Chapter 17 17. The Moon of Waiting for the Night

There are four wealthy families in Kochi City.There is a song circulating among the children in the city, and the four families are sung in the song. It is often said that wealth does not last for three generations, and Xixiang Takamori once said, "Don't buy beautiful land for your children and grandchildren", which shows that wealth has been easily dispersed since ancient times. (In the era of the author, three of the four major families in Kochi have declined a few generations ago. Only the Kawasaki family still lives in Kochi City and maintains a prosperous family business. As the song sings, the Kawasaki family has passed on from generation to generation. As a landowner in the mountains, he began to pay attention to education early, and invested in the establishment of a private Tosa high school, which is deeply respected by the citizens.) Let's see how the Ryoma Toki family is.

Although Shangsai Valley is a merchant, it is also the head of the local samurai Sakamoto family.His family runs a pawn shop, so the folk songs praise his family's "antiques".As mentioned earlier, both the houses of the Sakamoto family and the Kamisaiya house are located in 1-chome, Honmachi. Although they do not enter and exit through the same gate, the two inner houses are connected. One is a samurai, the other is a merchant. The two were originally a family, but now they are like two-headed snakes.Growing up in such an environment, Ryoma is naturally different from Takeshi Hanheita and others, and his temperament has the broad-mindedness and open-mindedness of a businessman.

What about Xiacaigu's family?Xia Saigu and the Sakamoto family are not of the same family, but a few years ago, the housekeeper of Shang Caigu set up a separate colony, and then gradually became a well-known wealthy businessman.Although his family is already a wealthy family, they are very respectful to the Sakamoto family and are still regarded as the main family.The strange thing is that all the daughters born in the Caigu family are as beautiful as immortals.At this time, the four daughters are all like flowers.The students of the People's University in the city sighed: "Xiacaigu's house is a field of beautiful women!"

The eldest daughter recruited a son-in-law who came to visit, and the second and third young ladies have also left the court, and only the youngest daughter is waiting in the boudoir.The youngest daughter, named Meiyi, was just seventeen years old.When Meiyi was young, Sakamoto Ryoma loved her very much, and would take her with her every time it was time for plum and cherry blossom viewing.Mei Yi and Kwon Ping's only daughter, Chunzhu Tonggeng, are as close as sisters, but their temperaments are quite different.It is the family style of the Sakamoto family to have a lively personality.Longma's niece, Chunzhu, is lively and cheerful, and loves to make trouble. Her laughter and laughter can be heard all day long at home.Meiyi is gentle and quiet, and often lives in a deep boudoir, so Chun Zhu always goes to Xiacaigu's house to find Meiyi.

One day, Chunzhu came back from Xiacaigu's house. When he saw Longma, he called "Uncle" and laughed so hard. "What are you laughing at?" Ryoma was confused for a moment. Chunzhu blinked at Ryoma, with a mysterious expression on his face, as if there was something important going on. "Uncle, are you free tomorrow?" After Chunzhu asked, he couldn't help laughing again. Chunzhu has a fair complexion and a face like a full moon. Mr. Long Ma jokingly calls her "Puffer", and loves her very much.It's a pity that there is a pockmark on her face. Without this pockmark, she can be called a beauty.Later, when Ryoma was in Nagasaki, he often bought French perfumes and powders and sent them to her.The letter he wrote to Chunzhu back then was even handed down to later generations.

Now his nephew Chunzhu asked him "Are you free?" "Ah - I'm free." Ryoma replied smoothly.In fact, where is he free at this time?Ever since Tosa Tatsuo took the oath, he stayed at Takeichi's house until late every day, busy receiving young samurai from Aki, Kagami, Nagaoka, Tosa, Gogawa, Takaoka and Hata prefectures.They all came to visit Wushi with their family heirloom swords that had faded. The clever Harubo actually knew that Ryoma was busy discussing a major matter with Mr. Takeshi from Shinmachi Tabuchi-cho recently.She asked knowingly. "If the uncle is idle, the niece will ask for something."

"What's up?" "Take me to Mount Wutai to enjoy the moon tomorrow." "Is it time to watch the moon?" Ryoma has been so busy recently that he forgot about the sun and the moon.The bright moon in the ninth month of the lunar calendar has gradually become round.The moon tomorrow night is called Xiaoyue, and the day after tomorrow is the full moon night.But why does Spring Pig want to see the fourteenth moon? "Because there were few people at that time." Chun Zhu said solemnly. "Is it better if there are fewer people?" "Ok."

