Inari wants to live in peace

Autumn is passing and cold winter is coming. Basically, the office space remains the same as in the open house. The private room is only the warehouse next to the entrance, and then there is only a large room centered on the charcoal enclosed in a higher place.

So I was burning charcoal to keep warm.

In fact, many village carpenters came together and suggested that it would be better to make it a more splendid building, but it would be difficult to clean if it was too big.

So, as in the first house, we took measures against the appearance, skeleton, gap wind and rain leakage, and had them put together very carefully.

If you are not convinced at all, I suggested that we renovate the main hall where the gods are located, so now it is no longer worn out and can prevent the storm.

The wolf hut next door also closes wooden windows and human entrances in winter, restricting access only through the lower window.

And now, a few punks gather in front of the hearth, each round and overlapping, each warming up.

Originally, I was looking for a family that fell out of my memory, but now it's completely adapted to the Sengoku era and fills the gap in my mind.

"Winter mountains are dangerous, so worshippers are gone."

Remove additional charcoal with iron chopsticks whispering to himself, retreat the disturbing ash with a burning stick, and push it into the hall enclosure.

There have been a lot of things since I came here at the end of the summer, but I feel like I've finally come to a close.

Even if you can't remember your family or friends, sometimes you miss them because you can't go back to modern Japan, but now there are cute dogs and people in the village at the foot who take care of you.

So I'm not sad enough to cry like a child.

"I wonder if this silence is only in the winter."

Today we cook in the furnace in the middle of the large room, not in the kamado, which is just outside the front door.The whole house is closed to keep warm, but it is colder than the foot because it stands high in the house.

I've been putting charcoal in all day, but it gets colder as I go away, so I didn't want to stay away from warm places like the wolves.

Incidentally, it seems that there are quite a few punks immersed in the nearby hot springs during the winter, and I was really surprised to see that this is a zoo...

"My rumors seem to be spreading, and what happens next year?"

I barely know where I live other than Mikawa, as always.I am not actively involved in history, and I am not interested in the world in the first place.

Now that we are in the middle of the Sengoku period, it is good luck to spend a great deal of time without doing extra things.

And when it comes to the peaceful Edo period, I feel comfortable thinking that it would be good to take a crocodile everywhere for sightseeing.

I would like to emphasize that I have only preceded the times a little and not done so much about what I have already done.

However, due to the recent surge in worshippers, what happens when the snow melts in spring, the village blacksmith puts a walnut cake on the wire mesh that he made to order, and bakes it with charcoal fire. From now on, he is terrified of war.

One day, Honda Tadakatsu came to the house after climbing the mountain in this cold weather.

It seems to be a cold weapon for winter, but I wonder if it is really warm from a modern perspective, such as straw equipment.

By the way, there were several other people accompanying him, and when he answered the call and saw me face to face with the door open, everyone was surprised and stiff, and Honda decided to do it.

"It must have been cold outside.I can't offer you a lot of hospitality, but please come inside. "

Now Inari-sama, if you'll excuse me.

Well, then, something.

"Thank you for your help."

I was surprised to see the wolves surrounding the enclosure, but when I told them that I was going down to the hut for a while, they all quietly headed for the small window made under the earth and quickly left without a single one, to the large dog hut adjacent to the other side of the wall.

I turn to the visitor again and invite myself to take off the waste first and go up to the tatami mat in the big room...

When Honda took off her cold shield and put it in the right place, she walked boldly with a nice smile. Others felt surprised and lowered their hips to the place they wanted to surround the hearth.

I was expecting a lot of guests one day, so I was glad to have a pancake cushion for all of them, so I stroked my chest down.

It is a secret to them that all but my usual bedding is for the dog while it is round here.

I'm sorry about the hot water.

"No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no

To prevent indoor drying, boiling water is poured sequentially into each cup from the pottery yakan placed in the enclosure.

Since Honda, who is dyeing his face red, brought him in, I will pour his share first.

Repeat for everyone and I'll go down to the ground to replenish the water bottle.Then, when the capacity is restored to full, it reappears on the tatami mat and hangs in the furnace.

"How merciful of you to think about replacing the hot spring!"

"No, this is to keep the room humid"

"Ha, ha? Well, Inari-sama. What is humidity?"

Nothing is too annoying to complain about with a cup or two of white water, but because Honda overrated me, I was strangely embarrassed and aggressively denied it.

However, instead of understanding the humidity during the Sengoku period, I realized that there was no concept itself, but after speaking, I realized it further.

"Humidity is the amount of moisture that drifts into the atmosphere.Higher humidity makes the air moist and lower humidity makes it dry. "

"Hmm... I see?"

Do you know or not? I broke into various pieces to explain to people in this era that it is easy to understand, but it is still difficult to teach.

In the meantime, it seems that Mr. Honda has somehow understood, so he lowered his hips on his cushion just before the end.

Then, a boy in a fine Japanese dress of his age called out with a feeling of fear.

"Inari-sama, why are you trying to maintain indoor humidity?"

"To prevent dryness in your throat, nose, or skin.

Too low a humidity can increase your risk of coughing, asthma, rough skin, and other medical conditions. "

Everyone is looking at us with a poker face, but I don't think I can explain the concept of a cold or flu virus during the winter in any detail to people in this era.

So anyway, it's the only way to get people to accept it.When it comes to my advice, there is no credibility like curses, prayers, or strange medicines, but it is proven in Japan in the future that the effects will always appear if implemented.

"Ah, um, is that true?"

"I believe it is true.If it bothers you, why don't you try it? "

Oh, yeah.

The boy sitting next to Mr. Honda is thinking of something, but I have a white water for myself with a strange face.

Since the tea available in the world is a luxury product, I thought it might be interesting to prototype tampon tea and bamboo tea that can be easily made if I had the opportunity….

"By the way, where did you come from and for what purpose?"

Phew... I just took a breath, and when I asked you really further questions, everybody was together, ah!It turns into an inadvertent expression.

They must have been surprised to see the real Inari-sama, and they must have completely forgotten to introduce themselves, and felt so clearly.
