Chronicles of The Hardships of Komachi in The Sengoku Era

In early July, Shizuko took 2,000 elite soldiers up to Kyo.

This time, Nobunaga will serve to dedicate the son of Turkish Angola to the Emperor. Still, the soldiers are fully armed and ready to fight at all times.

Three other apprentice Takatigers, Xiao (Shige), a samurai who manages the house and the city, participated in the celebration of the warlord, Takazo and Nagatake, and Takati, the apprentice.

Furthermore, instead of the usual Kiso horse, the horse of the Arab species is used this time.

Even if you say you are using it, there are only four people crossing it: Shizuko and the Celebration, Talent Zone, and Nagako. The rest of the cavalry and Takati, Xiao (Sho), straddle the Kiso Horse.

Shizuko was even more noticeable from the people of Kyo, although the inclined people, who had a flashy appearance at the head of the celebration, were also prominent.

The beasts around her, not the most static child herself, stood out by the unusual.

There were relatively high Arab species about 155 cm in height, the Vitman family to surround the horse, siloganes on the left arm of the static child, acorns over the head of the horse, croganes before the static child and the animals at the source of the static child.

The Vitman family probably stood out the most. The body, the eyes sharp and the vibrant atmosphere had overwhelmed the beholder, which was not comparable to those of Shiba dogs or Japanese wolves.

But Shizuko only brought them in because she hadn't been able to play lately, and it didn't make that much sense.

Shizuko checks the health of Turkish Angola when she enters the inn she always uses in Kyo.

Check your ears, eyes, mouth, nose, breath, body, skin, and hair, then check for strange behavior or loss of appetite. I sent the cat to Nobunaga when I found out that there were no abnormalities in everything.

Just send it to Nobunaga and Shizuko's work will be done. After that, you should wait in the mansion until instructed. I had no problem playing in the city of Kyo if I didn't do too much waiting.

Keizai disappeared to some place with a lot of money, Changkai broke into the sumo room every time, and Jianzo was just playing with Beechers and chess of things that didn't leave the mansion, other than Xiao (Shige) and Takati were interested in playing.

"Then let's go play too"

Shizuko, the owner of the mansion, also had some leisure time, so he decided to head out to the city of Kyo. Noiko is Shizuko, Takati, and Xiao.

Window shopping and spilled Shizuko, but the market was sometimes smaller than Gifu's, and nothing attracted much attention. However, the goods sold had the smell of 'tradition' not found in Gifu's market.

"There's something traditional, but there's nothing interesting about it."

"Shizuko is on the side of making interesting things... Mm"

You noticed something. Talent control everyone with your hands. Looking ahead of his gaze, there was some sort of crowd. To see talent react, I didn't think it was a crowd in a very good way.

"Yoshiyoshi, contact the police force. In case Xiao thinks about it, call in about 100 soldiers from our house. This kind of thing is a battle with time. Yes, move!

Two people with little experience with this hand were horny against Shizuko, who skips instructions quickly. But when Shizuko made the breakthrough, he understood what he should do, and each rushed to the place of destination.

"Mr. Talent, I'll see what's going on in there. I've never been over it before if I can look at it for a long time, but it doesn't look that way."

"Ha. But be careful around you. The crowd is confused, and the suspicious may be after Shizuko."

"Yeah, I won't be impotent. If I can buy you some time before the police arrive, your word."

The two approach the crowd as they guard their surroundings. Almost as I approached the tip of my eyes and nose, the hustle and bustle reached their ears. I can tell from the conversation that one of them is raising his anger.

Talent breathed heavily as he stepped out in front of Shizuko when he understood the one-touch situation from the content of the conversation.

"What's all the fuss in the emperor's valley! Forgot that rubbing here is strictly forbidden!!

That was so much rage I couldn't even imagine from my usual talent. Nearby humans seldom look back at the rest of the shout, but they rush away from sight when they see talent drifting through the atmosphere of how many people go to the match.

The hedge broke as Talent took a step forward.

"Quiet down on both sides! Take a good look around!!

At the center of the rub, Talent warns both parties.

"Hey, what the heck, all of a sudden I'm shouting... Ugh!

