1000 Episode 999: Cherry Blossom Gathering and Kansai Crusade

Side: Kudo Ichiba

The cherry blossoms are blooming. Is it just a little more than full bloom?

The calendar entered March. It is a regular cherry blossom festival for three days from today.

The festival has already been run by the Oda family. Of course, we work as part of it, but we can do it without even taking the lead.

In Ise, it's about time that the northerners fought. Nagano couldn't avoid a fight in the hope of harmony. Again, I think it is difficult.

However, Nagano is not pacifist either. We just don't want to fight because we can't win. On the contrary, when Nagano can win, he will want a fight. That is the samurai of this era.

That's right, Seki. There was trouble again. The elder of the Sekiya insulted Spring with blood on his head. It is said that it will be sent to Kiyosu because it is difficult to dispose of. I reported it to Nobuyasu because the news arrived early, but I decided to put him in jail.

Neither I nor Nobuhi-san have a stepsister to meet and ask for an excuse, and I'm not that busy. It will be difficult to forgive. If I only made a fool of Spring, I could judge it, but if I was insulted as an Oda family, I couldn't help it.

It's very busy.

Kiyosu-ichi, the main venue is a temple with stunning cherry blossoms. I also brought Elle, Daibu Maru and Jimi, but it was very busy. What I think is changing is that many women have the status of samurai wives.

From this afternoon, there is also a flower viewing banquet hosted by Yoshimi-san. They must have gathered to attend, but in Ogura, the samurai's wife also appeared from the Mansion on a daily basis.

Restricted to Kiyosu, Nakono, Kanae, Tsushima, and Atsuda, security is good in this era. Even women with status can walk the town with a small number of escorts.

Come on, come on, who wants you to draw it?

A painter was drawing a sketch when his voice caught him looking at him. In the case of Ozaki, Keiji started originally. More people unexpectedly imitated it with a good reputation.

In order for a painter to draw a picture, there are generally unpaid honorariums for ordinary people. Paper and ink are not cheap and technical fees are high.

However, as part of selling fame in Onari, it is becoming established to draw a simple sketch under the name of training. The art department of the Fall Martial Arts Games. Popular votes taken in there. That is the cause.

Drawing pictures that are popular with the people will increase their work. Merti and Keiji have not received paintings from anyone other than the basic Oda family, because painters are not their main business.

"Fufufu, you've got more stalls."

Elle, who was looking up at the cherry blossoms, gladly turned his gaze to the stall.

"It's true."

There were stalls in Ozaki, but there were no stalls like the original world festival. That has now increased the number of stalls. It ranges from the historical Edo period stalls of 28 soba noodles to stalls that can be held by a few people.

Some of our wives taught us ideas, others were thought of by craftsmen of our time.

Oh, more craftsmen. In this era, there are also craftsmen who travel and work in various countries. I work all the time in the countryside and the countryside. I heard that such craftsmen often come to Oguri and settle down.

Speaking of craftsmen, I was sent by Hida as a carpenter. Well, Kiyohei, a craftsman, was impressed that he was better than the rumors. However, their Hida craftsmen don't have much work to do when they go home, and they are full of life even if they do.

Some of those who were scheduled to return home, mainly young craftsmen, remained behind. I rooted it in my sister's trail house. Others have returned and taken their work home with a helper made of tailoring. That's where the wood comes from. Hida is fine if you want to make a product.

And the craftsmen from the Western mainland have not lost. The paint has become popular and thin at once as an Ogura Ouchi paint, but in addition to that, it makes a variety of other crafts. Honored as the capital of the West, it is amazing at the skill level of the Otuchi family, which incorporates the continent and public culture.

The influence of such artisans can be seen all over the cherry blossom festival.

I want everyone to have a good cherry blossom festival. That will be the vitality of tomorrow.

Side: Spring

"Hmm. I wonder where we're going to fight."

The elder of Seki. You did an extra thing. You can't forgive me if I insult you so much. Moreover, Kobe's takeover of Seki is imaginative.

I got word from a bunch of undercover ninjas that such a gang is mobilizing soldiers. It seemed that they originally intended to participate in the Nagano attack in Kitano, but even if they were banished from Kitano, they mobilized.

"Of course you're going to fight us. It is clear to Seki that there is no harmony beyond the old man's return."

I wanted to consolidate the border, seal off the economy, and leave it until the Nagano attack in Kitano was over.

"I don't think showing a weak attitude here is going to be a negotiation."

Did you want to move before the battle between Kitano and Nagano ended? When you settled down, you also considered that you could attack from both Oda and Kitakami. Worst of all, Nagano became an enemy.

The order came from Kiyosu to attack. I understand there's nothing offensive about the thief, but the suspicion that he was in trouble hasn't disappeared. There's the old man's rampage. If you have a sweet face, it will not be good for the future.

I don't care if I'm insulted by a fool who doesn't even see the flow of the world, but I can't say the Great Hall forgives me. Not for your position or authority. Forgive me for being insulted, but there is a concern that Oda's long-standing relationship will crack.

Oda and Kudo have many ministers. Even if we are able to communicate with the Grand Duke, we must not allow it as a costume.

"If you want reinforcements, I'll send them over. But the future is not coming, right? Would you like me to attack you as a general? I think it's better than me."

Well, it's good to attack Seki. The problem is that I have been entrusted with it again. Naturally, of course. It was me who was insulted and on the front lines. Nevertheless, the age of women's status is not necessarily high. The generals have considerations.

"How about Kobe Hall?

It seems that Mr. Sasato has no intention of doing so. When I glanced at it, I was smiled bitterly. You will desperately defend your opponent without any land introspection. It's not that easy, is it? Sometimes you understand what I think as a guard general.

"If you are ordered to go, let someone go. However, spring will be the general here, and I will be foolish to think that we should work."

That's right. We are not different. "

Will no one volunteer at Kobe Hall or at the house of former northerners? I'm going to come out here if I'm willing to speak up. The fact that my face has been crushed also plays a big role here.

"I see. Thank you for your consideration. Kobe Hall, call the Sekiya for a monk with a known face. I recommend surrender."

"Yes, immediately."

We'd better get off Seki-kun now. Deception only reduces the reputation of everyone here.

At least we need to get off before Kitamoto does.

"Then we will continue to enter the military council. Anyone with a plot of land should take the initiative to give their opinion. The reward comes from me, too. You can count on it."

This is not without land introspection either. Details of the Nagano and Kansai territories are read in advance. Nevertheless, we need to give everyone an opportunity to be active and a place to participate.

I'll finish it before planting.
