545 Episode 544 - Each Fall

SIDE: The inhabitants of the agricultural testing village

"Come on, eat whatever you want"

Hachiya in Qingzhou was still crowded today. There seem to be some people who are a little nostalgic after paying off their seasonal, annual contributions.

He's one of them. I heard voices everywhere moaning that it was incompetent, but not so in your village. That was worse than last year, but definitely better than when Mr. Lin. Besides, it wasn't a bad harvest compared to neighboring villages.

Well, Kuyuan, the deputy, bought up all the rice in the village, and they can get money even if they don't make it, so I don't have a problem with that. I got a special reward for my hard work though.

Thanks to this, the whole family came to Hachiya to say it was a luxury once a year.

"Wow, that looks delicious"

"Those guys over there look delicious too!

The kids are happily making noise as they look at the food the other guests are eating.

"Here, don't make a scene. It'll be a nuisance to everyone around you."

Whoa, my mother scolds those kids, but even such a whoa, my mother is in a good mood today. We bowed our heads to the guests around us, but they all laughed and forgave us.

Don't remind me about that day. About the day I saw the burning village.

He suddenly said he was going to run away from the village elders and fled dressed up. You didn't know what was going on.

It wasn't until I saw the burnt village that I learned that Master Hayashi was plotting a rebellion against Oda's lord. I couldn't stop crying when I saw the house my late father had built for me burning.

If the lord of Oda finds us, will we also be guilty? A young lady from Oda came to me to talk to me about whether I should run away quickly.

If I thought I'd at least get help with the children's lives, I'd be surprised if they all helped me.

It's been three years since then. We have a new child. She doesn't know that burning village.

Now the village monks gather the children once every few days to teach them to read and write. Thanks to this, children are able to read the soft version that has gone around the village, and adults are learning to read and write from the monks that they cannot lose.

The fun is a paper play that comes a few times a month. There was a paper play the other day about the martial arts tournament, but it was interesting.

"Oh, it's not Yosuke. Dinner out?"

"This is now, Master Ba!

If I had remembered from the time of Lord Lin to today, now that I had the samurai with me, I would have been called out to Master Ba.

I didn't know you remembered anything about me...

"You've grown so windy and so happy."

"Yes!"

It's not all about you. He also remembered the names of the children. I'm so happy I'm about to cry.

The children smiled and replied to Ba 'an now that she had called me to say if she had been a good girl.

It is only a few times a year that Ba 'an now comes to the village. About the time I can come with Kuyuan. Master Lin didn't even remember your name.

"Dad, it's delicious."

"I want to come back!

"Oh, let's try to come back"

After that, for the first time, they ate something from the Eight Houses.

Happily laughing at the children and family. Had a hard time coming up with words.

"Thank you for waiting. It's buns."

What surprised me was after I finished eating, a bun I hadn't even asked for and a dozen were carried.

"Well, I didn't ask for this."

"Didn't Julia tell you about that? On my way home, I was ordered to serve a bun here...... We've already paid for it, and please enjoy it."

Bad for the happy kids, but I didn't bring that much money. I tell my young daughter who carried me by mistake what I honestly didn't ask her to do, but she told me something incredible.

"No, but..."

"Julia often treats those she likes. I will bring my disciples here often. So don't hesitate to eat it."

I don't know how, I'm confused, but I received it in a way that your daughter pushed me off.

I have eaten sweets since the watering I received from Kuyuan.

"Wow, sweet and soft!

"Boy, you're in luck!

The sweet buns I ate after the meal were really delicious. Kids get into this delicacy too, and the laughter of the people around them echoes.

Let's try again tomorrow.

For the kids. For Master Oda.

SIDE: A Shinano Nationalist

"Master Takeda is back alive and worthy."

"Damn. I wish you'd died."

"Murakami isn't very fond either."

I heard that Kofi Takeda, who was fighting Master Murakami, lost, and even heard that he had a delightful festival in a nearby village.

I've been attacking you from Kofi for a long time, but now Master Takeda is especially terrible. Resisted villages take everything with them. My relatives' village has also taken root. All that remains is the remains of the elderly.

Those who can afford it bought it back with money, but those who can't afford it remain taken, I don't know what happened.

Wind rumors tell me that many people have died from being put to work in mines or something. My relatives couldn't help him either.

"Oda of Ozhang will feed you even in the territory you attacked."

"That would be bullshit"

"That seems to be the fact. For that matter, they're going to make you work."

They gather at the village temple for future consultations. When Takeda is alive, he will attack again. Shinano's samurai lose nothing but pity, and many have descended to Takeda.

He said he had formed an alliance and was unilaterally broken. I don't trust Master Takeda.

In the meantime, one man told me the story of Far Aoi Zhang.

He has relatives in Hozuki's territory, but he said he heard from them.

"I'm being deceived. There's no one like that."

"Right. There's a guy who feeds his food before he attacks any country. There's no point in fighting."

Nobody in the village believes me. Certainly. There's no way.

In Shinano, Takeda lost, so much so that the people who had come to fight according to Takeda had fled and vandalized everywhere.

Naturally, he also came to our village. I gave it back, but there are dead people here, and the fields have been vandalized.

Even Takeda took rice and people out for the fight, but the guys who lost there went self-destructive and vandalized all over the place. Thanks to this year there will also be many hungry people in Shinano.

The weak have to die. You just have to be strong if you want to live.

I don't know if it's Mr. Yuan, but Master Takeda is just a thief. All you have to do is go down in heaven.
