[Yamazaki-sama.] Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ】

[Well, Miss Ayano, I'm here to visit Mieda-sama.] 】

[Mitsure-sama has just had lunch and is taking a nap?。。。。。。 Have you eaten, there are still some miso soup and leftovers in the kitchen. 】

Ayano's expression was relaxed and natural, and he couldn't tell that he was being watched and imprisoned at all, and Yamazaki Makuichi felt a little puzzled.

[Thank you, I've already eaten.] 】

[Yo, Brother Yamazaki is here! ] 】

Takenomiya Hataro walked out with a smile on his face, still holding a bamboo knife in his hand.

[You're just in time, I'm a manager now, and I have nowhere to vent, so you can come and practice a few with me。。。。。。 Let me see if you haven't grown in this time. 】

Like Ayano, Takenomiya Hataro's face did not show any negative emotions, obviously a day ago, his eldest apprentice injured a shogunate official and the official's retainers, and the entire dojo was in a state of depression by the fee, but there was no unhappiness in the slightest, Yamazaki Makuichi found that not only him, but the entire dojo was not affected by this matter, and it was all in a state of [what should I do].

Yamazaki Makuichi came to visit Ayano, he had no intention of competing with others, even so, he still put on a martial arts uniform between half a push and half a half, and fought two fights with Takenomiya Hataro.

When it comes to kendo, Yamazaki Makuichi is far from Takenomiya Hataro, but interestingly, the latter doesn't seem to have a real idea, but is constantly motivating Yamazaki Makuichi, and whenever the former makes an attack or a decent defense, Takenomiya Hakutai will shout "yes" or make other encouragement. This made Yamazaki Makuichi feel more and more uncomfortable. He is nominally a guard of Wise Kogoro, but in fact, his little martial arts is really not enough. Takenomiya Hataro knows, he doesn't need to praise himself like this.

I guess there's something going on here.

After a few scenes, more than half an hour has passed, and Yamazaki is sweating profusely and feeling a little tired. Takenomiya Hataro smiled and told Ayano to prepare some snacks and tea to entertain the guests. Two people sat down in the hallway.

[I'm ashamed, Lord Takenomiya, my ability is really incomparable to yours, it's too weak. 】

[Hehe, young people, don't be presumptuous, you are still young, and you will make great achievements in the future. 】

[Thanks to the love of my lord, if I didn't have a public office, I really wanted to enter this dojo and study hard with my lords. 】

【。。。。。。 】

[What's the matter, my lord?] 】

[Brother Yamazaki, didn't you come here just to learn kendo? 】

[No, I'm here to visit Aya。。。。。。 Visiting Mieda-sama. 】

[So what's going on with this?] Before lunch today, your lord sent it over, saying that I will give you good guidance in the future. 】

Takenomiya Hataro took out an envelope from his clothes and handed it to Yamazaki Makuichi, who took it for some reason.

[Mentor me? Not...... 】

Yamazaki was stunned for a moment, and the letter read:

[Bamboo Palace Jun Junjian, the ancients said: The teacher is great, and the entry to teach a skill is a policy of food and clothing to support the family, passed down from generation to generation, and the etiquette is grand. Now Your Excellency is famous in the East Mountain, highly respected, deeply admired by our generation, there is an attendant Yamazaki below, the size is insufficient, embarrassed to be useful, may you receive it on the door wall, pointing to the way of the sword. At the expiration of the three-year period, two years of validity remain. During the five-year period, Yamazaki Renjun arranged for disposal, and food and clothing were provided by you. Since then, although there are masters and apprentices, they are the same as father and son, and they should be respectful to their masters. The training is unforgettable. Love out of the heart, no regrets. There is no basis for empty words, and I would like to use this word to show solemnity. 】

The following is the water-colored bellflower stamp of Wise Kogoro, which can be regarded as the signature of the [Incarcer Substitute].

【。。。。。。 】

Yamazaki Makuichi was stunned for seven or eight minutes, and finally reacted, he sat down on the ground, his thoughts were in a mess, he was still a samurai of the wise family in the morning, and at this time, Wise Kogoro had already opened him, and he had done it without his knowledge, which suddenly made him feel a sense of despair and sadness that he had been abandoned.

[How?] Brother Yamazaki, you don't know about this yourself? 】

Takenomiya Hataro was very surprised, but soon, he changed his expression and said with a smile:

[Brother Yamazaki, since your master is so well-intentioned, it is inconvenient for me not to respond to this intention。。。。。。 From now on, you are a member of the Akiba Dojo, and if anyone outside dares to bully you, you can report the name of Bamboo Palace。。。。。。 Of course, as a disciple, you have to be a lot more。。。。。。 】

Makuichi Yamazaki suddenly reacted, and he jumped up.

[Lord Bamboo Palace, this matter is not trivial, I want to talk to the lord first, five years, I can't afford to wait。。。。。。 】

Yamazaki Makuichi's heart is now like a child playing outside, and suddenly he heard that the family had received news, and while rushing back to see the truth, he was worried that the news was true.

