A few days later，Enomoto had been called on government forces headquarters.

"Whereabouts of Imperial prince."

We do not blame it of course.
Government troops leave the rebels for the monk of one person.
There can be no it.
But he is top of Tokugawa family temple.
He is an important person for Tokugawa.


Tokugawa looked for his whereabouts.

Therefore we were escort him to Hiragata of unrelated to war.

However，we are the Navy.
After he was landed at Hirakata.
We do not know at all about it.


And lately we were very hectic by disposal decision of Tokugawa.

We did not think that it is important matter.
So this notification to the government was delayed.
I apologize for its matter."

There is also this rumor."
　
"Is groundless."
Enomoto said.

"Please do not mind.
They are in a prickly mood now."
Escort of Enomoto said so.

Troops movement instructions to the Osaka and Koshu.
At the same time，this strange instructions were also issued suddenly.
Also merchants was asked to raise a large amount of medical supplies from the new government.