A man complained, but received a sharp glance of talent, swallowing words along the way. A glimpse of all those who caused the disturbance, Giorgio slammed the ground at his disposal with the stone clash of spears in his hand.

The wild horses take a few steps back to the dull, loud noise. One group that caused the commotion also wandered in the temper emanating from the talent collection.

"Yes, put your weapons away. Are those two good?

Shizuko asks the two boys opposite the men who caused the commotion with a grin that makes them feel as hostile as possible. The two seem to be thinking up, and a young boy of great age is wandering his gaze.

But he concludes that it is best to hold the weapon and deliver the knife in his hand to the sheath.

As usual, the opposite leader personality had a knife in his hand and a disgraceful attitude, but he hurried to the sheath when the talent put up a spear.

"So why were you making a scene?

"Heck, I'll tell you...... no, it's nothing"

A man who turned that way in a fuzzy manner, but hung in a cold sweat at the killer of his talent. Still, I guess I can't show my men how weak I am to see that I won't change my attitude.

Don't be patient. It's obvious to everyone's eyes, but when they understand that talking about it won't start, Shizuko turns to the older of the two boys.

"The couple's son said he was a slave. But the couple say they are adopted children. In my opinion, the couple felt right. So I took the side of the couple."

"I'm talking about, is there a mistake?

"That's right. I bought it from a slave trader in five penetrations. I ran away from the war, but I finally found it."

Summarizing the stories of both sides, a bandit-style man bought a slave in five piercing sentences. But in the meantime a slave fled after being caught up in the battle of Usayama Castle. Looks like he found the couple's adopted son after a long bend.

"Off the record, do you both know this couple?

The last thing we know is who we are. From what I've seen, he's about fifteen years older and eleven years younger.

Shizuko thought it was Wujia's son and his first name to see where the older person was better off. If I assume that reasoning is correct, I can't think of any reason for the boys to bother aiding the couple.

The younger boy had an injury to his shoulder, either accidentally or to protect the Lord.

"There is no blood connection between me and the couple. But forsaking weakness is against my morality."

"... that's all?

"For no other reason."

As I assure you without hesitation, Shizuko is convinced that the boy is not thinking about being belly black.

If you're thinking about it, you should choose the words a little better in your earlier question. But even though the boy was clumsy, he did not decorate the words in any way.

"Yes, thank you. I will now ask the couple. I'm talking about taking that kid as an adopted son, but where did you take it from?

"Oh, yes. Um... from an orphanage run by the Oda family."

"Then there must be an adoption statement, but you keep it properly?

The orphanage under the jurisdiction of the Oda family is not a slave shop, but is intended to make children who have lost their parents independent and part of society.

Most of them are therefore apprenticed to artisan workshops, but are rarely taken as adopted children.

At that time, the official document issued by the organization of the Oda family, which has jurisdiction over the orphanage, is the "Adoption Certificate".

"Oh, yes! I did receive it!

"Assuming that's the real deal… the bill will go to the Oda family, so please interact with them."

Shizuko is sentenced to death for being a leader of a bandit. If an orphan in an orphanage is really a slave and a fugitive slave, the Oda family is supposed to pay for the purchase.

But that is if you can prove that you are the person who bought the orphan from the slave trader. If Nobunaga is in a bad mood, he is waiting for a painful return.

"Heh, heh, heh, heh, heh! I also lost five penetrating sentences here...... ugh!

The fiercely elevated man reached for the knife again. But the wild horses that were around them disappeared, and they realized that the fully armed footsteps were surrounding them, causing them to stop moving.

"My lord, as you ordered, I have gathered a hundred men."

That alone was about to break the hearts of the bandits, but from it was scattered in pieces of wood with words spoken by skilled soldiers in a respectful manner in front of Shizuko.

After that, the conversation cleared up with a great deal of clapping. I queried the adopted child extraction statement that was given to me, but it proved that it was not a false statement, and the couple's statement proved to be correct.

The bandits were taken to the police force on charges of causing disturbances. The young boys were not to blame for protecting the couple, but they received strict attention for not calling the police.

