Nobunaga’s Imouto is My Wife

Episode 118: The Base of Kyo

A comprehensive manual on prisoners does not exist in pre-modern societies.

That also means, in short, that any discrepancies were left to the commander.

The captive enemy or the inhabitants living in its territory could have been enslaved, or made the subject of trafficking as a commodity.

The price that became the reference amount at that time was 2 pieces.

Slave trading usually takes place in Japan, and it seems that trade fairs for slaves also stand in each city.

Nevertheless, the implicit rule that you (the public servant) should be treated with care - seems to have existed.

The meal should not have been given anything crude, and I had to give something solid about the kimono. And it is assumed that the facility to be accommodated must also be a natural place - such as a temple.

It goes without saying that, in other words, if there is anything like capturing you, it means that the cost is cumbersome.

Therefore, it seems that many people who dislike extra spending have secretly handled it in front of the building called "death in action" or "suicide".

Showon, the head of the Yoshiyuki Hoshikawa family. I am witnessing the sight of the whole Oda family cracking in two, whether to kill him or not, when there was a report of captivating him.

Eventually, the noise that had been heard near the entrance to the mansion stopped. Then I felt signs of multiple people approaching.

Signs stop in front of me and Kusu's room. Eventually, I heard him coming in from the back. Go ahead, Kusu responds on my behalf.

He was to partition any differences on this occasion, even though he was not a minister of the Asai family.

I beg your pardon.

A young man my age enters the room in accordance with his manners.

Indeed, as Kusu had praised earlier - Showon looked invisible to the samurai.

Skinny bodies have little muscle thickness. It has no appearance, serenity, insurance, and a soft impression.

It was just proof left that he wasn't nervous at all. After thanking him, he says.

"Dr. Ryukyo, it's Shomoto Hoshikawa. At the invitation of Lieutenant General Kanbei."

"This is Changzheng Asai, thank you for your hard work."

The opponent is the head of a prestigious family. There would be no harm in treating it politely.

I stepped on it. I looked them in the eye and told them to move.

"I am honored to have met the Lord of the Yoshiyaka Hoshikawa family in this way, as the head of the Asai family, and as the Biwaki bishop"

"I know with utmost pleasure."

Shomoto returns the courtesy of the model.

Kusu, who saw it, spanked both hands. Then the bamboo opens, and the samurai with Kusu enters the room with a basin of sweets and tea.

Kusu said to Showon with a truly gentlemanly attitude and tone.

"Dr. Ryukyoshi liked sharpening. Lieutenant General RightKingsguard has given us his permission to prepare."

"This is... unusual. Thank you for your generosity."

Showon was delighted to shine his eyes.

Alchemy is a type of sweet. Heating a large amount of sugar in a white filling (Shirakone), adding minced powder powdered with rice, and beautifully shaping.

The purgatory cut now offered mimics flowers such as kiki, swordfish and sea urchins. It was taken from Kyoshu's confectionery shop that Kusu was being kind to him.

He is a prisoner, but his opponent is the Yoshiyuki Hoshikawa family. If it is also a seat of response, the liquor should be behaved well.

But according to Kusu, Showon doesn't like alcohol at all. So instead, I was supposed to serve expensive confectionery.

"Matcha goes well with purification. This is the ultimate food culture created by our people in Japan."

And the three of us flatten the confectionery.

Sugar confectionery is precious and expensive. No matter how high-ranking the officials are, they are not always able to eat.

However, Kusu's samurai come out with a replacement as soon as the branded confectionery is gone.

And Showon kept eating Japanese sweets at a level of suspicion as to what the hell kind of stomach he was wearing.

To eat large quantities, the appearance of the meal is truly elegant. It was strange that I couldn't even feel the bitchy (no) shard.

"Dr. Ryukyo seems to be very healthy."

I laugh unexpectedly. I had to put it in my mouth.

Sweet food is something that gets heartburn if you eat too much, but it doesn't seem like it in Shodo.

"That's enough, Lieutenant General."

The owner of the Yoshiyuki Hoshikawa family nods. I didn't dislike that face. They took my word for it honestly.

"Sweet things are delicious, and this is a set market. The girls say they're different bellies and eat Amazra, but that's the same thing for men. Sweet food and regular meals have different stomachs."

Amazura is a sweetener that was a major in Japan before it was possible to produce large quantities of sugar.

This raw material is a wooden book in the woods that hangs around a large tree - or a snail.

