Side: Yoshimoto Imagawa

"Monk, I want you to hide."

The next day, the new arrivals and guests staying at Kiyosu Castle were examined by a doctor. The doctor is a rumor pharmacist. Everyone was astonished at the words of the pharmacist, when they saw me, and Snowside, and all the others.

"What are you saying?" If you are the wife of Lord Kuyu, you will understand how important the present is to Imagawa. A monk is not allowed to hide. "

"No. Offer the Lord to hide you even if he orders you to." A monk is no longer a man of government. Are you hiding that you're not feeling well? "

Xuexi immediately shouted that it was impossible, but I saw that Xuexi's face became slightly steeper in the firm words of the pharmacist.

Xue Xai, are you sure about this?

"Isn't it like this that when you get older, it hurts everywhere?"

Something like that... I didn't hear it.

Is it bad?

"It doesn't matter when you fall. I don't think it's sanity to be traveling in a state like this."

I didn't know that Xuezai was so sick. The pharmacist seems to be speaking as he is without hesitation. At least it's not a conspiracy.

I..., I...

"Xue Xai, rest for now." If you fall here, you'll know everyone's in trouble. "

"... haa"

Above all, Xuezai's appearance told me that it was all a matter of fact. When I rested my left-handed Xuezai, I was immediately summoned by the head of the interior carpenter.

Seems like you don't have Xuexi Temple.

Huh, it seems that Xuezai's appearance is also true.

Before coming here, I heard a little from Oda's people, but when the Yakushi ordered me to rest, I said that I could not cover many people. Instead of being the head of the interior craftsman, I thought it would be enough to stop him even by Master Takeshi.

"The river now is the River Suruga and the River Faraway. With two kingdoms, he made obeisance. I can't afford to cut my salary on the grounds of stuffing after the previous rebellion. In the future, there are inspection sites that determine the salary, but they will not be changed. Isn't that enough? Let him rest."

It was true that the Yakushi made a mistake. Do you think the interior craftsman is that sure?

Thank you for your admiration.

"I'm not going to look at each other and talk to each other like this." There is something emotional. In the past few years, I have entrusted Ichima and the others with the task of taking measures against Imagawa. It is commendable that even with that solution, we managed to hold out so far. In the future, it will be good enough to teach and guide young people while seeing how they are doing. "

Yeah, we've been together forever. Xue Xai...... I didn't expect this to happen.

"From now on, I'll leave Xuezai to Katie." Make sure he takes the medicine. It's okay to be stubborn, but it's not good to be stubborn. "

In any case, Xuezai and I had no time. It is thanks to Xuezai that I have been able to come here. Surrender became the last duty of Xuezai. This is the commandment of the heavens.

"Hah, Kanazaya"

Xuezai would have served until the end, and would have wanted to die. But I can't let that happen.

I came to Kiyosu at a good time. There is no chemist in Sugawa who can give opinions on Yukisai.

I am a teacher. It's time to make it easier.

Side: Taiyuan Xuexi

I don't want to be old. I didn't expect to be spotted by the Yakushi at Ogari.

Since when?

When I was resting in the guest room, Miyagi came alone. Are you mad at me? I don't know how to do it, but I don't think you're convinced.

“It's been a few years? No matter what happens, I will leave a will."

I will show Miyagi the will that I have at all times without leaving my skin.

Should Yuanjiang decline?

Although it has been rewritten several times, it is written in the current will that the Imagawa family will refuse to pay the salary of the far river. Even though you will be treated well if you need to with newcomers, you should refrain from receiving the salmon from Oe, which is connected to the Imaikawa river.

"Hah, I was wondering if I should be careful." No one rejoices in a minister who is too big. Even if the head of the inner craftsman is crushed in the next generation, there will be no ex and no children. "

"I was ordered by the head of the interior craftsman to hide you." I have to reduce it with the treatment of the two countries of the Suruga River. With that, I'll let you rest..... "

Oh, does that guy care so much about the river right now?

"Then we should accept it." I have no choice but to leave my home to work. "

Even though I used a monk like a monk to crush him, no one would disagree with him. The name of the Buddha is not a pity. "Nevertheless..."

Would you like to relieve the monk of his role in the present time of a new world?

"The head of the interior craftsman said that he should not teach or guide young people. I'll take care of the river now. I will not take refuge. Let's keep working until you're done."

That's what you might call it in a turbulent world. Both the west and the east were full of strife. I have received the kings of the river now, and I have worked with them to this day: is this also the decree of the living?

I felt that my strength was restored to the eyes of Goya-san. Someday, Oda lost much of its power in the battle against Takeda.

The remorse lingers, as the clumsy monk turns his back to the end and swims in the palm of Oda.

In the end, Miyagi-sama was given the energy to live again, and the end of the Imagawa family also crossed the pass. It may be one way to pull around here.

◆◆

In April 1924, Yoshimoto Imagawa, the guardian of the Astronomical River, made his obedience to Oda in Owari.

It was when the bond between the Spaniards and Oda, who was their servant, which had long been linked in the struggle over the river, finally ended.

The struggle between Oda and Imagawa has changed since the time of Koyuichima's official. The struggle between the two families, which was in the Middle Ages itself, shifted from deciding on victory and defeat in a battle that began with skirmishes due to the activities of Yukima and his wives, to a total battle that included economics and distribution.

Oda has been reforming and developing in just a few years in the economic, political, military, and all other fields, and the fact that he has endured the conflict for so long remains an indication of how capable Imagawa was.

In particular, Oda seems to have doubled his appreciation of Imagawa's ability to govern, and it is even reported that he was not lost in setting up the righteousness that had been opposing him for many years as a suppression of the east in his home city, Suruga.

Regarding the Imagawa River, Kazuma Kuyu said, "I wanted to avoid fighting. That's all, the river was a tough and terrifying opponent."

In fact, it was rumored that the two families had fought several battles, and even though they fought together during the uprising of Mikawa Honjinji Temple, the relationship did not improve beyond the ceasefire.

Although there was a chance that Oda would win the battle, there was also a combination with the surrounding situation and Kanto, and Ichiba and his wives were opposed to the expansion line.

In addition, Takigawa Joshiyo's "Jishi Diary" states that Kazuma wanted Imagawa to be Oda's clan minister for the reunification of Hinomoto.

However, Taiyuan Xuezai, who was one of the few people who was able to confront Daichi's Koyu El, was ordered to hide by the medical examination of Katie Koyu, a pharmacist who was submissive to Oda. It is said in the "Oda Unification Records" that it was discovered that Xuexai was hiding her physical condition.

There is a similar description in the materials of Imagawa, and it seems certain that it was difficult for Xuezai to work on the front line even from before and after.

Although there are some theories that this is Oda's conspiracy, Oda ordered Yukisai to hide, but since then he has been treated well as a monk, and it is difficult to say that the theory is true.

"Even with the Prime Minister in black, I couldn't beat the Yakushi-sama." There are still rumors about Taiyuan Yuezai's hiding place.

It is now believed that the policy of the Kuyu family, which valued human lives, regardless of their enemies, was one of the factors that ended the ties between the Spock family and the Imagawa family in a true sense.
