Please improve the following novel to be more engaging and adding plot point of Yasuke returnig to being a missionary quitting Samurai " rologue:
The sun sank behind the horizon, casting the Japanese countryside in a warm, golden glow. In the courtyard of Nobunaga's castle knelt Yasuke, a tall, muscular African man with skin as dark as midnight. His journey to this moment had been long and treacherous, but it was only the beginning.
Chapter 1: A World Away
Yasuke lived an ordinary life in a small village on the Mozambique coast, unaware of the extraordinary destiny that awaited him. Captured by slave traders and torn from his homeland, he endured a grueling voyage across the Indian Ocean, finally arriving in the bustling port of Goa, India.
It was there that Yasuke's fate took an unexpected turn when he was purchased by Jesuit missionaries. In their service, he learned about Christianity, new languages, and the ways of the Western world. But his journey was far from over.
Chapter 2: The Land of the Rising Sun
As a loyal servant to the missionaries, Yasuke accompanied them on their journey to Japan, a land of mystique and intrigue. The beauty of the land, the complexity of its customs, and the elegance of its people captivated him. As the first African to set foot in Japan, he attracted attention and curiosity from all those who encountered him.
Chapter 3: The Encounter
In Kyoto, the capital of feudal Japan, Yasuke's life changed forever when he met Oda Nobunaga, one of the most powerful and influential daimyos of the time. Nobunaga was captivated by the African's physical prowess, intelligence, and unique background. Seeing potential in Yasuke, Nobunaga decided to take him into his service as a samurai.
Chapter 4: The Path of the Warrior
Yasuke's transformation from a slave to a samurai was fraught with challenges. He had to adapt to the rigorous training, strict code of honor, and the intricacies of Japanese society. But Yasuke's strength, resilience, and determination allowed him to excel, earning the respect of his fellow samurai and the trust of Nobunaga.
Chapter 5: The Unfolding War
As Nobunaga sought to unify Japan under his rule, Yasuke fought by his side in numerous battles. The African samurai's legend grew with each victory, as did his bond with Nobunaga. Together, they faced both triumph and tragedy, navigating the treacherous landscape of alliances and betrayals that defined the era.
Chapter 6: The Turning Tide
Yasuke's reputation as a skilled and loyal samurai grew, as did his bond with Lord Nobunaga. But in the shadows, the tides of change were brewing. Mitsuhide Akechi, once a loyal ally, had grown disillusioned with Nobunaga's rule. The resentment smoldered within him, fueled by a series of perceived slights and political maneuverings. Mitsuhide's ambition and desire for power began to cloud his judgment.
Yasuke sensed the shift in Mitsuhide's demeanor and grew increasingly wary of the samurai lord. However, loyalty to Nobunaga prevented him from openly voicing his concerns. He instead focused on his duties, ever vigilant and ready to protect his lord at a moment's notice.
One fateful evening, the Oda clan gathered to celebrate their recent victories. Unbeknownst to the revelers, Mitsuhide Akechi's treacherous plan was already in motion.
As the sun rose, the first cries of battle rang out. Mitsuhide's forces had launched a surprise attack on Nobunaga's residence at the Honno-ji Temple. Yasuke fought his way to Nobunaga's side, his sword cutting through the trait "
Prologue:
The sun dipped below the horizon, bathing the Japanese countryside in a warm, amber embrace. Yasuke, a towering, powerfully built African man with skin as dark as midnight, knelt in the courtyard of Nobunaga's castle, his heart thundering with anticipation. A perilous journey had brought him to this moment, and yet, it was only the beginning of a story that would span continents and rewrite history.
Chapter 1: A World Away
In a small village on the Mozambique coast, Yasuke led a simple life, blissfully unaware of the extraordinary destiny that lay before him. His world shattered when slave traders captured him, ripping him from his homeland and thrusting him into a brutal odyssey across the Indian Ocean. Fate, however, had other plans when he reached the bustling port of Goa, India.
In Goa, Jesuit missionaries purchased Yasuke, altering the course of his life. Under their guidance, he embraced Christianity, mastered new languages, and absorbed the ways of the Western world. But the wind had not finished carrying him to his ultimate destination.
Chapter 3: The Enchanted Isles
Loyal to the missionaries, Yasuke accompanied them to Japan, a land shrouded in mystery and allure. He was captivated by its breathtaking landscapes, intricate customs, and refined people. As the first African in Japan, he sparked fascination and intrigue wherever he went.
