Chronicles of The Hardships of Komachi in The Sengoku Era

In early May of one thousand five hundred and sixty-seven

Before dawn, someone made suspicious moves with Kosokoso in a strange circle mansion.

(... Okay, if we get out of here, we'll be in a straight line to the entrance later)

The person was a strange circle, the lord of the mansion. There's a reason why he's walking around on guard.

On that day, Odd Maru, who had cough disease, told Shizuko about his own identity.

It was an act of disregard for Nobunaga's intentions, so he was cautioned to cool off his head for a few days.

In the modern man's idea, it would seem strange to be subjected to prudential disposition to such an extent as to speak of elementary qualities or ignore Nobunaga's intentions, but parental authority is absolute in warring state-era parental systems.

Whether you are therefore a wife or a clan, you are obliged to obey the orders of your parents faithfully. If you defy them, the parents' right to succeed and defeat could even cause blood to flow.

Even if the clan or the wife made sense.

(I know it's bad that I ignored Father's intentions. but that and this is a different issue)

Actually, I've already managed to be discreet by Nobunaga, but even without it, he was in a difficult condition to go out.

It's only inexplicable for Odd Maru, but the educational fever of the educator has rekindled.

He was therefore in a state of being encouraged to study from morning to evening. Nobunaga doesn't see it as a problem either, but rather the beginning and end of encouraging Grandpa to say 'It's a good medicine for odd pills'.

(If we get out of here -)

"Which way are you going, Mr. Odd Maru?"

The goal point was in front of him, and the moment the odd circle that thought so tried to run with force on his leg, a voice flew from behind him.

Strange circles with stretched spines look behind them by moving only their necks like rusty machines.

My grandfather was there with a missing expression.

"Hey, hey hey hey..."

It's over there.

Grandpa answers calmly pointing to the path the strange circle had been walking on until earlier.

"Ya, the... right?

Odd circles contemplate excuses while sweating heavily on his back.

But at the time of the first discovery lie, there was no credibility in what Odd Round said.

"And which way are you going?

"No... well, yes! I thought I'd encourage you to study at Shizuko's today!

"You don't have to go to Shizuko for a while." And Shizuko was also told. "Knowledge is what you end up acquiring by researching from multiple sources or listening to earlier teachings. It's dangerous to just skew the story from me, and the head of knowledge alone is inferior to the fool '," he said.

"Ugh."

"'And knowledge will be wisdom for the first time when it can be harnessed,' he also said. Dear Odd Maru, I have a bow and horse archery after the morning. Then Grandpa will be ready, so if you'll excuse me. Dear Odd Maru, please don't forget."

Weird circles, beaten to the point of truth by no sound whatsoever, did not want to snort at his grandfather's words.

Shizuko decided to leave Nobunaga to respond to the loyalty victory.

I believe that it would be better for Nobunaga to order his men to write a response than to confirm with Nobunaga and Shizuko to write a response, without disrespect in the details.

The text of the content, which refuses the invitation in the most convenient way possible, was delivered to the source of loyalty within a few days of Shizuko leaving it to Nobunaga.

I thought that was it, Shizuko, but she was slightly insulting a person named Tadahiro Honta.

On May 8th, Shizuko is called by Tanyu to his house.

Shizuko didn't know why Tanyu, who had the most opportunities to meet her face directly, had issued an order to come to her house instead of Shizuko's.

But worrying doesn't start. Because there's no other option for her than to head to his house.

It took a little while because it was the first place I visited, but I arrived at Tanyu's house by the time I was due to rush.

house, would be more right to describe it as a mansion than a At least a few times bigger than Shizuko's house, a dozen times bigger if poorer.

Shizuko, who is overwhelmed by the scale of the mansion, has been spoken to by a guide servant. She follows the guide with great care, even though her back becomes itchy.

At this point, if she had observed her surroundings a little more carefully, she would have realized that there were unfamiliar groups.

But being overwhelmed by the mansion, she did her best just to calm down her feelings.

"Shizuko has arrived"

"Let it pass."

When a small-time user spoke across the partition, a short response was received.

Whether that was a permit to enter the room, the small-time user quietly opens the partition. When I finished opening it, I bowed my head to my husband across the partition.

