Inari wants to live in peace

Episode 22 Opening the Shogun (7) The Goddess of the Moon

On the cutting out site in the northern mountains of Hojo territory, I cooked again.

In addition, I set break times at 10: 00 and 3: 00 in a day, pulled out trees and crushed rocks, and for the first time in a long time, I was very active in the power of my fox daughter.

That's why Matsuda-san and his children were in such a hurry.

"Does Inari God inspect or cook?It would be helpful if you could focus on treating the wounded! "

This also included the on-site supervisor, and the workers cried and pleaded that their standing was gone, so they decided to weigh themselves for the time being.

I thought the power of fox daughters like the heavy machinery of the future would certainly improve efficiency, but it is not gentle on the stomach of site supervisors and workers.

And even though it is the construction work of Inari Taisha Shrine for me, it seems that it will be terrible to serve God or to be proud of being a man.

That's why I want you to keep a little care in areas unrelated to civil engineering.

In the first place, it's like a baseball club OB participating in juniors' practice when a very great person talks in the workplace.

In other words, it's nothing but nuisance, and more importantly, it's in the way.

In the meantime, while appropriately stirring the large pot for cooking, I gaze at the manual workers who are carrying out the cutting work at a slightly distant site.

(I saw the state of the cutting out work site, and I can handle Scoop and Tsuruhashi without any problems.

Then there is no reason to stay any longer.)

Originally, I greeted the owner of the Hojo family that I moved to, and I wondered if there was anything else I could do to help in the field.

Then I decided that the purpose had been achieved, and I gathered the children before sundown to announce the return to Odawara Castle.

Then he went to the great river, and boarded the same boat as he went.

The return proceeds without defying the flow, so it goes down at a considerable speed.

On the way, the sun set, so I decided to turn on the pine lights, but I waited.

He lighted the darkness of the night with blue and white light.

Besides, it was always floating over my head, so it was very convenient to meditate on the color difference.

I watched the big river at night for a while and went down the river quietly without a word in particular.

On the way, Mr. Matsuda, who was standing beside me, opened his mouth.

"Did Inari not only be the god of the sun but also the goddess of the moon?"

What?

What was the first time I heard it? I hurriedly pressed it to my mouth in a vegetarian state.

"What does the Goddess of the Moon mean?"

I managed to change my face to serious rather than stupid and asked Matsuda-san.

"Inari God has already brought many blessings to the people of Japan.

It will help end the world of war. "

Inside, I can only say, whoa, whoa...

I know that I am doing great things everywhere.

However, it has been a long time since the Sengoku period, but I have called myself Inari God and repeated the advance of the future without any deep thoughts, but its achievements have accumulated considerably.

"And the Moon Goddess brightens the path of those lost in the darkness of the night."

Certainly the darkness, which does not shine a ray of light, is constantly struck by unspeakable anxiety, and it becomes impossible to know where to go.

However, if the moon's light brightens your feet, you can reach the destination you should aim for, and your anxiety will be lightened because you can see the future ahead.

(Since the sun god illuminates the whole of Japan so much, it is likely that the achievements so far and the unity of the world will be achieved.

But where does the Moon Goddess come from?)

Though I don't think it's a good thing to say, it's a case where ordinary people overestimate me as the goddess of the moon, and the human stomach definitely has a big hole.

Determined that my face would turn bright red with shame if I continued, I turned away from the subject of aggression and said exactly what I thought.

"Indeed, I gave people wisdom and technology.

The sun god doesn't have to know. "

After opening the shogunate in Edo, it will lead a large number of people.Moreover, Japan is close to the sun god, even from the name of the country.

I don't think I can do that at all, but I feel like I can't help thinking about it so far, so I'm willing to accept it now.

But I can't do it until the other one.

"But I didn't mean to show people the way.

Even though the sun god alone is not enough, please forgive me for being the moon goddess. "

Generally speaking, Inari God is a god rich in five grains.

From there, I had various tails and backs depending on my softness, but not only the sun god with everything, but also the goddess of the moon who could reach the itching place.

Inari God, who has acquired the power of all gods through his efforts, will explode in the first place, even though he is powerless.Perhaps the setting alone can be a good match against the only Almighty God.

Well, I'm not really motivated to do jihad, but Matsuda-san's explanation continued while I thought it was overrated.

"It is the basis of being a goddess of the moon, but it is true that the standards for length, weight, capacity, etc. are harmonized across Japan."

It was an unnatural washer at that time, so I remember it was vague.

Speaking of which, Matsuda-san continued to talk to me when I remembered something a while ago.

