Inari wants to live in peace

Episode 52 Japan - Germany Defense Agreement (2) Japan - US Baseball

In Showa 9, information came in that the American Great League team was coming to Japan.

Although Japanese and American baseball has been played in the past, it will come back to Japan again on November 2, 1985.

Why this is such a big deal is because that Babe Ruth is coming.

It is said that on the fourth day, there will be sixteen games all over the Jingu stadium in Tokyo and twelve other cities in the country.

And while there is no relationship between Japan and the United States at the moment, it may be possible to deepen rapprochement by playing baseball games.

In any case, these festive events were fun, so the light footwork supreme ruler rushed to support them as expected.

Then, on November 4th, I dived at the entrance gate before the start of the match and sat down in the King's seat.

The seats were already full, and I saw fans coming from abroad as well as Japanese.

Then, as a matter of course, the interview team rushed over, but the camera and microphone were somehow pointed at me instead of the athlete.

"What does Inari God think of the Japan-US friendly game?"

It's a difficult question to answer, but I just took a ride on the festival because I was summoned.

I didn't like or dislike baseball.

So, let me give you a simple answer.

"I'm not focused on winning or losing.I hope it will help deepen the rapprochement between the two countries through baseball.

So I'm going to support both the Japanese and American teams. "

I knew the rules of baseball, but I didn't really care.

However, when it comes to competitions between countries, the atmosphere in the venue is somehow exciting and exciting.

I'm not interested in sports, but I'm sure it's like watching World Cup and Olympic broadcasts.

Before the reporter moves on to the next interview, a loud announcement will be made on the baseball field, with Japanese and American athletes aligned in a spacious ground.

After a series of pre-match routines, he was eventually told to play the ball aloud.

From there, I could only say that the Great League was strong.

Although Japan was desperate, it was defeated in less than a step.

I was fully satisfied with watching only one game of Japanese and American baseball and performing the official duty of showing my face.

So I spent the next day at home.

At best, it was television news with a horizontal view of the sights of Japanese and American baseball.

In conclusion, it was not only the first game I watched that was defeated.

After that, he didn't squeal and didn't fly, and eventually he didn't win.

Still, it must be a close fight, and I have achieved the pleasure of stealing several shocks from celebrity Babe Ruth, whom I know.

But in terms of results, losing was losing.

As the time went on, the Japanese team became a backwater team, losing fifteen games, and it was finally the day of the final game.

On my way home from the early morning jog, I visited Inari Taisha in a hurry from the great men of the Japan Baseball League, desperately lowered my head and asked for help without even hearing my stakeholder stop.

Essentially, visitors meet with Inari Taisha Shrine, and only special guests come to our house.

So I told him to wait for a while at Inari Taisha Shrine.

In the meantime, I wash away the sweat that I haven't borrowed a shower with my usual routine and then rush to eat the breakfast prepared by the caregiver.

When you're ready, you'll be behind the great men of the Japan Baseball Federation in the gaze.

Then he lowered his hips dignified in a cushion spread out on a high tatami mat mat.

They'll be in a hurry, and I don't have a hobby to take it lightly.

The purpose was also to hear from officials of Inari Taisha Shrine while eating meals.

So I put the greeting there, and suddenly it hit me the most.

"I don't belong to any team and I'm not an enthusiastic fan.So, are you sure that's okay? "

"I don't care! I just want a reward!"

It is a genuine appeal by the representative of the Japan Baseball Federation.

"If you lose like this! Japanese baseball could catch fire!"

I put my hand to my mouth and think.

There are various sports organizations in Japan today.Soccer, basketball, volleyball, swimming, and more.

If we lose all the games with the United States here, there will be fewer baseball fans, and we are more likely to go to other sports for that.

But to be honest, his complaint didn't matter to me.

In the first place, baseball was so popular that it was broadcast on television even in the 2000s that animation broadcasting scheduled for the extension game was cancelled.

I have had the experience of being made to lick bitter juice many times in the past.

Besides, it must have been temporary when it was completely defeated and popular.

If the baseball league works hard, fans will come back one day.

That's why I opened my mouth in the middle of nowhere.

"If baseball goes under fire, other sports will be activated for that time, and that won't be a reason for me to help."

"Oh, no! God Inari! Thank you very much!"

That said, he sat down deep enough to rub his head against the tatami mat.

Is there no pride in being the representative of the baseball league?

However, I am not willing to help you unconditionally, so I will think for a moment and come up with an alternative.

"I can't help it. Let's hear the complaint."

"Oh, is that true!?"

Wherever he went earlier, he gazed at me with a smile.

I wonder who gets the smile of a pretty old man.After coughing up a little while thinking so, I put a nail on it just in case.

"But we can't just play baseball in a few sports."

If I help him here, it is obvious that other sports organizations will sue in chains.

I wanted to keep a peaceful life, and I wanted to avoid it.

"If Japan loses even after the second half of the match, let me help you."

"It doesn't matter! Thank you!Thank you! "

The baseball league representative stopped me, but he kept telling me how much he appreciated me.

By the way, it's good to join, but there's one big problem.

Although I know the rules of baseball, this is the first time I actually play with a professional baseball player.

I wish I could do something with my fox daughter's power, but I'm worried about how useful it would be in the end because it's a team play.

I have no idea how the representatives of the baseball league would use me.

Is there a substitute or a backup player, or is there anything else?

Best of all, if possible, it is best for the Japanese representative to work hard to win and not have an opportunity to play.

With that in mind, I exhaled a big sigh in my heart.
