Chronicles of The Hardships of Komachi in The Sengoku Era

When Nobunaga and the others were hosting a lively Hanami banquet, Ishiyama Hondo Temple was filled with a sense of abandoned ruins in contrast.

Inside the main temple, moderates led by Reliant had prevailed, and the hardliners who fought a thorough battle, like the Church, had lost momentum.

However, it is common for a cornered organization to be more radically advanced, and perhaps without leakage, the religious and hardliners also occupied and erected monasteries in the mountains in response to disarming.

The monks, who also did not belong to either of those forces, had already taken them off the siege's unsealed main temple with as much wealth as they could have.

The faithful who saw it also understood the fate of the main temple, and separated themselves from us as if a rat were to escape from a sinking ship.

Having said that they had responded to the disarming, various supplies were stored within the main temple, which was the only environment in which many people could live, and the faithful took away all the costs of going and even domestic groceries such as pots and cauldrons.

It can also be said that the mountains and the armaments that were once piled up in front of each mountain gate were carried away by the hands of the Oda army, thus limiting the amount of gold in the hands of the believers.

Reliability, who received reports about them, only grumbled "well," and did not try to take any action.

"Lawmaster"

Reliance stood up in front of a cell that was closed. The current representative of the Temple of Hondo is reliable, and the manifestation of being pursued by the seat of the Lord of Law is merely a single monk.

Still, I'm only obvious with the law lord for reliability. The only way to negotiate with the Oda family was to become the representative of the main temple, and even after closing the appearance, Reliant himself never named the legal master.

"Lawmaster"

Turning to the Lord of the prison, who does not even use lights to say that the sun is approaching, Reliability spoke up again. However, there was no return from the prison.

Reliable took it for granted that he had not heard back. Where I put it, I am nothing but a traitor to Honmonji.

I take it for granted that my appearance refuses to talk, and even if I don't hear back, I continue to shine through the sun and keep my daily reports towards darkness.

"Law lord, the rapprochement with Oda is going well. With this rapprochement, we will be placed under the control of Oda, and as proof of this, we will reveal here at Hondo Temple."

Conditions that must be swallowed in harmony with Nobunaga. That was the renunciation of the Ishiyama Honmoji Temple, which has always been the main mountain of the sect.

Ishiyama Honma-ji Temple was a base of faith for Honma-ji Gatekeepers scattered throughout Japan, and a fortress capable of fighting Nobunaga for more than ten years in history.

It was therefore certain that Nobunaga would refer to his expulsion from the main temple as the minimum condition for reconciling. If we return the back, it is also a sign of confidence that if we suppress even the main temple, we can deal with it in any way, even if it always breaks out everywhere.

"In order to redeem the cost of war, you will be able to pinpoint a variety of other conditions. And the remaining believers (...) will be accepted by the Miscellaneous."

Reliability talked about the future of the faithful who were more concerned about their appearance in advance. We did our best to avoid blame for the followers of the end, but not for the leaders of the upper echelons.

Reliable Lian, by virtue of his covenant with Nobunaga, attached to the Honganji Gatekeeper a statement that freedom of worship was guaranteed even after the departure of Honganji Temple.

There are two things Nobunaga forbade to Hondo Temple. One is the ban on having force, the other is the ban on intervening in politics.

Religion for Nobunaga is the norm of life, as long as it is the home of the spirit, and he thought it would be unscrupulous (fuzzy) to use the Buddha's glory to steer the future of the faithful.

"... if anything moves, I'll come back"

In the end, there was no answer from the obvious until the end. But for reliability it was every time, and when I prayed toward the prison, I left the spot behind.

Soon after Reliance left, his voice leaked more anguish than in a cell closed to darkness.

"Sorry, reliable. Even when things get here, we can't yet cut off the feelings of our flesh parents. If only I had cut off the teachings sooner..."

No more words, and again the cell was swallowed by silence.

Hideyoshi was burning his hands in the grinding (Harima). Sowing hits the southwest of Hyogo Prefecture today. It has a large port in the territory, such as Himeji Harbor, and the economy is developing around the port city, so many forces will contend over each other's rights.

Since the Kamakura period, the dynasty, the martial family and the Buddhist family were swallowed by the war by the outstretches of their forefingers, which led to a strong anti-bone spirit against the central regime.

Among them, Mr. Akamatsu was famous. It is no exaggeration to say that they were the most disobedient clan in Japanese history to the institutional side that said it was the morning court and the shogunate.

To give an example, in 1333, when Takeshi (Takauji), who later opened the Takeshi Shogun and became a general, attacked Kyo, he defeated the Six Waves Exploration (Takeshi), which was an important base of the Kamakura Shogun.

