The Kendo Club's Commission

"I've only heard about it."

Sonoko shook her head and continued, "Her name is Aoyama Motoko. She transferred here this year and is now a member of the kendo club. She's quite popular among the boys... I never expected that she and her Senior would be in the same kendo dojo."

Fujino: "..."

You even know that they're a new transfer student this year?

They still say they don't know each other...

As expected of you, Sonoko.

The reputation of being the head of the Teitan High School intelligence network is well-deserved.

"But why did she come to see Fujino- Senior?"

Ran asked in confusion, "I just heard something that seemed to be something they wanted to ask Fujino for help Senior..."

"And it happened after school..."

Sonoko then noticed the blind spot and asked suspiciously, "Could she be planning to confess to Fujino- Senior?"

"Cough!"

Fujino coughed lightly, interrupting the two infatuated girls' unfounded speculation. "This is really outrageous. The thing she wants to ask me to do is probably related to the kendo club."

I think so too.

Ran nodded in agreement. "If she really wanted to confess to Fujino- Senior, she wouldn't be so direct. She would probably use a love letter or something, or choose a day at the kendo dojo. She would never be so blatant."

Fujino agreed with Ran's statement.

But how does Ran know so much?

Then, Fujino pondered what had just happened.

Aoyama Motoko —his first impression of that name wasn't very good.

Combined with a series of Qingshan-related industries.

Suddenly, he remembered that he was the man who was the root of all evil in this world, the Qidian of all sin.

However, what he cared about more was the commission the other party had mentioned.

Judging from its appearance, it should be a legitimate request, rather than some kind of 'after school, junior sister's confession at dusk'.

I just don't know how much the commission is.

After school.

Fujino, carrying a briefcase, arrived at the Kendo Club of Teitan High School.

Pushing open the door to the kendo club, you'll see a large pile of protective gear in the corner, many Wooden Swords, and a long bench in the middle of the room.

A girl in a school uniform with a long ponytail sat on a bench, reading a book.

Fujino narrowed his eyes and couldn't help but steal a glance.

It's a script for a period drama...

"Ahem."

Aoyama Motoko coughed lightly, noticing that Fujino was peeking.

But she didn't care about any of that.

After standing up, she patted and straightened her skirt, and politely greeted, "Senior Fujino."

"You must be... Aoyama Motoko Sister Aoyama Motoko?"

Fujino withdrew his gaze, paused for a moment, and looked at Aoyama Motoko.

Aoyama Motoko wore a school uniform, had long black hair tied into a single ponytail with a red hair tie, and two strands of long hair fell over her shoulders on either side of her temples. Her fair skin and delicate, aloof face gave her the feel of a traditional samurai girl.

"Hmm, Fujino -senpai, you finally remembered..."

Seemingly satisfied, Aoyama Motoko nodded, her expression unchanged. She put the book back into her bag and got to the point. "Actually, my request this time is to invite you Fujino- senpai, to join our kendo club."

"Inviting me to join the kendo club?"

Upon hearing this, Fujino glanced around.

If we follow the classic storyline, this kendo club would definitely face the risk of being disbanded due to insufficient members.

However, he had also heard of the Kendo Club. Although its performance was not very good, it was not so bad that it was about to be disbanded.

Thinking of this, Fujino still asked, "Is it because there aren't enough people, so they're using me to make up the numbers?"

"If it's just to make up the numbers, I won't bother Senior Fujino."

Aoyama Motoko shook her head, her expression somewhat serious, and said, "Actually, the reason I asked my senior brother to join the Kendo Club is because of the former captain of the Kendo Club."

"Your former commander..."

Fujino noticed a blind spot in the situation. "Has something happened to him?"

"Nothing happened, he was just hit and killed by a truck that ran a red light."

Aoyama Motoko twitched her chin and gave a calm response.

Hearing the girl in front of him say something unserious in a serious tone, Fujino was speechless.

What do you mean by "no accident happened, just killed in a collision"?

This isn't a big deal?

That makes sense, after all, this is Tokyo, which is shrouded in the aura of the Beika brand.

In this sinful city teeming with martial spirit, death seems as commonplace as drinking water; killing two people in a car accident doesn't seem like a big deal.

Even casual bystanders would immediately chime in with their jokes.

"Even if the commander is dead, you should be able to handle it on your own, right?"

