[Another young master of the family? 】

It may be that happiness came too suddenly, and Yushiba Hideji's brain was stuck at this moment, and he didn't react at all.

【Lord, do you mean to ......】

[I mean, now you are not only my nephew, but also my son. 】

[Thank you, Lord...... Oh no, Father. 】

Hashiba Shuji now finally understands that he has obtained the qualification to inherit the Hashiba family!

This is something that I would never have thought of before.

He was about to cry with joy, threw himself on the ground, and kowtowed to Yushiba Hideyoshi in gratitude.

[Father, your great kindness, Sun Qilang is unforgettable, I swear that I will manage the family business of the Yuchai family well and not let you down......]

【Good!】 Good! What a passion! This is worthy of being my Hideyoshi's son......]

Seeing his nephew like this, Yushiba Hideyoshi also felt very relieved, not only was his wish for many years solved, but he also successfully sought a good future for the younger generations in the family.

But it was at this time that a faint disappointment rose in his heart for no reason.

Even he couldn't explain what was going on.

Maybe it's because I haven't had a lot of close relationship with the nephew sitting below for many years, or the godson who just received it. He also had doubts about whether the latter could actually inherit his family.

[Okay, you don't have to thank me anymore, it's boring to listen to too many superfluous words.] 】

Hideyoshi Hashiba waved his hand and interrupted Hideji Hashiba's thanks.

[That's all I have to say, let's have a drink, Sun Qilang, since it's a son, there's no problem drinking with my father. 】

[I have no problem at all, since my father wants to drink, then I, as a son, should naturally accompany me to the end, but ...... Father, you just had a full meal, and if you drink so quickly, will it be ...... to your body]

[No, this has no negative impact on my body, when I was young, if the food at home was enough, I was not satisfied with eating three bowls of one meal, hahahahahaha...... Help! Prepare for the feast! I'm going to have a few drinks with my son! 】

As he spoke, Hideyoshi Hashiba instructed Katagiri Kazumoto in the corridor.

[You don't have to cook any food, if you have any pickles or kimchi or something, just serve it, but the wine must be good, so bring the Nanban wine that the Shogun gave me...... By the way, there is also the goblet that was given to me at that time, and I brought it too...... Today, our father and son are going to get drunk and rest! 】

A drunken party?

Because the mood is so high now, Hashiba Hideyoshi has forgotten that he is anxiously waiting for him in a tea shop in Joshita Town.

After a few glasses of wine, Yushiba Hideji may have been too young and drank too little, and his whole face became red and his eyes began to become blurry.

This kid is so undrinkable, hehe, it's rare to see him anyway, so it's better to take this opportunity to play a good trick on him.

Thinking so in his heart, Yushiba Hideyoshi, as a stepfather, slowly had the idea of mischief.

[Actually, Sun Qilang, you suffered a big loss just now! ] 】

He pretended to exaggerate.

[Nani? What did my father say? 】

[Hehe, I mean to say, in addition to being my son, I also plan to divide the 100,000 stones in my territory to you!] 】

【……】

[But I finally decided to change this idea, because Sun Qilang, your performance just now was too bad, and I was very dissatisfied! 】

Yushiba Shuji was so frightened that he hurriedly dropped the chopsticks.

[Father, please forgive me for my mistake just now, I'm still young and don't understand anything, so I'll let you ......]

[Hmph! You unfilial fellow! I heard that Lord Miyoshi treats you well, but you didn't mention him a word just now, it can be seen that you are a child without filial piety, such a person, even if he becomes my son, he can't get a stone of my territory, let alone let me hand over the Yuchai family to him! 】

[Ahh ……】

Yushiba Shuji, who was half cold, was frightened and regretted.

In fact, he was not completely devoid of feelings for Miyoshi Yasunaga, but he was a little nervous when he saw Hashiba Hideyoshi just now, and then he was so happy because he became [Young Master Hashiba] that he forgot what he was originally prepared for.

[Hahahahaha......]

Yushiba Hideyoshi laughed a few times, I don't know why, he felt quite happy when he saw Yushiba Hideji's appearance.

[Okay, okay, after all, you are still young, and there are many truths that you need to understand slowly, so I won't blame you this time...... Come, let's continue to drink, take a sip! 】

Seeing Hashiba Hideyoshi laughing and drinking it all, Hashiba Hideji couldn't tell what it was like in his heart.

He finally understood now that Hideyoshi Hashiba was simply playing tricks on him just now, but why did he do this?

