Inari wants to live in peace

A great comet was observed in the night sky in December of the third year of Kanbo.

As I said, I was somehow staring out the windows of the glassy house, and I saw a big star shining in the night sky.

At that time, I was comfortable thinking that comets were unusual without any concern.

But then I realized.

What do people think when they look at comets that are rare in the world once in decades or centuries?

As long as you just feel beautiful, like me.

However, even though education was compulsory at least at the elementary school level before adulthood, some people are likely to say strange things, such as bad omens and whether the Earth's air can be carried.

The approach of comets, especially this time, is a phenomenon as rare as once in a hundred years.

In other words, there is a possibility that disruption will spread even without trying to reach Japan.

It's fine if you deal with it calmly, but it doesn't have to roll in the wrong direction.

So I thought I needed to figure out how I was going to move.

Then I decided to conduct a nostalgic poll.

Then the time passed a little, and it was mid-December of Kanbo three years ago.

The town of Edo was very busy as it prepared for the New Year and paid for its work, and the boulevards became lively and lively.

I leave it to the caretaker to put it on, have the fox hair wrapped up in buns, and dress up tightly with winter cold gear.

In addition, as usual, we will conduct a family operation in pairs of men and women, and no matter where we look, we will not know that we are Inari God, and we can say that we are ready.

By the way, it's a poll, but it doesn't stop passers-by at the corner and ask questions.

If you do that, you'll think you're Inari.

Therefore, while hanging around Edo town appropriately, the fox ears are cleared while eating and drinking with nothing to eat.

Soon there were many people who were the most developed in Japan, so such information was indispensable.

Normally, it lies deep in the sanctuary forest, so you can only hear wolves, insects, and nature.

Still, now people's voices often come into the fox ears, so it seemed okay to stay anywhere in the shade.

Even if you do a poll, everything needs to be prepared downstairs.

Having planned in advance, I stopped by a sweet shop that seems to have gained a reputation in the town of Edo, the number one goal, around 10 am.

Incidentally, the source of the information is a few acquaintances, it goes without saying that they are caregivers and nearby guards.

Hiding through the warm curtain and entering the shop, samples were lined up in front of the cabinet.

In it, I look at the confectionery corner, which is written for a limited time without hesitation.

I've put in the information in advance, but I'm still wondering if everything looks delicious when I look at the actual product.

Then a man who looked like a shopkeeper appeared in a hurry from the back and greeted him loudly.

"Hey... Kohon! Sorry, I made a mistake!"

I thought I'd discovered who I was for a moment, but apparently I just made a mistake.

"Welcome, customer. Are you sure you want to order?"

It's bad for middle-aged shopkeepers who greet with a gentle smile, but they all look delicious.

However, I thought it would be bad to get lost for too long and decided to ask directly.

"Do you have any recommendations?"

"Of course! All of us are delicious!"

The owner of the yakitori shop who stopped by in the past was the same, but when I went out to buy food, he pushed me to buy all of it.

I am impressed that he is a big businessman, but it was not very helpful.

But I'm basically a jerk, and I hardly ever go out with patience.

Thinking so, it can be said that confectionery is only for a limited time, and if we miss it now, we don't know when we can visit each other next.

She nods small when she turns to the caretaker because she feels bad for asking for it.

Then he stared straight at the owner and ordered with dignity.

"All kinds of limited time confectionery, one at a time."

Then, for some reason, not only the store owner, but also Shiki employees who are actually making sweets, a lot of people rush out from the back and arrange quickly.

"" "Thank you!!! Thank you!!!" "

They are all lowering their heads in tears.I've said it twice, probably because it's important.

Certainly for a limited time, it may be a little unusual for all types of customers to prepare.

Because I eat a small amount of food myself, I will give it to my son after a little tasting, but as for the store side, there is no problem if you buy it.

As I watched the caretaker do the accounting, I was thinking about that.

"All employees, we look forward to seeing you again!"

Before I dived the warm curtain, the shop employees were in the right position and shouting something, but honestly, it was quite embarrassing.

I think it is a good thing not to forget how grateful we are to our customers.

I feel like I have seen people lined up at the entrance of a department store in the future with their heads down somewhere.

But if you have such a big welcome every time, I honestly don't know how to return it.

So I'll bow down and leave the shop.

