The Space Fortress That Came to the Sengoku Era

SIDE: Unnamed Sakaki Weak Merchant

What a big place and town. Are you sure this place wasn't even a village until a few years ago? Black Nambarian ships and many ships have landed to unload their cargo.

Otomoto, who stopped by on the way, flourished, but it's amazing here too. Aren't houses built everywhere in town?

"No. No, I can't sell it to a Sakami merchant. Just go home."

Of course I bought the reason I even came to Tai Zhang. I can't have the gold liquor, but I want the nitrous stones and the silk, but I see the suspicious everywhere, and I pay up front.

They hate Sakami more than rumors. Why is that?

"Well, I've come a long way. I'll tell you about it, but if you resent it, resent the merchant over there who makes fake Oda bills and fake gold liquor. If you see Sakaki's merchant, think he's here to fool you."

After going around a few merchants, someone finally listened to me.

I heard about the relationship between Oda and Sakami before leaving Sakami. He also told me that if I can't, I should go to Surugawa, which is hostile to Oda, but I might really have to go to Surugawa.

"I've never cheated on anyone."

"Maybe so. But who's gonna prove you are? Well, I guess I can't go home with my bare hands. If you're really in trouble, you can go to Uji or Yamada in Ise. I can't have nitrous stones, but they'll sell about silk. I can't do it here. Kuyuan hates being unfaithful. I'm not dealing with Sakami merchants."

I guess people are good. Even though I did not offer any particular money, this merchant gave me the reason for the cold attitude of the merchants here in Krabby River.

He hardly ever comes to Ozhang to name a Sakai merchant in the first place. Do you think that the merchants of Sakai will deceive the names of merchants in the West and far afield and try to do business?

They're missing out on a decent deal for a small amount. Seems to find out with words.

"It was terrible before Kuyuan arrived. Sakai. We don't sell unless it's a word, and we donate the bad money we made ourselves. You're the one who eliminated the merchants you didn't like in the first place, right?

That's right. Sakaki bought it off the eastern merchants in a rather transgressive manner. Buy and beat in a bundle of three sentences and sell for a high price. Well, not just Sakami, but everywhere.

In the end, you mean Ozhang's merchant stood on top of Sakami? At least I didn't hear you had trouble making a deal with Sakami.

"Can I see Master Kuyuan?

"You're forced to decide. Kuyuan is Yoko, the great lord of Oda. But if you're a collector in your house, you can meet me with a letter of introduction. The Tatsuya was a congregation of Tatsuya. Give me a handover or a letter of introduction."

I can't. I wouldn't be here if I had a handout like that.

No, I'm here because of you. Do you want to walk a little further and buy at Ise and go home?

Krabby River's cage smelled like a freshly made tree.

"Welcome. On your night?

"Oh, one night, please"

"There are private and large rooms. You can also choose meals and alcohol."

What surprised me is that they have a lot of options for the travel cages here. For the most part, I can stay overnight and have dinner, but I'm glad to have a room and a choice of rice or booze.

That's not all that surprised me. I hear this Krabby River has a hot spring. Unfortunately, the inn doesn't seem to have a hot spring, but there is a hot tub nearby.

Because of this, why don't you make it a private room with the offering and make it a good meal? They can drink gold liquor for everything. He says he won't sell it to the merchant, but if he just drinks it here, he will sell it to anyone. And cheap.

Yes. Do you want to go to the hot springs before dinner?

"Whoa, this is good water"

The hot springs are crowded because of the cold weather. They range from travelers to locals. The fatigue of the journey seems to blow.

And I and my servants grew hot water in the hot springs, which were rarely allowed in.

Walk a little through town to cool off your flaming body. There are a lot of playhouses and restaurants in the neighborhood. If you have money, come on. It'll be fun.

When I went back to the cage, I caught myself wanting to go in, and it was the moment of the meal.

"Whoa, this is huge."

They can eat the rice slowly in a private room. The more pot you two cook together, the better.

There are also fish. It's still nice to have the sea close by.

"Huh, is this... a dough?

"Oh, that's powdered wheat and worked it out. The Water Regiment and I call it here."

Don't resemble dough. According to the story of those in the cage, it is popular in Ozhang to powder wheat, soba, etc.

Hmm. It's delicious with miso juice tangled in a mochi white water basin.

It's not like Kinai's water trout, but it's really delicious. Fish should also be salted and reduced.

Come on, it's the gold liquor you're looking for.

"Again, this is completely different from Sakami's."

I have drunk liquor from Sakana-san, which I have sold as a Nanban gold liquor. Not at all.

You don't have any extra clutter. Not even sweet. What the hell kind of booze is that?

It costs a lot, but if you want to eat the same thing with Sakai, it might even be ten times enough.

In Sakami, we still look down on the countryside as being below the congregation, Ozhang, etc. Are you sure you want me to stay like this?

Aren't you going to be replaced by Ogi as it is?

Well, I don't care what happens to Sakami. It's none of my business. All I'm saying is, if I blow it, I'm a flighty merchant.

Yeah, I like it here. Drinks, rice and hot springs are delicious. After this, I was going to go to Qingzhou and Nagorno, but should I stop by again before I leave?

Side: a long time ago

"You've decided not to use the guards in battle under the direct authority of the Oda family, so we're running out of soldiers."

While brushing Robo and Blanca on this day, I was discussing urgent issues with Elle, Ceres and Shiqing.

Using the guards as specialized units for policing makes it impossible for us to keep them and use them, like when we were in Mitsugawa.

Originally the guards belonged to the Oda family, while they were soldiers managed and used by us. I moved completely to the Oda family because there are no longer any problems, but then there will be not enough soldiers to use in the war.

Especially when it comes to troop leaders and in this day and age, there won't be enough foot generals or people directly commanding general soldiers.

"I think basic training is good in common with guards. We should also train our martial arts officers with the Oda guards."

"Right. It just takes time to develop recruits. Even as things stand, there are people who have been relocated from guards to health guards and civilians, so I was wondering if we could pull some out at home."

Do you think Elle should step down to training martial arts officers from now on? The guards are still short of people. Can I raise them together and allocate them later from hope and aptitude?

It's just that Ceres is of the opinion that we should pull some out now. I don't think there will be any battles for the time being, but I don't know what will happen. Should I pull it out sooner?

"We can even get people out of the sneakers. If some people are not good at it and are unsuitable for activities in other countries…"

Having heard those two opinions, Shiqing has advanced the repositioning from the Ninja crowd.

Sure, because the sneakers have grown in numbers. The handlers Ursa and Hilza pulled away, but is there anyone still available for use in the war?

Some people have difficulty using the sneak they are confident in their arms, especially since we keep intelligence operations from causing problems in a very large way.

"Do we recruit applicants from all over the house first? I don't care about blood relatives or anything. I'm not dealing with confidentiality in particular. You can do something with instruction, can't you?

"Yes, I'll make it available"

Shall we gather it around the house first before we pull it out of the other place? Our ministers and sneakers are also bumping up. Besides, some ancient ginseng ministers and ninjas rely on relatives to take care of them.

Martial officers don't treat people more confidential than the sneaky crowd, so you don't have to scrutinize personnel that strictly.

I'll leave the nurturing to Ceres. Let's get Suzu and Cherry to help too.

Those two make a scene, but I'm pretty sure they're good.

There's Ceres, and he'll probably be fine.
