Chronicles of The Hardships of Komachi in The Sengoku Era

Nobunaga's frustration had reached its limit in early February.

In February, he leads 3,000 troops into separate formations. And he imposed arrow money on Nezaki, the port town, but the people of Nezaki refused to do so.

Following the Sakami crowd, Nobunaga decided that military pressure needed to be applied to the attitude of the Nezaki crowd.

After a battle with the Nezaki crowd, he burned down the knowledge (every thing) of the four towns of Nezaki (Shimitsu, Separate, Batsutsuji, and Tatsumi), each independent.

Cities plunged into havoc in this thorough scorched-earth operation. Divisions arose internally, such as those claiming to be respectful to Nobunaga, those claiming only total resistance, and those claiming to collaborate with other forces, such as Hondo Temple.

Without even knowing that self-destruction through internal division is the true purpose of Nobunaga.

In the end, the Sakami crowd, who was fanning the Nezaki crowd, succumbed, and on February 11th a de facto takeover of Sakami was executed, and Nobunaga's superiors were dispatched.

The congregation of Sakai gave out 20,000 pieces of arrow money, and did not hire soldiers after that, and the jailers (those who left their homes and lost their salaries. Since the mid-Edo period, people in prison have been called wanderers.) I vowed to Nobunaga that I could not do so.

So far it was finally forgiven, but Nobunaga imposed a harsh annual contribution to Sakami, combined with warnings to other cities.

As a result, some of the scythes lost a great deal, and others were clearly separated from those who extended their power to the occasion. Soku Imai is the head of the man who showed his head.

Since he showed Nobunaga his obedience as soon as possible, he became a trader in iron and gunpowder who would take Nobunaga's iron gun orders into his own hands.

This leaps Soku Imai to the top of the Sakai crowd at once. But there were unexpected pitfalls waiting for him, too, which looked like a smooth, full sail.

Soku Imai invited him to "tea water" to buy Nobunaga's pleasure, but contrary to his expectations, Nobunaga woke up to tea water.

It is possible that Nobunaga once drove Heijia west and had the same feelings as Yoshiaki Kiso, who fulfilled Uelo.

In any case, tea water is the sagging, or status, symbol of the nobles of the time.

In order to jump the complex to public houses and Kyo humans, it was possible to acquire cutting-edge culture as well as force, and to have tea apparatus under the heavens, to try to prove that he deserved the strength to grip under the heavens.

Nobunaga woke up in tea water, but he ignored any of the stones: aligning minimum tea utensils and taking steps to change tools to suit his own proficiency.

It's the same in modern times, but collecting antiques, art, etc. is not a good idea as long as you give money.

Collecting high-value objects as arrow cod can become a gold hobby, and if you don't have the eyesight to spot the truthfulness, you can be grabbed fake. Nobunaga, however, by intimidating him against the background of force, forced him to supply good quality and quality goods, and let his overwhelming financial power say things and buy them up at the root.

Nobunaga's collection of tea utensils, dubbed "tea vessel hunting", "specialty hunting" and "name vessel hunting" in the later world, caused Sakaki and Kyo's tea men to tremble heartily.

The famous hunt made me feel a little worried, and Nobunaga's mood seemed somewhat restored.

However, he was still dissatisfied with the food and living environment of his clothing and living quarters. Among other things, he was unhappy with the bedroom far from comfortable, the environment where bathing was irresistible, and especially the food that did not fit his mouth.

As many as nine cooks had already been necked, and a quick resolution was required, but Shizuko, who seemed to show a solution, could not leave the tail on Nobunaga's orders.

In the end, Hideyoshi and Mitsui continued to be exposed to intimidation similar to Nobunaga's killings until early March.

In early March, Shizuko finally left the position of commanding the front lines and was able to twist some leeway.

Not long before that, three wooden lathes were completed in early February and a hand washing machine was completed and started operating in late February.

Although Yamaba has passed, I would like to beg her to leave the tail tension at an opaque time when she is still ahead, but I decided that it would be difficult to send her any further forward because of the shorter interval between Hideyoshi and the letter she receives from Kwang-soo.

