Inari wants to live in peace

Tadakatsu Honda

In Nagayama village, a toddler who calls himself Inari God appeared.

Rumors of such a lie began to spread under Okazaki Castle.

Your Majesty is an enemy plot.Or even though I thought he was a fool to call himself God, I told everyone that I was curious about the policy of having a detective explore him in the meeting room.

I was at the meeting and my job was finished, so I'll go and check it out myself!And he made a majestic name.

His Majesty was greatly surprised, but he thought he wouldn't listen if he stopped, and ordered a scouting mission with a bitter smile.

The deadline was ten days, and by then I had sent a nail saying to come back, and then I handed over the street bank and sent it out pleasantly.

And now, I was riding a horse on an unrepaired street and heading to the rumored village of Nagayama.

"A monster named Inari Goddess, a dragonfly of an awkward man!"

The scouting mission has a time limit of ten days, so you can't relax that much, so you can run straight through the streets without stopping by and cross several gates.

When I checked the position of the sun, I thought it was almost noon, and when I asked my men how much longer it was, they said they had come close to getting to Nagayama Village without running a horse for an instant.

Speaking of which, I felt that the atmosphere had changed, and when I looked around, it was clear that there were more people crossing the street.

My men whispered to me that they felt different from the lonely streets they had been on until now.

Are you a visitor to Toganja Shrine in Ichinomiya, Mikawa?

I think about the doubt while following the clumsy, while running the horse.

Certainly, as far as we can investigate beforehand, there is a famous shark deer shrine in Mikawaguni, a little far from Nagayama Village, so famous that there are no strangers.

It is reasonable to assume that the purpose of people crossing the street is to worship them.

But we can't just imagine things.

It is only in reconnaissance missions that credible information is brought back.

In case, no... a hundred million is not a sharp deer shrine, but people who come to the rumored Inari god may be mixed up.

So the awkward person stops moving and observes the surroundings for a while.

And then I happened to see a middle-aged couple walking in the opposite direction to the awkward while talking pleasantly, and immediately called out to them.

"I'd like to ask them a few questions, okay?"

"Whoa, Samurai!? Yes, of course!"

These are linen clothes, not armored samurai.Still, everybody has a sword and a spear, so it must be scary.

But the middle-aged couple gave me a clear answer to this question, even though they pulled back a little.

"Do you want to worship?"

Oh, that's right.

Then, I may have gone to the sharp deer shrine.

Having heard that, both the selfish and the subordinates are convinced that their predictions are correct for now.

If so, did you go to the sharp deer shrine?

"Yes, I did visit the Reindeer Shrine ─ ─"

There is no doubt that I visited the sharp deer shrine.No, but for some reason I suddenly had a bad tooth cut.

Seeing such an obviously cowardly couple, one of his subordinates hurries to speak quickly when he looks irritated.

Then they sat down on the ground, screaming small, and desperately lowered their heads and burst out in a hurry.

"I was only able to worship Inari God for my taboos!

So please! Please help me save my life! "

The couple rub their heads against the ground many times and apologize, but honestly, I don't know why they would do such a thing, and my men are very confused.

However, as this is not clear, tell her that she is not willing to take her life, and let her stop apologizing and raise her face.

And he asks frankly why he is so scared.

"It is forbidden to worship the false of Inari God or to believe in the wrong teachings.

A few days ago, the monks in our village began to say that Buddhist punishment would come if they were torn ─ ─ "

A decent religious organization should be disciplined, clean and proper in the first place.

However, the traditional sect of reality was overflowing with corruption and bribery of the upper echelons, and it was not so strange to scatter all the bullying that the end boy liked from this time forward.

(It's the end of the world to brazenly break ancestral discipline and be unaware of the spread of bribery and embezzlement)

Still, the middle-aged couple believe in the teachings of Buddha from the bottom of their hearts, and Mikawa has always been a powerful sect.

If you have eyes for surveillance, don't let them agitate you because you have spoken out of circumvention.

(Anyway, I've never been more vigilant.We must refrain from discouraging the traditional sect.)

We should finish collecting information as soon as possible, even though we hope that the middle-aged couple will not have any trouble getting rid of the monks.

As a precaution, I let my subordinates keep an eye out for people around me, but I coughed up a little and decided to get down to business.

"By the way, how was the Inari god...?"

"Ah, um... what do you think?"

In the current question, the middle-aged couple are confused whether it is too complicated to get the guidelines.

And because I have no intention of denying their faith, I will follow Inari God even here and now, and ask him frankly.

