　A village head from rural area went to Edo for sightseeing.

　It was his first time visiting Edo.

　He heard that Edo is not such a safe place, and you should never let your guard down when you stroll the streets.

　So the village head left for Edo with his attendant, Gohei, carrying his package cautiously.



　And now they arrived in Edo.

“Listen, Gohei. Be careful not to have the package stolen as I heard Edo is a dangerous place.”

“Yes, Sir.”

“Mmmm, I see pretty girls everywhere. Gohei, is the package okay?”

“Yes, as you can see.”

“Good. Edo is quite a city as I heard.

　By the way Gohei, you still have the package? I’m worried about it.”

“I still have it.”

“Good. We should be careful as there are so many people here.

　I can’t stop thinking about the package. Gohei, you still have it, don’t you?”

“S…Sir, I’m terribly sorry.

　Your package got stolen just a second ago.”

“What? It’s got stolen?

　I see. Very well.

　Now I can finally enjoy Edo in peace.”