He took 500 gestures and three of the Celebrations, Talent Zao and Changkai to Kyoto. Many luggage was prepared by Shizuko herself in order to become a strictly guarded queue, but the queue of luggage carrying supplies to Kyo on a hitchhike also presented the appearance of a later matrix of great names.

Shizuko herself needed to enter Kyo ahead of her luggage, leading a few elites and moving horses one after the other.

The luggage squad that comes to Kyo late will also arrive safely in Kyo a few days late, thanks to soldiers sent by Hideyoshi.

Shizuko, who arrived in Kyo ahead of schedule, is greeted by Mitsuko.

"Thank you, you've come well. You may be tired of the forcible forces, but please say hello to the house."

"Master Akechi's own welcome and pleasure."

With a stomachache, he tells Shizuko most so when he opens his mouth.

She thought it was more serious than she imagined. This is the first time Mitsuko and I meet each other in the face, but he was not surprised that Shizuko was a woman.

In fact, almost everyone who met her for the first time did not hide their surprise at the gender and youth of Shizuko.

Even adding to the possibility that Mitsuko had heard about Shizuko from people, his low interest in Shizuko meant that he was so stuck with cutting feathers that he couldn't distract himself that much.

"If you're in the bath, I'm letting the man in charge prepare you. We'll get you to the hall first and get you ready for lunch."

"Oh, I'm sorry, but it's nice to meet you. The people in the cooking area are getting ready."

Saying so, he walked away holding the area around his stomach. Leaving him alone, he's going to lose momentum with a stomach ulcer.

As it is, Nobunaga's stress propagates to subordination. In the worst case scenario, that could have contributed to the internal collapse.

Shizuko wonders why Nobunaga is under strong dietary stress. The answer is very simple.

Human beings with status in Kyo basically don't exercise. In contrast, Nobunaga is from the Wujia family. Inevitably, you have to take more salt than the people of Kyo to maintain your body.

Either of them is not superior, but Shinagawa. The historical context that has been traced in Wujia culture is different from that of nobility and other public households.

But the public households immerse themselves in a sense of superiority, thinking that they are equal-savage undeveloped people who don't understand the taste of Kyo.

We immerse ourselves in a sense of superiority that we are the heart of Japan, arbitrarily interpret our culture as superior, and push our own culture, the quote that barbarically called for other cultures.

Without realizing that such acts are the lowest "barbaric" acts in human history that give birth to frequent clashes.

Let's get back to food.

Nobunaga from Ogi prefers dark flavoring. It is Nobunaga who holds the real power of Kyou, even if Kyou's culturalists ridicule Nobunaga's taste with shadows.

Reality is ruthless. If you don't satisfy Nobunaga, Kyou's future won't be brighter.

It's a little unpleasant to be pulled out for this, but I don't think I can help but say stupidity, and Shizuko considers the cause of Nobunaga's dissatisfaction with his diet.

For the record, Kansai and Kanto differ in flavoring, but there are quite complicated circumstances.

For example, soba sauce is used in Kansai as a clear and elegant sauce, and in Kanto as a rich sauce with dark colors. This difference is supposedly due to "differences in Dashi culture." [* 1]

What can be said in common for both Kansai and Kanto styles is that glutamic acid and inosinic acid combine to bring out the flavor.

Glutamic acid is a common ingredient in kelp and soy sauce, while inosinic acid is known to be high in bonito.

Differences in approach to this flavour ingredient emerge as the historical context of food culture.

In Kansai, it was originally customary to use kelp, so it was made up of glutamic acid with kelp, inosinic acid with bonito, and seasoned with salt or light soy sauce.

For this reason, a dish with a strong flavour could be achieved even with a light color dashi.

On the other hand, Kanto was brought in late from the Kombucha production area, and because of the underdevelopment of transportation, Kombucha was a luxury category.

Therefore, I am not in the habit of using kelp, and made up for glutamate with dark soy sauce.

