Inari wants to live in peace

Episode 30 Shiro Amakusa (8) Shimabara Shinto

The trial of Shimabara, which deals with historically very rare cases, has finally begun as a sightseeing crowd lurks.

The official who hands down the verdict is the samurai's flagship, and in the world, he is enough to be your father.

He appeared from the sleeves of the stage and sat down on the cushion that was laid in the middle of the sitting room.

He then confronts the key figures of the merchant convoy who were sitting him down in Goza, that is, those believed to have taken part in the crime.

Shimabara was handed a brief by an official who was standing by, so I will open it and read out the charges I have investigated in the past few days in turn.

As for me, hiding my identity and looking from a slight gap in the sliding door, I feel like I'm watching a real era play.

"─ ─ That's the sin you committed! There's no difference!"

I have tried to spend the whole day asking about the situation, and in addition to the murder of the supreme ruler of Japan, various criminal histories were described in detail so that if I slapped it, dust would come out.

The merchant shouted that there would be no noise of slipping into this.

"No, Your Honor! It's all wet!"

As far as I'm concerned, a merchant with thick facades is unlikely to give up.

If you admit it, it's dark first, and you'll move to win the acquittal.And exhale inside.

"But your merchant fleet was involved in the slave trade!"

A rigorous investigation revealed that, rather than being a part of it, it was related to the honeymoon with Nanban merchants, Sakai luxury merchants, and even some temples.

But he shakes his head to deny the fact.

"That's because someone is going to fall into my merchant fleet!I have mixed women and children into the loading!

Please check again! They will soon prove innocent! "

As I said, the Shimabara clan investigated carefully and the evidence of the situation is complete.

I do not doubt that I will win the acquittal without giving up after this period.

That would mean fabricating new evidence or targeting irrelevants.

I wasn't very smart, so I made fun of what he was thinking.

However, after listening to the remarks, Shimabara did not seem willing to withdraw his guilt at all. Looking at them with cold eyes, he mercilessly moved on to the next item.

"Then I not only planned the murder of the Inari God, who is the supreme ruler of Japan and the Emperor of God, but also did what I had to do!

Do you have any complaints about this? "

Enforcement of justice is inherently fair, but the merchants are intimidated with a slightly rough voice.

Because my position is quite allergic, even if I pinch it intact, it is not strange for me to be beheaded or killed on the spot as a national treason crime.

But the merchant does not hesitate to raise his voice against it.

"That's a misunderstanding!We were trying to save the Inari God! "

Hiding in the back seat, I leaned my neck without thinking what the hell was going on.

It seems that the same was true of the officials who worked for Shimabara and the Archivist, and temporarily stopped following the development of the story, but the anger was extinguished.

"I can't see the story. Explain why."

As Shimabara encouraged the continuation, the merchant began to chat that he had been waiting.

Simply summarized, it appears that some of the sailors were mixed with thieves.

He suddenly came to me in a state of confusion, and because it was dangerous to approach, he had to shoot and kill all the straw guns he had in his possession to protect himself.

Unfortunately, however, several shots aimed at it plunder the Inari God.

She was also caught in another convoy and tried to capture her with a cannon.

Even before the Maritime Self-Defense Forces arrived, they managed to suppress it, but eventually the killers were afraid to leave evidence or turned themselves into sea debris.

At that time, Inari God, who had been shot and shot at by a cannon, was very disturbed, so he testified to the wrong fact.

Beyond the gate, I was stunned by the thickness of the skin on the face of the majestic merchant and couldn't say anything.

"He tried to sin against us by creating the fact that he killed Inari God!

Luckily, I have an idea, so please check it out ─ ─ "

I can testify against the dead without saying anything.

It has nothing to do with that, but the day I returned to Edo was announced in advance.

The boat that went back was treated as unavailable for chaos and stayed in Shimabara Castle all the time to do paperwork.

And because I'm still disguised as a town daughter and holding back, I don't know if you realize that I'm here. I just wanted to tell you all about it.

You think you can win the acquittal if you buy time and put up evidence and witnesses with weaknesses and undercover money, but you don't.

At the limit of my patience, I stood up slowly from the cushion.

Then the caretaker opens the back seating door and walks straight towards the center of the stage as a crowd of spectators groan about something.

I don't care even in the middle of a trial.

Without hesitation, I jumped in front of you.

As always, it's a good tongue to turn around.

Ah, who are you!

As if I hadn't noticed, I remember wearing a straw umbrella for my patience.

So loosen the string, remove it, and throw it in a mess.

Now you can see the characteristic fox ears, so even if you pretend to be the village daughter, you can no longer escape the bad merchant.

Then, the tail that is slightly upside down also comes out from the gap in the Japanese clothes.

"Have you forgotten my face?"

"Ugh! Ah! What about you!?"

Instead of being a merchant, it was clear that the other suspects sitting in Goza were all shaking their bodies with blue faces.

"Why are you here?! I thought you were back in Edo!?"

If I confessed my sins in silence, I was angry at the rotten roots that tried to impersonate others.

