Haremette #2 is a chocolate not-a-witch?

Grorious Nippon chopsticks. Superior to European cutlery, and can stop a charging bull.

He seems like an intelligent guy, so he must be aware that he can rock the 16th century Europe with just his highschool knowledge?

@harou sorry for tagging, page 9 looks like it hasn't been completely cleaned, the original text can be seen albeit it's very light

 

[harou]

@imota Could you send me a screenshot, might just be my screen but it seems cleaned to me?

 

[imota]

@harou don't think you'd be able to see it with a screenshot so I went with this

Fun fact about chocolate. Much like lots of things in the New World, Europeans were extremely suspicious of Chocolate, and practically ignored it for a long while, especially because the native word for the plant, Kakau, sounded suspiciously like the Spanish word for "poop", caca, so of course they weren't keen on drinking the suspicious brown drink they were offered.

Similarly, Tomatoes were imported into Spain and Italy from the New World, and were used in food, but the rest of Europe thought Tomatoes looked suspiciously like a family of poisonous fruit called Nightshade, and refused to eat it, concluding it wasn't fit for human consumption (all while Spain and Italy were developing different cuisine with it)
There's also a bunch of other stuff Europeans missed out on by being dumb, that I honestly think that if plague hadn't wiped out 95% of the two continents, they would have never been able to colonize the region like they did.

Sehr gut. Danke schon.

The 16th century was the renaissance era, not the Middle Ages.

1585

Chocolate is introduced to Europe commercially.

Maybe in Italy, but not in all of continent. Even Russia only able to modernize in 17th century under Peter The Great.

Meanwhile, Spain is fluorishing by wealth from New World. Portuguese and Ottomans are competing to monopolize the eastern trade.

@TUSF

Other Europeans not eating tomatoes isn't that stupid during that time. Tomatoes are actually related to nightshade, so it wasn't that crazy of an idea to think that tomatoes are poisonous. In addition, travel of information took much longer then than it does now.

I was expecting the classic licorice switcheroo

 

[TUSF]

@Infiking These were people receiving tomatoes from Spain and Italy, who were using them in their food. They were definitely stupid.

Super interesting series, but a couple of qualms. First, are they speaking in Japanese in 17t century Europe? And also there’s no way those chopsticks could stop a raging bull lol. Hope this gets updated soon! One of my more interesting reads.