"If you have a chance, I'll stop by again."

I'll go if I can, but it's not bad for the face.

Leave the luggage to the guards who pride themselves on their strength, and climb the warm curtain before leaving.

He left the confectionery shop without shame.

Now that we have achieved our first goal and are ready, it is time to move the poll to action.

As I walked down the street, looking around with Kyrokyoro, I found a lady standing enthusiastically in front of a public well.

Hearing casually, I discovered that I was talking about the information I was looking for.

So I hid in the alley a little further away with the caretaker and the nearby escort.

"Inari God, please."

"Thank you."

For a limited time, a large chestnut wrapped in bamboo leaves is handed over.

I whispered thank you to the caretaker, and I appreciated it.

The two kids seemed to have purchased their favorites separately, and he was chestnut ampan.

Is that a chestnut tea napkin squeeze?

"If you miss this, the season is over, so it's time to eat."

That's what the caregiver said, carefully carrying simple Japanese confectionery like squeezed with a tea napkin into his mouth.

Indeed, even in the future, the chestnut season is autumn, after which it is almost invisible.

In the Edo period, where conservation technology is not well developed, it is not known whether it will be maintained until spring, even in winter.

Anyway, I was sneaking in to get information from the lady holding the well end meeting while hiding in the back alley, not chestnut soup...

When I heard it, I heard the conversation as if I was speaking at close range.

"I've seen a lot of big stars shining in the night sky lately, but I'm kind of scared.

Something bad was about to happen ─ ─ "

It was as I had expected.

It seems that the Japanese people think of the comet as a sign of bad luck.

Indeed, science today is overwhelmingly unclear.

It's not impossible to be afraid when you only know the theory.

Then another middle-aged woman said something unexpected.

"Well, you didn't do well in science in elementary school."

"What? No, I'm pretty sure. Was it always a red dot?"

Ah, I knew it.

What is the relationship between comets and science grades?

I stopped wandering chestnut soup unexpectedly and concentrated on the well end meeting.

"Apart from our planet, there are many stars in the universe.

This comet is just one of them. "

"That said, I learned geomorphology and astronomy in elementary school.... maybe?"

I remember adding to the textbook I wrote about the movement of the solar system and stars.

Moreover, although astronomical observations have not yet been carried out in earnest, telescopes have been put into practice.

Perhaps we have already captured the comet's movement.

I thought that if I complemented it with the knowledge of the future that I taught myself, scientific verification would be possible even in this era, and while I was thinking about it, the bustling wellbore meetings continued.

"Nonscientific superstition is not going to be so popular right now."

"Because the comet in the night sky was too rare."

"I know how you feel.

Astronomers say it's only once in a hundred years that we get close to Earth. "

It is unclear whether middle-aged women were highly educated or had excellent grades in elementary school, but it is certain that the general public in the Edo period denied unscientific superstition.

Having heard such a conversation, it seemed that there was a big deviation from the world of time drama that I knew.

"The Inari God also promised not to fall on Earth.Don't worry about it. "

"Sure, if Inari says so, it's safe and secure."

That said, I was more disturbed at first, so I remembered that I made an official announcement to the public just in case.

The comet is approaching, but there is no need to worry about falling on Earth.

It was an optimistic decision that perhaps it would be okay, as humans were not destroyed by the fall of giant meteorites until 2200 years ago.

The well end meeting continued while I was thinking.

"But you said it was unscientific.What about Inari God? "

"The Emperor is the real God.It's scientifically proven. "

That's true, too.

Isn't it?

The belief in Inari God is truly great, and the Japanese people completely believe it.

I have not been able to prove scientifically that I am God in general, but where does that confidence come from?

Afterwards, the conversation I heard turned into how wonderful I was and how much I had accomplished so far.

It's about time that my face became red with shame, and I realized that I had completely departed from the Edo period of authentic history.

It is unclear how long the comet was believed to be a sign of luck or ill luck, but at least there seems to be no widespread confusion in Japan.

However, information is gained from many sources, which adds credibility.

Though I heard rumors from everywhere, at least everyone in Edo was very calm.

On the contrary, it's a good opportunity, so let's celebrate anyway!It seems to be called the tail of Inari Omiya God.

It is good to be at peace without confusion, but is this really good?Yes, I was not convinced until the end.