At that time, it was Akamatsu's fourth generation, Ryumura Akamatsu (who later left the house and took his legal name as Yeonshin), who led the sowing people to set a great deal of rules.

Afterwards, because of the cold treatment received from the Jianwu (kenmu) regime (also said to have been involved in the political conflict), he summoned Mr. Jianwu's soldiers to discuss the Jianwu regime and make a significant contribution to the establishment of the Muromachi Shogun.

Afterwards, he gave (kurumi) to the footfall, but it was also Akamatsuke (Mitsusuke) who was the sixth generation general of the Muromachi Shogun and directed fear politics, repeatedly subjected to harsh cuts and tried to kill the footfall proselytism (Ikari), alias Ten Thousand Fears, in the banquet seat.

In this way, Mr. Akamatsu is often manipulated by the power struggles of the regime, and for this reason he has a culture of independence and an extraordinarily high spirit of rebellion.

Especially if your "rice seeds" are not to be taken away, that spirit will unfortunately be demonstrated.

"Ha ha. Isn't that pretty spiney?"

Against this background, Hideyoshi's polishing strategy was difficult to navigate due to fierce resistance by Akamatsu in the case.

Hideyoshi's plight was approximated by the steady achievement of a sniper unit led by Changyuki Maida, who was dispatched by the Shizuko Army. They are supposedly participating in the Hideyoshi Army in order to field test new weapons due to the life of Nobunaga Epiphany.

Because the war situation is inconceivable, Hideyoshi's morale, which is forcing him to struggle if he reveals that he requested reinforcements to be foolish and honest, will collapse. Therefore, we will treat Nobunaga as a special unit that has received a direct life (vertigo) and operate it in a playful manner to minimize contact with other units.

As a result, for the majority of Hideyoshi's troops, the presence of sniper units was treated like touching swollen objects. From the units that acted together, we have come to the impression that we are close to condemnation and disdain for the battle far removed from the bravery of the sniper units.

It is also true that their doctrine of combat (Doctrine) was too heterogeneous in Hideyoshi's army, where individual martial arts are still revered. Basically, you just snipe at only the corporal lurking in the shadows, arranging an enemy at height, gathering soldiers and giving instructions, and you just retreat.

Avoid direct engagement wherever possible and, if inevitable, set a trap on the enemy's expected invasion route, taking the most distant tactic of warfare from the honor (hoarseness) of the stadium and fleeing around while unilaterally slaughtering after stopping.

If you say it to an entity, it is cowardly and soothing, and from the point of view of Hideyoshi's army generals, you will only be perceived as a coward who does not make a definitive difference by forcing his bleeding on Chimatima and his enemies.

And this method of warfare was brilliantly haunted by Mr. Akamatsu, who was overflowing with anti-bone spirit. If you find yourself in a situation where only corporals of your own army are taken over one after the other while you can't even see the enemy, it is normal for your normal spiritual strength not to withstand and the soldiers to escape first.

Corporal is the first to be scared under these circumstances. Because they will not be attacked except by corporals, it could be said that it is only natural that there will be no one wanting to be a compiler of troops.

But this common sense did not apply only to Mr. Akamatsu. If there's any damage, it's going to blow you away. First the captain's armor was turned into something heavy. If I even saw it penetrate, I even threw away the outside hearings and other shields made of bamboo and trees and bracketed them on my body.

Still, knowing that the fall of the horse due to the impact of the landing shot was inevitable, he finally lowered his horse and showed a shapely (fu) irrelevance that he was going to mingle and march at his feet. Chang Xiao, a boulder, was also stunned by this, and the aforementioned words came out with his mouth unexpectedly.

Without even settling (lotteries) in cowardly methods of warfare, the generals of Hideyoshi's army went so far as to slap their pussies as to sound deliberately in the attitude of Chang Happiness, which only pierces the tactics of avoiding engagement, against the enemies who come straight as they squeeze their wits to deal with it.

"Admiral, can I just leave you to yourself?

One of the sniper units, Daisy, asked Chang Hak as she prepared to withdraw. As can be seen from the name Chrysanthemum, she is an elite soldier in the elite called Sniper, but she is a woman.

In addition, the sniper and the observer (spotter) operating on the set are her brother, Ichiro, and her sister, Chisa. They are even rare in a static army full of exceptions compared to other armies, with three brothers and sisters constituting a group (cell).

Especially since they serve for different reasons. The chrysanthemum is for the beloved Shizuko, because his brother Ichiro can feed his sisters to a full stomach without starving them, and because his youngest child doesn't like living away from his brother and sister.

