[Comprehensive] Goddess Event Book

In the rainy season, the rain is lingering, and Karuizawa is a famous resort.

The Karuizawa company that sponsors Kiin seems to be very rich, and they prepare the best local hotels.And because the number of people is not small, they are distributed in several different hotels.

As the pick-up bus walks towards the foot of the mountain, the surrounding scenery becomes more and more natural.When the hydrangeas and heather slowly and densely appeared in front of her eyes, Anna knew that her destination had arrived.

She knew before that the surrounding scenery of this "Tianbian House" where she was going to stay was dominated by hydrangea and heather. Sure enough, the moment she got off the car, she saw the building hidden in the drizzle.

'Tanabe House' is a traditional Japanese-style hot spring hotel, but because it was established at the end of the [-]th century, it was the period when Japan most yearned for Europe and the United States, and at the same time had the ability to move closer to Europe and America-a large number of Western-style villas in Karuizawa at this stage New resorts were built, many of which were masterpieces of architects.So there will be a Western style in the details.

A total of ten or so professional chess players were assigned to Tanabe House, including Anna and Ogata Seiji.When everyone was busy getting off the bus, the hotel had already sent someone to pick them up with an umbrella. Standing at the entrance was Ms. Sayuri Tanabe, the fourth-generation "female general" of "Tanabe House".

The word "female general" actually means female boss. It seems that the Tanabe family only had daughters from the beginning of running the Tanabe house, so the son-in-law was recruited from generation to generation, and then the family business was passed on for a hundred years.

Ms. Sayuri Tanabe knows that she has received considerable training, and she helps guests with hospitality and courtesy.Just like the spring breeze turns into rain, the people being entertained often don't realize that they are being entertained by a hotel, but it seems that they are being entertained by a friend or relative.Of course, it is more serious than that of real relatives and friends.

Ms. Sayuri Tanabe is young, only in her early thirties.Seeing Ogata Seiji was very surprised, and seemed to want to say something, but at this time, due to the status of her female general and Ogata Seiji's guest, it was difficult to say much.Only at the end did she whisper her request - she is a chess fan of Ogata Seiji, hoping that the other party can help sign.

Generally speaking, it is relatively easy for chess fans to get the signature of a certain chess player, because professional Go players are very kind, and there are not so many chess fans.When a chess player gives a chess lecture or participates in other activities at the chess academy, it couldn't be easier to ask for an autograph.

The problem is that Ms. Sayuri Tanabe is stuck with the inherited family business, how can she easily have time to leave Karuizawa?Even leaving Karuizawa may not be able to fit in with Ogata Seiji's activities, so so far there is no Ogata Seiji's signature.

Anna tilted her head and glanced at Seiji Ogata, who was signing the autograph: "It's great, Senior Brother Ogata likes a beautiful female player like Miss Tanabe. By the way, a magazine has done a popularity survey before, and Senior Brother Ogata is popular as a male chess player." No.1 in the movie, right?"

Without the brilliant record of chess players of Taya Yukihiro's generation, nor the momentum and hope of Taya Ryo and Anna's generation, the reason why Ogata Seiji is so popular is actually because passers-by have a high opinion of him.

For chess fans, the older generation is the glory of the past, the youthful years of the past, but for passers-by, they are just old men, and of course the favorability of passers-by is not too high.As for the young teenagers, it always makes people feel unreliable.

Generally speaking, Ogata Seiji's generation of chess players are young and vigorous, and they are the most likely to attract the attention of passers-by.At the same time, Ogata Seiji's handsome appearance and strong chess skills are like a standout among his peers, and his popularity seems to be a matter of course.

Ogata Seiji returned the signed white paper folding fan to Anna, and gently pushed Anna's back: "You should go to your room first, your face is very pale... Didn't you rest well?"

The delayed nap on the train had already caused Anna a headache, but when she took the bus at this time, the motion sickness really became serious.Anna could only puff her cheeks: "A little bit, I'll go to sleep first."

Sayuri Tanabe sent Anna to the room in person, because Anna is the only female chess player in the chess team, so she enjoys the treatment of a single room, which is located in the "Moon Room" on the second floor.

The completely Japanese-style hotel has a unique Western style because it has experienced two special eras, Taisho and Showa. After incorporating some Japanese styles, the Western style has also undergone subtle changes.What remains unchanged is that it is more or less elegant, reserved, and reserved compared to today.

Many details can be seen. The sculptures and porcelain placed in the corner of the corridor are real masterpieces of modern art masters, and there are many good things in the details of the room.Even Anna flipping through the books and picture albums in the room has its own flavor, especially the picture albums, which may not be famous, but they are also characteristic hand-painted works of that era.