Chapter 4: Fateful Encounters
Kyoto, the heart of feudal Japan, bore witness to the meeting that would forever change Yasuke's life. Oda Nobunaga, a formidable and influential daimyo, was entranced by Yasuke's physical prowess, intellect, and exotic origins. Recognizing Yasuke's potential, Nobunaga welcomed him into his service as a samurai.
Chapter 5: A Warrior Forged
Yasuke's metamorphosis from slave to samurai was laden with trials. He navigated the grueling training, a rigid code of honor, and the complexities of Japanese society. Undaunted, he flourished, earning the admiration of his fellow samurai and the unwavering trust of Nobunaga.
Chapter 6: A Land Divided
As Nobunaga pursued his vision of a united Japan, Yasuke fought valiantly by his side in countless battles. The legend of the African samurai swelled with each victory, and their unbreakable bond deepened. Together, they braved the treacherous world of shifting alliances and betrayals that shaped the era.
Chapter 7: Whispers of Betrayal
Yasuke's renown as a skilled and devoted samurai expanded, as did his connection with Lord Nobunaga. But beneath the surface, a storm was brewing. Mitsuhide Akechi, once a staunch ally, had grown disillusioned with Nobunaga's leadership. His bitterness festered, fed by perceived slights and political machinations. Consumed by ambition and lust for power, Mitsuhide's judgment faltered.
Chapter 8: The Price of Loyalty
Yasuke detected the change in Mitsuhide's spirit and grew increasingly apprehensive. But his unwavering loyalty to Nobunaga held him back from voicing his suspicions. Instead, he redoubled his efforts, ever watchful and prepared to defend his lord at any cost.
Chapter 9: A Night of Shadows
On a fateful evening, the Oda clan gathered to revel in their recent triumphs, oblivious to the treachery that lurked in the shadows. Mitsuhide Akechi's nefarious scheme had been set in motion.
Chapter 9: A Night of Shadows
As dawn broke, the piercing cries of battle shattered the night's tranquility. Mitsuhide's forces had launched a devastating surprise attack on Nobunaga's residence at the Honno-ji Temple. Yasuke fought relentlessly, his sword cleaving through the treacherous warriors as he made his way to Nobunaga's side.
Chapter 10: Flames of Betrayal
The Honno-ji Temple, once a sanctuary of peace, was now engulfed in flames and chaos. Yasuke and Nobunaga fought back to back, their swords a blur of steel, as Mitsuhide's forces closed in. Despite their valiant efforts, they were outnumbered, and Yasuke could sense the battle was lost. With a heavy heart, he whispered a prayer for Nobunaga's soul, knowing that his lord would never surrender.
Chapter 11: A Promise Unbroken
As the temple crumbled around them, Yasuke was captured by Mitsuhide's soldiers. Imprisoned and stripped of his samurai status, he reflected on the path that had led him to this moment. Amidst the darkness, he found solace in the memories of his life with Nobunaga and his time as a missionary. A fire kindled within him, reigniting a long-forgotten purpose.
Chapter 12: The Road to Redemption
In the chaos following Mitsuhide's coup, Yasuke seized an opportunity to escape. He journeyed across war-torn Japan, seeking refuge and a chance to reclaim his former life. His determination and faith guided him, as did the memory of the missionaries who had once saved him from a life of slavery.
Chapter 13: Rebirth of a Missionary
Yasuke found solace and purpose among a group of missionaries in a remote village. Embracing his past, he became an instrumental figure in their community, sharing his knowledge of Christianity, languages, and the Western world. As he nurtured their faith, Yasuke felt the shadows of his life as a samurai slowly fade, replaced by the warm embrace of spiritual fulfillment.
Chapter 14: A Legacy Unforgotten
Though Yasuke had left the life of a warrior behind, the legend of the African samurai continued to grow. His story inspired generations, a testament to the power of resilience, courage, and the human spirit. It was a tale that transcended borders and time, a reminder that even in the darkest moments, hope and redemption could be found.
Epilogue:
As twilight draped the Japanese countryside, Yasuke stood atop a hill, gazing at the village he now called home. His journey had been one of unimaginable hardship, transformation, and ultimately, redemption. And as the sun dipped below the horizon, Yasuke knew that his story, like the sun's eternal cycle, would continue to inspire and illuminate the hearts of those who heard it.
Prologue
The sun sank behind the horizon as the last vestiges of light bathed the Japanese countryside in a warm, golden glow. Yasuke, a tall, muscular African man with skin as dark as midnight, knelt in the courtyard of Nobunaga's castle, tending to his duties. Though he had traveled a long and treacherous path to reach this moment, his journey had just begun.
