Chronicles of The Hardships of Komachi in The Sengoku Era

Early December, one thousand five hundred and seventy-four.

Nobunaga's Yamato patrol ended in success. On the way to Qi Lu, he stopped in Kyo and offered a piece of the luxury he had cut to Emperor Zheng Parent Town (Ogimachi) and returned to Gifu.

Shizuko, who was in action with Nobunaga, broke up with Nobunaga in Gifu and returned to Oozhang's home.

"Tired."

Returning to the mansion, Nagako greeted him with a grip of rice in one hand. Shizuko was surprised that she didn't think she was back, just that she hadn't heard the Kaga offense was over.

Asked why, it appeared that the earliest masses had never returned because they were unwilling to accompany the remnants of the party hunting or troop attacks.

"I don't know what else to do if that's the case. Maintaining soldiers just keeps losing money."

"The size of the army is shrinking, and Celebration is back. We were together until Mino, but when we arrived, we disappeared somewhere."

"Uh, I know somehow"

Celebration when it does not set a purpose is impossible, for example, for the surrounding man to predict his actions, because he acts as he pleases with the wind.

It was missed as something of a threaded kite because it did not come late in times of wonder and emergency.

"Well, we'll be back for a tasting"

"A tasting?

Shizuko tilts her neck at words she is unfamiliar with. After noticing the silence, Nagako hurriedly returned her heel, but before rushing out, Shizuko grabbed her wrist and collar.

"Being questioned and running can mean it's dark behind you, right?

"Yes, no... Ha ha"

Obviously my eyes are swimming and my words are slippery, but I don't try to crack my mouth. I hope so, and throw my gaze at Shizuko's talent and contentment as well.

I was blatantly distracted. This is evil in consignment by the men. Shizuko, who sensed he was limping, releases the hand he was grasping with a sigh.

"If you don't want to talk, you can't help it. Cast and melt the keys and seal the entrance to the collection."

"" "Ma, wait!!

I feel the seriousness of Shizuko, and the three of them change their blood phases to stop Shizuko. It's probably a tasting party or something new to drink, but I couldn't help but want to hide it so far.

"So, why is it a secret?

"... you know. There would have been hops that Shizuko had grown, wouldn't there?

The three had eye-openers, but eventually Satisfaction began to speak on their behalf as to whether they had noticed.

"Hmm? Yeah, you should have said that."

Shizuko herself does not drink alcohol, but he looked at beer production as an effective use for barley, importing and cultivating hops from an early stage via Nanban.

Originally the cultivation of hops favouring cold climates was difficult to navigate, but only the unfertilized female strains, separated from those for breeding, were harvested this year because they were finally of processable quality.

Female strains of mature hops wear something similar to pine cones (not technically flowers) called 'marinara'.

In the knowledge that Shizuko had brought in, the cultivation of male strains was limited, as only unfertilized flowers were used.

This flower is one of the ingredients of beer, and can also be expected to produce bitterness and fragrance, reduce germ reproduction and increase conservation.

"In that case, it was only crushed for raw materials and kept there."

The harvested flowers are blown to dryness while exposed to low temperatures, after which the crushed ones are compressed and processed into pellets. Doing so will increase preservation and make it possible to go beyond a few years.

"The... time would still make the flavor go away, wouldn't it? It was a shame and I used it all..."

With that being said, Satisfaction had divided the freshly harvested flowers into two pieces, taking out the lemon-colored 'luprin grain' near the centre, and being indulgent in its vibrant and opulent aroma.

It reminds me of the smell of beer I haven't had in a long time, and maybe I've had a plan since then.

"... well understood"

The reason the three of them are in a hurry, it was in liquor taxes. In Oda territory, liquor must be taxed according to the quantity at the stage of purchase and must be taxed in kind or in money.

However, taxation was limited to commercial brewing and was routinely missed for R&D and self-consumption.

If it applies to this case, Shizuko decided that it is impossible for boulders to do so, even though it cannot be strongly argued with self-consumption.

Perhaps at first, only the usual four planned to plant a drink, but gradually became larger as more participants increased.

Weren't they also conscious of telling Shizuko that this amount would be awkward on the boulder?

As for Shizuko, she is also a former brewer, and is also entrusted with the compilation of liquor taxes to be paid to Nobunaga.

"By the way, what were you going to do with the beer you planted?

