Sasa Narumasa followed in Ayahime's footsteps, but instead of going to Ayahime's residence, he left Honmaru.

At a stable inside the city gates, Ayahime stopped.

She didn't solve the doubts in Zuo Zuo Chengzheng's heart, but she quickly took off her suit, revealing the short fight inside it.

"Are you going out of town?"

Narumasa had already seen his black horse in the stable, the black horse was not variegated at all, and its fur was shiny black, a head taller than the ordinary Kiso horse, which was the BMW Black Cloud that Narumasa had captured from Takeda Harunobu in the battle of Kawanakajima last year.

Although Heiyun has a fierce reputation in the Takeda family, when he arrives in the crotch of Sasa Chengzheng, he is docile and psychic, and he is quite loved by Chengzheng.

"Please come with me, sir."

An attendant had already untied the ropes, and Ayahime stepped onto her maroon mare and walked out of Hojo Castle with a coquettish shout.

There is also a majestic white horse next to the chestnut hair, which is the release of the moon hair that Uesugi Teruhu once ridden, and was later given to Sasa Narumasa, and then rushed into the main camp of the Takeda army with Sasa Narumasa, but when he retreated later, the release of the moon hair was injured and one leg was a little lame.

The release of the moon hair thus became a horse for the people of Naohu Ii and Sasaharu to walk, but Ayahime never touched her.

Sasa Narumasa habitually stroked the neck of the moon hair, and the pale yellow mane trembled for a while, which was quite eye-catching in the night.

"Stay at home, I'll go out for a walk and come back."

He patted the cheek of the released moon hair, and the horse was reluctant to rub it on him, so he let Chengzheng leave.

Sasa Seimasa stepped onto Kuroyun's broad back, pulled the reins, and followed Ayahime out.

After entering the castle town, Ayahime took out a bottle of wine from the bag behind the saddle and threw it back, but Sasa Narumasa naturally caught it steadily, and he really wondered about Ayahime's motives.

What exactly does she want to do?

Out of the castle town, Ayahime began to slowly accelerate in the streets, chestnut hair trotted briskly, as if something had been broken in the cold and silent night, the woods were filled with the sound of birds and owls screaming, and the insects in the fields were also chirping more cheerfully and louder, as if even the weeds on the side of the road were being urged by the two of them, swaying from side to side in the cool night breeze.

"Ordinary DISCO, we shake it ordinarily~~ and rush into the sky in the ordinary ...... of the move"

Sasa Narumasa hummed and chirped and sang a song that he could only understand, always three feet away from Ayahime, and followed her unhurriedly.

I didn't see her stopping, so the two of them went one after the other, along the street all the way north to the shoreline.

By the time the tide roared into my ears and the streets came to an end, and the reef beach by the sea was littered with gravel of all sizes, it was no longer possible to ride a horse.

Ayahime finally turned over and dismounted, found a stone with a fairly clean surface and sat down, holding her cheeks in one hand and a small sake jug in the other, drinking one bite at a time.

Sasa Narimasa followed her for half the night, and seeing that she still had no desire to speak, and her patience had been exhausted, he sat down opposite Ayahime and asked:

"What is the reason why Ayahime-sama called me? I still ......"

Halfway through his second half of the sentence "I still have something to do", he suddenly touched Ayahime's slightly cold and lonely gaze, and his heart was already timid, so he couldn't continue.

For Ayahime, she always felt guilty.

"You've never drunk with me like this."

Ayahime didn't think too much, just picked up the small wine jug at Chengzheng, raised her neck and took two sips.

Seeing Ayahime like this, Chengzheng felt even more ashamed in his heart, and secretly made up his mind, no matter how Ayahime messed around tonight, let her be.

"It's my fault for the past."

Cheng Zheng also raised his head to drink, after the entrance, only to find that this pot of wine is sweet in the mouth, fruity, after swallowing it is still fragrant, he can't help but be a little surprised, this pot of wine is by no means a muddy wine sake or something, but a white wine brought from Nanban.

