Chapter 100: A Visit to Osaka Castle
The competition was over, and in the end, Kankata High School won 3:1 in the third and fourth place tournament and won the third place in the Regional Kendo Tournament.
And Quanxin High School defeated the opponent 3:0 in the finals and won the championship.
It can be seen that in the region, there is no high school other than Izumi High School that can pose a threat to Gaikata High School, and Heiji also appeared once in the semi-finals, but unfortunately lost to Okita Soji.
At this time, it was more than three o'clock in the afternoon, and Zero and Xiaolan and the others went back to Hattori's house first, and Heiji had to follow the team to go to school, after all, they lost against Quanxin High School, and according to the convention, there was always a wave of introspection after defeat.
Before going back to Hattori's house, Kazuha specially thanked Zero. In her opinion, if Zero hadn't solved the case quickly, Pingji's reasoning stupid would definitely be bent on the case, and maybe the game would have been delayed. Of course, Heiji eventually lost to Soji Okita, which may be the same in terms of the result, but that doesn't stop Kazuha from expressing his gratitude to Zero.
Zero Zi also expressed politeness, and by the way, he checked the intimacy with Ye and found that he had been promoted from D- to D+.
This is good news, and it is only one step away from the C- required by the mission. But Zero will not let up because of this, after all, going from D+ to C- is also a hurdle, and his own task time is not sufficient, and the difficulty of the task at this time is still not much reduced.
Conan was slightly depressed, he stayed in the audience with Xiaolan, even during the lunch break, until he learned that there had been a murder in the gymnasium. Although the murder case has been solved, as a detective, he does not know that there is a case during the whole process, which makes him feel excluded.
Back at Hattori's house, Hattori Heizou hadn't gotten off work yet, and Mori Kogoro didn't know where to fool around, so Hattori Shizuka took out some snacks to entertain Xiaolan and Zero, and he went to prepare the materials for dinner.
After that, Kogoro, Heiji and Pingzou returned one after another, and when Heizou returned home, the first thing he said asked Heiji: "There was a murder case at Naniwa Gymnasium today?" β
It should have been reported to him by the Otaki Police Department.
"Well, there was a homicide." Heiji said with a slight meaning, "But with my help, the case was easily solved." β
"Really?" Heizou's Mimi eyes opened a small slit slightly, and said to Heiji, "But how can I hear Otaki say that the main credit for being able to solve the case is Miss Kanedaichi?" β
"This, this...... Kanedaichi was only a little bit earlier than me to figure out the crux of the problem, but even without her, I could easily solve this case. β
Heizou glanced at his son and didn't continue on the topic.
Zero took the opportunity to communicate with Akuya, checked the task panel, and saw that the task of "convincing Hattori Heizou that the host is better than Hattori Heiji" was still unfinished.
Sure enough, even if parents say that other people's children are better, it is still not easy to make other people's children surpass their own children's evaluations in their minds.
When it was approaching dusk, Ginshiro Toyama, his father of Ye, was also invited by Heizou to come to dinner together, and Kogoro and others also greeted him one after another.
While greeting Zero, he also checked Ginshiro's attributes.
Ginjiro Toyama β Force: B-, Intelligence B+, Intimacy: E+.
As Hattori Heizou's deputy, Ginjiro Toyama's ability is naturally not weak.
Dinner was hot pot, everyone chatted while eating, Maori Kogoro also heard about the case in the gymnasium at this time, so he praised Zero and Heiji: "It's worthy of being the granddaughter of a detective and the son of the head of the Osaka Police Office, it is said that the case was solved in three or two clicks, right, maybe you can barely compare with me, hahahaββ! β
Although he had already complained in his heart, Zero still said modestly on the surface: "Uncle Maori, you have won the prize." β
Heizou said, "Miss Kanedaichi is naturally extremely good, but Heiji likes to reason intuitively a lot of the time, as if he is playing at home, and he is far from being a Maori detective." β
When Pingci heard this, he was very angry, but he didn't dare to refute his father, so he could only eat with his head in his mouth.
At this time, Toyama Ginjiro spoke: "Heizou, you are too strict with your son, this kid's style is exactly the same as when you were young, it can be said that the future is immeasurable." β
"Don't speak for him, this kid, if you say a good word or two to him, his tail will reach the sky."
After dinner, Heizou drove Ginzhiro and Kazuha home, and unlike guests from Tokyo, Kazuha was not like Zero, her own home was in Osaka, so naturally she couldn't stay at Hattori's house every day.
After dinner, everyone played cards or watched TV, and after ten o'clock, they went to take a shower and go to bed.
ββββββββ plot dividing lineββββββββ
Early the next morning,And Ye came to Hattori's house again.,Yesterday Xiaolan and Zero they accompanied themselves to watch the flat game.,Today it's time to lead them to play Osaka.γ
The first place Kazuha chose to visit was the Osaka Castle Tower.