At the end of those greetings, the small-time user paves the way for Shizuko to pass.

When I walked inside feeling surprised, I saw from Shizuko that there was Tanyu on the left.

"I'm sorry for calling you so suddenly."

And on the right was Honda Loyalty and two strange men. Shizuko sits next to him, recommended by Tanyu.

"One, Tokugawa Shun 5th Shimosagawa Shoku is called Honda Heiyaro"

"Likewise, my name is Koheita Sakahara"

"Likewise, my name is Sanya Honta Left Gate"

Shizuko confirms that she sat down. Loyal victory names her name. The two men follow suit.

(Tokugawa Shun5th Shimomikawa Shosho is a member of the family of Tokugawa... Honda Tadashi, Sakahara Yasushi, Honta Masato...)

Honda Tadashi and Sakahara Kenji are counted as Tokugawa Sanjie. Honta Masahiro, nicknamed Kaido's best warrior.

They are all warlords of history, but at this time they are still promoted to the leading role of Flagbook and generals of the Flagbook Squad with fifty horsemen of power.

But Shizuko didn't know why those three were visiting Tanyu's mansion.

"We had a lot of trouble the other day. And thank you for listening to some wishes. Once again, I thank you and apologize."

At the same time as that word, loyalty bows its head deeply.

Shizuko, who hasn't heard after the loyalty, doesn't know what decision was made, but he understands it didn't get so bad from the mouthfeel, and strokes his chest down with a ho.

"Accepted."

"I also caused trouble to your woman.... May I ask your first name?

Shizuko, suddenly told the story, stretches her spine, a little surprised.

"Yes. My name is Shizuko."

Oda Ozhang Sho did not say that, because he understood that the problem was that she was a servant of the Oda clan in the boulder.

"Lord Shizuko, a beautiful name."

Saying so, Zhongsheng took the bathroom that was behind him and left it in front of Shizuko.

Tanyu and Shizuko, who don't know what the bathroom is that is quite tall, try to ask what the contents are.

But before that, Zhongsheng unsealed the bathroom. pastries, the contents are exposed with the sound of

"Ooh..."

Look at the contents. Dan Yu shouts his admiration. That was a round of flowers.

Overall white flowers, but by the way, they were mixed in cream and pink, creating a fantastic beauty.

"It is a hua called cotton that was passed down to my Three Rivers Country yesterday. It's a difficult hua, but I managed to get just one round of blooming hua"

(Cotton...? That was like a full bloom in July or August...)

Shizuko thought the cotton was sown from May to early June and the flowering was from July to August.

So I thought oddly of the cotton that was already blooming, but I thought it was the wrong time to sow and just happened to grow and bloom.

In Yongzheng Seven Years (1510), domestic cotton was described as taking "Mitsugawa cotton" in the "Yongzheng Mid-Year Diary", which remains in the Great Yard of Kofukuji Temple, as part of the annual contribution of 180 sentences.

Around 1530, merchants desperately sought a sales route for cotton that could be removed from cotton.

However, the value of cotton was understood by only a small number of merchants in the Three Rivers who were unable to construct sales channels to a large extent.

This is already said because the common people were able to divide their dwellings with hemp, and public houses and people with silk kimonos.

It was also painful for the traders of Migawa that Ming (China) was exporting cotton to Japan.

Therefore, until the end of the Warring States era, there was no eye for domestic cotton.

(Hmm, I guess this is a good story to think about. I want a seed because I like Hua, when it comes to it I might not be suspicious......?

I know it's not worth it, and there's a reason Shizuko didn't try to get the cotton seeds.

That's exactly what it's worth.

What happens if Nobunaga wants cotton that only part of the Three Rivers country has eyes on, which is not a character that loves Hua?

No matter how favorable you look at it, you'll think it's too suspicious of words and deeds around you.

Because of that circumstance, Shizuko contemplated obtaining cotton seeds in as natural a way as possible.

"I'm not familiar with Hua, but I want you to know that..."

Loyal victory spoke in a terrible way, and Yangu and Positive Weight beside him looked frightened.

But Shizuko doesn't turn her consciousness to them, she just thinks. How to grow cotton, and how to convince Nobunaga.