Chunzhu seems to have a "conspiracy". "I see. Tomorrow afternoon, you take the old source to the Taomu tea house at the foot of Mount Wutai and wait, and I will go there later." "Go later?" "I have something to do during the day." Long Ma's mouth is understatement, but it is actually a big deal.He wants to travel far again.Tomorrow, he will apply to the feudal government for a trip. He clearly says that he is going to Zanzhou Marugame to learn swordsmanship with others, but secretly he is going to various feudal clans to lobby local patriots and start the King Qin uprising.

The next day was the fourteenth of September.Ryoma went to the old Fukuoka house of the feudal mansion, handed in the application, and then went to the peach wood tea house at the foot of Mount Wutai when the red sun was holding the mountain.It was already late when we arrived at the teahouse.Wait another half an hour, and the Xiaoyue Moon that Spring Pig is looking forward to will rise. The owner of the teahouse, Mohei, and Ryoma are old acquaintances. Seeing Ryoma's arrival, he ran to the entrance to greet him. "Has my spring pig come?" Long Ma asked. "Miss, I can't wait." The boss came over after finishing the quotation, and hurriedly said, "Then...the little one is just heard, never seen before, and it turns out to be even more beautiful than people say what."

Are you talking about spring pigs? !Long Ma thought that the boss was deliberately flattering, so he was dumb for a while.Chunzhu is indeed amiable and lovely, but she is definitely not the kind of beauty the boss said. "Your mouth is so sweet." "Where, where, the poor woman and the little maid in the humble house said that the young lady is so beautiful that it is dazzling." "I can't open my eyes when I see Chunzhu? I really don't know about it. We live under the same roof, and I didn't notice it. It turns out that Chunzhu is so beautiful that it is well-known in the city."