It's just that Anna was dying of a headache at this time, so she took off her coat and wrapped herself in a thin quilt.Probably due to being in the mountains, Karuizawa is really a bit cold...

The headache caused Anna, who had been sleeping well, to fall asleep but couldn't. She was so painful that she took a rest for a while.

Anna opened her eyes only after there was a light knock on the door, and the undrawn window reflected the setting sun.Probably because the rain has stopped, the color of the sunset is extraordinarily bright, or the dusk in the mountains is different from the beginning.When the crows and birds twittered, Anna suddenly felt melancholy.

Between half-dream and half-awake, this melancholy began to gradually change. When Anna stood up to open the door, she turned her head and looked out the window.A strange feeling came to my heart—strange, very strange, I always feel... I have strayed into the territory of demons...

The knock on the door at this time was of course for dinner, and when Anna arrived, everyone in the chess academy was already sitting in the reserved Japanese room.This is a Japanese room divided from two rooms, so it can accommodate a dozen people.

Anna sat down and started serving the food.

To be honest, Anna doesn't like Japanese food.She also tried Japanese cuisine when she was not as serious as vegetarianism, but from the heart, the level of Japanese cuisine is not high, and many of them are artificially inflated.

Just look at the recipes of Japanese cuisine. In fact, there are only a few that come and go, and basically all of them have been advertised.As for the so-called new dishes, there is not much creativity, at least they cannot stand up to scrutiny. Many newly developed dishes are not fundamentally different from the previous similar dishes.

However, this cannot be blamed on the Japanese catering industry, which is actually determined by the background.Japan's diet has been very simple since the early days. Even the royal family and the samurai who gained real power eat very poorly. As for the life of the common people...the life of the common people in ancient Japan was not easy.

You only need to look at how Japan collected taxes in ancient times. If you think that the ancient Chinese taxes are high enough, look at the ancient Japanese tax ratios. That is terrible.

When various cooking methods were studied on the land of China, the Japanese diet was still very simple.It was after the Meiji era that Japan's catering achieved great development. Active reforms made the country gradually prosperous, and the citizens began to have a little spare money. This is the first development here.

But at this time, Japan is still not rich, and the real development is actually after the failure of the aggression against China.

In just a few decades, the people of Dongying worked hard, and because of good opportunities, the people became rich and able to study the catering industry.

Decades is too short a time, and most of the dishes are actually created for the sake of innovation.Unlike Chinese cuisine, it is improved consciously or unconsciously due to many accidents due to changes in the times and regions over a long period of time-this kind of progress is very slow, but this is brought about by time and history wealth.

It may be cruel to say so, but the reality is that countries with a strong food tradition are naturally winners.The reason why the reputation of Chinese cuisine is dusty and Japanese cuisine is rising is because the country has not regained its position as the mainstream of the world.When Huaxia reconnects with the world and becomes strong again, it will be a matter of course for Chinese cuisine to be recognized.

But that being said, Anna didn't say a word to the cook, no matter what she said, she should have basic respect for the cook.What's more, she is a vegetarian, who just eats a few fruits and vegetable leaves. What qualifications do she have to say these words?

The appetizers are fish roe dishes and tofu dishes. Anna is not familiar with Japanese dishes and cannot name them.The only good news is that the tofu dishes do not use seafood and meat, so Anna can also eat them.

When the soup came, Anna could only smile—the oysters were dotted one by one on the white tofu, the snow-white scallops, green water celery, and orange-red carrots, the color scheme was really beautiful.However, because of the seafood, it can't be said to taste it. Anna will feel uncomfortable whenever she touches meat.

Oysters and scallops are better, but the previous fish roe dish is terrible!

This can be regarded as the instinctive reaction of the practitioner. Even if the practitioner can't help but eat any meat, it will be pigs and cattle, not fish or small animals.

How much quail should be used for a plate of fried quail, and how much beef should be used for a plate of beef?The killings committed under the equality of all living beings are completely different.As for fish roe, there are many things involved in one bite, and ordinary practitioners will not desperately add unnecessary burdens to their practice.

Next is sashimi and so on, Anna continued to thank you for not being sensitive.

Steamed food, chicken pot, and the final main course is a special freshwater fish in Karuizawa. Anna has never heard of this Japanese word before.Then there is matsutake rice and miso soup-each dish is not a lot, but because it is rich, it is very satisfying.

The price of such a luxurious meal is absolutely staggering, and everyone can only be happy and the sponsor pays the bill.

