Ashikaga Yoshiki seemed to be recalling something, his expression became softer.

"I have to practice sword skills hard, and only this sword skill is the most reliable.

I kept telling myself.

Only after practicing the sword can I protect Ashikaga's family, protect my father, and protect Hirojun, so it doesn't matter whether I like it or not."

Seeing Yukino Takada standing beside him and stop practicing swords, Ashikaga Yoshihiro shook his head and said.

"What do I do when I tell you this? Really, what do you know, you are a sage."

Who knew that Yukino Takada answered seriously.

“I understand.

At the beginning, I couldn't help the boss with anything, and I was beaten seriously injured and almost became disabled.

I was lying on the bed and the Lord told me stories. I was very happy and scared. I knew that the Lord would not abandon me, but I didn’t want to drag him down. I wanted to become stronger and it would be useful to him.

So I tried my best to practice swords and didn’t dare not practice. Because I can’t do anything except draw the sword.”

Ashikaga Yoshihiro looked at the cold-faced doll in surprise and said a long story. This guy was a wooden man who couldn't beat a p with three sticks. Today, he said so much.

Her heart warmed up. Is she caring about me? Is she comforting me? Ashikaga Yoshihiro curled her lips with a proud look.

I am General Ashikaga, but I have fallen to being comforted by a fool. Isn’t it too much?

But at this moment, her feelings were not bad, but she said with a smile.

"Qian Xingong really spoiled you, and he would tell you stories? What stories do you tell you?"

Yukino Takada thought for a while and said.

"It sounds so nice, I'm fascinated by it. But I'm too stupid to remember too much."

Ashikaga Yoshiki couldn't help laughing, and the flowers were shaking. Takada Yukino looked at the general who seemed very happy inexplicably, not understanding why.

Ashikaga Yoshiki smiled weakly, so he simply sat on the tatami in the sword room, completely putting down the general's majesty.

She said with a smile.

"Don't tell me everything, I'm just curious, let me hear about it."

Yukino Takada knelt down and recalled it seriously, saying.

"There is a story about Prince Snow White being snatched away by Princess White Horse, and the seven little dwarfs worked together to snatch Prince Snow White back."

Ashikaga Yoshihiro shook his head and sneered at his nose.

"Since ancient times, the right way is to be with a prince and a princess. What kind of short guy can be taken back? Qian Xin Gong is also making a fool of himself."

Takada Yukino said with a pout.

"But the Lord clearly said that the seven little dwarfs lived a happy life with the Snow Prince."

Ashikaga Yoshiki smiled so hard that tears came out, and she leaned forward and backward, and finally she said seriously to Yukino.

“That’s all lie.

When a prince and princess are born into nobles and enjoy the worship of the people, they must bear their own responsibilities and obligations. There is no food in the world, and all the gifts have long been priced by fate.

I tell you that there are no princes and princesses who can live happily. They will not be happy, I will not be happy, nor will your head of your family."

Hearing Ashikaga Yoshiki's words, Yukino Takada's eyes were wide open and wide. His eyes were round, his eyes were much darker, and his eyes were very white. There seemed to be stars in his black pupils, which were very beautiful.

She said seriously.

"The Lord will definitely be happy, and I will not allow him to be unhappy. I will protect him and protect his happiness."

Faced with Takada Yukino's rebuttal, Ashikaga Yoshihiro was stunned on the spot. Then he felt sad and couldn't help laughing to the sky, but tears couldn't help but slip from the corners of his eyes and were quietly wiped away by her.

She took a deep breath, calmed down her mind, and finally looked at Takada Yukino and spoke out jealously.

"Silly little fool."

She stood up, patted the corner of her wrinkled clothes, and continued.

"I will stay in Nijo Castle tomorrow and will not come back for a while. Please take care of yourself."

Yukino Takada stood up and said.

"I'll go, too."

Ashikaga Yoshihiro looked back at her in surprise.

"What are you going to do?"

“The Lord let me protect you.”

Ashikaga Yoshihide couldn't help but say another sentence.

"What a fool."

She said it badly, but she felt more and more pleasing to Yukino Takada in her heart.

After more than a year of getting along with each other, Kenno-ku's entrustment made Takada Yukino, a unique swordsman who simply and does not understand shogunate politics, pay more attention and love.

"Then let's go together. In my spare time, I will accompany me to practice swords."

Takada Yukino emphasized dissatisfiedly.

“The Lord let me protect you.”

Ashikaga Yoshihiro said disdainfully.

"You protect me? That's the excuse of Mr. Qian Xin to let you follow me so that you will not be bullied by others in the imperial court.

If someone really wants to kill me, is the shogunate still there? Am I still aka Ashikaga? How can you protect me by then?

Remember, I am protecting you, not you protecting me."

Ashikaga Yoshihiro said for a long time, but Takada Yukino still said coldly.

“The Lord let me protect you.”

Ashikaga Yoshiki almost choked himself in one breath. What's the reason for this Muyu head to her?

She rolled her eyes and nodded.

"Yes, you protect me, okay?"

Only then did Yukino Takada shut up with satisfaction and continued to practice his sword drawing technique.

Ashikaga Yoshihiro looked at her practicing sword helplessly and found that he had no choice but to use the wood.

Then, she suddenly realized that her mood seemed to be getting better. Looking at Takada Yukino's side face as she was practicing sword seriously, she couldn't help but smile.

———

Before the summer heat was over, General Ashikaga moved to Nijo Castle with a few followers of the Shimamoto, supervising Ninagawa's father-in-law, and was called Nijo Imperial Office.

Before the summer harvest was finished, Kawada Nagaki of Sakado Castle personally led fifty Himeji warriors to attack Yoshida Castle and seized the bridgehead to enter Ueno Kunnumata County.

The Numada retainer group was shocked. The Hojo Miniang who had just arrived had not inherited the Numada Seedling, and her family was already in chaos.

The Hojo envoy tried to confuse the Masada family and resisted desperately, but the Hojo family's troops were slow to move, which triggered a rebound within the Masada family and the Homotaichi faction.

At this time, the summer harvests in various places ended one after another, and Echizen mobilized peasants and soldiers to transport them, and subsequent people arrived at Yoshida Castle one after another.

Kawada Nagaki, who was ready to go, sent troops to famous Hutao Castle again. The Numata family was quarreled, but no one went to save them.

Sanada Nobuhima from Takayama Village in Myoshi County led the army to respond, and the north and south armies besieged Minghu City. People in Minghu City were panic, and Numada Nitae personally persuaded him, and the defenders surrendered without fighting.

Naruta Castle never expected that the mountain stronghold of the famous Hutao Castle was taken down in just a few days.

Kawada Nagaki and Sanada Nobuhisa joined forces and quickly went south to Numata Castle, blocking the quarreling important officials of the Numata family and Hojo Miniang in the city.

There was a disagreement within the Numata family, and outside there was the expelled former family, Masata, who was persuaded to surrender, and the bloodless warriors were forced to open the city and surrender.

The Numata retainers surrendered, but the locals had no intention of resisting and made an appointment. They sent troops from Kawada to take over the famous Hutao Castle in four days, and the Numata Castle in nine days, and all got the Numata leader.

The powerful appearance of Echigo's army instantly shocked the Ueno family.
