Inari wants to live in peace

One day in the year 2200 A.D.

I told the people concerned that I had some errands that I couldn't take off, and I went out from Inari Taisha by myself without escorting them.

It was headed to Nagayama Village at the foot of the shrine where I lived hundreds of years ago.

Now widely known as Inari-sama's birthplace instead of its name, it is a lively place visited by many tourists every day.

(I don't remember my parents' address and it's quite different from the original landscape.... probably around here)

As a precaution, I prepared and disguised myself as a man and lurked in the bush by the stairs of Inari Shrine's approach.

Not only do you listen to the people crossing the main street in front of you, but you also take off your deeply worn baseball cap and clear your fox ears.

Then, a small animal's footsteps were heard from a place not so far away.

"Watch out!"

At the same time as I noticed, I heard the cry of a young woman and hurriedly turned to you.

(… as expected!)

There, a girl student dressed in a local public high school is about to rush out, and a small fox stands in surprise in front of a car that runs with momentum in the middle of the road.

The moment I saw it, I jumped out of the hidden bush and rescued the little fox at a speed beyond my sight.

With that momentum, I stopped suddenly in front of the girl high school student I was trying to help.

A step by mistake, the passenger car that was jumping a little fox or a girl student passed by safely without noticing that I ran through like a wind.

"Wow! Are you... Inari-sama!?"

"No, I'm Fox, the mysterious heroin passing by."

"... eh!?"

In front of the obviously confused girl student, she took off her baseball cap to clarify her fox ear and realized that she had discovered her identity, and she regretted it in her heart as usual inadvertently.

It would not be a good idea for me or this kid to stay here too long, although I deceived him with an aggressive pseudonym.

Besides, I'll return the little fox to you.

"Ah, well... this kid... I don't have it."

Still, I pushed the little fox against her, jumped back to the bush where she was hiding, put on a baseball cap, and then took care of the pre-prepared pet carry.

"Um... why are you doing this?"

Return to the girl student and gently place the fox in Carrie.

I talked slightly up, so I thought a little and slowly opened my mouth.

"It doesn't make any sense. Somehow."

"Hah... somehow?"

After confirming that Carrie was properly locked, give her a piece of paper.In addition to the signature of Inari God, it said that the breeding expenses were free of charge.

Since a lot of passers-by have gathered from the other day, and we are watching the timing of talking, it is not good to stay here any longer.

I have decided to have you free at an early date.

"Well, thank you for taking care of the little fox!"

"Heh? Ah... wait...!"

The girl said something in a hurry, but I jumped without listening.

At the next moment, he stood on the roof of a nearby private house, flying like a ninja and trying to leave at a high speed.

I watch my back, make sure that I'm far enough away from the girl student and not attached to anyone, and then dance silently to the unpopular back alley.

(I didn't feel strange from the fox, was it different?)

If you'd sent me to the past, I'd have expected him to be a fox.But even if you were Inari God, you didn't feel much power.

But, well, if I find the real God, I'm not going to do anything.

I decided to go out today because my little fox and I were more likely to have a traffic accident, and I wanted to help... if possible.

(But what did you really want to do?)

I can't find any reason why I said this is because I always act on the spot.

I also thought about finding the existence that sent me in the past and asking me to return to the original era, but now the Inari Taisha Shrine in Tokyo is my home, and it is clear which is my home in more than a decade or a few hundred years.

(Well, anyway, I'm glad my life and that of Little Fox were saved.)

Only memories about relationships are beautiful and forgetful, but luckily they don't deteriorate after hundreds of years, so I can remember them clearly.

It is also known that the traffic accident occurred near my former home in Nagayama Village, although the place name has changed now.

It was therefore relatively easy to identify future accident scenes.

And I instinctively understood that a normal girl student like the one I met earlier was me.

But I don't think I'll ever see you again.

(Because of my personality, you don't want to be treated differently.)

If I go to see her often, she will undoubtedly be special.

And it's never acceptable, as you can see from your original personality, which hasn't changed in hundreds of years.

Because they are ordinary people with no external power, if they succeed, they will suffer from mental illness and have a stomach attack.So it's best to forget we met today and walk each other's lives.

"Hah... I want to retire and become a normal girl."

For the first time in a long time, the cry of a soul that used to be an ordinary girl high school student came to my mouth, but this is the true truth that remains unchanged.

Beginning in 2200, it was an unknown territory that I did not know, and the obscure knowledge of history was no longer of any use.

I still have a headache when I think about Japan and the rest of the world who still believe in the Inari myth.

I don't know when I can really quit.... and releases the usual seizure.After wearing the baseball cap again, he walked slowly toward our Inari Taisha shrine in Tokyo.