This added dark soy sauce (glutamic acid) to bonito (inosinic acid), which constituted a good flavor and produced a dark Kanto-style sauce.

In Kansai, glutamic acid was taken with kelp, so only a little light soy sauce had to be used. In Kanto, glutamic acid was taken with dark soy sauce, so kelp was unnecessary.

Even assuming that the kelp was distributed in large quantities to Kanto, the question remains whether it was disseminated.

That is because Kanto's water is "hard water" with high hardness. When the kelp is simmered in hard water, the calcium in the water adheres to the kelp, making it less likely that the umami is extracted.

Then the attached calcium binds with the ingredients of the kelp, which becomes ac and clouds the dashi. Even harder water makes it smell good at the same time as the kelp aroma.

Even "hard water" is not impossible to make kelp stock, but it takes much longer than soft water to work with.

and many challenges, it was historically inevitable that kelp was not used in Kanto.

(If it's a little inconvenient, I think that a silently patient hall speaks out loud and complains because of the root part, not the superficial layer)

Some predictability but no conclusive information. Shizuko, who thought so, purchases information from those involved in Nobunaga's cooking, and those involved in his life.

Shizuko is ready to cook now that the answer has returned as expected. Just in time for lunch, she finished the dish.

"Thank you for waiting"

I am in a room with Nobunaga along with a small surname with a basin.

Nobunaga sat in the top seat, Hideyoshi and Mitsuyuki sat on his left hand side.

"Oh, wait... here we go?

Hideyoshi sees Shizuko. No wonder he brightens his face, but when he sees the dishes served, he turns into a look of confusion.

In a nutshell, it was a qualitative dish.

Rice served in a tea bowl, miso soup with onions, chicken potatoes, pine nut hives, shallow pickled turnip skin.

Apart from chicken potatoes, from Hideyoshi's point of view, the meal served by Shizuko was something that was routinely eaten by warlords in Ozhang.

"Enjoy, please"

That's what Shizuko said at the same time as placing the basin in front of Nobunaga.

"Before you eat, ask why you chose this dish"

Nobunaga's expression remains unchanged and rugged. Hideyoshi and Hideyoshi, whose liver was cold about the matter, but Shizuko answers with a powerless natural grin.

"With all due respect, the Hall examined the dedication held over the past few days. As I expected, it was just a luxurious Kyo-style treat. A few days or so will be rare and not bitter, but it is inevitable that the day after day treat will bore you. This is my guess, isn't the innkeeper suffering from eating?

"... not the same guy who talks as if he saw it for himself"

"Let me take that word for affirmation and acceptance. I'll get back to you. There is a difference between a daily meal that never gets tired of and what is usually intended as a one-time treat. I thought that everyday dishes reminiscent of my hometown, Ozhang, were desirable for a restaurant with a gastronomic wound."

"Huh, a dish that gives peace of mind? Okay, don't hesitate."

Nobunaga puts the potatoes of the bird meat in his grasping mouth with chopsticks.

I was silent for a while. However, Shizuko was convinced that this operation was a success to see the gradual danger taken from Nobunaga's face.

"Satisfying rice, or..."

Nobunaga, who flattened the dish, groans in a potpout.

His whining words were static, which sounded like they included loneliness as loneliness.

"May I, Lord Shizuko?"

Shizuko, who was lowering Nobunaga's dishes with her talent, looks back called from behind.

It was Kwong Soo who stopped calling. When he arrived in front of Shizuko, he bowed his head deeply to Shizuko, even though there was a minister behind him.

"Thank you"

Shizuko hurriedly bows her head to Kwang-soo when she realizes that it is a short but reward for relieving Nobunaga's dissatisfaction.

"Oh, that's terrible."

"Ha ha, you don't have to be modest. But as I was saying, you were a really young girl. I'm a little surprised, but the courage to not move that hall forward is stunning."

Mitsui laughs luxuriously with people's good grins.

"Now excuse me. Keep up the good work."

That's what Kwong Soo says and walks away. The minister who was behind him followed after Mitsuko after giving his thanks to Shizuko.

