The 47
Panic spread in the car, the situation was tense to mange everything inari said,
" oh.. Don't worry we are not like what you are thinking."
Ed look at him with suspicion
" but.. What about momotaro? "
Jihgen ask.
" they are all gone that what I can tell you now
Jake sigh in disappointment
" then can you explain what is earth demon spices are? "
Jake replied " let me tell you that ed, in Simple word they are the demon like spices who lives on earth in simple terms mythical creatures."
Ed was quite unsatisfied with the answer
The car stop after some mile.
Ed look out if window.
They were in shingawa all through he doesn't really see the area but he was not interested in it.
To see it is an city which is normal in looking, by seeing it normal city of Japan, it is part of Tokyo prefecture but it doesn't have loud as Tokyo were some people are doing there daily chores clamly silently.
Were they was there was an vending machine and loud noise was coming out of it. Probably because of freezer in it.
Then ed look at the place where car has stopped.
It was quit a good house the door was made out of wood and it was two storey building by outer side.an typical architecture in Japan. And have a card swap lock on the door.
Ed and other come out of the car.
Tunki go toward the trunk to get luggage.
"So we are going to stay here? "
Inari while looking at his value most probably the door key " not for too long only one day. We have to leave tomorrow "
He find out the key and open the door door was had a card swap lock.
Inri open the door by swiping the card then Tunki come with the luggage and bag
"who is this person with this much heavy bag! "
"how can you dare to talk like this to them...? "
Inri said while looking at Tunki,with menacing glaze it was like he is going to kill him.
Tunki gently but in screed tone apologizes to them .
Jake smile and said "oh.. Iam not offended "
And he gose in home. And other also follow him and get in.
The house interior was pretty good it has an wooden floor and have a place to remove and store infront of door.
Inrai said " please don't remove shoes straight put them invertly, It just Japanese custom "
They don't question him and do it by respecting Japanese custom.
Inrai bow down to thank them.
Then ed explore the house it was an three storey not two, the roof has room too. There was two bathroom.
Jake loudly said that he going to be take one room for him self senice he doesn't like to share room.
lan take one room to with Jihgen and the whole building has two bedroom, so all room.
" I well sleep on the sofa "
Tunki said
" I well ready to sleep in thrid floor with foothon "
So then ed realized that he going to share room with the Inrai. He wanted to refuse but he didn't tell since there was no other option. He do one thing "tch"
It how he reacts.
Jake come out with wearing new clothes all through they are nothing but the shade of red which he normally wear.
Ed ask him " why did you change the clothings? "
But Jake just look at him like he forgot something.
Inrai said " I think it's because we are here for one day so that why ."
Jake smile and said " you are right! "
lan " so in other words you want to explore Japan "
Jake noded but Inrai said " but there is not that much to see in shingawa but there is some shrine. But it not specal they are pretty normal. "
" but I don't care "
Inari face was clearly saying that he doesn't want to but he didn't refuse since Jake was stareing him.
" okay we can go but we can only vist two Place Since we don't have time. "
Then they leave the house and take car Inrai drive the car since he has licence, Jake also eligible to driver but he didn't have a international driving licence.
So after half hour they reach to there first destination.
And the distances was Tokyo metropolis teien museum.
Ed and other enter in the building.
The building was white from the outside and they enter in the building, there was an reception table and on reception table the map where lay down. The building was three storey. By exploring the building ed notice that building was not that special, it was all about architectural art. It was not the type of art itself. So was not like ed type. There was lot of big empty hallway, the column was made out of wood. And there was dim pleasing light and window has white curtain. So overall building was beautiful but empty. It was really weird.
And ed was really bored and Jake was seeing it in curiousity and lan was really looking all the details like a art lover Tunki was thinking about food.
But Jihgen was doing nothing ed notice it. But he don't react to it.
Then they explore building for a while and leave.
"it was really boring " ed was disappointed.
" you just don't have knowledge of art "
lan replied to him. Ed doesn't understand him. And ignore.
Inari say in medial " we are going to senkagu hi it is an historical places "
And they all get in the car and leave to the senkagu ji.
the senkagu ji is not really in the shingawa but in minato but still it is not far from the shingawa. To be precise it on the border of both city.
There was an shrine near by the senkagu ji so Ed and other go and pay there respect the shrine was quite and pleaseing.
After the visit to shrine they go to the senkagu ji.
In first place there was nothing to see. Ed only see the grave and on the grave there was something written on them.
He was quiet confuse he see that there was an tablet there. It was to explain the history of the senkagu ji.
It was summary of what happened.
The sengku ji was founded in 1612, during edo period .
The temple was just a zen temple. But it becomes immortal because of one incident . Also known as "The 47 ronin "(ako incident)
A sumari lord named as Asano Naganori was humiliated in the court in front of other sumria and lord by a official Kira yoshinaka.
He was deeply humiliated he decided to take avenge about the incident. He attacked on the Kira yoshinaka. In the edo castal. But the fortune was not on his side.
He was caught and punished to perform senppku. Because he committed the crime by bringing the weapon in edo castal.
At edo period law was in top nothing else above it. law in shougenate law was cold and most importantly not inconstant.
The domain of asano was dismissed.
His samurai become masterless and declared as ronin.
The students of was expected to be disappeared. But they never disappeared.
They don't rebled against shougen. They lay low quite for two years. They patiently waiting for right time to show up.
Until two years they acted as they were dissbaande and not together.
But the time comes they successfully killed Kira yoshinaka. It was precise no one other than Kira yoshinaka died. Instead of running away the ronin go to the asano family temple.
Sengku ji.they putted the head of Kira yoshinaka on the grave of asano.
Symbolizing that they have taken the revange.
After the incident They didn't run away they waited there. Paying respect to the law.
They were taken in custody. Shougen debated how shall he give punishment.
He was trapped. But make them to perform senppku .
In that way he give them justice by not offending public and giving them a honorable death.
The students was divided in group and shougen assigned them to the residence of four daimyo (fudel lord) in edo each group performed the senppku under those daimyo eastate.
And they were buried in senkagu ji. Beside there master, with honour and respect.
- tablet end -
Ed was emotionally overflowing by the story and he allways like history so it was really valuable thing.
He go toward the Inrai and ask.
" so why do you like this place? "
Because he was quite curious about it. But also he was overwhelming by his emotion by reading the story of 47 ronin.
Inrai calmly and quietly answer
" because it shows how a person can be loyal, they take the revenge but not for them for there master. They were true Samurai. There loyalty allways stund me. That why I want to be them lawful and loyal. That the reason always come here to pay respect to those great soul whenever I came to Tokyo. "
Then ed look at lan who was standing there with silence same goes for other too .
But Jihgen was constantly looking at grave with eye of affection. Like he knows them.
But Ed ignore it and pay respect.
After paying respect they started to leave but ed notice that Someone is seeing him .
He look back at grave yard but there was no one.
" what happened? " Inari asked to. Ed.
"there was something -"
But he stopped and ignore what happened and go.
Inari thought
" did he see a spirt"
He look at grave for while and leave.
After they leave we an blue figure with a smile standing on grve.
And after some time the figure got disappear like a air wind.