Osaka Castle is an ancient Japanese-style castle built by Toyotomi Hideyoshi of Taiko, and is about 55 meters high. Osaka Castle was rebuilt in 1931 and has eight floors, the eighth of which is an observation deck.
At this time, Zero and his party were in the observation deck.
Through the large glass window, He Ye Zheng pointed to the buildings in the distance, and introduced to Zero and the others: "The building with a round roof is the Osaka Castle Kaikan, and the area with high-rise buildings is the business park of Osaka, and the place we are in is Osaka's representative building, Osaka Castle!" Isn't Osaka a great place? β
After Kazuye introduced the surrounding environment, Zero, Ersan and Xiaolan all looked at the distant scenery through the binoculars, Kogoro was not interested in the view, and when he saw a lonely young lady on the side, he stepped forward to talk.
Maya and Akua are also looking down with binoculars, but they don't see much of the scenery.
"Now, Akuya, have you seen it, there's a shop over there that sells takoyaki!"
"Maya, if you look in that direction, there's a stall selling cotton candy! I want to eat marshmallows! β
Osaka Castle is Osaka's number one spot, and there are many food shops and stalls nearby, and the two girls are constantly using binoculars to find "food spots" on the ground.
The sound of the conversation between the two was very loud, so that some tourists around them turned their eyes to them one after another. It's common to see the scenery with binoculars, and it's rare to use binoculars to find food stalls or shops like theirs.
Zero felt a little embarrassed for the two of them, so he could only walk a little farther away, pretending not to know them.
While Zero was moving, Akua suddenly shouted at her, "Zero, will you sell marshmallows to me and Conan later!" β
Zero has a black line, who are you, come to set it, I don't know you, I don't know you......
Conan was also embarrassed, why did he lie down and get shot......
Seeing that Zero didn't care about herself, Akuya walked straight to Zero, grabbed Zero's arm and shook it: "Now, Zero, can you buy me a marshmallow?" β
And Maya also walked up to Zero, grabbed Zero's other arm and shook it: "Zero, I want to eat takoyaki." β
Enough of you two, and so many people watching, you're not afraid of losing face, but I'm afraid......
"Okay, I'll buy it for you later, let me go now, okay......"
It's still my sister's two or three, well-behaved and cute, no trouble, and worry-free.
Just as Zero was sighing like this, Er San walked quickly to Zero, stretched out two fingers to pinch the corner of Zero's clothes, and said, "Sister, I accidentally saw a stall of grilled squid just now......"
Zero: "............"
On the other side, Xiaolan said to Kazuha: "Compared to the Osaka Castle I saw in photos or on TV, it is really more beautiful than what I saw with my own eyes." β
"Yes, and Osaka Castle was renovated more than 70 years ago, so it doesn't look very old......
While she was talking to Ye, an old voice suddenly interrupted her: "To be precise, the renovation time was seventy-six years ago. β
He Ye said "huh", turned his head, and saw an old man in his sixties standing behind him, obviously he was the one who spoke just now.
The old man continued: "In the 11th year of Tensho, that is, in 1583 AD, Taiko Hideyoshi began to build Osaka Castle, but it was not until more than a year after his death, that is, in 1599 AD, that the entire Osaka Castle was completely completed. Later, Osaka Castle was burned down during the Battle of Osaka Summer, but in 1620, the second shogun, Tokugawa Hidetada, began to rebuild Osaka Castle, and the reconstruction was completed in 1629. At the end of the Edo period, Osaka Castle was destroyed in battle, but in 1928, the mayor of Osaka City proposed to rebuild Osaka Castle again, and construction began in 1930 and was completed the following year. Osaka Castle has survived since its second reconstruction, and it is now the current Osaka Castle. β
Listening to the old man tell the history of Osaka Castle, and Ye, Xiaolan, and Pingji and Conan on the side were a little confused, old man, who are you, suddenly ran over to give people a history lesson.
The old man also seemed to realize that his actions were too abrupt, so he said, "I'm sorry, but I'm a fan of Taiko Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and I like this Osaka Castle very much, so I heard you talking about this castle, so I couldn't help but interject for a while. β
Xiaolan and Heye are both kind girls, and they immediately said that they had nothing to do with it, and Xiaolan also said: "Thank you grandfather for letting us know this knowledge." β
Heiji noticed that the old man was wearing a badge on his chest, took a closer look, and said, "Old man, you said that you are a fan of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, but the pattern on the badge on your chest is the Tokugawa family's family crest, Sanye Aoi......"
"It's because of ......"
Just as the old man was about to explain, suddenly a horse-faced man in his thirties shouted at the old man, "Mr. Ieyasu, what are you doing?" His Highness, he's still waiting. β
The old man looked at each other and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Mitsuhide, I met a few children." β
For the conversation between the two, Xiaolan and others are completely confused, if Ieyasu and Mitsuhide happen to have the same name as a famous person in history, then what does "Your Highness" mean? In this day and age, is there anyone who still calls others "Your Highness"?
