219 Episode 218: The Night at Sea

"It's a built-in head, Kura no Kami. Oda again?

"Ha. With seasonal greetings"

"I also received good news from Ise's Shrine..."

Silk textiles and white powder "Interesting" were received in liquor and food as seasonal greetings from Oda. I didn't know Oda, who had just brought it with him in the spring, would now only give it away via merchants for loads.

Moreover, the Lord also cares because he says that he has made inbound and rare offerings and offerings to the Shrine of Ise. Because I was very distressed by the current state of the shrine.

The last offering was in addition to the reputation. My lord loved the golden liquor. And even white powder and silk textiles are so precious that they've been lowered to everyone.

Clean white lords don't like donations that appear to have very clear goals, but it would also be genuine to be concerned that they don't know what they're after.

"According to the sentence that arrived in My, it was written to beware of the Nanban boy. You think you've come close to Nippon Book in recent years? They never recognize a Japanese god or a Buddha, and even say that he is not a god if he is not a god he believes in..."

"True?

When I asked the Ming people, they said something similar.

However, from Oda, as always, there is no official examination. I have already told Mitsugawa Shogun, but he is apparently under the patron of the Shogun. Though it may be difficult to say that I am only promoted sooner.

The letter sent in lieu of the greeting said something outside of the Japanese book. There seems to be a rumor behind the dangers of the Nanban boy and that the Nanban country is offering money and troops.

Just in case, I checked with a well-known merchant. The merchant said that there appeared to be similar rumors, even though he did not know them directly, and that he was certain that the merchants of Nanban were both troublesome.

"I didn't know there was such a person..."

"It also seems quite difficult outside the Japanese book"

However, Ming's merchant doesn't seem to recognize it as that dangerous, and he just writes to be careful with Oda's sentence, so maybe there aren't many direct obstacles. Perhaps it's a degree of awareness that it's dangerous to respond without knowing anything.

"Is it true that Oda Mikawa Shoku is rumored to be a Buddha?

"Ha. It seems true. He said he was trying to keep the people from starving. And it seems that when you get sick, you treat them generously."

"... there are such people in the Takeshi family"

Not just the Wujia. Perhaps the likes of Oda are rare today, when even the shogun and temple dawn into battle by force.

I think it's time for a new official position, but the others have been diagnosed by the Takeshi family as wanting an official position, but not from Oda. Since Oda is doing well at present, does it not require so much government?

My lord seems to be thinking a little too. I don't think the Shogun or the public necessarily have the royal will. I feel itchy because I can't do anything at the moment.

Regardless, I don't think Oda is the only one who is particularly good.

But it is obvious that they are not like those who only donate money when they want official positions. Unfortunately, Oda is not very interested in Kichiuchi.

"This time we've also received some golden sugar Nanban confectionery."

"Right. Good for Migawa Oda."

"Ha. I understand."

I can't help but think about something too bad. This time there are also rare items and Nanban treats that are very similar to the glass called vitreous. I wish the Lord's will would rest often.

side: Kuyuan Yima

We were having our first night at sea. The ocean at night looks dark and pitch-black and creepy. "There's a hell of a word under one of the boards," but I realize that at night.

In fact, there's an unmanned submarine right down the sea, so it'll help in case the ship sinks.

"Look closely at the stars. Don't know where they are."

"That star. That's the standard star. It's a star that's always north and serves as a reference point."

"Well, but with all the stars, how can you tell?

"People have been applying different shapes to stars for a long time, and they've seen them. I hear you've been seeing and making stars for a long time in Nanban and neighboring continents, too. We have knowledge of the stars of Ming and Nanban."

Mr. George has been given field instruction in astronomical forecasting by Elle. It's still close to land. It doesn't matter that much about astronomy, but I'll bring it to practice.

Nobunaga and Mirage Inn also wanted to know about the weather forecast, so let me briefly explain it to you. If it's about the North Star and the North Seven, I can tell right away.

Something like this reminds me of a star observation in elementary school. I miss you.

"In the sea with nothing around you, do we have to look at the stars and know where they are"

"Well, I don't need to worry about that much around here. If you go west or north, there's land."

Mind your position, Mirage Inn. The ladies don't really question it. Maybe he thinks it's a secret from another house. However, I wouldn't mind if they knew otherwise if it was about pompous astronomical knowledge and sailing techniques.

You cannot ride offshore without nautical charts with depths of water and other written knowledge of tides and wind flows. It would be quite difficult to build a ship from scratch, too.

Except for the sailor on duty, who stays up late at night, the trouble can be room splitting. Nobunaga, Nobunaga, and Shinan had me enter a private room, and the same goes for Fantasy Inn.

And the women also assign a spacious room to the Els and the samurai.

Our Nambarian ships have more private rooms than the real ones because some watertight bulkheads were not found on the real Nambarian ships of this era. I'm usually in the luggage room.

By the way, it seems that the watertight bulkhead is already in Ming's junk ships in this era. It's really amazing what China is in this era, isn't it?

"Don't hesitate, even with your wives, no one will complain."

"Thank you. It's just that Mr. Hirakami is with us."

Mr. Jitsu has declined from the private room, and I will sleep with Mr. Jitsu, Mr. Kesei and other young people in a miscellaneous fishbed.

Everyone tells me I can be with the Els, though. I'm the only one in the private room because Mr. Jitsu is going to be sleeping in a miscellaneous fish.

Besides, there are thousands of ladies and samurai. I can't calm down with care. However, it's generally because a samurai or something is a concubine candidate if you are a martial artist.

Because I'm seen externally by women, so are the Chiyodas by their concubines. Especially when you're in the Chiyoma class, you have a family personality and you have a high status with us, so it seems hard to say no because of the friendship from other houses. I have somewhat smelled the concubine's position before and said no.

I don't even know the details because I left it to Mr. Hozuki and Elle around here. In the first place, it seems that samurai are generally under the control of our wives.

Julia and Melty don't want to manage people. Ketty and Ceres are each refraining from managing anything but hospitals and military relations. Thousands of girls need to find someone to marry. It's hard to manage.

Go to bed listening to the rocking ship and the sound of the waves.

... I wonder who. There are people with great Ibiki.

I've never slept with a fish on this ship before, have I? I wonder if I can sleep.
