Keio Sept. 23, '5 Omi Kanyin Temple -

Sansei Ishida, caught two days ago by Yoshimasaki Tanaka's army at Ibukiyama, the tip of his eyes and nose, was removed and closed in a room in this temple except for a wave of sidebars placed on his waist.

Even when it came to claustrophobia, the treatment was still as polite as it was to the guests, and it seemed to represent Yoshimasaki Tanaka and Mitsune Ishida as it were, the generals of this army.

Yoshimasaka was waiting on this occasion to hear from General Tokugawa, Jiayang Tokugawa, about his treatment of Sansei Ishida and his destination.

It's been ten days since the battle of Sekigahara ended.

Even in Ibukiyama, Governor Konishi and many other warlords have been captured, but others such as Hideyoshi Uchita and Akashi Nobunaga are still unaccounted for.

For this reason, not only Yoshimasaka Tanaka, but many warlords who joined Tokugawa were forming near Mount Ibushan to carry out a massive "simultaneous search".

Now, Sansei Ishida, caught, has barely spoken of water or food for the last two days, sitting quietly, staring at even one point.

The appearance was, however, like a statue as usual, and the soldiers of Yoshimasaki, who came from time to time to see how it was, even felt divine.

Though it seemed difficult to deduce and measure in his mind, it was ultimately simple.

i.e. 'nil'.

Hate, anger, humiliation...

Many of the emotions that were swirling in him, both during and immediately after the battle, were 'negative' emotions.

But when he quietly wandered in one of the rooms of this Kannon temple, he washed those emotions away beautifully and transformed them into a white, paper-like mood.

It is, in one way or another, a mindset to the 'death penalty' that will await him after this.

If this neck is dropped, with 'negative' emotions, it will always appear on the face at death.

That's all you have to avoid.

Because this battle was waged for loyalty, and we need to talk about it to the end without Sansei Ishida's personal feelings.

Yes, he was trying to penetrate his loyalty to the Toyotomi until the end, when he killed his emotions.

To him like that, finally, a man with instructions from Tokugawa Jiayang flew a horse from Osaka Castle.

Mitsune doesn't know who visited because it was in the dim room, but because it got a little noisy outside, quite a few people probably came all the way to this temple.

"Well... whoever comes, that's got nothing to do with it..."

Sansei, so whining, turned his eyes again so as to quell the heartbeat of his chest, which was about to speed up its movement.

After a while, the messenger came into Sang-san's sitting room.

When I thought I'd opened the fuzz with little or no sound, I sat quietly with the word "sorry" in front of him. The work is like a stream of clean rivers, sophisticated.

Even if he closed his eyes and was just listening to the sound, Mitsune could tell that the other person was one or another.

Sansei slowly opens her eyes.

What appeared in both his eyes was no exaggeration, Honta Genuine, not to say the proximity in the vicinity of Jiayang. Mitsune had never heard much of his mouth, but had often heard his rumors, and had never forgotten that face, which, even from the side, was emerging with wisdom.

"Isn't this Genuine Hondo... coming all the way over here, in awe"

That said, Sansei bows her head.

"Fair enough, raise your head, Lord Metallurgy. It was this battle and battle that my lord won, but there was something to keep an eye out for in the last assault of Lord Metallurgy.

My lord was very impressed.

The awkward man said from his lord, 'That is the strangeness of the soldiers. Yahachiro should also be apprenticed' so much so that he was reprimanded... haha "

Dry laughter, even labory mouth-watering purity.

But Sansei never cared, such as words just on his upper side, and when he raised his face, he stared into his eyes.

Where I decorated the words for how much, my eyes don't lie.

In the silence of many times, Sang and Purity read each other's sincerity sharply.

Sang's it seemed pure with a strong light in his eyes, not to think of it as a general of the defeated, and the righteousness he believed, even less frustrated.

It was the same as saying, "I haven't given up yet".

For one purity, it was obvious.

