I was a swordsman in ancient Japan

"But I don't know how to speak the Izumo dialect, and I don't know much about the local customs of Izumo, so I can't help you with the Kabuki script that Inuko is currently writing."

After a wry smile, Nishino Sotaro put on a serious face and tone again.

"If you are willing to help Quanzi complete his script, then I am willing to let you take our merchant ship to Ezodi."

"It's just that our merchant ships will only stop at Hirahiro Town in the Matsumae Domain."

"So we can only send you to Pinghiro Town of Matsumae Clan. Can you accept landing in Pinghiro Town of Matsumae Clan?"

"Yes." Ogata said, "As long as we can be sent to Ezo, it will be fine."

"The next time we sail, we have to wait until January of the next year." Sotaro Nishino continued, "Can you wait until this time?"

"January of the next year?" Ogata frowned slightly, "Do you have to wait that long?"

It's only the end of November now, which means you have to wait for more than a month to get on the boat of Yuan Tachibana House.

"It's not just us. All merchants will not send boats to Ezo this year." Sotaro Nishino said slowly, "It is now the end of the year, and every household is preparing for the New Year."

"No matter which merchant you go to, it is impossible to go to Ezo by merchant ship this year."

"Is that so?" Ogata raised his hand and scratched his hair.

After thinking for a moment, he nodded slowly:

"I understand. Then let's wait until January next year, and then go to Ezodi after spending the New Year here."

"In that case," Sotaro Nishino bowed to Ogata, "I leave the script for Inuko to you."

"When I help Quanzi complete his script, I will definitely keep my promise, and I will take you along when I go to Ezo to buy new products in January next year."

The negotiation with Sotaro Nishino took less than 5 minutes from start to finish.

After leaving Nishino Sotaro's room, Ogata said softly to Nishino Jiro who was walking beside him:

"Your father is very kind to you. He is very concerned about your script."

"Yeah." Nishino Jiro smiled, with a bit of pride and happiness in the smile on his face, "Father has always supported my ambition to become a Kabuki playwright."

"I have always felt that I am very lucky to have a father who has always supported me."

"only"

A bit of bitterness appeared on Nishino Jiro's face, and then he said softly at a volume that only he himself could hear clearly:

"The reason why my father supports my ambition so much is partly because of the cruelty."

Nishino Jiro took a deep breath, and after slowly exhaling the deep breath, Nishino Jiro said to Ogata seriously:

"Mashima-sama, without further ado, let's start writing the script now!"

"Well." Ogata showed a meaningful smile, "You found me, you have found the right person. Before I left Izumo, I heard a lot about Ogata Itsuki's deeds."

"I can not only introduce you to the living and speaking habits of Izumo people."

"By the way, I can also help you add some deeds of Ogata Yasushi."

"Really?" Nishino Jiro grinned, "Then I am looking forward to working with you more and more!"

After finishing speaking, Nishino Jiro walked straight to the next stairs.

"Mashima-kun, Mashima-san! Come with me, I'll take you to my room!"

Ogata and Atachi followed Nishino Jiro, and followed him to his room on the second floor of Gentachibana House.

Nishino Jiro's room is very inconsistent with his cheerful and carefree personality.

In a room with six tatami mats, everything is neatly arranged.

The tatami mats made of tatami mats are quite clean and can be described as spotless.

There was no furniture in the room.There is almost nothing else besides books.

A large number of books are stacked into hills of different heights, crowding every corner of this room.

Because of the existence of these books, the originally spacious room became quite narrow. Only the central area has no books and can be used for people to stand and sit.

"Mashima-kun, Mrs. Mashima, please sit down!"

Nishino Jiro took two cushions and placed them on the tatami that was not occupied by books.

"This is the first draft I just finished a while ago."

Nishino Jiro handed Ogata a book about half the thickness of an adult's finger.

"Let's take a look at it for you first!"

"Because the real name cannot appear in the Kabuki script, I changed Ogata Ittosai's name to Hanyu I!"

"Yeah." Ogata nodded gently, "Have you finished the first draft yet? Then allow us two to read it."

Ogata is also aware of the rule that Kabuki scripts cannot have real names.

While kabuki scripts can be based on real-life events, the use of real names is prohibited.

The kabuki script based on the real "Ako 47 righteous men": Zhongchen Zang, all the characters in it have changed their names.

In the "Ako 47 righteous men" incident, the person who commanded the righteous men to kill the humiliated lord who caused them was named Oishi Neizosuke.

Oishi Neizosuke is undoubtedly the protagonist in this incident.

When later Kabuki playwrights adapted this incident into a script Chuchenzo, they changed the name of the leading man in this incident: Oishi Neizosuke to Oya Yuranosuke.

The names of other real people have also been changed.

Ogata knew the rules of the Kabuki world.So after learning that my name in the script was changed, I was not puzzled or surprised.

Ogata turned to the first page.

Nishino Jiro has prepared detailed persona for each character in his script.

The first page of this first draft is the character setting he made for his "Ogata Yishi".

When he saw the first line, Ogata's expression froze.

There are no mirrors nearby.

But even without a mirror to look at, Ogata was sure his own face must be darkened by now too.

As for A-Machi, after reading the first line of the first page with Ogata, she turned her head away.

