The wine has passed three rounds, and the dishes have passed five flavors.

After Oda Keiji found an excuse to support Chizuru, he said to Dylan: "I can't hide it, the old man invited His Royal Highness to the banquet today, and he really asked for something." ”

"Oh!"

Dylan glanced up at him: "The head of the Oda family might as well say it directly, as long as this seat can help, he will never refuse." ”

After receiving the reply, Oda Keiji first smiled politely, and then said, "The old man intends to let Chizuru go to Ise with His Highness and be a waiter in front of the gods. I don't know what His Highness thinks. ”

Dylan asked, "Why did the head of the Oda family say this? Chizuru is the princess of Shima, and her status is so noble. It would be too condescending to let her be a witch in my small town. At this, Dylan paused.

"Haha!"

Oda Keiji smiled bitterly twice and said, "Your Highness doesn't know anything, I'm afraid the old man is running out of time." ”

Hearing his words, Dylan had the same doubts on his face and in his heart.

He thought to himself, "What does old ghost Oda mean?" It's understandable that he wants to put Chizuru next to me, but why would he use his own life and death as a reason. According to his physical condition, he can live for at least ten or twenty more years, can it be said that ······ He intended to fake his death. ”

Seeing the confusion on Dylan's face, Oda Keiji sighed deeply, and then explained: "Sixteen years ago, the Kitada family was a double star. Yasu-sama and Tsubaki-sama compete for the position of head of the family. At that time, the old man fell to the side of the powerful Tsubaki-sama, and offended Yasu-sama a lot. Who would have thought that after 16 years, the strength and weakness will turn around. Tsubaki-sama unfortunately died, and the position of head of the family is already in the pocket of Yasu-sama. ”

"You mean, Kitada Yasuo is going to do something to you?" Dylan asked casually.

Oda Keiji glanced at Dylan and nodded helplessly: "This year, the plague broke out in Shima, and there is not one in ten people. Although the old man set up a blockade order, he could only hide it for a while. When the Heavenly Dao Kaiyuan is opened, the Kitada family will send people to come as usual. When the time comes, Lord Kang Sheng will definitely take the opportunity to make trouble. Taking advantage of the great reduction in the strength of my Oda family, I removed the position of the lord of the old man. At that time, the old man's life may not be guaranteed. ”

The old man originally thought that he would marry Chizuru to the governor of the Kitada family, and then Kitada Kangsheng would naturally not be able to attack his own family. But when I think about it recently, I really can't bear to ruin Chizuru's life. Therefore, the old man planned to resist the guilt. ”

"The old man has already asked Long Ichiro to prepare, and when the old man has destroyed the UFO, Long Ichiro and Ya will also take Cheng Zhou to my teacher, the Nara River Sword Master. If the teacher looks at me, he will definitely take care of it. ”

Dylan casually asked, "Why don't you bring Chizuru with you?"

"The teacher practiced swordsmanship and made many rules, one of which was that no women were allowed to appear in the dojo. ”

Speaking of this, Oda Keiji said to Dylan: "If Your Highness is willing to help, the old man is willing to use the demon sword Aragon as a thank you gift." ”

"Demon Knife Desolation!"

Hearing Oda Keiji say that he wanted to use this knife as a thank you gift, Dylan's eyes suddenly lit up.

Originally, Dylan had planned to take Chizuru to Ise, but he didn't have time to say it yet. Fortunately, Oda Keiji not only took the initiative to let Dylan take the person away, but also gave him a demon knife. Of course, this kind of good thing cannot be refused.

Dylan cleared his throat and said in a big way: "Please rest assured, Master Oda, Chizuru will be handed over to me." I can guarantee that Yasuo Kitada will definitely not mess around in Ise. ”

Hearing Dylan's reply, Oda Keiji smiled happily: "Your Highness is really kind-hearted, and the old man is here to toast His Highness for a drink." ”

With that, the two continued to drink until midnight.

The banquet ended, and not long after Dylan returned to the room, Chizuru arrived.

Dylan listened carefully to his surroundings and confirmed that there was no one else within a radius of several hundred meters. Then he asked Chizuru, "Oda Keiji invited me to drink today, and the purpose is to send you to my Ise Castle." For this reason, he did not hesitate to take a demon knife. When such a good thing fell on me, I always felt that he had other purposes. ”

Chizuru was injured in her body, and she spent another night drinking, and her face looked a little haggard.

Hearing Dylan's suspicion of Oda's intentions, she said softly, "He said that he wanted me to be around you to find out the secret that you can manipulate people's hearts." But I don't think it's necessarily that simple. ”

Dylan's face was cloudy, and he hesitated for a long time before he spoke, "Since he said he was going to send you to Ise, I will accept it happily." But... In order to avoid being discovered by him, you should not come over during this time. ”

"Whatever he thinks, we ······. ”

············

Five days have passed in a blink of an eye, and today is the day Dylan returns to Ise.

Today's entourage, in addition to the original team brought by Dylan, there is also the entourage of Keiji Oda and Miss Chizuru. In the team, in addition to the ten maids such as Ren and Tamaya, there were also members of the Oda family, as well as twenty-four female samurai led by Samika who were responsible for protecting the inner courtyard.

At this time, Samika wears a bright red armor and waits for Dylan and Chizuru to arrive. And beside her, the Oda family's swordsmanship teacher "Nanosuke Ogawa" is reluctantly saying goodbye to her.

"Shima is so close to Ise, and with so many samurai to protect him, the road must be safe. But you're going to have to go back quickly!"

Sitting on the back of the horse with a spear in his hand, Samika replied nonchalantly: "There is Lao Jinchuan Teacher Bothered, and Samika is grateful." ”

Seeing that Samika's answer was so cold, Nanosuke Ogawa rode around her a few times and said, "Actually····· It's okay if you don't go. Or, let me go with you. ”

Sawika turned her head and glanced at him: "Omaka Teacher's kindness, Sawika understands it." Still, you have a job to do. It is your duty to teach your children to practice swordsmanship... Isn't it. ”

At this point, he ignored Ninosuke Ogawa, and shouted to the female warriors behind him who were busy packing up, "Hurry up! ”

The warriors were busy for a while more before all the supplies and horses were in place. And Chizuru and Dylan, who kept them waiting, also walked out of the gate accompanied by Keiji Oda and Ryichiro Masaya.

Keiji Oda stood in front of the gate and said to Ryuichiro, "Ryuichiro! When the old man finishes dealing with the UFO, he will be back soon. ”

Ryuichiro replied, "Don't worry, Father-in-law, when you return from Ise, the house will be as it is." ”

"Okay!" Keiji Oda turned to Dylan and said, "Then let's go!"

Dylan nodded, turned to his horse, and set off in the direction of Ise.

And the only one left outside the gate was Ninosuke Ogawa, who was still looking at their distant backs in a daze. It wasn't until a long time that he sighed and returned to the house.