It was "no shortage to an opponent named Sansei Ishida," the only outrageous hostility.

A heavy silence called out from Sang-sang as he ruled the small room.

"Genuine lord... this time, didn't that come to tell you about Shisha?

The tone was cool and in contrast to what goes with it in his eyes moves a pure expression, tingly.

But the expression and tone itself answered it with utmost serenity.

"Yes, you're right. However, with regard to the disposal of Lord Yuebe, he said that he would tell you from my lord as soon as he arrived at Osaka. That is in the role of former caretaker, Yoshimasaka Tanaka.

Don't let anything happen to your important governor... "

"Well... your lord is Yoshimasaki Tanaka's guide..."

With that said, Sansei further narrows his distinctive cleavage and stares at purity.

The sharp gaze looms on his pure chest, yet as sharp as a sharp blade, but he returned it, without any movement at all, to its Sanzen words.

"Does that mean I don't feel comfortable with it...?

Sansei opened her eyes and said, "The boulder is only being spoiled by Jiayang all by himself. It's a lot of liver balls," he replied in his heart as he cohabited his admiration and hatred.

"No… I think it is rather terrible to keep this body in the pure temple, which can be described as a katana of the inner temple"

Purity repays "what is not in my heart, even…" with something less interesting in my heart.

"I wonder if this is a terrible thing to dismiss. I am truly grateful to hear such words from Hideo Ishida, who is famous for being a katana of His late Royal Highness Tai."

Was this word pure 'silence' or deliberate...

Despite the fact that it is the same 'katana', one of them is the one who speaks of disposition and the other is the one who waits for its disposition…

It was not so much an individual superiority or inferiority as a result of the superiority or inferiority of those who possessed the 'katana', but rather an insult to the Toyotomi.

But Sansei's heart is undisturbed.

Because he thinks "honestly".

The heavens are no longer shifting from Toyotomi to Tokugawa, and if we are to gain advantage or inferiority in its momentum, Tokugawa says it is more "Yu"...

The purity that makes such a 30% look more and more uninteresting.

What came to his mind was the mood of Tokugawa Jiayang, the master who said, "Oh... maybe that's what I think."

Because he, too, has often been unmoved by Jiayang's "shaking," and every time he sees it, he has seen Jiayang bite his thumbnail in a grumpy way.

Purity, "Sometimes, let's pretend we're deliberately surprised…" so secretly held it in our hearts.

Now, wait for such a pure patrol or not, I've cut from Mitsune to finish this scene.

"Then Genuine Hall. If there is no further shakedown, could you please step back because it is a little tired..."

I also agree purely with that.

But...

"Hmm, then I beg your pardon. By the way..."

And, when it could bring inclusions, it obviously changed the serene look of the earlier days to continue.

The look is cold and colourless. And is the atmosphere that keeps me from saying whether or not it is a homecoming concession that is my husband...

"Have you forgotten what that hip-knife is allowed for?

Thirty-two percent of his eyes froze again at the words.

After all, as you can see at first glance, purity must be trying to harm him.

And in the unlikely event that Sansei dies, he intends to push all of his responsibilities to Yoshimasa Tanaka, a caretaker.

"Ha...? What does that mean?

Knowing what that meant, Sansei inquired extremely calmly and purely.

Until then, however, the serpent-like purity of the eyes will be answered without delay.

"There's more to whiteness than that, Lord Metallurgy.

Now the castle of Sawayama, the base of the LORD, also fell, and I hear that many of the ministers and clans of the LORD have come to a clean end.

Yet where is the logic that the Lord may thus expose life to shame?

The meaning of this word is needless to say, "Why don't you do it when that sidebar is what you allowed to do to yourself".

Even that word, which could be described as a kind of "threat," Sang dealt calmly with it.

"This sword is meant to protect the Toyotomi family. Rather, there is no such thing as a sword that is allowed to take one's life.

