218 Episode 217: A Journey to the Great Sea Plains

side: Kuyuan Yima

Day two after a night in Otsuma. The ship finally proceeds to the Great Sea Plains. There's a pretty good wave going offshore.

To ride the black tide flowing from south to north through the western Pacific region, you need to go offshore than the tidal cape of Kishu.

"Dear Sun Sanro. Are you all right, sir?

"It's so comfortable with this degree of shaking!

I knew someone was seasick today, but Shinko is twice as healthy. I'm just getting a reluctance to climb the mast today.

I explained at dinner yesterday that it was dangerous for amateurs to touch masts and sailboat roundabouts as a common sense of a sailboat unlike a sailboat. Fortunately, Mr. George agreed, and he told me yesterday he climbed as an exercise because the waves are calm inland waters.

It's just that Shinko seems to like the ocean, and today he looks out at the ocean on deck until he wears his life line.

"I used to go to Tsushima and Hotfields and watch the boat a lot. When I was a kid, I wanted to be head of the Navy."

"Did you?"

"Oda was also small back then... I never thought the Oda Bullet Chung family would be able to unify Ozhang. If you tell your father you want to be head of the Navy, he'll laugh at you."

All you can see is the sea and sky on all sides. Shinko seems to have fun even though some people seem anxious to not see the land.

Shinko told BGM the old story about the sound of the ship and the waves colliding. It's precious because it's still the story of my predecessor, Nobusa, when he was alive. I think it's a story that probably won't be in history.

"If Father had seen the bustle of Tsushima, Hota, and Ozhang, he would have been delighted."

That's right. It was Nobunaga's grandfather, Nobunaga's Nobunaga, who laid the foundation for Oda. There is now because Shinsu raised it. From Shinko, who knows the hard work, I guess there's something emotional about going to Kanto on behalf of Oozhong this way.

"Exactly. Everyone from Kurumiya is doing well."

As it was, Shinko and I broke up silently looking at the sea, and when we got back in the boat, Shinko was playing cards again over here. I'm sure some of them are free. Some of them seem to enjoy the rush or something.

Others are painted by Melty with a pencil, and Mr. Phantom and Kyung Ching are painting together as they are taught next door.

You're curious, aren't you? Both Mirage Inn and Celebration. Is the subject matter Nobunaga who plays cards? Painting is good, but please, don't leave it to future generations.

And then Ketty's reading a book, and Elle's knitting for the winter. It's cold in winter, too. Elle started knitting to hand out mufflers to everyone.

"The waves are still calm today."

By the way, on the ship, I use lanterns or canteras or oil lighting. There's a light window, but it's a ship, so it's not that big, and I figured the cabin would be dark without lighting.

Looks like I made it sturdy to keep it from breaking easily after dropping it. Because it rocks when it's a ship. Fire objects are dangerous. Our ship is fire-resistant coated.

"But I didn't know that land would run by boat through an invisible sea this way...... Nanbans are brave."

"Are you brave? That may indeed be the case. However, the aim is to gain wealth or territory. What you're doing isn't much different from what the Japanese are going to fight for."

Yeah, Mr. George's fine, too. With explanations such as the black tide and winds from the south blowing during this period, I try to learn as an offshore riding internship looking at nautical charts and compasses.

I'm sailing with the Sage Navy ship, but that's going well so far. Saji said he can feel safe saying, "I have our ship as far as I can see."

"The Japanese book still needs a sailor to go out to sea."

"... because Lord Saburo thinks of the Japanese book?

"Did you say globe? If you look at that round earth, you will also think of the Surugawa Temple. There are many countries outside of Japan. Why don't we just get attacked while we're fighting in the inner circle?

"That's certainly a concern. But also from past precedents, if you're a Japanese samurai, don't you lose?

"It's better to win before it's a fight than to win in a fight. That's what Oda learned."

To Saji, who talks about the Nanbans being brave. I speak about the main purpose of the Nanbans, but Nobunaga and Mirage House, who reacted to it, spoke about the Japanese book.

Nobunaga has obviously changed. Winning in battle is better than the ex, how to win before it becomes a battle. So much so that I publicly declare that I am thinking about it.

Nobunaga Oda of Historical Facts should have learned and grown after the death of his father, Lord Shinsu, while struggling and failing. I have spent many years in the evidence of the Tai Zheng unification and Mino merger.

When did Nobunaga Oda of Historical Facts begin to think about the future of Nippon Book?

Mr. Phantom Inn's eyes are serious. I guess I'm trying to identify Nobunaga.

We made it a more reasonable idea than history, didn't we? Perhaps my interest in Shogun and Kiuchi is only diminished for my interest in the sea and overseas.

side: Sailors of the Sage Navy

The sea is all I can see around me. Finally, I can't see the land. I just have to run the ship even looking at maps like Heavenly Road, Compass and nautical charts.

However, white sails look good on black hulls in the ocean. Especially as long as I can see Kuyuan's boat.

The waves are high and the ship rocks, as if it were a stormy day's time, Shigeru, but it still seems calm today. Kurumi and the others were running the boat in this.

The method of manoeuvring the ship is no different from the one we have trained before. Though my head held my head as I looked at the map of the sea. I was told that if I got used to it, I would be fine.

"Hey. Rice."

No, the way you eat meals also seems to change when you go offshore. One of us had dinner first as a poison watcher, and after a while, everyone learned to take turns eating. It's like eating like a tall martial artist.

It was a good lunch that Kuyuan prepared yesterday, but he said we'd do it so that we wouldn't all break our bellies. I'm impressed that you're thinking a lot.

"Do you still have white rice today"

This meal on the road was prepared by Kuyuan. (10) Dried plum and seared fish in a rice cooking dish made with "Want". And there's even vinegar pickles.

Looks like Kuyuan gave me a firebowl that I can safely use on the ship, so I made it.

I was told that long voyages make it difficult to secure water. If it's normal water, it'll rot in days. Kuyuan seems to be using the long-lasting spiritual water separated from the regular water, and we also shared the spiritual water for the return this time.

However, it looks like the water is precious and loaded with gold liquor instead of water. The rice cooking was also made by diluting the salt water of the sea with water, but it also contains dried vegetables and tastes bad. But is water more precious than that golden liquor?

Plum dried from us isn't cheap either. The vinegar pickles are delicious.

"Hey, isn't that minkan candied?

"The day after tomorrow. Besides, you can't afford to pay for that normally. I have to leave a minute to go home."

Well the most surprising thing is the candied minkan that was in the clear pot I first saw.

I didn't know there was such a thing in the world. He hasn't even offered Oda's lord a substitute yet. I had a little bit to try at dinner yesterday, but there were no words for too much sweetness and delicacy.

I know sugar is precious. Even that clear pot would be.

"The waves will be higher tomorrow or so, and they may not even be able to make the rice cooking, so thank you and eat."

They could still make the rice cooking today, but will that be difficult tomorrow? But I do, and I've seen it. There are things like biscuits. Above all, we're just happy to eat.

Recently, Kuyuan's work has allowed us to eat, but our village can't make much rice either. It's a treat just because there's rice.

Even the fish was a big net that Kuyuan gave me, and now I can eat it because I can catch more than I can, but before that, there were some guys who were poor and couldn't even eat fish.

Kuyuan said he wanted us to take care of Hojo's trading ship.

Ships that go far away are served by Kuyuan, but you just can't reach the nearby field? It's amazing because Kanto is nearby.

From now on, maybe we'll carry loads all over the place.
