Inari wants to live in peace

Prince's visit to Japan

In Meiji 21, the Japan-Mexico Trade Treaty was signed.

And there were many events such as trading with Mexico, the independence of Ehime prefecture from Kagawa prefecture, and the promulgation of the Constitution of Japan a year later.

My proposal to change the name of the country to the Great Inari Empire also succeeded in keeping Japan as it was.

By and large, my retirement will be farther and farther away.As for me, I want to hide quickly and watch the independent Japanese people from the shadows and live in peace.

And it became the 24th year of the Meiji era.

Our country naturally attaches great importance to environmental protection, as does mine poisoning.

And when a big earthquake occurs, I go to the local area to offer condolences, but now the damage is much less than in the past, thanks to the higher seismic performance.

One day, the Russian Empire Crown Prince Nikolai came to Japan for sightseeing.

Since Japan is highly regarded as a tourist destination, it is not uncommon for foreigners to come here.But even though the Crown Prince has come to lead the fleet, the relationship between the two countries is cool and provocative.

Still, I understand that it is important to show military strength so that other countries can not lick it.So it may be normal in this era to intimidate with your own army.

In modern times, it is not strange to start a war immediately.

If we actually went to North Korea with two steamships, we can also tell from the shelling in return.

Japan can restrain itself, so I don't feel tired and bumpy about being provoked, but I felt that dating a foreign country was such a hassle.

Nevertheless, since the Crown Prince came directly to us in the neighboring country, we cannot treat any further deterioration without waiting for war.

So in the meantime, I decided to give the country a welcome mood even with the appearance.

Not only for me, but also for most Japanese citizens, I was hoping that you would return to your country as soon as possible...

Incidentally, Nicolai's party first stopped at Nagasaki and Kagoshima before landing in Kobe, and then headed for Kyoto.

They may be enjoying their sightseeing trips, but they will be very troubled if something goes wrong during their stay.

Therefore, government officials were treating the Crown Prince and his party badly.

Nevertheless, he managed to proceed without any trouble, enjoying a day trip to Lake Biwa from Kyoto, having a luxurious lunch at the Shiga Prefectural Government Office, and a few days later, coming to Tokyo, the capital of Japan.

The current Prime Minister, Masayoshi Matsukata, and many other officials welcomed Mr. Nicolai and even went to the Imperial Palace to have a quiet conversation with him.

It was me, but I refused because I didn't want to meet with you.

However, I was forced to accept that it was only for a short period of time because I persistently requested a visit, and I had to face each other during my usual visit.

"You're the Little Princess. It's a pleasure to meet you."

"Here too, Mr. Nicolai."

It's just a social resignation.

However, it will probably not be conveyed to Nicolai in her early twenties, who has a very floating expression.

Sitting on a luxurious cushion laid on a high tatami mat, I exhale in my heart.

"I've heard the rumors."

"Rumor?"

It seems that meeting the Nicolais here is one of the political and national rushes, but I am not willing to negotiate a treaty.

But even a mascot character with a good appearance stands at the top of Japan.So it is troublesome to have to show your face when the great man comes out.

... I said something stupid, but this time it was just a face-to-face chat, so it was easy and there was nothing else to talk about, so I asked frankly about the rumors.

"The goddess of love pushes Japan and Australia to become technological powers and promotes a policy of harmony with other countries.... that's you. "

It is certainly no wonder that people who live in this age value me.

But I was afraid of the goddess of love.I want to say that I bought it too much, but I don't bother to put it in my mouth.

In the first place, I pursued a policy of harmony to avoid war and to avoid sending my own people to their deaths.

It's all coming from my wagamma, so I feel a little sorry for not thinking deeply.

Moreover, even when colonized and profited, with the rise of the independence movement, it became increasingly ineffective.

Even when I watched TV news and so on in Japan in the future, I bought resentment from other countries, and there were many patterns of being caught up in unrest, so I decided that it would be better to be a bystander without trying as much as possible.

"I'm just picking a path that will help Japan in the future."

No matter how long I lived, my head didn't get much better, and I didn't know difficult things like politics and negotiation.

And I often wonder if the path I've taken so far was really the right one.

But fortunately, it doesn't seem to have any immediate effect, so I smiled quietly in front of Prince Nicolai without disturbance or dust.

"I'm really jealous. If Little Princess could stay in the Russian Empire..."

"Unfortunately, Nicolai's country is too big for me."