Mitsui, who has various accolades, looked like a serious personality figure to Shizuko's eyes.

But don't be alarmed. He took Nobunaga just before the reunification of Japan, and his successor Nobunaga.

It is impossible to trust Him entirely more than it is clear why Kwang-soo caused the main temple freak.

(... there's another person I'll keep an eye on at the Oda family minister... I guess I shouldn't move poorly now)

Continued suspicion of the Oda family minister worse than the lack of certainty leads to extra commotion.

Shizuko thought it was time to accumulate the power to crush all the signs of a monumental freak.

(There are a lot of collaborators in that... building a faction poorly is also a problem)

"Master Shizuko? How did you do it? Anywhere you think of Akechi-sama...?

Ask Shizuko, who was still pointing toward him even after Mitsu-su was out of sight, as Talent tilts his neck.

"Thought I was disturbed to hear about the Kyoukyo Police Force."

"Oh, Master Akechi has taken over the Kyou-jing Police Force."

"I wanted to know what's going on... now, okay?"

You were convinced of Shizuko's words, and Talent said nothing more.

"Then I'll have to get rid of the dishes in the kitchen."

Besides improving the dietary situation, there were piles of projects entrusted to Shizuko.

First, a Okabe style wooden barrel bath and a barrel for foot water transported from Ozhang to relieve Nobunaga's dissatisfaction with the bath. The bedroom simply brought in the futon.

The manufacture of futons is prohibited without Nobunaga's permission. Shizuko therefore decided to carry a set of futons that Nobunaga kept in the villa.

Wooden barrel baths, buckets for foot water, a set of futons, and other futons and ceramics were all transported to Kyoto to relieve Nobunaga's grievances, but later Nobunaga used them differently from Shizuko's outlook.

First, the ceramic dishes were prepared for use by Nobunaga and come in a variety of designs.

Some of them are lined up with tea bowls, miso soup, and dishes to put on the freckles, and are applied with a single picturesque karaki for the first time. This is thanks to Nobunaga's various protection policies for porcelain made in Shizuko's technical district, just like Seto's ceramics.

In warring times, when porcelain itself is rare, more well-designed dishes are treated as normal.

Kyou and Sakai culturalists who have so far ridiculed Nobunaga as a "crude mountain monkey with no cultural upbringing" will feel inferior with surprise. Needless to say, I lost more words knowing foot bath, hot tub bath and futon.

In anticipation of the timing, Nobunaga gave some of the ceramics as a reward. It's like they're natural, and I said I don't need to take anything personally.

Those given were amazed at the originality of the ceramics. Some of them tried to attack their personality because they were despicable to flirt with this level of product, but they were unable to prepare any more products themselves, which only resulted in damage to their reputation.

Nobunaga looked ruthlessly evil at this time, Shizuko later says. It would have been a sarcastic thought to give cultural and unprecedented goods to those who said that they were the culturalists.

But there are things Nobunaga himself hasn't noticed. Humans have a common deep fear of living in different areas, cultural backgrounds, and races.

Among them is "the unknown is scary". In other words, Kyo and Sakai culturalists had unspeakable fears of being given ceramics by Nobunaga.

Nobunaga, in particular, gave them ceramics close to being "proud," which also doubled their fears because there was little hostility or malice.

Shibata and Sasako's hostility towards Shizuko is also stronger in that she is an "unknown being" than a woman.

Seven days later, Nobunaga returned interest to the people of culture, very happy with the meal, soothed fatigue in the bath, and slept comfortably in a futon.

Now there were no servants frightened by Nobunaga, and they were living and fulfilling their mission. The atmosphere similar to Nobunaga's own and the first killings lurked the ringing, now entangling a soothing atmosphere.

Shizuko tells Nobunaga that she will return to Ozhang because her purpose in Kyo has been achieved. But the answer I came back to was "Stay in Kyo for a while".

Shizuko goes to Nobunaga to ask why.

