"Xiao Zhu you guy, it's really idle for our brothers......"

In the early morning of February 4, 1606, six days after Tsuranosuke's disguise was completed, the door of Kosuke's medical center in Himeji Castle Castle was suddenly pushed open by two uninvited guests. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Xiuguang and Xiuzong were a little overwhelmed when they saw their sudden incursion.

Let's go back to the morning of February 4th.

At this time, Hidemitsu and his party stayed in Xiaosuke's medical hall because Xiao Su asked to wait a few more days.

In fact, the question of how to go to sea is also a particularly troublesome matter. Although he had made a plan with Irizawa and the others before leaving, it was difficult to guarantee their safety at sea.

So, since Xiao Suke said that someone could come over and help and take them with him, of course it would be a convenient thing to ask for. So, Hidemitsu agreed to stay here for a few days.

Speaking of which, Hidemitsu's most important thing to thank now is that he is in Edo Ishimaru. Without his letters of introduction and connections, it would be difficult to carry out the plan, let alone want to go to sea.

When I go back after running errands in Kyushu, I must reward Ishimaru well. Xiuguang thought about it as he walked around the medical hall.

Xiuguang and Xiuzong both got up early. Xiuzong is because of the daily kendo morning practice, while Xiuguang is because of the habit of getting up early as always. Xiuzong wielded a wooden knife in the courtyard, while Xiuguang walked around with his feet on the smooth wooden floor.

Xiuguang looked around for a moment. Although there was no trace of Irizawa Shinnai everywhere, Hidemitsu knew that he must have gotten up early, and was secretly protecting their safety as usual.

The owners of the medical hall, Xiao Zhu and Xiujia, should still be asleep at this time. Xiuguang couldn't bear to disturb their sweet dreams, so he asked Xiuzong to make as little noise as possible while practicing.

They woke up about 6 a.m. Now, after some time, it's after seven o'clock. The morning mist and dew gradually dissipated, and the sunlight shone in, covering the edges and corners of the hospital house with a golden glow. Today is also an ordinary sight on a normal winter morning.

At this quiet hour, the door of the medical hall was rudely pushed open by two uninvited guests.

Xiuguang was still wandering around the medical hall, and Xiuzong had just finished his kendo practice and was resting on the wooden floor in the medical hall. So, when these two uninvited guests barged in, they were a little overwhelmed by this sudden unfolding.

"Hey! Kosuke! Come out of here! ”

"Brother, could it be that guy is still sleeping?"

"Haha, it's very likely, after all, that kid has always been sleepy."

As if they had entered their own home, they threw their shoes away and stepped in.

Both of them are elderly people who are about seventy years old. One of them is slightly younger than the other. Both of them are sturdy, with dark skin, piercing eyes, and square eyebrows, giving people a sense of sharpness of a sword.

When they walked in with a big grin at the beginning, they were also keenly aware of the existence of Xiuguang and his party.

"Ahh

When the older old man saw Xiuguang, he came up and looked around him for a long time.

Then, he saw Xiuzong again, and he stepped forward to look around him several times with curiosity like a child.

"Na, Isan! You say! ”

The old man smiled like a child, patted another old man who was younger than him beside him, and asked mysteriously:

"You say, these children are the illegitimate children of that kid Kosuke?"

“…… How is it possible, brother, it is impossible to be good or bad when you look at your age. ”

The younger old man, whom he had called Izo, looked at him helplessly and replied.

“…… Eh, wait, if it's this kid, maybe it's Kosuke's illegitimate child. ”

As he spoke, Yi San saw Xiuguang again, so he squatted down and stared at Xiuguang carefully for a long time.

The nonsensical speculation and jokes of the two old men made Xiuguang very helpless.

"Uh...... That one...... I'm not ......."

Just as Hidemitsu wanted to explain that he was not Kosuke's son and wanted to escape from the watchful eyes of the two old men, Kosuke, who was still immersed in sleep not long ago, had already woken up.

Kosuke rubbed his sleepy eyes, and seemed a little reluctant to get up. But as soon as he saw the visitor's face, he got dressed and ran out of the room.

"Oh oh oh, Uncle Qinghai and Uncle Yisan, you've finally arrived!"

Xiao Suke ran to the foyer and walked towards the two old men.

"Xiao Zhu, this guy, you can really instruct us old men to work."

The old man named Chingkai also looked very happy, and slapped his hands heavily on Kosuke's shoulders.

"Wow...... It's going to hurt, Uncle Ching Hai......"

"So you kid still screams in pain!"

Ching Hai grabbed Kosuke's neck with his thick arm and smiled evilly.

“…… Hey, when did you kid have an illegitimate child? ”

“…… Ha? ”

Ching Hai, who was as curious as a child, asked in a low voice with a grin. And Xiao Suke was so confused by his nonsensical question that he almost didn't react.

"Wait! No! Uncle Ching Hai, you're mistaken! I don't have any illegitimate children! ”

Kosuke explained as he tried to break out of Ching Hai's arm:

"Those grown-ups are not my illegitimate children! They're the ones I asked you to help send to Chikuzen this time! ”

"Cut...... What, it turns out that it's not the illegitimate son of Xiao Zhu. I thought you'd be here for so long, you should have had one or two kids......"

Ching Hai pursed his lips in some disappointment, and reluctantly opened his arms to let go of Kosuke, looking unhappy.

“…… Brother, I've overdone it. ”

The younger brother Yi San on the side couldn't stand it anymore, and taught his brother Qinghai a lesson.

Xiuguang and Xiuzong stood aside in a daze, completely unable to interject from the scene that happened in front of them.

"This old man is really an old naughty boy......"

This is the common view of Xiuguang and Xiuzong.

After Kosuke got rid of Chinghae's arm and touched his neck that was about to break, he immediately introduced the two old men to Hidemitsu and the others.

"Ahem, ahem, let me introduce you. The older one is Uncle Ching Hai, and the younger one is Uncle Yi San. They had lived in this area of the Seto Inland Sea for a long time, so they were familiar with various aspects such as waterways. They are the two I asked to send you to Chikuzen, and they are also my former colleagues, so please don't worry about safety. ”

Xiuguang nodded, then turned to Ching Hai and Yi San,

"His name is Yoshibei, and he went to Chikuzen Province before he had something to do. It's a blessing to have the help of both of you. Thank you very much. ”

Hidemitsu continued to move out of the pseudonym he used when he was in Kishu to call himself.

"Oh? Are you the one who is going to Kyushu? ”

Qinghai looked at Xiuguang with a curious and tentative gaze,

"It's not good to stay at home and have fun, but you have to march around. You're such a funny kid. ”

Xiuguang didn't know if this experienced old man could see through their true identities. However, the feeling of "being interested in yourself" in the old man's smiling eyes was not a lie.
