Chronicles of The Hardships of Komachi in The Sengoku Era

As the rice harvest took place, Shizuko went out to secure something separate.

It's a nest box of nihon bees that I set up near a place I was too scared to get close to for a while.

It was a place where he was reunited with Vitman, but also where he was attacked by a burglar.

Once he reported to Nobunaga about the (Kurumoto) robbery, he sent soldiers after much outrage to eradicate a nearby area of the robbery.

He was terribly disturbed by the fact that he was working as a burglar on his lap.

Shizuko shuddered to think it was the shortness of the historical reality.

"Well, thanks to you, I'm relieved... it's complicated"

"What is it, village chief?

Tango, who brought him to collect honey, asks as he leans his neck.

Seemed to hear Shizuko talking to herself, but didn't seem to know what she meant until then.

"Yeah, it's nothing. Are you better prepared than that?

"It's no problem. But are you sure you're okay...?

With that said, Tango sees a certain direction with chills.

The more silly it was to count there anymore, the nihon bees were flying around.

It is not impossible for Tango to fall back.

"It's okay, it's okay. Now, let's start with the hinoki leaves."

"Are you all right? Really..."

Worried, Tango arranges the hinoki-based leaves prepared by Shizuko on top of the seven wheels he prepared in advance.

Immediately the leaves are heated, but a large amount of smoke was generated because they are raw leaves that are not dry.

Send the smoke in with a fan to those with a nest box of nihon bees.

Immediately a change was created in the Nihon bee.

The nihon bee that was flying around the perimeter escaped into the nest like a panic.

Less than five minutes later, the nihon bees that were flying outside the hive were reduced in number enough to be counted.

"Next, take this..."

When holding the seven wheels in his hand, Shizuko places it near the nest box.

The smoking leaves were then added and the amount of smoke increased.

Immediately the smoke was sufficient to cover the nesting box, so the slightly remaining nihon bees also went into the nesting box.

"Now we're ready."

"Wow..."

Tango turns a respectful eye to Shizuko, who momentarily drove the nihon bee into the nest box.

Shizuko went here using smoke to make the mistake that there was a mountain fire in the Nihon bee.

If you make a mistake, nihon bees have the habit of storing more honey as food.

This can secure honey for overwintering and calm the bees.

When the bees are full, their aggressiveness and behavior diminish together and they stop trying to move out of their nests.

This makes it easy to move the hive without protective clothing or other anti-bee gear.

"Next time we need to find the queen bee. Oh, Mr. Tango, please prepare the heavy box."

Roger that.

When the seven wheels are turned aside, Shizuko gently cones the corners of the heavy box.

Then disassemble the nest box and look for the queen bee.

Outreach It was easy to find and mixed in the nesting box where the heavy box was newly installed.

By doing so, a working bee who sensed the Queen's bee move is thinking of moving there.

Since there is a nest in the heavy box again, the bee thinks about making up for the nest he put on.

From the old hive, the nihon bees moved one after the other.

Shizuko, who thought he had moved more or less, collects all the bottom boxes and heavy boxes.

And when I put a new bottom box on the table, I assembled the nest box with a hand that Tango was so used to admiring.

Before it was enough, a brand new nesting box was installed on the spot.

"I think that's it."

"Wow... what is this?

Tango asks, looking strangely at the heavy box in the cage.

"What a nesting plate, I can take honey from this. Is that about three kilometers?

"Yes? Honey......?

"Uh, well, it's a precious drug. I thought I'd dedicate myself to the pavilion and ask what I couldn't do."

"Ha..."

"It's nice to enjoy some flavor, but it's dangerous to consume this poorly."

Honey is composed of about 80% sugar and 20% moisture in nature's sweetest honey.

It also contains only a few nutrients, such as vitamins and minerals, but is basically high in sugar.

But no matter what, the biggest advantage of honey would be its bactericidal properties, which allow for long-term preservation.

Honey has a strong bactericidal effect, so much so that there is a record that three thousand years old honey was excavated from the Egyptian pyramid, but it was not degenerate at all.

Because it does not always need to be consumed, it can also be used to disinfect wounds using sterilization.

(Well, in this day and age, I don't think I get diabetes from an overdose of honey...)

"Ma, you don't have to go to war because of the village chief, so this is important, too. I'll hold on!

"There are two more nesting boxes, but we'll do our best to collect them -"

After raising their voices, Shizuko and Tagoku similarly collected nesting plates from the two remaining nesting boxes.

The amount of honey harvested was about ten kilograms, but Shizuko thought it was still an excellent achievement because the honey harvest was poor originally for nihon bees.

Shizuko, who has finished harvesting soybeans other than those whose harvest time is winter, will put rice mounds, vegetables, honey and other offerings on the carrier.

After everything is loaded, signal the soldiers of Nobunaga, the escort of the waiting carrier, to leave.

Since the cargo volume is different from last year's, we asked Nobunaga's soldiers to escort us in order to keep us safe even on a few hours' journey.

Sell this year's offerings and you will have tremendous wealth.

Shizuko knew about it more than anything else, so I cautiously overlaid it.

Is it because of this? Nothing happened on the road, and we arrived at Komakiyama Castle, where Nobunaga is located.

But there was no way I could see him right away every time, and he made me feel better, and then he made me change into a heavy outfit.

But every time, without thinking too deeply, Shizuko waited until Nobunaga showed up.

After waiting for a while, suddenly Dosdos and an awesome footsteps reached Shizuko's ear.

The moment I turned my face towards the entrance, wondering, the entrance was opened with momentum.

Shizuko stretched her spine unexpectedly, as it seemed to break.

