The Space Fortress That Came to the Sengoku Era

Episode 720: Reunion and Ise Shrine

Side: a long time ago

After a day off, I go to Ise Shrine.

The offerings and offerings are to be transported separately from the tailings and will be later. It's not the same as when I came here before, such as in relation to Otomota. Nowadays, as every day, there are ships out between Krabby River and Otsuma, so much so that the modified ships of the Sage Navy serve regular ships that carry people. That ship, which is a Japanese compromise ship, will get there in no time.

It has good relations with the Kitakyu family, which are in the same economic zone and occupy Ise Shrine and South Ise. I can't be caught off guard, but it will be a more secure environment than Kichinai's.

It's been three years since then. Otsuma has changed. Originally flourished as a companion to Ise Jingu, it is now one of the logistics hubs of East Japan.

"That's for sure..."

As I was relaxing on the horse that Otomoto prepared for me and moving towards Ise Shrine, I saw people holding back along the road. Seeing in a nostalgic blush, Nobunaga was stopping the queue and calling out.

"Yes, I was the one who helped you three years ago. Here, say hello."

"Kichiji and I will!

This is the pregnant woman we helped the first time we visited Ise Shrine. The child, who had refrained from doing so in a manner not well understood next door, was urged by his mother to greet him well.

"Whoa, that baby! You've grown!!

Rumor has it we'll be back, and he's been waiting to see us at first sight and say thank you. It sure got bigger. Are you three years old by the count? I've been three years old since I was born. I guess it's a messy assortment.

Nobunaga walked over happily off the horse.

Yoshiji, who are you? He looks up intrigued with a face he says.

"You've grown really big"

"Right. Looks like the other day."

Me and Elle also walk down the horse, but Elle looked emotionally.

After that, I heard that that was the first time Elle had ever been present at the birth place to take up a child. Although it seems that Ketty has taken up children several times instead of midwives.

I miss that I was happy to be present at the miracle of having a child.

"Are you trying to help my father or my mother?

"Yes!"

Shin-soo looked a little happy watching Shin-soo speak gently. These are the times, but the people love you. I guess it's more kind of you to be such a lord than to hate me.

"It might be interesting to let them do martial arts and academics. From now on, the people will also learn martial arts and academics. What do you say we come to Ozhang? Ozhang teaches martial arts and academics to those who want them. There's plenty of work to do."

The scenery is totally in autumn. Nobunaga, who was talking nostalgic, suddenly lured Yoshiji and his parents to come tailing him.

It is true that people who can read and write will be in their favor in the coming times. I think they have a life, though.

"Yes, I would like to come sooner or later"

I thought you might be more confused, Yoshiji, but your parents look surprisingly happy. If you're coming, I'll have to take care of work and stuff. Ask the Otomoto congregation to see how it goes.

This time there was no trouble that seemed particularly troublesome, and we arrived straight at Ise Shrine.

"Welcome aboard."

Last time, I was greeted by Mr. Sugi, but this time it seems to be Mr. Miyagi. Your welcome is ranked up because of your father-in-law.

Ise Shrine itself hasn't changed much. Some places can be seen as rough. Nevertheless, the number of worshippers seems to be increasing. It was also bumpy on the road, but there are traveling worshippers in Ise Shrine as well. A lot of them would be merchants who stopped by Osakami.

"Isn't it busier than before?"

"Thanks to you all. These days, travelers from different countries will also come by boat from Ozhang."

Nobunaga also seems to have noticed a more lively appearance than before, but there are many besides the worshippers of the merchants Miyashi said.

As I said earlier, a regular boat of the Sage Navy is out of Krab River recently. If the sea isn't rough, there should be one flight out every day. From the Krabby River to Ohashi, take it from Ohashi to Kumana, and return from Kumana to the Krabby River. There is one such route.

Sage, the Navy is very busy. I make more money in food processing and transport for fishing and aquaculture than taking a toll on simple directions. So much so that the home base is virtually moving to the Krabby River.

I have a good reputation for not removing items from the inside and not handling luggage in a rambling manner, because it keeps me to a minimum of morality. If people are transported from the Krabby River to Otomo, it depends on the wind, but it won't take a day to get there. It seems popular when you're carrying something early for sale.

Everyone in the Sage Navy takes our advice most seriously, right? Reform is the quickest thanks to it.

Ise and Shima's naval crowd are the ones most at risk. The Sage Navy is proud to have escaped from the Coastal Navy, and morality is incredibly high in this era. The surrounding navy just doesn't change, does it?

Speaking of Oda territory, the Mizuno family of the same Chita Peninsula is also small in size but has a navy. From the Chita Peninsula, the western part of Migawa Bay becomes a territory. There's also the Ottome Peninsula in Mitsugawa Bay, and there's a Mitsugawa Navy.

They have also been apprenticing the Sage Navy for some time now. We are supposed to discuss it with Shinsu and George and accommodate the modified ship. When it officially became the Oda Water Army, the Mizuno family's navy was the most powerful force.

"Don't be a little rough though"

Now we're walking through Ise Shrine territory, but Shin-soo looked around with a little sigh wondering if it was still rough.

We reported it, and Shinsu herself was asked to make a donation, so she knew, but when she saw it, she still didn't think it was enough.

I was traveling and thought, after all, the maintenance of the temple is also a barometer of the power of those who rule the land. There are only a few fine temples and towns, like the Stone Mountain Honganji Temple, and there is no room for anything else to get that far.

Ise Shrine is not a level place that can be supported in Osamura or South Ise, either. Although commerce has thrived in Osaka and Uji and Yamada, it doesn't mean that Tokaido will pass through South Ise. The flow of people was limited and the size of the economy was known.

It seems that people are changing these days because people are coming by sea, but from what I can tell, Ise Shrine hasn't been able to take advantage of the current situation that much.

Leaving him alone, he'll be home soon enough to come to worship from Otomo, and I guess the money won't fall apart from Otomo. There are more things I can do in Oda territory. If we're going to do something, we need to talk to the Kitami family.

The Kitakyu family is friendly, but Kitakyu's father, Kitakyu Harijuku, sees well? Especially since the Hokkaido family has grown rapidly in the neighborhood. There are wary voices in the Hokkaido family.

"Is this Ise's shrine? That I worship the Great God of Heaven, the ancestor of the morning court..."

Oh, some people are fun. It's Yoshihui. They went for a walk outside yesterday and a lot happened.

If we don't do something about it, we'll find out it's you. Well, I think the time will settle.

Mr. Bushi seems to think that's another experience, and he hasn't said it in detail. I can't help but find out it's you somewhere. It feels good if you don't find out you're a general.

Surely what Yoshihui needs is to learn and experience herself and let her live. If you move as you're told, it's no different than being in a decaying tree.

Nevertheless, I'm glad I spotted Silver Next. Otomoto also has other countries. The extra things are only as unknown as possible.

Yet, Mr. Ginji, I've never seen you before, have I? I'd love to see you once, but it's not the right time.

Serious people are like, 'Is that guy okay?' Some people worry, but I'm not too worried, am I? Because people who know the world like that are more experienced and thoughtful than bad samurai. As much as I want from our minister.

Apparently, he's not the type.
