Chronicles of The Hardships of Komachi in The Sengoku Era

When Shizuko made a bomb statement to Odd Maru, a shrine god was sneezing grandly.

"Nooo, someone's rumouring"

My feet are blurred as I rinse my nose. There were two cats round his feet like that.

Satisfaction was rooted in the cat who had lived in the shrine since sometime and had initially driven it away but still decided to leave it alone to the cat who was sitting in the shrine.

Cats are like brothers and always together. Sometimes I saw if I had more company or if I was with a three-haired cat or a black cat, but other than my brothers, I wasn't always with them.

"Brothers. Phew, my brother is in trouble with a bottomless abalone. No longer has the power to rule the world in its footsteps. I can't believe you don't understand that."

Not because I learned my own post-mortem history in modern times. Satisfaction realized that when he was attacked, the General's family was destined to perish as soon as possible.

If you are politically driven off the General's throne, you are still rebellious by the despicable means of assassination, and your surroundings remain silent in their actions.

It is not impossible to be told that this only exists in form, such as a general.

That's why I'm not willing to forgive you for trying to kill me.

"Cats and sunshine do a lot of cute things"

As I thought about it, my voice flew to the lid. Satisfaction did not turn to you and sighed small.

"I'm trying to figure out how to kill these idiots."

"It's a mess."

The person who spoke up, he shrugged his shoulder with a loose expression. And when he sits next to him, as a matter of course, he puts out a pottery stopper from his nose.

"I got good liquor. Why don't you drink the sky to your dishes?

"... If you don't drink anyway, you'll drink it on your own. Whatever you want."

"Well, let me do what I want."

That said, I took out two cups for a long time ago and poured liquor on each of them. When you silently take the cup in your hand, your satisfaction pours in about half at once in silence.

"It's not in your interest to hang out with me."

"The damage account is pure to talk to a friend. In the first place, if all I ask for is interest, I won't bother to take a trip here"

"... makes sense"

After whining, Satisfaction drinks up his glass. Pours liquor in the cup that turns out to be calla while the previous one grins. When the liquor was filled, Satisfaction poured the liquor into the previous cup as a return.

Long ago he utters words as he smiles even more.

"The reason I'm upset is still Lord Shizuko?

Momentarily, my satisfaction solidified with the cup on my mouth. After a few seconds, Satisfaction, who regained his emotional compass, dried (ho) the cup after a glance at the previous time.

"... There have recently been many Takeda interlocutors. Even close to Shizuko. As soon as we find it, it's over, but there's never any sign of diminishing. Oda seems to consolidate his protection at the Mansion, but why doesn't he realize that mobilizing a lot gives him an extra gap to get in!

Did you feel it? Satisfaction grips the cup. I wonder what you would say about rushing through angry hair heaven, next to angry contentment tilted the cup to relaxation for a long time before.

"If you're so worried, you should leave here and go under Shizuko."

"If I could do that, I wouldn't have a hard time. I can't move out of here because I'm in trouble."

"That's a tricky thing to do."

That's how I drink up a long time ago. Meanwhile, frustration does not subside Satisfaction tries to control his emotions by biting off his own nails. but was largely ineffective, staring forward with a sharp gaze

A weak-minded person would shrink into an atmosphere that could be described as a willingness to kill that exudes contentment, but the long before he even held the position of bull-hearted Kanbai in the enchanting, travelling temple of Fu Dynasty, he was flushing with the wind and a cool face all over the willow.

"Look, don't look like that. Apparently, it's like a visitor."

With a thin grin, Forward Long points in a direction with his jaw. There stood a man in a slightly rough outfit, but with two swords on his hips.

"Well, were you taking it in?

The man, Shizuko, put his head on the back as he murmured such a thing in a relaxed voice.

Nobunaga and several ministers gathered together in a place with tailings, where there was no shelter around them, and where there was no shade from which men were likely to be hidden.

The surroundings are guarded by the sergeants of Shizuko and Kwang-soo's children to keep their distance and surround them, people have no room for one gray cat child to stand in.

The Hound Squad and the guards are also on guard, so it's a place to bring them in for a secret discussion.

The ministers gathered were Akechi Mitsuo, Hanbei Takenaka, Kosei Mori, Satoshi, and Shizuko.

