## Plot

Masanori Honda is the owner of Fujieda and Tanaka Castle, and is also called "Cat Honda" because when he drinks alcohol, he becomes quiet like a borrowed cat. It has been. A banquet will be held at the upper mansion in Kojimachi on this day as well, but it is said that three cups of sake can no longer be drunk. Suddenly, Hayato Tadashi looked under the window, and a thirty-two or three-year-old fish-selling man was sitting on a stone, pouring sake into a drink. Hayato Tadashi, who was curiously looking at the water drink, told his servants to call a fishmonger inside the mansion, and the two met. He is called Sotaro and says he has a wife and a son. Sotaro drinks the served sake one after another. Hayato Tadashi asks about the water drink that Shotaro is hanging on his waist, and Sotaro begins to talk. Before he was born, an old man and his daughter's seed lived in a place called Oshu Komakiyama Tokuhonji. At that time, there was a battle between Tokugawa and Hideyoshi, and Tokugawa's fallen warriors fled here and there. A young warrior rushes to Tokuhonji Temple and takes care of the old man and the seed, but in the meantime, the warrior and the seed make a mistake, and the warrior says, "If a child is born at a later date, prove this." He gave him two drinks and left without saying his name. The seed was born by Sotaro, but he died the following year, and Sotaro was raised by an old man. It is said that the old man handed him a drink at this time, and Sotaro relied on it to go out to Edo and search for his father.

　Hayato Tadashi listened to Sotaro's story with his eyes closed. He says he was the warrior at that time and Sotaro's father. However, because his status is too different, Sotaro, who has a short temper, begins to get angry when he tells him that he cannot claim to be his father. Hayato Tadashi says that he will give 50 stones to the temple where the seeds and the old man were buried. In addition, he told Sotaro that he would quit the fishmonger from tomorrow and become a side servant of Hayato Tadashi and call himself Honda Sotaro. Also, when Sotaro's son turns 20, he will give 200 stones as a branch house. The next day, I met Hayato Tadashi, Sotaro, my wife, and my three sons. His son, Sokichi, became a Hatamoto at the age of 20, and set up a branch of Honda in Nibancho, Horibata as Honda Sokichi. Since his father was a fishmonger, the family crest was made upside down with two sea breams, and the house prospered until the end of Tokugawa's world.