Looking at Xiaolan and the others who didn't know why, the old man explained to them.
It turned out that they were all members of the same small tour group. The tour group consisted of five people, four men and one woman, all of whom were lovers of Warring States history, met on the Internet and eventually traveled together. During the tour, all five of them role-play, with the only woman playing Hideyoshi's main room Nene and the other four playing their respective roles depending on the results of the draw. The roles of the four are divided into Oda Nobunaga, Hideyoshi Hashiba, Mitsuhide Akechi, and Tokugawa Ieyasu, and the draw is held once a day, which means that the roles played by all but the woman may change every day during the trip. In addition to Ning Ning, after the role played by others is drawn, they also need to wear a badge printed with the character's family crest on their chests.
Of course, since it's a role-play, it's not as simple as changing your name and wearing a badge. The people who play Ieyasu, Mitsuhide, and Hideyoshi need to serve the people who play Nobunaga, and of course, this kind of service can't go beyond the scope of role-playing games, and it's not okay to take the opportunity to ask too much.
When "Ieyasu" finished explaining to Xiaolan, "Nene Ning" and "Nobunaga" also appeared. "Nene Ning" is a woman in her thirties who wears glasses, and "Nobunaga" is a man in his thirties with an honest face.
I heard Nobunaga say to Ieyasu and Mitsuhide, "So you're here, I've been looking for you for a while." β
Hearing Nobunaga say this, Ieyasu and Mitsuhide both apologized, and then each took out an item from their bags, walked up to Nobunaga and handed it to each other.
"Nobun-sama, this is the oolong tea you wanted."
"Nobu-sama, a postcard of the scenery of Osaka Castle at this time."
It seems that Nobunaga had previously instructed Ieyasu and Mitsuhide to help him bring oolong tea and postcards.
"Thank you so much." Nobunaga said as he bowed slightly to Ieyasu and Mitsuhide.
When Conan saw this scene, he couldn't help but complain in his heart: "How could Nobunaga in history put his posture so low. β
At this time, Ning Ning suddenly asked Mitsuhide and Ieyasu: "By the way, what about Hideyoshi, isn't he with you?" β
Ieyasu shook his head, indicating that he didn't know, and Mitsuhide said, "We were together just now, and suddenly his phone rang, and he left in a hurry. β
Ning Ning asked, "Do you know where he went?" β
"I don't know, but he said when he left that he didn't have to wait for him to have lunch."
While several members of the tour group were talking, Heiji grabbed Kazuha's arm and said, "Okay, don't worry about those weird guys, let's go have lunch too." β
So Xiaolan went to call Kogoro, and Kazuha went to call Zero and the others, and a large number of people went to a nearby restaurant for lunch.
After lunch, Akua pesters Zero to buy marshmallows, and Maya and Two-Three look at her expectantly.
Please, you guys just had lunch...... However, Zero didn't bother to complain, so he said hello to Xiaolan and them, and after making an appointment to gather for a while, he took a few foodies to a nearby stall to continue looking for something to eat.
"Marshmallow~! Candy floss~! Akua shouted cheerfully as she walked down the road.
"If you keep babbling, I won't buy it for you." Looking at the constant stares of passers-by around him, Zero wanted to dig a hole and get into it, so he could only threaten Akuya like this.
Sure enough, listening to Zero's threat, Akuya instantly fell silent and made an expression covering her mouth.
Originally, Maya wanted to learn from Akuya to shout "takoyaki", but just shouted out the word "chapter", and when she heard Zero's words just now, she immediately kept silent.
Looking at the nervous real night, Zero had no choice but to support his forehead, and one or two made himself unable to feel at ease.
Fortunately, Ersan is much more sensible, and although she also wants to buy grilled squid to eat, she will never be as embarrassed as Maya and Akuya.
Actually, Maya wouldn't have been like this, maybe she had been a roommate with Akua for a few days, and maybe she was infected with the stupid virus.
When he came to the marshmallow stall, Zero bought a marshmallow and handed it to Akuya, who was very happy and feasted on it.
Maya took Zero's arm and signaled that it was time for her to buy takoyaki for herself.
And at this time, I could only hear the frightened shouts of passers-by on the side: "Ahhββ!!!hh β
What's going on? Could it be that Akuya's appearance is too terrifying and scares others?
Glancing at Akuya, she saw that her marshmallow had fallen to the ground, her eyes staring straight upward.
Looking up at Akuya's line of sight, she saw a man tumbling on the roof of the Osaka Castle Castle Tower, and then falling straight to the ground from the edge of the roof more than fifty meters high.
"I knew that I shouldn't have agreed to ...... with Conan and Heiji from the beginning," Zero whispered, and immediately ran towards Osaka Castle.
