[Comprehensive] Comb girl

Yizheng left to practice, and since then, there has been no news.

Ah Ding would often ask Sanriyue and Hasebe: "Did you come back from the first issue of Yizhen?"

However, the answer was "no".Sometimes, San Riyue would say helplessly: "Even if the letter comes, the lord may not understand it."

One sentence made Ah Ding dissatisfied.

She also knows a little bit! !

As for the pressing and cutting Hasebe, he doesn't care about these things—he is a bit greedy, and only hopes that the master will always watch him.Therefore, he only cared about expelling the people around the lord.

"I'm the valet."

"Master, you must not leave my sight."

"Please let me protect you all the time."

This kind of ubiquitous, almost fanatical gaze makes people feel a little bit hard to breathe.Even if Ah Ding wanted to escape, it would be a waste of effort.The only time to relax is when Sanriyue teaches her knowledge.

Hasebe will retreat only when Sanriyue is around.Every day, she waited for Sanriyue to come over, even if Sanriyue smashed herself to death with those thick history books or nonsense picture books, it didn't matter.

On this day, Sanriyue's teaching time also ended amidst her worries.The "General", "Renovation" and "Old Middle School" filled her mind and she couldn't digest it, so she had to face a new trouble - it seemed that Hasebe was already waiting outside.

"... Sanriyue Palace!" Ah Ding grabbed Sanriyue's cuff and whispered, "Can you please stay a little longer?"

"Master, I still have other things to do." San Riyue patted her head with a smile and turned around.

The moment she tugged her sleeves, she seemed to bump into something.The moment Sanriyue stepped out of the door, a letter floated down.The envelope was very thin, and Sanriyue didn't hear the sound of it falling.

Ah Ding had sharp eyes, and immediately discovered that the name of Yiqi Yizhen was written on the envelope.

This is a letter sent to the lord by Yizheng during the practice.

...However, she was hidden in the sleeve of Sanriyue and never saw the sun.

Ah Ding's hands trembled slightly.

She couldn't help but picked up the letter and quietly tore it open.

Perhaps to take care of her, who is not very literate, the words used in Yiqi Yizhen are very simple, even she can easily understand them.In general, it is——

"As you said in the previous letters, I will go to Osaka Castle. Perhaps, I will witness the fire. I have gained a wealth of combat experience from fighting the retrograde army. I am sure that I will soon be able to protect the You..."

Ah Ding lowered his head, his chest heaved slightly, as if all his strength had been exhausted.

I have written many letters to her, but she has not received any of them.The other letters should all be with Sanriyue, maybe she will never see them again in her lifetime.

A strong unwillingness welled up from the bottom of my heart.

Can't be a servant...

Can't even send the letter to her?

She doesn't want to.

In the heart that had always been obedient, the idea of ​​resistance suddenly appeared.Or rather——this idea of ​​rebellion existed in her mind in the dark night from the very beginning.It's just that the two are now fused, and she has two personalities at the same time.

At this moment, she actually just wanted to run away without hesitation——

I want to see an episode.

want to……

Want to meet that person.

Gentle……

that person.

So, she made this rebellious decision.

It is impossible to leave Honmaru with her own strength, she can only seek help from others.Among Honmaru, there are very few people she can trust.She searched and searched, but she could only find Qingguang, Yamato Shuan, and Yamaba Kiri Kunihiro.

"It's not impossible for the master to leave Honmaru. But it will definitely be difficult."

"If we only rely on our protection... there should be no problem."

"Well, since that's the case, three days later... Shhh, Hasebe is here."

The meeting of four people ended hastily.

……

Everything is going on in secret.Finally, when the appointed day came, Ah Ding sneaked out in the middle of the night as promised.The courtyard was pitch-dark, with no lights, shadows or water.

"Master, are you ready?" California Qingguang asked.

"...It's ready!" She replied loudly.

Yamato Shou'an stood in the shadows, bowing his head in silence.After a long while, he suddenly said: "My lord is going to a place like Osaka...do you want to meet Yiqi Yizhen secretly?"

Ah Ding took a breath, nodded and said, "Yes."

Yamato Moran's eyes drooped down.

"Yiqi Yizhen is a sword forged by the Lord himself, right?"

"……Yes."

"..."

After a long silence, Yamato Shou Anding showed a bright smile: "My lord, I will protect you." The brisk tone was the same as before.

California Qingguang twitched the corners of his mouth and said: "Yamato keeps the peace, there is nothing to worry about. The safety of the lord is the first. Are you ready? I am not very good at traveling through time and space with the power of Fusangshen... I'm not good at this!"

The light gradually surged.

The white light traveling through time and space poured over the sky and covered the sky.After a burst of dazzling whiteness, Ah Ding opened his eyes again.

It was quiet all around, it was a quiet night.A few willows hang down their branches, swaying silently in the night wind.Behind her there is no California Qingguang, nor Yamato Shuan Ding and Yamaba Kiri Kunihiro.

--Oops!

Reminiscent of the phrase "I'm not good at this" that California Qingguang said, A Ding suddenly became a little apprehensive.

Is it because the strength is not enough, so everyone separated?

Will they be able to go back to Honmaru?

She looked around where no one was around, and called out the names of the Fusangshen.The ending of no response confirmed her inner guess more and more.She suddenly realized one thing: In Osaka, there was no one to protect her.

All she can rely on is herself.

There is no false identity, no money and relatives, and no mourning.

Here, she wants to rely on her own strength to find a life that she doesn't know where she is.

...Ah, it is very difficult to think about it.

She raised her head and stared at the Osaka Castle in the night——

Jincheng, also known as Jincheng, was originally built by Toyotomi Hideyoshi. It is a famous city that is easy to defend but difficult to attack.And now the lord of Osaka Castle should be Hideyoshi's heir, Toyotomi Hideyori.

Ah Ding took a breath and stepped into the night.
