Chronicles of The Hardships of Komachi in The Sengoku Era

The obituaries of Vitman and Barti were also delivered immediately to Nobunaga.

"Right, passed away"

After hearing the report, Nobunaga muttered only one word, giving instructions to cancel all appointments for the day, and went back to his room scrupulously, no matter who he was.

It's an unusual renunciation of duty for Nobunaga, who wants things to go as planned, but it didn't have the atmosphere to be able to point that out very much.

Because the air that Nobunaga wraps around suddenly sharpens like a sharpened blade, and if you want to say bad things, you can expect to be truncated.

Even after Nobunaga walked away from the evidence, the remaining lowercases remained immobile and consolidated, taking considerable time to be able to move back to normal.

"It's a long day to be back."

When Nobunaga opened the door to his room, there was a person sitting there who could not have been here.

Sitting gracefully on a scarlet, pouring liquor from a vermilion to a cup was the princess, Nobunaga's main chamber.

Nobunaga wondered that the princess, who was supposed to be in Oozhong, would be in her own room at the Mansion in Yasushi, but she gave up pursuing her usual and early.

Nobunaga did not even try to hide his displeasure, and when he received the cup offered by the princess, he drank it up in one breath.

"This is full of drinks, my lord. Was it also something good?

"You came all the way out here knowing everything!

When Nobunaga abusively took the tamarind from the princess, he poured the wine into the cup and poked it at the princess. When the princess cheered with Nicole, she received the cup and let her sip dry in the same breath.

"So, didn't you follow Shizuko?

"Ho. I can't even mourn with satisfaction what's on my mind. Fortunately, there are things that support Shizuko, so I thought I'd leave a message and come here and do what my concubine can only do."

"... what did I tell you"

Nobunaga asks, curious as to what is the word entrusted to her by the princess, who ingeniously manipulates her mind.

"I only care about myself for a while. The concubine will finally take care of the rest, so let her rest. I don't care if you thank me for this."

"Phew... I didn't expect him to ask for a specific thank you so he wouldn't get sick. You seem very sweet to Shizuko."

"It's not as good as my lord. Besides, there are other ministers who devote so much time without a second thought, right?

"Sure. Then I'll leave Shizuko to him. I could have done it myself."

"Oh, well, then there's no point in the concubine coming to your favor. I don't know who you are. Why don't you listen to me?

"Hmm! I can't tell a woman's heart anyway. Say whatever you want."

Sneering and laughing, the dark princess called out, and Nobunaga, who received it, stopped the motion of getting up on the tannic side and sat back down somewhere.

To the cup offered silently by Nobunaga, Nobunaga tells Nobunaga that she wants him to break a bone because of Shizuko while pouring liquor out of Tachiko.

When Nobunaga finished listening to everything without pinching his mouth, he took another breath of the drink.

"What a far-fetched thing. But if it's for Shizuko, do as you like. Until I do what I have to do as a man."

When I finished saying just that, Nobunaga took his seat and left the room. Indoors suddenly no longer popular, the princess shrugged.

"Clumsy person"

At dawn the night that Vitman and Barti left Shizuko, Shizuko closed all paths leading to the mountain as planned.

In ancient times, mountains were a place where man's reason (proverb) could not be understood because they were identified with God, and old beasts gave their lives by entrusting themselves to young beasts.

It has long been a recurring business and code of nature. It was the wish of their family, Shizuko, that they could not overshadow it, but at least did not want to expose their appearance to the public.

Shizuko fixed the closure period as one year, and predicted that if they had that much time, their skeletons would be white boned, and they were going to collect it and mourn it.

"... stop joking"

"As you can see from the heart, this is no joke"

Shizuko leaked her words as she dropped her shoulders as she finished reading all the contents of the seal. Shizuko asked me to examine the contents together. The color also responds to Shizuko's voice with a puzzled face.

I can't help but suspect Shizuko was joking. Shizuko is in possession of an official document that conveys the order of the Emperor known as "Shizuko".

The contents were that Shizuko's forbidden mountain was specified in Shinji Mountain (the mountain where God supposedly resides).

"In addition to the complexity of the process of preparing the manuscript, did the emperor originally need the approval of all the dukes? It's not a substitute you can prepare overnight... since when was it decided?

