Duration 36:50

N.B.: I did not reference any footnotes.
N.B. 2: I had a much harder time pronouncing the Portuguese names than the Japanese (or even Chinese) ones! Good thing I checked, though, because if I had guessed at the pronunciations, it would have come out as a hodgepodge of vaguely & totally wrong Spanish-ish-ish-sounding stuff. I just hope that I -- as a furrener -- haven't mangled any of these furren-type names too badly.
Nice job with all those pronunciations! Personally, I think Portuguese looks and sounds harder to pronounce than Japanese. Good work though! PL OK!

Great, thanks!

With much regret, due to my current situation, I do not believe I can finish section 17 on time. My sincerest apologies.

It's due July 27. I could extend the deadline by a month. Returning it to the pool would also be perfectly fine. Let me know what you prefer.

Since section 13 is a month past the extended deadline and I haven't heard back from the reader, I'll reopen it and move the project back to Readers Wanted.

Chapter XIII. The Hojo Regency (1199-1333)

At this time, I'm unsure when I'll have a recording space available again. I think you should return it, and I'll volunteer for open work once I can record again. Thank you very much for the opportunity!

I've uploaded Chapter 27 for PL. It's been a little while since I've read, so apologies for any issues. I'm more than happy to re-record as necessary.
