When the Hojo clan, who was sitting in the room of Nanami Hashimoto, was already waiting impatiently and wanted to sail out to sea to find Hojo Shiyasu, the rain curtain outside the window suddenly turned into a drizzling rain.

Seeing that the rain was decreasing, a smile bloomed on Hashimoto Nanami's face, looked at the Hojo clan on the side, and said to him with a smile: "Hojo-sama, it seems that Mr. Yasu and Wakadie have successfully subdued that youkai, so you don't have to worry anymore." ”

A rare smile of relief appeared on the serious face of the Hojo clan at this time, and the haze that had shrouded his heart for many days also dispersed, and he felt an indescribable sense of happiness. After sorting out his mood, the Hojo clan said to Nanami Hashimoto very solemnly at this time: "Mrs. Chiba, there were many rudeness in the Hojo clan before, and I also asked Mrs. Yaliang Haihan." ”

After the Hojo clan finished speaking, he made a big bow to Nanami Hashimoto very formally, and the Hojo Phantom Nunnery on the side and the two samurai of the Hojo family outside the door also saluted Nanami Hashimoto seriously. For Nanami Hashimoto who stopped this heavy rain, whether it is the Hojo clan and Hojo Phantom or other people from the Hojo family, they are all grateful from the bottom of their hearts, because this move of Nanami Hashimoto saved the Hojo family. Therefore, when the Hojo clan apologized to Nana Hashimoto, they also sincerely saluted Nana Hashimoto and expressed their apologies.

"Lord Hojo is serious, it's just a trivial matter, and it's not worth such a big gift from an adult." Nana Hashimoto hurriedly motioned for the Hojo clan and the others to get up, although she looked very mature, Nana Hashimoto, who was still a girl in essence, still felt a little embarrassed by a group of people saluting her.

Seeing that Nana Hashimoto didn't say so, the Hojo clan and the Hojo Phantom and other people from the Hojo family got up. It's just that the Hojo clan is a little embarrassed at this time, because she has been a little guarded and targeted by Hashimoto Nana's future calendar before, and this time he directly brought someone to break into her room, although he has apologized, but the Hojo clan still doesn't know what to say for a while.

Seeing that the atmosphere was suddenly a little embarrassing, Hojo Phantom Nunnery hurriedly played the round, and at the same time, in order to satisfy his curiosity, he asked Nanami Hashimoto: "Mrs. Chiba just mentioned that Zunfu is an onmyoji, and she didn't ask Zunfu which Onmyoji is adult?" The poor monk was born in Hakone Quan and is now not in the Vajra Temple, although he practices Buddhism, but he really lacks understanding of these strange things, this monster rebellion, if it were not for the lady to find out and send a maid to solve the matter, the poor monk never thought that it would be a monster rebellion. ”

"Master Phantom is polite, my husband is Chiba Chiya of the Taisha here in Kyoto, and his reputation is not obvious, presumably the master has never heard of his name." Nana Hashimoto didn't mention Senya, remembering that he was almost infamous in modern times, presumably the same in the Warring States period, so he humbled himself, but to her surprise, Hojo Mirage heard her say the name of Senya, and the look on her face was full of shock.

"It turns out that Madame's husband turned out to be that adult, what a disrespect! If he had known that Mrs. Chiba was the wife of Lord Chiba, how could the Hojo family dare to be so rude! Hojo Phantom hurriedly and respectfully bowed to Nanami Hashimoto again, different from the previous salute that was just thanks, the respect on Hojo Phantom's face at this time was more respectful than when he saluted his brother Hojo Tsuna, which made Nanami Hashimoto and the Hojo Tsunade on the side a little curious.

"Master Phantom has heard of my husband's name? But why didn't Mr. Shi Kang know anything about my husband when I asked him about it? Nanami Hashimoto's tone was full of curiosity, because Hojo Shiyasu really didn't know anything about Chiya and the Taisha here, and the subordinates he sent to Kyoto to inquire about the news had not yet returned from Kyoto, so Nana Hashimoto never heard about Chiya, until Wakadie's arrival, she didn't understand what the situation of Chiya was like in this era.

