The shogun’s nickname is Keiki and every time I hear his name, I think of cake. Why is this what I focus on while battles abound and political shenanigans ensue? 🎂🍰

This book makes my life feel cozy in comparison to the author's adventures. The amount of bullets flying, ambushes in the dark, political conspiracies, and just the daily life of a translator...it makes today's generation seem very soft