A book is a book that reads and conveys the word "Mico" (the Emperor's command). In other words, it is an important document issued on the occasion of the importance of the state, and is used in liturgical times, such as in the fold of the reign or renovation, where formats and procedures are weighted.

It was something Shizuko should not have been announced for what she had started with her own self.

The most famous book in modern Japanese history is Emperor Showa's "End of the Great East Asian War Book", which became the manuscript of the so-called Jade Sound Broadcast.

The importance of this is understandable if we hear that even in modern times it is issued during the convening of Congress, the dissolution of the House of Representatives, and the ordinary elections of the Senate.

"For the company to be set up a year after the mourning, there is a chance that the Vajra group will be dispatched from Shitenoji Temple. Other famous watchmen (Banjo) (the modern palace carpenter) are making their name for themselves. Also, from the famous Hole Tai people (Ayushu) as masons, they are ready to come at any time..."

"Wait, wait! Doesn't it matter more and more somehow? I was just trying to build a company to honor those kids..."

Colour exhaled a heavy sigh into Shizuko's words. I was going to know repeatedly that Shizuko's self-esteem was low, but when I see it this way, another thought comes to mind.

No matter how important Shizuko becomes, there is a fundamental consciousness to say that she is just an alternative and individual at all times. However, from other sources, there can be no such person as Shizuko's substitute.

In other words, Shizuko's trends will always attract the ears and eyes of the powerful. What happens if such a static child leaves all public office, takes a long vacation as an individual, etc.?

Few things were evil pushed only by the events of the arrowhead with the settlement between the host enemy and the main temple that was seen. Nobunaga came there and recruited a watchman for Shizuko in his name, but developed into this disturbance.

"I don't know about the Emperor or the Morning Court's intentions, but I can predict about the Keeper"

"Huh!? What do you mean?"

"Shizuko, the thanks you've been giving me are returning."

"Hmm, I remember being resented for what it is, but it doesn't seem like that much to be repaid..."

Colour shook his head just because the procedure was not working. Even when I saw how it was going, Shizuko just leaned her neck, so I dared to say it.

"It's also a problem to say you're unconscious. For Shizuko, it may be obvious (…), but please understand how rare (…) it is to provide extra assistance in this world. You may have reached out for the purpose of protecting and inheriting technology, but it was impossible for anyone to take on or offer financial assistance to a caretaker who made you ill. No wonder they had to abandon their companions with the thought of cutting themselves off, trying to give back their royal favors, which encouraged them to work in peace"

"Uh. Accidents are attached to carpentry work, and I think it's negligence on the part of the user to have no coverage for it. If you feel obliged to me, I want you to turn that around for someone else. Are you sure you want to call me Eun-seo? But if that's the case, there's no way I'm going down there, so let me sweeten you up this time."

"I think that's a good idea. In the Buddha's teachings, there is something called" Suspended Flow Water (Kanji-ju) Beneficent Engraving Stone "(Suspended mercy is flowing into water, and the grace received is meant to be carved into stone and not forgotten). I think Shizuko's pity flowed into the water has returned around, and I ask you to repay me with their grace."

"I'm afraid I'm going to get paid back and take it for granted, but I honestly wonder if it'll help this time. We can't have the technology to build a historic company in boulders."

"I guess this is a heavenly dispensation too. If Shizuko suffers, she has an offer to help her. Perhaps heaven will see the merits you have ever inflicted on others. If you're going the wrong way, it's your duty to make it right."

"... thanks"

Before the colour, which he spoke with his thoughts at any given time, Shizuko thanked him even as he remembered the tickle.

Shizuko, who took a big, deep breath, shakes her head to calm the confusion.

With regard to the letter, there must be some kind of bottom line because the court cannot move only in good faith. Nevertheless, once the announcement is made, it cannot be revoked.

Shizuko thought it was up to the exchangers to control the impact of it, as there was no other way to do what had happened.

We have to stand around well so that people who depend on mountains for part of their lives are not at a disadvantage, but difficulties are only expected to be unprecedented.

"To be honest, I can't predict what the impact of becoming a Divine Mountain will be. However, we need to be more careful than usual because there are things that try to work with good and bad and multiply by confusion."

"Yes, I understand. If it seems to be out of our hands, we will be ready to use your help."

