Inari wants to live in peace

On May 11, 1951, the time was 6: 40 a.m.

Seven hundred eighty-one passengers and sixty crew members sailed carefully in the thick fog, which was barely visible, in Shiyunmaru, which had just left Takamatsu Port in Kagawa Prefecture.

On the other hand, I said that it was boring to have a clear cage in the cabin, so I brought a guard and a caretaker to protect the surroundings and came to the deck.

The surroundings are wrapped in thick fog, but if you close your eyes, you can see without any problems.But perhaps humans can hardly see the future.

The fog is thick.

I went outside the cabin and came to the deck, but I usually played with the caretaker on cartoons, light novels, or mobile gaming consoles.

But now that I'm traveling, I always need to be mindful of others' eyes.Even if it was in the cabin, it would be wise to refrain from any action that would cause the image of the Emperor to decline without knowing when visitors would arrive.

I hope you enjoy your cruise to the fullest, but today's weather is unfortunately thick fog.

I can see without any problems, but it is not clear weather and I feel terribly disappointed that this is something different.

Originally, the blue sky and large sea plains should be spreading, but the thick fog on one side makes little sense to come out on the deck.

In this case, it might be better to take it to the cabin and lie down in bed.

However, it is not everyone's fault that the weather is bad.My thoughtless remarks do not mean that the captain and crew of the Shizumo Maru are not worried.

So before I say anything extra, I look around and look for something to cheer up my sailing.

Then I noticed that a large ship was heading straight for us, and I wondered why.

"There's a big ship coming in here."

"Inari-sama! What the hell is that!?"

Kintetsu and the caretaker will get stuck with me, so I will quickly point my finger at them.

Look around the starboard stern over there.

Anyone who hears the story will stare at you.However, only a pure white mist appeared, and after observing it for about ten seconds, he looked at me again with a troubled expression.

So I realized that there was a difference between the vision of the fox daughter and that of the human being, and I put out a pale flame from the tip of my right hand, not only to fly to the sky, but also to scatter the thick fog around with the wind pressure.

As a result, the surroundings were illuminated brightly like noon, and all those on deck noticed that a large cargo ship was approaching us with great momentum.

Unfortunately, however, since the ship was about to collide with the stern on the starboard side, it was already too late.

In terms of this, everyone was surprised, including me, who was so swallowed.

However, it is too late to realize the seriousness of the situation. Even if the large ships were advised at the time of discovery, they would not be able to change course in time, and there is no doubt that they collided in the end.

I don't know how many Shura halls I've dived in, and the immortal body is only brave together, so I sort out the situation and give instructions to the surroundings without rushing.

"Request rescue from the Japanese government and the Maritime Self-Defense Forces!Evacuation guidance for passengers and crew...!? "

Before I finished telling them everything, the purple cloud circle's hull rocked with a roar.

Fortunately, the fox's daughter's sense of balance was incredible, so she did not roll over.However, those around them were either crawling on all fours or holding their bodies with both hands.

Still, it was fortunate that the advice was forthcoming in time and that no one had been thrown into the sea.

However, for a while, I stroked my chest down, and the next collision sounded loud enough to tremble my tympanic membrane, and my feet were shaking again.

I feel that an important part of the ship has been damaged and exploded, and I understand that there is no longer a moment's grace until it sinks.

Without staying on the deck where the lifeboat was installed or evacuating to the colliding large ship, I took a big step in anticipation of the ship in order to defy the flow of people rushing in with fear.

"Wait! Where are you going?"

"I will look at the damaged area.You will assist the crew in evacuating the passengers. "

I'd be fine if I jumped into a harmful substance, and I wouldn't die if I sank to the bottom.

So from now on, if you go where the holes are open, and if you can twist the metal with the power of your fox daughter, seal the watertight bulkhead or watertight door, or even replace your body with a lid to slow down the flooding rate, you can earn time until the rescue arrives.

"We will accompany you!"

"I appreciate that. But in a human being ─ ─"

"Rest assured, you will never get your feet together!"

