Chronicles of The Hardships of Komachi in The Sengoku Era

Shizuko was appointed an Oda family counselor, but then after nearly two months of days, there was no tone out from Nobunaga.

There is no talk of the horses, nor of the soldiers, nor is there any way that people will ask with them.

Shizuko felt a little uneasy when she didn't say anything, although Shinako was concerned about avoiding the peasant breeding season.

Shizuko had a hunch that her next job would be to "write down the production of salt and blackboard, and the manufacturing method."

The materials needed for them are relatively simple.

The tools you need to make salt are easy, and the lumber to hang them.

The blackboard should have plank-shaped wood in ink and persimmon, and the chalk should have paste and lime.

At last, Shizuko thought about building a stone kiln, but soon discovered the problem. There were no bricks in Japan at the time.

And if it's just bricks, you can dry the ingredients together in heavenly sun, but the stone kiln needs to be made of fire-resistant bricks.

It was necessary to start with the creation of a continuous house-bearing kiln (climbing kiln) necessary to create refractory bricks. The climbing kiln, with a maximum sintering temperature of around 1300°C, is the best in mass producing refractory bricks.

Shizuko is stunned to see what she writes there, as she opens her black history notes to examine the structure of the climbing kiln.

Fire-resistant bricks were written on the list of materials needed for the climbing kiln. It is a static child who has fallen into the mysterious dilemma that a fire-resistant brick is necessary to create a fire-resistant brick.

Distressed and finally she realizes. At first, we need a kiln that specializes in the manufacture of refractory bricks.

Fortunately, there was plenty of time to spare. Therefore, Shizuko was able to take the time to make the kiln.

However, when I learned only the results, which were the essence of my ancestors' knowledge, it was not suddenly possible to burn bricks, but in each process of the work, and it took time to investigate the cause of it.

I need an earthwork machine to make clay first, but when I designed this machine, Shizuko assembled it unaware of the big mistakes.

As a result, the earthwork machine became useless due to skewed loads shortly after it became operational. Shizuko was supposed to spot a glitch from a damaged earthwork machine.

After spending two weeks looking at the blueprints and damage and finding the faulty spot, the small faults found after operation were rectified and the earthwork machine number was created.

There was no major damage this time, but repeated fine-tuning while using it gave the appearance of making clay.

Not to say that we can create fire-resistant bricks as long as we overcome them, but we still have to face a variety of problems.

After the bricks had been cooked, it was necessary to cool them over time, but she lost consciousness and cooled them rapidly. Naturally, bricks vulnerable to sudden temperature changes could not withstand it and broke after contracting.

Problems also occurred with kilns for the manufacture of heat-resistant bricks. There was a temperature difference between the front side and the back side and the heat was not transmitted evenly.

As a measure of this, the smoke emitting mouth "flue", or chimney, was replaced with another.

It was transformed into a chimney longer than three metres long, drawing out smoke due to the difference in barometric pressure, while at the same time drawing the fire to the back to get it across.

Unlike the wisdom of repeatedly experiencing practice, as in agriculture, his own specialty, the creation of refractory bricks was a succession of failures.

But instead of being depressed, she even enjoyed the failure. Even though the cause investigation, correction, verification and plain work will continue if there are any defects.

When such a muddy life lasted for about a month and a half, a decent refractory brick was finally completed.

Although the number of bricks baked is about 300 and small, the refractory bricks returned the same sound as when the metal was beaten high and clear when beaten with a gavel, as if to prove that the previous struggles had been fulfilled.

The next few thousand, if you do poorly, you'll need tens of thousands of refractory bricks, but from now on, she thought you should make them slowly.

However, she is oblivious to certain things about fire bricks.

That the refractory bricks available for stone kilns are both strategic resources that can be converted to blast furnaces where steel can be smelted.

"Ha, it's peaceful..."

To the extent that the occasional sentence of loyalty entrusted to the early horses arrived, Shizuko's village was peace itself.

Technology transfer has progressed without delay since then. Even more delightful was the completion of the manpower planting machine for the two plants for Cheng Seedling.

Maintenance was somewhat cumbersome but effective enough to dramatically reduce planting time.

"Cotton is also growing... I was surprised when Hondo brought direct inoculation..."

The joint cotton cultivation will take the form of a visit from Nobunaga to Jia Kang before construction, but in fact it was a visit from loyalty to Jia Kang.

Jiayang, who thought he had feelings of loyalty, acknowledged this.

However, the plan was carried over to the next fiscal year because the territory was involved and the location would be ready immediately.