"Each region and craftsman has its own standards, so there are always differences in tools, work efficiency, life, etc.

But that's normal in Japanese. "

I didn't know that until the Sengoku period.

I just want to pinch my mouth, but if I appeal incompetently, it will taste bad, so I will silently listen to the audience.

"But God Inari already knows what will happen if standards are harmonized across the country."

Matsuda-san explained this to me politely because there was someone else who didn't know.

First of all, even if the craftsman looked at the blueprints and made them, if the standards differed from region to region, there was some sort of defect in how precisely they were made.

This improvement will help to force the Hojo family as well as the entire Japanese civilization level.

Besides, there is no difference in weight or capacity between regions, so any trader can have a fair deal.

Since there are no errors in the collection of annual earnings, and the units rise every ten years, it is easier to calculate, so it is good.

However, this happens when I listen to what the big names and people across Japan honestly say and listen to my teachings.

Linking past history, there were many powerful people who tried to do the same.

But the result is a failure, and it is obvious from the fact that even in the Warring States era, there are errors between regions and power holders.

However, the Hojo family and their subordinates had already grasped the information before me, that is, the things that were scattered ahead of them.

That's why I was deeply impressed at Odawara Castle because I was convinced that the harmonization of standards would always succeed.

This puts a lot of pressure on me.I don't have a hole in my stomach, but please give me a break with the washcloth if possible.

However, the harmonization of standards must also be done for the future, so it is difficult to say that it can not be stopped even now.

But this wasn't the end, and unfortunately Matsuda-san's pursuit continued.

"There's one more thing that shows us the way.It's about environmental protection. "

That said, the excuse for jumping into the river and catching eels with momentum did not come to mind aggressively at that time.

So I was desperate to distract myself.

"But not only was it great as a ruler, but it was close to us, and I was relieved."

As soon as I tilted my head, Mr. Matsuda answered me what that meant.

"Since ancient times, gods have been higher than men.For that reason, he looked down on us, sometimes causing natural disasters and taking his life for fun.

I will give you as much protection and help as that, but it is very difficult to deal with anyway. "

I nod with humm. In other words, I am a fox daughter and a toddler, and I have great power and knowledge, but the contents are ex-girlfriend high school students.

Matsuda-san and the others must be relatively easy to deal with.

"In that regard, God Inari leans against us from the same perspective as men, and seeks to save all the people of Japan by giving them protection without taking their lives in play.

What's more, you making a scene with one eel really deserve to look right, and it's... so cute ─ ─ "

After that, Matsuda-san dyed his cheeks into vermilion and shut up, distracting his eyes.

A normal God would be furious with all humans here, but I don't think anything else because I'm a normal person.

After all, in the subtle air flowing, I became smaller and embarrassed and couldn't stand it anymore, so I hurriedly coughed.

"Anyway, did environmental protection show the way?"

"Oh, I see! Excuse me!"

I understand the reason why it wasn't pursued at that time, but it was still very embarrassing, so I decided to bury it in the other side of my memory.

It's more about environmental protection than that, but I'm not impressed.

Indeed, I remember hearing many times about the importance of limited resources in the future of Japan.

In fact, there is frequent noise when the earth's resources are depleted as they are, but sometimes I also make the sorting of garbage difficult.

However, I didn't think I would be very impressed by this concept during the Sengoku era, when there were still a lot of Earth's resources, because I didn't belong to an environmental protection group.

However, I was compelled to accept Mr. Matsuda's supplement on that point.

"Wood resources are depleted and bald mountains are common in the coastal mountains.

For us, this is an imminent crisis. "

It is true that there are many bald mountains along the coast, but they are shipped to the mountainous north.

Depletion of timber resources in Hojo territory as well as in other territories is probably a serious problem.

"So thank you very much to Inari God for teaching you about planting!"

I can't say that I'm not confident because I'm just a shy person, looking at Matsuda-san with her hands down.

For this reason, we always speak the appropriate dialogues to get through this situation.

"I'm not so familiar with planting either, but I'll do my best."

"" "Oooh!!!" "

I'm willing to make it 100% successful.

But it's impossible for everything to go well from the beginning, and it's true that I'm not familiar with planting.

Anyway, seeing me motivated, not only Matsuda-san, but everyone around me is very happy.

Therefore, the depletion of timber resources seems to be a more serious problem in Japan today than I think.

I want to solve it somehow, but it takes a lot of time from planting to becoming a tree.

So when is it going to come to fruition?

After all, all I could do was work with Inari's authority and awkward knowledge of the future, and then work with local experts to get closer to completion, even little by little.