Unable to figure out this problem, he had to follow the example of Hashiba Hideyoshi [take a sip] and drink the Nanban wine in the cup in one gulp.

[cough cough cough ......]

Nanban wine is completely different from the light taste of Japanese sake, with a high alcohol content, a very strong flavor, and a great aftertaste.

Hideji Hashiba, who usually doesn't even drink much sake, was exposed to this [spirit] for the first time, and his throat was greatly stimulated, and he suddenly coughed violently.

It's Yushiba Hideyoshi, because he has been drinking this wine with Oda Nobunaga all the year round, he already has [immunity], and after a glass, there is nothing to do.

He wanted to laugh at his nephew, but when he saw that the latter was coughing badly, he felt a little unbearable.

After all, he is a child, and he can't drink too much, and I should not let him drink this kind of wine, and his mother will definitely blame me again.

So, he walked over and gently patted Yushiba Shuji on the back with his hand, making the latter feel a little better.

[I'm very sorry!] For a person like me Sun Qilang who is useless and lacks filial piety, Father, you are so courteous, I will definitely do my best to serve you, I will make meritorious contributions for you first, and I hope to change your opinion of me. 】

Hearing this, Hideyoshi Hashiba felt very relieved.

[Well, if you have ambition, this is worthy of being my son, come, let's continue to drink......]

After a few more drinks, Yushiba Shuji's eyes returned to confusion again.

[Sun Qilang, what do you think of your brother...... I'm not talking about Xiusheng, but your two younger brothers, how about the two of them? Can you be my son like you in the future? 】

Because he was almost drunk, Yuchai Hideji said in a daze:

[Ah Chen (the historical Toyotomi Hideho, nicknamed Tatsu Chiyo) is only five years old, and he is still a child who doesn't need anything, so I won't talk about it, Aji (Toyotomi Hidekatsu, nicknamed Aji)...... Alas, it's just a bastard boy who loves to mess around all day long, and he doesn't study well, and he doesn't want to practice the art of war, this person will definitely have no interest in the future, father, you must not accept him as a son, that will not be good for the Yuchai family at all......]

[How?] Lady Shuji, you don't seem to like your two younger brothers, do you? Especially Aggie, who is only a year younger than you. 】

Please note that when he said this, Hashiba Hideyoshi did not warmly call Hashiba Shuji [Sun Qilang] as he did just now, but directly called him by his name and added the word "adult".

Is this respecting Yushiba Shuji and appreciating his words?

By no means!

He's starting to get a little upset now.

Aji and Sun Shichiro are about the same age, and to Hideyoshi Hashiba, the two are not very familiar.

So in his heart, Sun Qilang and Aji are actually standing in the same position, that is, they are exactly the same, and there is no distinction between high and low.

But Sun Qilang actually belittled Aji so much, which made him feel unhappy for a while.

This kid is really ignorant! It's so arrogant!

And the last sentence made him a little bored with Yushiba Xiuji————

What does this kid say [no good for the Yuchai family], I don't think it's good for you, the [young master]!

You actually want to monopolize the position of [Young Master]!

In fact, Hideyoshi Hashiba didn't know what Hishiba Hideji really thought, but he didn't know why, and he just wanted to think about the other party on the negative side.

This is probably his instinct to immerse himself in officialdom for many years.

But in reality, the other party is just a teenager.

[It's not that I don't like it, but sometimes, as their brother, I have to take good care of them. 】

When he said this, Yushiba Xiuji was drunk and looked like he was about to fall asleep.

Yushiba Hideyoshi snorted noncommittally and asked again:

"Is that what you do to your brother? Then if one day, I retire and you inherit the Yuchai family, what will you do to me? 】

[At that time, I will ...... I'll build you a big castle and live in it...... By the way, and Madame, oh no, Mother, Grandmother, they all have to live in it......]

Yushiba Shuji was already completely drunk at this time, and under the stimulation of alcohol, he was dazed and said something inconsequential.

[I will give you the most delicious meal and the most gorgeous clothes for every meal......]

Hashiba Shuji's words sounded very ridiculous, and even a little speechless————

This is obviously what a poor country boy who has never seen the world would say.

However, this is also in line with Yushiba Hideji's character and wishes, because he is the son of a country farmer, and he is still a teenage ghost, what big world can he see?

If it were someone else, who would be serious with a child if they heard him but wouldn't say anything? At most, it's a little laugh and it's over.

But at this time, Hideyoshi Hashiba was different.

Castle? Meals? Clothes?

These three words spun rapidly in his mind, and finally [merged] into a new word————

House arrest!

