Early in the morning, the old servant of the Sakamoto family came to the third lady and knelt down in front of the Otome's room. With a happy face, he called out "Miss" as if singing an opera. "What's the matter?" Otome was busy with needlework and didn't look up.Tomorrow is the time for the young master Sakamoto Ryoma of the mansion to go to Edo to practice swordsmanship. "Strange news, the cherry tree in the yard is blooming." "What?" Otome laughed from behind the door, "You're always joking. It's only mid-March, how can the cherry blossoms bloom?"

"The old servant dare not lie, it's true." For some reason, Old Yuantou was very excited, and danced outside the door, "Miss, if you don't believe me, you can come out and have a look. Although there is only one flower, it is so eye-catching." Otome was dragged under the eaves by the old source.On a long day, a small white flower was in full bloom on the branch of the cherry tree in the courtyard.This cherry tree was planted by Sakamoto Ryoma when he was nine years old, and it has been exactly ten years since then. "Sure enough." Otome was amazed, staring at the cherry blossom.But she soon understood and laughed.Once she laughed, she couldn't stop it.At this time, the old source would always tell her some jokes with embellishments, such as the majestic warriors followed by the sound of farting at the bridge.Hearing this kind of words, she laughed even more and rolled her eyes white, threw herself on the tatami, stroked her chest, kicked her feet wildly, leaning forward and backward.At this time, the serious elder brother Gonpei Sakamoto is always worried, and even hesitates to call the doctor.

Otome's complexion is fair, her face is like a silver plate, she is cute and cute, but her body is very strong, more than five feet and eight inches.When laughing and rolling on the tatami, the body is so heavy that it almost sinks the tatami.She grew fat again, so her elder brother Kwon Ping and older sister Qian He teased her and said, "You really look like a door god." The word got out, and in Kochi Castle, if anyone mentioned "the door god of the Sakamoto family", everyone knew about it.However, although Otome is physically strong, she is flexible in movement and excellent in swordsmanship.Ryoma's first swordsmanship teacher is this elder sister who is three years older than him.

"Old Source, you are always so boring. Isn't this made of paper?" Otome discovers that the flower is actually made of paper.After asking, I realized that the clumsy old Yuanyuan stayed up all night to make this paper flower.Otome was greatly amused, but suddenly stopped laughing, tears welling up in her eyes. Hearing that Ryoma was about to leave for Edo, people came to congratulate him one after another.Therefore, Sakamoto Prefecture, located in 1-chome, Honmachi, Kochi Castle, is full of customers early in the morning. After congratulating Ryoma's father Sakamoto Hachihei and his first brother Kwonhei, the guests will inevitably come to the room of the last lady in the house and say the same thing.

"Miss, after the young master leaves, you will inevitably be lonely." "Where, I won't. Without this little devil around me, I will be clean." In fact, this is just lip service.When Ryoma was twelve years old, his mother Sachiko died.Although Otome was only three years older than Ryoma, she put her arms around her shoulders and coaxed him to sleep until he grew up.To Ryoma, her affection is like that of a mother to her son, maybe even more than that. Young Ryoma is extremely worrying.Amitabha, the grocery store owner who has been friends with the Sakamoto family for thirty years, is a local old man born out of phase, and he never hides his words. "It's not easy to grow up. You are not afraid of offending people when you say it. This young master, wetting the bed since he was a child, is really amazing..."

This is not true at all.When Ryoma was twelve years old, he still couldn't get rid of his bed-wetting problem, and the urchins next door laughed at him as a "bed-wetter".Long Ma was not good at showing off when he was young, so when he was teased like this, he didn't dare to fight back, and would only cry alone.He would occasionally follow the urchins to play by the nearby Zhufu river, but every time he was teased and insulted, he would cry all the way home, tearing up and down two or three streets.For this "slug of the Sakamoto family", even the people outside the city know the "Daimyo".I don't know why, but when Ryoma was twelve or thirteen years old, he still had two snot in his nose.

In Kochi Castle, the children of the upper-class samurai in the feudal domain would go to the school in Uemachi Shimazaki Nanai, while the children of the middle and lower-class samurai would mostly go to the school of Chase Ike Tsusaku or Kusuzansosuke in Ozenmachi.On the dragon horse is Nanshan Academy. Since going to school, Ryoma came home crying almost every day.Even if the teacher teaches a few words, it seems difficult to remember them with Longma's brain.Finally, on a rainy night, Nanshan Zhuangsuke came to Sakamoto's mansion and said, "This child really can't be taught. I don't think you should keep him by your side, and the mansion should educate him." Ryoma was thrown away by Mr. abandoned.Generally, the teachers in this kind of school are old gentlemen who are over fifty years old.This kind of old gentleman just walks away, which can be called a disgrace to the Sakamoto family.Ryoma's father, Sakamoto Hachihei, sighed, "Nizi! Is this child a burden to my Sakamoto family?"

