Inari wants to live in peace

Chapter 37 The Age of Peace (1) Famine

It has been two years since Tianming, and I am going on a national tour.

Briefly explaining why, there was a nationwide famine.

Nevertheless, Japan today has a fairly high rate of food self-sufficiency.

There are no starving deaths.The farmer's overall inactivity raises the price of food.

As a result, we have to save lives for a while.

These circumstances also led me to go directly to the local area to offer encouragement in order to energize the Japanese people in the difficult circumstances of the famine that I have seen rarely in recent years.

In the future, it is a normal kind of consolation, but it is unclear whether it was done in the Edo period.

If the imperial court and the government chased after him, it was certain that he would be the second one to burn Inari, and somehow I felt sorry.

However, I usually hold it in the back of the forest, but in case of emergency, the footwork is abnormally light.

So there was nothing like going to the whole country to console me.

By the way, although my real age is over a hundred years old, my mental age is almost unchanged and is close to that of a 10-year-old fox girl.

Even though he is the supreme ruler of Japan, Inari also serves as the god of Inari.

Sometimes I inadvertently soften it, but it's probably adorable if it's just the appearance, so I can't say it's a healing system.

However, because I am a small citizen, I think that overvaluing and being very popular with the public due to too many attributes is not appropriate.

Therefore, I wanted you to underestimate me if possible, and I leaked a nowhere to go moan.

It was two years since the clock passed and the weather was irregular for a long time, making it as cold as winter even in summer.

This is clearly a sign of famine, and weather forecasters across the country have submitted papers.

Therefore, I also felt a sense of crisis with the light footwork, and decided to conduct a nationwide tour to warn and support as soon as possible.

At that time, the Steam Locomotive dedicated to the Emperor was used for the first time at Inari Taishamae Station.

It appears to be heavily armed as well as robust enough to handle any situation.

From my point of view, it only seemed like a waste of taxes, so I told him that I could use a regular steam locomotive with a tender look.

Then the officials of the shogunate, who had stood nearby, shouted out their disagreement.

"Inari God is the face of Japan!

The train that he rides on is a shame!Local residents who come to the condolences will be discouraged! "

He certainly has a point.A general vehicle is fine if you travel or take a breath, but this time it is a consolation to energize the Japanese people.

I am the face of Japan, and the people will not be able to live in peace if I am not upset and prestigious in any crisis situation.

But still, in the future that I knew, there was a big booming when a great man just ate a cutlet curry to take charge of the experiment and it was a waste of taxes.

Then I leaned my neck to wonder if a steam locomotive like that for ordinary people would be more suitable now that the people are suffering.

"It is the general idea of the Japanese people."

"Hah... if it's the general intent of the people, there's no choice."

It is unclear whether the official words of the Shogun are truly correct.

However, it seems that they advertised the departure day extensively, and there were already a large crowd of Edo townspeople outside Inari Taishamae Station.

Apparently, they heard rumors that the Inari God steam locomotive will be unveiled for the first time this time.

I'm delighted to hear that a terrible famine is coming to Japan.

It was clear that the waste of taxes and the blood tax of the people were no longer in the eyes of such things.

There is relatively little room in each clan's storage right now, so we don't need that many supplies.Therefore, as a prediction, only the Inari God steam locomotive is sufficient.

In the meantime, I confirmed that I was ready, and I told the drop-off, the railroad mania, or a large group of people who didn't know what it was for.

Well then, I'm going to go and offer my condolences.

"Hail Inari, Hail Inari! Hail Inari!!!"

Then came a great chorus for the shogunate officials to take the headlines and send me grand.

To the vortex of joy as the air trembled, the expression muscle suddenly began to pull, but I managed to endure it with a single piece of paper.

Instead of winning the shame, I boarded a private train to escape and set out for an endless national tour.

Outside the special trains, they made romantic and luxurious decorations for nothing, but they didn't lose inside either.

There are plenty of private rooms as well as toilets to keep you comfortable for a long period of time.

Of course, it is a fixed bed, not a tatami mat or futon, to prevent falling from sudden stops or sudden starts.

Besides, it was equipped with a unit bus.

As for me, I know Japan with a mix of Western cultures, so I remembered the private room of the hotel I stayed at on the trip, and I felt kind of nostalgic.