Fujino felt that Aoyama Motoko's strength was still quite good.

Although they were both members of the Konoha Kendo Hall, he hadn't paid much attention to the other person.

But in terms of sheer strength, the opponent is definitely an elite.

After all, this is a 'newcomer' who can advance alongside him.

"Under normal circumstances, yes. In a regular match, I am more than capable of serving as the team's captain."

Aoyama Motoko's expression suddenly turned grim. "But this time, the one participating in the competition is that monster from Kansai... the beast Okita Soji."

"Okita Soji?"

Fujino was taken aback upon hearing this, and couldn't help but straighten up.

Okita Soji appears to be a character from another of Aoyama Gosho's works.

He made a cameo appearance in Conan.

Just like Kaito Kid.

Like Kaito Kid, that blue man is also a pervert (a pervert to a certain degree).

Although it didn't reach the level of creating something from scratch like before.

Even with the significant reduction, the combat effectiveness of wielding a sword can still reach an A+ level.

They are indeed a formidable opponent.

If it were just based on Aoyama Motoko's strength alone, she would probably be easily defeated.

No, I would say that any high school student would be utterly crushed.

"As expected, you've heard of him too, Senior Fujino..."

Aoyama Motoko was not surprised, after all, Okita Soji was a monster, a well-known figure in the world of kendo.

However, in comparison, she believes that her senior brother, who is "uncivilized in martial arts," may have a more illustrious reputation than the other party.

Black and red are still red. Who says that playing with a sword means you have to be ethical?

Although the two sides have no historical record of fighting each other, she believes that her senior brother is definitely capable of fighting Okita.

She was even a little curious about what kind of scene would unfold when that monster Okita faced off against her senior, Fujino.

"Hmm... he's a tough character."

Fujino nodded thoughtfully.

He was also very curious about how far he could go if he fought Okita Soji.

After all, with his current full strength, he seems to have surpassed A.

Perhaps Okita Soji could be used as a whetstone...

With that thought in mind, Fujino nodded silently, finally understanding Aoyama Motoko's intentions. "In that case, I understand now. Your request is probably for me to take the lead and guide Teitan High School to defeat that Okita guy..."

Aoyama Motoko nodded silently, agreeing with Fujino's guess.

"And what about the commission?"

Fujino looked at Motoko and asked, "After all, this is a formal commission. If there's no commission fee..."

"If we win the competition, 75 percent of the prize money from the school and the competition will go to Fujino."

Aoyama Motoko had already devised a plan regarding the commission fee, so she directly offered 75% of the competition prize money as compensation.

She had already discussed this matter with the club members before the meeting.

Although she is now the captain and manager of the kendo club, there are still some things she needs to say.

After she made the suggestion, the Kendo Club collectively approved it.

The reason it went so smoothly was because everyone wanted to see who would win between the 'senior brother' of the Konoha Kendo Hall and Okita Soji beast of Kansai.

Fujino thought for a moment and then agreed, "In that case, I'll take on this request. Junior Sister Motoko, remember to call me before the competition."

There are prizes for kendo competitions. The school gives out some, the organizers give out some, Suwa Yuji can also give some. Taking 75% of the prize money, it should still be more than one million yen.

Money doesn't matter to him; it's just a string of numbers to him now.

Most importantly, he wanted to Okita Soji with bayonets.

"Ring ring!"

I had just left the kendo club when a phone suddenly rang in my pocket.

Fujino took out his phone and saw a message from Ai Haibara:

Ai Haibara: [Haven't you gone home yet? Did something happen?]

Fujino glanced at the text message, thought for a moment, and replied:

[No.]

[I just accepted a request from my junior colleague, but it won't start until next month. Is there anything I need to bring back?]

Ai Haibara quickly replied: [At noon today I mentioned that the Matsutake Mushroom you made were delicious, and the kids started clamoring to come to our house to eat them. They've come back with me now... sigh]

"A bunch of little foodies... but I think I told them to come and eat last time..."

Fujino murmured to himself, then quickly typed. "I understand. I'll buy some seasonings and make it when I get back."

Ai Haibara: [Panda: Thank you for your help. jpg]

The sun is setting.

Fujino bought some seasonings and had just returned to his doorstep when he heard a noisy commotion.

Pushing open the door, I saw the Junior Detective League gathered around the coffee table, curiously looking at something.

