Great Swordsman Ke Xue

The next day, Osaka Satsuki Hotel.

Satsuki Hotel is a unique brand hotel in Osaka. The headquarters of Satsuki Hotel, built by the Wakagawa River, is so large and magnificent that it is not inferior to those large-scale multinational luxury hotels, such as Ritz-Carlton, W Osaka, and InterContinental Osaka.

The interior of the hotel is so spacious that it can even be regarded as a shopping mall. In fact, it is almost the same. The lower five floors of the hotel are almost all commercial shops, and major luxury brand stores are gathered together. Of course, they are strictly distinguished from the check-in area, otherwise it is not a hotel that should disturb the guests.

And here, the popularity today is much higher than usual. There is no other reason, just because the annual Satsuki Cup is about to be held. As a subsidiary of Satsuki Club, Satsuki Hotel has naturally become an exclusive hotel for entertaining tourists and players.

Hattori Shizuka brought Kazuha and Xiaolan to the hotel after breakfast today to complete the final registration confirmation. Then, Kazuha, as a contestant, will take the bus to the Satsuki Club headquarters at noon to compete at the real competition venue.

The final will be held this evening at the Satsuki Hall on the Waka River, which is open once a year.

The entire competition will be broadcast live exclusively by Nichimi TV, but since Satsuki Hall is just a wooden house built on the edge of a cliff waterfall and its special nature for the Satsuki Association, no one else can enter except the two finalists and the chanter Achiwa. During the final, the live broadcast will be changed to a rebroadcast through remote camera technology.

"Strange, why haven't Conan and his father come yet?"

"Yeah, why didn't Koji come?"

Hattori Shizuka looked at Kazuha and Xiaolan who were talking and looking around, frowned slightly, took out her phone and checked the time, "I'm afraid they won't be able to make it, but they should also be able to watch the game at the stadium outside the venue by then."

"Kazuha, do you remember what I taught you yesterday?"

Hearing this, Kazuha raised her little face, revealing a pair of big eyes with dark eye bags but bright eyes, "I'm ready! I will definitely win this game!"

"Yohohoho——, where did this panda girl come from~, you look so cute, but if you don't take a rest in time, I'm worried that you won't be able to make it to the finals."

Kazuha and Xiaolan turned their heads instantly, and Hattori Shizuka's face changed slightly. Looking over, she saw Ooka Hongye, who was also wearing an elegant kimono, accompanied by Iori Muga, looking at them.

Of course, Shizuka Hattori didn't know Ooka Hongye, but she knew that this was the young lady who made an appointment with Kazuha. Although she had stopped playing karuta a long time ago, she still paid attention to it. She knew Ooka Hongye, the popular karuta queen and the player who had the most hope of winning the Satsuki Cup.

However, now they can only be enemies. Shizuka Hattori took a step forward and stood in front of Kazuha, saying coldly: "If you just come to laugh at your opponent, this is not the demeanor of a king."

Ooka Hongye restrained her smile and looked over. Shizuka Hattori was also wearing a kimono, but her face was also very young. She thought that this was also a player who came to participate in the competition.

But now she recognized him, calmed down, and bowed gracefully, "So Miss Kazuha invited the former queen of karuta, Ms. Hattori, to come for special training. It seems that I underestimated her."

Hattori Shizuka looked much better. At least Ooka Hongye still respected her, but she also vaguely felt something wrong at this moment. Ooka Hongye's hostility towards Kazuha didn't seem so strong.

But Hattori Shizuka naturally couldn't get involved in such things. She just nodded politely and at a distance, "Ms. Hongye seems to have won, but I believe that Kazuha will definitely give you a surprise today."

"Right, Kazuha?"

Kazuha's eyes were determined. She would not lose the battle even if she lost the battle. She would definitely not lose in momentum at this moment, "Ms. Hongye, just wait and see!"

Seeing this, Ooka Hongye couldn't help but laugh at Kazuha's enthusiasm or stupidity. She stretched out her hand to cover it, but it was still too obvious.

She didn't mean to laugh, but it looked like she was laughing.

"Sorry, Miss Kazuha, I'll wait and see."

"Iori, go give this dress to Koji-kun, and then we'll go to the venue."

"Koji-kun?!" Kazuha and Xiaolan couldn't help but widen their eyes. Ooka Hongye smiled faintly, but didn't explain much.

Although it was an accidental encounter, she came here to apply eye drops to Kazuha~, and although she had promised Shimizu Koji that she would be his wings together, it didn't affect Hongye's showing off her prestige and demeanor to the loser before winning.

"Hey, Koji is with you?!"

Kazuha saw Ooka Hongye turning around to leave, and couldn't help asking, but she felt something was wrong after she finished speaking, and quickly changed her words: "No, you met Koji, and then entangled with him, right!?"

Ooka Hongye raised her eyebrows when she heard the words, and she turned around again. Kazuha only felt a huge momentum coming at her, but she was not afraid of Ooka Hongye's identity as a lady at all, and looked at her with a firm look.

Although Ooka Momiji was a little angry when she heard what Kazuha said, she still held back and did not tell the truth, because if she did so, the little girl named Kazuha would be desperate, and Shimizu Koji would really be unhappy.

"Yes, you are right. I accidentally met Mr. Hao Er just now. I tailor-made clothes for him and bought two pieces of clothes. Why, do you want to stop this? What qualifications do you have to stop it?!"

Hiss——, Xiaolan's expression on the side changed again and again. As a girl, she was the one who could most feel the horror of the confrontation between Heye and Hongye.

However, Kazuha showed no timidity at all when facing Ooka Momiji's sharp rhetorical question, "Humph, of course I won't stop you. On the contrary, I also want to thank you. Thank you for buying the clothes for Koji!"

Ooka Hongye's face changed slightly. She actually had no experience in fighting. The two of them were fighting based on instinct, so there was no talk of swords and swords, it was just a pure collision of real fire.

"Alright Kazuha, Miss Hongye, let's end the quarrel here. Katai, I still need my subordinates to see Shinaki."

Fortunately, Hattori Shizuka couldn't stand it anymore. Although she didn't know why Shimizu Koji and Ooka Momiji were still closely connected, if they were allowed to continue to quarrel, they might be watched.

However, even though she said that, in fact, after seeing Momiji, Hattori Shizuka, who originally still had some confidence in Kazuha, has now begun to regret and prepare words of comfort for Kazuha in advance.