Last I checked for the boy's injury, but it was an unexpectedly deep and suture-needing injury, so I tried to treat him, but the boy began to refuse hard.

It's no big deal.

"Hmm, you say that, but it can rot by the time you pull it off, right?

Warlords in the Warring States are extremely reluctant to treat injuries. This is because when you are treated, you are branded a weak person. In turn, the people were using their own treatments to treat their injuries.

On the other hand, it was really rough when it came to how to treat it on the battlefield, and from modern times it was a dubious absurdity that worked.

In the case of arrow wounds that are common to injuries in a match, pull the arrow out at will and only rest after.

Besides, it was tantamount to the torture of not allowing people to sleep because they would die if they slept, even if they were to rest, and also not let them eat.

There is no medicine on the battlefield, so suspicious civilian therapy using what is close to you spreads.

For example, if I drank water that fried horse manure, the blood would stop, or if I drank piss, the pain would be relieved. There was a superstition going through.

Shizuko has abolished those methods of treatment and is serving a group of goosebumps doctors who specialize in treating wounded soldiers.

Although it cannot be treated as sophisticated as modern medicine, nevertheless, the golden acne doctor, who studied how to treat wounded soldiers and pharmacy within modern medicine, has made a significant contribution to reducing the number of casualties of war in the static army.

The reason why wounded static army foot lights and miscellaneous soldiers are less likely to die is none other than the fact that they are exerting their power as a force beneath the edge.

"Ugh... no problem!

"If you don't treat the wound properly, you could die six months later because of the wound, or the phrase that the wound rotted and maggots gushed, or the fungus could penetrate into the bone and taste unimaginable pain... well, I wouldn't say impossible"

The younger boy blues his face to the words of Shizuko, who is difficult to tell if he is persuading or threatening. But I shook my head sideways and kicked my own imagination out of my head.

The older boy, who watched the whole thing, turns to Shizuko when he exhales a heavy sigh.

"I'm sorry, but could you treat him? In this injury, you may truly die as you say. I don't want to lose him, please."

"My lord... I said my utmost. I would also like to ask you to treat me."

At the same time as I finish saying it, the older boy bows his head. The younger boy, who thought I couldn't say enough when the person he served told him to, lowered his head in the momentum of rubbing his head to the ground.

"Keep your heads up, both of you. But seizing a corner of the market and treating it is a problem. Hopefully you two will come to my mansion... no problem?

"No problem"

"My lord, being a child, putting strangers in the mansion..."

Xuanlang, who has remained silent until now, complains bitterly to Shizuko as he sees his talent. But when Giorzo put his hand on Xuanlang's shoulder, he swept his neck aside with a face that gave everything up.

Xuanlang, who saw it, also groaned with his hands on his forehead, then sighed small.

"Yes, my lord was so defenseless that his talents were also frightened. Let's play Grandpa's novel easily now."

"No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no Besides, I'm careful not to bother Grandpa Xuanlang too much."

Shizuko, who denies it with all her might, but Genroku and Genroku were all together and just sighed. At a time when I was walking through the city of Kyo without escort, it was like I was cutting off my guard.

With such a novel in his chest, Xuanlang sighs again.

"More than that, my lord, you're not going straight home, are you?

"I'm going to cry with a light flush... no, I'm going home normally?

Shizuko, who doesn't know the intent of the question, tilts her neck, but Xuanlang holds her temples down if she was frightened like that.

"If you are going home, rest assured that we are here to escort you! Then, my lord, you take your own business too lightly!

"Yes. Nice to meet you?

Shizuko, who thought it would be better not to defy him poorly, nods honestly at Xuanlang's words. Xuanluang, who had a slightly suspicious eye, raised his voice when he turned to the soldiers.

"You guys! Your Highness will return to the Mansion! Everybody, get in position!

As played by Xuanlang's voice, the soldiers simultaneously consolidate the perimeter of Shizuko. Shizuko only had a dry grin on the defense that kept him away from one man.

"(Ha ha... like it already) So... I'll throw it back"

To what Xuanlang's voice was, Shizuko issued a decree to the soldiers in a distracted voice.

The boy's injury was as bad as he thought, and it was only two weeks later that he could remove the thread.