(My shirt I was wearing when I came over...... it must have been a cotton t-shirt. Evidence over theory, can you explain it easily with that one? No, you can't. Such advanced knitting, if I let it out, I'll just be suspicious. Then you need to let them know how good cotton is in other ways......)

"... and for the record, the... and Lord Shizuko!?

Shizuko, pulled up from the vortex of thought subtly loud of loyalty, sees loyalty with a startled face.

He said this as he blushed his cheeks slightly and squeezed the sachet.

"Well, why don't you grow this hua with something... something!?

The words were chewed up in my heart, and Shizuko, well thought out, replied:

"Yes, I'll take it"

The heart of loyalty was full of jumps.

However, Zhengwei, who was next door, laughed bitterly, and covered his face with one hand as far as Yangtze.

Why did you react so polarly? It was extremely simple.

"Co-growing of cotton requires permission from the museum on the boulder, but I don't think it's hard to convince. But growing it in either country isn't convenient either. Master Tanyu, is it difficult to prepare land near the border?

Zhongsheng said in the sense that he would marry himself and raise Hua together beside himself.

In contrast, Shizuko regarded cotton as a joint venture between Migawa and Ozhang.

It was also immediately understood that Yasushi and Positive Weight were perceived by Shizuko in the sense of co-cultivation.

So I sighed like they were both frightened. Listen to those two and Shizuko's words, and slowly understand loyalty as well.

The fact that my words are not important enough and that they are interpreted differently.

"Ha ha..."

An emotion called emotion falls out of the face of loyalty.

It was also quick to fall to the bottom of the disappointment as the joy rose with tremendous momentum.

"Eh, Master Heihachiro Honta. Are you sure you want to reply at a later date?

"Yes."

"I think it would be beneficial for both sides if co-cultivation became possible"

"Yes."

Loyal victory, commonly known as burnout syndrome, listens to Shizuko and answers yes yes.

Yasushi, who has been pitiful to the boulders, pokes at the flank of his loyalty while taking care not to be noticed by the Danes.

"(That's why I told you. Your story is too far-fetched to be understood the other way around. Tell him to tell him some more directly)"

"(But... what an embarrassment... the...)"

"(I did prepare cotton to distract the woman, which is a step forward for you. I also compliment the woman for coming up with Hua with the awkward advice that she likes beautiful things. But not at the end. Then let's grow Hua together, it just sounds like you're saying!

"(stuffed... no, wait. Depending on what you think, this is a step forward, too. Anyway, more chances to see Shizuko about the cotton. If so, this is good!

"(... well, if that's okay with you...)"

Shizuko, on the other hand, was also sneaked into his ear by Tanyu.

"(Lord Shizuko, is that cotton so worth it?

"(It's not a hua called cotton, it's worth it to the fruit)"

"(Ho... I'd like you to explain the value if you don't mind)"

"(A fiber called cotton that can be removed from cotton is moisturizing, breathable and light. And they are loved by civilians as inexpensive, mass-produced, profitable and fibrous. (Historically, earlier... well, okay) I'll be talking about Nanban, but cotton cultivation is such a fruitful undertaking that the British Empire, which dominates a country called India, is doing so much)"

"(If that's all, isn't it already grown by the Three Rivers?

"(Since cotton is imported from tomorrow, merchants such as Sakami have no eye for domestic cotton. And it seems that only a few people in the Three Rivers also realize the value of cotton. No matter how many sellers and merchandise you have, you won't be able to do business without a buyer)"

"(I see... but if it's less valuable, couldn't it have been easier to get seeds, etc? Why, they take the roundabout method of co-cultivation, etc.)"

"(Wouldn't it be suspicious if the rationalist hall suddenly offered something worthless?

"(... you are told that Lord Shizuko would be more natural to acquire seeds and introduce them to Ozhang after co-cultivation)"

Shizuko nods small at the words.

It is better to naturally pass it on to Ozhang Kuni and then carry out a major production.

There is also a saying that hurry hurries to hurt things. In order to hasten the introduction of cotton, they would eventually lose money if they were distrustful from around them.

"Lord Hirayaro Honta, your story must go through the hall. So please respond at a later date."

"I know the phase. We had a sudden conversation and were very rude."

When Zhongsheng lowered his head while saying so, Tanyu also lowered his head to imitate it.
