The Space Fortress That Came to the Sengoku Era

"It's Lu" Oh "! I can see Lu!

"It's Izu!

"I can't believe you got here so fast!

Thanks to the boat running throughout the night, we were able to reach the Izu Peninsula on the third day. Night sailing is difficult and dangerous, so I wasn't sure if I'd continue sailing. Mr. George told me to do it.

He wanted to experience what he could do when he was with our ship. Luckily, the weather wasn't bad either.

But there were times when the ship swayed heavily into high waves along the way, and through triangular waters. I guess everyone had anxiety, too. I cheered when I saw the Izu Peninsula.

Quite a few members have been seasick and have been drinking Ketty's anti-intoxication. You think some of them were stupid that they shouldn't have come?

I guess everyone just figured out how hard it was to travel on sailboats in this era.

"If you get here, you'll take a breather."

"Let's go into Shimoda Collection. We've already announced our return, so there might be a naval crowd picking us up."

The convoy continues at the suggestion of Mr. Phantom Inn and heads to Shimoda Collection. I didn't get back to you in time, but Mr. Phantom Inn was sending out a letter.

When it comes to Izu's Shimoda set, it would be a famous set from the Edo period onwards. It is known as a compact used to wait for the wind in Sagami Bay when crossing Far Eastern Beach and entering Kanto, where ships coming from the west are difficult.

In historical fact, the arrival of Perry's black fleet at the end of the Edo shogunate also became Izu's Shimoda. Though coincidental, I didn't expect our fleet to stop by Shimoda Collection either. Sometimes history says black ships come sailing or something.

No way, huh?

"Discover the ship forward! There is the family crest of the Hojo family!

I was informed by Mast's watch that I saw the ship when the land was nearer. A Hojo family ship? Were you waiting? Though I think it's a good idea to keep an eye on him whenever he comes.

Yeah. He's not picking me up for now. The ship is early. It's like a ship that looks around on a regular basis. With their guidance, we were to head to Shimoda Setsu.

"I thought I was going to die"

"Don't feel wobbly yet"

Sounds like Izu's naval base in the Hojo family, but it's definitely a good terrain port. I would like to use it as a port of call if I were to send out a trading ship.

Many smiled at the young samurai in a howling manner when they landed on land. Everyone in the Sage Navy must have been just as hard as usual. He seems happy to have come safely.

"Dear Mr. Nishido Maru, Dear Shouxi Sungawa, You will return safely and rest in peace."

"Hmm. Have you heard the news?"

"Ha. I have been ordered by Your Highness to receive you politely and guide you to Odawara.... and it's a big ship."

"Perhaps even in Japan, there is no one else with such a ship."

Nishido Maru is a little seasick, but Mirage Man is pimping. I'm talking soothingly with the greeter, but all the Hojo Navy people around rarely see our ship.

The same goes for the Galeon and Carabel ships, but it looks like the Sage Navy ships are attracting a lot of attention.

"Lord Sanro. I'm off here today, and I was wondering if I could go to Odawara tomorrow."

"I'm already in charge of Hokujo territory here. Regards,"

By the way, both Nobunaga and I are dressed properly for samurai-like attire. Nobunaga talked to the welcome person and Mirage Inn, and I think he's going to spend the night at Shimoda Takashi on this day.

Seems like the Sarge Navy had a rough time, too, and I want to give it a rest.

Both Shinko and Shinan look just as dignified or, to put it bluntly, far-fetched. Shinguang with excellent martial arts and Shinan with civilian skin. Add the two of you and you're in good balance.

"If you don't mind…, just a little bit, so can we take a closer look at the ship?

"Yeah. Go ahead. You can ride."

I'll talk to the Hojo Navy as I go and confirm my plans for tomorrow. This time the fleet can leave even if the wind direction is not slightly good, so it would be nice to have a conductor on board, but when they send out a ship that they intend to lead, it's a leg job. I'm not sure. While confirming there, he asked me to show him a little boat.

If you're going to do business with the Hojo family, you have to make this Shimoda Harajuku a port of call. We need to get closer to Hojo Navy.

side: Hokujo Navy Shimodachi

"Hey, you hear that?"

"Oh. You're talking about picking me up because you're going back by boat from Ozhang, aren't you?

"What. You were listening."