The reason is really simple. A few days ago, a Nanban missionary applied for a look. I'm talking about meeting with that Nanban missionary tomorrow.

(Uh, time's ticking, but you're dealing with Lewis Floyce.)

Nobunaga never caught sight of Lewis Floyce last year.

He refused to meet because he "did not know how to welcome the South Barbarians," although he had heard of the situation of Lewis Floyce from his minister, Uji Wada.

At that time, they only received one gift and returned it to Lewis Floyce to apologize for not seeing him.

"I don't know one thing about Nanban right now. Just fine, let's hear about the world today. You're from Nanban."

"............................................. Huh? Oh, yes. Oh, you did. Yes...... (it was still active, its settings)"

Nobunaga had found Shizuko was not from Nanban, although it had not been noticed that he had come from the future.

That's why Shizuko couldn't keep up with her understanding when she told me she was from Nanban. But when he switched his head in a hurry, he nodded to Nobunaga's words.

"It's just good that you know...... it's hard to talk there. Come closer."

That being said, Shizuko approaches Nobunaga about two steps. But you're not convinced. He said, "Come closer."

I have no choice but to check on Nobunaga as I move forward. At last, he came to the front of his seat, but still the look on Nobunaga's face remained the same.

(Yep... Ko, are you sure you want to come up here? No, no matter how much...)

"I don't mind. Just come on up."

Nobunaga urges Shizuko to take the upper seat, to Shizuko, who can't hide the confusion.

Primary surnames and subordinates could not hide their surprises, but Shizuko was more surprised than that. The upper seat is where a person of high stature sits, the farthest seat from the entrance.

I'm just a little lost static, but I bend my back and go up to my seat. I allowed you to get so close because I thought Nobunaga had some thoughts.

Shinako nods slightly as Shinako moves almost in front of Nobunaga. That's a good sign.

"Sometimes words alone don't make sense. I have a blackboard that I can hold with my hands. It would be better to use it as an aid to explanations."

Blackboard is handed over with words. If you look closely, the blackboard had letters written on it.

"Don't turn your back on this and answer my questions."

I almost saw Nobunaga's face unexpectedly, but I stopped there and Shizuko lightly paid for the blackboard as if nothing had happened.

When the letters written by Nobunaga are successfully erased by hand, the blackboard is returned to Nobunaga.

"You don't have a quality problem. I think the pavilion will write something too, so why don't you let the person who talks have a blackboard?

"Hmm... that's a good idea, so let's go. First... I don't know the difference between Buddha and God. The boys curse the Accompaniment as a wicked man. But it doesn't make any difference that both are gods. What difference does it make between God and Buddha?"

"Religious forces have strong dominance, but what exchanges the backbone of their faith"

They give me the blackboard at the same time as I finish saying it. As unconscious as possible to the blackboard, Shizuko answers Nobunaga's question.

"Right...... neither Buddha nor God has any substitute in terms of 'manifesting power'. But the way it manifests itself differently. Buddha manifests power in 'nature', God only manifests power in 'personality'"

"The temple is a fortified city and a base for weapons manufacturing. It also dominates commercial and logistical hubs, from which it derives enormous wealth. '

"Is the form that manifests the power different? If that idea is true, I can say that neither God nor Buddha make a big difference. In the end, it's just how people see power."

"What's so powerful about the temple in Kichichichi?"

"I personally do not believe in Buddha or God. No… should I say I'm not blind rather than not believing"

"First of all, Bishosan Yuenji Temple, the largest millionaire organization in Japan, owns a large number of estate territories, lends to see its foothold like a high-interest loan, and dominates commerce and logistics. Today, the Tendai owner of Mount Bee is Prince Yoshimiya, the fifth son of Prince Jeong-doo Fushimiya.

"Ho, what can I say, but I can't feel the Buddha's faith from you?

"The main temple is"

"My grandmother always said: It is not good to rely on the Divine Buddha for everything from the beginning,... instead of asking the Divine Buddha from the beginning, I will first accomplish all my efforts. He said that we should finish all of them and beg for the power of the Divine Buddha for things that are out of the reach of men for the first time."

