Chapter 901 Conan’s Peach Blossom

"Eh? Where's dad?"

When everyone was planning to continue climbing to the top of the mountain, Xiaolan found that her father had disappeared.

"It's over there." Conan on the side pointed to the izakaya with the sign "Kino Kuniya" hanging behind him, with a speechless look on his face.

When Xiaolan and others entered the izakaya, they found that Kogoro Mori had a row of appetizers in front of him, and he had already started drinking.

"Ha, sure enough local wine is different!"

Mouri Kogoro, who was immersed in alcohol, didn't even notice Xiaolan who was full of "murderous intent" outside the door. He took a sip of wine and a sip of side dishes, with a look of satisfaction on his face.

"dad.!"

Xiaolan looked at her father and couldn't help but gnashed her teeth, "If you drink like this now, don't you plan to go to the shrine on the top of the mountain to pay homage!"

"Sorry! Please help me take care of it!"

Mouri Kogoro, who was already drunk, held up his cup and refused to go up the mountain. "And you see, the "Kanamaru Seat" is right there, isn't it? I'll just wait for you here."

As he spoke, Mouri Kogoro poured the last bit of the shochu pot into the cup, and then said enthusiastically: "Mother-in-law! Another pot!"

Drinking makes people bold, and Mouri Kogoro has completely "broken the pot" after drinking. He has long since turned a blind eye to the oppression of his daughter.

However, the previous ambition to eat all kinds of udon noodles was thrown away by the other party at this moment. It can be seen that this wine is the true love for Mouri Kogoro.

Seeing that her father was "a dead pig not afraid of boiling water", Xiaolan couldn't do anything to her father. She had no choice but to tell him not to wander around and wait here for them to go down the mountain.

Kampila is a patron saint of the sea and the target of their visit this time.

Of course, Tangze's attitude towards these ghosts and gods is basically the common attitude of "flower growers" - if you want something good, just believe it, if not, just play with it.

And there is a high probability that it will be useless. After all, people who go to sea generally trust him, so Tang Ze and others will basically have no use.

And even if it is useful, to be honest, those "disasters" at sea will still come. After all, as long as this "Death pupil" is around, no matter it is in the sky or in the sea, there is no way to stop the "Death" from coming to collect people.

Of course, being dishonest doesn't mean you won't be able to worship.

However, Karasawa was quite interested in the mythology and history of Kinpira, so he looked at some myths and legends along the way.

"Haha. I was careless. I didn't expect it to be only halfway up the mountain."

When the Kudo couple and Karasawa couple had finished visiting the shrine, Sonoko on the side boarded the shrine panting and leaning on crutches.

"Your physical strength is too bad. If I had known, I would have asked you to wait below with Mr. Mori."

Ayako looked at her panting sister and quickly took out a bottle of water: "Drink some water quickly."

After receiving the water, Yuanzi took a big gulp, and then gasped: "Don't confuse me with that kind of uncle!!"

After visiting the shrine, Xiaolan looked at the time and said with a smile: "It's almost time, let's go to "Imamaruza"~"

"I can finally go, I've been waiting for a long time!" After hearing Xiaolan's words, Sonoko said excitedly: "I wonder if Mr. Tamanosuke is doing well."

"There is also Miss Lianhua." Xiaolan said happily.

"Yes, that's the point." But not always happy with Xiaolan, after hearing Lianhua's name, Yuanzi's face turned solemn, making everyone present look confused.

I saw Yuanzi touching her chin and thinking with a conjecture on her face: "I wonder if the relationship between the two of them is still that good?
  You know Mr. Tamanosuke, but where is my long-decided goal? "

"Yuanzi, you!" Xiaolan said angrily.

"Ah Zhen, that kid will cry!"

Tang Ze activated the backstab in a faint tone, causing the somewhat complacent Sonoko to look blank: "I'll just tell you. I'll just tell you."

"Haha. You're just as good as the uncle." Conan on the side looked at Yuanzi's appearance and couldn't help but cursed.

While looking for someone, he went down the mountain and soon found Mouri Kogoro in the tavern.