That said, the guard and the caretaker rolled up the cloth that had been fixed to the deck, and beneath it was a reinforced exoskeleton, a new equipment that had just begun to be deployed to the militia.

It's not yet sophisticated, it's a slender space suit, and it's just the wrong kind of rug, but it's sealed, so if you wear it, you won't drown and you'll be protected from harmful substances.

"Thank you for coming. Then we don't have time, so I'll go first."

If you are so determined, there is nothing to say from me.

I feel like I've witnessed a baby standing on two feet from the high altitude, somehow to let Kintetsu move freely.

And just because I couldn't lose, I was even more motivated to do rescue work, and I rushed out with great momentum.

Ah! Wait a minute ─ ─

"Hurry, we have to put it on!Our show ─ ─ "

"Damn it! The activation sequence is too long ─ ─"

I heard a cry from behind that I didn't know whether it was anger or scream, but I turned against the flow of people and hurried ahead.

Even if I crossed passengers in a narrow corridor, I couldn't afford to respond long now.

Run through the crowds with dexterity, and even aim for the stern, relying on intuition and sound.

"There is a power outage on board.Was the wiring cut or was the engine room hit? "

Since the ship is wrapped in darkness, I fixed the fox fire in the form of an arrow and placed it at my feet. I even advanced.

It won't go away when you step on it, it's not hot, so if you rely on this pale light to evacuate, you can get to the deck without getting lost.From there, if we follow the instructions of the crew and move to the large ship that collided with us, our lives will be saved.

However, in the event of flooding, it should be closed by a watertight door or bulkhead, but for some reason, there is currently a power outage.

I exhaled in my mind that this might need to be closed manually.

And in films, cartoons, and novels that deal with such situations, the blockade stays flooded in time in the 19th century, and the situation gets worse.

Above all, the fox ears picked up the sound of water flowing with great momentum, so I realized that I hated the rather unpleasant situation.

Otherwise, the children left behind in the cabin will hear screams and crying, so I will stop many times along the way and I will be lost in choosing my own behavior if I should turn to evacuation guidance.

But abandoning the big ones to save the little ones is just a waste of casualties.

I think so, but there may be nothing I can do when I reach the damaged spot.

When I was caught in the crossfire and my footsteps got heavier, I finally stopped completely, and I noticed a lot of crew rushing away from the front.

They were dirty and wet everywhere, and as soon as they saw me, they came together as Inari gods and talked aloud in disturbance.

"Inari-sama, this is dangerous!Head to deck now! "

As soon as the water gets more and more, I immerse myself in the cold sea water and look at them and think a little.

"Is there anyone behind here who's running late?"

"What? Ah... no, we're the last!"

Then I asked the crew members who thought they had just arrived from the deepest corner to be serious.

"Now we need to evacuate the children left behind in the cabin.

You won't be able to reach the lifejacket vault, so make sure you don't overlook it while you help. "

Having finished what I had to say, I stopped and decided to move forward and ran out again with the sound of water.

Then, the passengers who had just passed by hurriedly turned around and called out.

"Inari! If you close the watertight bulkheads and doors in the engine room, you will gain time to flood!Please let me explain the manual operation! "

After I thought about it, I listened to his explanation saying that it would be helpful, and somehow understood the location of watertight bulkheads and the way of manual operation.

And by the time I finished my lecture in less than a few minutes, the water had already entered my waist, and I finally realized that time was running out.

Believing that there is no one ahead, I will manually lower the nearby watertight bulkhead.

It's just like the boundary between you and him, and you can't see each other.

Good luck Inari!

"It's okay. I won't die."

Before the bulkhead fell, the crew members who remained to explain had a sad look.

Among those who left for evacuation, there were many things to salute and worship, but they didn't go to the battlefield.

And I wasn't dying, so I was split and relaxed.

Finally, it is difficult to seal the bulkhead with normal manual operation with the incoming water flow. Therefore, it may be grasped with both hands and lowered with a force technique.

It was possible to push because I was a fox daughter, but if I could earn a little time until sinking, it would have been Yoshi anyway.

