Inari wants to live in peace

Episode 47 World War I (5) Inarikan

I stopped at the exhibition hall when I got back to the Nihonkan and cut off my engine and took off my seat belt.

After confirming that the surrounding staff has secured the tire securely, open the door and get off.

He took a big deep breath and nodded casually before leaving the exhibition.

"I don't really feel like it.Shall we go?

"Inari God! Thank you for riding next door!"

"No, I enjoyed it too, and I don't need to thank you."

In response, after confirming that Campaign Girl would resume explaining the exhibit, we left the Japanese Pavilion behind.

It was the last difficulty built right next door.Though I couldn't avoid it at the Tokyo Taisho Exposition, I was very concerned.

But I want you to forgive me for being so stupid.

"Inarikan doesn't have to be honest."

"" "Of course not!!!" "

Not only the janitor and caretaker, but also the guests who listened to my whispers all at once denied it.

For this reason, I had no choice but to give up saying anything anymore.

After exhaling a huge sigh, he stepped forward heavily and entered the final facility.

The exhibits in the hall were the opposite of the latest.

The archaeologists judged it to be of historical value, but it was lined with all the old things.

Although there is nothing particularly novel, it seems to be crowded with the largest number of visitors in the building.

Moreover, the person's entry raises the visibility of the event.

The eyes of the surrounding people gather at once, and the smile collapses unexpectedly and the face is drawn.

But even if you stop near the entrance, it doesn't start, so prepare yourself, step out, and look at the exhibit along the way.

Then I found a broken dog sleigh in the glass case, chipped or worn.

The description describes the dog sleigh on which Inari God was riding.

"I miss it. It's the dogsleigh I was on.

But this is not the first generation. "

I changed trains quite frequently, so I don't remember how many generations ended up.

The caretaker asks if you have noticed that.

"What happened to the first dogsleigh?"

"After the battle of Fujinawate, my axle leg broke on the way back and I couldn't drive."

Now that they know who they are, it is written in the textbook that Inari God is the battle against Tadayumoto Tominaga.

In addition to the battle of Fujinawate, most Japanese people knew that I had done various things in the villages on the way.

But, well, I'll leave that behind and continue the story.

"After that, I returned to Inariyama.

I asked the carpenter to fix it, but the carpenter told me it was faster to rebuild it from scratch. "

At that time, the street was barely maintained, and no matter how light the fox daughter was, it was made of wood, so if I kept using it, the rattling would come out immediately.

"I was attached to it because it was my first time making it, but I had to switch to a second generation dog sleigh."

Honestly, I don't remember exactly how many times I repaired or replaced a dogsleigh.

Still, I was the first one to make it, so it is very impressive and attractive.

Now I can no longer ride a dogsleigh.

Still, when I closed my eyes, I remembered running around the mountains with my first family, as if it were yesterday.

I appreciate that my memory won't fade forever.

The caretaker looked at the dogsleigh for several generations and called out to me, who was nostalgic and slightly tearful.

"By the way, Inari God."

"What is it?"

I tilt my neck slightly, wondering if there was something I was worried about in the statement I just made.

I'm the first dogsleigh, but have you had a stroke since?

"As soon as I got back to the village, the priest offered to take it back.After that, I don't know. "

When it became clear that repair was impossible, the priest of the village at the foot strongly hoped to take it back.

So give it to him, it's clear.

Well then, the first dogsleigh is on display at Aichi's local museum.

Kintetsu will explain to me what he is tilting his neck with his hands to see if he has reached a point in the explanation he has just given.

"The house where Inari God lived is open as a local museum."

Honestly, I didn't know.

It's been over 300 years since Inariyama, but I didn't think that was happening now.

"Of course, it is as important a cultural property as this dogsleigh, and it has become part of the national treasure."

"Eh?... eh?"

I didn't care what happened to the old house because I didn't think much about it since I moved.

"I left things that I couldn't carry and didn't need when I moved.Maybe you, too? "

"Inari God's daily necessities are also publicly displayed.Can you see it? "

"No, no... I won't."

I refused somewhat, but I didn't like entering the Inari Hall at the Exposition.

I definitely didn't want to look directly at the sightseeers whose original home was a local museum, decorated with everyday essentials, or looking forward to it.

I was getting a little embarrassed, so I looked around trying to change my mood.

Then I found the sacred clothes that I was wearing when I went to the upper lobby.

Oh, I miss this.

It's the godsuit I was wearing all over Uero.

The caretaker at the side reacted, so I told her to listen.

"At first, I was going to go upstairs in my usual witch costume."

Heat and cold can be ignored, and the usual witch clothes are all-purpose.

So at first, I thought it would be better if it stayed the same.

"But Matsudaira... uh, Tokugawa-san gently dressed me on the way because it would be cold in the morning and evening."

I don't say it was the most fun in the old days.

But I had a close friend and I spent the same time.For me, each and every one of them is an irreplaceable memory.

"But Oda-san, if you destroy your mind, the fire will cool down again!It doesn't matter how cold it is!And I laughed out loud. "

The caretaker is upset, but the interviewers around him have been taking notes with enthusiasm.

It's not in the history textbook, but I wonder what this will do.

"Oh, what does that say again?"

"Actually, Mr. Oda is right, and I don't mind.I had fun, too. "

Within Japan, which was completely fox-dyed, there was no one to treat them as friends anymore.

Sometimes I avoid breaking up with each other because it is hard to break up if they progress too much.

But I switched to watching my grandson from my grandmother's point of view, so it's okay now.

Soon afterwards, there was a tide that it was unreasonable to speak casually to Inari God, and between me and other people, there was something like an invisible wall.

It's good to live in peace or live a life without waves, but it's hard to say.

Still, every morning during the jog, children who look close talk amusely.

The adults stop, but I have a good relationship because I am dealing with them with a smile.

There are also wolves in the family.So I didn't think I'd miss you at all.

I look at the Inari Hall exhibit along the route.

I was vaguely thinking that if I were to help and retire one day, there would be no one to thank for these antiques.
