Chronicles of The Hardships of Komachi in The Sengoku Era

Early October, one thousand five hundred and sixty-six.

After calculating the number of mounds to be delivered to Zao, Nobunaga's earlier attitude became quiet as a lie.

Even after completing the formal report, Shizuko was released without being forced to say any difficult issues.

Shizuko leaning her neck in a sudden leopard freak, but quietly followed the castle without pinching an extra mouth without committing the foolishness of putting a snake on it.

And a little after Shizuko left, Nobunaga summoned Kasei Mori and Ichigo Takikawa.

"What about Shizuko?"

"It's hard to say, but I didn't have any information about her."

After glancing at Takikawa, who bowed his head with an apologetic face, he now turned to Kasei Mori.

Kasei Mori, who understood what Nobunaga wanted to ask, said this as he bowed his head.

"I've never known her to have that kind of talent, either"

In front of Nobunaga, Shizuko wrote kanji and hiragana katakana, and further performed a four-rule operation using a formula.

In modern times, it's about the level of learning in elementary school, but if that's the Warring States era, it's not the story.

Little does arithmetic basically know anything other than a merchant or a person in a national class such as Nobunaga Oda.

A warlord can also have the ability to analyze the difference in power between tens of thousands of soldiers and tens of thousands of enemies, but that is a huge mess.

Either way, writing kanji and calculating fine numbers without the use of an Abacus is not the kind of technology that people are born with.

"... the Ayatra family"

"There are no reports that a girl like Shizuko was born."

……

Nobunaga meditates quietly on his eyes when he hears the words of Takigawa.

When I first met him, I never gave him a name.

About five minutes later, Nobunaga spoke as he was.

"Yet he spoke my name."

"It's..."

"I didn't care then, but later I was concerned and asked Shizuko. What do you think he answered?

Kasei Mori and Takikawa were not able to answer that question.

They know Nobunaga well, but Shizuko is a completely unassociated person.

You can't possibly see who they are in one shot.

The line between the two was also conceived, but for that I could not feel any malice or hostility from Shizuko.

Tattoo and Left Letters.

The two breathe unexpectedly in unexpected answers.

"It was indeed a shoulder coat (unginned) with a 'five leaf papaya print' on it. And I had my front left letter on my hips. But that's not all."

Nobunaga goes on to say more with the fan in his hand.

"He's extremely natural with such exceptional talent that countries want him to, but he doesn't even show it on his nose. Has a family name for a public house, but is also bright for courtesy. And I'm familiar with Takeda and me."

And then, after groaning in his mouth, he told him as he looked out for Kasei Mori and Takikawa.

"I don't know if he realizes it himself... Shizuko is good at handling people so much that he can spot their talents and assign them the best job. That would be Shizuko's scariest talent. When I understood that, I thanked God Buddha for his patrol."

"But the Hall. It seems to me that it is no longer a question of trusting those who do not speak of their birth…"

"Hmmm...... it certainly wouldn't be a good idea to trust too much. But in my personal opinion, she's too honest for the wrong kind of person."

In response to Takigawa's bitterness, Kasei Mori shelters Shizuko while in tune.

With the most contact with Shizuko, he didn't think Shizuko was much of an interlocutor.

As Kasei Mori said earlier, it was because of his honest personality that he was not too fit for the warring world.

"Kasei is right. But there is a good reason for it. I don't need to do this right now, but I need to keep insurance."

When Nobunaga Pan gently slapped his hand, the lid at the entrance was quietly opened.

There's...

When the belly heart and Nobunaga of the forest, Takikagawa, etc. are discussing the treatment of Shizuko.

She was having a headache over something.

"Hmmm... even if they tell me to make a decision... hey"

"Excuse me, village chief. All of a sudden, I know it's impotent, but there's no respite for many minutes."

Yoichi, the former village chief who is holding back on the left, lowers his head as he puts his back on his head.

He's not the only one. The majority of the villagers who had originally been there were gathered, such as Kaneki, Tango, and then the sky in bloom.

Headed by Shizuko, they were gathered in a long house, arguably a public facility in the village.

Shizuko, the village chief, sits in the upper seat, and the early villagers sit on the left and right.

But there were about four men who looked different from them, as if they were hunters living in the mountains.

Everyone was uniformly skinny in various outfits and was extremely malnourished at a glance.

"We are well aware of the schematic offer. But as it is, all the people in the village starve to death. Have mercy."

That said, of the four, a man of leadership lowered his head deeply toward Shizuko.

Down one or two times over myself, it would also hurt his pride deeply to bow his head to a woman.

But they couldn't even afford to care about the shape.

"(I didn't know this village and the one in the mountains was originally one...) Please raise your head, two writings. I have no objection to supporting you either."

But Shizuko told him quietly after he prefaced.

"Even with this support, the two of us will abandon the village in the near future."

Did you understand both of them, make a tannic side to Shizuko's words?

In any case, the villagers had been providing meticulous support for the two villages since last year.

This year, however, the situation did not improve, but rather it was on the way to deterioration.

That's why I've offered Shizuko direct support.

"... So what do we do? We put our hands together, too. Yet the situation remains unchanged! What more can I do!?

Whether it's frustration with me for not being able to do anything, the two pieces speak with a stronger narrative.

But soon he took me back, and he lowered his head to Shizuko, with his head gently swept.

"I apologize for forgetting me and working so rudely."