Quan Ping also looked helpless at this time, only Otome grinned and said: "No, Ryoma will not become a waste who does not follow the righteous path. Maybe he will become famous all over the world." "Just this bedwetting guy?" "Exactly." Otome had high hopes for Ryoma. When the dragon horse croaked to the ground, its back was covered with curly hair.Baping is a bold man, and he was very surprised to see this. "This child is really weird. It's not a horse. How can there be mane growing on its back?" So he named the child Ryoma, and was quite proud of it. Sachiko recalled that when she was pregnant, a male cat she pet was attached to its owner and would often climb up on her belly. "Hey. It's a bit dangerous if it's either a horse or a cat. A horse is said to be a thousand-mile horse, but what's a cat to say? By the way, stealing cats. Is a dragon horse a horse or a cat?"

But as time went on, they found out that Ryoma was a stupid child, so the story of him being a horse fell silent.Quan Ping said: "It really is a cat. Looking at his stupid appearance, maybe he can't even steal food from a cat." But Otome doesn't think so.Although Longma wets the bed, has a runny nose all day long, and is not good at learning, children have their own temperaments.I don't know if she loves her brother earnestly, but every time she sees Ryoma, she can always feel a kind of wise and foolish demeanor from him.Otome told her brother Kwon Ping about her thoughts. It was Shin's time and Kwon Ping was drinking porridge, and she almost spit out rice when she heard it. "Otome, are you crazy? Is he considered wise and stupid? He is simply stupid."

"But I always feel that his eyes are different from other children." "That kid inherited his father's myopia. I have a reason for saying this. He always squints his eyes when he looks far away." "It is possible to squint, but it is definitely not near-sighted." "It's myopia!" Although Kwon Ping insisted on his own opinion, from Otome's point of view, what Ryoma squinted at was a world that only he could see. In addition to Otome, there is another person who strongly supports Ryoma, and he is the old source of sex jokes.As long as Otome and Ryoma were involved, the old servant was always by their side. "The young master will definitely have a bright future. Although he is a slug now, when he grows up, he will definitely become the world's number one swordsman." The old source's reason is very simple, that is, there is a one-inch-square mole on Longma's left wrist.He had heard from a fortune teller that a person with such a mole on his wrist, as long as he learns how to use a sword, will surely be successful in his life.

"Who did you hear that from?" "My old man heard it from a man who is more powerful than Buddha." "Is this person also under the city?" "I live in Obitayacho." "Is it the old man Amitabha?" It was the owner of the grocery store mentioned earlier.The old man's real name was Suzaki Yayoshihei, and after he returned to hermitage, he called himself Amitabha.Don't underestimate what he said.Otome began to believe in Amitabha's prophecy when Ryoma was fourteen years old.After the young Ryoma learned swords from Hineno Benji of Tsukifu Oguri-ryu, he suddenly changed a lot, even his appearance changed. Oguri Ryuhi Neno Benji's martial arts school is located beside the Shioe River that flows into Urado.Across the river is Zhenru Temple Mountain, which is one of the few beautiful places near the city.Hineno Benji is the leading local master and is also proficient in judo.Oguri-ryu's sword technique was originally mixed with judo and boxing techniques, so it was quite hard to practice.When practicing martial arts, if the disciple's hand is light, the master will scold: "This kind of attack, even a weasel can't kill it. Look at me!" After saying that, he picked up the bamboo knife, squatted on the horse, and quickly chopped at the opponent's head . "See? Use your back strength." Those who were beaten could not stand it.Even though they were wearing masks, the blow from the bamboo knife pierced their foreheads with force, and some people felt sore noses, became dizzy, and fell to the ground.Naturally, the young Ryoma also suffered a lot of beatings. One month after Longma started, the master stared at him closely and said, "Boy, that's strange." The appearance was frightening, but he didn't say why. Ryoma took his gear to Zhufu every day, and then returned to his home in Honmachi 1-chome.Otome always waited eagerly for him to come back, and then urged him to go to the courtyard to practice swords.This is daily homework.And, you have to put on the protective gear again.At this time, Otome showed the demeanor of the daughter of the samurai family. She rolled her handkerchief into Takashima's bun, tied her sleeves with a belt, and slashed with a knife. "Ryoma, take the move!" Otome asked Ryoma to fight according to the moves he learned that day. "Don't underestimate women." How dare Long Ma underestimate her.No matter what