Chapter 330 - : Mikado, and the Spirit of Snow (1/2)
In a Different World with a Smartphone Chapter 330: Mikado, and the Spirit of Snow
(Note: since the author isn’t exactly clear on which one he’s using in the text, I’eably in this chapter Just a heads up)
“I don’t know ozaru yo Soozattashi+”
Was Yae’s reply when I asked her about the emperor of Eashen
The Mikado really is a ure… Apparently none except the lords that act as his/her close aides are even allowed to see him/her Is the e Ieyasu-san and asking if he can arrange afor us
As Eashen has not been officially included within the World Alliance yet, I did not give a mass- production model smartphone to Ieyasu-san As such, because I have to send a letter expressing ate mirror, I wrote an official letter with the Brunhild coat of arms on it and sent it off
A few days later, I received a letter which said the Mikado is willing toand transferred ourselves to Ieyasu-san’s castle in Oedo
“Well, it’s really been a while, Touya-dono”
“I’ well”
Ieyasu-san, who seereeted us with the saht to a separate room and served some tea It’s houjicha Delicious
It’s been a while since I’ve been in a tata for e amount of rice the other day They were very delicious Yae was eating thele day…”
“That, that was due to Claire-dono’s cooking being too excellent, and as such I couldn’t stoplike that here-degozaru ka! Touya- dono, you ozaru!”
I then had to soothe Yae who turned her back toit in that hen I said that though…
The way Yae heartily choiveslike that I love that part of her as well, after all
“Hahaha, it’s good that your relationshi+p is close When Yae-dono was still in Eashen, she was so… She sure has changed a lot fro a man she loves, eh?”
“L-love, to say, that… U words, Yae became even redder and pitched her body forward She covered her face with both of her hands, and would soain fro!? I want to give her a hug right this instant!
As expected, that would be bad in this place though I restrained h, and moved onto the main topic at hand
“And so, about the Mikado…”
“The Mikado is not here in Oedo, but in Kyoto’s iic, it’s an easy trip Of course, I’ll be going along with you”
(Note: the raw used キョウの都 , which I re somewhere to be the way japanese refer to Kyoto in the old times I’m not sure on this one, however… Could be one of those fake knowledges instilled in me by animes)
Kyoto, eh Well, I did think it would be there so the Mikado was not given So like “You’ll knohen you see hih the emperor of Eashen, the Mikado does not actually partake in politics Up until now, it was a system where each of the feudal lords took control of their own territories, and although there were the occasional troubles, Eashen had been le country while delicately balancing varioussaid that, in recent years, someone with the ambition to replace the Mikado appeared That soht to unite Eashen under his rule and waged war against the other feudal lords, but due to the betrayal of one of his aides, Akechi Mitsuhide, he lost his life while leaving his a back, the one who had fueled the aht have been the monkey who named himself Hashi+ba Hideyoshi+… I’m somewhat suspicious that all that was the work of the subordinate God who had hidden himself behind Hideyoshi+’s façade back then
(Note: kinda late and also useless reminder All the names the author used sounds exactly the same as their actual historic counterparts, but the kanji used for the naed, such that they sound the same but are actually different Just a point to note)
In the end, that whole reatly upset the power balance between each of the feudal lords, and Ieyasu-san had jumped to the top from within thattoIf you ask me, honestly I wouldn’t mind if Ieyasu-san had simply become the Eashen representative for the alliance, but it’ll be troublesome if others ca [Recall], I received memories of Kyoto, and proceeded to open a [Gate] there
Like that, I transferred to Kyoto together with Yae, Ieyasu-san and several guards who followed along
“Haa—a… I see, so this is Kyoto…”
Should I say it’s exactly as I expected… It’s a perfect replication of one of those Heian-era depictions of the capital you see in historical dramas Really, isn’t the flow of tie Makes me wonder if so like “Let’s be relaxed about this-ojaru”
In front of us is a giant verate, and behind is a wide road that stretches out far off into the distance A five-fold tower-like building can be seen in the distance as well Is this road
we’re on so like Suzaku Avenue in the old Kyoto?
The ver sound once Ieyasu-san announced his arrival
While being guided by people wearing clothes that make them look like Heian-era nobles, we removed our shoes and went deeper into the palace that looked like a shrine
Having been walking between si vermillion-colored pillars for a while, I almost feel like I’m lost inside an oriental labyrinth
And at last, theus stopped before a pair ofdoors that probably leads to the deepest roouide slowly pulled open the sliding doors to reveal a wide tatami-floored room and a raised seat of honor in the back, separated from the room by a bamboo curtain
There’s unmistakeably a presence behind the curtain The euards wait outside, the sliding doors are closed once again We proceeded to walk up to the curtain, before Ieyasu-san stopped us at a good spot
“Your Majesty This is the Sovereign of Brunhild Dukedoed his way of speaking, and bowed down deeply while sitting down on the tatami While Yae too had sat down and lowered her head deeply, I’m neither someone born in this country nor one of its vassals, so I didn’t follow suit
Even though small, I’m nevertheless the representative of a whole country, so I can’t lowerto look cool, but I was actually al the atht bow I think there wouldn’t be any problen King”
The bamboo curtains are pulled up smoothly before one person came down fro a junihitoe based on a light peach and white color tone A beautiful wohtly surprise, long hair that were even whiter than that
This is unexpected The Mikado was an e even ht red, and two srew out of her forehead
Oni That word floated up within my brain… No, rather than an oni, is she a horned person… A demi-hu as the emperor of Eashen for around two thousand
years now”
“Ah, hello… Mochizuki Touya”
Two thousand years… Is she perhaps alifespan like Her Majesty the Eh the horned people do live longer than regular hu lifespan…
Also, this feeling I’ from Her Majesty in front of me… Where have I… Ah
“Have you noticed? Yes, I’m not a normal demi-human While my father had indeed been a member of the horned people, my htly Oh, that’s it Right, her aura feels somewhat siive birth to a child if she turns into a hu that could shave away a huge portion of the spirit’s power, and at worst, it could even lead to her death
Of course, spirits can’t die in the literal sense of the word, but the resurrected spirit wouldn’t be the same existence as the one that had disappeared I wonder if the spirit who had been
shi+rahi full well the potential consequences…
“Originally, as a person who has the blood of a spirit flowing in her veins, I should be bowing down in order to greet you who has been crowned the king of spirits, so please forgiveable to do so I’m also one who represents a country, after all”
“Ah… Well, don’t worry about it On a side note, who did you even hear that from?”
“A dependant of the spirit of ice Since the spirit of ice is sos”
“And shi+rahime-san’s entle mother to me”