After that, it seemed that the sea water had finally entered so that it was difficult to walk, and I took a deep breath somehow with the habit of being a human around my shoulders.

Then sink your face from the water and swim with your hands and feet like water.

(It's kind of weird that it doesn't hurt underwater.)

Thoughtfully, he moves his hands and feet violently, swimming the boat at an astonishing speed of a professional swimmer.

But along the way, I remembered that by releasing the fox fire from both hands and feet with great momentum, I created something that I was not sure whether it was jet water flow or propulsion, and exploded at an incredible speed.

I ran into the wall several times along the way, but arrived at the damaged engine room sooner than swimming normally. I glanced and looked around.

(The engine room is completely Oshaka and I can see the sea outside.

But the doors and bulkheads are open, but they seem to be safe.... Yoshi!)

When I do a meaningless brawl in the water, if I grasp the thick watertight door with my small hands, I exert the power of a fox daughter without violent water flow, and manually operate against the flow with a jet of fox fire, thus completing the blockade easily.

Speaking of being careful, the door and bulkhead were not damaged, so it was enough to grasp them with some effort.

However, perhaps not one area was flooded by collisions or explosions.

Even if the main stream is stopped, as long as the tributary remains, it is only temporary time to buy, and the sinking of the purple cloud circle is inevitable.

(But anyway, I've earned time, and I hope the Japanese government and the militia rescue will be in time.)

While returning to the original path with jet water flow, I feel relieved that I was able to fulfill my original purpose.

However, there was no time to rest, and the next time I tried to close the watertight door of the tributary, I went against the flow again.

Later, this incident was largely covered in TV news and newspapers as a purple cloud accident.

After all, it must have been a painful accident because sinking was inevitable, but even if the injured came out, the casualties were miraculously zero.

It also attracted the attention of Inari God, who had earned time until the rescue arrived, and Kintetsu, who wore a reinforced exoskeleton.

While the fox daughter was heading to the engine room to stop the main stream, Kintetsu and the crew worked together to close the watertight doors and bulkheads of the tributaries and prevent the circle from falling from the outside.

Thanks to this, the evacuation of the crew and passengers proceeded smoothly and the sinking was extended until the rescue boat arrived.

At that time, the presence of multiple crew members and passengers who appeared to be accustomed to rough events also played a role in suppressing fear of sinking and confusion.

In addition, the rapid dispatch of rescue convoys by the Japanese government and the Maritime Self-Defense Forces was also covered, and the tragic ship accident was rewritten into bright news.

It was the opposite of the Toyamaru accident that occurred in 1952, and caused a lot of noise throughout Japan.

Looking back last year, I initially planned to ride Toyamaru.However, the government has rescheduled the optimal travel route, so you have to cancel.

I omitted to explain that it had nothing to do with me last year, but I didn't really want to remember.

Had I been on the scene at that time, I wonder if the number of casualties could have been reduced a little.

Nevertheless, regret does not mean that more than a thousand victims will return.

By eating a large number of Shikoku souvenirs as a gift, I forcefully switch the thinking that was about to turn backwards.

The past cannot be changed, but the future is important.If I encountered an incident, accident or disaster, I vowed to move as far as I could to help more people than those who were killed in the Toyamaru accident.

Still, if I wasn't drunk but drunk and had a good rest, I almost forgot my vows yesterday, and I could only remember the fluffy content of helping people in need when I saw them.

I'm still feeling refreshed, so I don't know what it is, but anyway, Yoshi!He murmured with a bright smile and got up from the futon and headed for the usual morning jog.

Anyway, that brings the story back to the modern era, but there were not many people who had suffered a split due to the purple cloud accident.

In the same year, in the 1930s, the crowned luxury car made a record big hit in a foreign country.

The media in all of Japan cover only the Purple Cloud Maru accident, so no matter how great a record is set, it was hardly reported.

Therefore, Aichi's automobile manufacturers celebrated in detail at a party venue where only family members gathered.

But I jumped into a car manufacturer's party, and I hated not being correctly valued for what I did.

And please continue to work hard.I support you.... and gave the president a medal and a medal to encourage him with a smile.
