Inari wants to live in peace

Chapter 18: To Return to History (3) Tadanori Sato

It is said that there are three times, but there are really many unexpected visitors in the spring of Yongroku Seven Year.

This time, a warlord named Sato Tadayoshi came to the house, so I opened the sliding door and invited him in.

Then he sat opposite the table and served the tampon tea.

By the way, his men are waiting outside the office.

It was a one-on-one meeting, as was the case with Jukei-san last time.

When I first asked him why he came here, he replied that he wanted to hold his head.Suddenly from the opening, I feel like I've been hit hard.

"I will listen to the advice of Inari God and decide whether or not to betray Saito and descend on Oda!"

Mr. Sato spoke with dignity and without any ill will.

As far as I'm concerned, I only thought it was serious, but it's not uncommon to betray or subvert your master in the Sengoku period.

Matsudaira-san tells me that even if I am a trusted subordinate who has served for many years, I may not be able to fall asleep in the first place.

Therefore, I am convinced that Mr. Sato has a point.

But it is.

I'm not sure what to do if I quit my current job and switch to a well-paid competitor.And even if you talk to yourself who doesn't know the background or the circumstances at all, do I know that! It was.

Still, as a self-proclaimed Inari god, we can't just cut the bucket and turn over the nearby shabudai, so we will proceed with the conversation calmly.

"I understand. But why are you talking to me?Shouldn't we ask Mr. Oda here? "

Mr. Sato serves the Saito family.And the territory is adjacent to Ogura, between the enemy.

And it is no strange thing to change the LORD who reads and serves the times, because it is normal in the world of the warring States.

But it was a fatal mistake to consult me about it.

"Oda sent me a letter and advised me to ask Inari for advice on this matter."

In other words, Mr. Oda threw a round at us, so Mr. Sato came all the way to Mt. Inari.

When I hear that, do I betray the Lord I serve or stay at work?

I feel that Oda's idea of entrusting me with advising on such a serious decision has come here and seemed vague.

(I owe Mr. Oda one.)

He is swinging between Nobunaga and Saito, who will serve him in the future.

To be entrusted with the decision to advance and withdraw in the future, it is a heavy burden for me, who is a former high school girl, regardless of what I think.

But it is pathetic to refuse to consult with Mr. Oda after all.

Above all, Inari God (false), who leads the people, does not have the option of abandoning the lost lamb from the beginning.

So, honestly, I didn't go far, but I decided to go out with him about life.

"Why is Sato-san thinking about going down to Oda in the first place?"

"It is because Oda has been intimidated that if he betrays the Lord, he will give a new land as a reward."

This is a common reason in the world of warring States. In the future, did you say that money and status are betrayals aimed at?

However, if they fail, they are likely to become the Buddha of the Family Party. It's all high risk, high return.

Having listened to the answer, I fully understand why Oda threw a round at Sato.

Then, I decided that it would be most convenient for him to play the truth as usual.

So I tell Mr. Sato with a grand attitude.

"In my opinion, we should stop going down to Oda."

So Inari God says that the strategy of betrayal will fail?

I shook my head while exhaling to deny Sato-san's anxious expression.

"That's not true. Whether a strategy succeeds or fails doesn't matter."

Oda complains to herself that she pushed me around in such a troublesome way.

Still, for Mr. Sato, who listens to us seriously, I will go straight to the point about this strategy.

"In conclusion, Oda is not willing to attack Saito."

"... what?"

Sato, who looks stunned, completely loses his words as if he can't understand.

This is why Mr. Oda pressed him against me.Communicate it as easily and concisely as possible.

"Soon the world of war will come to an end and the Taipei era will begin."

"Isn't it Taipei in heaven...?"

I speak quietly to calm him down, who will still be upset inside.

"If that happens, there will be no more fighting between nations, and the density exchanged between Sato-san and Oda will be meaningless."

If Mr Oda tells this, Mr Sato will undoubtedly be cut off.

All the written promises of his birth will be returned to blank paper.If you succeed, Oda's inner feelings may be torn apart by Saito.

Anyway, I'm sure it'll be a hassle for Odase.

That's why you sandwiched me between them.

A tightly packed subpoena is better than a breach of contract.

By the way, since it is about Oda, you want me to calm down Sato-san's anger, but it is too reckless for the boulder.But I am a friend, so I would like to do something about it if possible.