"No, no." Mobei suddenly felt embarrassed, and said, "The little one is talking about the lady who came with her." "Miss who came together? Who is it?" "Miss Meiyi, the daughter of the shopkeeper of Xiacai Valley House." "Mei Yi is here too?" Ryoma laughed. "Of course she will be very beautiful. I haven't seen her in a few years, and now she is so good?" "yes." "But Maobingwei, you've made my spring pig look ugly. If you let this girl hear what you said just now, I won't spare you." "Where?" The boss was angry and anxious, "You are worrying too much, Master Sakamoto. Ms. Haruzhu is also considered a beauty." "It counts? It's really pitiful." Ryoma took off his shoes and strode in.A maidservant followed closely with a gambling candle in her hand. Meiyi, this little girl, has become so eye-catching now?Longma was very happy.The scene of admiring the plum blossoms in Wutai Mountain with Meiyi back then suddenly seems like yesterday.With a bang, he opened the paper door.The room faces east, so unfortunately we can't see the sea view of Sujiang Temple, but when the moon rises and shines on the green pines on the top of the dwarf mountain, it will be a very beautiful picture. Chunzhu did carry out a "conspiracy" secretly without telling Longma.It can even be said that her "conspiracy" is about to be completed - she has successfully invited Ryoma to this peach wood tea house at the foot of Mount Wutai. "Hush—" When he heard Ryoma's footsteps coming from the entrance, Chunzhu made an exaggerated movement and said, "Here we come, we finally come." Meiyi was a little at a loss, looked up at Chunzhu, and immediately lowered her head. "Are you happy?" Chunzhu said as if watching the excitement, "Meiyi, you can't pretend to be dumb. You have to say something." "En." Meiyi nodded, her voice as thin as a gossamer. Meiyi still clearly remembers when Ryoma took her to admire plum blossoms when she was ten years old.At that time, Ryoma had just returned home after learning fencing in Edo. He held her little hand from time to time, and when he encountered a depression, he hugged her to it.Long Ma was eleven years older than her.In her eyes back then, Ryoma was already a great man.It's just that a ten-year-old girl should be underestimated, even she herself was surprised.She seemed to have taken a deep liking to Ryoma by then.That kind of emotion is no different from that of a big girl.The difference is that when he was a child, he spoke freely.One day, she came home and said to her mother, A Xing, "I want to marry Uncle Longma." Ah Xing was very worried.What she thought was that although her daughter was only ten years old, such things should not be perfunctory. "No." Axing objected flatly, "Master Sakamoto was born in a samurai family, and he is our head family. You can't marry him. You will marry a businessman in the future." Although Meiyi was still a child, she was very sad when she heard this, and cried in her dream that night.After that, she never saw Ryoma again.But she heard a lot of news about Ryoma from Chunzhu who came to play frequently at home, and she knew everything about Ryoma like the back of her hand. The turnaround happened the day before.When Harubo vividly told Miy about Ryoma's jokes and eccentricities, he suddenly became serious. "What's wrong?" May asked. "Don't you like Uncle Longma?" Chunzhu didn't hesitate.Beauty has nowhere to hide. "Hello." Ryoma called out as soon as he entered the room, "Is it Meiyi?" After speaking, he laughed. Chunzhu said angrily, "Uncle is too rude to Meiyi." "how do I say this?" "I haven't seen you for many years. It's not easy to say hello when I see you. It's just a joke..." "That makes sense." Ryoma also regretted it.But then he stared at Meyer, as if contemplating a rare object. "Meiyi, are you a human or a fairy?" He sighed again and again, "It's unbelievable. The ugly girl in the past has grown into a great beauty now." Chunzhu got angry again, and said, "It's a matter of course. What's so strange about the so-called Eighteen Changes of Women's University?" "Yes, it's not surprising, but when I was living my life in a daze, time flies, the sun and the moon change, and they don't wait for anyone. Seeing Meiyi, I understand this truth." Chun Zhu was helpless, and Long Ma let her down too much.After finally directing a good show for him, the image of the romantic son was completely destroyed by his few words. The food and wine will be served in no time.Disappointed, Chunzhu made up his mind to just bury his head in eating and leave the two of them alone. "Mei Yi, drink." Long Ma poured wine for Mei Yi.Meiyi seemed demure, but she was a Tosa woman after all. I saw her take a big wooden cup to take a full plate, and drank it all in one go. "Amazing!" Long Ma praised. Then Meiyi smiled.Immediately, the room seemed to light up suddenly.It turned out that it was the first appearance of Chanjuan, and the ground was filled with brilliance for a while.Under the hazy moonlight, the beautiful colors give people a dreamlike feeling. "It's so beautiful!" Longma looked like he had just woken up from a dream.As the moonlight gradually brightened, Ryoma was already a little drunk. "Chun Zhu, Mei Yi, sit side by side and have a look." "What?" The two didn't know why. "I want to enjoy the moonlight." The two girls had to sit side by side. "Come closer. I used to take care of you when you were young. Now that you are grown up, you