"Is God Inari real or fake?What do you think? "

"Whatever you say... hey, you?"

"That's right, Inari God was unmistakably authentic."

A middle-aged woman who had remained silent until now opened her mouth and came together to say that her husband was more agreeable, shaking her head vertically many times.

In other words, at least the couple looked like real gods, people who called themselves Inari gods.

But no matter how much God and Buddha are believed to exist, I cannot swallow the testimony of just one middle-aged couple.

Well, what makes you think it's Inari God?

"because it enriched our lives."

Perhaps the Inari God can do a miracle.

Rain or freely manipulate the weather to cure injuries and illnesses.It is possible for God and Buddha to wave beyond people, but I wonder what kind of abilities they use and ask in a little more detail.

"What does it mean to enrich your life?"

But if they used that power to enrich people's lives, it seems natural for them to believe.

"He spread the pulley and the washboard."

"... huh?"

Not only myself, but even my men who are watching the surroundings, are badly confused and their movements are stiff.

I wondered what pulleys and washing boards were, but perhaps they were tools and knowledge.

But when I was asked if I would be honored as a god just by spreading it, it was a big question.

"So, what's your miracle as a god?"

"Of course, there are anecdotes where the Inari God caused a direct miracle."

"Oh, I see!"

Every time I hear something, I get confused and honestly don't know whether it's a monster, a god, a con artist, or an enemy strategy.

Incidentally, I don't know, but it's a very impressive evaluation of a fox daughter anyway.

But I can't bring home such a scattered substitute with no shards of credibility, even though I was ordered to gather information.

It was about time I wanted something that was grounded, so I finally felt relieved to see a middle-aged couple with a confident look.

"The Inari gods were always following the wolf herd, cutting off the head of the big pig with a knife, slicing his belly and taking out the built-in by hand."

"Doesn't it bring plenty of richness?Isn't this like a god of war!? "

But it's impossible for ordinary people.

But if this is the case, it can be the basis for the fact that mankind has reached the realm of God that cannot be defeated with regard to combat abilities.

However, it is not the five grains that are rich, but the balance leans towards the raging gods and you.

When I received the explanation from the middle-aged couple, I didn't just want to brag about the power, but I understood that by pulling out the blood and removing the built-in, the meat smell is eliminated and it is difficult to rot, but the way is too rough for that.

However, it seems that Inari God was a dakini heaven before he came to Japan, so I reconsidered that he could be good at fighting and being good at it.

"We dug deep wells with clear water in just one day and made pulleys to reduce the burden of pumping water."

"The gods of water and wisdom mixed together?"

There are eight million gods in this country, each in a different interest.

However, it is not so unusual to have multiple protections like Amaterasu Daishin.

But it was too much to add war, wisdom and water to the Inari god, who was already worshipped as the god of farming.

"Thanks to the spread of washing boards, water conservation and dirt removal have improved and time has been reduced."

Don't say anything anymore.

It certainly enriches people's lives, but the mystery is only deepening.But there's only one thing I know.

"Apparently, he's not the god of farming."

"No, farming tools appear to be ready soon."

"Oh... I see."

All I could do was whisper.

Somehow, if you believe all their stories, you will become an all-powerful god covering all fields.

I'm not absent, but I can only do that with the supreme god of Buddha and Japanese mythology.

"I was told by a woodworker on site that if we put thousand teeth into practice, we would spend less than half the time on grain removal."

"What! Is that true!?"

"Because it is a tool devised by Inari God. I'm sure."

They seem to have no doubt about Inari.

But now I'm convinced it's impossible for me and my men to talk about it.

Because Inari God produces great technology and tools, but does not hide them or use them for profit.

Anyway, spread it around for free.

Always striving to enrich people's lives without asking for anything in return.

And they are trying to turn God's work into a practical technology for people, and they are trying to realize their desire to be rich in five grains with their own hands.

As always, I don't know what she's up to, but at least it's clear that the handicapped aren't human enemies.

In the little conversation with the middle-aged couple, I was obsessed, but I saw the Inari God.

"The Inari god has also become interested in me."

"Inari God is a cute little child, producing fox ears and tails."

The appearance of Inari gods heard from the middle-aged couple was consistent with rumors of Okazaki Castle.In other words, it is likely to be a real person.

In addition, I asked Nagayama village and the detailed place where the person is, and gave them a little money as an information fee to break up.

The aim is to be the office in the middle of the mountain, and I want to gain the confidence that Inari God is authentic by looking directly at it.The possibility of being a monster has disappeared with dew, and now I feel strongly about it.
