It was also the 25th day of February in the 11th year of Keicho (1606). Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Jeonden has returned to Akizuki Castle, while Hidemitsu and the others are still in the process of rearing at the inn in Hirado.

Finally, all the official trips are over, and of course I have to relax. So, now Hidemitsu and his party have been resting in the inn in Hirado for two whole days.

Hidemitsu has been following Hidemune out to all corners of Hirado for the past two days. The atmosphere of Hirado is similar to that of Hakata, with a prosperous atmosphere of a large harbor and a large commercial cluster, full of shops and strange goods from exotic countries. That's why Xiuguang and Xiuzong especially like to visit this kind of place.

The Xiu family stayed in the inn to read ancient books. As for Irizawa Shinai, it is estimated that they will either follow and protect Xiuguang and them, or stay in the hotel to protect Xiu's family.

"Well, Your Highness, is it really okay if we don't hurry back?"

In the lively streets of Hirado, Hidemitsu and Hidemune are walking. Hidemune seems to be a little worried about what happened in Osaka Castle. However, Xiuguang is quite calm, and his attention has been on the various shops around him.

"What's wrong? Want to go back so soon? I thought you were a fungiver. ”

"No, I'm worried that it won't be exposed. After all, it's been about a month since we set off. After a long time, will Tsurunosuke's side be easily exposed? ”

"Well. Here we have to believe in the power of Shang Chang. If there are no special circumstances, it will generally be fine. ”

As he spoke, Hidemitsu casually picked up something similar to a pipe from the nearby shop and played with it with his hand.

But what Hidemitsu didn't know was that in fact, Tsuranosuke and Shocho, who were far away in Osaka Castle, had already had a very thrilling encounter. That's right, it was the time when Changzheng almost broke in. Fortunately, Xiu Lai came forward later, otherwise no one knows what the consequences would be now.

"It's still long? Your Highness, even if Shang Chang looks much better now than the original crybaby, I always feel that he is not very good! Especially in front of that old guy of his! Your Highness, you are too calm! ”

Xiuzong, who was in a panic, suddenly messed up, and he didn't know what he was doing.

Well, in fact, Xiuzong's worries are reasonable and correct.

Xiuguang thought about it and felt that it made sense. Then he said:

"In that case, let's stop staying in Hirado and head south. When we were done to the south, we rushed back. ”

"South...... Your Highness, what the hell do you want to do......"

"It's just a trip to Shira-gun in Osumi Province. There's a famous old man living there. ”

"Well, Your Highness, you often have whims...... No matter! It's still in Kyushu anyway! Go if you want to go! ”

Xiuzong stretched his waist and showed a posture of "Lao Tzu fights".

Xiuguang thought about the next trip for a while, and found that there were still a lot of things to do after going back.

"When I get back, I have to go to Kyoto to meet with His Royal Highness Prince Tomohito of Hachijonomiya and thank him for his help. There's also a trip to Lord Kujou Tadaei's, and by the way, take a look at Sister Wanko. Finally, I had to talk to my brother about trade...... Ah, there's a lot going on, but you have to do it seriously. ”

"Your Highness, it hurts your brain to think about so many things at once. Like me, I don't think about anything every day, how healthy I am~"

“…… You're just too lazy to think about it, Hyogoro. It's easy to be stupid if you don't think too much. ”

"No, no, no~ Your Highness, you're too worried~"

Looking helplessly at Xiuzong who put his arm on the back of his head, Xiuguang sighed.

In the evening, on the way back to the hotel, Hidemitsu and Hidemune went to the harbor to greet Ching Hai and Izo, who were having dinner on the ship, and informed them that they were going to leave tomorrow. Ching Hai, who has a cheerful personality, also agreed as happily as the previous times.

After returning to the hotel, Xiuguang told Xiu Jia about his next plan.

"We'll leave tomorrow morning and take the sea route directly to Osumi Province in Minami Kyushu."

"Do you want to ask Lord Qinghai and the three people of Yi again this time?"

Xiujia closed the scroll and put it back in his luggage,

"The ship of those two is still docked in the port of Hirado."

"Well, I know. Hidemune and I had just gone over to say hello and told Chinghae and Izo that we were sailing for Osumi tomorrow. ”

Xiuguang nodded and began to pack his luggage.

"Lord Xiu, let's start packing up now. I'm expected to leave early tomorrow morning. And Irisawa, now you don't have to hide everywhere, just follow us openly. ”

“…… Yes, Toyotomi-sama. ”

As soon as Xiuguang's words fell, a hoarse voice came from a corner of the room, and then a figure descended from the top of Xiuguang's head.

It's a little scary, but that's how Wind Demon ninjas usually behave.

"Wow! You're really always there for us! ”

Xiuzong was taken aback by the sudden appearance of Irizawa, and quickly flashed to the side, pointing at Irizawa who appeared in the center of the room with his finger.

……

……

"Yo! Imps! We're going to travel far again! ”

The next day, that is, in the early morning of February 26, Xiuguang and his party packed their luggage as promised and came to the port.

And Qinghai and Yi San were also ready to set sail for a long time. Ching Hai was as enthusiastic as ever, while Izo was as silent as ever.

"What are you doing in Osumi? There's nothing fun over there, is there? Or is there something serious going on there? ”

As soon as Xiuguang came to the side of the boat, Ching Hai patted him on the shoulder with a smile and asked.

Wow, you're hurting me a little bit.

Although he thought so in his heart, Xiuguang was not too embarrassed to say it, so he had to press his aching shoulder, frowning and forcing a smile.

"Uh...... In fact, all the business has been done, and the next thing is just to go to Osumi and find someone by the way. ”

"Looking for someone? Who is it? ”

"Well...... He is in seclusion. I was curious about this person, so I wanted to meet him. ”

"Really!"

While Ching Hai was talking to Hidemitsu, Yi San, who had already arrived on the boat, shouted at Ching Hai:

"Brother! It's time to set sail, it's almost time. ”

"Oooh! Good! Imp, get on the boat quickly! ”

"Hmm."

Xiuguang stepped on the deck of the closed ship.

In this way, Hidemitsu and the others boarded the boat to Minami Kyushu and officially began the last trip of their trip to Kyushu.

Who is the reclusive man in Osumi?