Chapter 1: A World Away
In a small village on the Mozambique coast, a young Yasuke lived an ordinary life, unaware of the extraordinary destiny that awaited him. Captured by slave traders and torn from his homeland, he endured a grueling voyage across the Indian Ocean, finally arriving in the bustling port of Goa, India.

Chapter 6: The Turning Tide
Yasuke's reputation as a skilled and loyal samurai grew, as did his bond with Lord Nobunaga. The warlord respected Yasuke's dedication and resilience, a stark contrast to the treachery and self-serving ambitions that plagued many samurai of the era.
Word of Yasuke's prowess reached other daimyos, and whispers of the formidable black samurai began to spread across the provinces. The year was 1579, and the Oda clan had just emerged victorious in the Battle of Tedorigawa. Yasuke had fought valiantly, his towering presence and unmatched strength striking fear into the hearts of his enemies.
As the Oda clan continued to expand its territories, Yasuke's friendship with Nobunaga deepened, and he became a trusted advisor. He learned more about Japanese culture, studied the language, and embraced the customs of his new home.
In the shadows, however, the tides of change were brewing. Mitsuhide Akechi, once a loyal ally, had grown disillusioned with Nobunaga's rule. The resentment smoldered within him, fueled by a series of perceived slights and political maneuverings. Mitsuhide's ambition and desire for power began to cloud his judgment.
Yasuke had sensed the shift in Mitsuhide's demeanor and grew increasingly wary of the samurai lord. However, loyalty to Nobunaga prevented him from openly voicing his concerns. He instead focused on his duties, ever vigilant and ready to protect his lord at a moment's notice.
One fateful evening, the air was heavy with the scent of cherry blossoms, as the Oda clan gathered to celebrate their recent victories. Laughter and the clinking of sake cups filled the air. Unbeknownst to the revelers, Mitsuhide Akechi's treacherous plan was already in motion.
As the sun rose, the first cries of battle rang out. Mitsuhide's forces had launched a surprise attack on Nobunaga's residence at the Honno-ji Temple. The chaos was overwhelming, as friend turned against friend, and the air filled with the acrid smell of smoke and blood.
Yasuke fought his way to Nobunaga's side, his sword cutting through the traitorous samurai with brutal efficiency. The two men made their final stand together, back-to-back, against the relentless onslaught.
In the end, however, they were outnumbered. As Nobunaga fell, mortally wounded, Yasuke continued to fight, but he too was eventually captured. Mitsuhide Akechi, in a twisted display of respect, spared Yasuke's life, acknowledging the loyalty and prowess of the black samurai. Yasuke was sent to the Jesuit missionaries, his future uncertain.
Yasuke's journey had been a remarkable one, from a slave in a foreign land to a trusted advisor and samurai. Despite his extraordinary circumstances, he remained true to himself and his values. His story of strength, resilience, and loyalty would be remembered and honored for generations to come.
Epilogue:
As the sun set on another day in Japan, the whisper of the wind carried the tale of the black samurai, Yasuke, across the land. It would weave its way through the ages, inspiring countless others to rise above adversity and carve their own paths through the storms of life.

Title: The Black Samurai: Yasuke's Odyssey
Prologue: Whispers of a Stranger
The year was 1579. The shores of Kyoto were caressed by the gentle waves of the Sea of Japan, as a strange vessel approached. Aboard the ship, a tall, dark-skinned man with the bearing of a warrior stood, gazing upon the foreign land that would soon become his home. His name was Yasuke, and he had been brought to Japan by the Jesuit missionaries, sold into servitude and torn from his African homeland.
Chapter 1: Nobunaga's Curiosity
Yasuke's arrival in Kyoto was met with awe and fascination. His ebony skin, unlike anything the Japanese had ever seen, drew the attention of the powerful daimyo Oda Nobunaga. Intrigued by the foreigner's strength and demeanor, Nobunaga requested a meeting with Yasuke. The two men found a mutual respect for each other's warrior spirit, and thus, Yasuke was granted a position in Nobunaga's service.
Chapter 2: The Path of the Samurai
As Yasuke adapted to his new life, he faced many challenges. He struggled to learn the language and customs, as well as the intricacies of the samurai code, Bushido. Despite the adversity, his determination to prove himself to Nobunaga and the other samurai never wavered. Gradually, Yasuke honed his skills in swordsmanship and strategy, earning the respect of his peers and the title of samurai.