Shizuko asks, carrying a strange force, remaining gloomy on the surface. Satisfaction, which I perceived to be more important (oh and) than I thought, poked the flank of the talent and exchanged eyes.

"(Sounds awkward to me first, let's be honest)"

"(Accepted)"

"(Shh, sorry. I just slipped my mouth...)"

"(That's more of an injury feat. I didn't hide it badly here, I just had to open it up) I was just going to plant our drinks and drink everything..."

Shizuko rubbed her eyebrows with her fingers as if she could get a headache. She called out to him.

"In Oda territory, you need to file a notification to serve alcohol, and you will be obliged to pay taxes depending on the quantity you supply. If it's enough for an individual to consume, there's some blindness, but if it's enough for everyone to drink, it's the scale of the business, right? Nobody's going to follow the laws that the exchangers don't, so be sure to talk to them in the future, okay? Okay?"

Even though I think it smells like preaching, I tell them to bite and include it. Perhaps the satisfaction that would have made Shizuko's hands in secret annoyed him is silent.

In retrospect, when Satisfaction once lived in a modern Shizuko residence, he used to have a beer dinner with Shizuko's father and Edamame on a knob.

"(Even though it was a temporary residence, did you think me enough to feel sad about it?) So, who's at the tasting?

"Ha ha... besides the three of us, Lord Keiji and Lord Mitsuzu, Lord Goro -"

"Okay. Sounds like a bigger event than I expected. It won't be enough to spill your eyes, and we'll deduct the liquor tax from everyone's payroll."

Shizuko, who began to faint lightly (dizziness), blocked the words of her talent.

"(I guess as I borrowed the hands of all sorts of people, the scale would have increased. Nobody would think my direct warlord would plant it without permission...) Because this is the only time you'll forgive me, right? Next time you do it, you can't just say you don't punish everyone, so don't make me do that, okay?

"Shizuko, I'm so sorry..."

Headed by Satisfaction, Shizuko decided that no further reprimand was necessary, as the other two seemed to reflect fully. It's more constructive to move to deal with the end of the line than that.

"Well, that's the end of the story."

When Shizuko exhaled gently and tried to go to various procedures, Xiao (Shi) appeared at a time as if she had targeted him.

"Were you here, Shizuko? The princess is here. We hope to meet Shizuko."

"Okay. I won't be able to see you in this outfit on a boulder, so I'll take a bath in the water and then head out. Please do me a favor in the meantime, and I found a missing liquor tax return, so can you tell Cai?

"I understand. Now, if you'll excuse me."

Xiao graciously walked away as hastily as he had when he arrived. Shizuko heads to the bathroom, always wondering not to show up at a strange time.

While I was getting myself together, including taking a bath in the water, I realized that I had kept the princess waiting for a long time, and I rushed to the reception room.

"Thank you for waiting so long"

"You don't have to worry about it. I didn't even tell you I was visiting. It's only natural to wait."

"It would help if you could say that."

As Shizuko's position rose, courtesy exchanges became required in public or nearby places. The same was true even with a thoughtful princess opponent, a flow of conversation in a private space where family members were discharged.

"Huh, what a tough thing."

As soon as she was led to Shizuko's private room, the princess returned to her usual shattered attitude. Shizuko laughs bitterly without thinking of switching to blatant, but I didn't feel bad if I thought that was all it opened my mind to.

"We got in each other's shoes, so we won't have a choice but to be asked to behave commensurate with it. Because the princess is an authentic chamber of heavenly people."

"I know, so let's act like that in public, even if we don't care? Nor is there any power in the concubine herself when she is lifted up with her heavenly wife, etc. Where a woman who moves in love is involved in politics, history proves that it doesn't work."

"Um, I'm an exchange man for once, too."

"Shizuko is an uncharted woman, right? I'm not going into women."

"Forget about me, what's the real deal?

"Politics is a man's job. It's good to push a man's back gently and heal a tired man."

"Right"

The character of the princess sings her life at will with her own instrumentality alone, rather than wearing the authority of Heavenly Man's Ordinary Room on Kasawa.

That said, I cannot remain politically irrelevant from a standpoint. I could see the hardships of a heavenly wife in the appearance of a dark princess who, despite all the constraints imposed, finds the utmost pleasure in it.

Sparn!!

"Don't you have Shizuko? Oh, sister-in-law! Were you here first, sorry I'm late"

It was the city that opened its doors luxuriously with light sounds. For the first time in tea behind me, a river held by a nanny continues.