Fortunately, Mouri Kogoro knew that there was still something to do later, so after drinking the second bottle, he stopped drinking.

After the group gathered together, they were handed the "Golden Maru Seat" and met their long-awaited friends.

"Welcome." Tamanosuke Ito greeted everyone immediately after seeing them at the port.

"Thank you so much for coming all the way." Lotus on the side welcomed with a smile: "The same goes for Mr. Tangze, thank you for your help before.

Whether it's rescuing me from a prisoner or helping to convince my father, I have to formally express my gratitude to you. "

"You're welcome. When it comes to persuading your father, I'm just rational and emotional. Your father loves Miss Lianhua enough to support your choice."

Karasawa smiled and said: "In the final analysis, Mr. Kataoka is still a father, and it is appropriate for him to make such a choice."

Looking at the two people chatting happily with Karasawa, Sonoko held her forehead in disappointment: "It seems there is no hope. Those two people are really worthy of the seat leader and his woman."

Hearing Yuanzi's words, Xiaolan and Conan on the side could only smile silently and bitterly, and they didn't know what expressions they should use to face this carefree guy again.

And just when Conan was making fun of each other, suddenly a young girl's excited shout came from the distance, "Conan-kun~~"

Conan turned around and saw a little girl with long hair in a pink dress running towards him happily.

"Emi-chan, hello!"

The girl who came was Ito Tamanosuke's younger sister, Ito Emi, whom she met last time when she went to see the troupe perform.

It's just that when Emi Ito ran up to Conan, she didn't say hello to Conan first. Instead, she looked around, and Conan looked confused: "What's wrong?"

"Those little ones didn't come today." Ito Emi said with uncontrollable happiness in her tone.

"Ah, you're talking about the three of them." Conan suddenly said: "They all have things to do, so they can't come."

"That's great!" A bright smile appeared on Emi Ito's face, "Emi is happy!"

While saying this, Ito Emi came to Conan and put her hands on Conan's right arm.

"Wait. Wait, don't do this, Emi." Conan said a little awkwardly when he saw the other party's enthusiastic look.

"What are you doing! What are you doing!" Sonoko nodded her little head in a teasing tone: "You are quite popular as a little four-eyed frog!"

That's not true. Conan's charm is as good as ever, and he can still attract a group of lolita even when he is smaller. “How about I take a photo with you?”

Although he knew that this "peach blossom" was not what Conan wanted, Karasawa still took out his camera with a smile, fearing that the world would not be in chaos, he smiled at the bright-eyed Ito Emi and said, "I will give you the developed photos when I get back." Send a postcard."

"Really, that's great!"

Ito Emi's eyes lit up and she immediately looked around: "I want to see where it's better to take a photo!"

"Karasawa Criminal."

Conan on the side gritted his teeth after hearing the backstab from Tangze, but he didn't dare to say anything because Xiaolan was by his side. He could only look at the other party and reveal a playful smile on his face.

"Now that I've come here and met my good friends, how can I not leave a souvenir?"
  As if Tang Ze didn't hear his displeasure, he replied with a smile: "Don't worry, I will lend you a copy when the time comes. This is a good commemoration~"

‘That’s the handle, bastard! ! ’ Conan was so amused that he had already seen through what Tangze was planning.

The more "black history" he accumulates now, the worse he will be if he regains his identity as Kudo Shinichi later.

It would be fine if he could hide it from Xiaolan, but it would be Conan's problem if he couldn't hide it from himself.
  He could already imagine his miserable end.

The more dark history Tangze has in his hands, the more times he will have to face a jealous Xiaolan.

Although I definitely won’t do anything to myself, I’m sure I can survive it.

Conan couldn't help but shudder when he thought about the miserable life without family status in the future.

But what could he do? He had to lower his head under the eaves. He could only look at Karasawa full of resentment, and then he was pulled by Emi like a marionette to the gate of "Kanamaruza".

Then, I took a photo with Emi in front of this very memorable theater.

It’s just that the eyes in the smiling face in the photo are
  It seems a bit hard to describe.

