577 Episode 576 - Accidental Dead End

Side: a long time ago

"Those captured yesterday were Shinano's."

The next day, Ichigo and Hozuki reported the results of the thief's investigation. I don't know what kind of investigation you did. There's no human rights for bad guys in this day and age. It was fast, and I guess it's been a pretty tough investigation.

Shinano?

"I'm sorry. In fact, he was the former head of the Shinano-Hozuki family, the Itchy one who asked for Mochizuma-sama."

I somehow thought it was a grudge against the Takeda family, but then Mr. Hozuki bowed his head deeply.

Hmm? What do you mean?

"Is it someone who relies on Hope Yuechang to lose to Takeda when it comes to his former lord?

I'm sorry, but I'm not familiar with history enough to know the predecessors of the Hozuki family. However, when I talked about the Shinano Hozuki family, I know if I asked Elle or Hozuki about it.

"Yes, my predecessor Shinano Hozuki was the one who lost the battle against Takeda."

Did the brigadier come to Ozhang and do evil in the name of the Oda family minister?

In the first place, the Shinano-Hozuki family today becomes a commonplace rather than a current of the Shinano-Hozuki family. If you ask me, Hokuyuechang Ask, the original Shinano Hokuyuki family currents, is alive and out of the house, but they're after opportunities for restoration.

Well, losing the battle and most of the clan went down to Takeda, so they weren't dealing with him, and Mr. Hokizuki was also interacting with him by acknowledging the new Hokizuki family that Takeda recognized, but does that mean that the Hokizuki Ozawa family put that to guess and sent their use to Ozawa because they had more power than expected?

"So you're saying the aim is the Oda family or us?

"Ha, that's how it is. Thank you. You still seem to recognize the president of the Wanted Moon clan..."

Mr. Hozuki is sorry, but honestly I don't think Mr. Hozuki is going to be talking about apologizing. Well, it's a time of strong clan connections.

Hope Moon's story is that Hope Moon Chang Yi, who lost to the Takeda family, has yet to give up his territorial recapture. Nonetheless, most of the clan decided to go down to Takeda and live under it, and the Koga Hozuki family recognized that as their main point.

However, with the emergence of the Ozhang Houyuki family here at once, he also thought of returning the Oda family as the Houyuki family president behind his back.

Perhaps Shinano Hozuki family officials were providing some assistance. The old lord, though he fell. People in these days are surprisingly courteous. I guess that's where you heard about Ozhang.

He also shared his speculation that if the Oda family, who also held Mino almost in their hands, might have decided that the name of the Shinano-Hokizuki family general would also be useful.

"So you said you targeted the Takeda crossing witch for a souvenir?

"That sounds like a coincidence. I stumbled across it yesterday and it seemed like I was going to make it a souvenir. He said he was a crossing witch I saw in Shinano. Those who were sent also seem to resent Itsuki Takeda..."

I know what you're thinking. Nevertheless......

"You gave me a greed I don't need. I wish you'd honestly relied on me."

I guess it's a common idea in this day and age. You wanted to show strength more than reason.

But is it the name of the general of the Nobunaga family? I don't need it for us, but I think I'll do enough to assist that Shinsu might be able to use it someday.

It's not a good idea to turn Takeda against the enemy at the moment, but it's a bad idea not to trust him there. In case it turns out to be a Shinano attack card.

Well, I'll report it to Shinsu, and I shouldn't be the judge, but I'm not impressed, am I? I took the liberty of using the name of the Oda family.

Side: crossing witch

I didn't know those who were attacked yesterday were the relatives of the Shinano Desire Moon family. I thought he was a Koga by naming the name of the Oda family, but if you think about it, there seems to have been a slight hint of Shinano. Though he seemed to hide things that would enlighten him about his identity.

"Right. Do you have a belt?"

"Regards!

On this day, me and the man are coming to Kuyuan's mansion. The man told me to take everything about me and I nodded.

But can I really rely on Master Kuyuan? It is painful for me to bother you after saving your life.

"So what does the Witch Hall want to do with the Takeda family?

"The..., especially not that loyal..."

I don't know if I can tell Kuyuan, a samurai, but I was originally the daughter of a poor village in Shinano. He was bought by a Takeda minister because he had a reputation for good instrumentality.

But I was hated by the wife of that one, and I was deposited where I was about to be killed where I was raising a woman's vegetarian breaking.

Everyone else in the family is red more than they were sold. I don't have a home either. Don't starve. I feel no thanks for living to this day, but I also don't think this would have happened if the Takeda family hadn't come to Shinano in the first place.

"Okay. You two should work for us. That's how it looks for the moment. Neither will the Mitsu until they attack our people."

I honestly told Master Kuyuan about my situation and thoughts. As a result, what a way for Kuyuan to use me and a man as his downwork.

You must not lay your hands on Kuyuan's house. Even the downworkers and vegetarian breakers have heard that if they get their hands on the Kuyuan Itchy, they will come to retaliate. Well, I also thought it would be an exaggerated rumor.

But why can you get that far? I don't know.

"I'll tell you just in case, if you betray me, it won't be a lot of things. If anyone is held hostage by Shinano or Kofi, tell them now. Turn your hands here."

"... I have a family. I haven't seen him since he was sold."

Our figure was deposited with Hachiro Takikawa. I know this one. He was promoted to the elders of the Kuyuan family by virtue of his loyalty.

I am not willing to betray you. It's a lie when it comes to not caring about your family, as pointed out though.

"Okay. I'll take care of it, you can't do it like it's bad. If Takeda makes contact, report it. Deal with it well. Look, don't just make a discretionary decision. If you don't betray me, it's Kurumiya's code."

I talked about my birth village and my family and they told me about the future. We seem to be working in a clinic called a hospital for the time being.

Takikagawa told me not to make unsolicited decisions so that I would be pressed to be cautious. The behavior that I thought would lead to the opposite result. I understand it's common.

Nevertheless, I didn't know you were bound to protect it. Your head is only in Kurumi's house. You should say don't touch it.

"Thank you!

The man who becomes my family seems to be a man who doesn't know to doubt people. I'm honestly delighted and Takikawa-sama has a bit of a bitter laugh.

"Dear Takigawa, may I ask you one thing?

"I don't mind. What?"

"Why can you get this far?

Finally, I decided to ask Master Takigawa my biggest question. If you're telling me not to make unsolicited decisions, let this be one of them again.

"I think the lord liked that we tried to save each other's lives. That's the way the lord is. If you look in front of me, you can't leave me alone. I know it will be in the interest and power of the Kurumiya family."

If Takikagawa is right, he's a horrible person. Follow people with your strength. I can't believe you use people with your mercy, not with your use.

Everyone will envy you if you ask. But there are everywhere those who work and betray the ungodly. If that's what it's all about, everyone should.

But the reality is ruthless. I can do flat out what people can't do even if they want to. I guess that means you're still different when you're born without an identity.

I come with a new life under a new Lord.

With this stupid, comforting man who doesn't know to doubt people.