A wry smile appeared on Hojo Phantom's face, and he explained to Nanami Hashimoto with a somewhat embarrassed expression: "Madame doesn't know, Lord Chiba is indeed not famous for ordinary people. Mrs. asked Shi Kang about this matter, and asked Yu Blind. If it weren't for the fact that the poor monk had heard the master mention this lord in Kyoto when he was a monk in the King Kong Temple, I am afraid that even the poor monk would not know anything about Lord Chiba. ”

Hearing Hojo Phantom's explanation, Nanami Hashimoto nodded at this time, indicating that he understood. At this time, the rain outside the window finally stopped, and after more than half a month of continuous rain, Odawara Castle finally ushered in the sunshine again. Nana Hashimoto looked at the sunlight piercing the clouds, and suddenly said to the Hojo clan on the side: "Hojo-sama is worried about Aiko, why don't we go to the port together to greet Mr. Shiyasu?" The little girl has been stuffy in the room for half a month, and she wants to go out for a walk at this time. ”

The Hojo clan and the Hojo Phantom looked at each other, and after a little consideration, the Hojo Phantom said to Nanami Hashimoto: "Madame is pregnant, but I'm afraid that it will be inconvenient to travel?" If there is any accident, the Hojo family will die. Why don't you take a walk around Odawara Castle and come back to see Madame when Shikang returns? ”

"Master Huan is too worried, although the little girl is pregnant and has difficulty moving, she has not yet reached the point where she can't go out." Nanami Hashimoto shook her head, still with a smile on her face, but rejected Hojo Phantom's proposal: "What's more, pregnant people do need to walk around, and they have been stuffy in the room before, but the little girl is a little depressed." ”

"This ......" Hojo Phantom Nuan saw that Nana Hashimoto did not say so, and glanced at his brother again, and saw that the Hojo clan nodded covertly, and then said to Nanami Hashimoto: "Since Madame insists, it is not easy for the poor monk to object." However, he also asked his wife to wait a while, and the poor monk arranged a comfortable ox cart to take his wife to the port. ”

Nana Hashimoto didn't see Hojo Phantom say this, and a satisfied smile appeared on her face.

————————————————

On the boat back to Odawara Castle, Hojo Shiyasu wrapped his wrist in a handkerchief, looking at the little girl who was being held by Ruodie, the expression on his face was a little indignant but a little shameful, he really didn't expect that the youkai who almost plunged the Hojo family into turmoil and famine would actually be a child who had not grown up, and what made Hojo Shiyasu even more embarrassed was that he was bitten by her wrist.

The little girl who was carried by Ruodie had no clothes on her body, but simply wrapped it around her body with two kelps, which served as clothes, and two short dragon horns on her forehead, showing her identity as a monster. At this time, the little girl was glaring at Hojo Shiyasu with fierce eyes, as if he was some kind of bad person, and from time to time bared her teeth at him, and kept struggling. It's just that the back of this little girl's neck is firmly grasped by Ruodie, so that she can only stare at Hojo Shiyasu at this time, instead of pounce on him and bite him like before.

Deciding not to be like a child, Hojo Shiyasu turned to solemnly thank Ruodie: "Ruodie girl, thank you for subduing this little monster this time, otherwise, the people of Odawara Castle will really suffer." Hojo said, ignoring the pain in his wrist and bowing to Wakadie.

Seeing this, Ruodie waved her hand indifferently and said to Hojo Shiyasu: "Mr. Hojo is serious, it's just a trivial matter, and it doesn't deserve such a thank you. What's more, if Mr. wants to thank him, he should also go to Mrs. Xie, which is also Mrs. Kind-hearted and can't bear to see the people of Odawara Castle suffering. What's more, without Madame's order, the little girl doesn't want to embarrass such a little girl whose mind is not open. ”

Ruodie said, and looked down at the little girl who was caught by herself, the little girl with a pair of dragon horns didn't seem to speak, but kept glaring at Hojo Shiyasu, and bared her teeth like a fried kitten. But Ruodie can feel that this little girl does not have any concept of good and evil, just an ignorant little monster.

This made Ruodie, who is also a monster, feel some sympathy for this little girl in her heart, but after all, her behavior has affected the survival of the people around Odawara Castle, plus Nanami Hashimoto's order, Ruodie still grabbed her and prepared to hand her over to Nana Hashimoto to fall, but Ruodie has decided in her heart to intercede with Nanami Hashimoto for this little girl, so that she can be lightly dismissed.

