1037 Episode 1,336 - Atsuta Festival, Part 2

Side: Suruga's noble family

The crowd in Owari is as lively as ever. I can see the monk Yukusai's face turning pale again.

I've heard so many stories about how he once captured the previous head of the Shiba family, but recently, I rarely hear about it anymore.

It's a good thing that you can't get away with it, because there are fewer people who seriously believe that they can win easily, unlike before. At the end of last year, the news that they immediately sent more than 10,000 troops to Kita Ise gave it a boost.

If Oda had his way, more than 10,000 troops would attack East Mikawa and Totomi. Of course, there are those who say that they can win in a battle. However, everyone is beginning to think that it is possible for someone else to betray them. It's a good thing that the Mikawa people have no particular obligation to the Imagawa family.

Totomi and Suruga. Not a bad place, but a bit of a bad place to fight against Oda, who had conquered Owari, Mino, Mikawa and Kita Ise. Furthermore, Takeda in Kai will certainly turn against him. Even Hojo of Sagamihara could try to make peace or mediate surrender, but he would not be an ally.

What would they do? Asakura is already working to reconcile with Shiba and Oda. It's not an easy thing to do, but Shiba and Oda are surprisingly not offended by the move. You will find that you will be able to have a good time with them.

It's a good thing that you're able to have a good time with them, because they are very friendly with the Oda family. You can see that the Imagawa family members were puzzled by his appearance.

It is a good thing that you are not in the same boat as the rest of them, because no one of your status has come this year. The only reason for this is to keep a token that they responded to the invitation. But the prosperity of Owari is so great that they are perplexed. It seems to have failed.

The monk Yukusai should have come, but he is the one who is supporting Imagawa. It is difficult for him to come to Owari so often. In addition, it would be difficult for the whole family to have a monk or a nun to come to Owari every year.

Waiting for Oda's disturbance. That would be a good strategy. But the sooner the rebellion is over, the sooner Imagawa is attacked. I'm not sure which one it will be.

Well, I can fulfill my duty by returning to tell you the situation in Owari. The rest can be decided by the people of Imagawa.

Side: Tachibaniya Saburozaemon

"Delicious. It's not just miso, is it?

It is Atsuta's specialty, wrapped soba noodles. Please forgive me for the taste.

I smelled a good smell from the stall and bought one, but I could feel sweetness in the saltiness of the bean paste. It was made by grilling buckwheat noodles into flour and then spreading the miso on it and folding it.

Is this Kuon cuisine too?

That's the original story. But this one was made by a guy from Atsuta who copied it.

What surprised me when I came to Owari is how good the food is. It may be natural that the food served here with Asakura-sama's emissaries is good, but it is still too good.

The people thought the food would be the same as that of Echizen, but it is beyond astonishing that it is even different.

There are several stores selling food on the street, and they are all crowded with customers. It was proof that the people had that much money.

Even in Echizen, there are rich people. But not as many people and as lively.

How much money do you have in this country? It's not easy to say, but the fact that the people have so much money means that Oda has even more.

I have been ordered by Soshichi of the Asakura family to visit Owari as a merchant. Soshisama was concerned. I'm sure that Oda is far more powerful than Asakura. I didn't think it was possible, but my fears may have been correct.

The minatown of Kanie was also a surprise to me. A row of warehouses and many ships. When I heard that the town was built in just a few years, I was scared to think how much money was spent on it.

Merchant, it's delicious. Go ahead and buy it!

The stall we were looking for was guarded by so many people that it was guarded by soldiers. Is this the rumored stall in Kuon? As I approached, a little girl showed me a piece of paper, on which were written items for sale. She showed me a piece of paper, on which were written the items for sale.

It said, "Wow, it's cheap.

I can't buy a lot by myself, but it's good.

The girl is wearing a very nice kimono. I'm not sure if she's a member of the Kuon family. It is said that when you look at the servants and maidservants, you can understand the situation of the family. It's a good idea to have a good-looking guy with a shabby servant, but if the servant is shabby, his family's financial situation will be negligible.

There's a lot of stuff I don't know.

I know. If you have a sweet tooth, this one and this one. If you have a sweet tooth, this one and this one are really good. But you know, grown-ups also like this one and this one for golden brown.

As we talked, I found out that my daughter had eaten before. I've heard that they don't allow her to drink alcohol when it's too early, but she has eaten all the sweets and dishes. You can't make a girl like this eat sweets?

Well, that's a freebie.

"Thank you!

Yes, I know you are well-instructed. You have taught me exactly what I want to hear. And when I gave you a small amount of money for your wages, you thanked me properly.

There are rumors that the clan is of dubious origin from the southern barbarians, but I think we should change our minds. You are better than those samurai.

I ordered the food and sweets as recommended by the girl. I asked for the food and sweets that the girl recommended. It's called Yakisoba. It is said to be made of grilled noodles with a secret sauce that is not to be found anywhere else.

What is this?　I have no idea what it tastes like. What could be used to make it taste like this?　Is the wild greens in the sauce that is moderately tangled in the thin noodles?　The meat and what's in it give it a nice flavor.

Oh, it's so good. I'm sure the serving servants are devouring it as well.

It's a shame that you are feeding this kind of food to your people: ....... Are you just a drunkard?　No, to show that you have that much power?　Anyway, this is not a person to be underestimated.

The sweets are called yokan. It seems to be the favorite of the girl I mentioned earlier.

...... What is this candy?　What kind of poor people would eat such a sweet pastry?　The azuki beans are also very sweet and indescribable.

I've never seen a place as rich as this one. It must be much richer than Echizen. Is this the power of the business of Kuon?　No, the cargoes of the Ming and Ezo also go into Echizen, if not in numbers. It is hard to believe that there will be such a difference.

So much power and strength in battle?　I don't think we can make enemies. Kaga's one-sidedness is also frightening, but they are just a bunch of people. They are like beasts that are starved of poverty.

It's delicious!

"Yeah, thanks to Kuon-sama.

Suddenly, I heard the conversation of the men eating next to me. A cold sensation ran down your spine.

It seemed that the people gathered here felt indebted to Kudo and Oda and would fight to the death if it came to war. Oda could gather more than 10,000 troops at any time if he felt like it. I thought I understood why.

It's not good. He wondered if he couldn't meet with Kyuon-sama and do business with him. It would be a shame to go home empty-handed like this.

It's just a matter of time before you go back to your house. I'll ask him for a few things.

I'm not going to say no to you if you say you'll be able to thank the Magara family as well.