By the way, the best thing about it was that there was a restaurant car.

The skilled cook also seems to be going on a long journey, and he says he's making up for the lack of food in the famine with ingenuity.

I added that I knew everything about my preferences, so I was a little scared because my faith was too high.

But I thought it would be good if the taste was positive.

It was originally time to relax while on the move, but this time the interviewer was accompanying me.

The reason is that more than a hundred years have passed since the opening of the Shogun, and more people have never seen or heard of me.

At the beginning of the Edo Shogunate, he was now the god emperor after the departure of General Kanagi. In any case, he kept his distance from politics and spent most of his time behind the sanctuary forest.

As a result, the area around Inari Taisha Shrine is no longer visible to local people unless famine or natural disasters occur.

For me, this is a wish and a fulfillment.

If you are gradually forgotten from people's memories, you may one day be able to retreat from the Emperor of God and return to a normal girl.

However, the Japanese people do not think so, and it seems that there are a large number of people who would like to meet Inari God in person and learn more.

This is absolutely crazy! Even if I screamed in my heart, it was very sad that it didn't reach anywhere.

With all these circumstances in mind, I gather a group of journalists in a restaurant vehicle to bring my voice to the public.

Then I had a warm cup of green tea and decided to talk.

The janitor and caretaker stayed away from me, and the interviewer lined up the chairs in front of me and started asking questions.

"How will Inari God live?"

It is my role now to answer that.

It seems that the shogunate officials have vetted them, so any answers will not cause any problems, so I feel comfortable.

"You can see the view from the window or rest."

"Well, if you get off the train, it's a consolation activity, so I don't think you'll have time off."

I just like to relax and relax on the edge by myself, and I didn't think so much, and I feel tired only when I use fox fire too much.

However, I watched the reporter take a note enthusiastically, and thought that it was not that far off, and I didn't have to correct it, so I put green tea in my mouth.

"So, which do you prefer, a custard or an ancho?"

"It's Anko, and I like grains of it.But I don't hate custards either. "

When this consolation was decided, I sneaked out of town and bought baked food because I couldn't come back to Edo for a while.

At that time, I wondered whether it was Anko or Custard, and I bought both as usual.

But I think it's just a coincidence, but why would I ask such a question? I lean my head.

"Does it make sense to make my favorite article?"

"When it comes to Inari God, it is the Japanese people who want to know everything."

I do want to know about people I care about, no matter how trivial it is.

Besides, it has not just begun that I am greedier than sex.

So speaking of offerings to Inari God, there are many people who recommend you, but because the size of the baby girl is a small snack, I sometimes divide the amount that cannot be eaten by the caregiver and Kintetsu.

I nodded convincingly in the first place, but I panicked a lot with the next question from the reporter.

"So, where does Inari God wash his body when bathing?"

"I don't understand the meaning of the question!"

Where exactly is there demand, such as where I wash it first?

However, the press corps is diving through the narrow gates, and the content of the questions also deals with those that have many requests from Japanese citizens.

I can hardly believe it, but all the reporters were real.

Still, I was dyeing my cheeks and answering them, so they pulled back for a while.

"Sure, I didn't have to ask right now."

"Hah... I guess so."

Apparently you understood, I exhaled and stroked down my modest chest.

However, their pursuit continued.

"When Inari God bathed, we had to check."

"That's crazy!"

In the present era, the feeling of repudiation against naked is thin, and it easily exposes the skin.

I am based on the values of the future, but recently I have become quite accustomed to witnessing others naked occasionally when I go out, but I have not moved much.

However, if the subject is himself, the story is different.

Eventually, when the press group switched the weapon of popular wisdom, I allowed the same-sex caregiver to accompany me to the bathhouse.

And I checked carefully where to wash it, and it was on the record.

Briefly describing the nationwide consolation, it was still a wash away.

Besides rising prices for crops and groceries, stirring large pots became the classic flow as usual.

It was good not to starve to death, but it eventually became a six-year national tour.

In the second half, I sincerely lamented that I was no longer needed, but I can't help it because the Japanese people are enthusiastically welcoming me.

After all, I tried my best to perform my official duties, driven by the urge to go home.