Hojo looked at the little girl, and although he was angry at the effect on it, it was hard to believe that a child who could barely speak and knew what was going on made it hard to believe that she was doing these things out of malice. Hojo Shiyasu didn't want to be embarrassed by him, so he nodded and said, "Please rest assured, Miss Wakadie, when I return to Odawara Castle, I will express my gratitude to Mrs. Chiba." It's just that what is this little monster girl going to do? If you can, please don't embarrass her too much, she's still a child. ”

"For the fate of this little girl, I have to wait until I return to Odawara Castle, and ask Mrs. to come to the fate. But please rest assured that Mr. Hojo is kind-hearted and will not be too embarrassed by this little girl. While explaining to Hojo Shiyasu, Ruodie also asked him with some curiosity, "Why is Mr. Hojo unwilling to embarrass this little girl?" If it weren't for her, the Hojo family wouldn't have suffered heavy rain that lasted for a month during this time, so much so that it almost delayed the autumn harvest and almost caused a famine, didn't Mr. Hojo plan to punish her for this? ”

Hojo Shiyasu shook his head, sighed helplessly, looked at the little girl who was grabbed by Ruodie's neck, and saw that she was still baring her teeth at herself, so he said to Ruodie: "If this little monster already has a concept of right and wrong and understands personnel, even if this incident is just a naughty boy's nonsense, I will propose to Mrs. Chiba that she punish this little monster severely." But obviously this is still a child who doesn't understand anything, I'm afraid she doesn't know what kind of impact her behavior has caused until now, for such a child, we should first teach her to understand right and wrong, and punishing without teaching is not something my Hojo family will do. ”

Mr. Hojo was able to say that, and the little girl was relieved. Before, the little girl was still worried that Mr. Hojo would trouble this little girl because of the loss of the Hojo family and those sunken merchant ships during this time. Ruodie said as she looked at the little girl who was still ignorant and caught in her hand, and thanked Hojo Yasushi for bowing.

While the two were talking, the boat they were on slowly sailed back to the port of Joshita Town, Odawara Castle. Standing on the deck, Hojo Shiyasu couldn't help but look out onto the land, and was surprised to find that there was a group of people waiting for someone in the harbor, which made him a little surprised, and at the same time wondered who these people were waiting for.

However, when the ship sailed into the port, Hojo Shiyasu found that it was his father Hojo Tsunade and uncle Hojo Phantom and a group of retainers of the Hojo family waiting on the shore. This made Hojo Shiyasu feel happy and a little confused, wondering why his father and uncle and Nanami Hashimoto appeared in the port.

After the boat came to a stop, Hojo and Wakadie, who was carrying the little girl, got off the boat together, and after Hojo Yasu saluted Hojo Tsuna, he asked, "Father, why are you here?" ”

Hojo Shizuna's face was no longer as stern as usual, and he patted Hojo Shiyasu on the shoulder with some relief, and said to him: "I'm here to greet you, Shikang, you did a good job this time, you can go to the sea to subdue demons to solve this matter, you have courage and knowledge, and you really deserve to be the man of my Hojo family." ”

"Father, I praised it falsely, if it weren't for Mrs. Chiba reminding me that I was a monster this time, if Miss Butterfly surrendered to the monster, I would be helpless on my own, and my father would like to thank Mrs. Chiba and Miss Ruodie." Hearing his father's praise, this made Hojo Shiyasu a little flattered and a little shy, and hurriedly explained what happened to Hojo Shizuna.

While Hojo explained what had happened to his father and uncle, Nanami Hashimoto also stepped down from the ox cart and came to Wakadie's side with the help of Koju. Looking at the little girl who was grabbed by the back of the neck, Nana Hashimoto did not recognize from the horns on her head and her face, this little girl who was caught by Ruodie was the autumn rain pill five hundred years later.

And to the surprise of both Nanami Hashimoto and Ruodie, this little girl suddenly stopped struggling after seeing Nanami Hashimoto, and looked at Nanami Hashimoto in a bit of a daze, with a mist in her eyes, just like a child who ran away from home, suddenly saw her mother, shrugged her shoulders, as if she was about to cry.

This made Nana Hashimoto touch her little head lovingly, and asked softly, "Little girl, what's your name?" However, the little girl just shook her head and stretched out her hands to hug Nanami Hashimoto, but she could only stretch out her hands in vain because she was grabbed by the back of her neck.

Nana Hashimoto didn't signal Ruodie to let go of the little girl, let her hold her, and sobbed softly. Feeling the little girl's tears wet her clothes, Nana Hashimoto was slightly distressed, gently stroked her head and said, "Don't you have a name?" Shall I give you a name? You appeared in the autumn rain, so let's call it the autumn rain pill. ”
