Great Swordsman Ke Xue

"Ah, it's Kazuha and you guys, are you here so early?"

Hatsube Shizuka looked much more enthusiastic than yesterday. Kazuha and Xiaolan bowed coquettishly, "Smith Marseille, I'm going to bother you again, Aunt Jinghua."

"It's okay, it's okay, come in, I'm still preparing lunch, if you want, you can come and help."

Hatsube Shizuka led everyone into the house. Today, she did not ignore Shimizu Koji and Huihara Ai. Although she didn't say anything, every time she turned around, she was gentle and smiling.

Hatsube Shizuka was still wearing a kimono today, but it was no longer the moon-white kimono of yesterday. Instead, she changed into a dark blue kimono with a starry sky as the background and maple leaf patterns embroidered on it, which was a summer festival style kimono. The makeup on her face was also more delicate than yesterday, making her look more elegant, noble, charming and mature.

"Aunt Jinghua, I want to practice karuta first."

Everyone changed into indoor shoes at the entrance, and Kazuha hesitated and suddenly said.

It was less than ten o'clock in the morning, and it was a little too early for them to come to the door, but Kazuha was only thinking about practicing the karuta skills quickly in order to compete with Hongye in tomorrow's game.

She was really anxious. Except for Shimizu Koji who could probably guess some reasons, others didn't understand Kazuha's eagerness.

"Are you so anxious? Kazuha."

Hattori Shizuka looked at Kazuha calmly with her beautiful eyes, with some doubts and curiosity in her eyes. The reason Kazuha gave yesterday was to go to Kaifang High School, for the expectations of her future senior sister, and to protect the karuta club on behalf of Future. These reasons were reasonable.

But today, it was a little unreasonable, "Kazuha, don't be so anxious." Xiaolan also followed up to persuade.

But this did not make Kazuha feel a little bit of retreat, but made her eyes more determined.

"Although I know it may be a bit rude to say this, I don't have time anymore. I have a reason to win the game! Aunt Jinghua, please!"

Hattori Jinghua quietly looked at Kazuha who bowed to her at a 90-degree angle, with a trace of helplessness in her eyes. She glanced at Shimizu Koji beside her without leaving a trace. Although she didn't know the specific reason why Kazuha did this, she estimated that it was probably related to Shimizu Koji.

After all, apart from Kazuha's parents, it would not be an exaggeration to say that she is the person who knows Kazuha's character best.

"I really can't do anything about you~, but Kazuha, can I know the reason? I already said it yesterday, although your karuta skills are not as strong as those of the top players, it is not a problem to get a good ranking in this Gaoyue meeting, and your karuta club of Kaikata High School will not be disbanded because of this."

Hattori Jinghua wanted to know the specific reason, but Kazuha raised her little face, hesitated for a moment, and shook her head, but her face became slightly red, which made Hattori Jinghua more convinced of her guesses.

She sighed softly, knowing that Kazuha was probably completely in love with Shimizu Koji. Unless Shimizu Koji himself rejected Kazuha, it would be difficult for others to intervene.

If it wasn't Shimizu Koji, she really didn't want to give up. Kazuha grew up under her watch. She also liked this kind-hearted and lovely girl from the bottom of her heart, and even regarded her as half her daughter.

Unfortunately, it was Shimizu Koji, and Heiji made mistakes again and again.

"In this case, let's practice for an hour first. We still have to eat lunch."

Kazuha's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he nodded heavily, "Yeah."

She looked cute and lovely, and a little distressed. Shimizu Koji wanted to say something, but he gave up when the words came to his lips.

No matter what kind of agreement Kazuha and Hongye reached, he was undoubtedly the final beneficiary. He could only hope that the two of them would not fight each other.

Thinking back to Hongye, Shimizu Koji was relieved. Although Hongye was often irrational when facing him, she should be the best young lady that Shimizu Koji had ever seen in terms of her ability to handle other things.

"However, if we come together like this, the kitchen task will be handed over to Xiaolan and Koji. I'm really sorry."

"Oh, no, it's okay, I can do it." Xiaolan waved her hands repeatedly. It was just preparing lunch, which was a trivial matter for her.

"I have no problem either, Xiaoai will help."

Shimizu Koji took Xiaoai by the hand and smiled and agreed.

Seeing this, Hattori Shizuka no longer had any worries. She nodded to Heye, and walked slowly, stepping on indoor wooden clogs, and took Heye to the practice room yesterday.

After a while, there were only three people left in the hall: Shimizu Koji, Huihara Ai and Xiaolan.

"Ah-"

For some reason, Xiaolan suddenly sighed. When Shimizu Koji looked over, he found that she was also looking at him with complicated eyes.

Ai Huihara also noticed this situation. She was a little confused, but not worried, because this was Xiaolan, not someone else.

"Shimizu-kun, Kazuha must have done this for you." Xiaolan suddenly said faintly.

Shimizu Koji was stunned for a moment, but he was not panicked, "Why do you say that, Xiaolan?"

"Kazuha will only be so motivated when facing someone she likes. If it was really for that karuta club, she would not have asked me to practice with her after returning to the hotel last night after getting the affirmation of Aunt Hattori."

Ran looked a little unnatural, because in her eyes, the childhood sweetheart relationship between Hattori Heiji and Kazuha was only a few steps away from being lovers.

But after meeting Shimizu Koji, everything changed quietly.

But Ran was not blaming Shimizu Koji, because Shimizu Koji never actively pursued Kazuha from beginning to end.

As for Kazuha, if she put herself in his shoes, Ran could understand. One was a prince charming who saved her from danger twice, just like the drama performance at their school festival, and the other was a childhood sweetheart detective boy who had nothing else in his heart except the case.

Comparing the two, any girl would probably choose the former.

There was just one thing that Ran was quite dissatisfied with, that is, Shimizu Koji was a playboy!

Ran was very sure that Kazuha definitely didn't know this, but she knew it clearly, whether it was Senior Sister Sumei, Miss Hongye, or other girlfriends of Shimizu Koji that she didn't know.
