Stay away from Conan.

When Conan and Heiji Hattori felt they were being watched and were looking at the crowd over there, the younger of the two monks in the crowd came towards them with a smile, and even made a gesture to shake hands, and said to Hattori Heiji Hattori:

"Ah! It's Mr. Hattori Heiji! I didn't expect you to be here so soon!"

Thus, Hattori Heiji heard the monk in front of him calling out his name and shaking hands with him. This made Hattori Heiji confused and even though he didn't know what was going on, he still subconsciously shook hands with the other party, and then responded in a very puzzled manner:

"Haha... Yes, it's me... Um, may I ask who you are..."

So, Conan, who was watching this scene on the side, was also completely puzzled. He looked at the two people shaking hands in confusion, completely ignoring the feeling of being watched just now. He subconsciously felt that the source of the gaze just now should be the monk in front of him.

In response to this, after hearing Hattori Heiji ask who he was, the monk naturally smiled and explained:
"My name is Ryuen, and I'm a monk at this Sannoji Temple. I'm sure Miss Yuanshan has already told you..."

"Far away mountains?"

Suddenly, when they heard the other party mention Kazuha's last name, Hattori Heiji and Conan were both startled, and then Hattori Heiji couldn't help asking:

"You mean Kazuha? It was Kazuha who told you I was coming here?"

In this regard, Ryuen looked at Hattori Heiji's confused expression and couldn't help but feel puzzled:

"Eh? Isn't it?"

"Yes...what is it?"

Hattori Heiji was now confused by the current situation and asked the monk who called himself Ryuen:
"You...you have seen He Ye?"

"Yes?"

Puzzled, looking at Hattori Heiji's expression, Ryuen was also a little confused by the question, but after thinking about it, he simply explained:
"Ms. Toyama just came here today and said she would help contact you, Mr. Hattori Heiji, to help this temple handle something."

In this way, after a general explanation of the situation, Hattori Heiji and Conan also roughly understood what happened.

It seemed that something happened in this Sannoji Temple. As a result, Toyama Kazuha happened to come to the temple today. After knowing about this, Toyama Kazuha helped Hattori Heiji and agreed that he would let Hattori Heiji come to help deal with it.

As a result, Kazuha did not tell Hattori Heiji about this, but Hattori Heiji happened to come to this temple, so the monk mistakenly believed that Hattori Heiji came to the temple to help at Kazuha's request.

In this regard, after figuring out all this, Hattori Heiji couldn't help but look depressed -

"Today? What? She's here too?"

Hattori Heiji murmured.

At the same time, when he thought that this temple was the place where Hattori Heiji said he met his first love, and now Kazuha had also been here, Conan couldn't help but have some wild thoughts and couldn't help but smile secretly.

Then, after roughly understanding the situation, although he didn't know why Kazuha came here, and why he promised the monks in this temple that he would let him help, but it seemed that he didn't tell him, but since things have come to this point and he has come here, Hattori Heiji couldn't help but say:

"Anyway... Master Ryuuen, is there something going on that needs my attention?"

Thus, with these words, Hattori Heiji tacitly agreed to help. And so, Ryuuen's expression finally relaxed from the confusion just now -

Although it is not clear what is going on, it is a great thing that the high school detective Hattori Heiji from Kansai is really willing to help.

Therefore, Long Yuan was not in a hurry. After all, it was not convenient to discuss this matter in front of outsiders, and there were still guests in the temple.

Just like that, as a courtesy, Ryuen first brought Hattori Heiji to the crowd over there and briefly introduced to Hattori Heiji the abbot of the temple, the elderly monk Enkai with kind eyes and squinting eyes.

Then, Long Yuan introduced the three guests present one by one:

"These three are the temple's donors. This is Mr. Sakura Shozo, who runs an antique shop on Teramachi Street."

Sakura Shozo, a middle-aged man wearing glasses and looking slightly fat, looked at Hattori Heiji with his eyes raised and said to Hattori Heiji:

"The high school detective Hattori Heiji from Kansai? I've heard of your name before. You're really young and promising."

"This is Mr. Mizuo Harutarou, the young master of the contemporary Noh Mizuo-ryu."

Ryuen went on to introduce another young man with a handsome face, wearing a kimono, and whose demeanor showed that he was of noble status.

"And this is Mr. Nishijo Taikawa who runs a used bookstore."

After Ryuen introduced the tall, thin man with a straight figure and round-framed glasses, the man nodded slightly to Hattori Heiji and said:
"Hello, please give me your advice."

After introducing the people present, the host Yuan Hai said with his kind smile:
"Rather than being a donor, we are actually fellow swordsmen."

"Oh?"

Hearing this topic, Hattori Heiji couldn't help but become interested and said:
"So you are all practicing kendo? Actually, I have dabbled in kendo a little bit. If we have time, maybe we can learn from each other."

In this way, through the topic of kendo, Hattori Heiji chatted with everyone present very smoothly, and then talked about sparring. Sakura Masazo, the oldest of the three donors, was eager to try and said to Hattori Heiji:

"Speaking of sparring, I really want to have a fight with the young people nowadays, so... it's better to do it today than today. The venue here is not bad. I wonder if Mr. Hattori Heiji would be willing to do me a favor?"

Faced with such an invitation, Hattori Heiji was also willing to give advice. When he was about to agree with a smile, Ryuen hurriedly stepped forward to interrupt:

"Um... Mr. Sakura Shozo, actually Mr. Hattori Heiji is here for something, so...how about you two arrange another time?"

Ryuen tactfully expressed his hope that they would postpone the competition for the time being, as he had to discuss important matters with Hattori Heiji first.

In response to such remarks, Sakura Masazo said that he had no objection and was not in a hurry. He said that he would continue to chat in the temple for a while, and it would not be too late to discuss it with Ryuen and the others after they finished discussing business.

In response, Hattori Heiji readily agreed, and then Mizuo Harutaro and Saijo Taikawa also expressed their desire to stay and witness it.

In this way, the three donors continued to stay in the temple and chat with the abbot, while Ryuen took Hattori Heiji and Conan to the main hall to talk about business... (End of this chapter)
