strategy... right, strategy, right? This Masahira Asada, I will do more loyalty now than ever!

So he said to Yahei, who lay flat in the mud, "Encourage loyalty" with a little light.

After this, only a few hundred Tampa troops survived, most of them wounded, so Musashi, along with the near-devastated Belgian army, rescued the wounded, then headed over and gave orders for coastline security.

However, the Tampa guards headed north on Lake Biwa to the West Bank, through the decaying trees to Miyama to try to return to Tampa, but here they learned of the Lakes' movements, and because they were not Amirias, they reluctantly returned to Nakasen Road, leaving no way to go beyond.

When Tojo said, because of the explosion in Hikone Castle, which drained quite a few soldiers, he called for 40,000 packs to go south after proceeding to Mino. Without knowing that the northern and central coalition forces had lost their battle, the main unit went to Seta, and another team led by the book went to Uji, and the coalition forces of Yamato Iga went towards peace.

◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇

That night, in the dust and sand, the news of the fall of Hikone Castle enters the ear of Kiyoshin, who is in Seta. A normal man would be struck by grief at the news of his father's death, but he was silently in command of Seta's fortification, as if to slap his remorse.

In a room at Seta Castle, where the main unit was located, Kiyoshin was looking at the drawings and discussing them.

"Well, is the evacuation of the neighbors complete?"

The secretary, Helge, even though his chest was about to suffer, said how painful the appearance of pure faith that punched him into his work was to say so.

"Yes, we've already sent Mount Bee to you for accepting the acceptance of the people."

"That's a good thing. When damage is done to the people, it's hard to rebuild after the war.

So, Colonel Minardi. How's Seta's fortress progressing?

So said Kiyoshin, who nodded, when questioned the man of Centaur, the man answered, pointing to the drawing with the baton.

"With the evacuation of the people complete, we remove all the boards of Seta's bridge so that the engineers can cross the boards again at any time. Besides, we put plates and gates on walls made of earthen sacs so that we can double the doors, even if they break through, like the castle gates in the new section of Nassau, so that we can crucify them in this space, as we did in the Nassau defense."

"All right, now you can pick up the East Army anytime you want."

It was when Kiyoshin said so. And a soldier came and knelt.

"I'll report you! Lieutenant Colonel Yanagi Hyogosuke wishes His Excellency Sanoko all the best."

Willow?

Unexpectedly, when Kiyoshin saw Helge, Helge also said with his neck tilted.

"What is it? The Major was certainly supposed to be cautious in Kyo..."

Yes, indeed, Your Excellency ordered Liu Sheng to be cautious in Kyou... maybe some kind of secret life?

Kiyoshin, who thought so, decided to leave only the secretary Helge and withdraw the others from his seat and meet him.

And when the three men of Hyogo, Pearl, and Mira, who had come for a while, lay still wet, Hyogo said to his astonishment.

"Three good lords. First of all, in spite of our sudden visit, thank you very much for meeting us."

"No, I don't mind. Today, more than that, Your Eminence's secret life?

To the words, the face of the raised Hyogo looked so sad that the Hyogo took the bloody feathers out of the Magic Bag with his spine corrected and placed them in front.

Kiyoshin immediately understood what was wrapped in its feathers. It's a trembling body, trying to get up, but it doesn't move the way the body thinks.

And it came to pass, when the seemingly Helge put it before Kiyoshin with a feather, and with a trembling hand, and opened it, that Kushin's neck came out, and Helge was unexpectedly uttered, and from the eyes of Kiyoshin, was overflowing with tears of large grains.

"Father..."

The moment I accidentally put it into words, the tears will no longer be able to stop, and the expression will be quenched. The Hyogo watched with a straight eye.

Eventually, the shivering but calm Qingxin questioned the Hyogo.

"Did your father have his belly slashed?

"Yes, just before Honmaru dropped... the error was correct"

It was when Helge, who could not understand the matter, tried to speak. The Hyogo spoke as he did.

"The wind invites me, on the side of Biwa, I also, in the sky of the floating world, flowers and alan... this is the phrase of the time of Lord Kushin,"

"The wind invites me, on the side of Biwa, I also, in the sky of the floating world, flowers and alas... what is not the phrase of the Father's time... Father..."

Kiyoshin, who said so, when he held Kushin's neck tight, overflowed his eyes with great tears, just as the dust had fallen outside, and Hyogo and the others returned to the Kyoto mansion as they did.

That night, from the chamber of Qingxin, a grieving voice rang forever.