"It doesn't matter. It is only natural that we should be neglected because we were originally foreign. We can do a ranged attack called sniping that they can't do, and vice versa, they can do melee attacks that we can't do as widows. I'm not talking about which is superior, it's a fundamentally different tool to use. You don't use saws to feed fish, do you? That's what I'm saying."

Chang Xiao did not seem concerned about the tone that could be described as transgressive along with the chrysanthemum, and easily responded as if there was no difference in identity himself.

"Well, it's Shizuko who appreciates me, so I don't care what the other dust mustards say. So you can't overlook Shizuko being insulted?

"As for those who share the shadow of the great tree called the Oda family, our common sense cannot prevail because of other armies. Well, let's hope they're not stupid enough to denounce Shizuko in public."

"Daisy, give me the book you put in your pocket. It's still an assassination book... well, not every time you don't show up, so be patient."

Saying so, Ichiro tore one off the face taken from the chrysanthemum. There was a description of the characteristics and affiliated forces of those who had earlier spoken out against the sniper squad that the cowardly battle was because their lords were feminine.

As Ichiro still says, this is not the first time Daisy has planned these reprisals. I haven't exposed it so far to make it look like an accident after multiplying it by the darkness at night, but what was wounded by her hand doesn't fit with five fingers.

"Hmm. If we're gonna do this, we're gonna make sure Shizuko never bothers you, right?

"Um... Master Maida. Please don't stir up my sister. My sister doesn't have a toothpick when it comes to Shizuko..."

A complaint comes from Chisa against Chang Hak, who was amused and stirred up the chrysanthemum. She's right, the chrysanthemum has gone so far as not to exaggerate when it comes to static fundamentalists that she responds to insults to the worshipper, Shizuko, by punishment.

Fortunately, there have been no deaths so far, but if we find another way to get rid of the gas, it is not hard to predict that we will die far away.

"Forget the joke. Surprisingly, I heard that sniping is a good idea if you hit it once every ten times."

"That's because I'm good. Shizuko, I've just given you a compliment!

Says Daisy, who pitifully defied her thin breasts because of her age.

Unlike that in cartoons and movies, patience is required to repeat terribly plain work with real life snipers. Although unsuitable for prone daisies, she had the characteristic of exerting unusual concentration under peculiar circumstances.

Sniping training is a repetition of the task of setting a target point and shooting, then making observations and recording differences. It is intolerable for a constant person to repeat the work that is scarce for change in a prolonged manner and to record environmental figures and results in detail for each shooting.

But she had such an easy temperament to indulge in when she immersed herself in one thing that she no longer cared about her surroundings at all, and had such a difficult talent to focus on that she forgot to sleep.

However, this nature she possesses is only sufficient for everyday life. Especially in the countryside where she grew up, etc., she lowered her daisy as an ill-driven daughter who would silently repeat only the grasshopper, whether it rained or sunset if she was asked to.

In a community like rural one is required to respond ad hoc to the circumstances surrounding her, but that is difficult for her. Therefore, from an early age, she has been called a waste of rice, and has been scorning (offering) rarely.

It was Shizuko like no other who picked her up like that. People who exhibit properties like hers were called Autism Spectrum Disease (ASD) in modern times, and Shizuko, who knew the existence and characteristics of such people, found the natural talent that daisy possessed.

It was in incredible concentration and its persistence and the ability to recognize time and space away from the constant. She had almost exactly grasped the time without looking at the clock and described the distance to an object far away with little error.

Shizuko introduces surveying and sniping units as a place to harness her talents, and the lives of her daisies brothers and sisters will improve dramatically. With these backgrounds, Daisy poured herself from the bottom up to Shizuko, who now thinks Shizuko and Divine Buddha are equal.

"Here we go again..."

"I don't care if the sweat gets in my eyes, but I see Shizuko's hand wipe wrapped around my forehead still being sacrificed to the shrine."

Daisy's own story began repeatedly enough to make octopuses in her ears, and Ichiro and Chisa listened to all of it with a warm look. Chang Xiao also initially ate, but now it is best to leave it alone until it stops.

"Sapphic... Was it? The satisfied parts are amazing, but I don't like it when you don't feel like you're shooting a gun."

That's what Daisy says, carefully removing the connected parts in the form of screwing them into the muzzle. A suppressor (sound reducer) is a device that reduces the sound and flash of a bullet by attaching it to the muzzle.

Suppressor principle is to suppress sound by distributing combustion gas that often erupts from the muzzle when the bullet fires. If you open the Coke pet bottle vigorously, it will make a pussy sound higher, but it is the same logic that if you twist slowly and carefully, it will only make the sound of losing the gas named Shoo.