"It's okay, because I don't care. Let's have a discussion to solve the problem in your village. But before that..."

Shizuko gently slaps her hand against the front door.

Then the front door was opened, followed by several women coming in with a basin in their hands.

Placing them in front of everyone, including the two works, they left with a bowl of grace.

"You must be tired from a long journey. Fill up your hunger first. Then let's get into the discussion."

It was the food that was placed before them.

It was white porridge with plum, then a few bran pickles.

At first, the two pieces were bewildered by the dishes, but Shizuko's words, "Don't hesitate, please enjoy", decided to have porridge.

It was the first time they had seen porridge or had eaten it like it was a surprise, but eventually they ate to be disappointed if their appetite had won.

"I am grateful for this kind of treatment."

"Oh, no, yes"

Whether it was his personality, or whether he was originally a Martial Family person or something, the two works were very courteous.

As a static child, the two works were trembling in the cold from extreme malnutrition, which is why they produced porridge that is digestible and warms the body.

"So the problem is, let me tell you my predictions before I do. Please correct me every time I'm wrong."

I got it. I got it.

In anticipation, Shizuko said, but in fact, she thought that what she was going to say now was more or less a hit.

In any case, I was aware of the problem this spring, but I have a history of other village problems but therefore refrained from giving a hand.

"The two villages are mixed with a lot of mud in the river water, and they're not available for a living, are they?

Moment after moment, the faces of the two works were stretched out.

It's not just the two of us. The faces of Yoichi, Tango and the goldsmiths were equally tense.

From the look on his face, Shizuko was convinced that his point was not wrong.

"And the beasts stopped leaning on their hunting grounds because the mountains were darkening even during the day. That's why I can't earn a living from meat and fur, and I'm cramped with daily food. Are these two things not a problem?

"... can you even use Kamikaze? How do you know why we're so upset?"

"It's not that hard to talk about. People living in the mountains produce firewood, charcoal, lumber, minerals, veterinary meat and leather, so we just guessed from that."

Minerals are used for money, blades, agricultural tools, everyday goods, etc., so even when the mountains are dark, they have little impact.

So I think the problem is that the mountains are dark and the beasts are no longer leaning on people like hunters, charcoal grills, and wood dust.

"Forests with dense trees make the trees grow poorly and the sun barely plugs in, right? So the absorption of carbon dioxide is decreasing, and the land is so thin that no hay grows and no tree can hold its roots tight. As a result, the lower branches have dried up and all the trees are in a slight state, so they cannot be sold as firewood. I can see that."

"... I don't know most of the meaning of the word, but you're probably right. Because firewood trees cannot be made, and there is nothing more to feed the beast, the beasts cannot lean over and sell meat."

"Is that still true? Then the solution is" well "and" logging ", and then we need equipment to filter the water from the river."

Shizuko offered a light solution to the problems that had plagued the villagers' heads for years and decades if they were bad.

Because it was too easy to say, the two pieces did not at all understand what she had said at first.

"Mr. Goldsmith. Tools for the 'well' previously requested. Do you have it all?

"Heh? Oh, yes. For once, we have what the village chief said."

"Copy that. Tango, please collect charcoal, longer grass and pebbles. Yoichi asks you to prepare a large barrel and enough cloth to wrap it."

"Hey, I understand!

"Okay."

So I thought I'd have everything I needed. Shizuko, but when I saw the two pieces, I remembered what was important.

"Mr. Saki and Mr. Sky. Please prepare a folded lunch box to take to the village. You have to work for them, but they won't be able to move properly on an empty stomach."

"Oh, my God."

The sky, which answered Shizuko's words energetically, jumped out in momentum as it was.

I didn't even tell her anything about the lunch menu, but I thought it was Shizuko, but I thought it would be unnecessary to specify so much detail.

"No, um... do what?

Two pieces that can't keep up with the story ask Shizuko a question as she looks surprised.

"We're going to go to two villages and solve the problem."

Shizuko said so extremely brightly, as if to blow the anxiety of the two works.

Then a moment (about two hours) later, with each prepared one in hand, Shizuko went to the village of the two works.

Since it was climbing the boulder, the bloom and sky made it wait in the village, and the lunches were decided to be carried by the village men.

Shizuko had been collecting this and hunting deer in the mountains for nearly two years, so she climbed lightly like a garden she knew she would.

But Kanezuku and Tagoku, long after they stopped climbing mountains and so on, breathed constantly from nearly half the way to their destination.

Because of this, we arrived in the two villages a little later than planned after noon.

"Hey, I can't do this anymore... I'm dying..."

"Village chief... where is such power... uhh"

The moment we got to the village, Kanezuku and Tagoku collapsed on the spot.

He breathed on his shoulder and drank the water from the bamboo water bottle that was lowering from his waist.

"Because I was climbing mountains, collecting herbs, chasing deer. Isn't that why you got strength?

Shizuko, who is not much different than usual, answers Kellogg to the two who are breathing on their shoulders.

She was a little sweaty, but I couldn't feel her complaining about the limits of her health like Kanezuku and Tango.

"When we're done, let's get to work. Breathe in by then."

With that said, Shizuko went into the village of two works, putting aside the two who were hebbling, and Yoichi, who stood patiently and forcibly.

Two works in the lead, Shizuko behind them. And further back, Vitman, Kaiser, Kanich.

"Ah, welcome home, village chief - hi no!!

It was impossible for the villagers to scream every time they met because they brought in three wolves.