The only one who is not satisfied is Anna, who can barely eat some decorative radish sculptures.Sayuri obviously also noticed this, and took away the tableware in embarrassment: "Is Teacher Anna not used to eating?"

"No, it's not like that." Anna waved her hand: "I'm a vegetarian, if it's not troublesome, can I ask Miss Tanabe to send it to the female soup in the fruit section?"

"Ah! So that's the case! I didn't know it before, it's really rude." Sayuri Tanabe bowed her head deeply.

The price of the service industry in Japan is very expensive. In contrast, the quality of service is very particular.Guests like them did not inquire about their eating habits in advance and make corresponding remedies, which really makes them feel very guilty.

Dinner was not very good for Anna, but fortunately, the bath later was very good.In addition to entertaining chess players like Anna and the others, the entire 'Tanabe House' has very few guests.Especially on the female soup side, Anna is the only one!

After rinsing off the shower, Anna lay down in the hot spring and enjoyed it at ease. There was a small wooden basin floating on the surface of the hot spring water, and the wooden basin contained fruits and drinks—sugar cane juice squeezed by Tanabe House itself.The sweetness may not be as good as that sold outside, but the sweetness of sugarcane remains.

The tip of the nose is the faint sulfur smell of the hot spring. Soaking in the hot spring, the fruit is iced, and the sugarcane juice is also very sweet.Closed her eyes slightly, Anna felt that the fatigue of the day disappeared, and even the headache disappeared.

"excuse me!"

The female voice made Anna open her eyes, and then saw a very familiar girl.After a little recollection, Anna remembered that this was the girl she had met at the station before, who was with the famous detective Mori Kogoro.

At that time, there was also a very strange child that caught Anna's attention. The child's soul and body were very different.She originally planned to check it carefully, but because the bus carrying the chess players left, it didn't matter.

I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence that everyone lived in the same hotel. How wonderful... What a ghost!It is convenient for Anna to confirm that what she suspected before is correct, but the problem is also very serious!She clearly remembered that detective Kogoro Mori had accidents wherever he went!

It's better not to get in touch with this terrible 'luck'!

I think so in my heart, but the reality can't say it like that.Anna could only nod: "Hello."

The girl who came was Mao Lilan, the daughter of the now famous detective Mori Kogoro. She noticed that there was only one girl about her own age in Nutang, and she was indeed relieved.I heard that the reason why the hotel is hosting chess players is that they are already full, so I thought there would be a lot of people.

Mao Lilan is obviously a high school girl who doesn't understand Go at all. The ratio of men and women in Go has long been terribly out of balance.

The two girls are not very familiar with each other, but fortunately, they are not introverted.After Mao Lilan also entered the water, Anna already knew that the family had won the invitation ticket of Tanabe House - Tanabe House is a very high-end hotel, and it is rare to have the opportunity to experience it, so the family paid for transportation at their own expense.

Anna touched the surface of the hot spring water: "Our story was organized by the Chess Institute, and it was said that Karuizawa has corporate sponsorship... It is said that although the Chess Academy is financially tight, there are still some such sponsorships every year. It is considered a good benefit."

With the decline of the Go population, the Go industry is indeed shrinking, and even the finances of the Go Institute are getting tighter and tighter.However, the characteristics of Go itself determine that it has a high level of compulsion, and it is an elegant and traditional competitive game recognized by the public.It is very popular in the upper class, and it is recognized by ordinary people. There are indeed many small sponsorships and the like.

Mao Lilan was still surprised when she knew that Anna was younger than herself.

"It's amazing, are you competing with adults who are much older than you at such a young age?" Mao Lilan thought of his childhood sweetheart Kudo Shinichi who hadn't seen him for a long time. He also surpassed most adults as a high school student.

Of course, Anna didn't know what Mao Lilan thought of, but she just spoke her mind naturally.

"I am not too young. The research of Go is getting more and more advanced. Many players who are much younger than me have achieved their own achievements. In other words, I choose Go because it is a game that does not distinguish between men and women and ages. Projects, even if they are young, even if they are girls, as long as they win, they will be respected indiscriminately - I like winning."

Tanabeya is a family hot spring hotel that also provides yukata for guests.I don’t know what happened to the men’s bath, but the women’s bath has two different yukatas, light purple and light pink, with only a little floral pattern on the hem and sleeves.The fabric is very comfortable and the colors are very fresh. Mao Lilan chose pink, and Anna chose light purple.

