"Eh? Where's Dad?"
When everyone was about to continue to climb to the top of the mountain, Xiaolan found that her father had disappeared.
"It's over there..." Conan pointed to the izakaya behind him with a "Kinokuniya" sign hanging on it, with a speechless look on his face.
When Xiaolan and the others walked into the izakaya, they found that Kogoro Mouri had a row of snacks in front of him and was already drinking.
"Ha...it turns out that local wine is different!"
Immersed in alcohol, Kogoro Mouri didn't notice Ran who was full of murderous intent outside the door. He took a sip of wine and a bite of snack, with a look of satisfaction on his face.
"dad...!"
Xiaolan looked at her father and gritted her teeth, "You're going to drink like this now? Aren't you going to go to the shrine on the top of the mountain to worship?"
"Sorry! Please help me take care of it!"
Maori Kogoro, who was already drunk, raised his glass and flatly refused to go up the mountain: "Besides, you see, the 'Kinmaru-za' is right there, right? I'll wait for you here."
Maori Kogoro poured the last bit of the shochu in the pot into the cup and said excitedly, "Grandma! Another pot!"
Alcohol gives people courage. After drinking a sip of wine, Kogoro Mori was completely desperate and had long ignored the oppression he felt towards his daughter.
However, his previous ambition to try all kinds of udon noodles was thrown into the corner by the other party at this moment. It can be seen that this wine is true love for Kogoro Mouri.
Looking at her father who was as fearless as a dead pig, Xiaolan couldn't do anything to him. She had no choice but to tell him not to wander around and wait for them to come down the mountain.
Jinpira is the patron saint of the sea and the target of their worship.
Of course, Tang Ze’s attitude towards ghosts and gods is basically the same as that of a “flower grower” - if you think it works, believe it, if it doesn’t, go away and have fun.
And it is most likely to be useless. After all, people who go out to sea usually trust him more, and Tang Ze and others basically have no use for him.
And even if it is useful, to be honest, those "disasters" at sea will come anyway. After all, as long as there is this "Grandma Death" by your side, no matter it is in the sky or in the sea, nothing can stop the "Grandma Death" from coming to take people away.
Of course, a lack of sincerity does not mean that one will not worship.
However, Tangze was quite interested in the mythological history of Jinpiluo, so he read some myths and legends along the way.
"Haha... I was careless... I didn't expect it would only take you halfway up the mountain..."
When the Kudo couple and the Karasawa couple had finished visiting the shrine, Sonoko, who was standing nearby, climbed up to the shrine, breathless, on crutches.
"Your physical strength is too poor. I should have asked you to wait downstairs with Mr. Maori."
Ayako looked at her panting sister and quickly took out a bottle of water: "Drink some water quickly."
After taking the water, Yuanzi took a big gulp and then panted, "Don't... 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 "Imaruza"~"
"Finally, I can go. I've been waiting for a long time!" After hearing Xiaolan's words, Sonoko said excitedly, "I wonder if Mr. Tamonsuke is doing well."
"And Miss Lianhua." Xiaolan said happily.
"Yes, that's the point." But Yuanzi, who was not usually happy with Xiaolan, had a serious expression after hearing Renhua's name, which made everyone present look confused.
Yuanzi was seen stroking his chin and pondering with a look of speculation: "I wonder if their relationship is still as good as it used to be?
You know, Mr. Tamanosuke, I have been aiming for a long time."
"Yuanzi, you!" Xiaolan said angrily when she heard it.
"Ah Zhen, that child will cry!"
Tang Ze started the backstab in a gloomy tone, which made Yuanzi, who was a little too proud of herself, pause: "I'm just saying... I'm just saying..."
"Haha...you're just as bad as the uncle..." Conan couldn't help but complain as he looked at Sonoko's expression.
While talking about looking for someone, he went down the mountain and soon found Kogoro Mori in the tavern.
Fortunately, Kogoro Mouri knew that there were still things to do later, so he didn't drink any more after the second pot.
After the group reunited, they went to the "Kinmaru-za" and met their long-lost friends.
"Welcome." Ito Tamonsuke immediately came forward when he saw everyone at the port.
"Thank you so much for coming all this way." Lianhua smiled and welcomed him, "And Mr. Tang Ze, thank you for your help before.
Whether it's rescuing me from the prisoners or helping me convince my father, I need to formally express my gratitude to you."
"You're too polite. I only tried to persuade your father with reason and emotion. Your father loves Miss Lianhua enough to support your choice."
Tang Ze smiled and said, "Mr. Kataoka is still a father after all, so it's only natural for him to make such a choice."
Looking at the two people chatting happily with Tang Ze, Yuanzi was indeed disappointed and held her forehead with her hand: "It seems there is no hope. Those two people are really a perfect match, the captain and his woman..."
After hearing what Sonoko said, Xiaolan and Conan beside her could only smile bitterly, not knowing what expression to use to face this fickle guy.
Just as Conan was teasing the other party, suddenly a young girl's excited cry came from the distance, "Conan~~"