Listening to that story, Shizuko, who wanted to experience cotton cultivation once by next year, added to his sentence of loyalty an improbable sentence: 'I want to see the seeds of cotton'.

So if I got the seed, I thought it would be good if I couldn't, but the act of loyalty was on the oblique side of Shizuko's expectations.

"Lord Shizuko! I came with seeds!

No way. Loyalty himself came to deliver the seed. Dan Yu, who is the relay point for the two sentences, was also unexpected about this.

And even if Tanyu says he'll give it to you later, Tadashi says, 'A man will give it to Shizuko!' He didn't give in hard, and ended up being the feather on which Shizuko was called.

"Dear Shizuko, you can see the forest"

"Yeah, that's abrupt. Yeah, okay. I'll be right there."

Shizuko moves to the room where Kesei Mori is located after she has put her temper in her frightened face.

"Sorry to keep you waiting... did you?

When I greeted him and entered the room, two adult men and one child refrained behind Kasei Mori.

One has a large body and is the owner of a giant body unlike the Warring States.

The other had an atmosphere of true honesty. But at the same time, he's a strange person with a wild taste.

Shizuko sits in her usual place while leaning her neck against someone she has never seen before.

As she sat, Kasei Mori opened her mouth.

"I came here today about the Horsemen. I'm sorry I couldn't get my horse out early, and I'm in a hurry."

"Oh, no, no problem."

"It would be bad to let them take up too much time, so I'll make it brief. Let me introduce you to the Horsemen first. Keizo Maeda and Keizo Keizo Keizo Keizo are the ones who are holding back on the right."

Among the people who were introduced, Keizai opened his mouth as he watched Shizuko with the eyes of a guy who seemed interesting.

"Call me Celebration. Is that you? The man who made the great legend at Oda's Hall of Fame's liquor party a while ago."

(What, that awesome legend!?

Shizuko attended a solace reunion a few months ago, but she had lost her memory at that time.

When I woke up, I slept in my room. And since then, everyone's attitude has changed with gallery.

If you do it, you go into a bad attitude, and even if you ask why, you pierce total silence.

Once I questioned Dan Yu, he got away with everything he could.

Nobunaga remained the same, but she was quite fond of the dark princess for whether its' something 'affected her.

Shizuko turns her gaze to Kasei Mori. He rushed off his gaze.

"We have also always named ourselves Talent Zao in front of us. You can call me talented. I was actually going to serve Shibata-sama, but I was quickly turned here because people didn't get together."

"Regards"

So Shizuko realizes. That the last boy has not been introduced at all.

"Um... where's the boy behind you?

"Hmm? Yeah, this kid's my son."

Shizuko, whose hips were drawn to the boy who would stare at him, asks Kesei Mori without a scratch.

In an atmosphere that was likely to bite, Shizuko wondered if his second son, Chief Musashi Mori, could do it.

"His name is Seung-zo."

Shizuko held her head in her heart, but managed not to show it to her face.

"Ha... is that right? Nice to meet you, huh?

I reached out, but the longevity turned that way. Moments later, Kasei Mori's fist bone swung down on his head.

A creepy sound bursts. How painful it was, Long Ke holds back where it hurts with tears eyes.

"Don't be rude. Lord Shizuko is the son of the Ayakoji family and an important dignitary of the Hall."

"But Father. I don't know how many dignitaries you have in the hall, but it's a girl! What do I learn from this person!

(Ha-ha-ha, haven't we talked about something weird?

Shizuko, who had no idea of herself and felt that the conversation was going on on on her own, tried to voice her doubts.

Before that, Nagako, whose face was reddened by anger, shouts as she points to Shizuko.

"Though the life of the Hall of Lords, I'm sorry Mahei for serving women and such!

"Uh, I can hear some anxiety words... what's going on?

When he raised his hand small and asked Kasei Mori, he said this with a slightly troubled face.

"The pavilion said, 'We should put a new breeze in the army, too,'"

"Yes."

"So I asked her to work out for Shizuko."

"…………………………………………………………?

Naniiternoconocht, and went to his mouth, so Shizuko hurriedly held his mouth by his hand.

"I can't connect the first and second half of the story at all...... what do you want me to work out in the first place?

"I'll leave that to Shizuko."

"(Is it a round throw...) Um, no veto rights... right?

Kasei Mori laughs bitterly at the words. That's all I got the answer for.

When Shizuko sighed small, she decided to think positively in an attempt to somehow persuade Nagaka, who was still looking grumpy.

Is there any particular dissatisfaction with Celebration and Talent Zao? I have never been involved with Shizuko before.