Hashiba Hideji had no malice at all, but Hashiba Hideyoshi seriously thought about it and felt disgusted with him.

You guy! I took you as my son, and I wanted to pass on the family business to you, but you wanted to put me under house arrest!

Damn it! I'm going to kill you ruthless bastard!

In just an instant, the anger in Hideyoshi's heart was already burning!

[Is this what you really think?] Sun Qilang? 】

[Well, yes.] 】

Yushiba Shuji didn't feel it at all, and the tone of [Father-sama] had become cold and terrifying.

[I never dreamed that I would have the opportunity to inherit the Yuchai family, this is all a gift from my father.] 】

[Gift? Hehe, Sun Qilang, come over here. 】

As he spoke, Hideyoshi Hashiba hooked his fingers, and the person on the other side came over obediently.

When the other party was only more than a foot away from him, the folding fan in his hand suddenly hit him hard!

[Smack! 】

The folding fan hit Hashiba Hideji the forehead, and a red mark suddenly appeared there.

Before the beaten person could react, the folding fan hit again.

While fighting, Yushiba Hideyoshi also scolded and said:

[You little brute! You must be happy to take the Yuchai family from me, right?! I'll beat you to death! 】

[Ah......h

At this time, Hashiba Hideji's wine was completely sober.

【Father, why did you ......】

Before he could finish speaking, the folding fan in Hideyoshi's hand beckoned him again.

[Shut up!] Bastard boy! Who's your father?! I'm really blind, I would think of letting a good-for-nothing and unfilial person like you inherit the Yuchai family......]

Hashiba Shuji, who still can't figure out what happened, screams in pain and dodges.

He couldn't figure out how [Father], who was still amiable to him a moment ago, suddenly turned his face and scolded himself so angrily?

Of course, he couldn't fight back, so he could only dodge vigorously, and kept begging for mercy.

However, his plea for mercy provoked even greater resentment in Hideyoshi's heart.

Damn the guys! With this kind of soft bones, what else can you expect to do in the future?!

With a distorted and hideous face, he had become insane.

The person who knelt at his feet and begged for mercy was no longer any of his relatives in his eyes, but a mortal enemy with whom he had an indissoluble enmity for ten lifetimes!

However, although he hit very hard, after all, he is older, and his strength is not as strong as when he was young, and the folding fan in his hand is also a few years old, not as hard as the new fan, so it doesn't hurt much to hit it.

【Poof————】

It may be that the range of physical activity is too much, or it may be that the tatami mats are too slippery.

Hashiba Hideyoshi was not careful, and actually slipped and fell to the ground.

【Ouch————】

is already an elderly person, this time, the fall is not light, and Yushiba Hideyoshi is in deep pain.

Yushiba Shuji was startled and hurriedly helped him up.

"Father, don't you matter? 】

[Nonsense! You come and fall for a while, see if it matters! 】

The people in the hallway, led by Katagiri and Moto, all rushed in.

From the time they beat people just now, they felt that something was happening in the inner hall, but when they saw that it was Yushiba Hideyoshi beating people, no one dared to stop them.

But the situation is not good now, because Hideyoshi Hashiba has obviously [suffered] more serious injuries.

Everyone hurriedly shushed Yushiba Hideyoshi and asked him to see if he was okay.

And what about Hideyoshi Hashiba?

He was sore all over, and now he is not crying or laughing, because there are too many people in front of him.

Some people advocate giving Yuchai-sama a massage to activate qi and blood, while some people think that this will not work and that they must see a doctor.

The scene was chaotic.

This kind of chaotic scene did not end until the arrival of Mrs. Ning Ning.

[What the hell is going on?! 】

Everyone, you look at me, I'll look at you, and in the end, it was decided that the person concerned, Yushiba Hideji, would explain the matter this time.

Yushiba Shuji told her aunt what happened.

When they heard that Yushiba Hideji had been established as the [Young Master], everyone was surprised, because at this time, Yushiba Hidekatsu, who was the young master, was still alive.

And Ning Ning glanced at Yushiba Hideyoshi very unhappily————

The two of them have always been indistinguishable from each other, and Yushiba Hideyoshi will tell her anything about it, but this time [Lichu], as the mistress of the Yushiba family, she doesn't know at all!

And what about Hideyoshi Hashiba?

At this time, he also woke up from the anger just now, and felt that his previous self-assertion and drunken beating really shouldn't be.

Seeing Yushiba Xiuji's aggrieved appearance and his wife's sharp eyes, he felt that he was at a loss for a while, so he simply turned his head away.