moves Ryoma makes, this wild girl can always catch Ryoma's bamboo knife.On several occasions, Ryoma was pushed by Otome into the pond in the yard.Ryoma finally climbed out, but Otome quickly pushed him down.One day, his father Bahei couldn't stand it anymore, and blamed Otome, "Don't go too far." "No." Otome pursed her lips with a pitiful look, "Why not? Dragons can ascend to heaven with the help of clouds and rain. I want to water the dragon horse to see if he is a real dragon." "Silly girl, father doesn't feel sorry for Ryoma. I'm worried that you will be so hot and hot, and I'm afraid you won't find a husband's family in the future." Three months passed, and today Hineno Bianzhi stared at Ryoma again as usual, and said, "It's really weird." Seeing Ryoma puzzled, Hineno said, "Boy, he's changed, he's a different person from when he first entered our school. There is a word called rebirth, and there really is such a thing in the world.” Ryoma has indeed changed into a different person, his face has become angular, and his height is like a bamboo joint. By this spring, he had grown to five feet eight inches, and he looked like a great man. It can make people stop and look back. "Is he the slug from Sakamoto's family?" Some people who passed him on the road couldn't believe their eyes.Only Otome knows that Ryoma still has an old problem that hasn't been corrected.That is, even if you go to another house to have a banquet, you always lose rice grains.Originally, Ryoma was not the only one who had this problem, but his elder brother Kwon Ping also had the same problem, so the Otome rights were regarded as the inheritance of the Sakamoto family and were ignored. This year's New Year, after the Hineno Martial Arts Tournament, the evaluation of "Dragon and Horse Kung Fu is excellent" spread inside and outside Kochi City.On this day, Otome was also wearing a snow-white practice uniform and a pair of navy blue skirt pants, sitting in the back row of the martial arts field to watch the competition.Seeing her younger brother Ryoma's performance, even she couldn't believe her eyes. Ryoma first fought against three beginners, subdued each other with one move, and then fought against two masters, letting them throw away their armor and armor in the blink of an eye. The next day, Hineno Benji granted Ryoma Oguri the catalog qualification, indicating that he had accomplished his studies.At that time, Longma was only nineteen years old.Obtaining the catalog qualification at such a young age is a special case in Hineno Martial Arts. "Catalogue qualification? Longma?" Quan Ping couldn't sit still. "I am blind, and Ryoma will definitely become a dragon just like his name." He said loudly to Baping: "Father, although it will cost money, let my younger brother go to Edo to learn martial arts. In the future, we can open a martial arts gym under the city. That would be great." Bahei immediately brought Kwon Ping to Hineno Benji's to discuss. "Your son will be able to make great achievements in martial arts." Hineno not only encouraged Baping and his son, but also said, "The ancients said that a good bird chooses a tree to live in. If you want to achieve great things, you still have to go to the big school. Beichen's sword is good." "Are you talking about Master Chiba Shuzuo?" Although Quan Ping has never seen the big world, he still has this knowledge.Shusaku Chiba, Haruno Momoi from the Kyobashi Riverbank and Yakuro Saito from Kojicho are known as the three masters of Edo.In Japan, these three can be described as one-third of the world. "I write a letter of recommendation for your son. Of course it is best to learn from Master Zhou Zuo, but Master Zhou Zuo is old, and his brother Zhenji opened a martial arts gym in Kyobashi Otsucho. I recommend Ryoma to follow this master. Yuchi people say Big Chiba, Master Zhenji's martial arts school is called Little Chiba." "Thank you so much." The impatient father and son took the letter of recommendation and went straight to the mansion of the old Fukuoka Palace next to the inner moat. "Please inform me. Come to see the elders before the matter of my son Ryoma." Although the Sakamoto family is the leading wealthy family in the city, their identity is just a countryman under the family's old Fukuoka.To send Ryoma to Edo to learn swordsmanship, the approval of the palace is required, and the application must be submitted to the feudal mansion, and the request for instructions must also be submitted by the palace. "The study of swordsmanship is commendable." Father and son finally got permission.Otome ran to Ryoma's room with the good news. "Ryoma, great joy! The feudal government agreed." There was no trace of joy on Longma's face. "What's wrong?" "When I was chasing a flea, it ran under the desk. I refused to admit defeat and chased after it, and the flea seemed to have run into my mouth. The taste is so strange." Otome couldn't laugh or cry, and said to herself: "Isn't it really an ordinary person?" March 17th in the sixth