Chapter 555 Hijikata: "Tachibana, watch carefully, this is how the harem is opened(3/3)
Hearing what Qingden said, Elodie, Anthony and Leroy quickly took off their hats and face towels.
"call……"
Anthony let out a sigh of relief.
"I can finally breathe a sigh of relief..."
I saw fine beads of sweat on the faces of the three of them.
Elodie's little face was flushed red, and her golden hair stuck to her pretty face.
Although it is still winter with a cold climate, wearing a hat and a face towel all day long...just the feeling of being sweaty and unable to wipe it off is enough to make people uncomfortable.
"I'm sorry, thank you for all the hard work. From today until I arrive in Kyoto, I have to force you to play the role of the 'masked man'."
As soon as Qingdeng finished speaking, Anthony hurriedly said:
"What the hell! Mr. Tachibana, please don't apologize! It's not too late for us to thank you!"
Now that he has accepted the commission from Boss Kiryu to "escort Angoulême's family to Kyoto," Aoto will definitely go all out and never slack off.
In order to avoid being criticized by the soldiers in the army who uphold the idea of respecting the king, Elodie and others had to disguise themselves to cover their distinctive Western faces.
Fortunately, General Dong is still here, so even if he is wearing a hat and a scarf, he will not arouse any suspicion.
As long as the appearance problem can be solved, other problems will be solved easily.
All three of them can speak fluent Japanese.
Elodie's Japanese is even more fluent, and she doesn't look like a foreigner at all.
Although Anthony and Leroy have thick accents, it's not a big deal.
Japan under the rule of the Edo shogunate did not universalize compulsory education, let alone promote standard language.
In other words, since the founding of the Tokugawa family, there has been no so-called standard language at the official level.
Edo, Kyoto, and Osaka—people in these three big cities all regard their own accents as standard speech, and they also look down on each other's accents, especially those from Kyoto.
Osaka people are very proud of their "Osaka Ben".
People in Kyoto regard their "Jingyinye" as a noble and elegant sound.
The more geographically remote the area, the heavier the accent and the better the dialect.
Especially in the southwestern region...for example, the Satsuma dialect has basically nothing to do with Japanese, they are completely two languages.
Therefore, even if outsiders hear the voices of Elodie and others, they will not doubt their identities because of their accents. They will only think that they are country bumpkins from a certain mountainous area.