"This wine is very delicious, I like to eat plums and drink wine at the same time, but it's a pity that Hua Mei doesn't bring much, otherwise I can give you an extra pot."

Ayahime obviously noticed Narumasa's surprised expression, tilted her little head and smiled, this smile made Sasa Narumasa little distracted, because he clearly saw that Ayahime's smile was amazing, with a little shyness and cunning, very similar to Uesugi Huihu's smile.

Even the two of them looked very similar when they laughed, and Sasa Chengzheng couldn't help but feel hot in his heart.

But...... No, it shouldn't be like this.

Sasa shook his head vigorously and told himself that he was not using Ayahime as a substitute for marrying her.

From the very beginning, he did have good intentions.

Ayahime's cleverness and exquisiteness, Ayahime's virtue and perseverance, are all beautiful qualities, and these qualities are not possessed by Uesugi Terutoka.

Sasa Naimasa didn't fall in love with Ayahime at first, but he did have a good impression of her for a long time, so at the celebration banquet after his return from Kanto, he would compete with the Kakizaki Keike family for tat-for-tat for her.

At that time, Zuo Zuo Chengzheng was not an exaggeration to say that he was angry at the crown.

But after getting married, every time Sasa Narimasa saw Ayahime's face that looked very similar to his sister, all that circled in his mind was the woman named Uesugi Teruto.

Unconsciously, Uesugi Terutora is not only the object of Sasa Narumasa's loyalty and admiration, but also a shackle that plagues Ayahime and Narumasa.

- If Seimasa accepts and falls in love with Ayahime, it will be tantamount to a betrayal of Teruto.

At that time, Sasa Chengzheng really thought so.

Therefore, he avoided Ayahime again and again, although he didn't think of her as a substitute for Teruho, but unknowingly caused the fact, although Sasa Naruma didn't want to hurt Aya, he did hurt her deeply in his evasion again and again.

Thinking of this, Zuo Zuo Chengzheng was doubly embarrassed, raised his head and poured a few mouthfuls, but accidentally choked on his throat and immediately coughed.

Ayahime, who was listening to the wind and watching the sea on the side, leaned over in a panic and gently patted Cheng Zheng's back, although she tried her best to be cold to Cheng Zheng these days, but at this moment, maybe because of the effect of alcohol, she couldn't help but pounce.

Cheng Zheng coughed for a while, gasping slightly, and finally returned to normal, as soon as he looked up, he noticed Ayahime's affectionate eyes, and couldn't help but tremble in his heart.

"Cheng... Masa-san, can I still call you that? ”

Hearing the other party's slightly timid inquiry, Sasa Narumasa was even more ashamed, since they quarreled over the fire at Sakado Castle last fall, Ayahime had never called Narumasa's name again, and had always used the honorific title of "Husband-sama".

"Yes, of course you can, if you like it, call me Baga Chengzheng, it's no problem."

"No, that's the name of Tiger Chiyo, and if I say it, I'll just call you Chengmasa-san."

"Hay."

Speaking of this, both of them realized the affection in each other's eyes, and they fell silent in unison.

The cold sea breeze kept blowing, but it couldn't cool the hot hearts of the two, Ayahime only felt her heart pounding, and wanted to confess her heart to Chengzheng, but she was afraid of rejection, and she was in a dilemma for a while, only her breathing became more and more rapid, and her face showed a shy and unspeakable look.

Just when she was about to suffocate because of this, Sazuo Chengzheng suddenly spoke:

"I like you, Aya."

In an instant, Ayahime regained her breath and strength, and a sense of ecstasy and satisfaction welled up in her heart, and the resentment and loneliness I felt from being treated coldly disappeared.

She only felt her body soften, snuggling up to the man with broad arms as soft as a bone, and then her response was as thin as a gnat:

“…… あだじも。 ”

Heaven made the dome and the ground made the bed, and the two of them rolled and surged like white waves on the rocky beach by the sea...... (To be continued.) )