Except for traditional festivals with her Japanese family, Anna rarely wears Japanese clothes.However, since it is a hot spring, and it is in such an atmosphere of a Japanese-style hotel, it is true that a Japanese-style yukata is the most suitable.

A magazine photographer who took photos of Anna once said that she has the temperament of a female star in the Taisho period and Showa period.Probably because during that period Japan was developing rapidly, striving upwards, and its style was healthy and bright—similar to the style of beauties in the golden age of Hong Kong movies.

Because of the hot springs, the hair was tied up in a bun. At this time, the broken hair on the neck and temples was wet with water, and even the bangs had some slight moisture.Wearing a simple traditional yukata, Kakashi stepped on a pair of clogs.Probably because I was used to the clogs when I was wearing the shrine maiden costume, so it didn't look unnatural at all.

Clogs stepped on the wooden floor and made a "tuk-tuk" sound, and Anna and Mao Lilan had a female soup together.

Coming out of the warm female soup, a gust of cool wind made Anna and Mao Lilan shiver.

"Sister Xiaolan has come out!" The famous detective Mori Kogoro appeared at the end of the corridor together with the child from before.

The child first stood beside Mao Lilan, and Mao Lilan smiled and introduced to Anna: "This is a child who is borrowed from my friend. His name is Edogawa Conan. You can just call him Conan——Conan, this is Liu Anna's sister." , although he is not very old, he is already a super powerful Go player!"

As usual, Conan is pretending to be a child—yes, pretending!

Edogawa Conan is not only his real name, but his fictional identity.His real identity is Mao Lilan's childhood sweetheart who left suddenly, the famous high school detective Kudo Shinichi!

The reason why he fell into this situation was because he was fed by an unknown gangster by a group of black organizations.The rare one didn't die, but woke up as a child.

Because the threat of the Black Organization has not disappeared, he did not reveal his identity.Instead, he used Conan Edogawa's identity as a child to conceal his identity, and cooperated with those who knew his identity to investigate, hoping that one day he could pull out this dangerous organization and restore his original identity.

It's hard to say how clever Conan is when he pretends to be childish, but who would have thought that a young man's soul would be hidden in a child's body?His appearance at most makes people think that this is a 'strange kid', and there is no doubt about it.

But it was different in the eyes of a skeptical person like Anna, everything seemed obvious.Her mind is filled with the three big words 'problems', but she can feel that this child not only has no evil debts, but more merit...

Could it be that some layman's merits and virtues are too great, so after death, he can return to the body of the dead, so that the body and soul are not in harmony?

This is a plot that would appear in strange novels such as "Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio". Anna quickly denied it by herself...the hell in the real world is not so messy!If you have merit, you will repay it in your next life. How could you do such a thing that reverses the law of yin and yang!

"Conan Edogawa? Ranpo and Conan Doyle?" Needless to say, Conan Doyle's name is known all over the world as the author of "Sherlock Holmes".The name Edogawa Ranpo is a little unfamiliar in the world, but Anna has lived in Japan for more than two years, so how could she not know it.

"Your family really likes detective novels." Anna said calmly, actually trying to touch the bottom of this 'Edogawa Conan' with magic.If it was the kind that did no harm, Anna wouldn't just meddle in her own business if she had nothing to do.But if it's dangerous... it's all in front of your eyes, so you have to take care of it.

Conan's intuition as a detective is still very strong, and Anna's observation and scrutiny of him made him a little unnatural, although he didn't know what caught Anna's attention.

"Yes, yes." Conan rubbed the back of his head 'hahaha'.

"It's just a guest I met at the hot spring hotel, so there shouldn't be anything wrong..."

The kid obviously didn't know that this was the real big deal, and Anna could reveal all his secrets!

However, I don't know if it's because of Conan's luck. Whenever Anna wants to do something, something will interrupt her.Before, the bus left suddenly, but this time, a strange cry outside interrupted everything.

The sound is unusual... in short, it makes people feel that something must have happened!

The Tanabe House is built at the foot of the mountain, and the surrounding area is a real forest except for the flower beds and artificially planted trees.The cry was not made by the people in the hotel, it sounded more like it came from the woods in the mountains.In the distance, there is another empty echo.

This sound obviously alarmed the people in the hotel who heard it, and even the chess players who had been having trouble ran to the courtyard corridor in a hurry.

"What's going on? Did something happen?" came the sound of chaotic footsteps.

Even Sayuri Tanabe, the female general of the Tanabe House, was alarmed. While asking the hotel staff to comfort the guests, she took someone to check it herself—the sound could reach Tianbianguan, so the place of the accident must not be far away.