year of Kayong (1853) was the day when Ryoma set off for Edo. When it was still dark, Lao Yuantou opened the door and hung up the lantern with the bellflower pattern on it. Every room in the mansion was lit up. Sakamoto Hachihei came to the academy in a dress with the Inka pattern, but he didn't see Ryoma, so he asked, "Kwon Ping, where is Ryoma?" "It's been missing." "Find him quickly. This kid is not reliable, and you have to tell him well in the end." At this time, Ryoma was opening the door of Otome's room to say goodbye to her sister.Otome seemed to be waiting for her younger brother to arrive, and sat in the room dressed up.Long Ma was somewhat restrained, and said: "Little brother came to say goodbye to sister." "Congratulations." Otome praised him.For some reason, Ryoma has been ignorant of etiquette since he was a child, as if he was born unable to learn these rules.Fortunately, his nature is lovable, no one will feel unhappy because of this, they only think this is his temperament. Ryoma put his hands on the ground, lowered his head without saying a word, and quickly raised his head again.Otome was taken aback. "What's wrong?" "Don't talk about these broken rules." Ryoma suddenly stretched out his right foot, hugged his thigh with both hands, and said, "Sister, let's play foot sumo. We have been playing this since we were young, so let's say goodbye with this. Could it be, Sister, known as the door god of the Sakamoto family, is she going to back down?" "Retreat?" Otome fell for Ryoma's trick. "I will not back down. How many rounds will determine the outcome?" "Today is our parting day, let's decide the outcome in one round." "Okay." Otome rolled up her dress, exposed her legs, and hugged her with both hands.It was quite unseemly, but Ryoma had gotten used to her sister's appearance since he was a child. Nearly a quarter of an hour later, although the siblings performed their own stunts, they were still tied.Finally, when Otome was about to stretch out her leg and overturn Ryoma, Ryoma said: "Sister...your leg..." Otome hurriedly folded her legs, and Ryoma took the opportunity to attack, and Otome fell on her back, revealing the spring light on her legs. "how?" "mean." "What are you doing?" Kwon Ping came in angrily. "Look at my sister Chunguang." Quan Ping held back his laughter, and said solemnly: "It will be dawn soon. Ryoma is about to set off, Otome stop messing around." It is an old custom in Tosa Kochi Castle that if someone in the family travels far, they have to recite a strange mantra.This mantra is called the Citrus Mantra.I don't know when the custom started, and the journey is dangerous. This is a mantra to pray for the safety of relatives.Otome came to the dark road and put a stone under the eaves of the door. Soon, Ryoma came out in all his luggage.His outfit was made by Otome, who is not good at sewing, after ten nights of sewing.The navy blue sleeves and the navy blue hakama look like the attire of a young warrior learning fencing.It is said that in order to commemorate Ryoma, the middle school Kainan School opened in Kochi after Meiji has always used navy blue sleeves and navy blue hakama as school uniforms. When Otome saw Ryoma coming out, she knelt down and said, "Brother, this is custom, step on this stone." "Is that so?" Ryoma stomped casually and said, "Sister, take care. By the time I return to Tosa, my sister should be married, right?" Otome didn't answer, but Ryoma had already heard about it.Since last winter, people have come to propose marriage.If all goes well, this summer Otome will marry into the home of a doctor in Shanbei Village, a village about half a day away from Kochi.The doctor's name was Shinsuke Okakami, and he was an orchid doctor who came back from Nagasaki.Okakami is eight inches shorter than Otome, which makes Otome quite dissatisfied.Even so, she still put on a happy face and said, "Don't forget to go to Shanbei next time you go back to your hometown." Quan Ping stood by the door and urged: "Ryoma, it's time to get on the road." After speaking, put his hands on his waist, and recited a popular poem.He has no other strengths, but he is born with a good voice.He sang: "Farewell." Ryoma carried the luggage on his left shoulder and the bamboo knife on his right shoulder. Wearing heavy armor, he walked slowly. "When you arrive in Edo, remember to write a letter back." The stars in the sky recede, and the light of dawn shines on the road ahead.Both sides of the street were full of men and women seeing off.Long Ma had just walked ten feet away when Lao Yuanyuan's wife suddenly rushed out from the mansion, which was also part of the ceremony, she held a water spoon tied with citrus oranges, and called: "Young Master, Young Master." Like what Long Mayiren taught him, he quickly turned his head and smiled. The distance from Kochi in Tosa to Edo is very long by climbing mountains and crossing seas.This journey will first climb over the steep mountains of Shikoku. It was the custom of Kochi people to