"The main wishful temple is holding down the distribution base in Kichinai. And the museum produces profits from the prototype of the Rakuma Rakuza policy enforced in Gifu. The eleventh of the main temple is remarkable. The appearance is a legal name, the hospital number is Shinnoku Hall, and the name is Kurosa. My wife is Ruchuni, and her sister is Sanjo, the main room of Takeda Tokuyoshien Shingen"

You mean to show God your work and wait for the consequences?

"As familiar as ever."

"Stand by as human as you can. I say we do our best to wait for Heavenly Fate."

"I can't tell you why, but I will never betray you."

"But what can I say, isn't it easier to ask God Buddha from the start?

'Whatever there is. The pinnacle of stupidity, such as keeping the talented away, just because you don't know where you're from. And seeing what you've done so far, I see you as someone I can trust. "

"By analogy, suppose there was an all-powerful king in a country who could do anything. The subordinates always think the decision of the omnipotent king is right, and all things depend on the judgment of the king. Even if it's about a couple fights."

"I'm not a genius, but I will try my best to live up to your trust."

"Don't feel bad about the attitude of relying on the strong from the start. I see, so after you've done everything you can, wait for the heavenly extraction. Not a bad idea...... let's get back to it. What kind of a congenial is that?

'Shall I return to it? What do you think about hostility to temple forces at the moment? Don't hesitate, don't cover it up. "

Nobunaga coughs deliberately. I guess I tried to change the air.

Whether it's the air between you and Shizuko, not the people around you.

"Nanban...... I call it Europe, but it is the largest religion in Europe. There are no other religions, but you can call them small."

'Temple forces and hostility are not a good idea at this time. First of all, I am hostile to the Hall. I was wondering if we should do something about Asakura and Lord Hatoshi Asai. If you leave it like this, it will eventually be hostile to the Hall in some way. As far as I'm concerned, I would like to offer to draw Shinkuro Asai into our camp. "

"It's like Buddhism here."

"Apparently the situation is much worse than I imagined."

"Right. Like Buddhism in Japan, the Accompanying Union is widely believed in Europe. From Europe to here, people called missionaries come to Japan to preach."

'I'm never threatening you... but if you make too many enemies at once, you'll be in a quadruple song. It may be teething for the hall, but please provide some tolerance to respond'

"I see. It wouldn't be nice to have too much preconceptions. The congenial story is good to this extent."

The conversation is over. Shizuko strokes her chest down relieved that it was finally over.

About two hours in time, but she felt like she had been talking in for nearly half a day.

Head down to Nobunaga, Shizuko slowly descends from the upper seat. I'm done talking, so there's no reason to stay in the upper seat for long, and most importantly, just being in the upper seat tightens my stomach.

"Thank you for your hard work. I can go home and rest my body today, but good."

"Words without body. Then I beg your pardon today."

"Um, it's a pleasure to meet you tomorrow."

Shizuko unexpectedly turns back on Nobunaga for a word she won't listen to.

He smiled like a prankster and said this to Shizuko.

"Tomorrow I'll have you present."

The next day, Shizuko, as Nobunaga declared, was to be present at the meeting with Floyce.

You need to hide your face in a security way, so wear a headscarf and martial arts attire, wrap a salad around your chest so you can look like a man whenever possible.

(Mm, my chest hurts...... ugh!! No, I'm not big enough to be proud of people. And my face steams...)

I thought you wanted me to take part in the tour, but on second thought, she understands that this tour is not an easy story.

Kyou and Sakai have a lot of Fahwa followers. But there are many quite forceful aspects of this Dharma sect, such as slandering other sects in order to expand their followers.

As a result, it often developed into a bloody protest that did not even go as far as a battle.

I guess it's a consideration not to get caught up in that sort of thing. But I guess I didn't have to let her attend that much, but Shizuko was the real deal.

As is historically the case, Nobunaga was to be seen as Floyce on the bridge of the construction site where he was building Nijo Castle.