If we gather more than eight people, the information will be leaked from somewhere, so we gathered the right people to discuss the future in less than a few people.

"Phew, now I'm surprised by the boulders"

Nobunaga, who is in his seat, whines with a grin. Mitsui, Hanbei Takenaka and Kesei Mori had their expressions solidified, but Satisfaction and Shizuko were all calm faces. After coughing up and changing the air, Shizuko utters words.

"First of all, thank you for adopting the same measures as I did last year. Thanks to you (...) I was played (...) losing as planned (...). And I attacked Kanji Temple, and now I'm in a (...) state to bring out Takeda"

The reason the three faces are hard, that's that last year's defeat was set up from the beginning. But, although surprised at first, they soon realize that there is.

The main warlords were only wounded, and not one of them was killed. There are many traitors out there, but the capable warlord is at Nobunaga's disposal.

"I don't mind. I found value in your measures. That's all we're talking about."

"Thank you. Happiness. I also applied a single defeat to all the heavy ministers. I have done very little damage, but this will also eventually win the Oda family. Please stand down to acknowledge."

"No, winning or losing is a constant part of a soldier's house. I was good at what I said earlier, so don't be bothered."

Although the expression is still stiff, Kasei Mori answers that if you understand the situation and are satisfied with it. Caught by it, Mitsui and Hanbei Takenaka also nod small.

Seeing the attitude of the three of them, Shizuko spreads the paper she had put aside when she smiled well at people.

"The first Tripartite Gahara Taiji survey gave us a lot of good information. This puts Takeda increasingly at a disadvantage. Well, it's going to hit the whole army to hide the disadvantage. I thought maybe 30,000."

"Thirty thousand!

Unexpectedly Mitsui raises her voice. Takeda Army 30,000 was such a threat that calm and sedentary Mitsui disrupted it. Shizuko, however, gently flushes Mitsuko's worries.

"Those who rely on numbers drown in numbers, yes. 30,000 is indeed a threat. But because they have weaknesses, that's how many they have to challenge."

Takeda family fighting doctrines are not often bizarre tactics, many to a lesser extent with slight improvements to the basics, with tactical aspects such as red readiness, army surfaces such as yuru arrowheads, engineer sieges and single-wing sieges, and tough methods of warfare.

The pure strength of the Takeda soldiers there and the quality of the warlords they lead are the biggest weapons of the Takeda army. Therefore, being strong in the field, Shingen has suffered only two tactical defeats in his lifetime.

It is said that the reason Takeda soldiers are strong is because the harsh living environment in Koshu produces plagiarized and difficult soldiers.

Takeda soldiers are tough warriors for each and every one, as there are words: "Each Mitsugawa soldier is comparable to three Oozhang soldiers" and "Each Kozhou soldier is comparable to five Oozhang soldiers".

Among them, the famous "Takeda's Red Preparation" gathered elite soldiers. It is the strongest unit of the Warring States era, founded by Iifu Huchang and inherited by his younger brother Changjing, Shan Prefecture, after his death.

This Takeda red team is Takeshi Muto and later Changyuki Maida.

The Red Readiness, which flatly destroys ten times more enemies, created a later Red Readiness Elite Myth. In response to this myth, Tokugawa's most powerful unit, "Iyi's Red Readiness", and "Maida's Red Readiness", led by Maida, were born.

But Takeda's army, which is famous for being the strongest in the Warring States, has no weaknesses either. The most famous point is the "weakness of the position of the Takeda family owner".

The minister's voice is strong and feudal, but it is close to oligarchy, and it is not a system in which the chief gives discretion and the minister accepts.

Also, because most of the reasons Shingen Takeda was fast advancing were due to the achievements and dedication of competent men, the culture of independence has not become strongly tied around the Lord.

Furthermore, Shingen's foreign policy, which embodies a weak predatory diet, was unable to foster credibility with his allied opponents because of his betrayal and continued territorial aggression at the moment when the opponent weakened, even when he had an alliance, and he was constantly pregnant with the risk of being scratched in the neck.

For this reason, long-term appearances could not be intermediate and the need to decide on wins and losses in a short period of time was pressing. Even in historical fact, after Shingen Takeda's death, Seung-yu became the feather to pay for this tsuke.

