Stay away from Conan

Looking at the courtyard outside the stadium corridor, he saw that the sound of swiping a knife just now did not come from Hattori Heiji, and the person in front of him was not Hattori Heiji, so Kazuha subconsciously apologized hurriedly and prepared to leave, but——

"But the sound you made when you waved just now is very nice!"

The girl with short dark hair and a high ponytail, after apologizing and about to say goodbye, suddenly put her hand on the doorway leading to the courtyard from the corridor, paused, looked back, raised her head slightly, and her face The bright smile facing the shining sunshine seemed to be magical, giving the young man who was practicing Iai an inexplicable courage, and he was involuntarily attracted to the girl in front of him——

"You...are you talking about the sound of a knife being swung?"

Somewhat dull, the young man asked with a slight daze.

"yes."

When the bright girl heard the young man's question, she smiled and continued naturally:

"It should be called 'Tongming', right? If the pitch is high, it means that the sword is wielded well and looks very handsome!"

At the end of the sentence, the girl who was about to leave cast an encouraging look at the young man, and with that sunny smile, she disappeared behind the door frame in the clear morning sunshine, which made the young man seem to be distressed and waved. The young man with the sword felt a bit enlightened——

Unfortunately, the girl has already walked away.

——"However, the sound of Heiji swinging his sword sounds better."

Kazuya, who turned around and walked through the door frame to leave, was reminded of something because he heard the sound of the sword swing just now. He thought like this, and then said to Conan who was following him:

"Conan, let's go."

"Um."

Conan responded and continued running after He Ye.

At the same time, at the official arena, the game had come to an end. Okita Souji, who had successfully competed in the finals, faced his last opponent. After only two or three attempts at fighting, he was relaxed. With one quick thrust, he successfully scored the last point and won the game——

Such a fun and exciting competition caused bursts of carnival among the audience. However, as a contestant, Okita Souji, this was just a small test. Such a final opponent could not even make himself serious. Yeah, it's really boring.

"It's boring, it's boring. I can't get excited about the competition without Hattori."

After returning to the side of the field to rest and take off his protective gear, Okita Souji kept mumbling these words. He was extremely disappointed with today's game, but his teammates who were also from Quanxin High School around him had smiles on their faces. , they were very happy that Okita Souji directly won the championship in today's individual competition.

Just like that, Okita Souji, who had already taken off his protective gear, suddenly saw Kazuha and Conan who were coming out from the back of the venue and were about to leave because they couldn't find any trace of Hattori Heiji.

Although Okita Souji didn't know Conan, as a person who would be with his great rival Hattori Heiji in almost every game, Okita Souji recognized him at a glance, so after he saw Kazuha, he immediately He got up anxiously, chased after him, and stopped Kazuo inside the venue——

"You're here just in time, Kazuya!"

"Um?"

In this way, when he heard someone calling his name, Kazuye couldn't help but stop and turned around to look. He saw Hattori Heiji's great rival Okita Souji, which made Kazuye a little strange.

I saw Souji Okita coming over and couldn't help but ask:

"It seems that Hattori guy didn't come to the game."

"I don't know where they have been since last night."

Seeing that the other party was asking about Hattori Heiji's situation, Kazuha folded his hands in front of him helplessly, and couldn't help but sigh:

"My friends and I are also looking for him everywhere."

"Huh? Is it possible that that guy is not going to participate in tomorrow's team battle?"

Hearing this, Souji Okita asked worriedly.

"This...even if you ask me, I don't know..."

Somewhat dejectedly, He Ye sighed.

However, while Kazuye was having such a natural conversation with Okita Souji, Conan, who was originally following Kazuye, now widened his eyes, looking at the man in front of him who also spoke with a Kansai accent and wore a kendo suit. The man in uniform looked extremely shocked——

After all, that face is almost 89% similar to his original self.

In this way, because of Kazuha's answer, Okita Souji, who was looking forward to fighting Hattori Heiji again, felt very regretful. He thought about it with a slightly solemn expression, but the result was like this. Only then did Okita Souji notice that he was following Kazuha. Conan, and the shocked expression of the little boy wearing glasses looking at him——

"Huh? Kid, why are you looking at me like that?"

In this way, following Souji Okita's active inquiry, Conan, who was surprised for a moment, could not help but recover. After all, although the similarity is very high, in reality, there are indeed many differences in many details, such as...

At least in terms of skin color, I am not as dark as him.

In this regard, faced with such a situation, Conan felt a little embarrassed, thought for a while, and finally could only answer:

"Well... because big brother, you look like another big brother I know..."

"Um?"

Hearing this, Souji Okita was slightly confused, and then Kazuha, who was standing aside, seemed to be reminded by Conan, and only then could he realize this——

"Hey, if you put it that way...yes, you and Shinichi look a bit alike!"