When Yushiba Hideji talked about his inexplicable beating, everyone sympathized with him————

Under the influence of Oda Nobunaga, Hashiba Hideyoshi was also a little moody, and the attendants at home were unlucky for this reason.

And Ning Ning frowned and listened to the words.

At the end of the day, she opened her mouth and said to Yushiba Shuji:

[Sun Qilang, you are really, as the young master of the family, you should have a heart of benevolence for your brothers, Aji and Achen are both your siblings, how can you belittle them like this? The old man watched you three brothers grow up, and he has the same love for you, and of course he will be angry when he hears your words, you know? 】

[Got it......]

Yushiba Shuji replied with his head drooping and hanging his head.

[Of course, there is something wrong with you, sir.] 】

Hideyoshi Hashiba turned his head back, but he still didn't dare to look directly at his wife————

There's no way, when it comes to reasoning, she's even more powerful than the shogun of Azuchi Castle.

[When a child makes a mistake, parents should teach it step by step, how can they be so casual with punches and kicks? It's useless to do that......]

Ning Ning is a woman who is quite good at talking, and her words not only appeased Yushiba Hideji, who was feeling wronged, but also gave Yushiba Hideyoshi a step down, anyway, in this era, what is the problem of [educational error] What is the terrible [crime].

After Ning Ning finished the [ideological work] for the [father and son], he said to everyone:

[Okay, help, clean up the wine glass, you all go down, and Sun Qilang, you go back too, I still have something to say to the master. 】

[Got it.] 】

[Mother, father, I will step back first. 】

When only the husband and wife were left in the inner hall, Ning Ning said:

[Alas, my lord, I know what the real distress in your heart is, but this has nothing to do with Sun Qilang, he is still just a child, what can he understand? Why should you ......]

Hashiba Hideyoshi took a breath of talk and interrupted Madame's words:

[Ning Ning, I know what I did just now was wrong, Sun Qilang is innocent, but...... As long as I think that the family business I worked hard for would be handed over to an outsider in the end, I feel so unwilling...... You don't have to look at me like that, I know it's a bit inappropriate to call my nephew an outsider, but Sun Qilang is ...... after all Alas......]

He sighed again, and there was infinite regret in his tone.

Ning Ning put her hand on his, she has been married for many years, and she knows what her husband is thinking now.

[When I was young, I lived a hungry life, looking at the young masters of those samurai families, and envious of them from the bottom of my heart, so I made a wish to the gods and Buddhas, as long as I can live such a life, I can pay any price...... Now, I have a territory of 1.1 million stones, and I have a very resounding reputation, the gods and Buddhas have fulfilled my wish, but it has also made me pay the price, now think about it, why did I make such a wish to create evil?! 】

Speaking of this, the eyes of Hashiba Hideyoshi, who has always been strong, moistened, and Ning Ning hurriedly took out his hand and wiped it for him.

[This...... This may be God's punishment for me, I am a farmer, but I want to become a human being, this is too bold, too arrogant, yes, it must be so, the gods and Buddhas gave me territory and prestige, let me enjoy the glory and wealth of the world, but took away the child who should have been born into my family...... Woo, there is no territory but no heir, isn't this the same as a lifelong struggle, but it is like an empty dream? 】

These words came from the bottom of her heart, and Ning Ning was so sour when she heard it that she almost burst into tears.

[Over the years, I've also thought about it, is it really better to live in a castle, eat luxurious seafood dishes, and wear beautiful clothes than in a broken thatched house in the countryside of Owari, eating pickled radish and porridge, and wearing coarse linen clothes......]

【Adult! Don't say anything like that! Everyone is counting on you to lead them to the world...... Moreover, didn't you tell me back then that men would never do things that they regretted? Have you forgotten? 】

[Yes, what I said back then, do you remember ......]

As he spoke, Hashiba Hideyoshi stroked Ning Ning's lower abdomen with his hand, and said in a pleading tone:

[Ning Ning, give birth to a child for me, please, just one, I really want to have a child...... Please......]

The current Yushiba Hideyoshi, where does he still have the appearance of that majestic general? Completely turned into an innocent, with a desire for the child.

Ning Ning turned her head away, tears streaming down her face.

As a woman. Why didn't she want to be a mother? It's just that I'm at this age, how can I expect to conceive a fetus again?

Is all this really the will of God and Buddha?

At this time, I heard Kato's voice.

It seems that because he had run for some distance, he was out of breath and out of breath:

[Lord, are you ready?] Master Xiu said, if you don't come again, he will go back to Azuchi City alone............]