Chapter 3: A Warrior's Bond
Yasuke's service to Nobunaga brought him into contact with many prominent figures of the time, including Mitsuhide Akechi, a cunning and ambitious samurai lord. While their friendship was built on mutual admiration and shared experiences on the battlefield, a lingering mistrust lingered beneath the surface. Yasuke could not shake the feeling that Mitsuhide's ambitions would one day prove to be a grave threat to Nobunaga and his empire.
Chapter 4: The Taste of Betrayal
The year was 1582. The air hung heavy with tension as Yasuke rode beside Nobunaga to the Honno-ji temple in Kyoto. Unbeknownst to them, Mitsuhide Akechi had orchestrated a coup against Nobunaga, his forces surrounding the temple and setting it ablaze. Trapped within the inferno, Nobunaga chose to commit seppuku, entrusting Yasuke with his sword and his final words.
Chapter 5: The Black Samurai's Vengeance
As the flames consumed the temple, Yasuke vowed to avenge Nobunaga's death. He fought his way out of the burning temple, cutting down Mitsuhide's men with the ferocity of a wounded tiger. In a final confrontation with Mitsuhide, Yasuke's loyalty and honor as a samurai shone through, but he was ultimately captured and spared by Mitsuhide, who could not bring himself to kill the man he had once called a friend.
Epilogue: The Legend Endures
With Nobunaga's death, Yasuke's fate was uncertain. The events that followed his confrontation with Mitsuhide would become the stuff
レンタルブログサービス「Blogger」をご存知だろうか？
ブログサービスを手がける業者は数多くあるけれども、Google本体が行なっているのはBloggerだけ。
そこに書いていたブログが削除された顛末をご紹介したい。
Bloggerはもともとサンフランシスコのパイララボという会社が手がけていたサービスだったが、2003年Googleが買収して今の形になった。
日本では利用者が少ないけれども、SEO対策に優れている（らしい）ことやGoogleAdsenseとの連携が簡単なこともあって、利用者には好評だ。
かくいう私も、現在Bloggerで日本語のブログを240日以上、毎日公開している。
ブログを書く人の目的は様々だと思う。表現欲求を中心に、仲間、人脈を増やしたい人もいるだろうし、顧客を増やしたい法人もいるだろうし、アフィリエイトで儲けたい人もいるだろう。
最近の私の目的は、ブログを書きつつ英語も学ぼう、というもの。
海外の人気サイトを和訳・意訳して紹介するようにしているが、そのうち（海外サイトを紹介するだけでは面白くないよな、日本語サイトにも面白いもの、たくさんあるんだから、それを海外に紹介していこう）
と考えた。
いろいろと逍遥するうちに思い至ったのが「ボケて」（ http://bokete.jp/ ）の英訳だ。
一文が短い、それを訳すのは多少のセンスが要求されるので頭を使う。
それに、海外でもhttp://everythingfunny.org/のようなサイトでも人気のようだ。
他人のふんどしで相撲を取ってやろう、という下世話な感情があったことは否定しない。
（「ボケて」の中でも厳選されたネタを紹介すれば、海外の巨大マーケットからたくさんの人がやってきてウハウハだな！）
というね。
そこは批判されてもしかたない。
ブログの名前は「Silly Captions」にした。
最初はFunny Captionsという名前やStupid Captionsというサイト名にしようとしたが、同じ名前のサイトが多すぎて閉口し、まだ検索数の少ないこのお題に落ち着いた。
お題となる写真を掲載し、そこに英訳したコメントをつけ、その下にアマゾンのアフィリエイトを貼り、その下に、「ボケて」の日本語サイトのリンクを貼る、というシンプルな構成にした。
Bloggerに「ボケて」のリンクを貼ると、ちゃんと元ネタの写真やコメントも表示される。