It was Nobunaga who arrived first, and then a little later, a priestly figure and a believer appeared.

(Priest Lewis Floyce, and the interpreter, Monk Lorenzo.)

Nearly forty men are Floyce priests among the two who are bowing their heads in the distance.

Shizuko wondered if the other side was Monk Lorenso Tosai (Ilman), a Japanese Jesuit member.

(I don't see a Christian protector named Tomita Wada. I'm sure in the literature I put Floyce on this one...?

Move your eyes only to find someone who looks like Wada's only government. But I didn't see anyone like it anywhere.

While she was doing that, Nobunaga signaled them to come closer.

"It's Lewis Floyce. I thank you for your honor today."

Floyce introduces herself with an intonation specific to a foreigner who is not Japanese and conveys her thanks for the meeting.

"The sun is strong today. You should wear a hat."

(My face is going to steam)

It was a little hot in the headscarf because the sun was strong. But there was no reason to take it off, and there was nothing else to put up with.

Shizuko sees Lewis Floyce. The appearance is specific to the face and body of Europeans. He was a step taller than the average Japanese but slender instead.

Floyce has excellent observation and analytical skills, and the report he wrote is highly regarded in the Jesuits.

"In honor of being close to Oda, we have a gift for you today."

(Oh, there's going to be a famous array)

I felt a little uninteresting in the game clearance from the start, but it still makes a difference between knowing it in a book and seeing it in my own eyes.

Even though I knew what Floyce would dedicate, I was a static child who would get excited.

"It's golden flat sugar (Confederate) and flat sugar (Alferoa)"

Nobunaga, who saw it, was so impressed that he unwittingly loosened his expression. Not only he, but the samurai around him were instantly fascinated by that strange thing.

Only Shizuko, who knows what it is, was moved inside but seemed calm.

A good insightful Floyce couldn't have missed it. But soon, he reconsidered that he didn't look surprised because he was hiding his face with a headscarf.

"Interesting inside"

Nobunaga thought he would get it soon, but he gave instructions with his hand to give Shizuko a flask containing golden flask sugar.

"(Uh, tell me something) Here, what's in the flask bottle is Confeit. It's a sweet sugar sweet made with molasses."

"Ko, kon......?

Nobunaga listens back with a strange look on his face if he couldn't hear the pronunciation. Shizuko calmed her feelings slightly before mouthing the Portuguese word, which was once again the source of the golden flat sugar.

"Confeit, it is. Translated into Japanese books, it's golden flat sugar."

"... I see. What's this cylinder like?"

"It's an alferoa. Also translated into Japanese books, it's plain sugar."

Both golden and flat sugar are a kind of Nanban confectionery. Both are assumed to remain unchanged in taste for two to three years, as is sugar, as long as you watch out for moisture.

Especially if the golden flat sugar is made using traditional methods, it is so conservative that it is said to last from 20 to 30 years as long as you are aware of the moisture.

Because it helps reduce stress by seeing colorful confectionery that promotes calorie intake and saliva secretion necessary for the activity, it may be included with an emergency bread with ice sugar.

(I wonder if it's a little hard to hear because they both use Portuguese as their source... oh?

Shizuko, who felt her gaze, turns to you. Floyce and Lorenzo lost their complexion and were obviously looking at Shizuko in awe.

The Nanban confectionery and other offerings made by the missionaries were welcomed with surprise by every nation.

That was even the same Nobunaga that Floyce considers to be the representative of Nippon Book. But one of the people holding back on his side broke me into knowing what my gift was.

Floyce had unspeakable fears, but forced him to hold it down with faith.

God bless you.

Floyce had heard some rumors about him, but he reconsidered that he couldn't count on much.

Nobunaga barely listens to his subordinates' opinions, he only believes what he sees himself. But reality takes opinions from its subordinates, and makes judgments by pointing their opinions at the best of them.

I came to Nippon and saw it as a bunch of rulers, but Floyce thought it was the first of its kind like Nobunaga.

