Chapter 6: Azai’s Bravest Generals
The Odani castle of the Azai family was one of the best fortresses ever built in the Odani oku era The mountain castle that fell as result of the fierce attack by the Oda fa the Atsuji family which were relatives of the Azai family was said to be the most advanced castle that they were able to build at the time
Even though it was claimed to be so advanced, it had one major flaw; it is cold Not just cold but to the extent that it is unusual Also, as the result of it being located in the h concentration of hu space of the castle could even be called gloomy
Incidentally, the Odani castle was dismantled by Toyotoa The ahame castle construction that became his residence
There are various theories as to why Hideyoshi+ dis to some, it is said that Hideyoshi+, who loved Himeji, wanted to dismantle the Odani castle because he didn’t want to live in the place where she and nobunaga spent their honeymoon days
As long as I am here, I will definitely not let the Azai family be destroyed; there is no way that the Odani castle will be dismantled It shouldn’t be I don’t want it to be
‘And yet, I would like to do so environment…’
As for the coldness in the natural sense, it can’t be helped anyoku era is quite different from the one in my previous life In the Azai family, there were only futons that consisted of 3 cloths ether and laid out on top of the tatami
Also, things such as blankets didn’t exist, the coat of the thick kimono that Oichi wears is used as the coverlet Only at times like this, do I miss the bed of the welfare facility where I used to live E Oichi on a soft bed or futon sure sounds wonderful…
‘I have decided, first let’s change the things involving my everyday necessities’
And not just for people inside the Azai family… I want to share these benefits with all the people inside the Azai territory
Silk and cotton are necessary in order to build bedding However, in this era cotton could basically only be iion and in its surroundings did they cultivate silk in japan during the Sengoku period But the productivity was extrehout the entire country Therefore they were basically relying on China
It is needless to say that silkwor materials in japan’s elerown as part of free studies in the summer break The fiber that can be taken from the cocoon of these insects is elastic and beautiful; it is a well-known fact that when the Meiji government of japan published the fukoku Kyohei1 the silk had becon currency
I see the sky through the transoh it’s still dark, it started to brighten little by little I believe it is roughly 4 o’clock in the ? In contrast with the severe coldness of the outdoor air, I take my arm away from Oichi’s warm body; I carefully leave the futon so as not to wake her up
When I look a
t her face, she has a very calht she stroked my penis with her hands for the first time, held it in her er any traces of that obscene look she had when she spread my semen on her breast
After that, I gave a kiss to Oichi as co done that, she iht be better to report that the war continued in a second and third round after seeing her cuteness and innocence co from the heart
While rubbing and raising her breasts that became slimy with seina, and french kissed her numerous tiain and by the end of the third round, she completely collapsed
Even though she was tired, she never closed her eyes before uess it was by sheer willpower as one would expect froa’s little sister
I changed ed e in the earlyIn order to finish that I couldn’t wait for Oichi to wake up Because the schedule made by Sukechika for the individual intervieith the vassals starts today
I left the roo face of my beloved wife Then I noticed Oichi’sback so not to interrupt us? They kept waiting in this cold hallway of the mountain’s castle for me to leave I felt responsible for the maidens that left their hometown; I couldn’t help but admire the Oda women who came to the Odani castle
‘I wonder if there is some way to reward their devotion’
I thought about that while they send me off
When I returned to the rooe cleaned and dressed by thethat ht red, and one of theeyes
Ahh, I see Isn’t this the ‘catching the heroine changing clothes’ scene that is coht novels?!
I don’t quite understand It’s not like Oichi’s skin is exposed and they should be finished dressing her after adding a few more layers of clothes As a man, I can’t say that it’s a particularly happy occasion
Iof the clothes quickly” and leaned on the pillar of the room’s entrance They understood that I had no intention of leaving and increased the speed of dressing her Speaking of Oichi, she was staring at me with a heated look on her face thatlove It seems that it will take me sooku period
“Say, Naga…?”
Oichi, whose clothes changing continued to be ogled, asksashamed I showed a wrapped up cloth as an answer to her question after walking to the middle of the room
“What could this be?”
