Chozenji Temple, the hermitage of Mrs. Oi.

"No way!" Mrs. Oi asked Harunobu Takeda, who came to visit her, very resolutely, "Didn't you send Yami to me a few days ago to recuperate?"

In a few days, you're going to bring Yami and Inomaru back to Suwa, what are you going to do?"

"Suwa is indispensable to Kai, so we have to drive the Takato army out of there no matter what. For this reason, I must support the eldest son of Suwa in order to win over the people of Suwa!"

However, Mrs. Oi still objected to Takeda Harunobu's reason: "If Suwa is indispensable, then you can't use such a small trick to drive away the Takato army with your own strength."

You are the one who killed Yami's husband, and you are the one who took away Inomaru's father, so don't let those two suffer anymore. ”

Although Princess Yaya is not Lady Oi's biological daughter, Lady Oi, who sympathizes with her plight, still wants her to spend the rest of her life in peace.

His mother's opposition also made Takeda Harunobu speechless for a while, after all, he always felt guilty about his sister.

"I'm Mimi." At this moment, Mimi's voice suddenly came from outside the house.

Mrs. Oi couldn't help but nod and asked, "Well, what's the matter?"

"I have something to say." Yami said.

"Come in, come in!" So Princess Yami went inside and asked, "Please be sure to bring Yaya and Inomaru back to Suwa." ”

"But you'll have to recuperate here for a while longer!" Mrs. Oi couldn't help but persuade her, she really didn't want Princess Yami to fall into strife again.

However, the last wish of the dead Suwa Yorishige is to let his son-in-law Inomimaru inherit the family business, and now in the face of such a good opportunity, how can Princess Yaya give up?

So Princess Yaya hurriedly refused Mrs. Oi's kind pleading and said, "No, even if it was a moment earlier, I want to bring Inomaru back to Suwa as soon as possible, and Inohmaru must be raised by Suwa's water!"

Then Princess Yami even asked the enemy Takeda Harunobu: "My lord, please!"

However, at this time, Takeda Harunobu said with some hesitation: "But, as my mother said, you should rest here for a while longer." ”

"Mimi is already very energetic!" Princess Yami hurriedly and eagerly requested, "Please take Yami to Suwa." ”

"No, let's recuperate for a while before we recover."

However, Mimi suddenly went crazy and begged, "My body doesn't matter what, but .......

Only the life of Yin Wang Maru, please be sure to let him go, please. Inomaru is not guilty, please let him go. ”

Takeda Harunobu was stunned for a moment, and he didn't even know how to comfort his sister for her worries.

Mrs. Oi saw her son's abnormality and hurriedly comforted Princess Yaya and said, "Harunobu is your brother, there are some things you don't need to worry about. ”

But Princess Yami still insisted: "Lord, please make an agreement with me that you will not take the life of Yin Wang Maru, please." Even if King Yin Maru Yuan is served, I will never let him do something sorry for your lord. ”

"Yami......" Takeda Harunobu couldn't help but look at Princess Yami heavily.

"Please, if there is half a broken word, I will give my life."

"Mimi." Seeing his sister say this, Takeda Harunobu couldn't help but ask heavily, "When you were going to marry Suwa, didn't you tell me that you didn't want to go and wash your face with tears all day long?"

Didn't you cry in front of me too?

One of the reasons for the Suwa strategy is that I want to rescue you and take your life, how could I have thought about such a thing!"

"Mother!" Harumobu Takeda, who had burst into tears, turned abruptly and pleaded with Mrs. Oi, "You may not agree, but I will still bring Yaya and Inomaru back to Suwa." ”

"Hey." Seeing this situation, Mrs. Oi sighed deeply in her heart.

However, despite this, Takeda Harunobu had deep doubts about himself because of his sister's words, and he didn't know if he was right to do so, so he soon after he visited his former teacher, Master Kihide, to find out.

"Master Qixiu, it's been a long time!"

"Really."

"It's been a year!"

"Yes."

After some cold noise, Takeda Harunobu couldn't help but ask, "Me, have you changed?"

"Harunobu-sama." Master Qixiu suddenly asked, "I've been teaching you to read since you were a child, do you remember what you used to say at that time?"

"Of course I do!" Takeda Harunobu nodded heavily. "Then you should know best whether you have changed yourself."

Hearing this, Takeda Qingxin couldn't help but argue: "It's because I don't know that I asked you." ”

"You, despise yourself from the bottom of your heart, not because you don't know it, but because you know it very well. You're trying to get confirmation from me, it's a cowardly act. ”

"I'm not here to hear you say this!" In response to Master Kihide's advice, Harunobu Takeda suddenly became hysterical.

"My sister Yami actually said to me that she was willing to give her life to implore me not to harm her children. I obviously attacked Suwa to save Yami, but why did she think I would take her child's life?

I don't feel like I've become such a person in the past year. ”

Master Qixiu saw him and explained, "The path of the Buddha begins with the realization of what kind of person you have become.

Harunobu-sama, take a good look at yourself, as long as you see that you will be able to solve anything with you. ”

"But the path of the Buddha is not open to me!"

"If you can't see yourself clearly, you can't see others clearly, and if you can't see people clearly, you can't see through the world."

Master Kihide began to earnestly teach Takeda Harunobu: "In the year since you became the lord of the country, all the way to the present, please think about what you are thinking. Then you'll be able to see for yourself. ”

This is the end of the meeting between Harunobu Takeda and Master Kihide, who seems to understand something and doesn't seem to understand anything. However, there is one thing that Takeda Harunobu deeply understands, as the lord of Kai, he can't regret it.

A few days later, Harunobu Takeda specially summoned the important ministers and declared, "I will fight for Kai, and I will die for Kai." That's why I'm in this world, and I don't exist otherwise.

Attacking Takato, first of all, I will support Ritsuin Wang Maru and Yaya to bring him to Suwa together. ”

"But if I take Inmaru with me, I think it will take four days." Ganli Hutai, who was among the retainers, immediately said worriedly.