The woman of the Oda family wanted to suspect that it was also a habit not to touch, but to put it that way, Nobunaga suddenly came to visit, so she convinced me that it was the blood of the Oda family.

"Ho, ho, until the concubine rushed ahead. Don't worry about it."

"I'm curious about my landlord...... what can I do for you?

In recent times, the princesses, the city and other wives showed little appearance. Only one princess can be distracted, but if they are at the same time, there is no reason for Shizuko to be alarmed that there is something behind them.

"Don't stand there. What, it's not a hard story. My concubine and the city were supposed to stay in Ozhang for a while."

"Oh yeah...... Huh!? Why the hell is that?

Earlier next year, Nobunaga will move its headquarters to Affordable Land. Although the Temporary Palace has already been completed, it has remained in Gifu because of the New Year's Eve events, and it has been decided to move to Yasushi after New Year's Eve.

Shizuko didn't understand why the princess and the city would stay in Ozhang at this time of year.

"Instead of Yasushi, Ichiyen Omi is still unsettled. If the concubines, who can be the steeple of the temple in such a situation, are exposed to defenselessness, it is possible that the unexpected will appear. Even then, there will be more people in and out, less security and more room for intersections. That's where my concubines stayed. I'll take care of them for a while until my lord calms down."

"I see, I understand the circumstances. It's so important, but it's hard not to talk to me, a party, beforehand..."

"Then I gripped at the concubine"

"Oh... is that so?"

It was the work of the princess that did not reward Shizuko. I don't know if it was a prank (a prank) coming from naiveté (Chiki) or another deliberate refrain (Shinbu Enriko), but it was Shizuko who wanted at least one word because she is ready to accept you.

"In addition to the concubines, other relatives will stay in Ozhang, but only the concubines and the city's family will come to Shizuko's place. I keep my offerings to a minimum, so I can't take the trouble out of it."

"I understand. Your Highness feels comfortable advising you to evacuate your relatives."

"Bullshit. It's just because I'm gonna be a foot wrapper. Omi is not like Gifu or Ozhang, who have a good eye for all things. From now on, not obviously hostile students, but also those who try to favorably treat and take in. In such a situation, there is nothing more unbearable than a useless ally"

"How to push incompetence on the enemy is a method used in ancient politics, isn't it? If you think about it, you can't fight. If your allies get in the way, you may not have to think about it."

Those who cannot even defend themselves will not only become steep points, but will also exhaust their allies and thus benefit their enemies. If you hold incompetent allies inside, your enemies will gain advantages simply by sitting down.

Nobunaga has a strategy to eliminate incompetence from his allies and capture it if he is capable, whether he is an enemy or not.

"That's not what I meant. The concubines shall not be shackled by the shackles of the house. At the very least, it's my job to hide from you."

The princess ran out without making a peek at any dissatisfaction. Nobunaga says you're being treated like a disturber, but you don't even have the bare hands to care.

"So, what's the truth?

A shallow one would also impress the depth of the Dark Princess's nostalgia. Shizuko, however, knowing well that the dark princess did not have such a special character, put in the exploration while half-eyed.

"My lord-approved bone break, what will you do without enjoying this!

As Shizuko imagined, Nobunaga didn't care about Nobunaga's attitude or anything. Instead of this, fortunately, I was even going to use it as an excuse to wave the big players and play. I guess the plan is already worked out when I see the city nodding about not saying it's right.

"Ho ho ho. You're not so naughty about your attitude, are you? Besides, when you have to destroy me and be thorough with the public, it's up to your wife to support you."

"... you're strong. It's not going to work for me."

"Even if she rots, she will not live in a warm world. Well, let's not talk boring. Can you get me a room?

"I understand. I'll get Xiao ready, so please wait here."

Shizuko called Xiao to say so and ordered the princesses' quarters to be ready.

After a while when the princesses settled into Shizuko's mansion, a tasting session was held which the men awaited.

The originator is Tiger Taro. Celebration, endorsers were talented, longable, satisfied, Takati, Mitsuro, Goro, Shiro, and Miichi.

"Ha-ha-ha, last year's wine was a failure, but this year I planted it with shrimp zuru is a different one! However, white-wine is a terribly time-consuming method, but I didn't expect this to change depending on the grape…"

There are two types of wine prepared by Totaro. It is a red wine made from a grape called shrimp zuru, a unique Japanese species, and a white wine made from Koshu grapes.