I had a grin with Niyaniya, as if she enjoyed how Shizuko moves, especially the Celebration Next.

"(It's a little unscrupulous and dangerous... do you want to go this way) Uh, Katsuzo for now... okay. You're not happy you can work out to serve me or anything, are you?

……

He doesn't answer Shizuko's question, but he turns his back.

"You wouldn't know if you didn't say it with your mouth, would you? I'm not a reader... well, it's a parallel line, and here's one, let's play a game and decide the story."

"Battle?

Long enough to have a suspicious look, but quickly turns into a mocking laugh.

Apparently, it's a battle equals martial arts duel in him. Shizuko smiles slightly at the matter.

"When I win, I listen to people. If I lose, I will persuade the Hall Master to relieve me of this assignment. What do you say?

"Well, what can you persuade the Hall to do?"

"If you don't want to, you can say no, but in that case, you'll have a reputation for 'getting away with being challenged by a woman', right?

Did you touch it, Nagaka stares at Shizuko with her eyes open? Shizuko said this even more while she was frightened inside.

"Well, if you don't like it, you can't help it."

"Wait, who said no? Good, I'll take that fight."

"Roger. It's a way to compete... but I'm the one who mentioned it, and I'll decide?

"I don't mind. Whatever it is, I won't be late like a woman!

Shizuko, who understood that Nagako had fallen into a trap, continues the conversation with a grin inside her.

"Dear Forest. I'm sorry, could you be a witness to the battle?"

After seeing Kasei Mori snort, Shizuko turns to Nagako.

"Then I'll explain the battle again. I'm the one who decides how to fight first. And if I win, I will obey your orders. If I lose, convince the Hall Master that I didn't tell this story. All right?

"That's fine. So, what's the key game? Is that a horse? Is that a bow? Or uh-huh."

"Oh, yeah. That's brilliantly what I expected. But no, my battle is very simple."

With that said, Shizuko takes the brush and writes a letter on the paper.

When she finished writing something elsewhere about Nagaku with a strange look on her face, Shizuko said this with a piece of paper up.

"Translate this into the language of the Japanese book. Brilliant, if I can translate it, you win. If you can't translate it, you lose."

Everyone peeks at the paper. This is what the paper said.

"SHIZUKO" Why don't you listen to me? "

SYOZO "No problem. Everything's fine." '

Translation)

Shizuko: "Why aren't you listening to me?

Katsuzo: "It's okay, no problem"

Silence dominated the scene for nearly twenty seconds. What broke it was the scream of the chief.

"Hey, what the heck is this? - Uh-huh!?

"What, one of Nanban's words. So, translate?

Ignoring all the agitations and frustrations of Nagako, Shizuko sheds paper on him in an ever-calm manner.

"Don't be ridiculous! What the hell is this fight? Do you know what Nanban means?

"I'm not kidding, even serious. That's why I've asked you so many times, if I can decide the battle. By contrast, you affirmed that I could decide. [M] That's why I fought in my area of expertise."

"Huh... Huh!?

Still, Seung-zo tried to recruit something, but that was just pounding his mouth like a goldfish without words.

It's either Portuguese or Spanish when it comes to the warring South Barbarians. The famous Lewis Frois is also a Catholic priest of Portuguese origin.

Therefore, few people speak English. Maybe there were Nanbans who could use English just because it wasn't on the record.

But more than not in the record, Shizuko thought, 'There are no human beings who use English during the Warring States'.

That's why I dared to use English for battles.

"After that, I never said I would compete in martial arts. If that's what you thought, that's simply what you assumed. It hurts if you don't listen to people well, right?

"Come on, you coward."

"Whatever."

He shouted and shuddered, but it was dispelled with a word of Kasei Mori.

Shizuko trembles when she feels the temperature in the room has dropped suddenly. Shizuko wasn't the only one who felt that way.

Talent and celebration were also stretching their spines with cold sweats on their cheeks.

"That attitude, which I wobbly call out to you if you don't do what you want, is too ugly to see."

Lightly, Kasei Mori speaks the words in the usual tone. But there was no gentle grin on his mouth, and deep vertical wrinkles carved between his eyebrows.

"What an answer you gave to Lord Shizuko's question. 'Whatever it is, I won't take lag!' Didn't you reply? I won't tell you I forgot."

"But..."

"But there isn't. They don't always work the way you want them to. If this is a battle, you're the one who's been beheaded. Understand it well, and be ashamed of yourselves who have aroused it."

……

"This battle is the victory of Shizuko."

Kasei Mori declared Shizuko's victory after exhaling small.