The ministerial corps also had weaknesses.

It is said that Shingen listened to the Minister's opinion and that the important thing was that he had discussed and decided with the Minister, but this was close to a system of consultation, and although he was an excellent leader, he could also be said to have been corrupt in taking up the grudges between ministers as chairman and mediator.

In other words, Shingen didn't have much help to stop even when the ministers mocked each other. In any case, the ministers are small nations with their own territories and soldiers, each with the power to fight.

If we did not act on the opinions of everyone, there was also the possibility of a traitor coming out.

It was Shinto who tried to break this state, but the opportunity to strengthen the dictatorship of the Takeda family owner was lost because his son, Shingen, had banished this.

The last point is that we have not been able to break out of the old military system. The soldier to be mobilized is a combination of farmers and ground samurai, with an equal gear ratio of artillery.

It is unclear whether he hated artillery, which would eliminate the difference between weak and strong soldiers, or whether it was just a lack of funds, but Takeda soldiers were very poorly equipped with artillery anyway.

Five years after the artillery tradition, this can also be said to be the idea of Nobunaga and the opposite pole, which have found potential for a new era in artillery.

"Takeda is a strong enemy. That's why we defeat them counter-attack and skinless with maximum mobilization. There's no way to get rid of this and break the Oda siege net that Hondo Temple is laying today."

Even if Uesugi, Hojo, etc. have mutual powers, defeating Takeda shocks most people who participate in the Oda Siege Network.

Asai and Asakura can, of course, chop down the people who cooperate with Hondo Temple. So much so that Takeda was a big name and an important part of the anti-Oda forces.

"Can I ask you one question?

Hanbei Takenaka, who has been silent until now, speaks out his doubts. I had a calm expression, but I felt compelled not to say whether or not.

"I can say that Lord Shizuko's measures have a good flow. But you have not been shown the basis on which you can defeat Takeda. What power do you intend to use to convince you that you can defeat 30,000 strong Takeda soldiers?"

That's what Nobunaga also felt. There are no questions about the explanation, there is no discomfort in chronological order, and it may be said that the actions that the Takeda army can take are predicted.

But that's all. Shizuko's story about how to defeat the opposing Takeda army was missing a key part.

"I will use some weapons (...), but it will be I who make the most of them (...)"

Next to Shizuko's indulgence in answering the question of Hansan Takenaka, Satisfaction put up a new fireline gun to show around.

"It's a new type developed by me and Uncle Satoshi that will fit a few times longer than the current one into the effective range."

A new type of fire rope gun is a gun based on a Sharps military carbine that captures the advantages of a number of guns, including an Enfield gun and a Winchester M1873 carbine.

The effective range is 830 meters, the firing speed is nine shots per minute, the weight is 4,6 kilograms, the initial speed is 420 m/s, and the bullet is a method of trapping only one paper drum casing.

When smokeless gunpowder is used, the initial speed becomes more than 600 m/s and the gunpowder used is brown gunpowder because the lead melts.

Paper pods employ modern, common center-fired detonators. After firing, the burning cushion of brown powder adheres to the paper, which has the advantage of reducing dirt in the barrel.

Simply calculated, we can shoot at least nine people in less than a minute, and if we have 100 dings, we can shoot 900 people in a minute. Targeting enemies a few hundred meters away makes it possible to do great damage before they approach.

It should be noted that the actual packet using smokeless gunpowder was too fast, causing the melting of lead from the friction heat, if only a few rounds were fired, it would have to be blocked with bullets, and worst of all, the barrel burst, causing the shooter to become dangerous. A method of solving this problem is coated steel bullets (full metal jackets).

However, coated steel bullets are expensive to process over time, and there is a history of substituting them with poor performance brown powder and paper pods without being able to employ them as ammunition (soybean) that needs to be prepared in number.

"You're done!

Nobunaga rises momentum as he screams. Shizuko, whose hips were accidentally drawn to the atmosphere that seemed to take away the new flash gun, receives the new flash gun from satisfaction when she coughs it up.

"The details are secret, but I spent all the technology I could have. I have imported some from Nanban, but they don't seem to realize the value of things. Most of all thanks to this, it is cheaper to get it, just like platinum."

