Inari wants to live in peace
Episode 55 End of War (10) Chestnuts in Fire
Guided to a private room with ample soundproofing and bugging measures, I sat down in a covered cushion and waited for a few minutes with the tea and sweets served.
Eventually, a government official was taken by the caretaker and entered the room with a nervous expression.
Inari, do you want me to call you?
That said, an elderly official, Shinohara, lowers his hips to the cushion placed in front of me.
After a polite greeting, he kept his posture straight and did not speak in silence, waiting for us to speak.
I thought that what I was going to talk about was not something I wanted people to hear. I told the caregiver who acted as a guide that I had been back for a while.
Then, after refilling the tea for both of them, she went out into the hallway in gratitude.
When the door is closed and quiet, hold your breath and open your mouth
"I'm going to tell you something important."
"What's important...?"
While holding a warm hojicha with one hand, it was a loose atmosphere that did not seem to convey a serious project, but Mr. Shinohara's expression was even serious.
"Don't interfere with losing countries."
"... what? Um, what the hell is that?"
I know he's confused, and I don't feel like I can be honest with him.
It's too sudden advice, but ignore it and I repeat myself even more.
"It doesn't matter if you give up the right of the victorious country."
He was stunned, but soon turned into a soft expression and opened his mouth in a hurry.
"But! What did Japan fight for?!
We have despised the lives of many of the scattered soldiers! "
It might be too much to give up the right of the victorious nation.
In World War II, there was no sacrifice to Japan.Other countries have suffered more, but some have still died.
But even if he's talking right, we're not giving up either.
I exhaled a big sigh and told Mr. Shinohara to calm down.
"The militia is essentially self-defense.But the Soviet Union's ultimate goal was Japan. "
That is why Japan had to intervene in World War II.
We can march abroad, but protecting our country is our top priority.
"Those scattered have done their duty as soldiers well and have survived Japan.
I also thank them so much that I can't say it in words. "
We raided major cities in Operation Lightning Fox, but we fought to protect Japan, not to invade.
And thanks to their noble sacrifices, World War II was a victory for the Allies.
My hometown was prevented from becoming a burning field.
However, Mr. Shinohara's voice roughed up his opinions.
"I know very well that they have gone through a very splendid end!
But! That alone won't convince the survivors! "
Really, yeah, that's what I'm saying.
And once again, Mr. Shinohara drinks a sip of tea to calm his feelings.
However, after a short break, the pursuit continued even further.
"By taking control of the losing country and sucking up enormous rights, the people finally ended the war with a victory for Japan.
That's what it feels like to be a consolation to the bereaved. "
It was so correct that there was no sound.Moreover, Mr. Shinohara lowered his head deeply.
"So, Inari God! I hope you are satisfied!"
If I was normal, I would have given up here, but I couldn't be beaten just this time.
Because I know how chaotic the future continent is.
If you are going to control, manage or exploit to gain an interest here, you will lose more profit than you invested in the future, and trouble will come from next to next.
I couldn't let the continent, which was nothing but a scoundrel, get involved.
I don't mind pretending to live in peace.
So make up your mind and take a big, deep breath.
And I spoke magnificently to Mr. Shinohara.
"Now, we will build a new shrine that will enshrine the spirits of martyrs for the nation.
Let's name it Yasukuni Shrine. "
It was a shrine that was talked about a lot in the 2000s, but for some reason it didn't exist in Tokyo.
I don't know when or what it was built for, but maybe it was for the defeated.
It was a good opportunity, so I decided to use it.
It's just a quick suggestion, but I don't care because it's the usual thing.
"If this shrine was built at the will of the Inari gods, the bereaved families would be delighted."
I didn't think I'd made it through it, but Mr. Shinohara's pursuit was not over yet.
Although East Asian rights issues remain, I honestly don't feel like I can pinpoint him.
So I've already given up and decided to push my brain muscle and finish it with this hand.
"Let me tell Shinohara-san what I really mean."
Now tell him to be straightforward and unreasonable, and don't touch him because he's a jerk.
But he obviously gets hardened and makes a serious face.
Honestly, I don't mean to say anything big.
I'm not good at lying, so I always mean it except by wrapping it in oblates.
However, Mr. Shinohara seemed to have a different temper, and the fox ear caught the sound of drinking raw spit on the nervous goku.
"First of all, the losing country is a chestnut in the fire."
It's a language that came to mind, so I don't know if it's appropriate.However, I will explain without hesitation.
"Everyone wants to jump when they hear that the continent has a stake.
But if you reach out, you'll burn yourself and burn to the worst of Japan. "
It was a shocking remark, Mr. Shinohara loses his words.
Still, he puts his hand on his jaw and thinks.
The caretaker just called for the boulder, and the head turns very fast.
"Even if we try to rule the country again in the first place, Japan lacks human resources."
I shake my head and repeat my words because Shinohara-san was about to tell me to manage it as a country.
"Even as I try to feed and get used to it, I bite the owner happy.
However, it would be better if it were done by hand, and you would try to suck all the bones of Japan in the 19th century. "
Save the weak, not frustrate the strong, but be as strong as the weak opponent.
Furthermore, if you can mount unilaterally, I will repeat the act of internal interference wrestling in order to profit fortunately.
That was my perception of the continent next to 220 years.
Since Japan is an adult in this international community, it is not possible to commit inhumane acts.Gentleman only helps defeated countries and manages them to be subordinate to their own.
The trust and achievements we have cultivated cannot be lost.
So I put out the final notice.
"If you want the interests of the continent, do what you want.
But I will never allow you to rely on me for this. "
I've finished everything I have to say.I twisted my missing head and tried my best to explain, so it would be useless to say anything more.
"I gave you my advice.
If you're going to do it, you're going to do it alone. "
I exhaled a big sigh and slowly got up from the cushion.
In conclusion, he turned his back on Mr. Shinohara and left the private room.
After that, become a field and a mountain.
If I move to gain power over the continent, I will never cooperate, even if I am sat down.
If the result is positive, it will be difficult to overcome, but even if it is negative, you deserve it.
However, I don't really know if this advice is right for Japan.
One thing is that reaching out to the continent can disrupt a peaceful life.
That's why we did everything we could to avoid it.
Japan will suffer damage, but it will not fly to me, and if we can avoid trouble in the meantime, there will be no problem.
Whatever it was, I gave the final warning, so I stroked down my little chest as I walked down the corridor of Inari Taisha Shrine towards my house.
