[Ugh. Not the abstaining from sweets again! Damn you Buddhism! LET PEOPLE HAVE CANDY!!!]
World, no. Island, yes.
Japan in my time is secluded from the rest of the world. Everything here is more akin to Northeastern Europe. [Hehe northeastern = bad luck and why he named his oni familiar Kimon! Not... that nearly anyone gets it. Mitsuhide kind of, but Mitsuhide is a special case on everything in regards to Oda. His reactions are generally the same, and Mitsuhide has no tastebuds so candy and foreign food is utterly lost on him!!] Usually we'd eat outside. And you're never supposed to wear shoes indoors. [Head shake!] Like I said, we don't have chairs like these. And there's no grand tea ceremonies here...
Ah. Part of being the Demon King... I wanted to know everything about Europe, even though it was oftentimes forbidden or looked down upon. The priests call them heretics, or barbarians, and want to keep out any foreigners. [Shrug and arrogant smirk.] I was the opposite. Guns come from them, my favorite candies, they proved the world is round, and told me about the other continents. A lot of Japan was hopelessly fractured by infighting and the monks wanted everyone to focus locally, not bigger.
But my guides to the outside world... I know now I asked a lot of wrong questions. [A small laugh and a headshake.] I always asked about the economics, the governments, the trade, the production...
Have you ever seen a sheep before here? [Listen, he had priorities. Just not sane ones. It was candy, and seeing a sheep. To be fair, the sheep thing was to do with production because wool, and food, but still!] We don't have them in Japan. So no wool, and not as food. And we don't have wheat. Everything is rice. Rice balls, rice flour, rice noodles, rice with fish. We don't have sugar either! Konpeito, a confetti candy, was a gift from the missionaries to my land!
[His dream... to let Japan become so prosperous everyone could have konpeito all they want and the monks and bandits, corrupt lords, and fear of offending the spirits, couldn't stop people from enjoying life.]
A woman told me of pies, like Chinese mooncakes. Only they use pie for everything here! Sheep pie, fruit pie, nut pie, root pie!
It's very different from what I'm used to. Nothing I had my whole life.