have to repay me and lend me your legs." Long Ma was pillowing on the legs of the two, and soon snored like thunder. "Meiyi," Chun Zhu looked at Ryoma lying on his lap, and said, "How are you?" Meiyi blushed in embarrassment, but what made her unbearable was Ryoma's scorching body.Ryoma's shoulders were like fire, and Mei felt that all the blood in her body was rushing to her legs. "Hey, Meiyi. The man's body is very hot." Chunzhu said, looking puzzled.Meiyi muttered in a low voice: "Yes." She resisted the oppression of Ryoma's weight. The moon is already high in the sky.Ryoma finally opened his eyes, looked at Mei Yi's white chin and asked, "What time is it?" "This..." Meiyi was a little at a loss, and said, "It's almost Xu time." "Ah, not good." Longma jumped up and picked up the long knife.Before they could react, Ryoma had already walked out of the room. When I woke up, I suddenly became ashamed.Only Chunzhu understood Ryoma's mood and couldn't help laughing.What kind of mood is Meiyi in? Ryoma walked out of the entrance.The old source ran out. "Where are the ladies?" "Come soon. Old Yuantou, find a sedan chair to see them off." "The young master is really ruthless." Old Source asked, "Why didn't you send it yourself?" Troubled old man!Long Ma said angrily in a rare way: "Tell Chunzhu not to treat other people's young ladies as playthings!" "As a plaything?" "That's right, there's no need to say any more. I suddenly remembered an urgent matter. If I don't go down the mountain immediately, I will definitely miss a big deal." There was indeed someone waiting for him at Wushi's house.The man's name is Nasu Shingo, and he is a villager from Gongyuan, Gaotong County.He is a burly man, and in times of emergency, he can travel day and night in the deserted mountains, reaching the city of Kochi one day and one night.He and Ryoma agreed to meet late at night, and it seemed that the matter was of great importance. "Master, take the lantern and go." "No need to." Although Ryoma was short-sighted, the road was still very clear under the bright moonlight.He ran all the way down the mountain road, and two or three foxes were frightened and fled in panic. The castle town is to the west, more than eight miles away.When the dragon horse came down the mountain, the straw sandals were already soaked.There was a patch of miscanthus in front of him, and Ryoma moved forward as if swimming in water.As he was walking, the miscanthus suddenly split in two.The dragon horse hurriedly lay down on the ground, and the three white knives pressed forward.Could it be the vixen's mischief?The dragon horse crawled forward, surprised in his heart.Into the wetlands, his right shoulder and face were covered with mud. Long Ma finally stood up and asked, "Is this a fox spirit?" "No." One of them replied. "Then don't be blind, I am Ryoma Sakamoto." "Know." Judging from the tone of voice, the visitors were not countrymen, but sergeants. There were three of them in total.Could it be that he offended the person who came to seek revenge in the Yongfu Temple incident?Perhaps there are more important reasons.Longma knew that those sergeants were extremely conservative, and was very disgusted with the Xiangshi Qinwang.Some sergeants even clamored to kill him and Wushi.Is it those guys?Ryoma reluctantly drew out his sword. "Ryoma, do you still remember that you took my Tong'er away?" "Tong'er?" Long Ma was greatly surprised. The so-called child is Tosa's term, but it is actually child molestation.This bad habit formed in the Warring States Period is still left among the southern warriors such as Tosa and Satsuma.For young samurai, pampering and molesting children was commonplace, and some even fought over a child.There is a popular ballad among the young warriors in Tosa: If you want to touch my boy, you can do it, and the long sword on my waist is not welcome.This kind of bad habit makes the world despise, but it still persists until many years later.It is said that in the old high school Hainan School in Kochi, the students still sang this song as the school anthem. But Longma is not as good as Longyang.The young warriors under the city clearly knew this, so where did the resentment towards him come from?There must be a reason for it. Holding the knife, Longma guarded his foot, and asked, "Who are you talking about Tong'er?" "The help of the debate." Benzhisuke is a young novice monk from Zhulin Temple in Mount Wutai. He is more beautiful than a woman. Not to mention a monk from Yishan, even the warriors in the city are fascinated by him.Bennosuke was originally the son of a farm family on the land under the jurisdiction of the Sakamoto family. Ryoma's elder brother Kwon Hei sent him to practice at Zhulin Temple on Wutai Mountain. Therefore, every time Bennosuke went down the mountain to the city, he would visit the Sakamoto family. "I don't like that thing." Ryoma wanted to understand the reason and laughed.However, he knew that the other party must use this as an excuse, and the real purpose was to kill him.Recalling that on the way Ryoma came here in the evening, I met some Shimoyokome in Obitaya Town under the castle, and Iwasaki Yataro was among them.Had they reported his whereabouts to these fools? The moonlight falls from the clouds.When the wind picked up, the miscanthus swayed with the wind, as if covered with silver powder. A shadow turns to Ryoma's left.Ryoma wanted to see the opponent's