オリジナルを尊重していたはずだった。
１日目。

のお題についた
「エヴィバディ！セイ！法〜王」
を、
「Everyboooody! Saaaaay!! Pooooope!」
と訳した。
これは単純で訳しやすかった。

のお題についた
「先生がシックスと言う度に振り返ってくる」
を、
「My friend usually looks back to me when the teacher says "Kant".」
と訳した。
英語圏では、sixもsexもありふれている言葉で、そこに子供が敏感に反応することはなかろう、と思って卑語辞典を調べてどうにかそれらしい訳をひねり出すのに呻吟した記憶がある。
３日目

のお題についた
「俺の中の悪魔が『ヒップホップで食っていけ』とささやいている」
を、
「My Daemon whispers to me that Hip Hop is my calling.」
と訳した。
「俺の中の悪魔が……」というコメントと黒人という組み合わせが、海外じゃ人種差別に取られかねない。
そこでソクラテスのダイモーンを持ちだした。また「食っていけ」というのをどう訳すかでも悩み、
calling＝天職を思いつくのにも小一時間かかった。

「ゴルフ場にしましょう！」
（個人的にはこれが一番のツボ）を、
「"Let's dig up tar sands !」
と訳した。
日本人ならゴルフ場開発が環境破壊をするという問題を共有しているが、海外ではそのような声は聞かれないという。
http://ameblo.jp/terfgrass-rd/day-20111206.html
そこでどう訳そうか……といろいろ考えて、この訳にした。
ご存じの方も多いだろうが、北米では、これまで採算が合わずに放置されていたオイルサンドと呼ばれる揮発成分を失った原油の発掘による環境破壊が大きな問題となっている。
トナカイの繁殖地である森を切り開き、表土をまるごと削り取っていくのだから、ゴルフ場開発など目ではない環境破壊が行われているのだ。
http://www.amakanata.com/2012/10/desmogblog_12.html
そこで、こちらの方がわかり易かろう、と思った、自分でも自信作だ。
そして５日目。
http://sillycaptions.blogspot.jpは、ご覧になった通り、一切合切消えてしまった。
なぜ？ Why？
特にアダルトな内容もないのに……。
Googleから届いたメールは、これだけだ。
「Hello, Your blog at http://sillycaptions.blogspot.com/ has been reviewed and confirmed as in violation of our Terms of Service for: SPAM.

それだけ。
他の理由は一切なし。
５日目のボケはうろ覚えだが(キャッシュが残っていないので確かめられない)、

のお題についた
「うるせーババア！だから、初めてのお客様にドモホルンリンクルは売れねえって何度も言ってんだろ！」
を
「Shut up! We, Am*y, couldn't sell you our goods if you brought your friends to our company!」
と訳したものだったはずだ。
ドモホルンリンクルじゃ海外ではわかるまい。
ア*ウェイだったら、海外でもネットワークビジネスというその手法に批判が集まっているので、共感してもらえるだろう。
企業名を出すといろいろとはばかれるので、一部伏字にすれば大丈夫だろう……。
その目論見が、みごとはずれた。
株式会社オモロキ（ボケての運営会社）から、抗議が来たなら、あきらめましょう。
このエントリー自体、はてな匿名ダイアリーから消します。
でもね、まだページビューは50人程度。ほとんど注目されていないのを株式会社オモロキがわざわざみつけて、抗議してきたとは考えられない。
だとすると、Googleが主体的に消したのだろう。
Googleは機械的に作業を行なっているはずだから、一企業に対して批判的なコメントを書けば、ブログ自体を削除するような、そんなプログラムを仕込んでいた、ということか？
Googleは、ア*ウェイのようなお得意さんから批判が届いたら、あっという間にブログ自体を消してしまうのか。
日本のSNSだったら、普通は、メールで詳しい理由をちゃんと説明し、該当記事の削除を要請し、従わないならば削除する、というステップを踏む。
そんなこともなく、一方的に削除して、後は口を拭っておしまい。
それがGoogleという会社のやり口だった。
企業のアカウンタビリティーもへったくれもありゃしない。
先日『スタンフォードの自分を変える教室』という書籍を読んだ。
面白かったのが、
「自分たちは良いことをした、と満足する人間は、そのあと、ちょっとくらいは悪いことをしてもいいとか、自分には悪いことをする権利（ライセンス）がある、などと思い違いをしてしまう」
という記述だ。
ご存知の通り、Googleには「邪悪にならない」をモットーに掲げているけれども、彼らがそれを大声で提唱するうちに、この手の雑なユーザーの取り扱いが慢性的になっているんじゃないだろうか。
そりゃ、オモロキに許諾を得ていない、「ボケて」に転載されている写真そのものに著作権があるのかどうかを確認していないなど、突っ込めば問題はいろいろ出てくるだろう。
しかし、規制のゆるいネットでも、最低これだけは抑えるべきなライン、人種差別やホームページ丸パクリをしたわけでもないのに、これはどういう訳だろう？
私の上記のブログがどういう過ちをしたのかさっぱり分からない。
いきなり何の通告もなく一切合切削除する理由が、まったく分からない。
ネットでの不文律を、私が犯したとは到底、思えないのだ。
