Osaka's summer is scorching hot, but it also offers unique scenery that can only be experienced in this season.
For example, going to the aquarium to escape the heat during the hot day, looking at the colorful fish swimming in the blue water, the restlessness brought by the summer will quietly disappear.
Osaka Tenmangu Shrine also hosts the large-scale summer festival "Tenjin Festival", which is also one of the three major festivals in Japan.
The Tenjin Festival begins in late June and lasts for a month. Near the end of the festival, there is the Funadogo Festival, where one hundred boats parade on the river, and the summer's most essential fireworks display.
If you want to visit Osaka but find the summer weather too hot, you can also take a small boat tour.
In ancient times, Osaka developed by relying on the water and was even known as the "Water City", and many attractions can be reached by boat.
Karasawa and Ayako, who arrived early, experienced the feeling of touring Osaka by water. They chartered a boat and grilled BBQ on it while enjoying the scenery on both sides.
In addition to these, Karasawa also accompanied Ayako to watch a performance at a comedy theater in Osaka.
This is somewhat similar to the feeling Tang Ze had when he went to listen to crosstalk in his previous life. The theater is full of Japanese "comedians" performing, and there are many genres, both modern and traditional, for you to choose from.
Because Tang Ze traveled through time, he gradually understood some of the funny points, but his sense of humor was still very high. Ayako, on the other hand, sometimes laughed so hard that tears came out, which seemed to be quite lethal.
As they played day after day, the ultimate goal of Tang Ze and his group's visit finally began, adding more enthusiasm and passion to this summer.
Koshien, for Japanese people, this is another label of summer.
Every year's Koshien competition is always packed, and many more people who can't get tickets watch this grand event in front of their TVs.
Some people may wonder why a high school competition attracts so many people's attention, when there are obviously more professional and exciting competitions above it.
But it is this naiveté that is most touching to the audience.
Senior year of high school may be the most special year. Everyone’s youth and innocence seem to have stayed in that year, and everyone’s transformation seems to have started from that moment.
This is even more true for the contestants. Some of them may have worked hard for many years and never set foot on this field, while for others this may be the only competition in their life.
Their dedication and hard work have become valuable at this moment. Their all-out efforts have long covered up their immature flaws, and their desperate struggle is the most eye-catching highlight.
For the champion, this place is a holy place where the goddess smiles, but it is also a ruthless arena of victory and defeat.
And today is the decisive battle!
"Bottom of the second inning, Gangnan High School's attack... fourth batter, third baseman..."
As the commentator spoke, countless people in Koshien began to cheer wildly and cheer for their favorite players.
“What a beautiful view! Beautiful view~ Beautiful view~~”
In the audience seats of the stadium, Kogoro Mouri, like other spectators, was watching the stadium through a telescope, but the direction he was looking in was slightly different from that of others.
Others are watching the ball on the field, while LSP Kogoro Mouri is watching the "ball" on the edge of the field.
"Uncle, what are you looking at?"
Kazuha, who was standing by, noticed Maori Kogoro's movements and asked, "The competition is over there."
"It's probably the gorgeous scenery of the cheerleaders in the stands." Hattori Heiji supported his chin and looked at Kogoro Mouri unhappily and complained.
"How low-class!" Xiaolan said speechlessly: "Since everyone is here, let's watch the game!"
"That's what they said, but we're sitting so far away in the right field stands that we can't even see the game..." Maori Kogoro said speechlessly, "Since they specifically called us over, they should at least give us a better seat..."
"I'm so sorry..." At this moment, Officer Otaki came over, scratched his head and smiled apologetically: "Actually, I originally asked a friend nearby to help me queue up, but he accidentally overslept..."
"Officer Otaki, long time no see." Tang Ze greeted him with a smile.
"Detective Karasawa is here too. I'm so sorry. I'll definitely get you good seats next time." Otaki apologized while distributing a bag of iced drinks to everyone.
"It's okay. Today is the match between Dajin and Gangnan. It's a top match between two dominant schools. Even if you come here early in the morning to queue up, you may not be able to buy tickets." Tang Ze thanked him and took the drink from the other party with a smile.
"Detective Karasawa, you seem to know a lot about this. Are you also a baseball fan?" Otaki asked as he sat next to Hattori Heiji.
"I just heard Conan say that." Tang Ze smiled and rubbed the dog's head: "This kid is always very proficient in certain aspects."
"So that's how it is." Otaki smiled suddenly, "I didn't realize you're such a dedicated football fan."
"Haha..." Conan just smiled and didn't say anything.
"By the way, Detective Otaki, don't you have to go to work today?" Kogoro Mouri asked in surprise after taking the drink.
"It's okay. Detective Otaki must have taken three days off from the semi-finals until today."
Hattori Heiji laughed and said jokingly, "After all, this is the time I take leave every year without fail."
"Then you must like Koshien very much?" Xiaolan asked while drinking a drink.