Very expensive metal platinum in modern times, but in the age of great voyages it was treated like fake silver and large quantities of platinum were discarded into the sea.

The reason for this was that it was mistaken for and looted back from silver, which was rarely valued in Europe at the time, but never dissolved in processing equipment for silver.

That, too, should be about 960 degrees of silver melting point, but about 1770 degrees of platinum melting point. It is impossible to dissolve nearly twice as much different platinum in a silver processing facility.

Regardless, that doesn't change the static child either, but she processed the platinum utilizing the very hard to oxidize properties of the platinum.

After being processed in powder form, it was merely molded into an easy to store extension rod using the technique of powder metallurgy.

Considerable quantities were gathered thanks to the spread of talk to Spanish and Portuguese merchants that Japan would buy silver that would not dissolve.

I knew I was being ridiculed because of how they were doing, but Shizuko didn't care yet because it was more convenient to be fooled.

It's cheap because you can get a huge amount of platinum to the point of pretending to be fooled.

"Let me show you the performance for a second. For that reason, Master Akechi, I'd like a little help."

"... I understand"

After both sides are ready, Nobunaga and the others move to the test site to check the performance of the firearms. This was where shooting targets were prepared up to an ultra-long distance of as much as 1 km.

Shizuko the boulder also has no firing capability to hit a target 1 km away, but was prepared to measure the maximum range.

"Let's start with Master Akechi"

Kwang-soo, they say, holds a conventional volcano gun and shoots out a foot-square target from 21 places (about 38 meters). It can be described as remarkable skill given the performance of the then volcano guns and bullets.

Shizuko didn't think it was a lie when he served in Yoshiyoshi Asakura when he talked about hitting a square foot from 25 years ago (about 45 meters).

"The boulder is Master Akechi. Now take a look at the performance of the new volcano gun"

Shizuko sets up a gun when she loads a paper pod on the Sharps gun.

Nobunaga and his men couldn't understand what Shizuko was doing because of the way the bullets were loaded so differently.

But Shizuko triggered it before speaking to Shizuko. Momentary moments, when I wondered if there had been an explosion, the one-foot-square target that was 61 minutes away (about 110 meters) was scattered.

"Phew...... (Oh, good. I kept explaining it with my face, so I'm not ashamed of myself if I remove it)"

Shizuko exhales ho for a brilliant hit, though not as planned. But the Nobunaga was not the place to be. Obviously I hit more than double the distance.

It's in a straight line, too. Fire rope guns often fly in all directions because the bullet is a sphere and the power is considerable but swings left and right inside the barrel when fired.

Flying a bullet straight is therefore a tricky move. But Shizuko's fire rope gun did it somehow. I can't help but be surprised that Nobunaga, who was studying the fire-rine gun early.

"Cohon, as you can see"

Shizuko coughs and changes the air to Nobunaga, who is sloppily opening his mouth. Did the understanding finally follow, Nobunaga shakes his head gently as he tightens his expression.

"... I am convinced that I can defeat Takeda. Shizuko, mass-produce that spark gun as much as you can, if you have any gold, it's going to come out."

"Ha!"

Nobunaga nodded satisfactorily in Shizuko's reply. Mitsui, Hanbei Takenaka, and Kasei Mori are not without question.

However, I was swallowing my doubts because of the lack of merit of what you ask me here. Though there were possibilities that I could not understand when I was explained the reason.

Anyway, because he won the budget from Nobunaga, Shizuko decided to take a year to manufacture a new type of firerope gun in earnest. In view of the intermediate measures, a method for producing and finally assembling each part shall be adopted.

Thereafter, various discussions were held and they were dissolved. Shizuko became the commander-in-chief of a substantial Takeda battle, but nominally Odd Maru becomes the commander-in-chief.

Shizuko accepted Nobunaga's opinion because he might not be able to move on because he was at the top.

From now on, Shizuko will discuss the tactics of the Battle of Takeda with Hanbei Takenaka, with the help of Mitsuyuki's Iron Artillery Squad, and train soldiers with Kosei Mori.

I get busy, but this battle is what shapes the fate of the Oda family, so I couldn't do anything half-baked.

