Inari wants to live in peace

It was six years since Kayo, and finally something to come came.

Four black ships showed up off the coast of Uraga.

However, it has not yet landed, and when we collate the information while observing it with the latest telescope, it turns out that we are conducting surveys of Edo Bay.

However, it was certain that the fishing industry and Japanese ships were in the way, and it was easy to imagine that contact would be made and a statement would be issued from there.

As for me, I was irritated to come aboard a military ship and spy on myself with dignity.

However, it was also true that I felt that the time had finally come for the founding of the country, and that I could no longer be here or standing.

And how the residents of Edo take this shocking news.Somehow I wanted to know.

Worst of all, I have to hurry up to Inari Shrine's special stage and call out to calm everyone down.

The officials of the Shogun who came to our house to report the visit of the Black Ship did not see any upset.

When I tried asking questions, the residents didn't panic and were calm.

But this may have deliberately misled me to alleviate my troubles.

Officials at the Shogun said they had grasped that the Black Ship would show up even though it was undetermined when it would come from a source.

Broadly speaking:

One, four warships are required for the mission to succeed, three of which are large steam warships.

Secondly, the Japanese may know about steam ships in books, but they will be able to recognize the military power of the modern nation by looking at them with their own eyes.

Three, just as against the Chinese, it would have more advantages to complain of fear against the Japanese than to complain of friendship.

Fourthly, negotiations in Nagasaki should be avoided, as the Netherlands is expected to interfere.

Such a Japanese expedition plan was in place.

In addition to anonymous sources, the Dutch shopkeeper contacted us regarding the dispatch of the fleet.

It's classified American information, isn't it?I didn't say anything, but I screamed in my heart.

However, honestly, I don't really know, but it seems to be spreading around the world that Japan is a goddamn fish slug, and I am usually angry that it is a joke, but it is troublesome to think that it is a threat from other countries, and especially this time, it was really helpful.

Thanks to this, the Black Ship showed up in Edo Bay, as it has always been.

If it seemed impossible to win a battle against Japan, he settled down on peaceful negotiations and did not come aboard a military ship to intimidate.

But anyway, I was very curious about how Edo Townsfolk were handling the incident.

So he was not there, whether he was there or standing, and remembered, but it was a good day.

As a result, we moved the nostalgic poll back into action.

The time is 17 o'clock on July 8. It is not yet summer, but it is sunny, so it is a warm temperature.

The Edo townspeople seemed to be on their way home after work and school, and the boulevard was quite busy.

Also, because the sun is setting, the prospects are dim and poor.

However, since the invention of electricity, street lights have been installed in major places.

In addition, bare light bulbs and electronics are beginning to spread to each household.

Therefore, it won't be dark until the evening in Edo.

Anyway, when I asked the caretaker to disguise myself, he chose a white dress and a straw hat.

Sink your ears and wrap the tail of your fox around your hips, and your hair is as usual dumplings.

I don't know why this costume is, but I'm sure it's light and easy to move.

Because it's different from the usual witch clothes, it's hard to find out who you really are.

Anyway, I went out from Inari Taisha Shrine and started walking in the town of Edo, where the sun was setting.

Along with the family caretaker and Kintetsu, he was properly hanging on the main street and listening to rumors, and a tilemaker on the wooden box in the center of the crowd was reading something aloud under the street lights.

I figured I'd be selling paper, so it was a good opportunity, so I decided to let you know, and I came a little closer.

"Come closer! Look!

Four black ships have arrived at Edo Bay!Tokugawa Ieyeki (Tokugawa Ieyeki), who can be presented by the current general Kaiji!What kind of judgment will you make! "

For the future, tiles are newspapers and they already seem to have the bulletin.

And the people around them are all looking interesting.

Some people rushed in the direction of Edo Bay to see the rumored black boat without buying paper.

I know that the incident is well covered in tiles as I gaze at the distance.

That means it's a big event to decorate one side.

After hearing about it for a while, he was riding on a wooden box, and once he got down to the ground, drank water or sandwiched between breaks, while another employee was selling tiles.

After a few minutes, a man with confidence in lung capacity once again rides on a wooden box and introduces the newspaper article again from the beginning.

"Come closer! Look!Decorate one side of our tiles!Of course it's Inari God! "

Alright! I've been waiting for you!

After all, Inari-sama must be on one side!

Yeah... yeah? Something's wrong.

It is still good that there is a good economic call to wonder about the contents of the tiles.

However, the arrival of the Masashi Black Ship should be a major event leading to the end of the Edo Shogunate and triggering the founding of the nation.

And yet, it seems that one side of the tile is somehow decorated with my article.

However, there is still hope.

Maybe it's an article about the Black Ship with myself as the supreme ruler of Japan.

It is the Inari God who stands above the current Kaisei Great General.

Though we're off the front lines, it's not entirely unrelated.

"Inari God's favorite sweet! That's it!"

Having heard his dialogues, I am stunned.

This is because the confectionery I received as a gift or when I walked around the town in Edo was introduced from tenth to fourth place.

In addition, gourmet magazines also have a disgraceful amount of information that explains shop information and even recommended confectionery.

"Well, if you want to know from first to third place!Buy a tile and see for yourself! "

"No, give me some!"

"Give me some too!"

"Every time! Thank you for subscribing!"

Then the tiles sold like flying tiles, and until the noise settled down, there was no place to read more.

Anyway, business is good.

I'm sure the caretaker and the nearby guard leaked the information, but I didn't say anything, so I don't mind.

But since my personal confectionery ranking becomes the seed of rice, it is something the world does not understand.

Incidentally, according to the caretaker, one side of this tile changes every day, but the Inari God association has been decorating the top for many years, and it is also good for readers.

I thought the Emperor was a Japanese face, but I didn't expect him to become so popular.

In the first place, apart from my usual jogging, I rarely leave the house.

I often thought the story wouldn't go on, but the caretaker and Kintetsu come to deliver their luggage every day and sometimes invite them home to chat.

In addition, I receive quite frequent consultations from officials of the Edo Shogunate, and if I have any concerns or make serious decisions, I convene a meeting during the viewing of Inari Taisha Shrine.

Considering this, it may be surprising that there is little time to live a relaxed and peaceful life in a house in the back of the forest.

But the information leakage is something I keep my eyes shut.

After all, my hobbies and personal rankings have spread, and it has no significant impact on the public.

Above all, I don't actually know that I'm a nerd or that the contents of my fox daughter are ordinary people.

The important secret is that it is well protected.

(But I am in trouble. The reaction to the Black Ship is too thin.)

The biggest problem for me now is that the Japanese people react too thinly to the black ship coming.

If so, isn't there a strange ship coming off Uraga?Ah, a black ship from another country.What a black boat. And the conversation is over.

In addition, let's talk about Inari God more than that, so exciting with another topic.

It is troublesome to make a fuss from top to bottom, but it is a big problem because no founding fathers are born out of total indifference.

In the worst case scenario, we will have to continue our clandestine policy.

Then, Tokugawa Shogunate will rule Japan forever, and I will not be able to stand on top of it.

So I can't help it, but I'm determined to fix the trajectory by forcing a spear in here.

But I can't fight if I'm hungry.

I went out for a limited time, so I want to get some sweets.

Immediately after that decision, he turned his back to the tile shop, which was still washing away Inari God, and left quickly.
