"Dear Sun Sanro. Shall we take a break?

"Hmm. Right."

From somewhere, the voice of the cicada "Semi" was heard, and the sound of the wind chimes made him aware of the coolness.

Compared to the original world, Shinko is sweating on his forehead because he's in armor on a hot summer day.

Actually, Shinguang, who saw Shin-soo's portrait, pushed me to want it too. Coming to us instead of calling me to Defensive Mountain Castle is probably a consideration that the painter is a woman Mertie.

I don't want to think you came here wanting lunch. I was replacing the chilled udon for lunch today.

"It's not just Ming across the ocean."

I also gave Shinko a break because it would be snack time with the barley tea and water lamb Mizukan, but Shinko still gave him an emotional look when he saw the painting in the draft stage.

People in this era often only know Ming and Korea what it is overseas, and Nanban means barbarians coming from the south.

South Barbarians. The so-called Europeans are never overrated, and as they see Japan as an undisclosed land, this one also sees South Barbarians as barbarians.

Well, I guess Oozen makes a lot of different impressions.

"Well, yeah"

"Painting on gold cannon and liquor. Don't look down on me."

Shinko admits to Nanban, but he's also on alert. Naturally, but I'm relieved you're not a simple person, like looking at the Els and easily believing or deciding they're enemies.

Well, the southern barbarians we hold are displaced people from the far west. I guess there's some sympathy for the people who were chased home.

"I believe. Because if God is different, then history is different. It's a nasty opponent."

"Hmm. Aren't you a Buddha or an eight-million" hello "god?

"Yeah. I'm not that familiar with them either, but it seems their God is completely different from the God of this country. There is only one of their gods and they do not seem to recognize any other Buddha or eight million gods"

The Nanban of this era may be the kind of feeling that the humans of the original world see aliens and otherworlds.

I was surprised to talk a little bit about Christianity at the end of the story. Because it's a time when God and Buddha are believed. The image wouldn't be good to hear when you deny Buddha or eight million gods in a completely different god from that.

"Unbelievable."

"They're dangerous people. Because they are more authoritative than Nanban lords and kings and sometimes order crusades by force without acknowledging those who believe in different gods. In Japanese scripture, they're just like the ones who always do."

In fact, Christianity in this era is dangerous, isn't it?

In historical fact, Mr. Nobunaga recognized Christianity, but one way or another, it seems like a countermeasure to the Buddhist forces he likes. Nobunaga himself didn't believe in Catholicism, did he?

It's just a scary story because, in the end, Hideyoshi's deportation of Bateren does not eliminate the danger, and some followers will remain until Meiji even when the edict is issued in the Edo period.

Missionaries have always been like the crowd, I guess I've just said things that are convenient.

Besides, I don't know about European history. Maybe I even had a fantasy.

Anyway, I need you to know the dangers of the South Barbarians and missionaries from the familiar Oda family. Blah, blah, blah. You'll understand if I tell you I'm repeating corruption and strife, just like Buddhism.

No, Shinko is someone who, if he lives long enough, is likely to influence history plainly.

There was also Nobunaga's theory of assassination on the cause of Nobunaga's death that it was a historical fact, but I wonder. I also find that difficult to think about in the circumstances of Nobunaga at the time.

There seems to be one or two ambitions, but if I were to say that, it would be harder to find a samurai with no ambitions.

I'm not very good at home affairs, but I'm not so abusive as to say I should rule by force. I hear you're imitating Shinsu's ways to the minister, and you're not an insult.

The calendar of this era is a lunar calendar, so I'm still not used to it.

In the middle of June of the lunar calendar, there is the Tsushima Tenno Festival. If it's a new calendar, it's about the end of July. It's Ozhang's summer festival.

He also intends to attend the Tsushima festival following the festival in Hota.

Yes. when it comes to summer festivals, it's fireworks!!

The history of fireworks in Japan is unclear. What is certain in history is that Jiayang was given fireworks in Sunfu in the early Edo period?

"El. How much fireworks did you prepare?

"We've got 500 rounds for you."

"Less?

"Because gunpowder is expensive, it's more than that."

I hear what Jiayang saw wasn't a launch fireworks, and it's going to be a lot ahead of history. Fireworks are scheduled to be launched at the Tsushima Tenno Festival.

Although brightly colored fireworks like the original world weigh heavily on boulders.

The surface shall be made into a service fireworks by the Oda family. It's a little too conspicuous for us to do it alone. I'm going to do what my lord ordered me to do because it's going to be in history.

My lord laughed at me if I was going to do something again. They say you can do whatever you want. Looks like he's looking forward to seeing his real wife, Mr. Tsuchida and Mr. Yokomura, with the kids.

"I want to spread the fireworks, but you don't seem to be able to do it until the end of the Warring States era"

"You can't. Fireworks technology can also be applied in battle, so we won't let it leak to the outside world for the moment"

"Oh, yeah."

"Although it's not surprisingly cost-effective. Considering the power of the Oda family internally and externally, it would be far more effective than the horse assortment in the capital of Kyo."

Looking at the estimated costs from the market for gunpowder, I'm just surprised. Of course, the fireworks themselves are actually cheap because they've been made and carried in space.

Is it impossible to spread the word? It's a shame.

"Is it too conspicuous? Are you okay?"

"Now it is. It's time to be vigilant from all sides, and the forces in Kichi will be watching. It would be a great time to show force and financial strength."

Nothing. I don't have to make a diplomatic point about fireworks. Don't just honestly enjoy it, it's a tough part of the Warring States era.

Even in the country, there was a fireworks show once a year.

"What's that? incense fireworks. Isn't that okay?

"Right. It can't be cheap, but a merchant might buy it."

Shall I surprise you with the launch fireworks and sell the incense fireworks?

It's going to be imitated because it's easy to work with, but I guess if it's about incense fireworks, I don't mind finding out how it works.

Finally, if you give everyone in the Oda family incense fireworks as a summer gift, they will know how good the fireworks are.

Yeah, speaking of summer, I don't even sell mosquito strains, but I'm checking the distribution reaction all over the house.

This one has a good reputation. In this day and age there is a lot of nature everywhere, and without air conditioning there is no air tightness in the house.

There's something like a mosquito net that's been around for a long time, so we use it.

Mosquito incense similarities are actually present in this era. It's called "Kaya" and "Bibi", which is also said to have been around since the peacetime in ancient times, and they smoke it with smoke to get rid of mosquitoes.

However, the main ingredient of mosquito repellent incense is not found in Japan in this era, so the effect is that mosquito repellent incense is better.

Besides, there's less smoke and it lasts longer, so this one is better.

I'm not thinking about making that much money, though. I want to spread the mosquito extraction incense. Mosquito-mediated diseases like Japanese encephalitis are also present in these days.

In the future, I also want to do this domestically, from the production of deworming chrysanthemums to the manufacture of mosquito extraction incense. Mosquito incense would be a must if we were to enter the Southern Ocean Islands or that way.

There's a risk of malaria if the mosquito bites you over there.

We need to get everything we need, little by little.