"Tired -"

Shizuko shrugs as she rubs her own shoulder. I kept explaining it with no more or face, so I can't even look at it if this is a result that doesn't fit my attitude. Shizuko felt a little depressed because she had a lot to do.

"... is it good to keep your example story quiet"

After a short walk, he asks about his satisfaction. Shizuko, who understands what she's talking about, takes something out of her nostalgia with a bitter smile.

"You wouldn't know that this is a secret weapon on a boulder, would you?

What Shizuko took out, it was a folding umbrella commonly sold in modern times.

"... me, Mitsuko, and Shizuko's folding umbrella. Enough."

"Right. Steady, why did they all have folding umbrellas? Especially wondering what Mitsuya had."

It was an extremely short period of time, but my satisfied face was distorted bitterly. I don't know if Shizuko tried to know what she didn't want to know, or if Shizuko said what she didn't want to know.

What is certain is that there are three folding umbrellas for Shizuko, which is merely a question, but for Satisfaction, it is a known circumstance that Shizuko does not want to be informed about.

When you let your feelings calm down, Satisfaction puts his hand on Shizuko's shoulder with an unparalleled look.

"Anyone in those days, such as folding umbrellas, should have it. If you're ready, don't worry."

"That's right. Sudden rain and all that."

Shizuko, who was not a big question, misses the folding umbrella when she is convinced by the words of contentment. Satisfaction squealed the words that were in her heart as she sighed small in an invisible position.

(Sorry, Shizuko. But I... I don't want to see your crying face again)

In late November, the cold became more severe and the time available for outdoor activities was shorter. Shizuko was forced to cancel the topographical survey because more humans fell ill in the survey of Triangara Taiji.

Gao Tiger returned after completing the investigation, followed by Celebration and Long Ke, who ended their borrowing. However, Shizuko's house was undergoing major renovations and they were also forced to sleep in a temporary place for Shizuko.

Most celebrations were celebrations wherever they lived. It was just their dissatisfaction not to take a bath easily.

Shizuko, who took the premise that the budget was blue ceiling from Nobunaga, ordered each of them to produce a huge number of parts in disregard of the budget. After that, Shizuko's job is only to achieve results against Takeda.

Everything was moving as Shizuko thought. The Honshoji Temple, the Nanjoji Temple, Takeda, Uesugi, and Tokugawa. All this time, all the forces were dancing on Shizuko's hands.

Shizuko had written a reply to many sentences in winter while keeping an eye on trends across all forces.

I guess it's because I'm indoors more often in the cold, she thought, but the other side was just choosing the time of year and putting out the sentence because if it was winter, it would be early reply from Shizuko.

"Steady, I feel like the number of sentence opponents is increasing year after year...?

Hideyoshi, Hanbei Takenaka, Shibata, Tanyu, Sazo, Rika Maeda and other famous warlords such as Hideyoshi Ikeda, Shinseng Sakuma, Hideyoshi Hayashi, and Hideyoshi Hori also began to receive sentences around this time.

Occasionally they also come from minor warlords whose names are not sold at all, but most of them are pretty much just well-known sellers within the ministry.

As I recall, Fujitaka Hoshikawa sends a Japanese song about turkish angora as a thick booklet along with a sentence.

Historical material is first-class, and the person with that hand would want one so much that he could get his hand out of his throat. However, for Shizuko, it is a long time to read, so it was a substitute for being able to write this much better every time.

"Oh, are you here again in a sentence?

Celebrating in a dressing appearance spoke to Shizuko, while lowering his hips nearby, he did not hesitate to take a sentence nearby.

For a moment, I thought that my privacy was Shizuko, but since all the sentences that arrived at Shizuko had been censored and didn't say anything that would be difficult to see now, I decided not to care.

I can also say that I simply can't afford to think because of the large number of replies.

"If you're free, ask for someone from the city"

"Ha ha, you can't deal with that Grandma Horse princess on me"

Returning the letter to its original place, Kyung Jing gently waved and recieved it.

The city was only grown up at first. I was an adult, rather than too selfish to be accustomed to a different living environment, so I was in a state of being full of hands.

But once I got used to life, I started showing interest in Nobunaga's real sister, that and the things around me.

The samurai's words and all that. Sometimes I took a flurry walk by myself. Shizuko, who thought it was dangerous for the boulder, thought to send Nobunaga a sentence to pay attention to it.

