 Sengoku Page Boy's Chronicles 0066 ○＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿○ Kasugayama Castle, Narumi Shogunate Lord: Uesugi Michimaru Kagetora Chronicle Examiner: Page Boy ○＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿○ ◆Year 451 of the Tencho Era, August 26th "The Wall and Trial of the Two-Sword Style Baseball Samurai" It is said that Lord Miyamoto Musashi left behind a secret text known as the Go Rin No Sho, but Lord Otani was a spectacle in his own right, trying to establish a legend within the confines of MLB. However, in the year 2023, his participation in the WBC exhibition and the rigorous season took a toll, causing a reoccurrence of his elbow injury. Such an outcome was anticipated by this humble servant. Among the baseball samurai who ventured from Japan, Maeda, Darvish, Matsuzaka, and Lord Otani, among others, have undergone a procedure called Tommy John surgery. It appears that this surgery was first devised by a physician named Dr. Frank Jobe in 1974, and the procedure became known by the name of the ...

  ○○ Kasugayama Castle, Narumi Shogunate Lord: Uesugi Domanmaru Kagetora Chronicles Examiner: Pageboy ○○ Date: August 19, 451 of the Tensho Era "The Nuclear Disarmament of Japan and the New Emperor of Japan" Our lord often speaks of the time when the current Reiwa Shogunate will exact a hundredfold revenge for Hiroshima, Nagasaki, and indiscriminate bombings throughout the country. The draft of the Japanese Constitution, which does not allow for legitimate self-defense, seems to have been created in a short period by General MacArthur and his close associate, General Whitney. Meetings between the Emperor of Showa and the Supreme Commander of GHQ took place eleven times, guaranteeing the security of the Imperial family and the preservation of the Emperor-centric national structure. However, in the 1952 Treaty of Kowloon Port, negotiations were conducted only between Japan and the United States. With the dissolution of GHQ, the U.S.-Japan Joint Committee was established, and Ja...

It seems that in the year 2024, he will turn thirty, yet he is set to receive a substantial sum of one hundred thousand ryo (100 billion yen) through a multi-year contract lasting a decade. After honing his skills in the remote regions of Ōshū, he crossed the seas, and his impressive feats of defeating the members of MLB one after another are indeed commendable. Where allies exist, foes are bound to emerge. The notion of a warrior of Japanese baseball in the land of America is not beyond reason. As stated in Sun Tzu's Art of War, by understanding both the enemy and oneself, the frequency ...

○＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿○ Kasugayama Castle, Narumi Shogunate Lord: Uesugi Dōman Maru Kagetora Observations by a Pageboy ○＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿○ ◆ Year 451 of Tenbun Era, August 14th "Misunderstandings of Discriminatory Language in the Reiwa Era" In the Sengoku period, the use of discriminatory language was commonplace. The petty bureaucrats in their unimpressive paper offices would dismiss complaints from the subjects, adopting an attitude of indifference. This path would surely lead to the mishandling of the elegant words native to our land. While I am unfamiliar with the ways of Reiwa, I believe that human expression and freedom must persist eternally. For instance, in the Reiwa era, there's a fascination with the arrogance of celebrities. It's often reported that they "marry commoners," but what exactly does "commoner" mean? Are not celebrities themselves common people? I believe it refers to merchants who run their own businesses, peddling their per...

Kasugayama Castle, Narumi Shogunate Lord of the Castle: Uesugi Michimaru Kageyoshi Observations by: Attendant Date: August 12, Year 451 of the Reiwa Era "JAL Flight 123 Incident and the Nexus of the Japan-U.S. Joint Committee" Approximately 18 years ago in the year 451 of the Reiwa Era, news reached us of a tragic aircraft accident that claimed the lives of many citizens. At that time, the Japanese government was hesitant to thoroughly investigate the cause of the accident, as rumor has it that even the Lord himself had remarked that the truth of the incident would be taken to the grave. Thus, there were undoubtedly reasons why the truth could not be spoken. Several years ago, the wreckage of the accident plane was discovered on the seabed of Sagami Bay. However, it was declared off-limits for anyone to get involved. It is only natural that the people would not be satisfied with such a decision. While the Treaty of Kuwaminato was signed in the year 1952, it is worth noting th...

In simpler terms, this would be the year 2433 AD. The more one tries to comprehend, the less clear it becomes, and it is no wonder that I, too, find myself bewildered. I have somehow found myself in the battles of the Tenbun Era while originally belonging to the wars of the Reiwa Era. Though I wish to return to the warring times of my own era, Lord of the Residence has expressed that witnessing the suffering of future inhabitants is unbearable. Having traversed through eras to bring about a peaceful age, I did not imagine that the Reiwa Era could have become so ravaged. Nevertheless, even if I believe that change is necessary for the better, ther...

While the exact origins are uncertain, it seems that comprehensive poppy cultivation techniques were introduced from India, leading to a prosperous period from the Sengoku period to the end of the Showa era, about eighty years ago, even gaining the Emperor's endorsement. Prior to World War II, about ninety percent of poppy production was utilized for military purposes, generating significant profits. It is said to have played a substantial role in strengthening pre-war military capabilities. Hemp was a valuable resource for the people of Japan, essential for clothing, food, and shelter. However, excessive consumption through ingestion or inhalation could harm t...

His muscles are showing signs of severe cramping, and his ability to play a full season is now in doubt. MLB has introduced various rule changes, including the possibility of implementing a pitch-lock and even a double-lock, making it difficult for the two-way play to continue. Hence, Lord Uesugi is also worried. The most important thing is not to push himself too hard and steadily improve his performance. If he exerts himself too much this year and encounters physical issues, it may go beyond just facing fre...

Among them, the appearance of our lord has been celebrated by the people of Reiwa as the "Heaven, Earth, and Humanity Fireworks." However, it seems that the Reiwa Shogunate is concerned about the irresponsible behavior of its subjects who are enjoying themselves and posting on social media under the pretext of a picnic trip to Bantenren. The lack of response from the Reiwa Shogunate to the people's efforts to liven up Japan is becoming a serious problem. The rampant irresponsible behavior is turning Japan into a lawless land, and its downfall seems inevitable. Launching fireworks represents hopes, prayers, and memorials for the future of the people....

Title: "The Foolish Scheme of the Reiwa Shogunate's My Number Card" Kasugayama Castle, the Nanami Shogunate Lord: Uesugi Dōmanmaru Kagemaru Date: August 1st, the 451st year of Tenbun "The Reiwa Shogunate's my number card plan is a ridiculous scheme. They have implemented a commission-based system for the widespread distribution of these cards to all feudal lords across the nation, but their means are despicable. The people in our domain are seething with anger. The major printing companies, who played a significant role in promoting the card, are now offering excuses as if they have no responsibility in this matter. Our Lord's patience is reaching its limit. It seems like he is preparing to lead the entire army to seize Nagata Castle. The ruling class is probably too entangled in their vested interests to step back, and thus, the land of Japan is far from a true democracy governed by the will of the people. When Tokugawa resided in Edo Castle and utilized pol...