Initially, Tiger Taro tried to produce red wine using the Koshu grapes that had been prepared. However, because of the low sugar content compared to Western varieties, the added sugar still remained low in alcohol and corroded.

Mimiko, who stumbled upon the scene of discarding rotten wines, gave winemaking tips and successfully led this year's winemaking to success.

"Whoa, I'm gonna have trouble getting you to forget about the first show. This is a delicacy rarely and enthusiastically tackled by a satisfied old man, and there is no reason why the ingredients are still a first-class product grown by hand salt, unsavory!

Celebration laughs as she slaps a barrel with beer. In addition to the classic sake, distilled sakes such as shochu and rum are also arranged, creating an atmosphere that is precisely what I said about the review, and the participants exalt even if they respond.

But Satisfactorily talented, the three of Nagaka had a sinking look on their face. Among them, the longevity was pale enough to appear blue, and it was noticed that it was not normal at first glance.

"What's the matter, you're all set and you're facing a recession? Trouble is behind us, let's drink and make a scene today."

Celebration encourages longevity while tapping on the shoulder, but the reaction was not fragrant. Celebration is surprised at how seriously you are feeling when you usually change your mood and make a noise together.

"Um... sorry. Actually..."

Before the chancellor could tell the story, the entrance door opened with a bang. After rooting for thought, the gaze of everyone but the three who knew what was going on was focused on the entrance, just sneaking it in.

"Hey there and all of you gathered, do you know that the manufacture of clandestine liquor carries severe penalties?

There stood Shizuko, who, while smiling calmly, gave him an awesome advantage. Those who think they only sneak in for what they consume inside are wary of things that need to be calmed down.

"Sorry, my mouth slipped..."

Words were uttered so that the chancellor could squeeze them out. The men who perceived the status quo in one word wanted to hold their heads to the situation in which they were placed.

"If those above disdain the law, they will not show the people, will they? So I'll take a tax on this alcohol."

"No, you know what?"

Though Celebration tries to make excuses, Shizuko just glanced at you and sealed it off.

"No excuses! You can't blame me, so I'll deduct liquor tax from your next paycheck. Instead, I'll officially make you a review party, so get together in the hall without being caged in such a small place!

When Shizuko says so, she turns her heel back and goes back. While the men thought it had become a strange cloud, they followed Shizuko to the hall for the most part.

Upon arrival in the hall, the feast seats were already ready, and seating tables were arranged like a long desk, and a large dish of hot air was placed on top of it narrowly.

"This is the only special measure. I don't want to punish everyone for not being stuck like this, so make sure you declare it next time! Yes, the sermon is over. It's a corner, so it would be nice to compare drinks and report back later on what goes well with the dishes."

Deep-fried octopus meat, ostrich chicken, fried tail cochin, southerly pickled chicken, stewed fish seafood, tempura of all kinds of mushrooms, raw vegetable salad full of bowls, and spices are lined with cabinets filled with white rice from Oozawa rice.

"Based on everyone's report, I will make a decision to dedicate to you, so be sure to taste it. See you later."

To put it that way, Shizuko walked away from the hall where he closed his bowl and turned it into a banquet hall. Her footsteps turn away and everyone exhales in a grand exhalation where she is completely deaf.

"At the end of the day, can we continue with the tasting? The pay bar pull is painful but it also seems like there are more dishes lined up"

"Whatever it is, the food in the corner will cool off. I'm not saying anything wild, new booze and delicious rice, it would be a lie not to eat this."

When Celebration hangs on to its breakthrough, the face that was depressed also regains its normal condition.

"But there's no reason to get drunk more than to make it a moral rule. Isn't it muscular to thoroughly indulge in each and then rude after everyone's opinions have come together?

"How about that one? Without any excuse to continue the tasting, I think it's a quiet consideration that we thought would be exciting and hard too. If you're serious about making the rules, you should be more careful about taking steps."

"Perhaps Celebration is right. But don't sit around in Shizuko's Buddha's heart. We shall all be ashamed of our unknowns, and we shall change our minds from tomorrow."

Celebration denied the words of talent and Satisfaction closed the end.

"You're right about the satisfied old man. Smoked liquor is too much for boulders."

