Inari wants to live in peace
Episode 19: The Strange Disease of Kofi (2) Faith
It was me who went out in a hurry after the children, but there was a fine shrine sitting right in front of me.
On the side, a large number of samurai put their hands on the sword with nervous expressions. When they turned a little in front of them, Inari-sama stood there with no mistake.
Many more mighty samurai were fainting or broken swords were rolling on the ground, but this is a trivial matter.
"Are you the parents of these children?"
Inari-sama, who stood on the ground, was somehow surrounded not only by us, but also by children from all over the station town, touching her tail and ears as she liked.
Me, my wife, and everyone else jumped out trying to stop the kids, but the sight was too unexpected.
So for a while, I couldn't move at all and looked at the way things were going.
But there was nothing I could do about it.
The position of her in front of her can be easily understood by looking at the sacred shrine sitting nearby.
Therefore, all the children's families could be decapitated, or if they succeeded, they could be jointly and severally responsible for the workplace town.
So I lowered my head deep enough to rub it against the ground and even begged for forgiveness.
"I don't care what happens to me!So please, just the kids! "
"Lord Inari, have mercy!"
"Please help me!"
The children finally realized the seriousness of the situation when their late wives and other townsfolk started sitting down together.
The four-year-old daughter, whose six-year-old son, whose face turned blue, was still hugging the tail that swayed from right to left, panicked and peeled, and the other toddlers rushed to their respective families, trying to lower their heads together.
But along the way, Inari-sama, wearing red and white witch clothes, smiled and opened her mouth clearly.
"Very well, thank you very much."
""... what? ""
Me, my wife, and the rest of the town are stunned as they sit down.
Turning to Inari-sama, who seems to have made a remark just now, she looked at the townspeople and children with a merciful smile like a bodhisattva.
"Ah, um... what's the punishment?"
"This Inari god will not forgive you for punishing me."
Listening to Inari-sama's remarks, I knew that the samurai would not cut me for the time being, and the townspeople gently stroked down their chests.
However, I stopped the march for a short time, so to apologize, I sat all the children down on the spot and lowered their heads again.
"Thank you very much for your generosity!"
I am relieved that Inari-sama has survived the life-threatening crisis, and I am convinced that Inari-sama was really there.
Since the ears and tails are constantly swinging, there is no doubt that they are not crops.
I can see that not only my son and daughter, who left in a hurry earlier, but also those around me are following it.
To say the least, Inari-sama seems to be the only one who doesn't notice what is being watched at all.
"No need for gratitude or apology.
Children are important players in Japan from now on.
Even though the infant mortality rate is just high, it takes life with a trivial shadow ─ ─ "
Inari-sama didn't know what she meant.
An important presence in Japan?Infant mortality? What do you mean by that?That's why I asked.
"Ah, um... what does that mean?"
However, if you think about it carefully, you can think that what you have just said is unreasonable, but you can't do it anymore.
Fortunately, the Inari God in front of me seemed kind and replied without worrying.
"It means that after I unite the world, the children there will stand on their backs."
When I heard the explanation, I didn't immediately understand it, but I knew only one thing, including the townspeople.
"Is Inari-sama unifying the world!?"
In other words, it was not Mikawa who stood in his place.
The Inari God in front of us unites the world to end the world of war.
Whatever it is, it is certain that something far beyond common sense is about to happen in this country.
"If I don't stand up, the world of war won't end, because the people will desperately sue."
Everyone would normally be delighted because they would be in a position to give orders to famous people across the country.
However, Inari-sama really seemed to hate it from the bottom of her heart, and her expression was very reluctant.
There was a lot to be honest about, but after she exhaled a big sigh, she turned her face towards the god sitting right next to her.
"The rest of the evening in Ueno is over.It's time to leave. "
After the conversation broke down, Inari-sama walked toward the sacred shrine where she was seated.
Then he took off his waste and sat down quietly in the thick cushion in the middle as he served a small storage space.
"Well, let's hope all the residents of the stadium town are breathtaking."
"Inari-sama! Please wait!"
But shortly before the gods could take over, I panicked to stop Inari-sama.
There was no deep reason for that abrupt action.
However, thanks to the mercy of Inari-sama, who will become the new general, the people of the station town were not held guilty, but were prayed for even a breath of disaster.
I can't apologize for letting you go silently without paying for this.
"Please! Please! Rest in this town!"
And the people of the city that were in tune with it followed in haste.
"Townsfolk are all very happy to welcome Inari-sama and her guests!"
As Inari-sama stands on her shoulders in Japan from now on, I wanted to return the favor I received because it was just a little good.
Above all, it will put an end to a long world of war.I don't want to miss the honor of being so helpful.
Our stadium town is full of praise from generations that Inari-sama has stayed overnight.
The townspeople all lowered their heads deeply to Inari-sama.
Some of them offered prayer, but when she saw it, she had a troublesome look on her face.
"Thank you for your kindness, but I refuse."
"Oh no!?"
Inari-sama's hasty rejection made the faces of the townspeople, including me, desperate.
But soon, I will tell you that there is nothing wrong with you, and I will start explaining why you refused.
"I've heard that villages and towns can't afford to store food and supplies.
So if the people in the workplace are hungry because they welcomed us, they'll end up falling. "
Hearing the words, Inari-sama was one of the townspeople who understood that he was a loving person.
If this happens, we can't have a welcome banquet or rent an inn, so we have to keep quiet and let them go.
And it was thanks to her that she didn't disturb during the march, and when she looked nearby, the trucks and horses were loaded with food.
And because it's a long line, I can tell you that we're all set.
Perhaps it was enough to mistake most of the army for a transport unit.
"Once you've stopped having trouble eating your daily meals, take a welcome offer.
All troops, now! "
Many townsfolk prayed for Inari-sama's safety and gratitude until he could not see more than 10,000 troops.
Those who saw the new general in charge of the future of this country were undoubtedly subject to faith, without exception, from children to adults.
And when Inari-sama ruled and became rich enough not to worry about starvation, it was now time to hold a welcome banquet to please the people, and the whole town decided.
