It's being translated automatically into English. I don't-- I didnt know any English. The Captain's-- [Magic... ugh.] Translation sets it up that even writing gets translated. To the one most of the passengers speak and write so less work for him to program or orchestrate. I could barely read the Roman characters without a reference guide, but it's the default here. Lowest common denominator.

[Nobunaga nods.] I prefer futons as well, but I like how squeaky European beds are. [What a thing to say. He really did just say that.]

Marriage is a contract. Some religions view it as sacred. It's a partnership, but not always of equals. When I proposed to Kichou, he still would have been under my rule, so -- [Shrugs.] It is of finances and ownership in my time. But many centuries to the future, the time and culture for most people here, Marriage is just a deepening of relationships. A "next level" kind of thing. I think some on board here are married.

Do contracts always have a clearly defined end date? That would have made dealing with Kichou easier. [Well, Kichou DID end his contract with Nobunaga so...] Marriage is usually without end, so that would be why that word doesn't exist for you.

I would allow a pregnant woman to fight, yes. And children if they could handle themselves.

These things... in hell, not fighting is a luxury. As much as I want to ensure it, make it available to everyone... it finds people anyway. Kichou wanted an all female unit of soldiers. I don't-- didn't ever disagree with him on that. But I do want to allow women who don't want to fight the chance not to have to. These are very old arguments between him and me. Moot ones too, if I never see him again.

I know Japan's strength. Our production. It is like guns. Guns weren't invented in Japan, but we still made them better, and improved upon them. I still used them in ways the Europeans didn't think of. Much like the all female unit Kichou wanted. There's a lot of strong female gunners here. Kichou would love it. It's terrifying to contemplate. [Small low dark chuckle.] Bwahahaha.