The process of making amazura is extremely annoying. That is, we have to collect large quantities of snails, squeeze out the sap, and boil them.

Sometimes that hassle has been repelled, and in the Edo period of mass-produced sugar, it will be completely tidal as a food culture.

"Now, Dr. Ryukyo, sweets will break your teeth. Be careful if you eat too much."

"Dear Bullet, unfortunately, I'm not worried about that."

Showon said with a laugh.

"No, I'm rootless, too. Because there are just titles that don't even seed rice. Naturally, I can't handle expensive things like sweets. To get your hands on it, you have to be in a position to serve somewhere and get paid... Oh, you've said something vulgar in front of the lieutenant general."

"Oh, you don't have to do that, Dr. Ryukyo."

Kusu grinned bitterly as he stroked his moustache.

"The Lieutenant General would like to make it easier for His Highness Dr. Ryokyo."

"Thank you very much."

Showon stops eating sweets. And I prayed with a serene face.

When I snort, Kusu looks at the ladies. They got it too, and after re-pouring matcha tea - they left the room refreshed.

Regarding the difference in response, Sanho family housekeepers are still handy.

"If I may explain to the lieutenant general not to be misunderstood..."

Again, Kusu continues in a perfectly gentlemanly tone.

"- The awkward and Dr. Rikkyo are not strangers. Dr. Rikkyo was still being held hostage by a young child, the Sanho family. And the awkward have given lectures on warfare and ancient texts on several occasions."

"In that sense, Mr. Bullet is also my master."

"I see."

I agreed with Kusu and Showon.

"Then it's not strange knowing your confectionery preferences"

"Thank you very much for your help, Lord Bullet. Anyway, I was a bad apprentice."

So for the first time, Showon says to mock himself.

"From the beginning, I am unrelated to freedom. I thought you had taken off your status as a hostage, no more captive...... It would always be like exposing yourself to ugliness in the sight of Bullet Master. Or maybe you could say it's chained."

"On the chain... No, this is, unfortunately, Lord Ryukyoshi is the head of the Yoshiyuki Hoshikawa family"

Kusu cleverly covered up his laughter until earlier and said without showing the colour of his disdain as if it were.

"We must prepare Dr. Ryukyo for inconvenience as common sense. The birth of a famous family is like that. While you are accustomed to being given, you must not take it for granted. Or we'll go the wrong way."

"Here we go."

Showon laughs with a smile without front or back.

"Master Bullet has long been called tough. But I was born a bird in a cage. Without knowing the outside world, all the rice kinds are arranged by those outside the cage. Don't take it for granted... it must be difficult for those whose lives were fundamental."

"Even if you knew that would be the limit of that person's, as a person? Familiarity with decadence, on the other hand, crushes possibilities."

"It's already stained."

Dr. Ryukyo smiled and looked at me.

"My Yoshiyuki Hoshikawa family is a ruler, even if rotten... so to speak, assists the Muromachi General who heads the Martial Family and should oversee the Tabernacle. It's gone, and in the battle that was taken up by the general, Ozhang's country fame is defeated - and this is not the laughter of heaven, but what the hell is it?"

"The battle is also luck, Lord Right Kyo. You need to tell your lord."

When I say that, he says in a smooth voice.

"If we are to replace the possibility with luck, Bullet says that my current situation has reduced the likelihood of winning indefinitely, but is a self-destruct of the late. Lord Lieutenant General, I must say this to you too. I'm prepared to accept what I have, even if I'm not too concerned."

Because the bird in the cage must accept it spoiledly no matter what the outside do - Showon says so, and begins to eat the purgatory again.

Apparently I misjudged him.

Indeed, the master of the Yoshiyuki Hoshikawa family must be a very honest and simple man.

But that doesn't mean you're stupid. There is a race in the world called 'but honest smart people'. For example, so that there are people who can study but are easily deceived.

Perhaps he, too, is the race he said he was.

"Then let me be frank with you, Lord Shomoto. Apparently, you and I are getting old."

With that said, Showon chews and swallows the purgatory gracefully.

"It's a wish or a fulfillment."

After sipping his tea and breathing in, he smiled.

"I cannot have the power to look to the future. Such imitation should be left to the occupiers around the courtyard. Now, I can understand what's going to happen under the sky. Aside from whether it will be temporary or permanent."

Showon said, with a straight voice that can't even feel the shards of disgust.

"As far as I'm concerned, I'd love to be friends with my heavenly brother-in-law. I don't deny that it's with intent."