Do you want me to live to the point of exposing myself to shame, or do you want me to die… it will be up to me to decide whether it is true or not?

The only one who can bring that judgment to justice is Lord Hideyoshi Toyotomi Kwon, who rules under heaven.

Without waiting for that shadow, you will die for yourself, and so on, the infidels will do. "

Purity loses the word to a flowing argument again.

This was the first time the two of us had talked face to face, but in this short time, Sansei Ishida's "strength," purity was painful.

And "I lived like this and returned to Osaka, one day I will always be a threat," he said, increasingly revealing his intention to kill.

◇ ◇

After that, purity was an "obvious" act, hunting down Mitsune.

Instead of Yoshimasa, calling him here to see how things were, he exaggerated the end of those who scattered in Mount Sawa, and trampled on his heart as he pulled out his guilt.

In addition, if he smelled like he was poisoning his drinks and food, and saw Sang Tzu weaken his drinking and eating smoothly, he gave him a suspicious medicine as a "medicine to strengthen his body".

And Mitsune weakened his mind and his body, and weakened the flame of his life.

But Sansei kept sitting at her temperament.

It is so physically and mentally beyond its limits.

But his faithful heart will not allow him to fall.

And it was also to fulfill my brother-in-law to Yoshimasaka Tanaka, who treated me like a guest, even though I was a defeated general.

If he falls, Yoshimasa must be blamed for it.

And a young master who looked on the brink of the beginning of the war.

He was the whole meaning of his life and the support of his heart.

Even in his hazy consciousness, he kept thinking not about himself, but only about the person who supported him.

And he didn't know why, and it was the sixth night since he was kept at the Kannon Temple.

"... Your Highness..."

I hear voices calling themselves in the distance.

"Oh... maybe this is what you call a welcome..."

Think of this Kannon Temple as a temple picked up by the late Hideyoshi Tai.

In other words, a man named Sansei Ishida was born in the temple.

Lose your life in that temple...

That's not bad either...

And he thought of the unspoken twinkle in his heart, and at the same time tried to keep his consciousness there, thinking of Yoshimasaki and Hideyoshi's face...

It was then.

When breaded cheeks are stretched, that consciousness rapidly returns.

In front of him, Yoshimasa, with tears in his eyes, was staring at Sansei with a full cock in his hand.

"Lord Jibu!! Cheer up!

Mitsune answers that with a weak voice.

"Eat this! Because it's not poisoned!

Then Yoshimasaki ate the porridge in the rice bowl he had himself.

Of course it made me taste poisonous.

Then I fed the porridge to Mitsune half forcefully.

Mitsune chews and swallows it to taste it carefully.

Its porridge, flavored slightly with salt, wrapped its entire body warmly.

"Oh... delicious..."

Would he have ever felt so comfortable living...

As a matter of course, he now eats porridge to keep him alive.

In that life he has devoted everything to the Toyotomi, he has lived with no eyes at all on what supports him.

But that's exactly what I'm looking at now.

It was Yoshimasaka Tanaka, who now wept for himself in front of him, and the people who would have made the rice and salt that was in his mouth.

Regardless, those are not the only ones who supported him.

In the past, many loyalists and soldiers, including near the island, as well as wives and families, and friends such as Otani Prison and Shinzuki Maida...

He had to think of all the people who supported him.

And leaked from the bottom of his heart.

"Thanks..."

And he was determined.

He's not just for those he should be faithful to, but for all the people who have supported him, trying to live the little time he has left...

And then...

Yoshimasaka Tanaka handed Mitsune a small seal.

I didn't think, "What is this? He tries to ask," Yoshimasaka, who controls Mitsune, "Don't put it in his mouth" with his gaze.

Immediately see who the sender of that seal is.

It's...

It was a letter from Hideyoshi Toyotomi, wife of Hideyoshi Toyotomi.

I just saw that nostalgic word, and my heart trembles.

I can't stop crying...

