Your present location is the scene of the crime! And you're on the scene to check out what's currently going on.

Reading

げんば
  • Kyoko
    (Tokyo accent, female)
  • Kenichi
    (Tokyo accent, male)

Explanation

The reading is a combination of the on'yomi and kun'yomi readings. You didn't learn the kun'yomi reading for with the kanji, so here's a mnemonic to help you remember it:

At this crime scene, a "baa" () was apparently heard by witnesses. This can only mean one thing: that infamous arch-criminal, the Lamb-Chopper, has struck again! Baa!
