"Father, what are you up to? ”

When I woke up early in the morning, Kaguya noticed the busy Sanuki Zomaro. Sanuki Zomaro was packing his luggage in his hands, and he didn't know what he was doing.

"Ah, Kaguya. Sanuki Zomaro glanced at Kaguya and continued to pack his things, "The old man is going to go to the capital. ”

"Going to the capital?" Kaguya tilted his head in confusion, "What are you doing in the capital?"

"Go and ask the Emperor for a soldier. Sanuki Zomaro said lightly, "The old man has even prepared the horses." ”

"Ask for the soldiers..."Kaguya stopped Sanuki Sakumaro and said, "Father, are you refusing to give up?" ”

"Whether it's a moonman, a giant, a dragon, or a demon god. Sanuki Sakumaro clenched Kaguya's jade hand and said, "But Kaguya, you are the daughter of the old man, and everything in the old man's life, the old man can't just give you to someone like this." ”

"Father... Everything you're doing is meaningless. Kaguya shook his head helplessly and said, "The tools used by the people of that land can't be broken with swords, and even if they gather more soldiers, they won't be meaningful." ”

Even so, this is not a reason for the old man to stop. Sanuki Zomaro walked towards the door and mounted a sturdy horse, he was not very good at riding, but for some reason, Sanuki Zomaro now sat on horseback as if he were walking on the ground.

Today is the last day of Tsukito's arrival, and Sanuki Zomaro must return to the Taketori Mansion before night falls, and if he can't, he won't even see the last side of Kaguya's departure.

"There is not much time left for the old man, so I will leave it to you at home, Saga!"

"Leave it to me. A girl's voice came from above.

Kaguya looked up, and there was a girl with a ponytail sitting cross-legged on the eaves, it was Saga, and behind him stood Isara, who was inseparable from the girl.

"Yo, Kaguya. Seeing Kaguya looking at her, the girl smiled and greeted her.

"When did you come..."

Seeing the girl's consent, Sanuki Zomaro let out a loud shout and rode away at a gallop.

"Drive!!"

After Sanuki Sakumaro left, Kaguya asked the girl puzzled, "Saga-san, you should know that your father's approach won't work, so why don't you stop him." ”

"It's for the sake of those you hold dear that you fight. The girl said lightly, "Why should he stop him with such a sincere heart?" ”

"Ahh

"Baba yes... It's true. The girl smiled and looked at the two of them who were fighting.

……

Sanuki Zomaro arrived in Kyoto in half a day without the slightest delay, but the horse's physical strength also reached the limit because of this, and it was no longer possible to continue running......

"Hiss-hiss-hiss-hiss-" The sound of breathing became more and more rapid, and the horse's movements began to appear uncoordinated.

Bang――――

Finally, the horse collapsed from exhaustion, and Sanuki Zomaro, who was riding on his back, also fell out.

"Wow... Damn it. But Sanuki Somaro ignored the pain in his body, and with his willpower, he got up from the ground, and his old body burst out with incredible strength, and ran towards the place where the emperor lived, leaving behind the horse that was constantly wheezing.

"Stop, where you go next is where the Emperor is. The guards stopped Sanuki Shukumaro who was running.

"The eight-rank official Sanuki Zomaro has something important to visit the Emperor, and please notify me quickly!!" Sanuki Zomaro pressed the guard's shoulder and shouted.

"Ahh

After saying that, the soldier hurried to the palace.

……

"What?" Emperor Jimmu frowned and wondered, "There is an eight-rank official who wants to see the emperor?"

After layers of people told each other, it finally reached the ears of Emperor Jimmu.

"Yes, the man called himself Sanuki Zomaro. ”

"Sanuki Zomaro? The Emperor has heard of this name. Emperor Jimmu recalled, "It seems that she has a daughter who looks like a celestial immortal, but she sees all the men who love her as enemies, which is interesting." ”

"Tell the order to go down, and let that Sanuki Samaro come to see the emperor. ”

"Yes. The subordinate bowed to Emperor Jimmu in response.

After a while, Sanuki Sakumaro appeared in front of Emperor Jimmu.

"The villain is the Emperor. ”

"So, Sangiqing, what do you want to say when you don't protect your precious daughter at home and appear in front of the emperor?"

"So so...... In the Moon World, someone is going to be sent to greet Kaguya. The villain wants to ask the emperor to send a large army of soldiers and horses to capture those who come from the moon. ”

"Moon World?" Emperor Jimmu frowned and said, "Sanukiqing, are you teasing the Emperor?" ”

"Don't dare, what the villain said is the truth, if there is a trace of lie, the corpse will be broken and will not be able to die!" Sanuki Sakumaro raised his hand and swore.

"Even so, the emperor has no reason to send troops. Emperor Jimmu snorted coldly, "Just for such a child's playful reason, how can you send troops, unless you ......"

“……”

"Sanuki Qing, unless you contribute your daughter Kaguya to the emperor, the emperor will send troops, how about it?" There are countless beauties in the palace of the Shenmu Heavenly Empress, but he is still interested in this Kaguya who can make the hearts of all men in the world move.

“… I'm very sorry, but Kaguya's child was not born to the little man-made maro, but was found in the mountains, so her temperament is different from ordinary people. As Kaguya's father, please forgive the villain for refusing the Emperor's request. ”

"Presumptuous, you dare to talk to the Emperor like this! Don't think that you can be on an equal footing with the Emperor by paying 12,450 taels of gold and rubbing an official position......

"Huh. Emperor Jimmu waved his hand, told the person who spoke to stop, and said to Sanuki Sakumaro, "You are quite bold, and this emperor also admires people like you very much, although you rejected this emperor's words, but this time, ...... The Emperor absolves you of your sins. ”

"Then help you this time, pass the order, send troops. ”

"Your Excellency the Emperor!"

"However...... "Emperor Jimmu's words changed again" is not without a price, this emperor will take back your official title as the military expenses for this military dispatch. ”

"People like you are not suitable to be an official, so you will accompany Kaguya to retire at home for the rest of your life. ”

"Your Excellency the Emperor!!"

"And..."Emperor Jimmu's words changed again, but this time his face became a little delicate, coughing, a little obscene, "Didn't Sanuki Qing help the emperor introduce him to Kaguya-hime?"

"The Emperor's ......"

Therefore, Emperor Jimmu ordered the Imperial Forest Army, selected six large armies, a total of 2,000 people, and ordered a general named Koya Daidai to lead the troops and came to Taketori Wen's house.

As soon as the army arrived at Taketori's house, they assigned 1,000 men to stand on the earthen wall and 1,000 on the roof. Command all the male servants in the house to guard every corner separately. The valets were armed with bows and arrows. In the main house, there were many palace maids lined up, telling them to guard them attentively. The old woman hugged Kaguya tightly and hid in the storeroom.

Sanuki Zomaro stood on the roof, wearing armor that had been turned out of nowhere, and holding a wood-splitting axe in his hand.

"Can such a guardian still lose to those people in the sky?" Sanuki Shumaro shouted at the sky.

"Even if a bird comes here, our people will immediately pierce it. "It's an impregnable wall, and there's nothing to break through it." ”

However, Kaguya doesn't see it that way......
