172 Episode 171 - Japan's First Fireworks

side: Ohashi Mansion on Kuyuan Ichima Tsushima

"You seem like a tough guy to be caught off guard. But what's wrong with him is that he's embarrassed."

When the tea party was over and Mizo left, Shin-soo was in a good mood for a cup of tea.

There was no conversation, but we should have known what we wanted to know.

"Are you indulgent?

"This should be a good time for him. It would be a disadvantage to come to Oozheng without being able to enjoy it there. You seem to like assassinating me. The only thing I can't stand is a flaw."

Shin-soo, while appreciating the brightness of Way Three's foresight, ran out of frustration. It does seem a little frustrating when you ask me.

"Assassination is a bad idea. Not to mention using it more often. Who will believe in those who assassinate? Whatever your position, there are times when you have to be patient."

When Ohashi asked what it meant to be frugal, Shinsu said something about the shortcomings of Way Three.

You may indeed be right when it comes to assassinations. It would be fatal to be known to our neighbours in this age.

The words weigh only on Shin-soo, who until recently coexisted with the Yamato guardian.

"Whether he is strong in battle or good in politics, he knows what he can do alone. There's no problem in alliance with him. I can't be a threat to Oda."

I was thrilled with Shinsu's words. I'm surprised by words that are like telling the historical truth.

Those who know so much about history will understand the awesomeness and strength of Way Three. But Dozo died after being fought by his son Yoshiryu.

What I came to understand in this day and age is that the existence of the great name has no absolute power to imagine in general in the original world.

Probably from the image of the Oda family of historical facts, but maybe that was only if there was a charisma called Nobunaga.

I fear and obey the strength of Dozo, but when those who genuinely stand up to Dozo like Yoshiryu show up, they are surprisingly clammy and defeated.

Mi-no doesn't get wrapped up in Dozo. At least not the way it's been. That's how Shinsu sees it.

"One horse. El. Then did you see the potato?

"Hmm. What do you want to do next? The Yamagata guardian. Mi-no, what's next? The man with the hand doesn't feel like the whole house will be wrapped up if he doesn't make enemies outside."

As it was, Shinsu asked me and Elle for their opinions, but I don't understand one thing right now about what Dozo wants for her.

Are you satisfied with the country's great name, Mino? Or......

"You will not be able to be alarmed, as your lord said. But maybe that's why Master Yamashiro went in to protect him. But Master Yamashiro has hitherto attacked without choosing any means. If we're going to go into protection, can we fulfill it and do it the way we've always done?

I guess the way Elle looks at it is a little dry.

Dozo has a vision, but he may therefore be suggesting the possibility of entering into protection and ending up like a historical fact.

It's like you rule with power and fear. In the case of road three.

Maybe if you suck, you're too good yourself and you look stupid around you.

"Hmm. Shall we take a look? Oda is more than enough for a few years."

Dozo's rating is still high, but is she also pregnant with the risk of frontal integration?

Shinsu seems to be able to afford it and can afford to enjoy what Dozo will do.

By sundown, this day's festival will finally be a climax.

There are many martial arts houses, monks and inhabitants gathered by the river, and the guardian Swoba system, Mr. Shiba Okuma and the Oda clan are in first-class formation.

A lot of people will be feeling drunk in the evening because they are cheap ales in our stalls but handing out behavioral booze.

"Hey. What starts?

"Awesome is coming!

We watch with our ministers and their families and the ranchers and the orphanage children. It will be quite a crowd so I'm sitting around, but it's a pretty good place to look forward to.

As a matter of course, many people from Koga have never even seen Ozhang. I guess I couldn't afford to come all the way to Tsushima until now with all my energy to live my days.

I came with a grip of rice and lunch, so everyone is eating it and waiting for the festival to start now or now.

"Wow..."

"What is that..."

When the straw boat floating on the water was lit, the children shouted in surprise. The more than five hundred lanterns already floating in the dark and western skies were rolling around.

It would be a stunning sight in this era with no artificial lights.

Honestly, I can't say enough words to surprise you either. The straw boat with a mountain bike on the river boat is amazing with lanterns embellished in a semi-circular shape as if it were a mushroom umbrella.

"What do you say? It would be amazing."

"Yeah! Awesome!

"I've never seen anything like it!

Nobunaga is also present in our seat, and Nobunaga proudly explains Tsushima Tenno Festival while surrounded by orphanage children.

What do you care about kids? Nobunaga.

"It's about time."

When the straw boat slowly starts to move, it's finally time for fireworks.

What does everyone look like?

Shin-soo has informed me in advance that he will be offering fireworks around the venue, and odd signs have been put up to avoid surprise.

Though it would seem more interesting to keep it a secret and surprise you.

Mixed with the tones of whistles and drums that add color to the lights that colored the straw boat, there was the sound of a fireworks launch called 'Hugh'.

How many people have noticed the slightest light climbing into the sky?

Launched high into the night sky, the light blooms once and for all as a round fireworks with a red light color.

And the sound shook the atmosphere with 'Dawn' in a way that was only momentarily delayed.

At that moment, the whistle and drum tones stopped and the spectators quieted down. It's like time has stopped. It was such a moment.

What set it in motion was the second fireworks launched in a quiet retreat.

"...... fuhahahahaha!!

"Beautiful..."

"Is God here?

It was Nobunaga who laughed heavily at the fireworks that blossomed out in an instant.

Kids start making noise so that Nobunaga's laughter catches them, and it instantly spreads around.

Some of them mistakenly thought it was a move by God or Buddha, but when they realized that was the service fireworks heralded by Shinsu, the whistle and drum tones of the straw boat resumed.

"Kazu! This is it! This is what I asked for!

"Young lady?"

It looked like people were being drunk by the fireworks rising into the night sky from next to next and the view of the rolling straw boat coloring the surface of the water.

It's probably Nobunaga who's most happy and excited.

"Kazu! We're gonna spread this to all of the Japanese books!

"Yeah, let's spread the word."

What did Nobunaga see before the fireworks?

Spread the fireworks on all the Japanese books. That's not as easy as it sounds.

I just sincerely think it would be nice to see the martial family, the monks and the inhabitants having fun together, launching fireworks.

Just for a moment. I want everyone to forget all their worries and just have fun.

Then I think it's worth it for us to be here.

Tsushima Tenno Festival Fireworks Games

Shinsu Oda launched his first fireworks in Japan in Astronomy 17, a historic fireworks competition that began.

Although the history of the incident is theoretical, it was the first fireworks in Japan that the Kuyuan family, which had been good at handling firecrackers and gold cannons (bronze cannons) since that time, launched fireworks using their gunpowder technology.

Similar objects already appeared to be in some parts of Ming and Europe, but the launch fireworks were undoubtedly the world's most advanced technology of the time and are seen as a testament to the fact that the Kuyuan family already had access to the world's most advanced technology.

Testimony also remained that it was visible from a remote village, and some of it seemed to have become noisy when a natural mutation or Buddha appeared.

But everyone is fascinated by its beauty, and the rumors of fireworks will spread throughout the country by the merchants who were visiting Tsushima.

As a result, it also seemed to spread new rumors that Buddha Shin-soo used his powers and that Shin-soo was really the rebirth of Buddha.

It was also told that the young Nobunaga Oda had tried to spread fireworks on all of the Nippon books, and was also famous as an event that would imply Nobunaga and a horse ahead.

Even today, at the Tsushima Tianwang Festival Fireworks Games, the first shot begins with a simple fireworks reproduced from the materials of the time and conveys the romance of history to the people.