As a practical matter, I'm not a person who likes to cause trouble.

Although my status in this world is relatively high, those common people and silk have to salute respectfully when they see me, and call out [Lord of the Kingdom], and occasionally some people who are not open-eyed, who don't know who I am, will also judge from the clothes I wear that I am not an ordinary person.

In short, there are really no people who come to provoke me, except for Oda Nobunaga, who wants to find me something to do when he has something to do.

However, even though I am a relatively low-key person most of the time, that still hasn't stopped the [trouble] thing from coming to my door.

For example, there is one thing that gives me a headache right now.

In fact, this matter is not complicated at all, if it is put into the Internet literature of later generations, it will also belong to the plot of the bad street.

Two beautiful girls, a group of ruffians, and the protagonist on the side.

It's these three characters, do you feel a little speechless————

This kind of bloody plot is nothing more than the hooligans who start with the hooligans flirting with beautiful girls without opening their eyes, and finally end with the hooligans being shown the protagonist of the king's spirit, or Long Aotian, and giving him a hard repair...... Of course, whether the beautiful girl finally embraces Long Aotian depends on the mood of the third-rate writer who wrote these plots.

Although I also belong to the protagonist of a third-rate novel, such a thing, except for the first few chapters, in order to save my second wife from the bad guys (Khan-_-||And in addition to doing it once, in these more than 300 chapters, it hasn't happened once!

For this reason, I began to doubt my identity————

Am I not in a web novel at all?

But luckily, this afternoon, I had a chance to ...... at noon

Here's how things went.

After leaving Yoshida Shrine, I took Serizawa Duck, Toshizo Hijikata, and Yoshida Toshimitsu, a young retainer who had just been earned, and rode towards Azuchi Castle.

Since last year, Oda Nobunaga's trust in me has never been greater, and as long as I am by his side, he will be able to assign me all kinds of shogunate affairs, whether big or small, involving domestic affairs, foreign affairs, armaments, and so on.

I heard that when Niwa Nagahide was still alive, because he had been in Azuchi Castle for a long time, Oda Nobunaga did the same to him.

However, given that the shogunate had not yet been established at that time, there were far fewer things to deal with than there are today, and Oda Nobunaga had not yet become as lazy as he is now, Niwa Nagahide's life was much better than mine.

Be content! 】

Ah Xiang silently piled a thick stack of documents on the desk in front of me for office.

She's the only person in the world other than Oda Nobunaga who dares to talk to me in this tone, oh, by the way, and my mother-in-law, she's also a strong woman who dares to teach me a lesson as her own son.

Ah Xiang was very upset when she heard my constant complaints.

[What does it mean to be able to handle so many things for the general? It shows that the general trusts you very much, and ordinary people can't do so many things! 】

[In this case, I should regard staying up late for two days in a row and not being able to close my eyes for more than 20 hours as a supreme honor? 】

[Of course, so much work, the general has handed over to you, what a lot of trust this is, Lord First Retainer. 】

[Don't say anything [the first retainer], this name sounds like it will make me lose my life. 】

[Hmph! I estimate that there is no one in the world except you who is not interested in the name of this longevity, you are always so unconscious! 】

[Not realised? Could it be that I'm doing well now? 】

[Isn't it?] You have so many territories, as well as a high reputation and status, the world doesn't know how envious you are, by the way, what is standing in front of you is your beautiful wife, do you understand? 】

【……】

[Hey! What kind of eyes are you?! 】

[Although I know that you have always liked to sell yourself and boast, madam, you don't have to be so ...... But I'm sure that you are definitely the blood of the general, and this is how he often brags about himself in front of us retainers, by the way, I heard that the third prince was an oil merchant back then, and he should also know it...... Yes! 】

Ah Xiang smashed a book on my head and said angrily:

[You conscienceless guy, I'm really angry, I wanted to stay up all night with you, hum! ] Now you can do it slowly by yourself! 】

With that, she pushed open the wooden door and walked out.

I smiled wryly and shook my head.

Is she a tsundere?

I'm sorry, I'm habitually pulling away.

In a word, I am a busy person nowadays, and I am as tired as my grandson every day, which is my normal.

To be so careless and enjoy life leisurely is simply to be willing to degenerate, not to make progress, to lose heart, and to live up to the ardent expectations of the country and the people.

Before, I traveled on horseback with Duck and Hijikata, but when I came back, there was an extra Yoshida Toshimitsu by my side.

There was no way, so I had to let him ride with Hijikata Suizo.