Celebration rarely spoke of reflection while scratching his head. Everyone reflected on each of them, and Mitsuru opened his mouth where the field was quiet.

"Now it's time to get started. This is the dish that Shizuko prepared for me because of it. I'm more and more sorry for wasting my mind."

"Don't say good things to an old man! All right, I'm done smelling spicy. To replace the sexual roots, we'll drink it up tonight!

"It's not an old man, it's a mistress."

Goro says all the more brightly, and finds a classic penetration against him. Nature and grin came together in the usual exchanges.

"My wine is properly pre-declared and taxed..."

"Well, it's a sunny, public tasting, and let's do our part."

Only one tiger, with no dark place behind him, mixes back with a splendid jawbeard, prompting Michi to open the meeting even as he forgives.

"Well, then, thank you for your quiet and generous treatment, and we'll start the tasting again after a full reflection!

"Ooh!

The men thrust their fists up to the next proclamation of the celebration.

"It would be 'Nama for now' (as a modern man)! If you say greed, I'd like to drink a guy who's chilled into a kink."

Mitsuzuo whimpers his beer all the time. Most beers distributed in modern Japan are manufactured in lager pilsner styles.

The history of Pilsner Style dates back to 1842. The German brewer Joseph Grohl was invited to the Pirzen Brewery in Przegne, Czech Republic, where the beer produced at this time was the famous' Pirsner Urkel (Urkel means ancestor or former) ', the method of which was called the Pirsner style.

Beer manufacturers in Japan as well as around the world now manufacture beer using Pilsner styles.

Beer is bisected into ales and lagers when separated in large part, and what is made of 'top surface fermentation', where yeast floats at the top of the wheat juice in the course of fermentation, is called ale, and vice versa, what is made of 'bottom fermentation', which sinks to the bottom.

As far as history is concerned, Yale is older, and Lager was born around the Middle Ages and has been mainstream since about the nineteenth century. This is due in large part to the fermentation temperature of the lager.

Generally, ales fermented at room temperatures of 20 to 25 degrees are prone to germs and the corresponding lagers are fermented at low temperatures of 5 to 15 degrees, thus stabilizing quality.

Lagers with stable quality are better suited to the flow of mass production since the industrial revolution, and will leap into the mainstream in a way that is pushed by the times.

For the record, what drove Lager to the mainstream was that French bacteriologist Louis Pasteur developed a method in 1866 to prevent the breeding of bacteria called pasteurization (also known as pasturization).

Germany, which adopted pasteurisation as soon as possible during the beer brewing process, will improve its rot resistance and attract fame as a high quality beer.

Originally, Pasteur did not invent pasteurization for beer, but was the result of continuing research aimed at improving the status of French wines.

It is quite ironic to say that his strong attachment to France, his own country, and his hatred of Germany, contributed, more importantly, to improving the status of German beer.

Later the pasteurization method of the pass tool will also be applied to milk.

It should be noted that in Japan, pasteurization methods called 'fire in' had been created empirically in the process of producing sake more than 300 years before the pass tool.

Brew and lager are not limited to fermentation methods alone, but also have different temperatures when drinking.

Generally, ales are moderately warm near room temperature. It is said that this is because ambient temperatures allow you to enjoy the aroma of beer. The opposing lager is more suitable to drink chilled.

This is because cooling allows you to have a good taste of the refreshment of the lager's crispness, bitterness, and carbonation.

Lagers cooled on special kinks are preferred in Japan due to the high climate impact.

Japan is humid all year round and has long hot summers. For this reason, the throat is refreshing, a refreshing cold lager is preferred, and the ambient ale tends to be distant.

By contrast, Europe, including Germany, lasts a long period of dryness and cool. For this reason, a room temperature ale is preferred over a lager whose body is cold.

"Khu!! It's hard to make your own beer, and it tastes good."

"It's strangely bitter, and my mouth tingles. What a flavor."

The beer rating broke in two. Though satisfied with the beer he could have had, Mitsuzuo was well motivated to drink, but Changke and Takati drank it to lick it with a subtle look on their face.

Not only does it stimulate carbonation for the first time, but it also kills the good throat because it drinks in small quantities, and the bitter taste stands out.

"Mmm! What a serene and elegant taste this white wine has"

Yaichi also nods silently in agreement with Totaro's words. Because of the short maturation period, the finish still remains rough, but it can stand out from the grape juice applied to the mold last year.