"Sounds like a city. He bears the blame himself. Throw it away. '

But the sentence returned was short, and Shizuko was the one that bothered her head. I can understand from the sentence that the city's behavior is not bizarre, but from the beginning it is such a character.

Apart from being convinced that it was understandable, Shizuko ordered the gatekeeper not to go through the city because he would have trouble walking outside on his own anyway.

"Even though winter needs to verify this year's development... I'm in trouble"

A feeling of great fatigue, Shizuko accidentally leaks her little sigh out of her mouth.

Shizuko's development plan basically wins a budget from January to February, and by April he will put together a plan and place an order in the technical district.

After that, Shizuko will conduct military operations in accordance with Nobunaga, leaving the progress from September to October, when the rice will be harvested. After the harvest is complete, ask how each plan is progressing and if it is delayed, make a breakdown.

If completed, receive the verifier and carry out a final check. If it passes with Shizuko's verification, it will clear up and the plan will be completed, and the project will be terminated with detailed post-processing.

This is the flow of planning because Nobunaga's military operations are concentrated over the spring and summer. The reason why Shizuko tends to cage at home in the winter also affects the fact that it is an idleness and relatively easy to take time to verify.

"... I wondered why I wanted to make bakers and octopus bakers and Imagawa bakers (which have multiple nicknames as large bakes and double bakes and your throne). If you can go back in time, you want to punch me in the face."

This year, plans were drawn up for eight things: mirrors, magnets, hexameters, rangefinders (soakers), day clock compasses, various circular calculators, mechanical marine chronometers, and sterling engines.

Mirrors, magnets, hexameters, rangefinders, day clock compasses and various circular calculators only went into the mass production system, so no major problems arose that far.

Mechanical marine chronometers take time to stabilize on ships and have not even been put into the manufacture of prototypes yet. The Sterling engine is simply a repetition of trial and error, so progress was not good.

Still, there was no out-of-the-box problem, so Shizuko ordered additional glass for the bulb.

Then a little while later, I don't know what I thought, but Shizuko wanted to. I ordered the development of a baking and octopus baker, Imagawa baker. It goes without saying that the verifier arrived recently and Shizuko held her head.

"You're a seed of discord all over the house, so it's better not to make it."

"My uncle was in the crushing faction."

It's a celebration to say with laughter, but as Shizuko, I didn't feel like it. Anyway, "Amen" 's preference is close to taboo. Poor demeaning of other "Amen" can cause heavy town thunder to fall. It is the mess of lamb that came out as it were.

The ram riots divided the majority of humans into koshi or crusher factions. Most of them were Matcha, Tanyu and Kasei Mori were teak, Takigawa and Sakuma, Lin was salt, Nobunaga was chestnut and preference were subdivided.

Among the two major factions, Shibata was the head of the Koshi-An faction, and Hideyoshi and the very easy fighters were the heads of the Tsubaman faction.

That's not all. Shibata was unnecessarily unforgivable because his best friend Rika Maeda went to the crusher faction and Hideyoshi was his brother Hideyoshi and Hanbei Takenaka were the Koshi faction.

It should be noted that when Hideyoshi found out he was a Koshian, Hideyoshi said he zeroed a dialogue similar to when Kaesar condemned the betrayal of the belly-hearted brutus.

"I'm good with anything. Good things matter."

"If that's all the split up, I wouldn't have had that argument."

There can be no modern or unresolved crusher party vs. Koshi Amino controversy, or settlement during the Warring States period, and the two had also met at the Oozhang and Minokawa Willow competitions held by Shizuko.

"It's good to make it, but not today. Without you, Tea Maru would be angry again if I made it."

How much did you enjoy being left out of company at the last salt pot grill, Odd Maru is shouting sour at her mouth "Be sure to call me next time" whenever her luggage arrives at Shizuko lately.

Therefore, if you make the grill you want while you go to Nobunaga today, now it is time to bend the navel and persevere.

Shizuko sent out an early horse to Gifu because he was so troublesome when he persisted. The content merely asks when Odd Maru's return home is, but this will call for misfortune for Shizuko.

