However, Ujimoto and Sadayuki, who were standing behind him, pulled their sleeves from the left and right and began to speak. "I would like to say to Anzai-sama. You say genkatsugi, but nothing beats a fisherman when it comes to catching fish by tilting a pole and getting on a boat and dropping a hook. This is not what a samurai should do. It's an unsuitable act. If our master is ashamed, we have to prevent it with our lives. Therefore, please take our heads as an offering."
Kagetsura glared at Ujimoto and the others without letting them say that to the end. "You guys are very rude. How could your subordinates deny the decision that their master, Yoshizane, had once consented to? The crime of committing my military orders as a servant is by no means light. Take them out and kill them." When Ujimoto and Sadayuki tried to retaliate further, Yoshizane scolded them severely and forced them to retreat.
After apologizing for them, Kagetsura finally calmed down, "Then I will leave them to you until they see the carp. You will catch the carp yourself and bring it back to us. The deadline is within three days. After that period, it will not be a problem for them alone. yo, remember Yoshizane replied firmly to the strong tone, "Then I will take you to the inn here." And hastened the two unconvinced servants to leave.
Maro, who was eavesdropping in the next room, opened the shoji screen and approached Anzai with a smile on his face. "Mr. Anzai is kind. Why didn't you take the lives of Satomi's servants and let them go home? I thought I was going to kill Yoshizane so much, but Mr. Anzai became a shield. Didn't you miss the fish in the Kagetsura heard that and smiled, "I also had this intention from the beginning, but Yoshizane was the son of a distinguished family and although he was a young man, he was a very sharp person. Also, regarding the talent of the servant, he was very good at martial arts. It looked like it.
continue, “Even rats will bite cats if they are cornered. If a monarch who saves people in trouble and leaves them to die, the evacuation of the people will become even stronger, and our position will become even more dangerous. On the other hand, leaving Yoshizane here would be like letting a wild beast run free, and I would not be able to sleep peacefully. For that reason, they sought offerings for the festival, but they prepared a trap there.It is strange that carp do not exist in this country of Awa.However, they do not know that, and they search for carp with all their might. If they come back empty-handed, I can execute them head-on.This way, I won't have to say that I cut Satomi out of personal feelings.I'm just going to save them. I don't think so." explained proudly.
Maro clapped his hands and laughed, "That's a pretty good strategy. Certainly, if someone unskilledly attacks them and let them escape, and if Yoshimi comes under Yamashita's control in Takita, it's like giving wings to a tiger. It's a good strategy to let him swim and kill him later." and praised Anzai.
At that time, Yoshizane was hurrying to the inn in Shirahama. However, the road was long, and the sun had set before I even got home. When Yoshizane returned to Shirahama in the early hours of the morning, he had not slept and started preparing for fishing. However, Ujimoto and Sadayuki seem dissatisfied, "Don't you realize it yet? Nobutoki is just a quick-tempered samurai, and Keitsura is a jealous person who is very afraid of your talent. And the eyes that look at us are like enemies. What is the use of catching carp for such a cruel person? We should move to Kazusa and avoid them.” said in unison.
But Yoshizane shook his head, "No, you guys are wrong. It's true that Maro and Anzai's personalities are profit-seeking and have a weak sense of justice. Words and actions are separate. I don't think I'll even try to subjugate Takita, but even if I avoid this place and go to Kazusa, if it's the same there, it's enemy territory all the way. It's too late when he's gone.A wise man who will be remembered for a long time can enjoy both idle and busy times.Taikoubo didn't become known to the public until he was nearly 70. He was a mountain fisherman. While he was still in his throne, he met King Wen, and as a result of his great achievement in defeating King Lao, he was given the kingdom of Qi, and his descendants prospered."
continue, "Even Taikoubo is like this. I am a person who has lost both time and momentum. I am not in a position to dislike fishing. Besides, carp are auspicious fish. According to legend, Annan Longmen Waterfall on the Yellow River. It is said that a carp that migrates upstream changes into a dragon.I saw the tail of a dragon in Miura, and now when I came to Shirahama, I was told to catch a carp.This is my chance. If I have any prey, I will bring it back and see what Anzai does.I will go out when the sun rises. Ujimoto and Sadayuki were so moved by the story that they prepared fishing hooks and rods and tied food around their waists. Then the three of them left, and dawn dawned.
