Chapter 793 Haibara Ai: I'm Just Curious [Bonus chapter for Patron Aerial Splits Sword Master]
In the following time, Suzuki Sonoko discovered that opening the Door revealed the Kamogawa River and the Night Cherry Blossoms, so she invited Mouri Ran and Kazuha Toyama to enjoy the scenery.
"So beautiful!" Mouri Ran exclaimed.
"So beautiful!" Inside the Room, Mori Kogoro grabbed Chizuru's Hand and rubbed it against his Face, "These fingers are like White Fish, I really want to eat them~"
Chi Feichei was speechless and poured himself a Glass of Wine.
His Teacher is truly someone who disregards his image, is unbearable to look at directly, is an eyesore, is improper... an old pervert!
Moreover, for a Woman with such a white Face, even if her features are beautiful, he didn't feel any Charm, it's like facing a white Wall wearing Clothes.
"Huh?" Mori Kogoro, holding Chizuru's Left Hand, noticed that Chizuru had a Band-aid on the Thumb of her Left Hand near the tiger's mouth, and was a little surprised, "Your Finger is injured."
Hattori Heiji Looked at Chi Feichei, and then exchanged Line of Sight with Conan.
Chi Feichei noticed Haibara Ai Looking at him, and also returned a calm Gaze, signaling Haibara Ai not to overthink.
Some People think that when shooting Archery, if you don't wear Protective Gear, the Right Hand pulling the Bowstring is easily strangled or scratched by the Bowstring, but in fact, the Left Hand used to support the Bow and stabilize and adjust the Arrow's Location is also easily injured, which is the Location where Chizuru put a Band-aid.
In Other Words, Chizuru is very likely to know Archery, and has used Bow and Arrow recently.
But the Injury is there, even if she is not a Newcomer who just started Training, she won't have the Level as high as the person who attacked that person.
Just when the four People here were silently exchanging Line of Sight, Chizuru shyly withdrew her Hand, "It's nothing."
"Let Kogoro help you heal it~" Mori Kogoro's smile became even more indecent, completely unaware that Mouri Ran had already Turned Around and come in.
"Old Dad, don't go too far!" Mouri Ran roared at Mori Kogoro.
Mori Kogoro broke out in a sweat and quickly restrained himself.
Hattori Heiji and Conan walked Speechless to the Wooden Railing, and when they Looked Downwards, they discovered Ayanokoji Fumimaro walking on the opposite River bank, and were a little surprised.
"You guys can go to the Terrace Downstairs to enjoy the beautiful Night Cherry Blossoms," Mizuo Harutaro reminded, "The Meteorological Bureau said that the Clouds tonight will dissipate, and you can see the beautiful moon scenery."
Mouri Ran, Suzuki Sonoko, and Kazuha Toyama Decided to go and See, Conan and Hattori Heiji insisted on staying, which made Kazuha Toyama silently drink two bottles of Hattori Heiji and Chizuru's Jealousy.
Haibara Ai ignored Mizuo Harutaro's expectant Gaze, picked up the Bow and Arrow that Chi Feichei had placed Aside, "Compared to enjoying the scenery, I would rather play Bow and Arrow, don't worry, I'm just curious, I won't disturb you."
Mizuo Harutaro: "..."
That what...
He really didn't dislike having Girls and Children here being a hindrance, although having Girls here, it is a bit difficult to have fun, especially with his Daughter staring at him, Mr. Mouri is too miserable, but as a Little Girl, don't express the hint of 'don't worry, I understand, I won't disturb you', it makes People feel quite embarrassed.
Also, what is 'just a little curious'?
Mouri Ran, Suzuki Sonoko, and Kazuha Toyama didn't understand, thinking that Haibara Ai wanted to stick to Chi Feichei and be a little protector, and saying 'not disturbing' just meant not disturbing A Group of People talking, and went to the Terrace Downstairs to See the scenery together.
With the three Girls leaving, A Group of People had a lot more fun.
At least Mori Kogoro, without Mouri Ran staring at him, was having a blast, playing Drinking Game with Chizuru.
Another beautiful Woman also played Shamisen to help liven things up, and the Atmosphere became lively for a while.
Chi Feichei just sat Aside, occasionally taking a sip of Liquor, evaluating Chizuru's Ability.
