Sawada Ieyasu 6

My father told me that Mr. Eiichiro of the Shimonoya family would come to Edo himself in a few days.It is here to discuss the marriage of the two families.Even though his father had already rejected it, Shimonoya did not seem to give up on the proposal.As Mr. Uzuki said, Mr. Eiichiro is a person who will not give up until he reaches his goal.

People who are stubborn have always been difficult to deal with.

So I have been feeling flustered and flustered for the past few days, and even the quality of sleep has declined.I can't predict a person's actions after all, and honestly, because of things like this, I started to feel ashamed of myself for thinking Mr. Eiichiro was reliable.

Another thing that disturbed me when I first arrived was the monsters called "Retrograde Time Army" that appeared before, and they have not appeared in my life since that day.I should be happy about this, but for this unknown enemy, I have similar feelings to the above.

I really hope that boy named Horikawa Kunihiro will tell me soon that those monsters have been wiped out.However, after waiting for many days without news, I no longer had any hope.

Sure enough, you can't force young people too much.

In fact, I also asked Mr. Sakata about the identities of the boys—after all, the boys only explained that they were from the future government army.But Mr. Sakata didn't talk to me too much about it.Just let me trust them.

For this, I trust Mr. Sakata.

Perhaps their identities cannot be explained to outsiders.

But while life may seem peaceful on the surface, I swear by my keen instincts.Something seemed to be staring at me.But since these gazes were not malicious, I ignored them.It was only mentioned in a conversation with Mr. Ieyasu.The strange thing is that after that conversation, these gazes disappeared, or reduced the sense of presence, almost disappearing.

I teased him with this matter, "If Mr. Ieyasu hadn't been an upright person, I would have thought it was arranged by you."

First of all, let me say that this is not my unreasonable guess.After all, the time relationship before and after is too coincidental.I'm just making a reasonable guess on that basis.Besides, even if it is my guess, I don't think that Mr. Ieyasu will do such a depreciating thing.

Mr. Ieyasu thought for a while, then he looked into my eyes with a smile.

"Miss is so relieved of me."

"???"

Mr. Ieyasu said: "If it were me, I don't think you would find out."

I:……

...... lol

What an amazing speech!

But even so, I sat calmly on the tatami.

"Speaking of which, when the lady raised her eyes, I thought, it would be nice if I just left with you."

Ieyasu-san said complicated things in a relaxed tone.

Why can you say such shameful things as if nothing happened?

"I didn't look at you."

"I know."

He smiled at me, his gentle eyes really didn't look like someone who would say such words.

"I came to Japan, to some extent, it was an escape. Even though I was depressed, there was nothing I could do. Do you know that when my ideas are no longer suitable for the development of this era, I can only be abandoned."

He looked at the pond in the courtyard. Flower buds had sprouted among the lotus leaves in the pond. In time, beautiful flowers would bloom, and everything seemed to be moving in a good direction.

"However, now I think it might be a good decision to come to Japan. Everything will be fine."

Mr. Ieyasu's tone sounded relieved.I hesitated and asked, "Did something bad happen in your hometown? Ah, sorry, if I don't want to say..."

"No, if it's Miss who wants to know, I don't think there is anything to be afraid of."

Mr. Ieyasu interrupted me.

Then he was silent for a while, remembering the past like a penitent sinner.

"Because of my problem, my friend has suffered irreparable damage..."

He lowered his head, I couldn't see the expression in his eyes clearly, it must be remorse too.

irreparable damage...

"The division of the family was born because of this. I really was too naive... Although I think my idea is not wrong, but the consequences of the method of implementation, even I have never thought of it..."

"What is your philosophy?"

"Peace."

"...great. But a long way to go."

"..."

Mr. Ieyasu looked even more depressed.His eyes, as clear as the sky, were filled with sorrow.

I subconsciously covered his eyes, and the trembling of the eyelashes from my palm made my hand feel a little itchy and warm.

"Do you regret it?" I asked him softly.

"..."

He opened his mouth slightly, but did not answer.

I don't know what is going on in his mind.But if it were me, it would probably be... No, I will not allow any hidden danger to exist around me.

Even if I don't know the plan implemented by Mr. Ieyasu for his idea, the idea of ​​"peace" as the goal was very common in Italy in the nineteenth century.Of course this is for ordinary people.For those who make war money, it is naturally another way of saying it.

In a country that is torn apart, various forces emerge as the times require, and what they rely on is the strength in their hands.But it is precisely because of the strength of the troops that the country is in turmoil.So Mr. Ieyasu for the concept of "peace".The plan implemented is probably...

I withdrew my hand and sighed.

"...So, have you reduced your troops?"

The orange-gold eyes were full of shock.

I smiled, "Like something you would do..."

After pouring two glasses of water, one was slowly pushed in front of him, and one was picked up by himself and took a sip.