Here in Shimoda, it becomes the basis for Izu's Hokujo Navy from the time of Lord Zorui. From Izu here to the west, beyond Surugawa Bay is Far State Beach, which is a ship's difficulty, but there are still ships that come.

There have been a lot of ships loaded from Ozhang these days, but this time you and Shoji Sungawa will return on Oda's boat in Ozhang?

"I heard rumors of a Nambarian ship coming."

"Really?

"Master Sungawa's letter says so."

The story of Oda's Nanban ship is also known to exist in Izu. The Nanban ship itself is a merchant's ship called Kuyuan, and you still do business with Ming and Nanban?

Someone who came forward rumored that it was a ship that was shaking up the marines in Ise Bay. Even though Kanto laughs at the fact that Ise Bay's navy is not a big deal, especially when it trembles on a Nanban ship.

"Hey. That..."

"That's a black ship..."

Honestly, we were awaiting your return so unconsciously, but the ship arrived much earlier than expected. Apparently, a ship around him stumbled upon it and brought it in a hurry.

I was also surprised to get here early, but most importantly I was surprised by the way it looked. There are ten ships painted black on the hull. Besides, one ship is obviously big. No, it's too big.

The number of sail columns is also high and the number and shape of sails are different. Everyone would be genuinely surprised that this is the rumored Nambarian ship.

"Is this...?

"It's a cannon. You're the big one with the cannon."

We were surprised, but even more surprised was when they put us on the boat.

I've heard rumors about the wind. Nanban ships have strange weapons and sink ships. Eight on one side and sixteen cannons on both sides were loaded on the Nambarian ship.

If you look closely, the ship itself seems to be well built. At least it would be a better ship than any I've ever seen.

"Is there a ship like this in Ogi?"

"It's Ozhang or Kurumo-sama's ship."

"You're a rumored merchant, aren't you, Kuyuan? Weren't you supposed to have followed Oda?

"Kuyuan-sama is special even in Ogi. The Nanban ship is Kurumi's ship. We taught Kurumi to modify our ship and build it."

It wasn't the earliest laugh that Ise Bay's navy wasn't a big deal either.

When I spoke to a sailor in the Navy who was nearby, he seemed to be a Sagittarian from the Chita Peninsula and told me about the rumors of a long time ago.

It is no exaggeration to say that 'we have already ruled Ise Bay commerce under our control'. It seems rumored that Odachi already has second power to the Oda family, and what surprises me more than anything is that Kuyuan supports George, who is not even a territory to prepare for famine, etc.

We were a little jealous of the man who proudly told us he planted a tree to set the mountain together.

――――――――――――――――――

Astronomical Kanto Road notes clearly describe the sailing journey to Kanto.

After the second day it seemed to sail through the waves of the outer sea, and the seasickened continued. However, officials of the Kuyuan family, who were originally accustomed to the ship, seemed to have nothing to do with seasickness, and everyone said that they were just from the Kuyuan family.

Although seasickness was improved by Kuyuan Ketty, who accompanied him as a sailor, there appeared to be a number of dangerous difficulties and a difficult sailing journey to the east from Ozhang.

One horse herself gave way to a private room to the Oda clan headed by Nobunaga, who seemed to sleep with the others in miscellaneous fishes, and it is remembered that everyone admired Nobunaga and everyone else for caring and keeping their bedrooms apart from their wives.

Furthermore, Hokujo family materials in Kanto stated that the Black Ship fleet seemed to arrive at Izu at an alarming speed in common sense at the time, and rushed to inform Odawara.

The fleet of ten black ships is said to have surprised the fearless Hojo Navy, such as the Nanban ships, and to have found its way into large black hulls and complex sails.

It should be noted that at the time of the stop at Shimoda, Oda appeared to have shown the ship aboard by placing officials of the Hojo Navy on board a Nanban ship, which was recorded as demonstrating sincerity and friendship by showing the highest class military confidentiality.

The Hojo family dossier says the matter is the coming of a black ship, and in view of its later history, it praises the foresight and feat of Hojo Phantom House, which sent a black ship to Oda.

Incidentally, in Shimoda, Shimoda called Shimoda Black Ship Festival, and when we enter Heisei, aspirations build a ship that mimics Kuyuan's black ship, usually moored on display in Shimoda Harbor, but before the festival, we move to Odawara and bring tourists on board to sail to coincide with Shimoda Black Ship Festival.
