Okita: Holy Shit, You Sneaky Bastard!

Fujino really wanted to know what Okita had eaten to grow up like that.

This kid is really good.

You can even sense the murderous intent.

If he hadn't cheated, he probably wouldn't have been able to kill him instantly...

At this moment, Hattori Heiji returned to the venue after solving the murder case, only to find that the match had already ended. He exclaimed in surprise, "Okita was defeated?"

"Yes."

Okita, standing to the side, nodded with a smile, "This guy is truly a formidable opponent!"

Hattori Heiji: "..."

To be called powerful by Okita.

Fujino... I'm becoming more and more unfathomable.

"Hey, Heiji."

When Hattori Shizuka saw Hattori Heiji return, she walked over and said resentfully, "What were you doing just now... Kazuha said you were the general of the new faction, but I just stood in the audience watching and waiting for ages!"

"There's nothing I can do about it, Mom."

Hattori Heiji, "There was a murder just now, and I was really tied up, but thankfully I've caught the culprit!"

"Hello, hello..."

Conan, who was standing beside him, glanced at it speechlessly.

He deserves half the credit, doesn't he?

Why does it seem like it's all your credit?

"But since you defeated that Okita guy..."

Hattori Heiji ignored Conan and sized up Fujino, muttering, "Looks like you'll be my new rival in kendo from now on!"

Yes, Fujino defeated Okita.

Rounding up, he only needs to defeat one Fujino.

In other words, they even defeated Okita!

What on earth are you thinking?

Toyama Kazuha was annoyed by Hattori Heiji Hattori's wild idea and walked over, saying irritably, "It's a good thing you didn't go on stage just now, otherwise you'd probably be lying in the hospital for the next week."

Hattori Heiji clearly didn't realize the seriousness of the situation, and asked in bewildered surprise, "Is it that scary?"

"Okita Soji's three-stage attack can injure you. If it were Fujino's flurry of attacks, you would probably be seriously injured!"

Toyama Kazuha sighed and pointed to the arena floor, "In the previous duel, that guy was beaten so badly by Fujino that his protective gear exploded, and several pieces of the arena floor were crushed!"

"..."

Hattori Heiji.

Several sections of the stadium floor were indeed damaged.

Did they leave this behind?!

"Forget it."

Conan, with his short legs, couldn't reach Hattori Heiji's shoulder, so he patted Hattori Heiji's thigh and said meaningfully, "If you fight with Fujino, that guy Fujino will definitely be forced to become a murderer."

"Hello!"

Hattori Heiji's face darkened. "Are you saying I'm going to be beaten to death?!"

Conan: "..."

Wouldn't that be possible?

Coming to his senses, Hattori Heiji Fujino sheepishly. "Um, as for rivals or something, never mind?"

"That won't do..."

Fujino chuckled, "Speaking of which, I haven't even fought you yet. Looks like I've gained another formidable rival~"

Hattori Heiji: "..."

It seems they're not going to let me off the hook...

Why talk so much?!

My mouth!

"In that case, how about Fujino- kun comes to our house as a guest today?"

Hattori Shizuka suddenly suggested, "Our backyard is quite large, which is a good place for the two of you to spar."

"I think it's fine."

Fujino nodded slightly. "Speaking of which, I'd also like to see Hattori's strength."

"Hello, hello..."

Hattori Heiji's face immediately darkened.

Mom, are you trying to kill me?!

"Congratulations on winning, Fujino- kun~"

Ooka Momiji walked slowly over from the audience, chuckled, and glanced at Okita Soji: "And he even defeated this arrogant kid from the kendo club."

"What do you mean by being arrogant all the time..."

Okita Soji retorted speechlessly, looking at Ooka Momiji with a hint of resentment. "Besides, you're also from our Izumi Shin High School, right... and even a classmate. Why do you look so happy that your own people were defeated?"

"What do you mean 'one of us'? How can you compare yourself to him?"

Ooka Momiji gave Okita a disapproving look, then looked at Fujino and laughed, "After all, he's my future husband!"

"So that's what it was... Huh?!"

Okita Soji didn't realize it at first, but when he came to his senses, he looked left at Fujino and then at Ooka Momiji, completely bewildered. "Future's darling?!"

However, the shock was only momentary, and an unnamed fire of gossip ignited in his heart.

Okita sidled up to Fujino and chuckled, "Fujino- kun, I never expected you to be like this... No wonder you beat me up so hard... But when exactly did this happen? Could you tell me in detail...?"

"Ahem."

Fujino coughed lightly, feeling his old face getting a little hot.

He loves to tell the truth, despite being a reserved and upright Chinese person.

He still felt somewhat embarrassed by this form of address.

I don't know how Momiji could say that without blushing or skipping a beat.

"Proactive young girls are terrifying."

Fujino took a deep breath, silently sighed to himself, then leaned down and whispered in Ooka Momiji's ear, "Speaking of which, before the match started, this kid seemed to have called you 'Big-Breasted Girl'... Did you know that?"

"Ha?"

Ooka Momiji was slightly taken aback upon hearing this. "Big... breasted girl?"

"Yes..."

Fujino nodded silently. "You don't know... I saw you calling him that quite familiarly, so you probably call him that a lot."

Okita Soji's face stiffened. "..."

Holy crap, it's Sixth Brother!

Fujino, you little bastard, you betrayed me!

So you immediately told a woman about it?!

"Okita Soji!"

Ooka Momiji glared fiercely at Okita.

"Um, I'll be going now!"

Okita Soji quickly fled the scene, saying, "I won't bother you anymore!"

Conan: "..."

As expected of Fujino.

As expected, it's still the sixth brother.

"But speaking of which, I remember Ms. Ooka mentioned that she had booked a room for tonight."

Hattori Heiji suddenly remembered something and said with a wicked smile, "In that case, Fujino probably won't be able to come to my house tonight... What a pity that he won't be able to witness the strength of someone who can defeat Okita!"

"Phew... I'll settle the score with you when we go to school."

Ooka Momiji took a deep breath to calm her heaving chest.

"It's alright, it's just a rooftop room where we've set up a celebration dinner."

Her expression softened, and she explained with a pure, light laugh, "We can go to Mr. Hattori's house for a friendly match after the banquet."

Fujino: "..."

It turned out to be just a victory celebration dinner at a hotel?

Um... was my thinking dirty?!

Looking at Ooka Momiji's innocent smile, Fujino felt guilty.

Coming to his senses, he smiled at Hattori Heiji, a smirk playing on his lips. "Hattori, it seems you're eager to prove your skills... In that case, let's have a good dance tonight..."

"..."

Conan felt that the laugh looked familiar, and he glanced at Hattori in shock, completely dumbfounded!

Good bro, I never knew you were so brave!

Even I wouldn't dare to cheat that old man Fujino!

You actually dared to run into it with a gun pointed at you...

I silently make a cross for you.

May you rest in peace, my dear brother.
