The Space Fortress That Came to the Sengoku Era

Episode 954: Celebration of the New Year

side: Guards

"I can't believe you're so good."

Oops, my mother still says she can't believe me every time she looks at me.

"Oh, Mother, this is still the head of the guard team. I took advantage of it the other day. It's time to believe me."

I wonder how many years have passed since that summer, when Long Distance came to Oori.

I am the fourth son of a copycat. All I could do was live. The main house can manage to feed me, so I'm just alive. Because I only had strong arms, Oda's young man remembered my face because I was arbitrating where I was fighting.

You'll be called when it was, and you'll be a guard, so work. That's what I was ordered to do.

Protect the territory by fighting bandits, arbitrating fights, and walking around the city. It was just right because I had spare time when I didn't have a field job. It was sometimes called a village crowd, but if Oda didn't fight around here, he would hardly do anything.

"Oh, I see. Come on, let's get you up."

Oops, does my mother know or not? While listening to the story, she smiled and handed me a bowl of rice cake juice.

"I see you're the best."

My elder brothers also seem to be on the board when they don't have a field job, making life at home easier. My oldest brother, who laughed so much, looked at me and chewed the cake with joy. Someday I want to be a samurai in battle. That's what I used to say about my brother.

"Ah, this golden liquor can't be drunk anytime ~"

"That's right. It's like a shop like Hachiya that doesn't have mixtures. It's not a drink we can drink."

My father and the other brothers are making a scene over the golden wine that was distributed to all the guards at the end of last year for the New Year's celebration.

I got a golden sake and whale meat to celebrate. Can you believe it? Even the peasants gave it to us.

Delicious.

Oh, the soup with the mochi is also delicious. Miso is different. It's not cheap bran miso. It's bean miso. It's not uncommon to find delicious food served in a guard barracks, but it must have been exciting because it's New Year's at home.

"That's right. I need to talk to you about adoption. The rice from the main house. That's a good story."

When I was full, I fell asleep next to the hearth. Then my drunk father said something unexpected.

"Isn't he going to be Lord's concubine?

"He stopped. I'd rather let you marry me than my concubine."

Wife. I thought it was time. There are more of them who are close to me. Many of them are happy to have a family because they became guards.

Don't say no. I've taken care of the house. Rice is not bad.

"Go say hello. I was surprised you weren't here on New Year's Day."

I've already decided to talk. Well, that's what it is. Oops, why don't you take some golden liquor and whale meat and go say hello to the main house?

I don't know what they'll say when I get back to the barracks.

Side: Kudo Ichiba

We all went to our first visit this year. I realize that the shrine is crowded year after year. Both Tsushima Shrine and Atsuda Shrine have many first-time visitors and seem busy since the early New Year.

It's only natural that you should take charge of your fate. I suppose we're trying to do something about it with our success.

Some of them were also in the city. I suppose you stepped on the idea that it would be more business than gathering people together. I think you're doing well.

"Congratulations on the dawn, princess."

"Happy Dawn!

On the fifth day of the New Year's Eve, this day will be the day of the Squid Rising Games. I also came to Kiyosu Sports Park, the venue of the Squid Riding Games, to say hello to New Year's Eve.

Nobu-san's children and Yoshifuji-kun are here today. Everyone is watching the squid climbing tournament.

"Jeez! Jeez!

"That's a squid climb. Young man."

Yoshifuji-kun, you're speaking to Masahiro-san with excitement when you first see a squid climb. I shouldn't have been able to come last year due to illness.

Well, there's been an increase in flashy squid climbs.

This squid climbing tournament. This year, the flashy squid climb stands out. Things like landscapes and beauty paintings are still good. Who's the one raising a squid climb like a spring painting?

"The number of painters has increased. They often asked me to paint a squid climb."

I thought it was impossible, but it was different. It seems that the people who are raising it are residents. Merty told me with a little bitter smile. I wondered if it was even the next festival.

Seems pretty popular.

Today, the robot family, Daibumaru and Kimi are accompanying me, so there are also Elles. Elle seems to be a little complicated by the way the spring painting squid climb is popular with the people. Well, the painting itself is unusual. In this era, erotic books are not natural.

In the first place, there is not a lot of culture where people feel ashamed of sexual things. Does it feel natural?

"Oh, it's a bump!

What Oichi found was a snake climb with a realistic picture of a robot and blanca. This was a tin and cherry one. It doesn't look like a Japanese painting, but those two painted it? I think Keiji painted it.

If you look closely, there are also some snake climbs depicting pictures of our barbarian ships.

"Oh, those two...."

I was watching the squid climb, but I knew people who walked a little further.

"She's pregnant. About six months now."

"Summer Hall, are you pregnant?"

Pamela taught me how to get pregnant with a former Takeda witch, Summer and husband, who were trying to protect each other from an attack at a squid climbing tournament a few years ago.

I should still be working as a nurse at the hospital. They don't seem to notice us because there are a lot of people out there, but I'm happy to walk in a friendly manner.

Good. Yes, but Ichii-san and Taro Saemon are getting married soon. The Takigawa family and the Mizuki family will get a real room and get married. The story itself was decided in the spring, but I was busy with Yoshitaka Onuchi's legend and so on, so I decided that it was time to celebrate the New Year.

I can't tell you about people, but if you don't take care of them, you won't get married. People of this age. Because that's obvious. Ikeda Katsusaburo's relatives are to adopt Mr. Katsusaburo and his wife is to come.

Katsusara-san asked me to do this. The person who was originally adopted by the Takigawa family to the Ikeda family is dead, so he wants a new edge. Well, rather than Katsusaburo-san herself, it seems to be the Ikeda family's general idea. I'm sure the elders of my relatives will tell me a lot.

I also consulted with Kiyoshi-san and the person in charge also agreed, so I am proceeding with that. I had to meet him in advance and have tea with him several times, but Cindy, who set up the place, seemed to have a good impression of each other, so I went on to applaud him.

The problem is Keiji. Friendship is good. However, there is a slightly higher hurdle called eccentric from people of this era, besides I don't really feel that way about the person.

I know his name, and if he doesn't care about the details, he's with me.