Because he had never ridden a horse before, this time he straddled behind Hijikata Suizo, which could choke him enough.

But his perseverance is amazing————

was obviously very uncomfortable, but he didn't even complain, his mouth was closed, and he didn't let himself spit out.

The two big men called Hijikata Shishiro and Serizawa Duck couldn't help but admire his tenacity.

This kid will definitely not be an ordinary commodity in the future! It's a man!

I was also distressed when I looked at it, so I stopped a few more times on the way and asked him to find a place to vomit.

But even so, I didn't lose much time.

Before dark, we finally arrived in Taga Town, a suburb of Azuchi Castle.

It's not much distance to go home, but at this time, the water on our bodies has already been drunk, and it's unbearable.

Lacking patience, I decided to find a tea shop for a cup of tea.

At that time, there were still a few people in the tea shop who were also drinking tea and eating snacks.

Among them, I also saw two special figures.

It's a girl, and she has a smaller girl next to her, who is her sister.

I decided to go over and say hi because I happened to know both of them.

Asai Chacha and Asai Koto.

They are Ah Xiang's cousins, and theoretically speaking, they are also my sisters-in-law.

The two sisters saw it too, but their reactions were different.

Cha Cha, who had seen me more often, turned her head to the side, pretending that she didn't know me at all.

Kodo was born in the year when her father, Asai Nagamasa, committed suicide in defeat, and like Yoshida Toshimitsu, she was a person from the first year of Tensho, she hadn't seen me much before, and she had a very weak impression of me, and her eyes widened when she saw a [strange] man walking over.

The fate of the world is really wonderful, when I was in the city before, it was not easy to see them, but I didn't expect to be in this small tea shop————

【Boss! Eight bowls of herbal tea, and then some rice balls, several of us are dying of hunger......]

Just as I was about to say a [cordial greeting] to the two future beauties, a few ronins suddenly walked in at the door of the tea shop.

Each of them is tall, or has a beard, or has a long scar on his face, and they still hold a sword in their arms, and they all seem to be practitioners, so it can be judged that they all have a certain physical skills, but I don't know if they really have the same strength as their appearance.

However, it is worth noting that the accent of their speech is neither Omi nor any of the local dialects of Kyoto or, but very similar to the local dialect I often heard during the war in Kansai.

In that case, these ronins must all be from Kansai.

I thought about it and thought there shouldn't be anything wrong with that guess.

Before the war, a large number of ronin defected to the Mori family to become [mercenary samurai], and the Mori family lost the battle, and the territory was reduced, so that the income was reduced. In order to reduce the financial pressure caused by this, Mori Terumoto was bound to lay off a large number of samurai who had been hired during the war, and many of them were transformed from samurai back into dispossessed ronin.

The ronins will not be willing to lose their chance to become samurai again, and they are running around the country trying to find a new owner.

And the group of people in front of them, nine times out of ten, are going to or Kanto to look for opportunities for [reemployment].

The eight of them found four desks and sat opposite each other in groups of two.

They kept flicking their fingers on the desk, signaling the people in the tea shop to move faster, and making a very impolite noise, not caring whether others were drinking tea and chatting.

The originally clean environment in the tea shop was suddenly destroyed by these guys.

Hooligans are always the most unself-conscious.

They looked around the tea shop, and their eyes suddenly fixed on the Asai sisters, and their eyes lit up.

Seventeen-year-old Cha Cha is undoubtedly a young and beautiful person, and in this ordinary teahouse, it is particularly eye-catching.

The man with the scar in the lead, who didn't look like a good stubble at all, stared at Cha Cha for a long time and swallowed a mouthful of spit.

The ronin in the back, with a rat beard and a big pie face, and a very obscene appearance, immediately guessed what their boss was thinking.

He is good at slapping horses and likes to pat horses, so he hurriedly twisted those mustaches and said with an obscene face:

[Team leader, do you see it, the woman sitting there is good. It's definitely the type you like, team leader, do you want to go over and say hello?! 】

[Aren't you TM?! I already had an idea! 】

[Mouse Beard] said that it played a role in fueling the emotions of [Team Leader], and [Team Leader] took off the tattered feather weaving on his body, and said with a cheap smile like a flower thief:

[Not only is it so simple to say hello, Lao Tzu is going to do her at night! ] It's delicious! I didn't expect that there was such a beautiful girl here in Kyoto......]

This is said to be extremely obscene, even the little governor who has nothing to do is also blushing, and Cha Cha is [green tendons exposed], looking like he wants to fight with others.

