The Space Fortress That Came to the Sengoku Era

"Is this Qingzhou? That's a great town..."

Escaping their hometown village, we finally reached Tsingzhou in Ozhang. With other displaced persons from Matsuhei-sama's territory in the Three Rivers.

The house given will be a long house in Qingzhou. It's a little narrower than my hometown house, but I can't even live with eight families. Above all, I can only thank you for lending us a home without money.

"Are you making fun of Mikawa too?

"Yes, I can't eat..."

"Right. Good for you. You'll be fine if you get here."

Next door to the longhouse is a family that also came from the Three Rivers a few months ago. I'm not really out of line, but you think Ozhang has a bunch of displaced people from around him?

Some of them are rebuilding villages or creating new ones that have been vandalized and abandoned by the orders of their lords in Oda, but we are told to work in popular places in Qingzhou.

He said he was remodeling Oda's castle and expanding the city of Qingzhou. Says he's an instructor, but if he works, he gets money and food.

I received nothing from the lecturer at the main temple, but there are quite a few people in Oda's lord's territory who make money from the lecturer to eat rice.

"The little child will be kept by Mr. Xuan there. I can't work because I was injured in battle when I was younger, so I'm the one who's protecting and eating."

We left our kids with our neighbors who still couldn't work, and we were supposed to start working in the outdoor the next day.

The place will be outside the town of Qingzhou. They fill the wetlands and tidy up the land to expand the town.

"Um, my wife and children..."

"Don't worry. The women and the children are another job. They're telling me not to let you do the same job as a man. They also teach children to read and write. As much as I appreciate it."

But as soon as he arrived at the scene, his wife and children were taken elsewhere. Asking the soldiers nearby in a hurry about their wives and children returned a surprising answer.

The women are going to be ready for work and lunch. He says children are taught to read and write simple letters after being given the task of stepping on soiled land.

In the village of Migawa, even the elders could only read and write.

"Hey, new guy. It's a break."

"Oh, yes? Is that a break?

"Here, there are two other breaks at noon. They're selling over there, so you can have something if you want some money. And if it's white water, you can have it."

"No, I..."

"If you work hard, you'll be able to eat soon."

The job was tough. We also have to carry dirt from a remote location and dig moats.

However, the tools here are completely different from the villages of my hometown. "Suki" and "Kuwa" are sturdy and easy to use with a lot of iron. They also use a luggage truck to carry dirt.

And what surprised me was that there was a break. They have a break once before noon and once after noon. Speaking of instructors, I thought they would work without rest from morning to evening, but Ozhang seems different.

By the time of the break, the merchandise sales were showing up at the popular place. Looks like he's selling fish, grilled rice, etc. to barley water.

"Refrain!

When there were only a few days left during the break, the feeling of the popularity area became more rugged. The soldiers' condition changed and signs of tension dominated the neighborhood.

"Who is it?

"That's Oda's young man and Kurumoto."

A young samurai dressed funny and a man like a merchant when he refrains from going around wondering what it is. That and the women with the color of their hair that I had never seen before came.

The young people have apparently come to see the prevalence area and have been explained everywhere.

"You. New?

"Ha!

"Come to Naguno's hospital after lunch."

"What!?

"Heh! I'll make sure you go!

I wondered if we would hold back until the young ladies returned, but for the young ladies' maids, what they would wear would be voiced by the elegant young lady, confused without knowing what to do.

The man I worked with accidentally replied instead, but I don't see why. What is a hospital? What am I supposed to do?

"Um..."

"It's Ketty, the wife of Kuyuan. He's a Nanban doctor, and I don't know if he's Oozhong. He's not around. Go to the hospital."

"But if I don't work, I'll have food..."

"Don't worry. The guy called by Master Ketty is sick, so he can feed me, and his family can care about me."

I've never seen a doctor before. I only look like a teenage daughter.

In the first place, why would the wife of a martial arts family see me as a displaced person with no money? Even your boy says it's his home town, even though he won't see me without money.

"The young lady gave me water candy! I'm handing it out now, so line up!

"Look, water candy!?

"You're on today. Sometimes the ladies bring us plugs."

Plus if you think the youngsters are home, water candy!?

You're talking about the extent to which you're following me? I've never eaten candy before my age.

Sweet......

You have such sweet things in the world. My wife and children also looked around and searched, each eating water candy between the ladies and children.

I'm about to cry.

Some are actually crying. It's a man from the Three Rivers with me.

Old enough not to get away with it. Oops. I was telling him on my journey that I had left my mother. At least you guys got away. Ooh, my mother told me to run, and she brought her crying family away.

Did the man's grief pass on to everyone? Everyone was licking water candy as they seemed to love it in the somewhat soggy place "Baba".

I wonder why the boy who serves the Buddha was so hard on us.

Why does Oda's lord make us so good?

Miso flavoured rice cooking at noon. Besides, it's not just rice cooking. It's a luxurious rice cooker with even fish in wheat and soba.

In a large pan that seems to be replaceable, many of the cooking dishes are instantly gone.

"Um, I was told to come to the hospital..."

"Go. But you can talk to your family before you go."

After eating, I was to go to the hospital in Naguno with those who were also voiced by Master Ketty.

Hi, it seems that people who were called out by Master Ketty often go to the hospital. I also said I don't have any money, but I don't need it.

"This is the hospital?

"It's like a castle..."

I walked from Qingzhou to Naguno and when I arrived, it was a building so splendid that I thought it was a castle or a temple.

"Wash your hands and feet in a well there and drop mud, etc."

"Um... I don't have any money..."

"You don't need money. We'll wait inside until they call you for an examination."

In such a splendid building, the people who came with me stood up not knowing if they could enter in front of the gate, but a lady like a samurai came out from inside and was guided.

When I leave my sidewalk and luggage, I clean myself up and enter the building as I was told.

There are young and old people in there and they have different identities. Let's sit tight in the corner so we don't get in the way.

"Take this medicine three times a day after you eat it. Come back in five afternoons."

It was Master Ketty who saw me. He saw me in a strange smelling room I hadn't really smelled, but he was drugged out without explaining anything.

"Am I some kind of disease?

"It's okay. Take the pill and it'll heal. So take your medication properly."

After all, Master Ketty didn't tell me what the disease was. But I'm not taking any money, so I don't think you're cheating.

"Are you in trouble for living? You're a little too skinny."

"I just came to Qingzhou yesterday..."

"Was I? I'll accommodate some food. Eat well and take your medicine."

After seeing Master Ketty, I was asked a lot about where she lived by an older woman and what she ate on a daily basis.

Is it enough to go out of my way to write on paper?

I honestly obey because I am not in a position to defy it, but on my way home I got vegetables, chicken eggs, fish dried, etc. That's a good amount because I explained that I have a lot of family.

"Heal your body quickly and work hard to repay your debt."

I just tried to be sorry and shy, but an older woman scolded me. Tough words, but you're right.

All the roadblocks and rice bills for the journey from Migawa to Chingzhou were given to me by Oda's lord. I have to return the favor.

But it's strange. Ozhang and Mikawa are neighboring countries. Besides, my hometown village lies on Oda's lord's territory, at the end of his eyes and nose. And yet I didn't know it was so different...

I don't think I can put it in my mouth.

I wondered if your boy needed to rule the village.

The boy says he will be punished for something, but I wonder if that is true.

I don't know.

I don't know, but I won't be returning to my home village or relying on the boy from Honshiji Temple again.

Here I am, living in Ozheng.
