"Go ahead and make the trip, it shouldn't be a big deal." Nozawa had weighed it all up, and figured he should go—it was mostly a case of the pros outweighing the cons.
Now that he'd fallen on hard times and ended up in Japan's Warring States period—which, let's be real, just the name "Warring States" gives away that the whole country will be a warzone sooner or later—even if he ran off elsewhere, he'd probably get sucked into the fighting anyway. Besides, if he wanted to get ahead, to build up wealth, living in Oda Nobunaga's territory was definitely the best deal. If he could avoid running around, he'd rather not go wandering.
For example, the reason he dared to sell a batch of soy sauce every seven or eight days and make a killing, without fearing the shameless monks at Hosokawa Guanyin Temple coveting his "secret recipe," was because he was living in Takeshige Manor.