He walked over and saw the children gathered around a turtle...

Okay, it's the turtle we caught last time.

She has been adopted by Ai Haibara ever since.

Well, in a sense, turtles are animals too.

"What an adorable turtle!"

Ayumi looked at the turtle on the table Ayumi curiosity, looking like an adorable little girl.

"It looks like a green sea turtle..."

Mitsuhiko examined the sea turtle in front of him, then turned to Haibara with Ai Haibara smile and asked, "Did Haibara?"

Ai Haibara nodded. "Yeah, Fujino caught it when he went fishing by the lake or river a while ago, and brought it back to me as a pet."

Mitsuhiko's expression was strange. "You can catch sea turtles while fishing by the river?"

"Yes, it was definitely fished by the river."

Conan nodded, hesitated for a moment, and said, "I watched Fujino go home empty-handed for ages. Besides fish, he caught a whole bunch of tires, yen, boots, and even a sea turtle..."

"Boots, and tires..."

Mitsuhiko was speechless for a moment. "Can you really fish out something like that in real life?"

"Yes, I used to think that this was just something that happened in cartoons."

Conan gave a deadpan look. "Until that guy actually fished it out..."

"My mom won't let me keep pets... She says that if I keep one now, it will die very quickly."

Ayumi sighed, then turned to Ai Haibara and asked, "By the way Haibara, what's this turtle's name?"

Ai Haibara: "Hmm..."

To be honest, this question is really quite difficult.

Although she was indeed taking care of the turtle.

But it was not actually named.

"You've all come."

Fujino stepped forward, greeted them, and conveniently defused the situation. "By the way, do you guys really like animals? I even have a bamboo rat in my room..."

"Bamboo rat?"

The children's attention was immediately diverted.

Ai Haibara relief, and the countless names of sea turtles that had flashed through her mind vanished.

Are bamboo rats any kind of rodent?

Is it edible?

"That's a type of large rat from China. I've seen it in pet stores before."

"Isn't it cute?"

"It's kind of cute."

"By the way, what's its name?"

"Feichi."

"What a strange name..."

The little ones hopped and skipped along to see the bamboo rats. While they were there, Fujino returned to the living room and, together with Ai Haibara, prepared and cooked Matsutake Mushroom matsutake mushrooms. Then, she went back to her room and called out to the little ones who were still playing with the bamboo rats, "Alright, time to eat!"

"Is it ready?!"

"I'd also like to try Brother Fujino's cooking."

The little ones put the bamboo rats back into their cages and left with great interest.

Fujino stepped forward and looked at the bamboo rat that had survived surgery a while ago.

The bamboo rat lay listlessly in the wood shavings of its cage, tears welling in its eyes: [I think I'm going to die again.]

"Hmm, Senior Feichi looks dejected."

Fujino chuckled and shook his head, then turned and went back to the living room.

The little ones were already sitting around the table, their mouths watering as they looked at the Matsutake Mushroom feast on it.

Although they really wanted to eat, they still remembered that they couldn't start eating before the host arrived.

After Fujino sat down, they shouted, "Let's eat!"

The small Matsutake Mushroom dinner was quickly devoured by the family and several children.

After they had eaten their fill, they lay down on Fujino's sofa and watched Kamen Rider on the large plasma TV.

Ayumi looked up from the TV and smiled at Fujino, saying, "Brother Fujino's cooking is really good!"

Genta: "Um... it's a little worse than my mom's, but it's still very good!"

"This level of skill is comparable to that of a high-end restaurant!"

Mitsuhiko praised, "The last restaurant I went to with my dad didn't taste as good as today's."

Conan sat to the side, expressionless.

For high-end restaurants, it was indeed beyond the budget, but in his opinion, the food at high-end restaurants was just so-so.

It's so delicious, but it's her Ran's suffering.

"I'm so envious..."

Ayumi looked at Ai Haibara and smiled slightly, "It's nice to be able to eat such delicious food every day."

"Um..."

Ai Haibara nodded without saying anything more.

It's really quite good; if it were me in the past, I would definitely be envious.

However, Sister Akemi can't cook, Fujino often slacks off, so most of the time Akemi is the one who does the cooking.

Just then, Ayumi suddenly asked Fujino, "We're going skiing with the professor this weekend, Brother Fujino, do you want to come along?"
