947 Chapter 946: Reunion During Cleaning

Side: Kudo Ichiba

"That's a lot of people."

"Ufufu, when I asked everybody, it was so crowded."

Today is a day of sweeping schools and hospitals. Many school students live in dormitories today. I've been instructed to go home during the New Year's holidays, so I decided to clean up a little early.

Asha, who is in charge of the school, welcomed me, but it seems that not only the people attending the school, but also the neighboring residents, and the cleaning has already started with a large number of people.

I came for breakfast. It seems that the people came with the dawn to clean up.

I don't think there is a concept of volunteering in this era. However, the local castles and temples have the value of supporting themselves. As far as Asha is concerned, he is thankful for mowing the vast grounds in the summer.

"Hey, here we go!

When I tried to participate, I saw the craftsmen climbing the roof with ladders. Thank you for cleaning and inspecting the roof.

Nearby, I can see and smile at the children who are happy to break the old barrier in order to replace it.

I'm just looking at it and I'm going to join right away. Desks and chairs seem to be taken out and cleaned thoroughly. I carry it, but everyone seems to be using it carefully, and there are no idiots who scratch or graffiti.

"It's been a while."

Everyone, regardless of identity or position, was carrying a desk and a chair, and a black-skinned person called out to him.

Ah, Takenaka Hall

For a moment, I didn't know who. A typical conservative samurai dressed in a pishi kimono is changing to a rough look. There are a lot of people like that in the Navy.

He is Shigemoto Takenaka. He is the father of the Hanbei about the Takenaka Heavy Tiger who returned home the other day.

"Thank you very much for your help, Mr. Takenaka."

Honestly, I don't know much about it. About this guy. Personally, nothing like that. People who were just in a position and could not be easily forgiven and never met.

"That was done by the Guardian and the Emperor. I'm not doing anything."

Double tiger also carries a desk and chair with his children. Seems that Shigemoto came to help. Thank you, but I didn't really do anything. I think it's Shigemitsu, who works for the guard, and Shigetigo, who goes to school.

"The sea is a terrible place. But... it's been a full day. Stand up to the heat, survive the storm, and even aim for land. I'm ashamed of myself that I didn't know there was such a life in the world."

Somehow, Shigemoto was surprised to talk about his days on the boat with a clear face. I thought you were resenting me more typologically.

"I'm glad you're back safely. There are many people who cannot return to our home. But if we don't cross the ocean, we can't live."

"I didn't know the Kudo family lived on such hardship and sacrifice, so I apologized. There are many enemies outside of Japan. I'm sorry I didn't know it was natural."

Shinko-san would understand our difficulties if he got on the boat, so everyone who was cheeky was joking about getting on the boat. It seems that Shigemoto left Nippon to learn a lot.

It's a long voyage. You must have talked a lot with the sailors.

"Hidden. I'm a little jealous. I can live what I want."

"For a while now, I'd like to keep an eye on Takunaka's house."

I don't know what people really mean. But there must be a way forward if we can make our cause a thing of the past. I want you to do your best.

Shigemoto went back to help with the cleaning.

"So, should they use it here?

"Yes, I can't go back to Izu Oshima yet. I know it's hard, but please."

I was told that the Izu Islands had been transferred from Hojo, but one day Yukino-sama brought the people who had evacuated Izu Oshima, where the mountains had fired, from Kanto.

When I heard about it, it seemed that most of the people who had never left the island were surprised to see the crab river. I was brought here by Kuwana, who lacked the manpower, to serve as a director and let her eat here for the time being.

"The Oda domain of Northern Ise mobilizes the people to serve on the Mikawa River, with the exception of the temple domain of the Hitachi sect. The district attorney and the soldier have been appointed, but the land is quite large. The manpower has never been better. Oh, and I'll teach you how to read and write."

"It would be helpful if you did."

I have a lot of work to do. Then, if I taught him the Kudo family's code and how to read and write letters, and suggested that it would be useful when I returned to Izu Oshima, Snow No-sama was also delighted and slightly smiled.

However, Hojo has done the same to me.

Help those in need. It is common in the Kudo family. Nevertheless, saving the people of another country in a world of turmoil is impossible. Surprisingly, it was a natural thank you from Hojo to give up the territory. I want to suspect it's a conspiracy.

"I think Hojo is looking ahead. This will give you alliance-like friendship. It's worth more than a remote island."

"If you say you're a terrible opponent, you'll get scolded."

I thought I was afraid of Yukino-sama's words, which were spoken indifferently. I didn't expect to see Oda far from Kanto and take such measures.

"There's nothing to scold. Unfounded falsehood is unnecessary. Hojo, Hexagon, Hokkaido and Imakawa are all terrible opponents. They're always thinking about wisdom in partnership with us."

Expand your territory and make your house bigger. Anyone who is not a samurai thinks. Take it before it's taken. It is not uncommon for a person to say that it is a living technique.

But there are people in the world who look beyond that. Hojo wants to dominate Kanto, but I wonder what he wants to do beyond that. Kanto became a despicable "Hina" land, and it was once the place to rule the world in Kamakura.

You want to rule the world in Kanto again?

Thank you very much.

Well, it's my job now to keep Kuwana and Kita Ise from getting rough again. Let's think about it before we finish it.

The more territory it spreads, the more difficult it is to cure. Even the merchants of Kuwana, rather than Hexagon and Kitakami, could not plan anything better if they were easily forgiven. I've never been too careful.

In Kuwana, Oda's way of doing things is too different from his own, so there are quite a few people who are confused.

I wish I could get back to Ogura before the New Year's holidays. I don't know what to do.