Her cheeks were puffed up, her body was trembling slightly, and she was trying desperately to hold back a smile.

"Nishino-kun."

"exist!"

"Your script can be rewritten."

Nishino Jiro: "???"

Chapter 446 Start kicking the pavilion!Start leveling! [Burst update 1W]

"You made a mistake at the beginning!"

Ogata poked his finger hard at the first line of the first page of the first draft.

"Didn't you say that you spent several months collecting information before writing this script?"

"Ogata doesn't shave his head every day. He keeps such information that he always sends out, so you can find out if you just ask around?"

As soon as Ogata finished speaking, Nishino Jiro nodded confidently:

"I know, I know that Ogata Yidaosai doesn't shave Tsukidai's head, he keeps his hair."

"Since you know, why did you design Ogata Isai in the script as a handsome man with Tsukiyo's head shaved?"

"Because Tsukiyotou is more handsome."

After saying that, Nishino Jiro lowered his head, showing the top of his shiny head to Ogata.

Nishino Jiro's hairstyle is Tsukiyoto.

At this time, there happened to be a few beams of sunlight shining into the room along the window, hitting the top of Nishino Erlang's clean-shaven head, reflecting a slightly dazzling light.

"Compared with the general hair, Yuedaitou is more popular with everyone."

"So in order to let everyone like Yidaozhai in my writing more, I changed Yidaozhai's hairstyle to Yuedaitou."

What Jiro Nishino said is well-founded

During the Edo period, the most popular and considered the most masculine hairstyle was the Tsukiyotou.

Ogata has lived in this era for more than a year since time travel.

Although he has lived for such a long time, Ogata still can't accept Tsukiyotou's hairstyle that requires all the hair on the top of his head to be shaved

Ogata couldn't bear to have such an ugly hairstyle.

At the same time, it cannot be tolerated that someone changes his demon into this appearance.

So he immediately said to Nishino Erlang righteously:

"You can't do that."

"Didn't you just swear to me yesterday that you are going to complete a work that surpasses Zhong Chenzang?"

"In order to pursue the authenticity of the characters in the novel, I specially invited me, a ronin from Izumo, to teach you the Izumo tune and the customs of Izumo."

"Anyone who has a certain understanding of Yidaozhai's deeds knows that the hair left by Yidaozhai is Zongfa."

"If you change Yi Dao Zhai's character image like this, isn't it tantamount to destroying the authenticity and completion of the work?"

"Maybe it will attract abuse from some people who respect Yi Dao Zhai."

Hearing what Ogata said, Jiro Nishino showed some hesitation on his face.

"Alright then." Nishino Jiro nodded, "I'll fix this later, and change Yidao Zhai's hair back to Zongfa."

Seeing that he had successfully persuaded Nishino Jiro to change back his appearance in the script, Ogata nodded slightly with satisfaction, and then continued to read the first draft in his hand.

Ogata's reading speed was very fast, and he quickly read through the first draft written by Jiro Nishino.

When Ogata was formally reading the first draft just now, he didn't speak the whole time, and just kept turning the pages in his hands blankly.

Because Ogata did not speak or express his opinions for a long time, Nishino Jiro, who was waiting for Ogata's opinion, was always nervous and anxious.

After Ogata closed the last page of the first draft, Nishino Jiro couldn't wait to ask Ogata.

"How? How do you feel?"

"It's really just like what you said to me yesterday." Ogata showed a bitter smile with a bit of helplessness, "Every character in your writing doesn't speak like an Izumo person, and even more so. Like someone from the Northeast."

"We Izumo people don't say things like be careful and cut you off."

"And then every character in it is eating the wrong food."

"I saw a scene in your first draft in which Yidao Zhai went to eat Wanzi soba with his brothers in the sword hall."

"There are no bowls of soba in Izumo."

"We Izumo people all eat Izumo buckwheat."

"Izumo buckwheat?" Nishino Jiro asked doubtfully.

At this time, A-Machi also turned his curious eyes on Ogata.

"It's a special delicacy from our Izumo side." Ogata said slowly, "First divide the soba noodles into three bowls, each with different ingredients. The most commonly used ingredients are raw eggs, Mashed yam and radish."

"Pour the soup on the first bowl first, then pour the remaining soup into the next bowl and continue to eat after eating, and so on, and finally eat up all three bowls of soba noodles."

"It's delicious." Nishino Erlang's eyes flashed with curiosity and excitement.

After Nishino Jiro's voice fell, A-Machi on the side also expressed her thoughts: "Do you divide the soba noodles into 3 bowls and eat it? It feels so fresh."

Ogata has never eaten "Izumo Buckwheat".

Since he traveled to this era, he actually only stayed in Izumo's Hirose Domain for more than half a year.

Traveled to this era in May last year, and then left the domain at the end of the year and began to travel around the world.

In the past six months, Ogata has never had the opportunity to try these Izumo delicacies.

However, "Ogata Hara" has eaten some Izumo delicacies, including "Izumo Buckwheat", so Ogata has memories of these foods.

"Except for some problems with the dialogue of the characters and these living habits and customs, everything else is pretty well written."

While talking, Ogata handed the first draft back to Jiro Nishino.
