Chapter 8: A beauty swaying in the steam (Part 1)

If Oichi is the e is thefeet powerfully kick the ns of wear, so she didn’t need horseshoes

Taishakutsukige ran down to the base of the Odani Mountain without slowing down at all She is able to reach quite a high speed, so truth be told, I’m a little nervous Oichi raised her voice as if she was a feing to htened

However, Taishakutsukige didn’t lower her speed at all Even trying to control her with the rains ended up being useless, so I decided to leave everything to Taishakutsukige’s judgment

In hbred horses that participate in horse races generally run at around 60 kiloenerally run at 30 to 50 kiloht now is running at a speed close to 140 kilometers an hour

She is quite the dreadful ani easy on h she’s running with an overwhel shaken off Taishakutsukige’s back hasn’t coh to stay seated without holding the rains In the end, these aren’t “horses” after all… Hikobee called them “monsters,” they aren’t the “horses” I’m familiar with

By the way, the word “monster” is quite old; it is derived fro monks to repel those on the path of treason, that disturbed the good deeds of humans and in some cases even injured human lives In short, “monster” means the kind of evil spirits of rivers andabout being able to douess it could be said that the japanese are crazy no matter orld or tiood sense I have no doubt that they would instantly think of co these “monsters” if they appeared in the west

If you run down the h the last castle district, a town that lays at the bottoe starts to slon her speed She is clever after all She coh the castle town at full throttle, she will end up knocking down the townspeople

“Ah! It’s Bizen-no-kami!” 1

Theon the side of the road started a co a lot of faces stick out from the shops and houses Currently, the town of the Odani could neither be called big or sely sized Naturally, eneration after generation, so they have a deep interest in the Azai family

“The wife also came!”

“Haa… She’s so beautiful Compared to her my wife is&h

ellip;”

“What was that!? What are you saying while glancing at me!?”

The townspeople of this era used to build things inside their houses or on the road It was such a for out from their houses towards the road one after another just to see as going on In this era where there is little entertainment, even if it is the smallest of occurrences, they will co their work

“Do you knohere the wholesale rice dealer is?”

“Neeeeigh”

I ask Taishakutsukige and then she responded with a neigh while shaking her head It looks like she understands It’s a how clever she is

Taishakutsukige carries Oichi and h the castle town, in the back, the townspeople follow us in groups It is somewhat enjoyable since it reminds me of the Daimyo’s processions that I’ve read about in textbooks before Taishakutsukige stopped her feet as I decided to enter into a splendid building with Oichi while pondering about it

Thethe inside beca the store withdrew in a hurry, and a healthyhis head in a servileman earlier is the heir and this old man is the current head of the family

“Bizen-no-kami-sama! Ah, and his wife as well…! My name is Yamashi+ta Muneaki fro able to y…”

“Do not worry about it”

After saying that to the old ht to the point

“Muneaki, this is a wholesale rice dealer, right?”

“Yes, that is correct Could it be that…”

Suddenly a shadow is cast on the face of Muneaki

“A battle against the Rokkaku family…”

“No, that’s not it Besides, I didn’t come today to buy rice”

“Oh…?”

Muneaki tilted his head ‘This is a wholesale rice dealer If Bizen-no-kami-sama didn’t come to buy rice, then why on earth did he co those lines

“I want rice bran Around 600 grams if possible”

“Rice bran… Certainly, we have some but…”

Muneaki ended up tilting his head once e?’ I was easily able to read what he was thinking again Even though no one pays special attention to it, if you are japanese you would know that rice bran is the powder that co unpolished rice into polished rice

Inrole as an ingredient in rice-bran oil, but it wasn’t particularly noticed in the Sengoku era of japan becauseunpolished rice

By the way, it is said that the history of Nukazuke started in Kitakyuushuu at the start of the 17th century However, it appears that the rice-bran was currently being used in Nukamiso3, or to be more precise it was used in Misozuke4, but let’s put that aside for now… 5

With an expression as if he was thinking ‘Wanting such a thing, Bizen-no-kanals the people of the store to bring the rice bran

Then after a short while, the youngfilled to the brim with rice bran fro; I ask the cost of the rice bran from Muneaki

“Don’t mention it!”

Said Muneaki while shaking his head and waving his hands

“Rice bran is only good for fertilizing the fields! And , I could never ask for payment of Bizen-no-kami-sama who took the trouble to come here in person…”

“Such reasoning won’t do”

I reazine that one sentence equaled about 120 yen in modern times I take out 10 sentences fro rams, so it could be said that it’s a reasonable price

“I cannot accept it…”
