At this time in Kyushu, let's turn our attention to Osaka Castle at this time. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
The person who is now playing Hidemitsu in Osaka Castle is the young lord of the Wind Demon Ninja Tsuru Nosuke.
To be honest, for nearly twenty days since he returned to Osaka Castle in early February, Tsuranosuke has lived a somewhat frightened life. No, to be precise, it should be a life from calm to fearful.
When Tsuranosuke first returned to Osaka Castle, it was like this:
"Toyotomi-sama and Irisawa-sensei have already arrived over there. Next, I, Tsuru no Suke, will take on the responsibility of the Shadow Warrior~"
Then, this is Tsuru no Suke after more than twenty days:
"Shang ...... Elder Shang...... Should...... No one came, right? β
During these twenty days or so, even if Tsuru no Suke stayed in the room obediently, from time to time there would be retainers or subordinates who would come over to inquire about various matters. Tsuunosuke can only bite the bullet and try his best to pretend to be sick and sleep or pretend to be stupid and fool around.
Not only during the day, but also during meal times and bathing, there will be people, which makes Tsuranosuke, who is in this state every day, a little in a trance.
Well, actually, it's not to blame Tsuru no Suke.
In this state every day, even a powerful and determined ninja will be more or less panicked or in a trance. Not to mention Tsuunosuke, a young ninja who is still immature and only fourteen years old.
Now, Tsuranosuke has entered the days of being scared every day in his room and nesting under the covers. And it really scared out of a minor illness, so the nervous Mrs. Yodo specially invited the doctor to come here. But that's even more intimidating for Tsuranosuke.
But in a way, Tsuranosuke, the shadow warrior, is very competent, and he plays it very well. On the contrary, Xiuguang's impression of "being sick, liking to nest in a room, and not being good at communicating with others" is more prominently enriched.
Although he was scared every day, fortunately, our Oda Naonaga was by his side every day as a close attendant.
"Tsurunosuke, hold on a little longer, it's been more than twenty days now. Maybe Your Highness, they'll be back soon. β
"Yes...... Is that ......."
Shang Chang looked at Tsuru Nosuke who was cowering in the quilt with some trouble.
Speaking of which, Shang Chang is not as calm and composed as he seems on the surface. In fact, he is sometimes more flustered than Tsusunosuke, who is the shadow warrior. For example, when the retainers came, there were also times when Mrs. Yodo came to visit and ask questions.
Remembering that when His Royal Highness was still in Osaka Castle, he was a little excited and said "Wrap it up on me, you can rest assured to go to Kyushu", which can be regarded as a boast to himself, Shang Chang felt that his current self was a little useless.
"I really want to play with Yashiro and them......"
"Tsuru no suke, bear with me, and when His Highness returns, I will be able to go to Kenhao-sama's side."
Master Jianhao refers to the old man. Shang Chang has always respected him.
But Tsuranosuke's mood is still low:
"Damn...... Tsukichiyo that guy...... Now I must be playing with Yashiro and Koheita on Grandpa Jianhao's side...... Maybe they're secretly making fun of me behind my back......"
"No, no, Tsukichiyo is actually ......"
ββ¦β¦ In fact? β
"No, nothing ......"
In fact, Tsukichiyo often came to visit his brother Tsurunosuke when he was asleep.
But......
"Don't tell my brother I've been here! Don't tell your brother! Otherwise, you know the consequences......
Although Shang Chang wanted to tell Tsuru no Suke about this, but when he remembered that Tsukichiyo had specifically told him not to tell Tsuru no suke that he had been here, Shang Chang had to swallow his words.
However, the relationship between the brother and sister is really good.
Alas...... Why isn't this the case in my house......
Shang Nacho looked at Tsuru no Suke, who was shivering in the bed, blinked with some envy, and then sighed.
Now thinking of his father and brother, Shang Chang is still a little scared.
A few days ago, Shang went back to his father's house for a long time and met his father once.
The scene at that time was like this:
"Shang Chang, I haven't seen you grow taller again for a long time. Come here, come here. β
His father, Yurakusai, seemed to be happy to beckon him over.
Shang Chang's elder brother Lai Chang and Chang Zheng were both sitting on the side.
Lai Chang didn't show any special signs of Shang Chang's arrival, just nodded at him, and then got up and left to help his father deal with government affairs.
And Changzheng stared at Shang Chang as soon as he came in, looking nervous. Shang Chang was frightened by his brother who looked like this.
"Shang Chang, there shouldn't have been anything wrong recently, right?"
You Lezhai picked up the tea bowl and took a sip.
"Hmm...... Nothing lately. β
Shang Chang kept Xiuguang's advice in mind and resolutely did not expose the matter to anyone, including his father.
You Lezhai put down the tea bowl, his eyes narrowed slightly, glanced at him, and then continued to ask:
"Yes. That's good. Of course, Hidemitsu-sama is fine, right? Are you okay? Didn't embarrass you, did you? β
"Yes...... Your Highness's body is fine now, and he doesn't embarrass me. β
Shang Chang said with some cringe.
He lifted his eyelids slightly and looked at his father, Yurakusai.
I specially called myself over and asked about these seemingly ordinary things. But there's always a sense of clichΓ©.
My father wanted to know something from his own mouth. Shang Chang thought.
Although he has rarely had contact with his father since he became a small surname on His Highness's side, for some reason, his brother Changzheng always seems to like to come over to ask about the situation here.
It's really suspicious.
Even Shang Chang, who usually doesn't care about these things, gradually became a little suspicious.
So in the following questions about Xiuguang, Shang Chang covered up the facts and did not tell them the truth.
So, after a long list of seemingly ordinary questions, Youle Zhai asked Shang Chang to go back.
"Hey, Master Shang, what are you sighing about?"
"Ah...... Nothing, just thinking about something. β
It wasn't until Tsuru no suke waved his hand in front of his eyes that Shocho reacted from his memories.
"Alas......"
Sighing again, Shang Chang stood up, opened the sliding door of the room, looked at the sky outside, and felt that it was not too early.
"It's time to eat. I'm going to rush the cook. β
"Yes...... Walking...... Then come back soon......"
Nacho walked out of the room, then carefully closed the sliding door and walked towards Osaka Castle's kitchen.
Just as he walked to a certain corridor, he suddenly noticed a familiar figure not far in front of him.
"Brother......
Standing in front is Shang Chang's elder brother Changzheng.
