Inari wants to live in peace

Episode 22 Opening the Shogun (12) Rolling Shells

I feel like I haven't worn anything but witch clothes in a long time.And this house is sterile now.

I set it to burn out only germs and microbes that are harmful to the human body, but humans don't burn it, but it seems to have been well applied to clothing.

The joints, holes, fraying and so on did not change, but for some reason they fell clean even to the dirt.

This probably reproduced the clean sterile room that I imagined.

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the fox fire, which has been accommodated in the details.

But put me aside, now the problem is with Kikuharu.

I asked for my companion.However, I was strictly ordered to protect Inari God from my grandfather's death.

I couldn't help but feel pitiful from my perspective as an atheist in the age of the faithful Sengoku.

Incidentally, about the witch clothes I lent to Kikuharu, but some of them are exposed, so I expose my bare skin outside.

So I thought about what would happen if pathogens adhered to it, but I was optimistic that it would work out.

Because when I took off my witch clothes, my fox daughter's power came back faster than when I was crawling on all fours.

In other words, we believe that witch clothing is equipped with an automatic recovery function.

Even if pathogens and parasites entered the body, I was convinced that the power of the fox-daughter, which gathered from somewhere, would soon destroy it.

But there was a fatal problem with this.

It is completely unknown how a living person who has worn my witch clothes for a long time will change.

It would still be better if fox ears and tails could grow like mine.

As the most dangerous development, it is also possible that the fox daughter's oversupply of power or rejection will have some kind of negative impact on the body or spirit.

However, it was only after changing clothes that I learned that Fox Daughter had a power collection feature.

Above all, I'm losing a lot of power now.Even if you investigate strange diseases by yourself in such a state, it is likely that it will become a turtle's walk.

So I know the village very well, and I really appreciated the presence of my companion, Kikuharu.

Then I decided that I would have to complete my assignment as soon as possible, take off my witch clothes, and finish it immediately without any influence.

While I was thinking about this, the villagers walked along the grassy beast path and came to the creek because no one stopped by under the guidance of Orange Clam.

Because Takeda-san touched the area where the strange disease had been confirmed, because there were sick magic lurking in the river and fields, and he said that he should not approach it without darkness.

Prior to that, it was frequently used as public water.

"It's the creek that the villagers used a while ago, you know? Inari god?"

"Uh... no, I see."

There are many kinds of creatures living in the river.

However, when I looked closely, I found that the water flow was slow and that there were still small shellfish in the mud.

And there's obviously a bad sign from him.

It's an unsubstantiated intuition, but it's a dangerous creature that should never be left alone.

And perhaps, not only is it worth it, but there are strange diseases caused by the shellfish in other areas.

Somehow, I understand.

Um, no, Inari God?

The orange infantry who thought I was obviously strange called out, quietly pointing to the shellfish closest to here.

"The shellfish that inhabit the water fields are the source of strange diseases.Can you see it from here? "

She groans and stares at the stream for a while.

Then she nodded small and called out to me.

"Is that shellfish who's sick?"

I think it's amazing to see such a small rolled shellfish from this distance, but is Kratie special or people of this era amazing?

You don't think that's the effect of witch clothes? And, even though I have a bad feeling, I dress up as extremely calm and explain briefly.

"Never approach them as they can get infected by water or wind without touching them."

"Ha,...... yes"

As a precaution, I approach the creek, bend over without stepping into the water, and pick up the shellfish with my fingertips.

And since there is no glass bottle, put about half of the water into the sealed earthen bottle where you plan to put the liquor.

Continue to roll shellfish and remove a few powders, then tightly plug and seal.

Yoshi, we've harvested the pathogen, so we don't need to stay long.

Now that we've done what we have to do here, we turn our backs to the creek and walk out to the village to get out of here as soon as possible.

It should be noted that how to handle the shellfish from now on is a domestic issue, so I will leave it to Takeda-san.

Draw the picture to alarm, move to find out the cause of the strange disease, or destroy it.

Anyway, I'm sure you'll need some background evidence to decide what to do next.

On the other hand, I was in a hurry inside.The reason is because I am worried about the body of the orange infantry wearing witch clothes.

For now, there is no immediate impact, but if it takes a long time, something will go wrong.

While thinking about what to do if the medicine passes and becomes poisoned, I checked again and again to see if she was following me and if there were any abnormalities.

Even though I was a little rough, I turned back on my original path.

Incidentally, even if we assume that the cause of the strange disease is a shellfish, there can be no evidence.

It's like seeing a character introduction to a theoretical drama and not seeing the scene or the incident, but making sure it's the killer.

But I have something strangely convinced, and if I deny it, there will be more sacrifices.I felt that way.

I walked down the trail to get back to the village, but I was a little doubtful if I could take off my granddaughter's witch clothes right after I left.

Because even though we decided that the shellfish was a pathogen, we still don't know how it actually led to strange diseases and claimed lives.

Of course, in an era when there are no magnifying glasses rather than microscopes, it is not easy to explore invisible pathogens and micro-organisms, and I don't have such a good idea.

But when presenting the shellfish as evidence, it's intuition!It's a bit painful to just penetrate.

Therefore, I wanted to investigate just a little bit more about whether there was anything else that would lead to the proof because it could be caused by strange illness.

Besides, this is a village I don't know at all.

There is not enough time to do it all by yourself, including understanding geography, facilities, residents' response, miscellaneous use, and many other things.

Then, Orange infantry's continued throwing, which is not affected by the illness, is almost certain, and naturally she still wears witch clothes.

(Actually, the man is more reliable.There is a problem with the appearance)

Some men are strong and not infected with strange diseases.In that case, it would be a little girl's witch dress, and it would be a patchy patch.

It's too bad for the painting, and the maker of this dress is going to get angry without thinking.

Above all, the witch's clothes fit just right for Kratie, so I don't think it's dangerous to change the organization here because it's not adversely affected by this at the moment.

Then I'll have her do a little harder.

But I was a little worried, so I approached the village and called out to take care of it.

"By the way, is your body okay?What's so funny? "

"Ah, yes! It's okay!

On the contrary, my body is as light as a feather and I don't feel tired at all!I'm not afraid of anything anymore! "

She was a super strong orange infarct who just brought me an arrow or a gun.

Having seen it, I understand that she is under the influence of witch clothes.

But fortunately, for now, it still falls within human boundaries.At best, I can recover from fatigue and see things far away.

If we finish the investigation early, we'll be able to return to a normal girl.

Conversely, if the wearing time is longer, it will be said to be out, but for the time being, I definitely need Orange Infarct, so I decided not to think of any examples of failures.

Well then, please continue to help me investigate the strange illness.

"Yes, I'll take care of it!"

Hearing her cheerful greeting, I felt like I was cheating and my conscience hurt, but I nodded quietly and small.

Having been out of use for some time, we finally returned safely to our original lonely village after passing through a trail leading to a river that was completely a beast trail and scattering the bushes many times.