So I had no choice but to use my own explanation.

"Please don't blame Oda.

It was really sudden that I decided to unify the world. "

While Oda and Sato were communicating in writing, I decided to unify the world.

It was a truly gushing story, and no one would have expected it.

I continue to call on Sato to forgive him for the abrupt policy shift that abolished the density.

"So we abolished the density ─ ─"

"Will the Inari God rule the world?"

He opened his mouth as if he had come up with something and talked to us alive.

I thought what happened suddenly, but I still answer the question clearly.

"I didn't want to stand up myself.But by popular will, we ruled the world. "

Although I was surprised at the sudden change in his attitude, which had been dazed until now, I immediately regained my calm and continued to speak.

"Rumors of Inari have reached Saito's territory."

"... can I ask you something?"

I don't know, but the change of subject makes it no longer necessary to take on his heavy life counseling.

I was somehow attracted to, so I encourage you to explain.

Then Mr. Sato nodded and started talking.

"In the land of the Mikawa, a girl named Inari God descends.

The fierce appearance of the wolves leading the battlefield and defeating the mighty warlords with a single dagger makes them truly brave.

He is a wise man who spares no effort to share the food and tools of Takatengahara with the people who suffer from various protections and looks forward to the distant future of the country of Japan. "

As far as I was concerned, Sato-san's face was bright red in many ways.

Mr. Matsudaira spread completely unfounded rumours, even if he no longer wanted to mix disguised information with the bargain sale set by Kitchen Two.

I wanted you to spread more rumors of negative images, if possible.So driven by the urge to shout loudly.

However, if you are overrated so far, it would be foolish to laugh and be alert even if you get noticed that whoever hears this is not supposed to be there.

In the meantime, I stopped telling Mr. Sato that it was time to give him a break, and I took a big deep breath.

As for the mood now, his face was bright red with shame, and he drank tampon tea to distract him before telling him a word.

"Anyway, I don't mind getting along with Mr. Oda.But you'd better stop betraying Saito-san. "

"Of course, the selfish also came to Nagayama Village, convinced that the rumors were true."

He believes that all the rumours he has spread are true.

Having heard that, I was about to blow out the tampon tea that I had been drinking a lot in surprise.

Sato-san, who had a floating expression, asked me why I was upset.

"If the Inari gods rule, will my territory be as rich as Nagayama Village today?"

"That's a little difficult."

I change my mind and organize his questions in my head.

As soon as I came to the conclusion that he was not going to be right, I gently said something to Mr. Sato, whose feelings had changed since I hit him earlier.

"First, Nagayama Village continues to develop after unifying the heavens and the earth.

And I intend to bring richness to all of Japan. "

I am not satisfied with the current situation in Nagayama Village.

Dining is not delicious compared to the future of Japan, and living in comfort and tranquility is still far from complete.

"Sato-san"

Ha, yes!

Here I cut the words and speak to him with a provocative smile.

The desire to eat absolutely delicious food was stimulated, so I just had a little smell.

"At the dawn of my unification, I will not be as rich as Nagayama Village today."

"Hahaha! Exactly! Inari God is right!"

Sato-san lowers his head deep enough to rub it against the tatami mat.

Wherever in the current story was there such an emotional element?

I just talked about the real conversation on the spot as usual, but I think positively if I don't complain to Mr. Oda.

So, have you decided whether to serve Oda or Saito?

"Hahaha! I know that I want to serve Inari God my whole life!"

"Reject!"

What's happening to me?

Honestly, I don't know why, but by reflectively saying no, I stopped the expression muscle from becoming a Tibetan snail.

However, I can't leave Mr. Sato alone, who drops his shoulders a lot, so I will offer an outrageous alternative to serving me.

"If Sato-san wants to help me.

Please ask Saito-san to pave the way without interrupting the journey. "

"Thank you! For the unity of Inari God!Let's definitely convince Ryukyu-sama Saito! "

Sato-san stood up and said, "Now, if you'll excuse me!"

Even more excited, he hurried out of the house.

Although I managed to land softly, I was mentally very tired to make Oda's impudence come true.

Besides, I don't understand why this happened.

However, it's not the beginning that I don't have enough head, and it's only when I eat and take a refreshing bath, and then I fall asleep and forget.

When that was decided, I stood up from the cushion and walked out toward the kamado in the kitchen to consider the dedication of today.