It was Nobunaga Oda who was beyond Fusuma.

Unlike usual, however, the ghost also had such an angry look that he seemed to run barefoot.

Nobunaga approaches Shizuko with a big strand, who doesn't know why.

And he shook his fist bone down Shizuko's head silently.

"Munchkin '!

Shizuko, who got a fist bone, gets bored while holding her aching head down with both hands.

But the outfit was heavy, and she couldn't move her body as she thought.

If I hadn't cared about the place, I would have wandered around on the spot.

It was such a painful fist bone.

"This is a big lie. If you're bringing a mound like that, say so from the start!

"Yes, no! Hey, wait a minute! What the hell are you talking about -!?

Shizuko screaming so, but no response from Nobunaga and an additional fist bone swung down.

Shizuko tried to escape reality and forget the pain during the warring age of bouldering male and female inferiority, a relentless iron fist against a woman.

But what hurts hurts.

"Ooh, the hall. Please calm your anger. Let's start with Lord Shizuko."

While Shizuko was stuffy holding her aching head, someone else came in between glances.

The voice alone can tell who it is. Near Nobunaga, Kasei Mori.

I saw Kasei Mori desperately persuading Nobunaga, who was a ghost face when he raised his face in tears.

There were times when he was able to exude anger by dropping words close to the boulder and fist bones, and Nobunaga regained some calm.

"... Shizuko, let me explain. That big mound."

Say no. Forcing Shizuko, who is sitting back, to stand, Nobunaga moves as she drags her.

What a strange sight followed Kesei Mori, a troubled face.

The place where she arrived, forced to move for a while, was Zuo.

Shizuko understood that it was a place or something to store tax-paid rice to see where rice mounds were located nearby.

"Because of that mound of chemicals, I can't decide how many I'm going to keep. It will also take some time to replace them all now. Okay, Shizuko. I need you to explain exactly why you carried it on that mound."

"Oh, uh, yes. Isn't the mound that size...?

Shizuko immediately came to mind one sixty kilometers, seventy-five centimeters wide and forty-seven centimeters in diameter, if they were to say mound.

But in fact, there are several types of mounds: thirty kilometers, twenty kilometers, ten kilometers.

Shizuko, who had completely lost consciousness of the matter, packed all the rice into a 60-kilometer mound and carried it.

I didn't have enough straw to make the mound, until I paid the effort to turn my hands around and get the straw I didn't have enough.

But her efforts were vain and Nobunaga's collection was thirty kilometers, and the half-mound, as we call it in modern times, was decided.

Shizuko, who understood so much, looks again at the rice mound made by purposefully turning her hand and collecting straw.

It was an overwhelming presence.

Even though it only loaded three, it was so intimidating that it could be seen from afar.

Nobunaga describes it as a mound.

Because the thirty kilometers of rice mound next door look as small as a baby.

"Is that size your common sense? Well, then answer me how many holdings you need to keep that number."

"Yes?

"Didn't you hear that? Store the rice mound you delivered, answer some questions."

Answer the number of Zuo, Nobunaga says, but in fact, he tells Shizuko to calculate some Zuo to be built.

She panicked all of a sudden, but takes a deep breath and manages to regain her calm.

"Uh... sorry, how many holdings do you not use right now? After that, how many rice mounds do you put in one collection?

"... there must have been about one extra zoo. And in Izo, 120 rice mounds enter."

"Yes, thank you. Um... please wait while I calculate."

Shizuko, who gets the information she wants to ask roughly, takes the stick of the tree she's using out of her sleeve instead of a pencil.

She writes to the ground instead of a notebook when calculating or thinking about various proposals.

I was always carrying a stick of wood with just a little pointy ahead in that relationship.

When held in hand, Shizuko writes the formula on the ground.

(Yep... my rice mound is 60 km. The rice mound of the hall is 30 km......? Let's just calculate with that. So, going in 120 pieces in Ichizo means only half of my rice mound goes in. Simply think about it. If you have Erzo, you'll go in.)

Nobunaga had only one set of rice mounds available because there were hundreds of rice mounds to be delivered by Shizuko.

However, since the size of the rice mound delivered was twice the prescribed size, it was no longer possible to enter in Ichizo.

That's all I'm talking about, so it wasn't actually that hard.

You can simply calculate it and store it in a single store of 50 mounds at a time.

And in the extra space, if you store the other rice mounds, it's fine.

(Since 30 km is 120 pieces, the storage capacity is 3600 km. If I put 50 60km mounds in it, 300km. There will be about 600 kilos, so it would be nice to store 20 rice mounds of 30 kilos)

Shizuko thought it was actually not that simple, but it would be some guide.

The main thing is my rice mound, so there is possibly less of an extra 30km of rice mound that I can put in.

I had no choice but to ask for an ad hoc one there.

"Yes, I understand. I'll use two of them. Please give me 50 rice mounds that I have handed over to a single collection. Please pay me 20 original rice mounds at a time because I can only get a little free space. I don't know if I can fit all 20 of them, so if I can't, please adjust the number."

Satisfied that the calculation was done beautifully, Shizuko turns to Nobunaga after paying the dirt on her hand.

But when she realizes that her attitude was too frank, she hurries to correct her posture and lays flat.

But Nobunaga never reacted to Shizuko's words, let alone got angry with his attitude.

I was just looking at the letters that Shizuko wrote on the ground, with a complex expression.

formula, it said:

"30x120 = 3600 km... a

A - (60x50) = 600 km... B

B/30 = 20... C

Fifty large mounds and twenty mounds in Ichizo '