He is a rarely seen brilliant person with good reason and clear judgment, and has the measure of listening to the opinions of others with great wisdom.

I was also convinced of the reasons why the ministers were somewhat afraid of Nobunaga. More creepy than that is the samurai who hid his face (about Shizuko).

Nobunaga meets with Floyce with a relaxed look.

Although it feels like Nobunaga asks Floyce a question and Floyce answers it.

The content was varied, with some ages, where the country lived, what kind of country is India, how much it took to study Japanese language, and other curious Shinagawa content.

After answering that question, Floyce was somewhat concerned that he sometimes asked the samurai who hid his face.

"Floyce, does not the Lord's kinsman want to see you?

"Ha, ha, no... it's okay"

Floyce answers questions that suddenly turn into private content.

But Nobunaga continued his words without much concern.

"Right. But parents should take care of it. I miss my parents when I want to be filial."

In short, "no parents when they want to be filial". That's what I cared about Floyce, so to speak.

"Thank you. But I was taught by my father and mother. No matter what ordeal awaits, no matter what setbacks you taste, fulfilling the mission entrusted to you is the greatest filial piety. I will keep that teachings."

"So what will you do if the teachings of Deus do not spread in our country?

Nobunaga thought the missionary mission was to spread the teachings of Deus to other countries. If, then, Floyce did not spread his teachings, he was only interested in how he would behave.

"Even if I am one believer, I am determined to stay in the book for the rest of my life."

It was an unmistakable answer. The look on Floyce's face, and above all his eyes, spoke that the words were true without falsehood.

Nobunaga decides that Floyce visited the country to spread the religion he believes in.

Floyce hadn't noticed, but Nobunaga knew the Floyces in detail about the Jesuits. We also know that the missionaries have become the scourge of the country and are helping to invade.

We also know that their Jesuit missionary work is moving in line with 'adaptation policy'. A man who knows more about the Jesuits than anyone else in Japan.

That's why Nobunaga needed to decide whether Floyce was a scout for colonial policy or whether he was simply moving for faith.

"What do you think?

Nobunaga concluded in himself that he would 'issue permission for preaching'. But we need to know what others think, and speak to those under our command.

It is not accumulated from the caller, but there is no reason not to say what you think.

Most of the samurai who were just spoken to only said the answer was no difficulty.

"... what do you think?

Nobunaga, numbed by the failure to come up with a decent idea, asks Shizuko.

"From now on, they have a lot of trials ahead of them. The Buddhist monks will curse them as cults and obstruct preaching. There will also be people out there who will not accept their thoughts. There will also be people throwing cursing noises at them."

To that extent, Shizuko closed her eyes once and opened them again before continuing her words.

"Dear Luis Floyce, Lorenzo Sai, can you two pray for your enemies? 'Pray for those who love your enemies and blame you (Matthew V: 44)'?

"The Word… Yes, the teachings of my Lord are, 'Thou, abominable. Love thy enemies."

Floyce only fortifies his expression for a moment that a passage of the Bible has appeared in Shizuko's words.

But as soon as he eased his expression, he answered with a loving grin.

"Then no problem. Ladies and gentlemen, let me advise you that I… should recognize their preaching."

"Why?"

"If they preach with love, there is no reason to disagree with something. And one of them crosses blades with them, and they don't want to fight. Someone has to be their friend."

I'm saying something like that, but I don't really think about Shizuko very deeply.

I'm just trying to sort of line up the words that come to mind and somehow create a knowledgeable atmosphere.

"Are you friends with the Nanbans? I thought you'd be more aggressive."

He smiles niggardly and ill-willed as to whether the idea was revealed to Nobunaga.

He seemed to be questioning, asking about his real Shizuko's religious views. Shizuko, however, does not notice the area and speaks as he thinks.

"The museum while overstepping. Imagine a certain persuade them to bow their heads. What did someone look like at that time?

……

"That's right. You don't persuade them to look down. We're going to be friends to make sure you know something about the Hall."

Nobunaga laughed niggardly at Shizuko's words.

"Interesting"
