What brings you to Dazaifu?
 


Akira: My name's Akira, by the way.

Olivia: Olivia. It's a pleasure.
Akira: What brings you to Dazaifu? Sightseeing?

Olivia: Sightseeing? Uh... yes, more or less. Say, could you tell me something? Why is this shrine so famous?

Akira: Many people come here to pray to the kami, or divine spirit, of culture and learning: Sugawara no Michizane. He lived in Dazaifu a long time ago.

Olivia: I see.

Asuka: I'm done!

Olivia: This is Asuka.

Akira: Nice to meet you.

Asuka: Hello. Here's my wish. "I hope to become a great detective." Now I just need to hang it up!

 

Olivia: What does this say?

Asuka: This? It says "Reiwa." It's the new gengo.

Olivia: Gengo?
