Side: a long time ago

"It's something I know very well."

It will be the fifth night after leaving the island. As El describes his current position on the nautical chart, Shinko has called out as impressed.

The journey went well. There were days when the waves were a little high, but the wind was good, so it was also the day when we moved on. It would be genuine to be horrified to see, even roughly, the distance thus advanced on the map.

"We'll go as far as crossing the tide."

The problem with this route would be the black tide flowing from southwest to northeast. The width of the black tide is approximately one hundred kilometers. The black tide flows at speeds of three to four knots, so six to eight kilometers are flown in an hour. Depending on the wind conditions, dozens of kilometers will be routes calculated to be flown.

"Would you like a drink?

The city is already asleep. Although all sailors work in shifts because they run through the night.

The waves are also relatively calm tonight. In the light of the lamp, Shinko invites me to drink a little sleeping wine.

"Funny but ruthless with the world."

This may be the first time Shinko, me and Elle have had alcohol alone. Shinko said that when he drank the alcohol poured into the glass, he couldn't really read it.

"Some places are like Kuyuan Island, others are crushed together in clans like Matsuhei. Oda wasn't much of a compliment either, but I'm glad my brother put it together before we got there."

Seems like you seriously wanted to stay on the island, but you're willing to think of the clan. In the sense of broadening your horizons, maybe it meant more than Mr. Nobunaga.

"Did Sun Sanro not intend to unify Tai Zhang himself?

"You don't listen lightly to what everyone wants to hear but can't. Well, I like it there. Let's lie if we say we don't. I just don't think it's until we have a brother to contend with. That's what makes it so hard."

When I asked him what he wanted to ask me, he told me a little while I was stunned.

I guess Shinko doesn't really like people who flatter him weirdly. Like that. Maybe the truth is that I want to do whatever I want in quite a position with as much.

Surprisingly, my essence is similar to mine.

"Well, you're right"

"Would you be the same? You want to take over Oda and stand on your own?

"I don't like it."

"Me, too. Especially if you watch my brother struggle these days. Brother Yojiro has been driven out lately."

That's what I was feeling too. Shinko must have felt it, too. Not everyone wants to try and get under the sky. It seems like a downward era, but I think a lot of people had to go downward without wanting to.

"Should I make money? You won't have to fight to eat or drink. I'll imitate you. It won't be easy."

"Speaking of which, Sun Sanro is actively cooperating in the reform of rice cultivation."

A little soggy, Mr. Shinko's true meaning came out.

Are you willing to imitate us? Better than rebelling though. Speaking of which, the agricultural reform we started this year also actively cooperated with Shin-soo and Nobunaga as well as with their direct jurisdictions, right?

I didn't know you had such thoughts. Maybe I can think of something.

The next morning, after breakfast, we stopped the ship and gathered the captains of the four ships.

"No, what is it?

This will be the first time I have stopped a ship on this journey to collect a captain, except when supplying. Naturally, Nobunaga and the others were present for the after-school, and Nobunaga apparently felt something about the difference in air.

"There will be a storm before sundown."

It was sunny outside. In that, I told him the storm was coming. However, naturally, Mr. Oda seems half-hearted as to whether it is true.

"I will elaborate on it from me. The convoy was scheduled to enter the black tide today, but we will dock here to fight the storm."

Elle began explaining by spreading the chart. Honestly, if it's just our ship, it's a demon-modified ship, and that's fine, because there's a long-distance ship from the Sage Navy. Measures will be needed.

Incidentally, the backward circumstance is also that we knew there was a good chance of a storm in the weather forecast before we left the island. We have satellites here, computers for the Fortress of Space.

After consulting with the Els, I was also asked to gain experience with the storm. Regardless of the level of storm Kurumi's ship is predicted to withstand.

It will be a black tide stream soon, but if you dock in the middle of the black tide, it will be flown east. In case you think about it, you'd better go through the storm in as safe a place as possible.

"I see..."

Saji changed her complexion when she heard it was a storm. I was on a Galeon ship when I went to Kanto, but this time I'm on my own. That's why I understood that the outer ocean is tough on long-distance ships.

"It's Lord Saji's ship, but I'd like you to follow the sailor's instructions from Kuyuan's house to withstand the storm. How about it? Of course, I'd like to talk to Lord Saji..."

When Elle finishes the storm description all the way down, he gets to the point. I want you to give me command of the ship temporarily. To weather the storm.

Actually, this is a rather unscrupulous demand. The captain of the Kuyuan ship is Mr. Saji. I'm telling the captain to give me command of the ship because he can't survive the storm under your command. Naturally, we have to take into account Mr. George's mentions and pride.

"Right. We have no experience of storms like this in the ocean. Best regards,"

"Really? Good, because even at worst, the personnel will definitely help. Bye, Lynn May. Take some of them, please."

"I'll take care of it, sir"

Good. Mr. George accepted without one disgusting face. Naturally, we'll have to consider our identities. Mr. George's ship will send Linmei. My wife can't even crush Mr. George's mentions.

But here Mr. George looked surprised. I understand the dangers of a long-distance ship. You must have been surprised that I sent my wife.

"Are you sure? It's a big danger on a long-distance ship."

"I don't mind. Statutes of those who live in the sea. And we will all return alive."

Saji would be confused if there was any trouble, but this much consideration would be required. Besides, everyone in the Saji Water Army goes to Tsushima a lot, so I'm familiar with Linmei.

"Well, thank you, gentlemen"

One last time I bow my head down and dissolve. I plan on finishing my meals before the storm, and I have to take care of the storm.

"Oh?"

"It's like the wild. Princess."

As Mr. Saji and the other ship captains left, the city, who had been silent, opened its mouth. You were somewhat present with everyone, but you kept quiet about not thinking it was time to pinch your mouth as a child.

But the city doesn't seem to understand the danger. I don't even get seasick, so I enjoy traveling just like Shinko, and I can't help it.

"The city likes ships. Let's not have a problem."

"Yeah!"

Nobunaga. In that kind of problem. My nanny's a little nervous, but this guy can be us too. Looks like he's prepared to leave it to me.

And by the time it was past lunch and plugged into the evening, the sea was rough.

"That's a big deal. Read ahead."

"It's the wisdom of the Kuyuan family. Feels like cloud flow or wind. Years of experience again."

Nobunaga and his men have already asked him not to be on deck, and he withstands the storm as he feels the ship shake still in the cabin.

Was it the prediction of the storm that Nobunaga hooked up? I don't know anything about the weather that was natural in the original world.

The city looks excited, too, whilst sandwiched by Robo and Blanca. I guess there's no anxiety.

A little too young to understand death.

"Is there a storm in the sea? But there is a land sway. To this extent, trembling involves a samurai ticket."

"That's my grandson, Sanro."

It is all the children of the heavy minister who are slightly disturbed, but they all settle into the way Shinko and Shinko's liver have been set in place.

The storm will weaken in the morning. We all want to have a safe morning.