"If it's a struggle to get over it, I've never been over it. Besides, there are more tragedies in this world that come from good intentions than from bad intentions, right? I wish you would have left me alone about the time to serve the mourning of Vitman and Barti..."

"Shizuko has never shown any interest in status, property or honor, so I guess he's rising to the gap he saw for the first time. I need to show you something unexpected like that."

"No, you don't have to move on and be hostile. Just pay attention."

"Yes, then excuse me"

The two of them closed the conversation to be careful, but their worries became worrying.

As for the interference from the morning court, I was concerned that my father-in-law, Mae Kim (Saki Hisa), was unable to stop the letter, or I thoroughly rooted it out and sealed it (every thing) to know what had happened since then.

In contrast to the previous period, Nobunaga disputes the public houses directly from the front. When I told him that I had given him rest by laboring all my servants, I asked him if it would be a challenge to the Oda family to bring in the seeds of noise there.

Nobunaga, which was reaching the apex of one or the martial family, and those who had noticed that they had stepped on the tiger's tail, had been slammed from both the previous time, the apex of the public house called Sekibai.

As for Shizuko, she did not intend to perform an inward-looking ritual or anything, but the influence of the decree that had been published was such that a local festival was to be held in which Vitman and Barti became the guardians of the mountains.

Although it is officially a town festival, its contents were both funeral and burial. It was unexpected that it would have mattered so far just because I was originally meant to intercede secretly within me alone.

As for the morning court, it was intended to perform the ritual at the summit of the mountain, but it was held at the foot because Shizuko did not give way to restraint and also because her two guardians supported it.

As for the attendees, there is a line of flashes in their faces, and even the celebration of inclined people who do not want to go through such authority and the likeness of picturesque young people (bojjabu) are dressed in formal attire because they do not fulfill Shizuko's wishes.

(A lot of people don't know about you guys, but we have all the people who sincerely mourn you, so forgive us, right?

Towards the summit, Shizuko meditated and prayed that Vitman and Barti would keep an eye on themselves.

In order to relate to the prestige of the emperor in this matter, from the court of morning, the public houses belonging to his faction are lined up, headed by his father-in-law, who is a confessor as an agent of the emperor. Also Yadake Sutra and other literary people participated.

Yan Sutra notes the events of this day in his diary as follows:

"It is a festival featuring mountains that no one knows as spiritual peaks, far from the capital, but it was strictly pursued at all times. Especially those of Ozhang, all prayed earnestly, and did not hear one shudder."

He also touched on the appearance of the participants.

"Surprisingly, famous generations were also present from the main temple. He sent a messenger to say that there was no harmony yet, and was surprised by the breadth of the weights of the tail tension method that accepted it again. How much respect is enough to make even the person who drank boiled water?"

The lack of reference to the figure of Shizuko that I saw thus, perhaps because I ate the shoulder watermark?

Apart from him, there are many other literary figures who have written about the day, but they are touched upon more about the later direct meetings (and possibly) than the town festival itself.

From the Oda family, three people attended, Nobunaga, Nobunaga and Shinxiao, and Nobunaga and the city discouraged their participation.

The princess knows that Shizuko doesn't want to exaggerate, and has offered to cooperate with the back in general to make the burden a little lighter.

Thanks to her help, Shizuko, who is coming to the festival with some leeway, was greeting the attendees.

Thank you for joining us today.

Shizuko bows her head by speaking up to Nobunaga and Nobunaga. Nobu-san was not here to see if he was caught by someone else.

In response to Shizuko, who bows her head deeply, Nobunaga stroked her head as if to make herself a young child when she wakes up. Suddenly Shizuko opened her eyes in surprise, but Nobunaga walked away with a gentle look and said only, "You did well."

Nobunaga also walks away following Nobunaga, but he made her tap her shoulder lightly twice when she was different from Shizuko. Understanding that it was his finest consolation he could do in public, Shizuko accidentally missed them by distorting his sight but wiping his tears.

When it ends without so much time just for the town festival, which has more determined procedures than the original, it moves to a direct meeting equivalent to a banquet.

A direct meeting is a toast to a kamikaze and a meal for everyone.

Unexpectedly, it became important, but the product of Ozhang ringing in the sky was still offered, and I was fascinated by dishes and liquor that no one had ever seen before.

For anything other than Shizuko's body, it is a festival, and if the booze enters, it will erase the harsh atmosphere and so on, making it a great bustle.