send people to Lingshikou at that time.Lingshi of Changshan County is a village more than 20 miles away from Kochi City, built on the mountain.This area is the place where Zeng Wobu Yuanqin, the chief figure of the Warring States Period, raised his troops, so there are many related anecdotes. Parents and brothers and sisters were not sent, relatives, friends, and Longma's partner in the martial arts school, etc. more than 20 people sent him to Lingshi.In order to relieve their boredom on the way, they took turns singing songs, which is exactly the local style that the locals like to sing. Doi Yogoro, acting teacher of Hineno Martial Arts Academy, said: "Ryoma, you can also sing a song." "Can't sing well." Ryoma replied unhappily. "It's only funny if you can't sing it well. Hey, you can sing The Tinker Pony." "pony……" "Look, I'm blushing." "nonsense." This pony is the most beautiful woman in the city of Kochi, and she is the daughter of a tinker at the foot of Mount Wutai.Because of his father's early death, his mother went to and from the monk's room in Wutai Mountain to wash clothes for a living, and Xiao Ma went to the monk's room to deliver the washed clothes every day.Pony and Ryoma are the same age, and since Pony's mother was a maid in the Sakamoto family, Pony occasionally comes to Sakamoto's house.Ryoma remembered that this beautiful woman was five feet two inches tall with red hair.Her beauty was well-known among the young samurai in the castle. Whenever they heard that Xiaoma was coming to Sakamoto's house, Ryoma's friends would find a reason to visit Sakamoto's house. Not only the young warriors in the city, but even the young monks in Zhulin Temple in Wutai Mountain became restless.Some monks deliberately soiled their clothes in order to have a few words with Xiao Ma, and some even wrote books to express their love for her. There was a young monk named Junxin, in order to please the pony, he bought a horse bone hairpin as a gift from the orange house, a grocery store next to Harimaya Bridge, the busiest and busiest place in the city.At that time, extravagance was strictly prohibited in the vassal government, and civilians were prohibited from using Shan paste hairpins.This matter became a joke in the city. Probably because Tosa is located in the southern country, folk songs are easy to sing, and only bright and minor tunes are popular.No matter how tragic the story, the people here will sing it with cheerful words. "Then I'll sing for uncle." It was Kwon Pyung's daughter Chunzhu who spoke.She has a good voice like her father. The morning mist gradually dissipated, and there was not a trace of cloud in the sky at the top of Pingyan Peak in front of me. Longma has a different temperament, although there are many people seeing him off, he hardly speaks a word.Seeing his lonely face, Chun Zhu smiled and said, "Uncle seems to be on his way alone." Sometimes he would hide himself suddenly, causing everyone a false alarm.Hearing that "the dragon horse is gone", people immediately turned back and searched separately, only to find him playing in the river alone. "What a troublesome eccentric," people exclaimed. When he got near the leading stone, he disappeared again. "This time there is only one way, so it will be easier to find." Later they found that Ryoma had entered a strange house casually, lying at the door, propping his chin with both hands, and staring blankly at the screen. This is the home of a countryman named Eizo Nomura.The Nomura family thought this silent intruder was suspicious and even frightening, so they didn't dare to talk to him and let him deal with himself. Doi Yogoro hurriedly apologized to the Nomura family, turned around and blamed Ryoma, "What are you doing?" "Look at the screen." It turned out that on the two screens, the battle of Tanpu in the Yuanping naval battle was painted, with gorgeous and colorful colors.Because the screen can be seen on the road, he was attracted to it. "Did you like this painting?" Ryoma just smiled but didn't answer.What he likes is not the painting itself, but the intense naval battle scene.It's just that he never dreamed at that time that he would lead the fleet to fight against the shogunate in the Shimonoseki Strait in the future. "Let's go?" people urged. When Ryoma stood up, a monk resting at Nomura's house said, "Please wait a moment." Ryoma turned around and saw a small monk who was no more than five feet tall, but with a frighteningly large head.The Tosa people call this kind of person a mullet head, which is very vivid. "It's really out of phase!" said the monk.Ryoma ignored him.The man looked like just a wandering monk, begging for alms at rich people's homes, and doing divination for villagers for a living.Longma doesn't like such people in his heart. "Please tell me how to call the benefactor?" "Don't dare, Sakamoto Ryoma." "The benefactor's brows are flickering with strange light. In the future, he must be someone who can change the world by himself." "Don't dare." Ryoma