"Hahaha, my Russian Empire is proud of the size of its land."

Even the supreme ruler of a small island nation says hehehe every time, but there is no protection of the sea, reaching out to the land power, etc., so it is not very difficult, but it cannot be turned around.

"To be honest, I have Japan to spare.

It is only because the people want it that they still remain the supreme ruler. "

The truth is, I want to retire immediately, but the people say I don't like being the supreme ruler, so I hold the position of god emperor.

Nicolai seemed to know that, and smiled nicely as she looked at us.

"Now, if Little Princess is to leave, please come to the Russian Empire.

I'd like to welcome you to my country. "

"... let's think about it."

Finally, the conversation with the Nikolai family ended.

They quickly left between the eyes, and the next day they returned to the Russian Empire with lots of souvenirs.

Anyway, I'm glad the big event ended without a problem.

However, apart from that, since Japan has transitioned to democratic politics with the return of government, the monarchy that is known as the monarchy cannot last forever.

Unlike the Tokugawa shogunate, if I make a big mistake, I will be easily removed from my current position.

In fact, it is desirable to withdraw while being spared, but the world will not succeed so well, and in case of accidental insurance, the asylum to the Russian Empire may also be an ant.

After the Nikolai family left, the amount of offerings received from all over the country somehow increased dramatically.

Without realizing its sincerity, I would like to stay in Japan if possible, but I don't know what the future will be... and I thought of a comfortable relocation plan as I lay down on the futon.

In Meiji 27, the neighboring North Korea began to stink, and there was a large-scale civil unrest called the First Afternoon Peasant War.

Incidentally, this matter was completely untouched in Japan, so please stay happy with Kiyokuni forever.

For some reason, Japanese public opinion is also in favor of it, so national communication remains cut off.After all, it was a reaffirmation of the great significance of the people's respect for Inari God in terms of unity of will.

If you look at the rudder in the wrong direction, there is no waiting for sinking from the grounding, so the desire to quickly retreat and be released from this heavy pressure becomes even stronger.

There was another reason to push my will, and Japan and Australia were cooperative.

Excellent partners who can be happy together have existed for centuries, even if they didn't go all the way to North Korea to pick up chestnuts in the fire.

At the same time, Hokkaido, Birch Tai, the Chijima Islands, and Okinawa, which have been developed, are also part of Japan, and even if they did not go all the way to the mainland, they were not in any trouble with resources at all.

Besides, I've somehow seen how chaotic North Korea is now from a third-party perspective.

First, the minds of the powers of the United States, Western Europe, and even East Asia and Kiyokuni are intricately intertwined, each causing a violent civil unrest in the DPRK by sending weapons and ammunition and others to secure future profits.

I don't know if Kiyogoku is weak or North Korea is strong, but the longer the civil unrest continues, the more disturbing the domestic situation is.

Japan also experienced a Meiji Sanriku earthquake, which was very mild, but the damage was suppressed by earthquake-resistant construction.

And by dispatching the militia immediately, or by going to my condolences, there was less confusion and quick recovery.

In 1898, the Buddhist Buddhist Buddhist movement broke out.

Although this has the backing of various foreign countries, it may have paralyzed Kiyogoku, which is unable to suppress the civil unrest in Korea.

That's why the Kiyomikazu group, which holds the Ascension Ocean high in heaven, stood up.

By the way, it is meant to help the Qing Dynasty destroy the West, and it seems to be a slogan used by nationalists against the advance of Western forces in the late Qing Dynasty in China.

Moreover, even though the Kyakami group alone was troublesome, the Western Empress of Kiyokuni supported the rebellion and declared war on June 21 on the Western countries, so it spread to the inter-state war.

As for me, watching the very chaotic situation in East Asia from the outside in real time, I want to push into it.

In this way, less than two months after the declaration of war, the situation will become even more confusing.

The Seven Kingdoms Allied Army has entered Beijing for the protection of embassies and residents in Beijing.

Incidentally, the United States is composed of seven countries: the Russian Empire, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, the French Republic, the United States of America, the German Empire, the Kingdom of Italy and the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

The opposite side of Kiyokuni is Yoshikazu, Kiyoshi.In total, there was one country and one organization.

Honestly, isn't that the coalition side?... but Kiyokuni has an overwhelming arsenal of weapons, and in reality, it seems to have struggled with a lot of arming.

This war, which began in early June, ended the following September.

So Kiyokuni fought against a coalition of great powers for over a year.