In the worst case scenario, we will leave the golden sores doctors to return to Gifu, but Nobunaga is also taking some time, so we will stay in Kyoto a little longer.

"There seems to be a lot of decisions in the morning. Xiao, get three firewood."

Shizuko, who had no time for an unscheduled stay, was making confectionery in an arched stone kiln made of fire-resistant bricks that she was preparing for the mansion.

Castella is the sweet dish I baked in the stone kiln this time. No matter, I'm not eating them alone.

"Here you go, three firewood."

"Well, thank you."

Upon receiving the firewood, Shizuko immediately throws in two bottles to increase the firepower. When I knew from the fire appearance that I didn't need three pieces, I put the remaining one firewood aside.

"If you let the house go, it's classic for a thief to break in."

When a person enters a mansion that is not normally used, a luggage aiming thief breaks in. And sneaking in humans come after as few people as possible.

When Shizuko and the Celebrations paid for it, three thieves snuck in for gold objects.

But as soon as we know about the break-in of the thieves, the Vitmans and Shirogane, Krogane and Akagane attack them without question.

As a result, the first was quoted by the Vitmans as having their necks, hands and feet bitten and left in a semi-dead state, eating a thousand slices of the thief's throat just because Barty said stop.

The second died instantly as the nails of the silogane penetrated the orbit and reached the brain, the third was suffocated by the claws of the acorn and the crogane with crushed eyes, lungs, and guts, and fell into a pond.

Listening to Xuanlang's novel, Shizuko uses soldiers to carry out bodies she doesn't want to look directly at. Soldiers with a lot of experience in the match also did not want to see bodies with exposed brains and guts or wear cloths to keep them from looking directly at each other.

Needless to say, after this burglar invasion, soldiers began to look around the mansion with Shizuko.

I wondered if the Vitmans were stressed out, and Shizuko played with them more often after the incident.

The Vitman family, Shirogane, Kurogane, and Akagane feel more excited that Shizuko will be more comfortable than usual.

Even as he was baking Castella in a stone kiln, Shirogane was slapping Shizuko with his feathers just to tell him to play.

"Sorry, I have a visitor today"

Shizuko strokes Shirogane's head as she utters words of apology. Shirogane likes to be stroked in the head, so she kept her body with Shizuko to make her feel good.

When the stroke of Shizuko is finished, one rings and flies. When he stopped at his favorite tree in the mansion, he rang again there.

"Pfft, I can play tomorrow, so be patient today"

When I finish, Shizuko turns back to the stone kiln. Eventually, when Castella, who looked delicious, burned, his last name rushed over to Shizuko to inform him of his visitors.

"I was wondering if you'd let me through here"

"No, the... the"

Shizuko tilts her neck because her last name has a bad tooth cut. I want to thank you for the treatment. I have told my family name and soldiers that the boys are coming to visit today.

Even if the two of them bring strangers, it's someone from a relative, or a luggage man. I don't think my last name will panic this far to that extent. So there was one thing I could think of.

"Could it have been visited by a different person?

"Yes... Mr. Tokugawa is here..."

"... sorry, can I ask you one more time?

Shizuko, suspicious of my ears, throws a question to his surname while holding his temples.

"No, it's not a lie or anything, Tokugawa-sama is here"

"Uh, why? I don't remember inviting you, and I don't remember telling you I'm here first. And I was wondering if you'd let me through to the guest room for now. Clear this place up."

"That's not true. It's enough on the edge for a sudden visit."

I tried to instruct my surname to show Jiayang to the guest room, but someone mixed up in the conversation blocking Shizuko's voice. I can only think of one person in this situation, but Shizuko asks terrified while holding her head.

"Dear Tokugawa... right? Anything on the edge is rude..."

"Ha ha ha, I am here a raccoon caught by the smell of a sign, Lord Shizuko"

It was a difficult word to answer. When he calms his head, Shizuko turns to Jiayang.

Jiayang at the back of the edge has a grinning smile. There was an escort warlord behind him, but they were all faces I saw.

(To Sakahara-san from Honda... Hattori? Strict protection, I suppose.)