smiled, "I want to be a swordsmanship teacher, look at my heavy outfit." After speaking, Ryoma strode out. It was sunny all the way.Ryoma climbed over the peaks of the Awa region and stepped into the valley upstream of the Yoshino River. This canyon extending from Shizui Mountain is 160 miles long from east to west, with complex terrain.There are dangerous passes such as Dabuwei and Xiaobuwei in the middle, and sometimes you can walk for a day without encountering a ghost. Ryoma has a habit of hiding his left hand in his pocket when walking, carrying the bamboo knife and armor on his right shoulder, leaning his left shoulder slightly, and walking forward step by step, but the pace is not slow. This habit was formed four or five years ago.When Ryoma was fifteen years old, he looked down on zazen, which was popular among young warriors, and thought it would be better to practice on foot than to sit in a Zen temple for a moment.He has been practicing walking, with the mentality that even if he falls off a rock, he will die if he dies.When the rock fell, he didn't hide or catch it, and he calmly accepted it when he hit his head. With this state of mind, he practiced walking.At first, he imagined that rocks would fall from his head, and he was terrified.Between the ages of fifteen and seventeen, he always had that rock on his head.But at eighteen, he began to think he was stupid.What fool imagines rocks to frighten himself?From now on, I don't do that any more.Now he has completely forgotten what happened at that time, but the problem of walking has not been corrected. Once, Doi Yogoro saw his back walking back and forth in Oiyamachi, and said awe-inspiringly: "The boy is too strong, I can't cut him from behind." Although Ryoma gave up his original cultivation method, perhaps it was because of his unconsciousness that the "rock" grew slowly, and Ryoma himself also grew up. After traveling for several days, Ryoma arrived at Okazakiura in Awa.This bay faces Konaruto, and there are ships to Awaji Fukura and Osaka Tempozan Bay. Ryoma inhaled the smell of the sea to his heart's content.It was a smell I hadn't smelled since I left Tosa for a few days. On both sides of the narrow path leading to the seashore are boatmen, and the woman who attracts guests greets all kinds of guests with her hoarse voice.Seeing Ryoma, the women shouted: "That young warrior brother, although the weather is sunny, the sea is rough. You can't sail today, so stay here." Ryoma was dragged by the maid who was recruiting guests, and bowed into a dockside inn called Narutoya. "Ms. Awa is really enthusiastic." As Ryoma heard, a maid in a red dress and a red apron asked Ryoma to sit down and washed his feet, rubbing the seams between his toes clean.Then, he was taken to the second floor. "There are quite a few sharp ones." "Some people have been waiting for the boat here for three days. Big brother's room is over here." "I don't like that room." Ryoma hurried across the corridor and entered another room.After sitting down, order wine immediately.Tosa people have always regarded wine as tea. "This... This room is reserved for other guests, and the guests will arrive soon." "I'll live here!" He decided so self-servingly.He was not a very stubborn person originally, but he hated doing what others said the most.After many years, he gradually developed such a catchphrase: "When everyone does good, I alone do evil, and vice versa. The so-called heroes only do what they want." At this point he didn't speak, just smiled. "It makes it difficult for the little one." "That's it, serve the wine." Ryoma opened the lattice door on the east side, and the sea view suddenly came into view.Awaji Island is close in sight, and the mountains of Kishu in the distance are covered with a layer of peach-colored mist in the afterglow. "I like a room with a view of the sea and the boats." After drinking for myself, when I started to get a little drunk, the shopkeeper hurried over and said, "Master Samurai, the guests in this room have arrived. May I trouble you to move to that room?" "You can't see the sea over there, can you?" "can not see." "I'm right here." "Such a small one, discuss with the guest who booked first, how about the two of you living together?" "it is good." "Thank you. Master, let me tell you one more thing, the other party is a female guest." "Ah?" Ryoma stood up suddenly, "This is not allowed. You refused for me. When I left my hometown, my father gave special instructions." "What did your father say?" "Don't get close to women." "You're joking. It's just living in the same room, and it's not close to a woman." "That's not okay. The old Fukuoka Miyauchi-sama in my hometown told my brother that every time I went to his house, the women in his family became restless." "The guest officer is amazing." "That's why my father ordered me not to get close to women." "Excuse me for being blunt, but this guest who came is none other than the younger sister of Mr. Futong from the Tosa family."