Japanese Geisha sell Art but not themselves, wearing gorgeous Kimono, creating a perfect Female image of being good at music, chess, calligraphy and painting, Tea Ceremony and flower arrangement, gentle and considerate, knowledgeable and well-mannered, and understanding.
Since ancient times, Geisha have not only been Girls from poor Family Fortune who came for Money, some Girls from good Family Fortune just felt that Geisha was an Art and joined this industry.
And every Geisha has to go through years of Study, Training various Skills, Training the Ability to observe words and expressions, Training the Skill of speaking, and even small Details such as walking and entering the Door will be repeatedly practiced to be Elegant and appropriate and make Guests feel their respect.
The Status of excellent Geisha is not low, they may not necessarily be very good-looking, but they must have talent, they can chat about current national affairs, and gossip about Entertainment, and are considerate and meticulous.
The People Geisha face are also limited to dignitaries and wealthy merchants, and the appearance fee is not low, and it is not something Ordinary Person can afford.
During their employment, Geisha must not get Marriage, and to get Marriage they must first retire to ensure the 'purity' of the Geisha industry. If they have a Man during their employment, their Value will also plummet, and they will end up in a bleak situation.
In the End, the Work of Geisha is no different from that of female Stars attending Drinking Game to help liven things up, and they also rely on Reputation Protagonist Aura and being sophisticated to liven up the Atmosphere to increase Value.
Is it good? Not good either.
Among first-class Geisha, a good Ending is to marry into a wealthy Family, but this is rare, and more often they slowly lose their luster and are eliminated when they reach a certain Age.
And first-class Geisha are only a small Portion, not to mention other Geisha, sometimes there is not so much Choice.
First-class Geisha dare to express dissatisfaction when Guests behave rudely, but more Geisha can only endure it and try to resolve it.
There are not many truly self-respecting Geisha, and there are always some who are deceived, especially Newcomer, driven by the beautiful Ending of 'marrying into a powerful and wealthy Family', secretly handing themselves over, and being thrown away after being played with, and dare not speak out for the sake of Reputation.
In his previous life, when he was on Task in the Japan area, he had contact with Geisha. In the Original Consciousness Memory, one year when he accompanied his Old Dad to Kyoto, he also saw them at the Banquet with those big Families in Kyoto.
There are almost no Geisha in Tokyo, but there are still some in Kyoto.
In terms of Geisha's Business Ability, Chizuru is currently still a 'Apprentice Geisha' who has just completed her Study, her Reputation is not high, and she is not experienced and sophisticated enough. Compared with Geisha who have been in the industry for a long time, there is always a sense of Amateurish and rigidity, that is, Mori Kogoro, this old lecher, is too supportive, and has not encountered difficult Guests, otherwise it is really not certain that she can Handle it.
Although he came to poach People, he also had to evaluate whether it was suitable to poach, and what the Value and potential were.
Her Etiquette and demeanor are excellent, and her Ability to adjust the Atmosphere is also passable. Her response Ability is barely passable. Her Drinking Game Business is definitely better than a newbie.
Singing and dancing, and playing musical instruments have been Trained, and should be of a certain Standard, without spending too much effort to cultivate.
Her Appearance is excellent, and she is suitable for taking the cute Route. Her Throat is not good, probably to show Gentleness, she is used to suppressing her Throat, but it is not yet clear how she sings, some People's speaking and singing are completely two different Feelings.
Lack of Reputation, if she wants to Development well and have a long-term future, it is best to Train her Acting Skill...
Haibara Ai was playing Bow and Arrow with Hassashi Aside, Looked Up and discovered that Chi Feichei was Looking at Chizuru, Looked Up again and discovered that Chi Feichei was drinking Liquor, but his Gaze was still paying attention to Chizuru, Looked Up again and again, and discovered that Chi Feichei was Looking at Chizuru again, so she simply stopped playing, Observed for a while, and discovered that Chi Feichei's Gaze was not Looking at all, but Staring openly, "Cough."
Stop Staring, using that cold Gaze to Stare at a Girl, haven't you discovered that Chizuru's Back is getting stiffer and stiffer?
Chi Feichei Turned Head and asked Haibara Ai, "Feeling bored?"