Jiayang did not wait for Shizuko to reply, but clasped in the right place. Each of the three guards also moves to a predetermined position.

"I'm sorry. Heihachiro said it smelled sweet, and it was slightly forceful, but I'm sorry to interrupt."

"And, my lord!? Well, in that sense..."

To Jiayang, who laughs and talks about why, Zhongsheng hastily takes an attitude of denial. Hanzo and Yasushi were laughing, but Shizuko leaned her neck without knowing what the three of them were thinking.

"I don't know what it is, but I'm putting out a blade to cut the castella, so don't react if you can."

Just in case, Shizuko washes her hands before removing the bread cutting knife. Unlike normal blades, although wave blades, the three warlords were still reacting unconsciously.

While feeling a slightly painful gaze, cut the four sides of Castella that took the excess heat. Once it's done, cut to a certain thickness and it's done.

"My lord, the two of you are examples, but I have just received a communication that you are no longer able to come here because you are in a hurry."

When I was serving Castella on a plate, Xuanlang, not his lowest surname, had raised the report. Shizuko felt sincerely sorry for hearing the report, but nodded small without giving it to her expression.

"If it's urgent, you can't help it."

"Yes. Anything. My parents in the country were ill... and the circumstances around it were described in the text. This way, sir."

Shizuko spreads the letter when she receives the sentence offered. It said that the parents were sorry for not being able to visit because of illness and sudden things. Shizuko treats her nostalgia when she carefully taps a sentence.

"If you have the edge, you will have the next opportunity. I just need to get a thank you then."

"No, they are delivering a thank you with the sentence. This knife will be it."

"About seven of them are going to hang a machete on their hips..."

When it comes to classic gifts in warring times, it's three things: gold, horses, and machetes.

Although there are rare occasions when Nobunaga gives a screen (bubble) to Kenshin Uesugi, most often one of these three is chosen. The most gifted of these is a machete.

"Well, it's not a good idea to put a kettle on a gift. Thank you."

I would store it in a warehouse, but it was Shizuko, who squeaked in my heart without saying anything.

Cut the cooked castella into sixteen slices and serve on a plate in two slices. Cut all three into sixteen slices, but ask Nobunaga to deliver one to the celebration, which would be in Hanayo.

Since Shizuko had a feeling that it was time for Nagako to act with Celebration, she decided that it would be fine if it was delivered to Celebration.

"That's an unusual texture."

Jia Kang presses her heartbeat for its fluffy texture and smooth palate. The loyalists and Hanzo felt the same way, nodding contentedly in their mouths.

I was indulging in Castella silently for a while, but when I put my plate down, I corrected my residence. Inspired by it, Shizuko also unconsciously corrects her residence.

"I asked Lord Shizuko for a favor today."

"Please...?

"Don't worry. I have the permission of Lord Oda."

Hanzo gives Shizuko the letter when Jia Kang looks at it. When I received it and changed the inside, I was sure it was in Nobunaga's Zhu seal. But when I read the contents in depth, it said something impossible.

Shizuko looks up unexpectedly and turns a questionable glance at Jiayang. Jiayang, who received that gaze, had a good grin of dust and people before speaking out for a favor.

"I'd like you to keep our Heihachiro and Hanzo for a little while"

That was also a favor to Shizuko to call Blue Sky Thunderbolt.

Meanwhile, Shizuko's original guests, the two boys, took a few days to get to a certain place. Upon their arrival, they were allowed to see by the master of the place, who said this most openly.

I'm back now, Lord Mitsumi Castle.

After a year of being asked by Shizuko to carve a rifle ring on a fire rope gun, Satisfaction finally reached completion.

There are two main ways to carve a rifle ring into a gun.

There are two types of cutting machines: a special tool called a rifling brooch, which performs the cutting process, and a hammer machine called a cold forging method (cold hammering), which beats and shapes the rifling.

Although cold forging (cold hammering) has the disadvantage of large manufacturing facilities, it can be molded at once from rifling to pharmacy and is suitable for mass production.

But there's no way you can hope in the Warring States era for equipment that uses water pressure or hydraulic pressure to press ultra-high pressure. Inevitably, there was only one option: cutting with brooch blades.

