Inari wants to live in peace
Episode 18 To Return to History (1) Takeda Shingen
The Inari Festival under Okazaki Castle in the autumn of Nagaku 6 was successfully completed.That is a good thing in itself.
But then it collapsed, and I opened the shogunate and united the world.
When the world is not sailing smoothly, it exhales heavily.
But it is a definitive future that cannot be changed by one's will anymore.
Then, as Plan B, after opening the shogunate in Edo, I came up with a plan to baton Mr. Matsudaira and return him to normal history.
It is also an apology for the fact that history has been transformed into a mess, and for the care I will take in the future.
Therefore, I felt strongly that it was my fault to completely escape the world of war and return it after security improved and the people of all over Japan started singing peace songs.
Regardless of various troublesome circumstances, the time passed and it was spring of Yongroku Seven Years.
A priest from the village at the foot came to the office in the middle of the mountain, where the morning sun had not yet climbed.
He was afraid to open the sliding door at the entrance and told me that a visitor had visited and that he was having a little tea in the living room.
When I was told to look behind him, I noticed a group of middle-aged men dressed in travel attire but wearing knives and no gaps watching me.
One of the first of them comes out a few steps ago and lowers his head deeply.
"My name is Takeda Shingen. Thank you for today."
Ah, Takeda-san?
None of my acquaintances call me Takeda.But since Inari became self-proclaimed, it is not uncommon for these jump-in visitors.
Most of them are tall people, and the gods come around because they can't refuse.
She seems to have obtained permission from Matsudaira-san, but there are a number of complicated circumstances, and her real name may be hidden.
Incidentally, the likelihood of a pseudonym is low this time.
This is because the knowledge of history is hard, but the rulers of the forces adjacent to the current Three Rivers know it.
I remembered that the ruler of the Mikawa and neighboring northeastern countries was Shingen Takeda, and at that point I had only a bad feeling.
"Whatever it is, you will be tired from your long journey, so please go inside."
Still, behave calmly without attitude, and greet them with a smiling smile like Inari god.
"Thank you. I'll be in your way."
"Would you like to join us?"
He brings in more than one person who behaves without gaps.Their faces are hidden in straw umbrellas, but they invite everyone inside for now.
He took off his straw umbrella indoors to the boulders, but they were all uncles, to say the least.
But this degree is predictable, and even if they suddenly pull out their sword and try to kidnap me, I am aware that it is strong enough to suppress it, and I am definitely better at rough things than negotiating, including my family of wolves.
Therefore, searching for information or, if possible, attempting to abduct will only increase the number of wasteful sacrifices.
There were various distortions, and eventually the main person himself went out and could not move without ascertaining the authenticity of things. It was almost intuitive, but I thought so.
Around the time everyone entered, Takeda asked the priest to leave his seat.So when he bowed, he closed the sliding door of the entrance and went back to the village at the foot.
On the other hand, I boiled my own tampon tea and poured it sequentially into a teacup arranged on a table.
Then he told Takeda-san and the guards who had been brought up from the dirt floor to the living room to lay down a cushion and sit and wait for a while.
It's coarse tea, please.
"Thank you, but the Inari God will do it.Wouldn't it be better if you let a witch or a witch do it? "
After I serve them tea, I go back to the kitchen and answer the question without looking at Takeda.
"One day when I'm alone, I try to cook myself at home."
After baton touching Mr. Matsudaira, I will naturally hide.
At that time, I plan to spend the rest of my life on sightseeing and eating tours throughout Japan with wolves.
I can go out with underlings and witches, but I'm sorry to swing around with old selfishness.
"Hmm, what does that mean?"
"It means as it is."
This plan is my only secret, and I can't tell Takeda.
Therefore, I would like you not to stick it deep.
I see, that's what I'm saying.
"Yes, that's what I'm saying."
He nods deeply with a serious face as if he had perceived something, but he must be mistaken.
Someday my own faith will be lost and people will forget and have to live alone.
But I'm not going to correct it.
Because it is troublesome to make the best excuse, and if you say you want to quit Inari and return to a normal girl, it is impossible to predict what kind of reaction will come back.
Eventually, coming back from the kitchen, I laid down my favorite cushion recently, quietly lowered my hips, sandwiched between the shabudai and met Takeda.
"So, what can I do for you today?"
"I've come to confirm the veracity of the rumors.... do you understand? "
To Takeda-san, who says the most disgusting thing, I put my little hand against my mouth.
I know that my tenderness has become rumored and my tail and back grow and I walk alone.
But if he doesn't tell me which rumors he wants to verify, I'll have to imagine.
So let's start with the question that seems to have the highest probability.
"Are you here to find out if I am a true Inari god?"