"No," Haibara Ai had Black Lines on Forehead, and said in a low voice, "Just Look, just Think, is useless."
"Also Correct." Chi Feichei agreed, and Stepped Forward to join the Team playing Drinking Game with Chizuru.
No Matter what Game they play, if he loses, he drinks Liquor, if Chizuru loses, she sings, he specifies, just two sentences will do.
Ai is right, instead of Speculation about how Chizuru sings, it is better to let Chizuru sing two sentences to evaluate.
Haibara Ai Looked and Looked, and silently took out the Detective Handbook Records, occasionally Looked at Chizuru, and wrote down evaluations in various aspects.
The Key is, Brother Hichiji seems to like gentle Girls?
Eh? Wait, Hattori Heiji that Fellow seems to be Looking at Chizuru from time to time as well.
Gentle Girls are indeed more popular?
……
In front of the Table, Chizuru lost five rounds in a row, and was designated by Chi Feichei to sing five different Songs, and said with a helpless smile, "Mr. Chi is really good at Game."
Haibara Ai Stared silently Aside.
Is it really okay not to let her win one or two rounds?
Uh... at this time, she doesn't quite understand either.
"But Miss Chizuru's Song is really good!" Mori Kogoro cheered with a smile, "Then let's play a singing Game next."
Chizuru took advantage of the situation to smile and liven up the Atmosphere, "Then I also have to make a small Request, it's not okay if only I sing, those who lose will drink a Glass of Wine and then sing a Song, how about it? Of course, duets are also fine."
"Duet..." Mori Kogoro was expectant.
Seeing the lecherous smile on Mori Kogoro's Face upgrade again, Chi Feichei Decided to talk about Serious Business first, and Got Up and said, "Miss Chizuru, can you Keep Company me to the Washroom?"
Chizuru Got Up and Followed, "Of course, no Problem."
Geisha accompanying Guests to the Washroom is also a kind of Rules.
Other People were accommodating to Mori Kogoro. When Mori Kogoro was playing Game with Chizuru, they would say to Chizuru, 'No Need', hinting that Chizuru should accompany the Famous Detective well, but when Chi Feichei proposed it, no one would feel that it was Wrong.
Although the Banquet was mainly hosted by other People for Mori Kogoro, they are Master and Disciple, it is Normal not to be so Polite.
Watching the two People leave, Haibara Ai put down the Bow and Arrow, picked up Hassashi and quietly Followed in.
She has never seen Brother Hassashi flirt with Girls, and he is usually so cold, she can't Confirm his Standard, and even after speculation, it is extremely bad, she is not reassured if she doesn't go and See.
Chi Feichei walked in front, and Chizuru Followed behind, all the way Downstairs.
When passing through the Corridor, Chi Feichei said in a low voice, "Miss Chizuru, you don't have to be nervous."
"Ah!" Chizuru exclaimed in surprise, and quickly lowered her Head, "Sorry, I..."
Before, Chi Feichei had been Staring at her, that calm and oppressive Gaze was like a Needle Aiming at her Back, it was difficult for her not to Sense it. Suddenly taking her out, she was of course inevitably Speculation about Chi Feichei's Intention.
If Chi Feichei makes an excessive Request, how should she refuse without hurting Affection? Should she give a Preventive Shot in Advance? But if he has no other Intention, will it be very embarrassing?
She doesn't hate Chi Feichei, but her Identity is destined that she is not someone who can be in Romance, at least not in the recent young years.
It is false to say that she is not entangled and nervous along the way.
The Key is that she can't figure out Chi Feichei's Personality. He looks like he is not easy to talk to, but he is still very Polite and courteous in his words and actions, which makes her completely clueless about how to respond.
When they arrived at the Entrance of the Washroom, Chi Feichei did not enter the Door, but Turned Around to Face Chizuru, took out a Business Card from his Pocket and handed it forward, "I don't know if you are Interested in becoming a Star?"
"Star?" Chizuru took the Business Card, and Looked Downwards in Doubt.
The Black and silver main Color Tone makes the Business Card look very Texture, the front has big artistic Character 'THK Entertainment Company', and the lower corner only has a Name and a Landline Phone Number, no Position, and no private Phone Number either.