Personal preferences aside, satisfaction is horrible for chrysanthemums as well. The chrysanthemum, who has a reputation for not reading the air of the field, shudders because of the fear rooted in survival instincts just because she is in the same space as satisfied.

I wouldn't even spare my life for Shizuko's sake, Daisy, but I'm not even willing to go against my satisfaction. He even thought he was so convincing when he was told he was a 'ghost' eating people.

"Don't record the experimental data properly, okay?

"Whenever I put it on or off, it's a hassle because I have to readjust my aim... do I have to go on?

Daisy is constrained by her sniping style and doesn't like to change the usual procedure.

"Shizuko expects that part too."

"Give me my book back, quick! We need to record it immediately and get ready for our next shooting!

I had to laugh bitterly at the chrysanthemum of Ichiro changing his attitude as soon as possible with one voice.

When it came to what the sniper unit led by Chang Xiao was currently doing, it was field training when it operated alone in the soldier section called Sniper and in conjunction with other units.

Basically, snipers can't be decisive in battle. In the first place, because of the need for special uniforms and techniques, it is not possible to match the numbers.

For this reason, it is weak to extinguish the force pushed by the quantity, and it is difficult to escape even once the enemy is allowed to receive it. On the other hand, it can frustrate enemy morale if it operates effectively because it boasts several times the range against the enemy.

And no matter how much training is built up, unexpected things keep happening in the actual field. Find out how to deal with it and how to achieve it.

"Brother, what's the enemy?

"The southwest direction, approximately 300 meters away, the difference between high and low is approximately minus 30 meters."

My brother Ichiro uses a parallax rangefinder to communicate the measurement results.

"Chisa?"

"There are no humans nearby because the surrounding wildlife is not responding. We haven't found this one yet."

"Copy that. I'll move when I get four shots fired, so be ready."

When the chrysanthemum answered so, she fired four shots at the target, which, with the naked eye, was only about the size of her thumb, to continue standing.

Chisa continues to be vigilant around the area and his brother Ichiro switches from a rangefinder to a telescope to communicate the results of the shooting.

The result was two hits, one close bullet, and the remaining one could not observe whether it had flown in the wrong direction or landed.

It may seem like a low hit rate of 50%, but firstly, guns in this era rarely even fly straight bullets.

It finally becomes a force of war by drawing it as far as it can be said to be in front of you, arranging the numbers and barrage.

The fact that an ally died after receiving the rubble of death (crushing) that flew without sound as if to mock (bruise) such common sense was sufficient to make the soldiers' feet fall apart.

When the chrysanthemum removes the barrel from the simple tripod using dead wood and spreads the parts that can be disassembled, it falls into the dorsal sac (yes).

Ichiro packs his bags and takes charge, and if Chisa erases their tracks, the movement begins.

"But Maida-sama has no mercy either. I just crushed the captain's character, and now I can take away his' eyes'."

A able-bodied Ichiro leads the way, and shortly afterwards a mild chisel refrains from directing the way. The daisy at the rear of the line should get to the marks they passed through.

Until the next sniper spot we found in the preliminary investigation, Daisy accidentally threw the words forward as everyone quietly proceeded.

"If you crush the scouts, the champions, the lookouts first, their march will slow down."

Chang Xiao had given instructions around each sniper squad, and he was not here already, but what he ordered the chrysanthemums to do was the aforementioned.

The enemy warlord lost a corporal relaying his orders, then lost his eyes to find the enemy. Speaking of warlords of the Red Pine Army on boulders, if this is the case, we have to withdraw.

When it takes a dense form in preparation for an invisible enemy raid, it pulls the soldiers together and turns back. There was a reason the snipers didn't target enemy warlords.

Because Hideyoshi's face will be rounded if the sniper units dispatched at Hideyoshi's request cite the glorious effect of taking over one enemy general after another.

"I wonder what we're going to do with a handicap between our allies?

"I guess it's because it's easier to get morale out of competing for a handle. Instead, Shizuko, who can maintain morale without doing so, is just outstanding."

"It's time to end the futility story. I'll be there."

When the three arrive at the planned sniping point, Ichiro and Chisa circle to see if there are any signs of the enemy while alerting the area. Daisy determines the sniping point at a stage where safety could be ensured, and assembles the gun again when she lowers her luggage around it.

They all understood their role, and were ready to snipe without delay.

"All right, I'm in position, give me your instructions."

When the barrel could be loaded with a bullet coupled with a metal guide, Daisy took the shooting position.

