Kiyomasa Katou and Maranori Fukushima, the talented generals who worked for Toyotomi Hideyoshi—said to have ended the Warring States period in Japan—were regarded as two of the powerful Seven Spears of Shizugatake. Both were skilled in martial arts and supposedly hated Kazushige Ishida and Yukinaga Konishi, two men well-versed in politics.

During the Battle of Sekigahara after Toyotomi Hideyoshi’s death, Kazushige Ishida sided with Tokugawa Ieyasu, even though they were at war with them. That almost gave them more of a reason to dislike him. Naturally, the shadows of history obscured the truth, leaving unclear whther Kiyomasa and Masanori’s dislike for Kazushige had influenced his decision.

Even the name Seven Spears of Shizugatake was said to be an alias. People often believed that Toyotomi had few valuable vassals working for him. Kiyomasa and Masanori disliked Kazushige Ishida because he had never shown any valor on the battlefield, yet he had climbed the ranks. Ryoma couldn’t overlook that part of the tales.

Hearsay indicated that Kazushige Ishida, who was talented at logistical support, saw the battle-hardened Kiyomasa Katou as nothing but a boor who could swing his spear.

Though, when it comes to Simone, the situation is a little different, mused Ryoma.

If the story about Kazushige Ishida was true, then the general dislike for him resulted from him flaunting his achievements and victories while insulting others.

Simone Christof felt self-conscious about her job, having self-deprecation and guilt about her inability to stand on the battlefield. Although she didn’t show it in her expression, her emotions were a whole different matter.

“You needn’t worry. I wouldn’t be able to win without you handling logistics, and I don’t need anyone around me who can’t see that for themselves,” said Ryoma. Simone laughed loudly to relieve her guilt, then smiled as she nodded. She may disagree but has come to a sort of compromise.

Ryoma should have been preparing for a war, but there wouldn’t have been a point in starting anything if his main logistics officer didn’t feel confident.

However, it is worth giving some thought to training Simone in combat...

That didn’t mean Simone would have to stand on the battlefield. No real reason existed to teach her how to use a sword or a spear, but Ryoma felt a bit uneasy absolutely no need to teach her.

I have the Igasaki clan keeping watch on her, and even that has its limits. No one knows what the future holds, so I cannot guarantee her safety. If she has the means to protect herself, her chances of surviving anything would be considerably higher.

Despite the lack of immediate danger, enemy organizations could simply send out an assassin or conduct an act of terrorism—to put it in modern terms. In such instances, it was less about killing the enemy and more about having the correct means to retaliate. It could be the difference between life and death.

It would be a good idea to teach her some self-defense. Or should I give her a concealed weapon or poison to use instead?

The best method would be to teach her unarmed combat.