face carefully, but because of myopia, he couldn't see clearly. Another shadow also turned to his left head.The man raised the knife above his head and stepped forward three feet.Judging from his posture, this person is the same as the previous generation of Fan Gongrongtang.The man roared angrily and slashed over. Ryoma retreated quickly, and at the same time raised his sword against the opponent's blade, and sparks flew all over the place.If he attacked, he would surely be able to cut down the opponent, but Ryoma withdrew his sword. "Don't stop?" The kung fu of the two is very different.Ryoma faintly felt that it was meaningless to kill such a weak person. Ryoma's left foot was already wet.Behind him is the swamp, the water is ankle deep and covers several acres.When Xiaoyue was reflected in the water, he stepped back a few steps, piercing the moon's shadow in the water. "Is that why you hate the villagers so much?" The opponent stood in front of the swamp and stopped moving forward. "If you are real men, report your names. Are you all unknown juniors?" Long Ma began to use aggressive methods. Unexpectedly, the other party did not respond. "Since you are an unknown junior, I will not be polite. I will kill you all." The other party seemed to be irritated at last, and one of them jumped into the swamp.Ryoma also took three steps forward.As soon as the opponent raised the sword, Ryoma's sword had already quickly hit the opponent's right hand, and then immediately took a step back. "Ah—" The opponent's knife fell to the ground, and his thumb flew away at the same time.Thumb-cutting is the secret technique of Beichen's one-sword style, and it is exactly the style of play that Chiba Shusaku studied in official competitions when he was young.Instead of hitting the opponent's face, chest and forearm with a knife, it is better to chop off fingers.After cutting off the fingers, the enemy becomes his own prey, at his mercy. Ryoma did not take advantage of the victory to attack, but withdrew his long sword. "We've seen the outcome." He said, wading back through the water, "It's meaningless to compare." He turned around and walked forward in the swamp. "Despicable villain!" A person rushed up by wading through the water. "Who dares to come here! We Tosa countrymen think farther than you people who have enjoyed high positions and high salaries for generations. We are thinking about a big thing. Although I, Sakamoto Ryoma, am humble and insignificant, I don't want to fight pointlessly with you fools. I don't want to die, and I don't want to kill anyone." After saying that, he walked away.Under the moonlight, his figure became smaller and smaller. The sergeants stared blankly at his back. "Ah!" one of the shadows said dejectedly.Although his eyes were sharp, he had the face of an aristocrat. His name was Gan Tuizhu, and he later changed his name to Itagaki Tuizhu. Ryoma didn't stop and didn't look back, he went straight to Hanpeita Takeshi's house in Tabuchi-cho, Shinmachi, and knocked on the door.The door opened immediately.Ryoma walked across the yard and came to the study.The room was still lit.Perhaps only Wushi's study room was still brightly lit in the middle of the night. "Dragon horse pays homage." After hearing this, the figure on the paper window swayed.Ryoma walked into the room, and the burly Hanpeita Takeichi was sitting there.Ryoma glanced at the room, his eyes widened in shock, and a strong man with a flushed face was sitting in the room.It was Shingo Nasu, a villager of Jihara.He was five or six years older than Ryoma, and he looked like a warrior in a painting, and he was a hero at first glance.His swordsmanship was learned from Ryoma's first teacher Hineno Benji, and his spear technique was taught by Iwasaki Jinzaemon, and his skills are quite good.His arm strength is even more astonishing. Shingo's nephew Count Mitsuaki Tanaka wrote about him in his memoir "Evening Talks on Restoration": He is six feet long, like a great man, with superb arm strength and agile feet.Putting strong gunpowder into ten muskets can not only hit a hundred shots, but also stand behind the guns, maintaining the old posture, motionless. It is said that my family forced me to study medicine at first.Although he kept a doctor's bald head as usual, he didn't pay attention to medical skills, but just studied martial arts.The villagers thought it was strange and talked about it behind their backs.But he uttered such bold words: "I want to heal the world, how can I do such trivial things as three cents a pack of medicine!" According to current regulations, doctors are paid three cents a pack of medicines. Soon after, he was spotted by Nasu Shunping, a local spearman in Qiyuan, and adopted as his adopted son.Junping's daughter's name is Dai, betrothed to Xinwu.The couple had two sons in succession.Shingo believed that he had fulfilled his duty as an adoptive son, and without discussing with his adoptive father, he left his feudal status and traveled among the nobles of various countries, eventually becoming one of the leaders of the Tenchu ​​Group, and later killed Yamato in battle. When Nasu Junping heard the news, he was very surprised, and wrote a poem: "Keep your second grandson as your support, and forget about your old age." Later, he also broke away from the vassal, and died in a fierce battle with Echizen vassal Koichiro Tsutsumi in the Battle of Hagomon in July of