For Shizuko, who tended to feel depressed, these lively air were appreciated.

"Dear Shizuko, let the Awkward Monk do a little preaching."

A Hualing goer, emptying a large plate of fried cod curry and vegetable stir-fry by himself, came to Shizuko, who was standing alone in the corner of the venue.

Even though he said he had an obviously strange appearance, he was not noticed by anyone with wonder, and Shizuko himself could not recognize his existence until he came before him.

The Hualing Goer waits for Shizuko to settle down, then begins to speak with a strange but clear voice in his ear, even though he is never loud.

"Shizuko will regret not doing enough for the two heads who left you. But it's called an arrogance. No matter how thoroughly prepared you are, you will regret it, and no matter how exhausted you may be, you will never be able to do anything like that."

The words of the Hualing Goer were by no means good to hear, but they therefore crept into my heart.

Words emanating from the frontiers reached by those who have missed far more lives and deaths than Shizuko's, cut Shizuko's regrets as arrogant.

But at the same time it made me a little lighter on what she was carrying.

"Death is not the end. It is the beginning of a routine that lacks two heads, and all that is left must live each day diligently. It will be good to mourn what has left, but you must not be imprisoned."

……

"Even if we do not do this kind of divinity, they will watch over us when we return to the mountains. Oda's famous Tenshita Fububu, big idea, but from the mountains, even that is a dream of a moment. Even if it decays in the middle of the road, the mountains will accept everything. You feel too much about carrying a lot of it, and you don't see yourself rejecting it. I'm not asking you to forget it immediately, but I know it's important to look at what supports you right now."

"... right. Thank you. A little easier."

"No, I mentioned that the freshman seemed great. But remember, if you don't despise me now, you won't be able to sleep in peace."

After deeply lowering his head as he pressed to be so, the Hualing goers returned to the crowd. The clear glance that stared far away earlier disappeared and even humorous to be invited to the smell of an intensely appetizing curry pan.

Shizuko smiled unexpectedly at the rest of the fallout and remembered the hunger she had long forgotten. Until then, I stretched out my chopsticks to a dish I didn't even want to reach for, and when I put it in my mouth and bit it off, I got a raw feeling.

By the devotion of Vitman and Barti, Shizuko connected life in this warring world. The role that Shizuko should perform as their master is not to dwell in mourning, but to connect the lives they have left behind to the next generation.

Their sons, Kaiser and Kanihi, did not exchange sons of their own kind, but they leave their blood in the form of wolfdogs. I understood that it was my job to do everything I could to make sure it didn't go away.

"The moon is beautiful."

The banquet, dubbed the direct meeting, continues, but gradually its size is decreasing. Those who fell asleep and those who were drunk were carried outside every time by the satisfied, so fewer and fewer people remained in the venue.

Shizuko walked away from the place of a direct meeting, leaving it to the small servants and the lower workers who were serving and cleaning it up. The sun has already set abundantly, and heaven sees a clear moon that can never be seen in modern times.

"It's time to go to sleep. It's early tomorrow."

Nobunaga and Nobunaga never spoke, but Shizuko vaguely understood that they wanted their return.

Shizuko didn't think I was being flirtatious about it. I got enough time to think of my position, apart from my personal feelings and my responsibilities as lord and subordinate to Nobunaga.

Besides, this doesn't mean we have to separate ourselves from them. Shizuko's life will continue. As long as you live, the opportunity to touch them and flaunt them comes around.

"This is going to be a big deal."

Shizuko monologues as she looks up into the sky. Until now Nobunaga had been scratching a lot of information through Shizuko, but had not made active use of them to move.

But I guess I'm getting full of opportunities. Nobunaga, who sniffed it by nature's inquiry, would end her time in the female ambush and try to let the heavens know that she had celebrated her time in Yufei.

"Did the Lord wait for me until I settled down? You think too much of a boulder."

Shizuko whining in self-derision, but her thoughts were shooting at the target.

Nobunaga goes on offense at once more than this. To this end, it was also essential to have a static child to maximize the power of his own army.

Until she regained her full state of mind, she was watching the opportunity that she could not open the end of the battle.

And finally, the opportunity was full. If she returns to the front, the Second Eastern Conquest of Shinzhong and Shizuko begins.
