Chapter 603 - Kabuki Chiga Suzu

"You...... You ......" Kogoro Mori now had only an unhappy expression on his face. "How did you find here?"

"It was the abbot who told us~" Suzuki Sonoko, who was next to Moriran, replied with a smug expression. "He told us everything~"

"Abbot......" Mori Kogoro covered his face. Host this guy ......"

"It's the abbot," said the owner of the strange male voice, a man dressed as a monk. "In that case, let's enjoy it too—as a tea house, the service here is first-class in all aspects!"

At the host's kind invitation, the group sat down one by one, but when Hattori Heiji sat next to the geisha Chiga Suzu, there seemed to be a little episode.

"Huh?" When Hattori Heiji looked at Chiga Suzu, his face was full of surprise - not that dazed look, but the reunion of acquaintances. "Aren't you the ...... from Miyagawa?"

"Yes, my name is Chiga Suzu, thank you for your care at that time~" Chiga Ling nodded with a smile.

Several of the high school students present, as well as Qian Yu and Gray Hara, all showed stunned expressions on their faces, and Mao Lilan looked at Yuan Shan and Ye who had bitten their lower lipes with a somewhat worried look.

"Heiji," after hesitating for a moment, Kazuha spoke. "Do you know her?"

"Huh?" Heiji was stunned for a moment before answering. "Uh-huh, I guess I know each other......"

"Oh......" and Ha's reply was rather quiet.

"That-" At that moment, Mao Lilan suddenly spoke as well—this time the subject of the inquiry was Suzu Chiga. "Your name is Suzu Chiga, right? How old are you this year, are you a local? ”

"Huh?" Chiga Ling blinked, then nodded. "I'm 19 years old and I've been living locally."

"Why are you all talking about this?" Hattori Heiji looked at it a little strangely, I don't know why, after hearing this, he puffed up a little and leaf. "Anyway, uncle, what case are you here for?"

"It's not Genji Hotaru's business?" An obese middle-aged man with glasses who had been sitting next to him said.

"Genji Hotaru?" Hattori's expression immediately became serious. "You're also investigating Genji Hotaru?"

"Then again," at this moment, the female shogun (proprietress in a plain kimono) next to him "I remember that gang was quite interesting?" Everyone seems to have a copy of the Book of Righteousness in their hands, which is quite strange......"

"It's not surprising," said the fat man. "After all, it's the guys who call themselves each other in the name of Yoshitsune and his retainers, and that book is a good book in the first place—I have one in my hand, and I'm sure the owner of the antique bookstore must have more stock than me, right?"

"Ah......h I do have two copies, but to be honest, it's all for stock, and I personally don't like that book very much - I always feel that something is wrong, although the name is "Yijing", but in fact, a lot of space is given to Benkei's deeds...... Maybe it would be better to change the name to "Benkei Ji"? ”

"I think it's actually a good way to write like this, and it actually brings out a lot of the character of the Yijing, doesn't it?" The young man sitting next to the owner of the antique bookstore chimed in. "If you think about it, especially the part of the house there, although Benkei himself is indeed in a hurry, but after all, he is a retainer, and in order to protect the lord, no matter how much he trespasses, he is forced to do so - but Yoshitsune doesn't care about these things at all, but still trusts Benkei as before, isn't this a highlight of Yoshitsune's character?"

"Atta?" Gray Yuan raised his eyebrows and looked at Qianyu.

"Well, I don't know much about this one......" Qian Yu shook her head a little embarrassed. I don't pay much attention to this history. ”

"That," Sonoko Suzuki asked the same question at this point. "Excuse me, what is an atta? Did Yoshitsune and Benkei happen there? ”

"It's a Noh play," the young man replied. "You should know that Yoshitsune's brother Minamoto Yoritomo doesn't trust Yoshitsune, and even sent out a pursuit in the end, right? In the process of fleeing, Yoshitsune and his generals disguised themselves as practicing monks to evade Minamoto Yoritomo's pursuit. Just as they were about to pass through the pass of the house, the guards there became suspicious of Gen Yoshitsune's identity. Just as the disguise of Yoshitsune was about to be exposed, Benkei hit Yoshitsune fiercely with the vajra rod in his hand and rebuked him, "If you weren't suspected of being Gen Yoshitsune, we would have passed here a long time ago, how could you waste time here." ’”

"Huh?" The garden was stunned. "Isn't Yoshitsune the lord of Benkei? What is he doing here? ”

"To fool the guards of the house," the fat man replied. "After all, just like you, the guards of the house never imagined that the retainers would have the courage to beat their own lord with such great strength, so they completely gave up their doubts about the identity of Yoshitsune, and finally let them go."

"What is it that Yoshitsune continues to trust Benkei?" The garden asked again.

"After passing through the Ataku Pass, Benkei wept and apologized to Yoshitsune - for whatever reason, he had attacked his lord after all." The young man said. However, Yoshitsune did not blame him, but praised his wit, because if it weren't for his wit, everyone would be finished, and the deep relationship between the two of them has been widely spread since then, and it has become a good story.

"yes, after all—" The fat man yawned suddenly.

"By the way, I've been a little insomnia lately," the fat man smiled wryly at the boss's wife. "Is there a place where you can take a break? I think...... Well, it's eight and fifteen, so it should be about the same as sleeping until nine, right? Can you take me somewhere I can take a break? ”

"There are no guests today, so how about you sleep next door?"

"No," the fat man shook his head. "The room below is fine."

……

After the proprietress left with the fat man, the atmosphere suddenly became a little dull - Mori Kogoro seemed to have been planning to talk to Chiga Suzu, but since Mori had been kicking Mori Kogoro with an unkind face, he never had a chance.

"It's Kamogawa out there, right?" At this moment, Fujiwara said. "I guess there's a space outside where we can take a view, right?"
