Inari wants to live in peace

In August of Bunjiu three years ago, I don't know if it was kick-ass that I had a cooking match with the United Kingdom, but it was time to appeal to all countries what is called traditional Japanese culture.

Above all, since the proclamation of the founding of the country, the number of foreign tourists has increased.

There were many castles and rich natural heritage sites, but none had yet been built to show them to people from outside.

At that time, the world that feels threatened should not be moved to elimination, so military secrecy and high technical capabilities should be hidden to some extent.

Therefore, the Hokkaido clan lord proposed to build a new attraction to mislead the eyes of other countries.

The Shogunate also undertook joint development in recognition of this, and the Five Ridges were completed in the second year of Keio.

He only had a vast area of land, and what he had to do was truly magnificent.

I also took a private train to the northernmost end of Honshu, from where I boarded a boat to attend the ceremony before the opening of the park.

It has a large star shape from above, combining military efficiency and beauty.

The new and beautiful castle was built with the delusion of other countries.

In addition, it was expected that the purpose of preserving the good old traditional culture for future generations and attracting more tourists would be fully achieved.

Inari God, what do you think?

Matsumae-san, the modern Hokkaido lord, asks me a question with a confident expression.

So after thinking a little, I answered clearly.

"Beautiful garden... no, it's a castle."

Considering that it is a single facility, including a star-shaped and wide moat, I think it is still appropriate to call the castle.

Then I repeated my words to Mr. Matsumae, who was feeling better.

"Not only white fox and rice butter sandwiches, but also raw fox caramels seem to be selling well.

At the same time as expanding new sales channels, I think it will become popular as a tourist facility. "

There are many souvenir shops near the Five Ridges.

In addition to castle-related goods, Hokkaido confectionery, which has just been discussed, is sold in a pile.

The relationship with the Five Ridges was thin, but sales were out of the box.

Besides souvenirs to foreign countries, some people are famous in Japan, and it was so popular that it was always listed when the Hokkaido Fair opened.

So I'm glad the foreigners like it, but at the same time I've been worried about it.

This time, I asked Mr. Matsumae casually.

"And why do you display even swords, bows, and cannons?"

Around this time today, long after the war stopped, we are deliberately planting weapons used in the war in various places on the Five Ridges.

Not only heavy firearms, but also battleships and airplanes have been secretly put into practical use, and nothing but antiques have bothered me a little.

"To show it to people who come to sightseeing.There is also the protection of old Japanese culture.

Please be assured that there is no gunpowder in the cannon or ammunition, and that armor and swords are only on display. "

I think with my hands on a small mouth.

In other words, the Five Ridges are a facility for the whole world to know that the samurai world has come to an end.

Even before that, Japan was an obsolete country where cannons and swords were used to thump.

It is also a camouflage operation that has recently begun to modernize.

I've never actually used any of these weapons, but I was impressed because I've seen them and been targeted many times.

"To the extent that we can't afford to do that, we have also prepared a display tag."

Show me the tag?

It was me who tilted my neck because the topic had changed, but Matsumae-san looked at a place that seemed to have arrived.

When I noticed you, I was towed by an old-fashioned car, and something big was brought right in front of me.

I don't know the details, but it looks like a machine gun.

It's an old automatic machine gun.

He was right, too, apparently.But the question is, what are we going to use this for?

"It doesn't taste good to divulge military secrets in a circumstantial way, but it's okay with older firearms.

So I will make you think that this is the latest equipment in Japan and deceive foreign eyes. "

If Matsumae-san was right, it was definitely a show bill.

The general technical capabilities of foreign countries nowadays can be estimated, albeit roughly speaking.

Without underestimating Japan, I don't feel threatened.Such exquisite salt plums were automatic machine guns.

But then I look at the old machine gun and I come up with something.

So I suddenly put it in my mouth again as usual.

"Can you shoot that machine gun at me for a second?"

""... what? ""

He said it wasn't loaded, but it should be ready for normal use if it's serviced.

So I am often used to movies, animations, cartoons, etc.I wanted to avoid and play countless flying bullets and try to do such acts.

A weapon that was once shot by a slave merchant with a burrow gun, but was not comparable to that of that time.

After more than 300 years, it seems that not only the body but also the spirit have stopped in the first year of high school.

I thought the Star Wars knights looked good from childhood, and somehow thought that such a situation would be something I wanted to try one day.

Bullets don't hurt when they hit a fox girl anyway.

This is an even better opportunity, so I'm going to come up with the goal of gathering information about this body.

In other words, the performance of machine guns and the physical abilities of Inari gods are the winners! That means...

I had a sword lent for the time being, imposed the constraint that I would take care of the doctor immediately after one hit, and proposed to Matsumae-san to start as soon as I was ready.
