"My lord! You...... It's amazing! Walking out of the house, the island said to me excitedly. I saw a bunch of little stars in his eyes.

"Hmm...... Ha...... It's nothing! I just walked a little more and read a few more books! It's really nothing remarkable. "Sometimes I really don't know how to explain my "rich" knowledge.

"With a courtier like you, it's no wonder that Nobu Nagaden was able to defeat Imagawa Yoshimoto's army of 40,000." Shima Katsu didn't seem to want to end the topic. "Pointing out the world, the great heroes of the past and present are nothing more than that! It seems that the peace of the world is hopeful, and it is really my luck to be able to follow you to complete the great cause! ”

"You're right...... It's just too much! "That being said, my heart blossomed. The praise of an honest person like Shimakatsu Takeshi sounds much more comfortable than a slippery head like Keiji Maeda.

"My lord! There's one thing. His face suddenly tightened, as if he had suddenly remembered something. As you were talking, I sensed that someone was watching in the dark. ”

"Ahh Did you find out who it was? I asked nervously. It's far from the Oda family's sphere of influence, and God knows what will happen.

"I don't know! I didn't notice his location at all, I just felt his presence. It should be a master, and he will be gone in a while. Shimakatsu said.

"That'...... It can only be counted as one step at a time! "There's nothing I can do, it's not my forte." What's wrong with it? "I noticed that Shimakatsu stopped again.

"Where are Maeda and Yamanaka-senpai?"

Sure enough, the courtyard was quiet, only the breeze was gently blowing the bamboo leaves......

**********************************************************

When I found the two of them again, I couldn't laugh or cry at what I saw! Keiji Maeda was lying in the corner of the room, sleeping, and I was attracted by his snoring. Around him, at least 10 empty bottles were thrown around. Yamanaka Kanosuke sat next to Tsuda Muneki, looking at me with a flushed face, and it seemed that he had said everything that should be said and what should not be said.

"Kanosuke, this is ......," I asked angrily.

"Lord Stars! Please don't blame them. "Tsuda Mune and Spring Breeze are full of reproaches who stop me." Your samurai are truly bold, and I treat them with all my heart! Or do you look down on me as a businessman? ”

"I'm ashamed of what you say!" I'll have to put it down first.

"I just heard from Yamanaka-sama that you only have these three adults under your command, and they all joined your disciples not long ago. Is that so? Seeing that I nodded, he continued: "Of course, the skills of the three adults are unquestionable! But depending on your ability, you will definitely take on many great responsibilities in the Oda family! Isn't there a slight shortage of manpower? ”

"You're overrated! I'm not a retainer of the Oda family, and I've only been a samurai for less than half a year, so I'm only a head ...... ashigaru," I heard from him, and it seemed like I was going to recommend someone. "Besides, it's a great blessing to have the help of a few of them, so what's not to be satisfied with?" It's not that I don't want to recruit, it's that I can't afford my meager salary of 20 times.

"Your Excellency, you shouldn't think so! In these troubled times...... Ay! Sokazu Tsuda sighed and continued, "No one can predict what will happen, and sometimes even if you are as brave as a god, you can't do it! ”

For example...... "I didn't understand what he meant."

"For example, the threat from the dark, have you considered it?"

"To be honest, I didn't really think about ......it, but I probably didn't have the self-consciousness to be a samurai. Glancing at Kanosuke and Shimakatsu, he saw that they were thinking about it, perhaps thinking that they should take the issue seriously. "You have a lot of point! But I don't think anyone is going to assassinate me right now, and ...... I'm in ...... right now: "I'm still worried about my wallet.

"Don't worry! The two ninjas I recommended to you don't need to pay a salary, just take care of room and board. "I deserve to be a leading businessman, and I can see my concerns at a glance." Their skills are absolutely high, but they lack experience. You don't even have to accept them as official retainers now. After three years, if you are satisfied with each other, will you hire again? ”

"That's right......" I'm really curious about the "ninja" profession.

"Have you already negotiated your business?" Seeing my vacillation, he decided to go the other way.

"Ahh …… I bought 200 of them, thanks to your help this time! "The jump was so big that I didn't react for a while.

"Do you think that's good? I'll help you smuggle the cannon back in other cargo, and I'll stop taking your money. ”

"Good! Thank you so much! "He really helped me with that idea.

"Come and meet Lord Zhuxing!" Tsuda Munekazu casually opened a door and said loudly inside. Looking at the two people who walked out, I understood what he meant by "inexperienced". "This is my brother Kusunoki Hayato, 14 years old." He pointed to the boy on his left. "This is my sister Nanmu Ying, 11 years old." This time it's the girl on the right. I suddenly felt that he wanted me to take care of his children for 3 years.

"Meet your lord!" The two teenagers fell to the ground, and their crisp voices were very good.

"I'll be working hard for you from now on!" I think this "business" is still very cost-effective. Especially that girl, no matter what her martial arts are, is a ninja after all. With her by Xianzhi's side, I can put a lot of peace of mind.

"What's the matter?" As soon as he went out, Keiji Maeda was sober. "I thought this profiteer had some ulterior motives! But there are some that are not. In vain I was so careful! After speaking, he walked forward with a grunt.

A few of us looked at each other in amazement......