Of course, Emi couldn't see the look in Conan's eyes, but she was even happier looking at the photo of the two of them in the camera.

After everyone exchanged greetings, Tamanosuke led everyone to a small door and opened it. Then he looked at everyone and said, "Come on, please come in, but because this is the entrance to the teahouse, you must be careful!"

Well, in Neon, the door specifications of tea rooms are all the same.

You have to lower your head to enter the teahouse, which means that everyone is equal in the teahouse regardless of their status.

Of course, there is also a theory that in the past, when people of high status (samurai, etc.) entered the teahouse, it was difficult to enter the teahouse with a sword that represented their status.

Of course, the historical reasons are not something we think about now, but they are just passed down as traditions.

As for this form of entrance, it was invented by the famous tea master Sen no Rikyu. It is said that he was inspired by seeing the hatch of a river boat in northern Osaka, because in his opinion, the boat is an independent world like the tea room.

However, the entrance to the famous "Kanamaruza" theater in Shikoku is actually in the style of a teahouse, which is unexpected.

"What's going on at the entrance to the tea room!"

Somehow, this made Mouri Kogoro laugh. The slightly tipsy Moori Kogoro smiled and walked forward, planning to enter it.

But although he lowered his head, he didn't notice that the height was lower than expected, and he hit the threshold with his head. Tears of pain came out: "It hurts!"

"dad?"

"It doesn't matter, right?" Lianhua asked worriedly.

Conan on the side showed an expression of "I knew it would be like this".

And this moment also woke up Mouri Kogoro from being slightly tipsy. He finally didn't make any more trouble, and the group entered the theater smoothly.

"It's a bit chaotic because we are still preparing for the performance." Tamanosuke Ito led everyone into the theater.

"Just in time, the stage is now confirming the time point for the lift to go up and down." Tamanosuke Ito pointed to the stage, where a man holding a samurai sword was slowly rising to the stage.

"Lifting platform?" Yuanzi asked curiously: "It lifts automatically. Do you need to confirm the time?"

"No, everything here is artificial. Several people pushed the stage up from below." Kataoka Renka explained with a smile: "After all, everything here is very old."

"At that time, actors will appear from there to create the climax of the comedy."

As Tamanosuke Ito finished speaking, everyone saw the stage suddenly rotate beneath the samurai standing on the stage.

"That is a revolving stage, and it is also rotated by talented people." Kataoka Renka continued to explain to everyone.

“And these are all run in a traditional way.”

Tamanosuke Ito said as he led everyone to the underground entrance of the stage: "The mechanisms we just saw are all operated by people down here.

As for the part under the stage, because the drainage and ventilation underneath were not very good in the past, and the backstage staff were very hard-working, it even meant hell, so it was called "Naraku". "

"That passage over there is called Hanamichi!"

Emi happily hugged Conan's arm and introduced him to a room blocked by a curtain on the opposite side of the stage: "The actors all pass through the auditorium from that small room and go to the stage to prepare for the performance!"

In other words, the stage in the entire room is in a "T" shape, and the auditorium is divided into two by the "flower arrangement", but at the same time, it also gives the audience a moment of close contact with the actors.

Afterwards, Tamanosuke also introduced various mechanisms of the stage, such as the crane-like device directly above the "flower arrangement".

It was a machine used by actors to perform in mid-air.

Even the ceiling is programmed with bamboo grids, so that it can produce effects such as falling snowflakes or scattered cherry blossoms.

"It's really amazing, it feels like I've gone back a hundred years!" Sonoko sighed while listening to Ito Tamanosuke's introduction.

"It's not just a hundred years." Ito Tamanosuke said with a smile: "Speaking of which, this "Kanamaruza" was built with the approval of the shogunate during the tacit understanding of the Tenpo era.

It is also the oldest stage theater in existence in Neon today! "

The two of them, Ito Tamanosuke, will perform on this stage with a history of hundreds of years.

"When I think about being able to perform here as an actor, it feels like a supreme honor."

Renka Kataoka's eyes were full of longing and expectation. It was obviously a great honor for them to be able to perform here.