[No need to go back, I'm here!] 】

Wise Kogoro was slightly cold to Yamazaki Makuichi's ears, Yamazaki Makuichi suddenly felt half cold, I don't know when, Wise Kogoro has appeared in the dojo, he is also holding a bamboo sword in his hand, on one side is Ayano who is practicing swords with him, both of them look at him with calm eyes.

【Lord。。。。。。 Sir, I'm 。。。。。。 】

Wise Kogoro walked over and patted Makuichi Yamazaki on the shoulder.

[I didn't discuss it with you in advance, it's my fault, but I also hope that you, a kid, can learn some skills, if you stay by my side all the time, you won't grow much, and you won't be able to take advantage of Zhengchun, Dahe, and Zongju in the future. 】

Honda Masamune is still doing financial work with Wise Chang'an, which is funny, these two people are bitter enemies in history, and they have become master-apprentice colleagues in this time and space, which is definitely beyond the imagination of Wise Kogoro, the [initiator]. And Ryuzaki Taiga was sent to the side of Akechi Samasuke and began to do some small odd jobs. Yagyu's current mission is still to be one of the bodyguards, to protect the inner family of the wise family, and the wise Kogoro and even in history he is a shrewd and capable and ruthless politician, but he appreciates both of them, and good officials are often able to break their hearts.

Wise Kogoro plans to use this three people as the core team to build the next generation of wise family bureaucracy to serve Takechiyo, of course, this bureaucratic team will have more children to join it, such as Wise (Yoshida) Toshimitsu who has changed his surname.

However, Yamazaki Makuichi certainly can't understand the long-term plan of Akechi Kogoro, after all, he is only a teenager and has not yet seen too long, he just feels that he is suddenly deprived of his samurai status, as if he has cut off his future. And even if he can return to the wise home in the future, the long time of studying art for two years will make him be far away from his peers。。。。。。

As if to understand what Makuichi Yamazaki was thinking, Ayano suddenly spoke:

[Yamazaki-sama, it's better for you to stay, Wise-sama just talked to me, five years later, when you return to the Wise family, no matter how well you learn, you will be reused by Wise-sama and serve as a foot-light general.] 】

[Well, yes, you have to think about Makuichi, you will only be in your twenties in five years, and you will be a general before you are twenty-five years old, but you don't have it in my family. 】

Wise Kogoro said calmly:

[You don't need to worry about your future road at all, you can learn art with Mr. Takenomiya with peace of mind, and 。。。。。。 】

He suddenly leaned into Yamazaki Makuichi's ear and whispered:

[You also have a chance to get close to Ayano, in the past five years, you must take her down.] 】

As he spoke, he put on a smile of "I'm optimistic about you".

It's all said and done, and if Yamazaki Makuchi doesn't agree, he will inevitably be a little uninteresting, and Ayano's words also make him have no worries, what else is there to worry about?

【Bamboo Palace。。。。。。 Master, the little Yamazaki Makuchi is not talented, I hope that the master will be included in the door wall, and the small one must do his best, learn martial arts well, and not embarrass you and the Akiba Dojo! Please! 】

As he spoke, he kowtowed three times to Takenomiya Hataro, who smiled heartily and helped him up.

[Makuichi, in fact, as early as Echigo, your lord had this idea, I fancy you are also a qualified talent worth cultivating, and I also intend to accept you as the heir of the autumn leaf stream, this is not only your lord and my mind, but also the creation of your life, don't you want to? ] 】

[Please forgive the little one for being rude just now, the little one is very happy.] 】

【Good!】 Good! Mr. Takenomiya, Makuichi will be handed over to you, so you need to give him a lot of advice. 】

[Haha, it's easy to say, it's easy to say。。。。。。 】

At dinner time, under the auspices of Akechi Kogoro, Makuichi Yamazaki's apprenticeship ceremony began. As an apprentice, Yamazaki Makuichi bowed to Takenomiya Hataro; Wise Kogoro took the role of a parent instead of Yamazaki Nagatoku, who was thousands of miles away, and read the apprenticeship letter; The master and apprentice said some polite words, Yamazaki Makuichi said that he admired Takenomiya Hataro for a long time, hoping to learn skills from him, and Takenomiya Hataro also modestly said that he was a dry bone in the mound, which was of little use, so he could only do his best to help Yamazaki Nagatoku practice; After that, Yamazaki Makuchi offered five glasses of wine with both hands, symbolizing the prince of heaven and earth, which was the common value orientation of the Chinese civilization circle influenced by Confucianism in that era, and it was also the legitimacy and reasonable basis of the current Japanese social ethics and morality, which has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, Takenomiya Hataro drank five glasses of wine separately, which was regarded as recognizing this disciple, and then he also took out a letter of acceptance of the apprentice, saying that he was responsible and responsible as a master, and that he would treat Yamazaki Makuichi like a son in the future, and finally, the two exchanged tokens, Yamazaki Maku's own sword was given to his master, and the latter gave him a rib. At this point, the apprenticeship ceremony is over.