the first year of Genji. These are things for later. "Ryoma, I have something important to tell you." Takeichi Hanpeita said.This resolute warrior turned pale at this moment.Shingo Nasu, who was sitting carelessly stretching his legs, lost all color on his face.It seems that things are out of the ordinary. "What I'm going to tell you next, don't let it out." "Wait." Ryoma stood up. "where are you going?" "By the well." "What's the matter?" "Thirsty." After saying that, Ryoma walked out.What Ryoma can't stand the most is the sad atmosphere and sad expression, which is his temperament. What is it?Can't we just have a good time talking?Ryoma believes that pretending to be tragic is a bad habit of Takeshi, and it is also a bad habit of Tosa Township.The reason why he stood up and left was just to set back their so-called tragic feelings.There is also this kind of strategy in swordsmanship: first dampen the hostility, and then you can calm down and give advice to the country.But the two people who stayed in the study were in a different mood, completely opposite to Ryoma's expectations. "Ryoma doesn't take us seriously." Nasu said bluntly.He was very upset when he was frustrated after trying his best.Moreover, when other people's passion is high and they want to discuss important issues with each other, it is unreasonable for him to leave with an excuse. "Believe me, don't be angry, Ryoma has such a temperament." Although Wushi didn't think Ryoma was disrespectful, he began to regret it, and felt that he should not discuss important matters with such a "frivolous" person like Ryoma.But since the person has been called here, I can only tell him. When Ryoma came back, the faces of Takeshi and Nasu had changed drastically, and they became stiffer. Cough, it turned out that my method didn't work, so he sat down slowly. Ryoma was almost stunned by Nasu Shingo's first words: "Ryoma, on behalf of our comrades, I want to kill Yoshida Toyo who participated in politics. Ryoma, I will handle this matter. You should not object. I have already chosen Those who went with me: Yasuoka Kasuke, Oishi Danzo—” They were all violent dead soldiers, reminiscent of Tosa warriors in the Warring States Period. "Ban Pingtai, do you agree with him to do this?" "I didn't agree, but I can't stop it." "Isn't that the same? I disagree." "Do you disagree with the assassination of Yoshida?" "I don't agree with the assassination and your acquiescing attitude. Regarding this matter, can we discuss it after I come back from studying swordsmanship? Be patient first." "I can't bear it anymore, Ryoma, and I can't bear your attitude!" Nasu Shingo roared.Ryoma was also full of anger and didn't want to talk anymore. Shingo Nasu now wants to join the head of Toyo Yoshida in politics. "Kill Yoshida Toyo!" His tone was crazy.In his view, only by killing the leader of the Pro-Baku faction can the Tosa clan finally become the clan of King Qin. Killing is always an extreme practice.Just thinking of the word "murder" is enough to prove that this person's spirit has become paranoid, his heart is fanatical, and he can't listen to other people's words.Nasu Shingo is just like that now. "Both of you," Nasu Shingo said with red eyes, staring at Takeshi and Ryoma, "No matter what you two say, I will not change my mind. Although I, Nasu Shingo, am a poor man from the Qiyuan countryside, I have no money. No talent, humble and insignificant, but with a pure heart. Thinking of the world on the pillow, it is difficult to fall asleep, and every night is tossed until dawn. As long as Yoshida Toyo lives in the world, Tosa will be in darkness all day." What should the future of the Tosa domain be like?The purpose of Wu Shi and others to serve the king is to serve the imperial court with the power of 240,000 shi from the whole clan, that is, to gather rebels with Kyoto as the center, respect the king and fight against the barbarians. The 240,000 shi salary of the Yamauchi family, the lord of the Tosa feudal clan, was not granted by the imperial court, but was received from Tokugawa Ieyasu by the patriarch Yamauchi Kazutoyo for his meritorious service in the Sekigahara War.Tosa is different from Satsuma and Choshu. The Shimadzu family in Satsuma has been a local wealthy family since the Warring States period, while the Maori family in Changzhou had a great hero Motono in the early Warring States period.Neither of these two families received a single inch of land from the Tokugawa family, and their lack of affection for the shogunate was a matter of course.However, although Yamauchi is also a foreign daimyo, it was because of the rewards for meritorious service after the Sekigahara War that he jumped from 60,000 koku in Kakegawa to 240,000 koku in Tosa.According to Yoshida Toyo, it is: "Without Tokugawa, there would be no Yamauchi today. No matter who he is to, Yoshida always said that one should not be ungrateful. We are different from Satsuma and Changzhou, and we cannot act rashly." He is very stubborn, and even thinks that he His stubbornness is a virtue. "Men also have beauty, that is, even if it costs their lives, they must stick to their own ideas." "Motoyoshi has a talent." Even Fujita Higashiko, who has always been stingy with praise, said so, which shows that Yoshida Toyo should be a person with some talents and learning, so Takeichi Banheita's hesitation is precisely because of this: it is a pity to kill Toyo. .
