"Mr. Li Shuwen, did something happen here? And who are these two?"
Kanna gracefully walked over to Li Shuwen's side, looking at the visiting Fujimaru Ritsuka and Yukina and her mother with some wariness and confusion.
"We're travelers passing through, and we'd like to stay in the village for a few nights."
Fujimaru Ritsuka gave Kanna a slight bow of respect, while also feeling a little surprised.
Judging by Old Li's form of address just now, Miss Kanna's identity in this world was "Lady Shrine Maiden"?
Had Miss Kanna been a shrine maiden in life, or rather, in the world on her side?
Probably not.
The chaos of the Bakumatsu period simply would not have allowed shrines and shrine maidens to exist. Even if they did, they would have been in remote regions, never in Kyoto or Tosa where Kanna had lived. Those places were at the heart of the conflict.
"If you're looking for lodging, that won't be a problem." Kanna smiled with pursed lips and nodded to Fujimaru Ritsuka.
"By the way, Miss Kanna, may I ask whether anything strange has happened in the village recently?"
After hesitating for a moment, Fujimaru Ritsuka asked Kanna a question.
Li Shuwen was guarding the village gate.
Kanna was the village's shrine maiden.
He had a feeling.
The Servants who had gone missing from Chaldea were very likely all in this village.
But why?
That was something they needed to figure out.
"Something strange?" Kanna tilted her head, pressing a slender finger to her cheek as she thought for a moment. "Would Mr. Takasugi inviting a famous kabuki performer from far and wide to put on a show count?"
Fujimaru Ritsuka: Could it be Mr. Takasugi Shinsuke and Miss Izumo no Okuni?
"Probably... not? In any case, we'd be very grateful