So I don't feel like explaining either way, and I think about how to return it.

Soon afterwards, the nearby guard and caretaker came forward and shouted on their behalf.

"Hold back! This fox ear and tail don't get in my eyes!"

"I know who this person is!We can be presented by the Inari god, who has given us the throne of the Emperor from the imperial court! "

"They're all tall! Let's keep it down!"

I didn't have a meeting, but the gift was perfect for my breath.

Because I was angry with my mind or my voice, it seems that I couldn't get enough of what I wanted to say to you earlier.

All the sinners who sat in Goza rubbed their blue heads against the ground as they trembled.He was performing a splendid performance.

Ha! Hahaa!

However, although I jumped out with momentum, I am still acting with the same thoughts, so I am worried about what to do after this.

I'll leave the rest to you, but I can't dress up somehow, so I'll just stay in the flow for now.

"Not only do you participate in the slave trade, but you also use false testimony to dispel evil!

Wearing clothes to irrelevant others!

That sin is worth dying for! Cut your belly clean! "

"Oh, no! Please have mercy!"

The merchant was in a bad mood and was still trying to say something, so he put me in his words and shouted.

To be clear, it is an unexpected departure, so it is certain that if you are pursued poorly, you will get worn out.

In this case, it was safer for the guilty to be sent to the detention facility immediately without allowing room for objection.

"Stand up!"

Hahaa!

Shimabara's guards surround and tie up a group of pale criminals and take them violently.

For the usual momentum, I was glad to have been able to land softly.

"This will settle one thing!"

And if it's all right with you, it's important that you get rid of it with a little force.

I separated them, so I retreated to the other side of the original barrier door, along with the guard and caretaker.

It's no longer unusual to be generous, but this time there were a lot of spectators and I wasn't prepared.

When things were cleared up and calm down, things became very embarrassing.

Afterwards, he was slightly ill dressed, but cancelled his stomach, and they still had information to ask, so he had to conduct a more rigorous investigation.

As a result, it was honestly admitted that there was no difference in all counts.

In the first place, Japan's supreme ruler could dye white and black if he cared, so he would have given up more than ever since I told him there was no mercy for criminals.

According to the information at that time, it was discovered that Japanese slaves were being sold abroad through missionaries.

Shiro Amakusa's merchant also participated in the crime, and the Son of God was a lie and a healthy hideout.

Strengthen ties with missionaries by inciting hostility to the Shimabara clan.

It was a mere token to get slaves more efficiently.

Smart tricks to trick believers, such as treating blind girls or walking on water.Like I said, the fact that I didn't want to know is revealed in the potato formula.

I actually had the opportunity to meet Shiro Amakusa, but he was a little clever boy, no more or less.

My parents and relatives weren't alone in committing criminal acts, but they were excited to see Inari God (false).

So as far as I was concerned, I concluded that the rumors were just rumors.

Incidentally, since the missionary had concealed his faith and stained his hands with evil, he decided to tighten the tightening as promised with Mr. Frois in the past.

But the Christians who already believed, without exception, shut down only missionaries from Japan.

I didn't have a scratch on the face of my correspondent, the Pope.The rest was a full concession considering that there were also serious believers.

In the future, however, like traders in other countries, permits are required to leave the island, and strict surveillance is required to avoid repeating mistakes.

I have always been vigilant, but I didn't think that not only did I create collaborators in the Shimabara clan, but also sakai merchants and Buddhists, who are other religions, were dying their hands illegally.

It's too big a story for me to understand anymore.

In the first place, I'm not very interested in the relationship behind it, so I wanted to leave the area to my full-time job and go home slowly.

Anyway, it is certain that the problem of the Shimabara clan has settled once in a while.

From now on, we will have to prosecute criminals at the potato potato ceremony or buy back the slaves that were sold, but you are chasing them.

It's the job of the Shogun and the officials of each clan, and all I can do is write a pen to the Pope to facilitate the purchase of slaves.

His stomach would be tingling again, but since it was the savage side that dyed his hands for evil, he should make effective use of the handlers available at this time.

It is unclear whether the witness who was watching this court judgment or whether the lord of the clan spread it, but such rumours lead me to punish the bad merchant who was hiding Christianity.

As a result, the scaffolding that the missionaries have built up so far has collapsed brilliantly, and instead I can be lifted as a washcloth.

There were many converts from Christianity to Inarism.

It was already a fuss from top to bottom, dyed in fox color one after the other, as if it were a mass movement of ethnic groups.

Therefore, this incident will be called the Shimabara unrest in future generations.

Then a little while later, a few officials of the Shogun were dispatched, so I returned to Edo to be replaced.

Hopefully, I'll be able to rebuild my territory during the probation period, while boarding the latest steamship prepared by the Maritime Self-Defense Forces.

After taking a breath, she stood on the deck and gazed at Shimabara Castle, which was far away.

With the fox hair shaken by the tidal wind, the Son of God turned out to be a fake, so he exhaled a big sigh in his heart that he might have to steer this country until he gently retreated.