"How should I put it, if it were me, I wouldn't reduce my hole cards in such a bad age."

"Peace" is a great idea, but it is too difficult to actually achieve "peace".Even in modern society.There is always one reason or another that can be used as a reason to go to war.Anyone who "teaches a famous teacher" will do.

To be reasonable, it is still only "the strong have the right to speak." This is a truth that has not changed since ancient times.

Of course, I am not qualified to point out that Mr. Ieyasu has done something wrong.On the contrary, I think it is very difficult to make such an awareness in this age.

After all, most forces want more power, not "peace" in the country.

"I think you are very powerful."

I looked at the tea stem standing up in the teacup, and raised my eyes, "Ah, something good will happen."

But I thought about it again, as long as those two things are not resolved, I probably have nothing to do with good things.

***

I knew Mr. Eiichiro would come to Edo, but I didn't expect him to come so soon.

I was checking the ledger when a run-up came to tell me.I froze for a moment, and said to Mr. Ieyasu who was doing the settlement, "I'll come as soon as I go."

Afterwards, he gave the account book to Mr. Ieyasu, and followed Youzhu to the Japanese room where the guests were received.

When I arrived, my grandmother and father were already sitting.I was sitting lightly on the mat, and when my buttocks were pressing on my feet, Mr. Eiichiro saluted me the most.

"Please marry your daughter to me."

The atmosphere in the Japanese room was slightly silent.

After a while, my father said: "I think I have made this very clear in your residence."

"please."

Father helplessly: "You get up first."

But Eiichiro remained indifferent.

At this time, the grandmother said: "Ning Ning of the Sawada family will inherit the business of the Sawada family in the future, so she must not marry. If Mr. Eiichiro is willing to marry, maybe you can consider it."

My father and I looked at grandma in surprise.

Mr. Eiichiro was silent for a while, he straightened up and said, "I would like the eldest son to inherit the surname of the Sawada family."

really……

The grandmother sighed, and the father sighed too.

I thought for a while and asked, "Why did you ask to marry me?"

Eiichiro said, "I like you."

I:……

"What did you think when the two families wanted me to marry Mr. Shinichiro?"

"I……"

While he was in a daze, I lowered my head slightly and said, "I'm really sorry, I already have someone I like in my heart. And the other person is also willing to join the Sawada family."

Of course he lied to him.

Eiichiro frowned, "Miss Ningning is referring to Shinichiro's friend, the foreigner?"

"Eh?"

I looked at him in surprise, wondering why he would say that.And I don't know why he pointed to Shinichiro's foreign friends.

"To be honest, Shinichiro mentioned this to me. He wanted me to give up."

In Eiichiro's eyes, there seemed to be resentment at being betrayed by his brother.

"But you..."

"I don't think I will lose to an unidentified foreigner."

Eiichiro looked at me seriously.

I feel so tired, the problem is not identity...

"Why do you think it's status... I really don't have any other thoughts about you than business partners."

I also looked at him seriously.

Wait, our family doesn't seem to have any business dealings with the Shimoya family...

Anyway, when I checked the account book, I didn't see the Shimoya house.

"If Ningning is talking about Mr. Ieyasu, it's not impossible."

When Eiichiro and I were in a stalemate, my father spoke up.

He pondered and said: "Anyway, he has no relatives in Japan, so he is very suitable as the son-in-law of the Sawada family."

I:……

I'm flustered when you say that...

I just made a random nonsense about someone, how can you name them by name?

"Do you really think so?"

Eiichiro seemed unwilling to give up, "That is an unknown person! Maybe he came to Japan because he couldn't live abroad? Or maybe he has an unimaginable identity abroad? If in the future, If there are enemies chasing and killing..."

"Please stop saying that."

I straightened my face, "I don't think Mr. Eiichiro is a person who would speak ill of others behind his back."

Bai Qi Eiichiro paused, he took a deep breath, and when he was about to say something more, Mr. Ieyasu appeared.

"I'm sorry, because I have questions about the account book, so I came to ask the lady for advice. I accidentally heard some."

Mr. Ieyasu said apologetically.

"Ledger?"

Eiichiro frowned deeply.

"That's right." Mr. Ieyasu smiled shyly, "I guess I sold myself to the Sawada family."

I:……

"What you said is not unreasonable. I really came to Japan as a last resort, and I do have an unknown identity in my hometown. But no matter what kind of person I am, I will not use a strong posture to force Miss. "

Eiichiro was stunned.

"Of course, if Miss also thinks that I am a very suitable person to be a husband-in-law, that is my honor. I am willing to share the distress of marriage for Miss."

Mr. Ieyasu smiled at me holding the ledger.

"After all, the three encounters with Miss, my heart has been telling me that I want to go home with her."

I:……