"I was half-hearted when I asked your lord, but I didn't know it would taste like this..."

"Ha ha, I'm Tele...... Gohon. Until I showed off the knowledge I've heard in the tradition. I'm not making a big deal of it."

Mitsuzuo, who called it television, rushed to fix it. The fact that Koshu grapes are suitable for white wines and the idea of making red wines with shrimp zull only remembered what was shown on TV.

A large miscellaneous production method of white wine and the suitability of Koshu grapes for ingredients. Also, Shrimp Zulu, which cannot be described as delicious in raw foods, only conveyed the information that it produces a wonderful flavour when made into wine.

It can also be said that Shizuko's and hence the Oda family's prestige was responsible for collecting raw materials, Koshu grapes and shrimp zuru, during this warring age.

"If humility passes, let it be disgusting. Your knowledge has helped me greatly, and I have a good face for your husband."

"Is that what it is? Thank you, too, for a delicious wine."

Accepting Tiger's apology, Mitsuro now also expressed his appreciation as a consumer to the producers. For a moment, I was taken aback by Tiger Taro, but I immediately broke his face and recommended red wine to Mitsuruo.

"White wine is good, but this red one hasn't lost either. I am proud not to take a pull on my home country's wine."

"Because you're still young, the acidity and bitterness are tight, but when paired with goat cheese, you can't stand it!

"Is that bright red woe so good? Why don't I have a drink, too!

It's delicious.

Celebration, which was watching the exchange between the two, showed an interest in wine. Mitsuichi immediately pours a relatively easy to drink white wine and gives it to Celebration.

"I'm sorry...... duh. It's not as tight as sake, but it's quite strong. The grapey acidity is interesting."

"It's a young wine that's freshly planted. After many years of aging, the cad will be removed and mellowed, and the moisture will fly to a different flavour."

"Wow! That's pretty funny how the flavor changes a little bit. Can you ask him for Red Woman next?

"I understand. Go ahead."

Miichi grinned and gave the red wine to celebrate. Not so if you pour it into a wine glass and watermark it into the light, but still transparent glass is precious and the price of wine glasses is terribly high.

For this reason, they drink wine at the tasting, so called swallowing, so the light is blocked and looks like blood. The faces that repelled blood were distant from red wine, but had nothing to do with celebration.

"I'll get you a beer in the whiskey where the python is drinking wine."

Satisfaction continued to drink beer while Mitsuya and Celebration were obsessed with wine. Because there are no beer bottles, I drink it directly from the barrel and no one knows how many glasses it is.

The satisfying pace of not drinking so deeply is obviously faster than that of sake.

"Mr. Satisfied, how many glasses is that?

"I'm not counting from the edge. If you care about that, the booze won't taste good."

"No, isn't it good to drink too much?

"To this extent, I don't even go in after drinking it. Beer in the corner gets warmer than that."

"Yes!? Unlike usual, it's very tangled up..."

"That's weird. You can't drink my booze?

To Goro's penetration, Satisfaction returns in a classic drunken dialogue. Shiro, who was listening nearby, followed the scene with nothing but sneaking at the untouched God.

"This fried chicken is delicious. This is too much food."

"Katsuzo! Hang this sour lemon juice and it'll taste even better!

"Hey! I don't like that juice!! Oh, I hung it all..."

Like Shiro, Takati flattens the fried chicken one after the other, with talent and longkake avoiding the tangled liquor of contentment. Soon the dishes on the large plates that were in front of them were no longer clean.

Even after the food was gone, they bickered alcohol with one hand, which lasted until all but Mitsuki was drunk.

While the men were making a fuss, Shizuko had a sigh of uncertainty several times.

"- Taro, who thus exorcised the ghost, took the treasure back to his grandfather and grandmother, and lived happily ever after. Congratulations, congrats"

Shizuko is leading the way in tea and performing to all the women in a paper play prepared by her.

It was created on an experimental basis to improve morality by providing entertainment for ordinary people, mastering basic upbringing, and choosing the story of good and evil.

Tea caught my eye on one of the paper plays with bright colors, and when Shizuko demonstrated it, the adults were so popular that they were forced to repeat the show for extended periods.

"I'd like to go to bed..."

"Then no! There's still something else to talk about, isn't there?

Pushed by the momentum of Nohime and the city, Shizuko eventually became the wingman to continue the paper play all night.
