124 Episode One Hundred and Twenty-three: The Situation at the End and the Hostage Thousand Generations

side: Kuyuan Yima

"We will pick up the food immediately, so divide it among the inhabitants. If possible, divide it between the villages and the remuneration of the instructors who rebuild the fields."

On this day of weather like the mid-rainy season, I am coming to Iwakura territory in Upper Four Counties on the orders of Shinsu.

The purpose is to inspect the upper four counties and select potential sites for the construction of mountain villages. But the Takigawa Ninja Army reported that the site of the civil war was also terrible the other day, so when I came, the fields and villages were vandalized and the villagers were in distress as they stood shoulder to shoulder in the only remaining small temple.

"Ha. But are you sure?

"I will speak to my lord. However, it shall be divided properly into the inhabitants. Never take it out of the box."

You're right about Ninja Takikawa. The guide was accompanied by Mr. Yamanuchi. He seems to be the richest father in the mountains. Other earthquake lords of the village were showing themselves, but no one was even trying to rebuild the village.

Iwakura is also no longer a guardian, and I understand how difficult it is to reduce the territory from the top four counties where it was nominally to substantial minutes. Because those who were obedient to both sides of the Independence Territory and the Bullet Zhongzhong family became the direct ministers of the Bullet Zhongzhong family. Influence is definitely dropping.

But this will cause another problem in Iwakura territory. Shinsu tells me that no further disturbances in Iwakura are necessary.

I also get permission to do what I can.

"Then let me carry you first from the neighborhood. But this year's rice may not make it."

"Wouldn't soybeans make it? It would be painful if it were just soybeans, but I would buy some colors with us."

Not a local lord. Why do you have to go out of your way to rebuild one or two villages?

It's just that Mr. Yamanuchi generally understands my intentions, and he's going to take the initiative. If you don't move here, you'll lose your influence again. Yamanuchi is serious too.

"Ketty. How's it going?

"We're all weak. I also have food poisoning at times, so I need treatment. And the remains of the wild sun must be buried."

"Is it a carcass?

"It will be under the plague. Especially dangerous for the coming season. Bury me."

"Ha, I'll arrange it right away"

I knew the situation beforehand. I brought in the Takikawa family women as Ketty and her assistant, but they're not very good.

There are still bodies on the battlefield site that have been stripped of clothes and weapons and abandoned. The locals aren't going to clean it up.

Mr. Yamanuchi is very busy. By the way, we can only ask the Ise Guardian. It's the Oda clan, and it shouldn't be clear until the right to order.

However, since I delivered Shin Soo's letter to Shin An, maybe my request is close to Shin Soo's order.

"I didn't think you'd do anything like this."

"We've been doing this in Sanhe and Mino territories since last year. At the very least, if you feed them, the territory will stabilize."

Mr. Yamanuchi is still excellent. By borrowing grain of military food from neighboring earthlings, we were able to cook it out in a matter of hours.

All of the samurai to Elle and Ketty, cooking and feeding them a rice cooker. Meanwhile, local village monks provide for the burial of wild-exposed bodies with people from neighboring earthlings.

Mr. Yamanuchi wants it from us. But I guess I can't. Iwakura is going to lean when Mr. Yamanuchi is gone.

"Is that where the Great Hall is called Buddha?"

"I'm looking for and buying cheap food from within countries. We're making money."

Mr. Yamanuchi is fine, but he thinks that if you owe him poorly, he'll be scared of the rest, and some earthlings will deny this way.

They even had people like that in Migawa and Mino. Even though I have bowed my head, understanding that this is going to be a big deal as it is, especially if there is a clear difference in the lives of the inhabitants of the territories around me and the inhabitants of my own.

It's tough to have a lot of really independent people.

side: Hope Moon Chiyodai

The Kuyuan family is really weird. I didn't know you were supposed to lead a cautious life as a hostage, but you'd be the feather of working like a younger daughter.

But I can't complain. Because even the lords and guests work at Kuyuan's house. The cleaning is also attended by the lords and the guests themselves. I wish I could leave it to you because there are people here.

Just Loc is fine. I'm not the only samurai I've brought out. I even get locks. And Kuyuan's house doesn't eat normally.

I'll say it again because it's important. Meals are not normal!!

Even at home in Koga, you can eat fish every day at Kuyuan's, even though you can only eat them on festive days such as fish!

And three meals a day. We eat brown rice in the morning, we cook with wheat and buckwheat powder by day, what white rice we can eat every day at night!!

I baked fish miso marinade last night, but I've never known it would go so well with rice. I thought you were a bad cook because you're a hostage. That's Kuyuan's house with a Nanban ship.

From what I've heard, do you think Kuyuan uses sugar in their daily dishes? Even though it was expensive and never even spoken of by me.

"Princess! Princess! I got you today's treat!

"This is... what is it?

"Er. You think it's a sweet treat you call a calamari? Anything at all, it's a confection of Nanban Itchy."

Is it confectionery time at some point? The lady's knife has gotten my share and my share of sweets.

At Kuyuan's house, we eat sweets every day, from the guests to the youngest! Perhaps more amazing treats every day than I heard about the Hexagon house!

"Oh...... Delicious."

"This Ming tea called black tea goes with it!

"It's supposed to be a hostage, but I can't believe you got something so delicious..."

"No one should escape, should they? If we get out of here, we'll go back to tasteless cooking again."

I've never had such a soft, sweet treat. When did you eat confectionery or something in Koga in the first place?

My Hope Moon family is supposed to be a well-known house in Koga. I didn't know you lived poorer than Kuyuan's youngest son...

Don't be afraid, Oda family. Don't be afraid, Kurumiya.

"When will the fathers come? Well, if you don't come, don't come. I'm starting to feel like we could just serve Kuyuan's house like this."

"I'll come. Always. My lord was carefully examining the Kuyuan family."

The work is varied. From commercial work to work like a civilian on the territory where the lord is deputized, to teaching courtesy to those in the house.

Still, I am the daughter of the Koga Hozuki family. I have also seen the hexagonal family's house shape. If you're polite, you're good at it.

Hachiro's wife seems busy with the cover-up of the house, so she seems to be able to entrust the courtesy of the people in the house.

My lord hasn't found much value in the hostages, so I need to make my place in Kuyuan's house so that I don't have to go back to Koga even if my father changes his mind and doesn't come to Ogi anymore.

I don't like being told to go home to Koga. Even if I go home, I'm going to be married to a poor homeland owner.

"Shiatsu. What are your plans after this?

"He wants us to go to the ranch village and teach the orphans how to write"

"Okay. Let's come."

I have to work more than I can do night games to help.

From what I've heard, there are more than a hundred guests in the hall. If you like women so much, I wish you'd make me a concubine too. I'm just sorry I was confident in my appearance.

But you still have a chance, don't you?
