What made you have the illusion that I am the protagonist! ?

After a while, Toya Ishitani washed off the dust from his long journey, changed into a home kimono, and lazily leaned on the tatami mat to watch the sunset in the courtyard.

As a heroic spirit, Diarmuid does not need to take a bath, and has been waiting here for a long time.

During this period of time, he finally understood the identity and background of his master.

Ishitani's family tree can be traced back to the Muromachi period. Of course, they didn't have this surname at that time.

According to legend, they are descendants of the Owari Oda clan, because after the famous Oda Nobunaga was defeated in the Honnoji Temple, some of the Oda clan's descendants left the family and wandered here, and finally changed their names and surnames and became the feudal lords of the Kamigawa area. The daimyo also escaped many wars because of its remote location.

After the changes of the times, the Ishitani family is no longer the lord of the feudal lord, and its power has also shrunk after many political changes. However, after hundreds of years of family wealth, it is still the big landlord in Hyogo Prefecture. It doesn’t matter how far away it is. Kamikawa Town, the base camp, directly controls more than [-]% of the land in the Ishitani family. If you count the divisions, at least one-third of Kamikawa Town has the surname "Ishitani". It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the emperor of the land here. .

As soon as Dongmi and Diarmuid appeared within the sphere of influence of the Shigu Clan, the main family received a notification, otherwise it would not be possible to gather the two rows of formally dressed retainers in a short period of time to come to have an audience.

In addition, the Ishitani family is also famous for its swordsmanship, and the Ishitani Gogaru is also a well-known existence in the Kinki area, with many disciples in the dojo.

"Well, it sounds quite powerful, but I actually think it was made up by the old man in order to think of a powerful family tree. Some people said that I look very similar to the ancestors drawn on the hanging scroll. That kind of style Don’t the drawn characters all look exactly the same? Up to now, our family has been relying on land rent and kendo dojo for food.”

Toyiya Ishitani is the only one who can arrange this kind of speculation without respect for ancestors, because his parents died unexpectedly early. , is the young Toya Ishitani.

"Brother!" The kimono girl protested dissatisfied.

"Okay, okay, I won't say anything."

The four people in the room now, including Toya Ishitani who is not in shape, Diarmuid who is sitting upright, and Akika Ishitani who is dignified and girly, and the last one is to introduce Ishitani to Diarmuid The young man from the family history was the one who stood at the head when he was greeted at the door earlier. He looked refined and refined, and looked two or three years older than Toumi.

Fuyuya patted him on the shoulder, "I haven't introduced you yet, this is Diarmuid, and this is Maya Kirisaki, my father's adopted son."

"Winter Night in Kirisaki." The young man with glasses corrected him solemnly, "Please give me your advice when we meet for the first time, Mr. Diarmuid." He looked at Diarmuid with scrutiny, not knowing why, this His gaze made Ying Ling feel like he was a cabbage being picked and picked by others in the market.

"Maya, change the name given by your parents at will, Uncle and Aunt Kirizaki will cry."

"Master Fuyuya, on this matter, my father and mother have always praised me for doing the right thing."

Due to the remoteness of the place, Shigu's family still maintains many customs that have lasted for hundreds of years, and there are even retainers and shadow fighters, which are said to be almost hundreds of years ago. Diarmuid saw it at the gate of the mansion The two rows of people who greeted Fuyuya were the retainers and subordinates of the Ishitani family.

These systems, which had long been abolished in the Great Reformation of the Civil Law, are still practiced here.

Most of these retainers and subordinates are descendants of the Shigu family who used to be attached to them. Of course, because the times are different after all, the distinction between monarchs and ministers in ancient times has been blurred a lot, but there are still many loyal people who abide by etiquette.

These people are so serious that even someone like Toya Ishitani who pretends to be casual can't laugh at their rigidity.

And the Kirisaki family is one of the best.

Kirisaki Fuyuya was raised in the Ishitani family since he was a child. He is said to be the adopted son of Fuyuya's father, but in fact he grew up as a shadow warrior of Fuyuya's successor under the upbringing of the previous house governor, Fuyuya's grandfather. For this reason, he put his own The name "Maya Kirisaki" was changed to "Fuyuya Kirisaki". (Note: Dongye and Dongmi are both pronounced as とうやtouya.)

After Fuyuya succeeded as the governor of the family, although the current elder, that is, Kirisaki Fuyuya's father, Kirisaki Seitomi, had no intentions, but he was concerned about the strength of the master, and he was afraid that it would be difficult for the little family governor to simply retreat behind the scenes, so All kinds of common affairs of the Ishitani family, including the operation of the Ishitani Dojo, are almost all handled by Kirisaki Fuyuya.