[Team Leader] touched his chin, his body swayed, and walked in the direction of the Cha Cha sisters.

Not to mention, this virtue is completely the same as those in third-rate online novels, who ran out to be beaten in order to show the protagonist's royal spirit.

The other guests in the teahouse, when they saw these people, felt that the visitors were not good, and they didn't dare to contact them, so they gave up their places, paid and left in a hurry.

What are you kidding, they are not ordinary hooligans, but they have knives in their hands, and they may not be able to see who is not pleasing to the eye, and give him a knife!

This probably fulfills the famous saying———— hooligans know martial arts, and no one can stop them.

[Team Leader] came to Cha Cha and stretched out his big hand and said with a smile:

[This lovely young lady, hello, first time we met, my name is Ishikawa Goemon, a ronin who went to Kanto from Misaku to worship officials and chase his dreams, I wonder if Miss is interested in telling me your name? 】

I was stunned when I heard it.

It turns out that this guy who is not good-looking is the great thief Ishikawa Goemon in history.,It's really unexpected.,He's obviously not a serious person.,It's funny that he is still pursuing a kind of literary effect when he speaks.。

In the face of this big hooligan's almost sexual harassment-like greeting, Miss Cha Cha, as the person concerned, turned out to be like a nobody, her face did not change, she just looked up at the boy, and continued to drink her own tea in disregard.

The little governor looked at him nervously, worried that their group of bad guys would do something out of the ordinary.

I shifted my body between the sisters, then picked up a piece of muffin cake on the desk and ate it.

Seeing that Chacha didn't intend to pay attention to him at all, Ishikawa Goemon, who was originally pretending to be a gentleman, felt very faceless and wanted to say something more, only to find that there was a man sitting next to him who didn't know whether he was alive or dead!

And the latter also completely ignores his existence and eats on his own.

[Hey, stinky boy, who are you, if you don't want to die, get out of the way!] This position is our team leader, are you blind? 】

The flattering [Mousebeard] just now pointed at me and yelled.

Since my father handed over the position of patriarch to me, people outside have seen me, who hasn't spoken politely? Except, of course, for Oda Nobunaga, the guy who takes pleasure in playing tricks on people.

It's been a long time since I've been scolded like today, and I seem to be [addicted] for a while, and I actually enjoy the feeling of being scolded.

But reason tells me that this is not possible, as the right guard major general of the imperial court and the ruling power of the shogunate, he will be humiliated like this.

So, I sat up lazily and squinted at the yelling man.

What is a "villain"? The guy in front of him can be regarded as a villain, although he is very good at sycophancy, but from his figure, I can infer that he is not a person who often practices martial arts.

Like this kind of ronin group, if you don't have good strength, it is difficult to gain a foothold in it, and this [rat beard] can still mix in it, it seems that it is just relying on a talking mouth.

[Okay, okay, this gentleman, after scolding for so long, can you close your stinky mouth that doesn't know what dirty things you have eaten? The guests in the tea shop were almost smoked away by your mouth, and even I almost fainted. 】

As I spoke, I stumbled as if I was about to finish the road.

As a child, the little governor laughed when he saw me like this, which was very cute.

[Mousebeard] was buried by me like this, his face suddenly looked bad, he didn't like me in the first place, and now he wants to kill me with a knife.

[Boy, are you looking for death...... Yes!!! 】

While he was talking, I, who looked like a child, suddenly stretched out my big foot and kicked out of this guy's lower abdomen.

The boy roared with pain, his body was in a weird arc, and he was directly kicked to another desk, shouting that it hurt for a long time, until he sat up straight, only to find that there was no fall on his body!

The scene in front of him was even more funny, and even Cha Cha was laughing.

Ishikawa Goemon was already very unhappy because of Chacha, but now when he saw his subordinates being beaten by me like this, he felt even more unbearable on his face.

[Stinky guy! See if I don't kill you! 】

He threw a punch at him.

It was a powerful punch, but it wasn't a big deal to me.

As soon as I reached out, I grabbed his wrist and he tried to pull the arm back but was unsuccessful.

[Huh? What is the origin of this guy? It's even stronger than me, is it the bodyguard of these two girls...... Well, it doesn't look like it at all. 】

He suddenly realized that the martial arts of this guy in front of him seemed to be stronger than him, and he immediately put away his original frivolous heart, and his expression became serious.

is really worthy of being a famous thief and chivalrous man in history, his bearing is different from the city, the general small role, in the public, was held by me like this, and he was already so angry that the three corpses jumped into the gods.

