748 Episode 747: A Man Named Shoten Ando

Side: Shoji Ando

In the autumn, our castle, which was supposed to be busy with taxes from all over, was a quiet one. No one else in the neighborhood has stopped leaning in. Naturally.

"If this is the case, you should have been on your side with the guardian."

No one answers a sigh of truth. All ministers are going to receive it. You're refusing to pay taxes on the territory.

Maybe the punishment for abandoning your guardian hit you. If I had shown martial arts and faith there, by now I would have been at the head of Nishi Mino, not his family.

I sent a sentence to Oda. He wants the customs office tax to be reduced because he is in a little trouble. I don't want many. Just stay where you are. Then I can do it. Both Oda and the battle ahead won, but Kitakomie Three Counties seems to have been taken to the hex. There is also a river in Surugawa. It was supposed to be indispensable to the enemy.

I have my powers. If that's what you think, you said you've been waiting for your chance.

That's... Why is Imawa responding to Swamp's invitation? I didn't know you even came to Asahina Taineng, which is said to be the most trustworthy of ancient ginseng, Taiyuan Snow Sai, which is said to be near the side of your forefather in the enemy land. I can't believe it.

There's no pride in this river?

And one more thing. Something happened that I was afraid of. The Mino guardian of the Spur family took office. Are you saying that it wasn't just the official position that I got in Upper Lo?

I worked as an Oda soldier in the Battle of the Three Rivers. If I tell you to let the soldiers out, I will obey. The same treatment as that of the enemy is not satisfactory, despite it.

"Were you here? Brother."

Taro Left Gate.

Looking at the armor helmet I inherited from my father, my brother Taro Left Guard showed up single. Don't look so stunning. I've told you many times not to put things on your face to think about.

"Do you think it used to be good?

"Oh, I think"

Sit next to me and watch the armor helmet with me. When I was young, I used to look at armor helmets like this. When he remembered it, Taro Left Guard drank his breath and called out to me.

I just remember the old days these days. About when my father was alive, about being haunted by the civil strife of the Tuki family, between the Saito family and the Tuki family, and so on.

"But a lot of people think it's better now."

"Apparently."

I know too. Oda's reign is skillful. Makes you believe in suspicions about how far you are. Doesn't it always seem like a boy of the sect?

"Are you going to kill me?

I asked my brother, who was always nervous enough to explore this place, to go straight in.

"Brother..."

"Otherwise, how many years do you think I've been doing brothers? You put everyone together with that?

I knew as soon as I saw his face. That you have a shitty resolve. No matter how many brothers, they rarely become just the two of us. When people ask me if there's anything at all to be vigilant about each other, I can't say no.

"Brother, you can hide. Then you can keep the Ando family."

Sweet. How sweet. This brother. Stepping back, he bowed his head deeply and squeezed out his words to plead with me. But you can't do that.

"Slash."

"Brother...?

"Slash me, take my neck, and immediately swear allegiance to my inner head"

"Brother!!

A fool. Why do you not know that? Thousands of opportunities for that. Mr. Andogo vowed allegiance to Oda until he slashed his real brother. Only then will you finally believe me.

Let's convince the generals and ministers of Nishi Mino. The Ando family can survive even in the world of Oda.

"My brother doesn't know. The inner head doesn't want a neck or anything."

"No one is unhappy that the worms in the lion disappear. It is with that much sincerity that we have a long way to go. Otherwise, they'll kill you."

"Now!"

Oh, will you be so loyal to this brother? A man who is not fit for turmoil. If Oda reigns, we can live.

"But when I said obedience, this end was decided."

Taro Left Gate was the first person to say he was subordinate, I think. It would be because his wife is Yamanuchi's house in Ozhang. They all followed without a fight, bearing a house called the Ex-Customer.

I used to think of them as fools, and insulted them both as cowards, but I hear that Isesho is busy working at Ozheng, such as accompanying Ueno.

"I don't want the minister to talk to me or wake me up. But this life, it will come true to me."

The cold autumn breeze blew in. It's time for snow in the north mountains. Wouldn't Mino like it up ahead? I want to see it, but I don't want to see it.