He was born in Zhengmiaohong, and he was almost certain to be the next elder. His father took the initiative to avoid him, and he and Ishitani brothers and sisters grew up as childhood sweethearts. Dong Ye is not only as simple as the shadow warrior of the house governor, but also the agent of the house governor in essence.

Even though he didn't know the inside story, Diarmuid also felt the familiarity when the two talked, and it was difficult for others to intervene. ", Fuyuya will also show this expression of abandoning correction.

The hand on the kneeling knee was clenched unconsciously, "... Please give me your advice, I am the Servant Diarmuid Odina of Lord Fuya."

Kirisaki Fuyuya paused, showing a puzzled expression at the right time, "Servant?"

"Ah, that's... It's a long story. I'll explain it in a while. In short, Diarmuid is my new retainer." Dongmi struggled for a while, not knowing how to explain that he was called Traveling through fantasy, I finally decided to condense Diarmuid's bizarre origin into this sentence.

"I see." Kirisaki Fuyuya nodded, accepting the explanation.

"Maiya, even if you tell me that the times have changed a long time ago, and you still insist on family governors, retainers, shadow warriors, etc., you still feel like a second-year student." Fuyomi said.

Kirisaki Fuyue adjusted his glasses frame calmly, and said bluntly: "If you want to abolish your retainers, then please don't just pick up things and bring them back. As for Kagemushi... First of all, at least please deal with them yourself. How are the affairs of the family and the dojo?"

The "thing" Diarmuid who was picked up smiled. Is it an illusion? I always feel that Mr. Kirizaki's attitude towards him is a bit...

"Forgive me, I don't have that talent." Ishitani Toya simply waved his hand.

It's not so much that I don't have that talent, it's better to say that I never thought of doing it!

"Brother, it's true! He has clearly not fulfilled his obligations since he inherited the position of the family governor!"

Fuyumi laughed a few times, "Ahahahaha, Qiuhua, you and Maya did a great job, it doesn't matter if I'm not here~"

Seeing his brother's unpromising appearance, Shi Gu Qiuhua immediately became angry.However, her anger didn't last long, and her bulging cheeks soon sank, "...But, brother is still the same, it's good that he hasn't changed."

Ishitani Toya affectionately touched the top of his sister's head, seeing her well-behaved and comforted, unexpectedly remembered the reason for his return, suddenly straightened his body, and picked up the knife on the decorative knife holder in the Japanese room. knife.

"By the way, Qiuhua, which bastard is it!?"

"What, what?" Shigu Qiuhua was at a loss for the topic of sudden change and his brother's powerful roar.

"Miss Akika, I think, Mr. Fuyuya is probably referring to the one who is going to marry you..." Kirisaki Fuyuya calmly said his guess.

"Do you know who it is, Mayo!?...Could it be you, the bastard!?" With a groan, Fuyuya pulled out the knife directly, and the blade lay in front of Kirisaki Fuyuya, cutting the tatami into pieces Two cuts—although this is an unsharpened decoration, but in the hands of Ishitani Toya, who can cut off the water pipe with bare hands, it is definitely deadly for cutting people.

Facing the runaway Ishitani Toya and the point of the knife pointing at his nose, Kirisaki Fuyuya just sighed softly, still looking calm, "Master Toya, your attitude will make you Miss Qiuhua is troubled."

"elder brother……"

In the end, Shigu Qiuhua's troubled face played a role, and Fuyuya finally calmed down, returning the sword to the sheath.

"Sorry, Qiuhua, I was too excited...Damn it, although I know I don't have that position, but...Damn it! Damn it!"

Ishitani Tomi gritted his teeth, trying his best to restrain his anger. Presumably he was very contradictory. When he was traveling, his lovely sister was abducted by a wild man who didn't know where he came from. He was guilty and remorseful, and he didn't stop position, but he didn't want to see his younger sister just leave under the wings of his guards.

Kirisaki Fuyuya sighed softly, "Dinner is ready, anyway, if you have anything to say, please continue talking after that."

The author has something to say: Kirisaki Dongye actually mentioned it once in the chapter [Zero]

The name "Maya" is only still called by Toya _(:зゝ∠)_

Regarding the shadow fighters, although they were originally used to hide the whereabouts of the patriarch, confuse the enemy's eyes and ears, and prevent assassinations, they are not necessarily restricted to be very similar.

First of all, it is difficult to find someone with similar appearance, and even if you find it, you have to consider whether such a person will have ambition to replace the deity, just like many powerful people in ancient times, especially the royal family, would taboo twins.

Secondly, the Warring States period, when shadow fighters were prevalent, was not like modern times. Take a photo and upload it on the Internet, and the whole world will know what you look like in the next second. So similar.

So Tomiya and his family just continued this system, but it is not strictly enforced now~