Just when he wondered in his heart whether I was a certain martial arts master in Kyoto, I opened my mouth in a flat tone:

【Ishikawa Goemon?】 I remember your name, but this is, not your Kansai, so you can't do it like this. 】

[Hmph! Who are you?! I'm going to work in Ishikawa Goemon, do I still need you to take care of it? 】

[What? You think I'm in charge of you? 】

I asked, pretending to be surprised, how fake the expression was.

[Hmph! Don't pretend, you're the only one here, and there are eight of us, even if you beat me, my people won't let you go! 】

He said so intimidatingly, but it didn't work for me.

And he actually had no eyesight to treat me, the famous man in the sea, Akechi Kogoro, as a quick catcher?

If I let Oda Nobunaga, who likes to watch the excitement, know, I won't laugh to death.

[Plot] found out that it is almost similar to the average third-rate web novel, and the next plot is nothing more than that:

I exploded into a royal rage and knocked down Ishikawa Goemon and his minions.

And then Miss Cha Cha (considering that Xiao Du is still a child, I don't have any loli control tendencies, so I won't count) has stars in her eyes, has disease, and has fallen in love with me ever since, saying that she wants not only me to be his cousin (cousin-in-law), but also to be a couple and so on.

If it develops like this, it will be a completely [normal] routine.

But what...... I just don't come like that!

It was at this moment that I heard a voice not far away————

[My lord, it's these stinky hooligans from Kansai who not only bullied these two young ladies, but also beat up my family......]

The person who spoke was Serizawa Duck, who had recently been reinstated and re-elected as a staff officer of the Shinsengumi.

He was leading a team, about a dozen people, and came over.

The catchers were all carrying knives, and Serizawa didn't know what to tell them, and they all had solemn expressions.

Ishikawa Goemon and a few of them were frightened, during the Taiping period, the social order was stable, and the catchers who patrolled the streets rarely used knives, and most of them carried short and powerful, powerful ten hands as weapons.

And now, using knives instead of ten hands, doesn't it just mean that the catchers want to [do a big job]?

As a ronin, Ishikawa Goemon was immediately cowardly.

is not as good as Kansai, and the quality of catching fast is very high, and as a ronin, they have a bad record, how dare they stand up in front of the fast catch.

[This gentleman...... Oh no, sir, and this young lady, today's incident is just a misunderstanding. I'm just a rough man from the countryside, I don't know anything, if there is anything offended, please forgive me...... Please help explain to the catchers that we didn't do anything bad, everything was a misunderstanding...... Please......]

Thieves are afraid of the police.

[It's easy to say...... Yes!!! 】

Taking advantage of his nervousness and focus on catching fast, I suddenly used a force, and his fist was pulled by me.

Ishikawa Goemon didn't expect me to come with such a hand, one didn't pay attention, and his body lost his balance.

His fist hit me in the face with a gorgeous blow.

Not to mention, although this punch did not produce any force because the owner of the fist did not exert any force, when it hit me in the face, it really hurt a little.

I immediately lay down on the ground and shouted in an exaggerated voice:

[Ah!! It hurts me! 】

Ishikawa Goemon staggered to balance his body, and was dumbfounded when he saw my virtue.

He didn't do anything, how could this guy take his hand and hit himself?

Is he sick in the head?

Toshimitsu Yoshida and Tosyozo Hijikata, who were sitting in the tea shop, were dumbfounded, and the Asai sisters also looked like they had their mouths wide open.

I would do something like this that can't be put on the table!

Ishikawa Goemon was about to say something to me, when a catcher came up to him and said:

[Why are you hitting someone?] 】

Mr. Ishikawa said aggrievedly:

"I didn't hit anyone. 】

[Don't quibble, everyone saw it just now, you hit this person in the face with your hand, this is a disturbance to the people, and you all have swords in your hands, I'm afraid the way is not simple, come with us to the inquisition. 】

The inquisition is the place where criminal cases are administered, similar to the police station in later generations.

[It's his own ......]

Mr. Ishikawa couldn't go on————

Go and tell the catchers that this guy used my hand to hit himself, and it has nothing to do with me.

The catchers will only give him a big roll of the eyes.

That's what the hell believes!

[You guy, you dare to yin me, I will never let you go when I turn around......]

Ishikawa Goemon glared at me with murderous eyes.

And Cha Cha finally spoke:

[Okay, don't lie down, the officials want to handle the case, you must at least stand up and cooperate with the questioning! ] 】

(The protagonist seems to be very good at touching porcelain, haha)
