362 Kojiro as a mother (1/2)
It's been a while since Kojiro left to make an eel bowl. Inside the room, there was quiet air with no rubbing.
I knew that Kojiro had quit. But that's what I've been talking about every day in recent years.
In the mouth, while saying that it was troublesome, he was working as a swordsman while being beaten by his sister Kaede and his mother Sakuraka.
While giving out lazy words almost every day, he does his job properly and leads to a solution without any refusal if he depends on his subordinates.
Although the behavior of the swordsman is conspicuous, his ability as a swordsman is second only to me, and the character is impeccable.
I gave the sword to Kojiro, saying that it would be troublesome, but he would protect the country and train Shuichi well. I was so convinced.
Not only me but anyone who works in the castle would have thought so.
If Kojiro is troublesome or wants to quit, he will fulfill his role.
But what does this mean today? He has negotiated not only with Shuichi's escort, but also with his swordsman.
In the beginning, I had a fight with Kinugasa and Kaede, and those words would just have come out of my mouth.
I thought so, but Kojiro came to this room with a serious expression and said he wanted to make a una bowl and open a shop.
Eyes with the will to burn calmly, not the dead eyes as before.
In Kojiro's eyes, I realized that it was not a momentum due to emotions or conflicts, but a decision made from my heart.
Nevertheless, the Inaba family was a family that served the shogun family for generations. No matter how general I am, it is not so easy to nod. And I'm sorry to lose Kojiro and I don't want to let go.
I rushed to call on Sakuraka to try to persuade him.
Even if Kojiro is persuaded by Sakuraka who is not good at thinking, he must change his mind.
And, as usual, she is preached by Sakuraka and returns to her job as a swordsman.
I thought so, but perhaps Sakuraka made such a proposal.
”Okay, let's do this. If Kojiro says that he and I can be recognized in eel dishes, we'll allow him to quit the swordsman.”
While not affirmatively affirmed, the word clearly has Kojiro's shoulders.
In the past, Sakuraka, who was once called the demon and was afraid, would never say something like this.
I had a long relationship with her, but I didn't know what it meant.
I was screaming and beating Kojiro, but I thought I would oppose it, but it was unexpected.
I can't read Sakuraka's thoughts.
Cough and ask to get rid of the calm air.
”Oh, why did you make such a proposal?”
”I've always been in touch with my son, the Inaba family who serves the shoguns. To give them enough strength to support them, and not to be licked because they're just ordinary children like me ... ”
The Inaba family has been marrying between noble families because of the importance of their bloodlines for generations.
However, Sakuraka is a commoner who has been built up from the battlefield with a single sword. Normally, you can't enter the Inaba family. When he married, he was quite confused.
As a result, Sakuraka and his late husband, Genichiro, were convinced that they would be prepared and show their martial arts, but they still had a strong hit among the family.
