Inari wants to live in peace

Chapter 56: Towards Retreat (2) Candy and Whip

In 1948, Japan renounced all the rights of the victorious nation.

And the Soviet Union replaced Russia, and it was decided at the Inari Summits that the countries that had been stained with communism would be ruled by the Union and painted with capitalism.

Unfortunately, however, the losing country had a tough eye on Japan.

Because even though I gave up my interest, I went through a lot of riots in World War II.

Though it is a rule of war to kill or be killed, many people, like me, prefer emotion to reason.

So there was no choice but for the complaining country to emerge.

This is around the time of the day, when newspaper and television news began to feature the hate speech of other countries.

However, the warm sun in spring was pleasant, and I was relaxing on the edge just because I had nothing to do with it.

When I saw the clock, I noticed that it was almost ten o'clock, so I got up and headed to the living room.

Then he took out the cherry mochi from the cupboard on a small plate and went back to the edge and lowered his hips.

Looking at the wolves running around the garden with pleasure, they carefully cut into pieces with bamboo skewers.

Hmm, sweet.

When you put it in a bamboo skewer, the exquisite sweetness of this mixture of salt and filling spreads into your mouth.

Basically, I like everything as long as it tastes good, so I can eat both koshi and grain bean paste.

As it was for a while, I felt the spring in the cherry mochi and enjoyed the pokapoka all over my body, relaxing with the wolves.

Incidentally, the Inari Taisha shrine has rigorously reviewed the offerings to me, but the items that luckily arrived like the cherry mochi this time are widely advertised as having been donated by each shop to Inari God.

Somehow, the name value is much worse than the restless man of the proper history, but I didn't care much about it when I was hiding in the middle of the sanctuary forest.

However, I thought it would be good if this kind of peaceful life continued for a long time if it came true.

At that time, the superior fox ears caught the footsteps approaching our house, so unfortunately, the sun seemed to be over, and he exhaled quietly.

Incidentally, there are two main types of visitors to the sanctuary forest.

It is a visitor who brings trouble and consultation with a nearby escort and caregiver who delivers newspapers, milk, and many other offerings every morning and evening.

The time for the Kintetsu and the caretaker to visit was almost fixed, so I could expect the latter this time.

During the Edo period, close friends and hidden generals visited a lot of tea and drinks, but the current government agencies are changing very violently.

So, most executives were at best familiar with each other, but I had no resistance to spending time alone.

Moreover, if we are not very involved in human society, we will not realize our desire to leave without knowledge, so we accepted that the current situation is convenient.

Regardless of my aspirations, Foreign Minister Shinohara recently visited my house.

I open the sliding door at the front door for the time being and then walk down the short hallway to the living room.

I'm a guest, so I take the cherry mochi I was going to eat in the afternoon out of the cupboard, boil the hojicha, and put it on the table.

"This is, this is polite."

"No, don't worry."

With a regular formal greeting, I also put my own ginger tea and sat down on my favorite cushion.

And since I don't need it in front of my mouth, I asked why I came to our house, as usual, in a straightforward manner.

He immediately answered me if he knew that.

"In fact, recently, the wind from the losing countries to Japan has become harsh and difficult."

Hmm?

That alone didn't tell me what it was.

So I asked in a little more detail as I sipped the broth.

"Japan waived its interest and did not demand anything from the losing countries.

This is something that the international community highly values. "

Mr. Shinohara stops there for a moment and exhales small.

"But it is also true that Japan has killed many people."

You have to pay for the fire powder that comes down.Otherwise, it could have burned to the worst of Japan, and the mainland could have burned to the ground.

Besides, they're going to kill us.

If we don't do this again, they'll kill us all.

So, according to Shinohara, people have reason, but basically, it seems like a creature that moves with emotion.

Just because the war is over and both sides have swords, we can't make up right away.

Hazardous roots are those that will remain in future generations if they succeed.

"Japan has taken a lot of lives, so we should pay compensation to the losing countries and apologize directly in front of the survivors!"

This is what happens when you open your mouth.

I tried to argue aggressively against him who suddenly ran into something that didn't make sense, but Mr. Shinohara, who looked bad, spoke first.

"Let me tell you, this is not my statement, it is the claim of the losing country."

"Yeah, well... I guess so."

If Japanese officials say so, they will not wait for the flames.

However, it was very difficult for the world to think that something like this might happen in the future.

Anyway, Mr. Shinohara explained to me that the government had a problem with the response, and there were points of convergence.

"So you're asking me for a solution to the situation?"

"Yes, that's right."

But that's what I said, but if I had a plan to deal with the trouble from other countries, I'd rather hear it.

No matter how long it takes, I don't see any sign of solving this problem at all.

It was the same in Japan in the 2000s, so there was no way for me to do it.

Therefore, I will speak with dignity without shame.

"Getting along with people from different countries and ethnic groups is very difficult.

It will also be very difficult to neutralize negative emotions with positive emotions. "

Love and devotion are easily stained with anger and hatred, as hundreds of goodwill are smeared into one malice.

That's why the war won't be gone forever, but when I think about the area, my head gets stiff.

Leaving it aside for now, I followed up with Mr. Shinohara with a small exhalation.

"There is no one-size-fits-all solution.

But suppressing negative emotions is possible. "

Take a sip of Hojicha here and take a breath.

I twisted my missing head and thought a lot, so I was about to have a fever of wisdom.

"Inari, what does that look like?"

So he stepped forward and asked.

I stare straight at him and say the answer.

"More powerful than anger and hatred.In other words, let them give in with their military might. "

In the 2000s, the nuclear weapons possessed by the United States would fall under that category.

By showing overwhelming power and forcibly suppressing grievances in other countries, the United States is becoming a global police officer and maintaining international peace.

Japan and Australia are secretly working together to develop nuclear weapons by pulling researchers from other countries, but for the moment, they don't intend to show up.

So I couldn't use this hand, and I didn't want to take leadership in the international community.

It is the second-largest and less conspicuous activity for eternity, and you can enjoy something delicious somehow.

I think that's what Japanese looks like.

But there he made a sharp point.

"It has already become clear that Japan has the highest combat power in the international community.

But it seems that the waiver of the right of the victorious nation has been seen to be weak. "

It was highly regarded by the Allies and not poorly received by the losers.

But by not swinging the whip and showing a generous attitude, Japan mistakenly assumed that it would not be angry to say anything.

A country has emerged that takes an attitude of licking and decay, even though it is a polar one.

Incidentally, the militia was trying to defend themselves during World War II, so it was the European side that was showing overwhelming power.

With regard to the neighboring continent, although they responded immediately if the territorial waters were violated, that was basically all.

The international community is not just a country to speak of.

Sometimes it is necessary to hold them down with force, but I don't want to do that if possible.

I felt really troubled and exhaled a big sigh in my heart.
