15 Episode XIV: The Fire Rope Gun and Soba

side/Kuyuan Ichima

The smell of gunpowder burning along with the shooting was all over the area. As a matter of fact, Nobunaga has been collecting his bad friends, the walnut kids, to make them shoot firecrackers this morning, right?

"Hmm. Sounds like you do need some training. Given the cost, I don't know."

The trigger came from Nobunaga's doubts. I specifically wanted to see how the accuracy of hitting a firearm differed between amateurs and those I trained.

I compared it to letting Nobunaga himself, including me and his last name, shoot all the bad friends or even the Els when they found out they could shoot a volcanic gun, but the results are obvious, right?

Nobunaga was the only one who could have shot me and Elles properly.

Seizaburo, his last name, and even Hisahiro Ikeda, who had no experience shooting later, didn't do it at first.

"You should train to fly faster before."

"By the way, your cannons are handy."

What surprised Nobunaga, by the way, was the gun spear, which can be removed from the shoulder to the gun bed and the belt to be hung from the shoulder. It's not that difficult or groundbreaking, but it's not in this era of Japan, is it?

"There are things in this form in Nanban. If it's a Japanese book, the armor is in the way, which may be difficult to use."

"Armor. Isn't this useless?

"There won't be anyone holding a large amount of artillery and shooting yet, so we'll be fine for the moment."

I tried shooting old armor at that and Nobunaga's orders, but it turned out to be stunningly pierced and unusable. It's what I knew, but when you think about it to a fire-rine gun opponent, armor makes no sense, right?

Should we make Nanban armor that feels better than existing armor? Well, you chased him.

"Okay. Put it firmly on your shoulder like this. If you do anything halfway, you'll get hurt."

"Here! You! You're gonna get hurt shooting like that!

By the way, at some point, the battle type Julia and Ceres are teaching you how to shoot a firearm. Are you sure?

Are you still a child, albeit a walnut? I honestly follow Julia and Ceres as powerful as the warriors of the war. In fact, those two are normally good with a firerope gun.

"Not by the way. You, what is that?

"Oh, is this it? I thought I'd make soba for lunch."

Nobunaga also understands that the two of you are good at shooting firecracker guns, so don't look particularly problematic when you see a woman teaching you.

However, what caught Nobunaga's interest was the sight of me, Elle and Ketty getting ready to soba.

"Soba."

It's delicious.

The soba itself doesn't respond very well. Why? It's delicious.

"You're going to noodle the soba?

"Yeah. Speaking of soba noodles?

"No, I've never heard of it. I've eaten noodles before."

Is that it? I have the image of soba being eaten in a time play, but isn't it common in this day and age?

"Young lady, there are ways to eat udon, noodled with wheat flour in the western countries. This is a mixture of soba flour and some of its wheat flour."

Apparently it's not noodles when it comes to soba noodles in this day and age. As much as Elle explains udon analogy, I guess it's not common.

Or because there are quite a few people, it's hard to beat soba. I was originally an amateur at soba noodles. I practiced a little on my hobby, so it only looks so good that I can hit it.

At the center of the soba noodles is the all-purpose Android El, and I help Katie cut the soba.

"Is it soy sauce to taste? I have something similar, but yours is something else."

"Soba sauce is different again."

Soba sauce is also made from a proper backdrop. I also use bonito and other things that are not in this day and age, so I won't be able to imitate them.

"Hehe. This is another strange dish, young"

"Awesome. Smells good."

"Ugh! What is this!? I've never eaten anything like this before!

The members gathered, mostly two or three farmers or less, seem to be the ones who manage to eat with the help of the house.

Soba doesn't seem uncommon in itself, but it seems to be the first soba noodled, and I guess most of the seasonings other than salt and miso have never been eaten.

Nobunaga and everyone with a small surname are somewhat used to the taste of soy sauce because they serve dishes seasoned with soy sauce several times when they come to us.

No one cares about politeness or anything, and at first everyone eats whatever they want.

It's just that when we were eating soba the way it was supposed to be, we all imitated it.

"Whatever the soba, Tsuyu's got money on him."

"Well, quite."

With everyone eating in a noise or panic on their asses, Nobunaga seems to have realized that it's not normal for the taste of soba sauce.

In this day and age, I guess I don't use sugar or anything for cooking. Bonito must be manufactured differently than what was in the future.

Exactly. The culture of taking stock seems to be in warring times, but it doesn't seem common. I guess Nobunaga can eat, but there's nothing else.

If you're eating the richly stocked soba noodles, you'll miss it. I used to stand up and eat soba and stuff.

"Confectionery will be soba dough"

"This is sweet and delicious. Is this soy sauce too?

"Yes, seasoned with sugar soy sauce"

And the dessert after the meal is soba sauce and misara-style soba dumplings.

Looks like we have soba dumplings, but I think we're all new to sweet sugar soy sauce sauce sauce.

"What about this white water?

"It's soba boiled juice. The soba is melted, so it's good for you."

I have to drink soba water nutritionally.

"Kazu. We're going out."

"Young lady. Where are you going?

"We're going to the river."

After a meal, I'm full, and I'm comfortable even wanting to take a nap, but Nobunaga starts moving fast. It's nice to be young.

――――――――――――――――――

side Nobunaga Oda

After all, they're different. From what to what.

They eat three meals a day, and they serve meals around noon.

Besides, I didn't expect you to eat soba so delicious.

Sugar may not be cheaper, but can't soy sauce be made with tailings? There are similarities but the taste is completely different.

If the liquor is well made, will you make soy sauce next?

Not enough. Everything.

I guess the Japanese books are poor.
