“…… Do you have the courage to say it again? ”

The enraged Denji's snort grew, and his slender eyes stared straight at Xiuzong, who was making a big deal in front of him.

Of course, Xiuzong is not afraid of hostile Chuanji like ordinary people. He pointed to Chuanji's slender eyes and scolded again:

"Okay, then I'll say it again, the thin-eyed bastard squire?"

After that, Xiuzong turned his head and asked Xiulai Xiuguang with a smile on his face that was no different from that of a scoundrel:

"That's what he said he wanted me to say again, so both Shitaro-sama and Koichiro-sama should have heard it, right?"

Looking at Xiuzong, who had no sense of fear in the face of Chuanji's verbal threats and provoked the other party in turn, Xiuguang suddenly felt that it was really the right thing to take this guy with him every time he went out, and he had saved himself the effort to curse.

Thinking about it, Hidemitsu took his eyes off Hidemune and Denji and turned to Chinoyo, who was standing near Denji, hoping that Senyo, the master of Denji, would come forward to resolve the quarrel. After all, it's not good to really quarrel, and if it causes a commotion, it may even attract too much attention from others.

But contrary to what he thought, Chinoyo not only didn't have the intention of preparing to persuade him, but instead put on a face that was ready to see the excitement, as if he was curious about who was better if his attendant Denji fought with the other party's attendant.

Hey...... Chinomaru-sama, do you know how serious the consequences of getting the attention of the Shodai are? No matter what happens to us, even if you're not an ordinary samurai but a child of a daimyo family, something will happen.

Hidemitsu remembered the reputation of Katsushige Itakura, the representative of Kyoto's shoshi, and the number of people who were said to be more than 100 people in the same heart, and nervously wiped the sweat from his forehead.

When he stared straight at Chinoyo's face, for some reason, the other party immediately looked away after noticing his gaze, and then looked back a few times from time to time, turning his face in the direction of the riverbank, looking a little embarrassed.

Hidemitsu felt a little strange, and stared at Chinoyo more and more.

In the gap between Xiuguang diverting attention, Xiuzong and Chuanji quarreled more and more fiercely, from the initial provocation to the current finger pointing, I am afraid that it will not be long before I will have to draw the knife.

"You impudent ......"

Denji leaned forward slightly, and had already placed three fingers near the hilt of the sword, but he didn't seem to have made up his mind to pull it out.

However, Xiuzong didn't seem to feel scared at all, and didn't even touch the knife at his waist, but rolled up his sleeves and crossed his hands in front of his chest, and continued to grin and make a mocking voice:

"Oh, are you going to draw your sword?"

…… Although Xiuzong is very good-mouthed, sometimes he doesn't seem to know how to be restrained.

Chinoyo's eyes were still wandering, and Hidemitsu felt that he had to deal with the matter on his own. Just as he was about to speak, an unexpected person spoke up before him.

"I think you're quite right."

After being silent for a while, Hideyori walked slowly in front of Denji and said this.

"I just thought about it carefully, what Your Excellency just said is indeed reasonable, even if you have read a lot of books, if you don't even know ordinary things, then it is indeed lonely and unheard. I'll remember that. ”

"So thank you very much for your teachings today. Although I was here for a while today because of my brother, I learned a lot. ”

Xiu Lai's words were very sincere, serious and pure, without a trace of other meaning. He didn't care about the rudeness and status of Denji before, and nodded at Denji to show his gratitude.

“…… Well. ”

Denji was a little surprised by Hideyori's sudden thanks, but in short, he responded softly, nodded, and then removed his hand from the hilt, looking at Hideyori's gaze changed slightly.

Xiuguang saw that the atmosphere had eased a little, and immediately walked to Xiuzong's side and tore him away, signaling him not to get involved in this matter for the time being.

“…… Hyogoro, be a little more restrained. Apologize quickly and don't make a big deal out of it. ”

"Huh? Want me to apologize? …… Your Highness, don't be kidding. ”

“…… It's just a formality, and I'll ask you. ”

“…… Well, since His Highness said so, I, Hyogoro, will make an exception for this guy today...... Apologies. ”

After muttering quietly, Xiuzong put down his rolled up sleeves, walked up to Chuan Ji with a reluctant face, and apologized:

“…… I'm sorry I was rude. ”

After saying that, he added:

"I apologized to you for the sake of the face of Lord Shitaro and Lord Koichiro!"

Not caring about the other party's face after hearing this, Xiuzong retreated behind Xiu Lai and Xiuguang after quickly speaking.

Chuan Ji sighed softly after hearing it, although he was dissatisfied, but for the sake of Hideyori's face, he didn't pursue it again.

Xiuguang breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that this matter was finally over, and then turned his head to look at Xiulai, thinking that what his brother said today was really good, and he couldn't help but be a little respectful.

When he was thinking about these things, he didn't realize that Chinoyo was looking at him thoughtfully.

……

……

After a casual walk for a while, it was quickly noon. After walking around the side street for a while, Xiuguang and the others chose a stall and sat down, and ate a few strings of dumplings with bean paste filling by the way.

Xiulai had never eaten such civilian food before, so he was very curious to pick up a bunch from his plate, looked at it for a while, and then ate it slowly.

When Hidemitsu and Hidemune were in Osaka Castle in the past, they secretly went to the castle town to eat these things, so they seemed to be very casual and ate a lot of food.

Denji first respectfully brought the plate containing the skewers to the master Chinoyo, and after Chinoyo picked up the dumplings and finished eating, he stood a little away from the master and began to gnaw slowly.

Hidemitsu glanced at Chinoyo, who was happily eating skewers, then picked up the plate in his hand and jumped down from where he was sitting, walked to Chinoyo's right-hand side, patted his butt and sat down.

Denji glanced at Hidemitsu with some wariness, but Chinoyo shook his head and signaled that he was okay.

"Speaking of which, Senyo,"

Hidemitsu and Chinoyo rested on their left shoulders against their right. He looked at the other party's still beautiful eyes, swallowed the ball in his mouth, and suddenly asked:

"What's in that bag of yours?"

The brocade bag in Hidemitsu's mouth is, of course, the brocade bag that was returned to Chinoyo this morning.

Xiuguang, who had been a little curious about this brocade bag for a long time, thought that now that he was free, there was nothing to do, so he could just ask.

Of course, this is only one of the reasons. In fact, most of it was because I wanted to chat with Chinoyo, who I hadn't seen for a year. However, Xiuguang still had to find a close topic and a reason to convince himself.