Instead of my mother... no, the North Government, which is my mother itself...

The mother will write a letter to herself, who has become a great sinner under the heavens, and that alone could be dangerous to her.

Still, my mother delivered the little piece of paper with all her heart.

That was enough for him.

And when I looked at its contents, his cleavage eyes grew bigger than any other.

Its contents are simplified…

"Take care of your body... oh"

Whimpering...

Whimpering...

Whimpering...

Would you have felt so much love... Sansei recalls.

No!

Around him was always overflowing with the same love.

That's not just from the North Government.

My lord was originally a colleague, family, friend... and all the people...

I just didn't have the vessel to just take it "honestly".

But he's not right now.

All the words, thoughts, come into his mind.

It whilst still, on his dry earth, as rain of pouring grace.

intensely... gently...

A few pieces of fudge and pieces of paper fall off.

"What is this...?

It was there...

It was all a letter.

"Sakichi! Let this warrior show you a more interesting world! So don't die!... Rushui Kuroda"

"Yay! Saji! Next time we see each other, we'll drink until nightfall! Be prepared!... Kiyoshi Kato '

"Lord Jibu! I look forward to seeing you again. Let me tell you a nostalgic story about my father then... Yoshiji Oya '

Feelings put in one piece at a time depressed Sang's broken heart and body.

Live!

Live!

Live!

Live!

and…

And...

The last one…

"For the sake of all the people, for the sake of the Toyotomi, please continue to do your best. Please!... Hideyoshi Toyotomi '

"Wow."

He couldn't even speak properly, and now he's speaking from the bottom of his belly.

It's not just the voice.

Tears, sweat... every "living testament" came from his body, still so overflowing.

And his dry earth darkened its colour, and from the dying tree, at last one little bud glanced at its face.

Ten Thousand Daikichi.

Born under this heaven, let's do it for all the people who supported us, even if we are weak and frightened...

This life… let it shine until the end, even if it is until tomorrow.

So determined.

It was then.

Genuine Honta came into this room...

"If you think a man will cry, was it Lord Jibu... and Lord Tanaka with you?

So are you prepared?

I didn't care about the heat I got by Mitsune in the room or anything, I looked as cool as ever and asked so pure.

It goes without saying that what it meant was that "I guess I decided to be ready for self-harm".

Sansei stared at purity, reverting to the calm expression she had decided to be prepared for.

Its purity, when you glance at several pieces of paper that fall around the perimeter of Sang-chung,

"Oh...? Is this a letter? From who the hell..."

and tried to get them in my hands.

At that time...

A sharp blade is pointed so as to block its hand.

"What are you going to do? Lord Metallurgy?

The expression hasn't changed since earlier, but the tone is a little rough pure.

The blade Mitsune pointed at was that sideline, which he was allowed to give to his hips.

"With all due respect, if you touch it, it gets dirty..."

Exactly Mitsune didn't say "paper is better," but the intent seemed to have been conveyed purely as well.

I stifled my expression slightly, but still stood strong and urged Sansei to answer the earlier question.

"Do... have you decided if you're ready?

Mitsune points the pointed blade at herself.

"Yeah... thanks to you..."

With its appearance and words, the inside of the pure breast grows.

But...

Next moment…

Sansei Ishida smiled.

Pure to look at that face and have such a stunned look on his face that he doesn't look like him.

In front of him like that, Sansei slashed him with a blade in his hand...

"What are you... doing...?

Genuine to leak unexpectedly.

The gaze was pointed at Mitsune's hand.

In his hands...

Side difference on right hand.

On his left hand, Mitsune's own hair was gripped.

"Just now, Sasuke Sansei of Ishida Metallurgical Department is dead.

From now on, let us enter the Buddha Gate, not as warlords, for the sake of all the people under heaven. "

It was the moment of the death of warlord Sansei Ishida, but also the moment of the birth of Toyotomi's seven-star Souyoshi Ishida.