The cutting process with the brooch blade was not a problem, but there was a problem with the processing time being very long.

The work is first done by placing the rifling brooch in the barrel and pulling it out while turning it several times. The next mountain of rifling, which has become uneven in Bari, is made uniform through the reama.

Work on the rifling brooch will also be carried out if the rifling mountains are uniform.

It was a more mentally demanding task than technology. A facility was built along the way to carve life rings with water wheel power, but problems arose with insufficient torque.

The problem was solved by chewing the gear together and raising the torque, but the problem of sharpening the core burrs and evening the pile of rifling was not solved.

In the end, work was carried out only for a few hours a day, and the rest of the time the mental burden was relieved by manufacturing another part.

It takes about a day or two to make a bowl of firecrackers. However, since it takes five days to carve a rifle, it takes at least six days to calculate a rifle.

If there was a gearbox, torque converter, or machine that could alternate cutting and burring, the work would progress a little more, but all required advanced technology, so I decided that satisfaction was impossible and gave up.

(When I saw the show about clandestine pistols, I thought it would take days and other weaknesses, but this comes unexpectedly mental. I just want a little slave... I can't do it because I have a problem with the information)

Satisfaction takes a heavy sigh of sigh while checking the barrel of a volcano gun entering the final process. But if this is complete, Shizuko will be happy, and her impoverished energy will be boosted.

That's not the end of it when the barrel is complete. We will need the tools to manufacture mini aerial ammunition that utilize the performance of the rifling. Once that's done, we'll incorporate the barrel, and the last time we do a test shot, it's done.

"Finally finished a dozen"

It looks close to an Enfield gun, a shoulder-shaped barrel instead of a cheek-shaped one as before.

This made it necessary to study a form that would be easier to hold even with armor, but this was a problem that came up because he wanted to form a Winchester M1873 carbine.

From the side, he is satisfied with the extra hardship he carried, but his time to study the shape of the gun was the brightest.

(Is it a Nanban gun)

"You could say that. I'll show you the performance later. Shall I hear the report first?"

Placing the fire-rine gun that he had on the table, Satisfaction lowers his back to the chair. Kato put aside only a few moments before saying the words.

(Within the anti-Oda coalition, the one who is most hostile to the Oda family is the Yenji Temple. The Asai family is not in a position to take military action right now. The Asakura family does not want the Lord to move, and that is the dissatisfaction among ministers. Honshoji Temple has always made noise about setting up a country on this occasion)

"After all, the most handicapped organization is the Yokkanji Temple, close to Kyo"

(... Unfortunately, the extended calendar temple is in danger. The Takeda family is now sheltering the Kanji Temple. If you tap the Temple, it will turn the powerful Takeda family against the enemy)

The Temple is a long-held temple of the main mountain temple of Tendai sect, opened by the most clear monks of the peacetime.

The residency was called the Tendai Sitter, and it was the heart of Heian Buddhism as the Jinguobuji Temple (Kongobuji).

Having gained the respect of the royal family and nobility and having great power, even the Pope of the White River, who conducted the house administration with great power, became so armed that he could no longer control it.

In the Warring States era, he had failed to train, delayed (fluttered) his liquor color, and when things did not go according to his own will, he went out to war and killed people or turned them into a group to be persecuted through divinity.

"Heh, the man doesn't have time anymore, but he also thinks he's run away. Right...... not bad to crush and foil"

(Are you saying that you will destroy the Takeda family? That's what happened...)

"It's not impossible. All right, Kato. There is no such thing as an absolute strong man in this world. It would be Takeda, but it would be Uesugi, but it would be the Kanji Temple, but it would be the Hondo Temple, but one day it would lose and perish. Regardless, we have every chance of perishing."

……

"I don't want to perish. Okay, I'm done talking. There is no particular big job right now. Takeda's Walking Witch or Uesugi's House Monkey...... right, get rid of the Iga of Tokugawa, which has been a little annoying lately. You don't have to interrogate me. I don't have any information."

So just to conclude the conversation, Satisfaction puts a bag of gold from the nostalgia on the table.

And when he took on the fire rope gun on the table, he left the room without speaking to Kato.