Since May, Nobunaga's mood has been on the way to deterioration. He didn't even try to hide his frustration, he just kept quiet and wrinkled between his eyebrows.

No one tries to get in the mood of Nobunaga, who has slammed into silence. Even if it were a princess, we all understood that restoring Nobunaga's mood would not come true.

……

The cause of Nobunaga's frustration was in the sentence he had in his hands. That was the sentence 'Free begging (vacation petition where it is said in modern times)' delivered by Shizuko.

Following Vitman, Balti, who is the number, also fell ill, leaving little time for both heads.

At the end of the loyal minister who has been leaning on me since the beginning, I want to stay beside him as much as I can, so I want him to take a break from work for a while.

Nobunaga was not angry against Shizuko's free begging. Rather, 'Did you finally feel comfortable resting'. Then he was ashamed of his uncertainty when he asked what he was frustrating.

(I feel sorry for myself for making it. I didn't know Shizuko couldn't detect his condition before he begged for free...)

In retrospect, it's been ten years since I picked up Shizuko. I've pushed various impossible challenges so far, but Shizuko has supported me, both public and private.

If you ask yourself, "If you hadn't picked up Shizuko, did you have yourself today?" you can immediately say no.

It is not difficult to imagine that, even if we had come to the point where we could reach the heavenly people on some kind of patrol, we would not have been able to build a system that was as rocky as it is now.

The best turning point of all would have been when Shingen Takeda withheld Operation Nishimi. I said that there was no way anyone could win.

Even Nobunaga himself had estimated his army's victory at 30%. By then, Shingen had been strong with the Takeda army.

(How much of a day changed my position)

Until just before the Battle of Sangamihara, there were many things that left me as far as I could tell: "I've never been under Oda's heaven."

And the day after dawn, as soon as the battle of Triangahara was known, something continued to return the applause. The tide changed clearly on the border that day.

Only Shizuko had nothing at all changed before or after Kudosa, to say that he was the greatest credit for accomplishing so much importance.

"I'm home now"

He greeted his return with ease as if he had no place to feel and told him that he was ready for lunch.

Nobunaga felt Shizuko was horrible for the first time then. Shizuko sometimes makes you think she looks far beyond herself.

For Shizuko, the battle of Triangahara was not a showdown with the fate of a strawberry or a bee, but only an extension of the routine that would lead us to today and the day after tomorrow.

Such a static child was now clearly showing weakness. Nobunaga was ashamed of herself for not trying to know the situation in which Shizuko was placed, as well as being glad that she had exposed herself to strange but humane emotions.

"I can't say it's just a beast. I'm the first friend to ever lean on Shizuko."

Nobunaga felt that Shizuko's mood toward the wolf was equal to that of her flesh parents. Shizuko's wish, which rarely speaks of hope, as Nobunaga, was meant to be fulfilled even if the ordeal was set aside.

"Now I can't do what I can. At the very least, it is your duty to do everything you can to keep Shizuko from being imprisoned..."

When he said so, Nobunaga called for a right brush, and finished several letters and sent them to various places.

At the very least, I take care to ensure that Shizuko is at peace of mind, and I take precedence and restrain those who are likely to bring trouble to Shizuko.

"Phew."

Nobunaga blew out when he realized he was so distracted. In his arduous life, he can only count with one hand how considerate he has been to this point.

It seemed strange that I, who was held by heavenly men, was being swept away by static children as far away from my age as it was no exaggeration to say that I was a daughter.

(We've been dating for over a decade, but he always startles me)

It was a fresh surprise that there was such a side to myself that people were described as unexpected ghosts.

In warring times, if you believe too much in others, you will be killed. It is not uncommon to be a bone meat feud because of ambition, even if you are a blood connected flesh parent.

(But only Shizuko is different. Seeing him always makes me feel like a fool to prepare for betrayal)

At first it was a disposable pawn picked up from rarity. The pawn overcame one challenge after another, and after showing his worth, he taught me a world beyond sight.

Shizuko continued to be always honest, although sometimes she bumps into each other because she does not behave. Even though it seemed at first sight contrary to Nobunaga's opinion, it always moved to the benefit of Nobunaga.

"I don't think what he wants from me is all weird. Beginning with the manpower that plows the fields, the seeds of the crops grown in Nanban and Ming, the beasts like none I've ever seen. In time, when I collected graffiti from temples and public houses, I thought I might have touched the boulder, but now I miss it... and now I don't know if I want a rest, but I see it as a rule that Shizuko will swing by."

Behind words, there was no last minute grump in Nobunaga's expression, even a pleasant look on his face.