"I'm sorry to expose you to shame."

I don't like it. In the end, that word will be everything. Neither Swob nor Oda likes it.

"Ugh..., brother..."

"Fool. Do you have someone to cry about? It is the statute of this world to slaughter even if it is necessary to doubt with the fruit child. That's life."

It's a man who can't help it. I don't think I'm gonna cry.

"Oh, boy, you're in trouble"

It was then. It was a woman who sounded like she was scared from somewhere.

"Who!

Take the knife immediately and guard the area. It was the kids on the journey who hid their faces with black cloth that showed up. Ten people just in the eye, maybe more.

The Oda assassin who came to kill me and my brother? The men of the castle are no more alive than they have been brought here.

"It's me. Lord Ando."

"That was... at night"

But unexpectedly, the man in the center took the cloth that kept his face hidden and showed his face.

Common name, night. Is the name Ursa for sure? I have no doubt that this is the man who did the most in the battle against Migaemon Shinji in the depths of Kuyuan Temple.

When Spur and Oda went up the other day, enough to hear that they left the castle in their hands. A woman who thought no one could move without Mitsugawa or Mino.

I'm surprised you don't know, even if you turn your gaze to Taro Left Gate. Are you saying it's not a planting?

"Forgive my disrespect. Honestly, I didn't mean to speak up. I've been wondering how Taro Left Guard is feeling."

I'm not willing to fight. Look in that eye. Okay. It's the rumored Kuyuan family vegetarian breaking that's taking him. I can just see it's hands-on. And when I delivered the sword into my sheath, I threw it into the night.

"You've been very accommodating. The people of the Kuyuan family."

"Yeah, I've been scolded a lot"

"Just fine. From now on, Taro Left Guard will slay me. Be the bearer."

You can't win if you fight. I don't know if it's true or false, but there's no reason for Kurumiya to assassinate me and my brother here. Then we have to use this situation.

"That's not true. Neither the guardian nor the Great Hall want anything more than the death of Lord Ando."

I didn't get many words of surprise. This guy, did he show up to stop me!? What are you thinking? Or did you come here to conspire?

"Subordinate to Oda. Unlike Lord Ando's thoughts, there are still battles ahead. Don't you want to stigmatize me?

"... whose will is that? Master Wu Wei? Is that the head of the innkeeper? Kurumoto-kun?

"It's my will. I thought it would be a shame to see how you two were doing. That a new world is to come, but that we are still trapped in the ancient world. But don't worry. I wish for the Guardian and the Grand Hall."

What do you mean?

"Stop laughing. Say it's a new world? It can't be like that."

"Are you afraid? To see a new world?

"Don't listen to that word!

"Then live and make sure with your own eyes. Well, I'm not saying I can't. If you are afraid, die. But this is all I have to remember. No one remembers the name of the dead."

At night, when he said what he wanted to say, he left without even hearing my response. What a grace. But I get it. Do you mean I'm a fool?

"Taro Left Guard. I will hide. The governor did, but inherited."

"Brother...?

"Why don't I give you a ride, to provocation. I bow to Oda alone. Shall I show you? A new world for the Kuyuan family."

If you die, you will not have a name. I know that. But I just can't stand being called a coward.

Look, if there's a gap, Kuyuan and Oda will take it away.

◆ ◆

twenty years of astronomy, autumn. Shoten Ando, the last big man in Nishi Mino, subordinated to the Oda family.

It seems he could not keep up with the changing Oda, and it is said that the realm was one step ahead of the rebellion.

Fight, will the minister kill you? A man who was said to be a matter of time is suddenly making a policy shift when he subordinates and letting his brother, Mr. Andogo, succeed him.

In the meantime, I hope I wished to submit as a samurai, which seems to have surprised the whole Oda family.

Details of the matter can be found in the "Journal of Asset Clearance" of Shiqing Takigawa. Shoujo Ando was never a man of hope, but his brothers were often stopped by Ursa Kuyuan at night when he ordered his real brother to slash himself and serve Oda.

It is unclear why Kuyuan Ursa was on the spot. In one theory, Shinsu ordered it or a horse ordered it, but no details remain and remain a mystery.