The next day, a large quantity of beans (azuki) and sugar is delivered to Shizuko instead of the early horse. Shizuko, who had a bad feeling, reads the enclosed sentence. In the text, Nobunaga, the clan, and the whole family participate in the taste.

The reason why large quantities of beans and sugar were sent is that it makes sense to participate in so large a number of people. Then there was a further problem.

"Shizuko started to do the concubine."

It was the dark princess who never showed herself before that delivered the beans and sugar. She walks in relentlessly, like someone else's house with a no-access sign.

Even though I didn't expect it to work, Shizuko had a slight headache.

"It's not like I'm a loser."

"Well good. I hear you've been shopping for birds lately? That strangely black bird is one of them, huh?

Dark Princess asks as she points to a certain chicken with a fan.

Now the bird that Shizuko adores is a chicken breed called Uchi Bone Chicken (Uchi). It possesses a peculiar characteristic not found in other chickens: black to the bone, as the name suggests.

The origin is still unknown, but historically the variety is famous for its Chinese origin.

It has been treated as a spirit bird in China since ancient times, and is an ancient variety whose description is found in the eleventh century in the "physical likeness" and in the fourteenth century in the "Oriental sight".

He also looks far removed from the average chicken, and even lives in black to his body, bones, and guts.

And not to mention the fact that eggs have also been rarely used as medicines in various countries to show nutritional advantages isolated from common chicken eggs.

Especially since the number of laying eggs is low and the absolute number is small, it also circulates as an expensive chicken egg and chicken in modern times.

However, it is possible to sort excellent individuals from among the squid chickens grown in multiple lands and multiply them together to create purebred squid chicken varieties with a high number of spawning eggs.

"Yeah, it's a neighboring chicken. I have purchased something else."

Shizuko also purchased a Chinese ground chicken named Jiu-Jin Huang (Cochin) species in addition to the urchin chicken. Whereas, as the name suggests, broiler species are roughly 2,5 km in large chickens, cochin species usually grow from 4 to 5 km.

The world-renowned Nagoya Cochin is the variety that combines this cochin variety with the Oozaki chicken. Shizuko also purchased the Cochin variety to create a variety close to Nagoya Cochin.

"Then, uh... I also bought dodo and ostrich for Satsuma chicken"

Local chickens kept in Satsuma are called Satsuma chickens. Its history is ancient and is said to have been raised by Heian since Tadashi Shimazu, a warlord of the Kamakura period and ancestor of Mr. Shimazu.

It has a rough temperament and a fighting personality for chickens, but the black, long tail and the red and vibrant body tone also look very beautiful and are raised for ornamental use.

The last species to be counted among Japan's three continental chickens, Binai chickens were allegedly crossed with military chickens (shamo) imported from Thailand and local chickens raised in northern Akita prefecture.

Abandoning that this location, northern Akita Prefecture, is outside the Oda family's power and difficult to obtain from boulders, Shizuko canceled a breed improvement plan based on Binai chickens.

Dodo, on the other hand, is an extinct bird in less than a hundred years of discovery. For wildlife's sake, he was very less alert, so close to being alert to the first person to see him.

As a result, predation by European settlers became generalized, and small animals brought in by settlers became wild and attacked the dodo.

Several other factors overlapped, such as nesting on the ground, and the dodo quickly became extinct.

Shizuko imported the dodo into Japan through the Jesuits, stepping on the record brought to Europe that it was highly adaptable to the environment, yielded well when meat was made, and was even easier to raise because of its great temperament.

As Shizuko read, it was found to have some high environmental adaptive capacity, but unlike other chickens, it is kept in isolation because very little records are kept.

What has now been found to be vigilant only during parenting, but otherwise it was so alert that it approached aggressively rather than fearing people.

The last one is the ostrich.

Octopus, the largest bird in birds, has incredible vitality and ability to adapt to the environment, is also resistant to injuries and diseases, and can be raised to the extent of vegetable scum that comes out of life with omnivores.

In ancient Egyptian times there was already a record of breeding, and there are many things available, such as skins and fats as well as meat.

If you are an adult, you will also tolerate heat, cold, and high humidity, you will not have a hand that is infectious resistant, quiet and adult, has no odors, has high reproductive capacity, and does not raise geese that do not have a territorial dispute with others.