"That's right. So I'm asking you, do you have proof that you're real?"
Looks like you got it right.
But even if I were to be called evidence of a true Inari god, I would honestly be in trouble.
Using fox ears and tails as an example, they are more likely to claim to be monsters.
After considering these circumstances, I could confidently say that it was a fake, and I replied honestly and honorably, without lying, and without shame.
"There is no evidence that I am Inari."
""... what? ""
In the first place, I am a fake of Inari God, and I am just playing it like that in front of the people.
Sometimes they call the knowledge of the future a miracle of God, as they wish, and they simply fulfill the aspirations of the people far away.
So fake evidence comes out as much as possible, but I knew best that I wasn't real.
But now we have to wait for the demon crusade end.
That's why I decided to put Takeda and the guards in smoke with the excuse I just came up with.
"I can't prove that I am Inari.
In the first place, it would have been worshipped as a different existence in the neighboring continent, and there's no point in ascertaining authenticity. "
Even gods with the same surname change their roles greatly from region to region.
Therefore, Inari gods were completely different before they came to Japan, and they might not have had the protection of the richness of the five grains.
Well, it was all my imagination, but I didn't feel like it was going too far.
So the Inari gods aren't the only ones who can help us with the riches of the five grains?
Honestly, I had no idea why they asked me that, and I didn't have a clear answer.
But I'm sure Takeda-san is convinced that he won't deny it.
It is often used as a countermeasure in times of trouble, laughing and appropriately deceiving.
"Gh... I'll leave it to your imagination"
"Oops! What are you talking about?"
Takeda looks up at the ceiling and shouts, but when she looks closely, some of the guards are extremely impressed and crying.
"Now the Inari God has made it!It explains everything! "
When I saw it, I was so confused, why would I react so excessively?It doesn't come out of your mouth, but your heart is very upset.
But whatever it was, I used tampon tea to moisturize my dry throat in order to cool off.
Takeda-san and the guards were keen to discuss my divinity for a while, but after all, I was turned into the Spirit of the Initiator of Heaven and Earth, who governs all events.
But I'll leave it to your imagination, so I can't say anything from here.
Takeda asked me again if she noticed anything after the discussion.
"But is it really good to remain suspected of being fake?"
I respond with a slight smile to Mr Takeda, who is kind enough to worry me.
"Once the knowledge and tools have been conveyed, the existence of Inari God is no longer necessary.
Then let the beloved people bring richness to this country without me. "
Compared to Japan in the future, it is still developing, but Mikawa and Onari have become rich.
We will not stop this flow from spreading throughout the country.
For me, as a normal person, it is perfectly all right to have no believers, as long as a time of peace arrives and my safety is ensured.
On the contrary, I'm sick of being washed away, so I'd like to get back to being a normal girl.
"I'm already off the stage, and even with wisdom, I can't use my powers other than fox fire.
Besides, the main characters in this world are you people.Am I just interrupting the existence of Inari God? "
All I can do is push my brain muscles and fox fire.Don't rely too much on the immature Inari god.And since you can't put it in your mouth from the front, I'll put a nail in the distance.
That was supposed to be the case, but Takeda and the guards are all looking sad.
Besides, I thought I was leaning down and thinking deeply, and slowly opened my mouth.
"Inari God, I've taken care of you."
How are you?
Takeda-san, who had been thinking for a while, stood up from the cushion to see if he had decided something.
The guards followed me silently and stepped out of my house in turn.
(Ha, glad they didn't find out it was a fake of Inari god)
I was thinking about that as I looked at Takeda's backs as I opened the sliding door and went out.
If I am not such a great god, I have a precautionary line, and there is no real proof, but I don't intend to come out on the stage very much, but I have made an excuse for going a little further.
However, Mr. Takeda must have been quite alert to me because it was always heavy air.
Therefore, I was a little worried that if I didn't give General Kaisei to Matsudaira-san and hide, he would one day find out that it was a fake and be exterminated as a monster.
Although it was Takeda's visit, Mr. Matsudaira knew as a matter of course.
I came all the way across the valley to my house before I officially got permission to exchange letters and decide what to do next.
He was aiming for the capital of Kyoto in order to unify the world, and it was the Mikawa that became an obstacle in its path.
By the way, it seems that I, who is unidentified, could not read what I was going to do at all and looked terrible.
In addition, Matsudaira-san hired Shinobi to watch from afar just in case, and the wolves in the cabin next to the office were listening and watching.
But nothing happened and the consultation was over, so in the end they didn't show up.
A few days later, Matsudaira and Takeda formed an alliance, but the fox daughter, who felt relieved that she had survived the scene, had no reason to know.
