Conan: The Mechanic

Pontocho, located between Kamogawa and Kiyamachi-dori in Nakagyo District, Kyoto City, is a small alley of several hundred meters long with legal geisha industry as its selling point. It is worth mentioning that this place is said to be the tradition of Kabuki industry. The birthplace, so there is even a geisha statue on the other side of the river next to Pontocho.

"Is this a brothel district?" Ai Haibara suddenly looked at a small shop on the side of the road. "Look there—"

Following the direction Haibara Ai pointed, Chiba and the others saw a place that looked a bit like a brothel.

"Don't worry," Fujiwara said lightly. "Having a brothel here doesn't mean we're going to a brothel -- we're going to a teahouse." (The composition of Pontocho is very complicated, geisha houses, brothels, teahouses, bars, restaurants, etc.)

"Then where are we going today?" Yuma was obviously still a little worried because of Ai Haibara's reminder.

"It should be right in front—" Just as Fujiwara said this, the surrounding environment suddenly fell into a small silent window for some unknown reason, and a musical instrument sound suddenly came to mind somewhere in front of him, and it became silent for a while. quite obvious in the time window.

"Tsukiwaoboroni Higashiyama—"

"Moon は お ぼ ろ に Higashiyama (Hazy Moonlight Higashiyama Hotaru, who was holding Fujiwara's arm, responded quickly, and immediately began to hum along in a low voice.

"Do you still dance?" Fujiwara looked at Hotaru with a slightly surprised look.

"I have practiced some relatively simple Kabuki dance dance," Hotaru nodded. "If you want to watch Fujiwara, I can show you something simpler in the future!"

"Are we going to see Kabuki?" Takeda also asked nervously at this time - after all, he was not as experienced as Fujiwara, and he was a little bit resistant to places like Kabuki.

"Did you demonize Kabuki?" Fujiwara glanced at him. "Although kabuki is often made of fancy girls, I think the correct way to appreciate it is to focus on the art of their performance rather than their skin."

"Ah, that's right..." Takeda said embarrassingly.

At this moment, a voice that surprised all of them came from behind them.

"Qianyu? Xiao Ai?"

"Huh?" Qian Yu's face immediately took on a look of astonishment, and then she turned to the back of the voice. "Little...Sister Xiaolan? And everyone?"

Behind them, there is a super-luxurious lineup that everyone in the room knows - Conan, Maurilan; Hattori Heiji, Toyama Kazuha; Suzuki Sonoko (I admit that my punctuation marks are messing with things)

"Huh?" Fujiwara raised his eyebrows and stared at Hattori Heiji's face with a suspicious look-although there are many other shops here, the most famous one must be the Kabuki industry... Girls probably won't choose They came here to play, which means that it was probably Hattori Heiji who brought them here?

"Why are you here?" Maurilan asked in surprise.

"Uh..." Chiyu glanced at Fujiwara, then shook her head and said she didn't know. "I don't know yet... Wait a minute, what about you, Sister Xiaolan?"

"Did the famous Kansai detective bring you here?" Haibara raised her eyebrows and looked at Hattori Heiji who was out of condition - but then she found that Hattori Heiji's face was a little... wronged of resentment.

It seems that this guy really didn't bring them here this time, and Edogawa probably wasn't the type who would bring them to this kind of place. Could it be that one of the three girls led the team?

"Hmm—" A strange and subtle look appeared on Maorilan's face. "Then how about we... go together? Not far, just ahead."

"Ah—" An interesting look appeared on Yingying's face—an expression she was familiar with, the kind of expression of a predator who is staring at him.

Who is this lady trying to capture? Could it be that it is rumored that he has always had a very good relationship with him, the famous Kanto high school detective Kudo Shinichi?

……

Not far away, the tea house [Sakuraya]

"Yukiwashitoshitomarumadoni" When the group came downstairs to this tea house under the leadership of Maurilan, several people who came with Maurilan, as well as Fujiwara, Hotaru and Haibara Ai all showed a subtle look - although they are not interested in Maori The judgments of the people Lan came to look for were different, but it was one thing that did not differ.

The people here are in big trouble, and it can even be said that they are doomed.

However, they were not obliged to observe a moment of silence for that person, and Yingying even hummed this tune with great interest. "Snow はしとしとまる誓に (round window even if the snow is flying

"So, you guys are here to visit Kyoto, so you brought Sister Heye over by the way after you came to Kyoto with Uncle Mouri?" Qianyu asked Molilan. "Then why is Brother Heiji there?"

"I came because of the case," Hattori Heiji glanced at Chiba. "A case of Genji Hotaru, that's why I came to Kyoto to investigate clues."

"It's almost like this," Mao Lilan looked at the room where the tune came from above, then opened the main door of the tea house and walked in with everyone. "Then next, let's find the great detective we are probably thinking about!"

When they came upstairs, the song seemed to be about to end, so Mao Lilan didn't take everyone in for the first time, but just listened silently outside.

“Gi—onKoishi—yada—ra—ri—obi—o—” accompanied by the accompaniment of shamisen, the melodious and beautiful singing voice is presenting the final fragment of the track to the guests in the room. Of course, this is the final clip, which is what Hotaru, who is always singing along, told them.

"Gion Love しやだらりの帯よ (Gion Love is like a long belt hanging down)——" After humming, Hotaru nodded to Maurilan. "Okay, the whole song is over here~www.readwn.com~ At this time, there was a warm applause from the room.

"That's great!" A shy voice belonging to Kogoro Mouri came out. "Ms. Chiga Suzu is really the number one in Japan!"

"I'm really honored that you can like it~" A female voice similar to the vocal pattern of the previous song sounded - it seems that this should be the lead Kabuki.

Outside the house, Mao Lilan's fist was already clenched, and the corner of Conan's mouth twitched when he caught this action.

"Come on, pour a bar for Mr. Maori!" A strange male voice sounded in the room.

"Okay~" Qian Heling replied, and after a while of footsteps, her voice rang again. "Please use~"

"Ah, ah, alright!" Kogoro Mori sounded a voice that was half flustered and half excited. "I, Kogoro Mori, seem to be in heaven now!"

Without warning, Maurilan, who was standing outside the house, burst out like this, questioning as he opened the door.

"Okay!" Looking at Kogoro Mouri, who was so frightened by her shout that he spit out half of the sake he drank, Maurilan's face was full of questioning look. "You should try to climb up for me!"

"Hmm~" Looking at the aggressive Mao Lilan, Haibara Ai seemed to have discovered some kind of new continent, and made a voice that represented what she found interesting.

……

The song Chiga Rin sang was "Gion Xiaochan" in 1930. It is a classic piece in the performance of geisha dance performances in the Kyoto area, and the last two sentences of the last paragraph appear in the original work. (You can probably understand it by going to Chaya translation by yourself... Conan's official translation is really so white that it explodes, directly destroying the elegance of this song, and it also caused me to almost fail to find this song... )
