Chapter 324: I would like to have plenty of that kind of katana

There are swords like this in the west?

Yes. We were able to make this sword thanks to the parts from a special monster. At least in theory, this sword could be used forever.

We only just became able to make such swords recently, so we didnt have anything to serve as proof to that claim.

Incidentally, do you think its possible to make a katanaour nations style of swordthat has the same property as that one?

I think so, yes.

Really!?

My answer surprised Shogun Ieasu.

Shortly after, Masamine-san huffed and shouted something.

For us samurai, our katana is more important our own life! However, no matter how excellent a katana is, repeated use will wear it down and cause its inevitable end to come much sooner! It is sadly not rare for a katana to be beyond repair after an intense battle! The death of a cherished katana is worse than the death of ones own child! It is no exaggeration on my part to say that a katana that can be perpetually used is a dream that all samurai share!

Masamine-san was so excited that Shogun Ieasu cautioned him to c-calm down a little.

What have I done? To be so impolite in front of the shogun himself!? This is the gravest error I have made in my life! The only way I can atone for it is to commit

Another gravest error of his life? Dont he have one too many of those?

Masamine-san tried to, again, commit seppuku. And again, his retainers did their best to stop him from doing so.

While acting as though it was all business as usual, Shogun Ieasu left them be and moved the conversation along.

You have something like that?

Furthermore, even across mountains and deserts, our railway systems have no problem whatsoever in transporting people. After all, its all underground.

Underground!?

Speaking of deserts, we actually had installed railways in the desert. So, even now, people from your nation should be able to visit our kingdom easily by making use of the one there.

Eh?

The shogun was astonished by what I just said.

Which was only natural given that there was a mysterious mode of transportation so close to his nation that he had no knowledge of.

*(But if thats true, then if their side ever felt like it, they can attack us at anytime, cant they? For me, the shogun, to not know that such a thing was built recentlymoreover, considering that they have the technology to make those swords, its clear that making enemies out of them is quite the dangerous endeavorthen, establishing friendly ties seem to be the only option.)*

The shogun then timidly asked something.

B-by the way, have you already visited the other eastern nations?

We havent, but we do plan on doing so.

I seeapart from Kyou, I am certain that at least Osaku will wish to tradevery well then, I want a reyl way system of yours to pass through the mountain range. How much manpower and time will its construction take?

If we start now, it should be done by tomorrow at the latest, I think.

Tomorrow at the latest!?
