Chapter 218: The Golden Gourd, and the Awakening

「Date(伊達)… Masamune(正宗)? Then, this person is…」(Touya)

「Our vassal, Katakura(片倉) Kojuurou(弧十郎) Kagetsuna(蔭綱)」(Masamune)

「Pleased to meet you」(Kojuurou)

Slit-eyed youth lowers his head As I thought, huh? When it comes to Date(伊達) Masaetsuna(景綱) They are an inseparable co ”… Do you mean to the castle in Osaka?」(Touya)

「Indeed That’s because I would “love” to go and see that Hideyoshi+-fellow at least once I’ourd” of his」(Masa sster Hethat sceneat the sa of obtaining that golden gourd and using it yourself, but it’s better to drop that idea」(Ieyasu)

「Nuh?! Why do you knohat’s inside hts have splendidly been shown on your face」(Kojuurou)

Kojuurou-san gives a warning to the faltering Masa the cat out of the bag”?

「I will say it in advance, but I will destroy the gourd depending on the situation It looks like a no good artifact at all」(Touya)

「Muu… Can’t be helped then It’s exactly as shi+rogane-dono has just said I guess I should abide by that decision」(Masarin broadly He’s a guy that shows everything on his face

「… You are thinking of swiping it just before he destroys it or soht?」(Ieyasu)

「Nuh?! Why do you knohat’s inside my mind?!」(Masamune)

「That’s why I’ve said it, Masa on your face」(Kojuurou)

This e as earlier I don’t think they are a bad people though If I’m not mistaken, it’s said that the Date Masah the point of those strategies being splendidly exposed is totally different

「However Ieyasu-san, is it really fine to take the feudal lord of Date right into the middle of the eneo with you is now a proble to do with us」(Ieyasu)

It seems Ieyasu-san doesn’t plan to interfere that much when it comes to him even if they’re allies, but I wonder whether their alliance with Date won’t be completely annulled should Masamune die by soo to Osaka castle I’et cocky and entrust the battle entirely to our guests」(Ieyasu)

Muu Certainly, I cannot just settle all of this by myself

「Then, can I ask you to encircle the Osaka castle and draw the attention of the soldiers away froap, and then leave the rest to Ieyasu-san and you guys My plan is so like this」(Touya)

「I don’t mind, but… there’s a considerable distance froane-dono, I’ve heard that you can use transferthis castle en of about 30,000 soldiers coawa and Date It will be a raid, so this ah

「However, will this civil war cale to deal with Hideyoshi+ in one way or another?」(Touya)

「Originally, the current situation has ended up this way due to Hashi+ba taking over the strife that Oda has started I think the fighting will end if we deal with Hashi+ba somehow…」(Ieyasu)

「However, the eovern this country Now then, on whose hands will the paper balloon of supremacy fall?」(Masamune)

Masa evil It’s a face saying that he’s certainly sche You won’t be able to cross over a sly old tanuki like Ieyasu-san with this

Now then, if I crush Hashi+ba who has absorbed Oda, Ieyasu-san will be the most powerful feudal lord if he moves properly

Hm? Huh? Then does that mean that the battle which is about to start is the battle of Sekigahara? However, does thisthe location? No, that happened after Hideyoshi+ died, and it’s winter now It will be spring soon though

Oh well, it’s no use thinking about it In any case, it will also be troublesome when Hideyoshi+ invades Yuuron after he unifies this country

-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-Scene Change-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-

「Is that Osaka castle…?」(Touya)

What’s with that!? Isn’t it sparking gold? The walls, the roof tiles, the stone walls, all of theolden color Doesn’t that make it a Kinkaku-ji? The shape is also different from the Osaka castle in my memories Just how ht flickers init

Is Hideyoshi+ in there? I’ve tried theshows up as expected Is there no choice but to go in and look for him?

Let’s transfer everyone that’s in here for now

The soldiers of the Tokugawa/Date allied force appear in all directions even further outside the olden castle in a circle

Before long, I could hear the sound of a tru beat of the war drums from somewhere The soldiers from all directions advance at the saht

The Osaka side doesn’t seeainst the sudden raid

「Alright, shall we invade the castle without delay?」(Touya)

「Heey… Osaka castle has a barrier applied, and you can’t enter it with transfer ht？In that case, how…don’t tell 」(Touya)

Yae showed frank unpleasant face to what I’ve said Do you really hate flying that nir], is on standby in the skies, but I think it’s faster to fly into the castle directly even if we can’t go inside it right away

(TLC: the raw says “Rosetta”, but it should be “Monica” Probably a typo on author)

「It’s fine to wait here if you want it though…」(Toyua)

「No, I will also go It’s my desire to share the same fate with my husband as your future wife」(Yae)

My future wife, having held both hands in front of her chest, thenin a way that looks like we’re going to die

「Shall we go then? Would Yae like to ride on Kohaku?」(Touya)

「Like this?」(Yae)

I cast [Levitation] on Yae who is riding Kohaku and raise theently, I start flying to the Osaka castle with [Fly] without stopping Of course, I hide our figures with [Invisible] so that we also won’t be shot by arrows