“It’s a crepe”
I show her how to roll the circular dough that is still slightly waroal is to prepare the souvenirs for thethe interview today For that I sneaked into the kitchen in the early , I borrowed rice flour, chicken eggs and also soar without permission and baked them
Of course, a frying pan doesn’t exist in japan yet, so I had to use a pot for the food preparation That is why the forular, and since there was no wheat flour, I had no choice but to use rice flour as a substitute
There is no doubt that this is a crepe nonetheless By the way, japan has only recently started trading estern Europe so crepes shouldn’t have been introduced yet, Oichi is also blinking with surprise as if she was seeing it for the first ti with a curious look from the corner of the room
‘The west…no,western Europe’
“This is a sweet that people in western Europe eat”
“This…?”
Oichi looks at the crepe closely while letting out a small breath
“It looks like a ance to it”
“Is that so…?”
“This can be eaten?”
“Ahh, I actually thought oftoday, but I h for you and the maidens”
“Oh!”
Oichi’s face was shi+ning Her face was showing happiness fro about others is one of her best qualities
“Tsubaki, Kaede, Sakura come over here”
Oichi called her maids, they took a little ti at each other, wondering as happening One of the tasks of the maids was not to disturb when the Daimyo couple were alone That is why they were hesitant
“Here, you roll it like this…”
“Oh…it looks cute doesn’t it?”
I roll the crepe into a circular shape and hand it over to Oichi Then, I do the sa their heads and receiving it while their bodies were shaking
If you think carefully, it’s absolutely impossible for the head of the Daimyo family to personally hand over sweets that he prepared to the likes of a maid In the first place, even with tea, the vassal couldn’t participate until the Dai atand crying with deep emotion
Yep, as I thought it is quite difficult to get used to it Oichi smiles while I have a troubled look on amasa-sama” she says as she opens her lovely mouth and takes one bite of the crepe
“Sosweet…!”
She raised a voice of astonish in surprise The maids that were in front of their surprised master meet the crepe hastily with their mouths Then they stayed with that stiff posture and started to let out big tears
In this era, sugar was still soar obtained froar obtained from western Europe started to flow into Kitakyushu, Osaka, and Kyoto in the late 1560s
The ar was centered in Kitakyushu, Kyoto and Osaka, the farther froher the price The Owari province where the home of Oichi’s parents was located was a prosperous area in coar was expensive, there was no doubt that it was a luxury In other words, what theseihout their lifetime
However, because the Azai family influenced the Omi province which is adjacent to Kyoto, I was able to buy it directly froar was relatively easy to obtain
I looked at the girls that weretheir mouths with innocence in a freshdelicious food brings you happiness
‘I wonder if I can do so about the diet in this era…’
The only flavoring that they have is salt, which is sad when you coh
“It is finally tiamasa-sama”
“Yes”
Oichi raised her voice with nervousness in ht now is Mi no Seikoku2, that is 10 o’clock in theexpressed in modern time It is finally time for the individual intervieith the vassals The interview site is uide the military commanders when the time comes
By the way, the ones that I have an intervieith today are Isono Kazumasa and Endo Naotsune
Naotsune is the strongest admiral of the Azai family; he already met with Oichi before elcomed Oichi to the Azai family
Kazueneral of the Azai fareat h eleven of the thirteen
for but a step away froahere the allied forces of Oda and Tokugawa battled against the allied forces of the Azai and Asakura
Moreover, it is surprising to say that Kazuh a forist in the entire Oda family, and the future ruler Toyotoed greatly if the Asakura arainst the offensive of the Tokugawa army
While fantasizing about the if’s of such a different course of history, the fusuma opens, and Sukechika interrupts h it
“Nagamasa-sama, it’s me, Sukechika Endo Naotsune-done has arrived”
“Good, come in!”
“Yes, although…”
Said Sukechika with bewilderment
“I notified to Isono Kazu is after Naotsune-dono, but Kuzamasa-dono misunderstood the order and has already arrived at the castle”
“Is he trying to coainst Naotsune for the order?”
I ask while taking a deep breath
“No, it’s not like that…”
Said Sukechika amazed
“Naotsune-dono said, “I have served the Lord since he was a child No matter what happens, there is no way that I lose my loyalty to my lord Therefore, there is notmy friend Kazumasa after all this tiuide Kazuether to the presence of the Lord””
I unconsciously expressed a bitter smile It is a historical fact that Endo Naotsune was the vassal who Azai Nagaamasa appointed him not only for his unrivaled loyalty and bravery but also for his personality In short, he will secure the benefits of his master or his friends even if it obliterates his own; it is a very rare personality in the Sengoku period and even more in modern times
“I understand Naotsune is that kind ofthem both”
“Very well, my lord”
