On a trail between the Kai Mountains, at this time, Takeda Harunobu happened to meet Yuezi who was out of the temple to collect medicine on the way out of the city.

The two of them were a little stunned but they both pretended not to see each other and went away from each other, but as soon as the two of them were a little far away, Takeda Harunobu couldn't help but turn around and hug Yuezi tightly, he didn't want to bear the pain of lovesickness anymore.

As soon as Takeda Harunobu returned to the city, he hurried to the residence of his father, Takeda Nobuta, but at this time, there was only Mrs. Oi here.

"Why are you here!" When Mrs. Oi saw Takeda Harunobu, she said a little anxiously: "You should know very well that you can't come here without your father's permission, so go out first before he sees you!"

"I know, but I have something to say."

"Then go to the outhouse!" Mrs. Oi really couldn't think of anything important for her eldest son.

"It's Yuezi's business."

"Yuezi!" Mrs. Oi's heart suddenly felt that something was wrong.

"Do you mean the girl who was taken in at the temple?"

"Yes!" Takeda Harunobu said excitedly: "I met her just now." ”

"Didn't you promise me never to see her for the rest of my life?" Mrs. Oi was suddenly a little anxious, and it would not be good if there was anything wrong with the young lady of the Sanjo family when she just got married.

"That's what I'm talking about!" The long separation from Yuezi has made Takeda Harunobu unwilling to endure this lovesickness anymore.

"I violated my agreement with my mother to meet Yuezi, but I will continue to violate it in the future, and I don't want to live a hypocritical life anymore from today." Harunobu Takeda said.

"That agreement is not just an agreement with my mother!"

Seeing that Takeda Harunobu seemed to have intentions, Mrs. Oi hurriedly warned him: "That is also the agreement between your father and you, are you going to break this agreement now?"

"Yes, I can't give up Yuezi." Harunobu Takeda was very resolute.

"I'm not asking you this!" Lady Oi warned her son again, "It is a shame for the samurai to break the contract, how are you going to explain it to your father?"

"I don't explain!"

"What! I will not allow that!" Mrs. Oi was suddenly anxious, if Takeda Harunobu did this, her future would be ruined.

However......

"No, I'll do it too!" Harunobu Takeda responded to Mrs. Oi in this way.

Mrs. Oi immediately broke her heart and sighed and said to him, "What's wrong with you?" I don't know what's going on in your heart. ”

"It's impossible not to know!" Takeda Harunobu suddenly stood up and shouted, "All I said is justice!" I can't live hypocritically anymore. After saying that, Takeda Harunobu ran out angrily.

Mrs. Oi looked at her son's back and sighed deeply, after all, the things that parents and children cherish are different. At the city gate, Takeda Harunobu rode away on a fast horse, and the auxiliary servant Nobukata Sakagaki looked at his figure thoughtfully.

On the other side, Mrs. Sanjo, who had figured it out, finally met Takeda Nobuta for the first time.

"How? Do you still like Kai?" Compared with the eldest son, Harunobu Takeda Shintora seems to prefer Mrs. Sanjo as a daughter-in-law, not only because Mrs. Sanjo is of noble birth, but also because she is the wife candidate she personally gave to her eldest son.

"I like it."

"Hahahaha." Takeda Shintora said happily: "Although our Kai does not have a sea, it has big mountains, and Japan's No. 1 Mt. Fuji is in our Kai. ”

Saying that, Takeda Shintora patted his chest and sighed proudly: "That's really a gorgeous and dazzling mountain!"

"Indeed!" Mrs. Sanjo elegantly agreed with the courtesy of a female official in the palace.

"Hmm~~~Hmm~~~ It's really from Kyoto! Every move is extraordinary. ”

At this time, Takeda Shintora was more satisfied, so he asked with concern: "So is there anything missing?"

"Nope."

"If you want anything, you're welcome, if you need it, go to Harunobu's mother!"

"Yes." Mrs. Sanjo nodded yes.

"Okay~~~, I'll show you a good thing today. Someone's coming!" As he spoke, two people walked in carrying a screen, and Takeda Shintora personally stepped forward to pull Mrs. Sanjo in front of the screen that was spread out by the retainers.

"How? Not bad!" Takeda Shintora said proudly pointing to the screen.

What kind of screen is this? I saw that a very complete map of the 66 countries of Japan was drawn on it, which was really a precious thing at that time.

At this time, everyone in the assessment room gathered in surprise, and Mrs. Sanjo couldn't help but sigh: "Ah~~~, what a dazzling screen!"

"This is a map of all of Japan!"

Takeda Shintora took out his fan and pointed to a certain place in the screen and said, "Here, this is our Kai, it is really in the center of Japan!"

Then Takeda Shintora pointed his fan at Kyoto and moved it to Kai and said, "You came to Kai after such a long journey from Kyoto through Omi, Mino, and Shinano. It's going to be a long trip!"

"Yes." Mrs. Sanjo nodded in acknowledgement.

Then Takeda Nobutora pointed to the map with a paper fan and said, "We, Kai, are now in peace with this Suruga, but we have a dispute with this Sagami, Hojo. This is Musashi, this is Ueno, this is Shinano, these are all the neighboring countries that border Kai. ”

"That's it!" Mrs. Mitsui walked to the front of the map and said, "Kai and Kyoto are not too far away."

"What if?" Seeing that Mrs. Sanjo was interested, Takeda Shintora asked again, "If you were a military general, where would you attack first?"

Lady Sanjo slowly raised his finger at Suruga on the map, and Takeda Shintora was taken aback.

"Suruga? I didn't expect you to be so bold, Suruga where Imagawa is located is a country much stronger than our Kai! The Imagawa family's Shou Guini is from Kyoto like you, but she is a wonderful woman, and even I have a little fear of her. ”

"But won't taking Suruga open the way to Kyoto?" Mrs. Sanjo said with a hint of anticipation.

"Hmm~~~, hahahaha." Takeda Shintora was shocked again, and then laughed and said, "I see! Well, that makes sense, that's really good what you said. ”

The residence of Mrs. Sanjo at this time.

Mrs. Oi also took the opportunity to find Mrs. Sanjo's nurse Yae Hime because of Takeda Harunobu to understand the situation.

"How's the relationship between the two of them?" Mrs. Oi asked with some concern.

There must have been something wrong between Takeda Harunobu and Mrs. Sanjo, and if the marriage, which was the symbol of the Takeda Imagawa Covenant, was destroyed, then Takeda Harunobu would be finished.