After all, I had just met Kudo Shinichi in Kyoto not long ago, and I was deeply impressed by this, Kazuya naturally said with some surprise.

"Shinichi?"

Okita Souji, who didn't care about this name at all and was from Kyoto, was not very familiar with this name, so he asked a little confused.

However, before they could continue chatting, at the competition venue, as the schedule ended, the scheduled competition performances began naturally——

"Just wait."

When the host's voice came from the speakers in the stadium, there were originally a large number of people in this very noisy venue, everyone was chatting about their own affairs, and suddenly they couldn't help but look towards the stage arranged in the venue. go:

"Now, it's a special martial arts performance brought by Fucheng Sheng."

After the host finished his brief introduction, a young man wearing a black kendo uniform with a long sword on his waist walked to the center of the stage and bowed to the people in front of him.

"It's the person just now..."

At this time, seeing the appearance of the other party, Heye immediately recognized this young man as the young man who had just practiced swinging a sword in the courtyard outside the stadium. He did not expect that the other party was actually someone who came to perform in this arena.

In this regard, seeing Kazuye saying this, Souji Okita on the side couldn't help but ask:

"You know him?"

"Well... I just met him once, it doesn't count as acquaintance."

He Ye replied frankly, and then asked:

"Do you know who he is?"

"No."

Spreading his hands, Souji Okita said this, then folded his hands in front of him, and said as if nothing mattered:

"It should be a local kendo master, but I haven't seen him in a competition... maybe, not from the high school group."

Souji Okita guessed this, and then He and Ye were not so anxious and prepared to leave here quickly. Anyway, they didn't lack the time to work hard. Let's watch the other party's performance first. After all, they accidentally bumped into him practicing just now.

So, just like that, as everyone in the venue gathered under the stage, I saw the swordsman, who was known as "Fucheng Sheng" through the introduction of the host, after saluting everyone. , he pulled out the long knife from his waist. At the same time, on the stage in front of him, there were several stakes tied with straw mats, distributed around him——

However, they saw that after Fucheng Sheng pulled out the long knife, he held the handle with one hand and brushed the blade with the other hand. He held the long knife flat in front of him, with a serious expression and a solemn expression, as if he was looking for a feeling. He closed his eyes and calmed down. Then he opened his eyes with a look, then turned to hold the handle of the knife with both hands, and then began to chop the wooden piles made of bamboo mats around him in one go.

Without any hesitation, every single stroke of the knife completely cut off a wooden stake, but in a flash, all the wooden stakes were cut off——

"Oh, that's awesome!"

Seeing this, Conan couldn't help but praise. After all, those things called "test cutting platforms" tied with straw mats were set up to test the sharpness of the blade. Even those who practice swordsmanship seriously may be able to make a sword with a serious intention. It may not be possible to completely cut them off, so being able to successfully cut off these "test cutting platforms" with one smooth and smooth movement like him not only means that the sword in the opponent's hand is good, but also that the opponent's swordsmanship level is not good. said.

"Well, that's great."

In this regard, Heye who was on the side followed Conan's words and said so, but although his tone was admiring, he was not surprised at all. After all, he had seen the other party's practice and admired the other party's sound of wielding a sword. He was able to perform on the stage. This kind of person is obviously not an ordinary person.

"What, are you interested in that person?"

But after listening to what Kazuha said, Okita Souji on the side became a little more interested. He looked at Kazuha with meaningful eyes and asked. It seemed that he was looking at the relationship between Hattori Heiji and Kazuha and deliberately asked this question. One sentence.

So, after hearing this, Heye hurriedly waved his hands to deny:

"No, no, no, I don't have one..."

"Really not?"

Okita Souji continued to ask.

"There really isn't any!"

Kazuya replied somewhat unbearably.

"Okay, then help me bring one to Hattori."

Seeing that He Ye was like this, Souji Okita did not continue to make trouble. After saying this, he suddenly thought of something and asked:

"Oh, by the way, you just said that you still have friends to go to Hattori with you? So, that person's name is Ming..."

——"The one...tied with a pink ribbon..."

At this moment, just when Okita Souji wanted to ask about Gao Yuan, he saw Fucheng, who was performing on the stage just now, walking down the stage. He noticed Kazuha in the audience, so he got off the stage. After the stage, he walked straight towards He Ye and said to He Ye.

In this way, when he heard the voice coming towards him and the fact that the ribbon that tied his high ponytail today was indeed pink, Kazuye couldn't help but turn around and responded with some surprise:

"Why?"

"Thank you very much just now."

Because he was much taller than He Ye, Fucheng Sheng came to He Ye, looked at He Ye with his head slightly lowered and thanked him with a smile.

Hearing this, He Ye couldn't help but be startled. He was a little panicked, thinking that he seemed to have disturbed the other party's practice just now, so he hurriedly bowed and explained:

"Ah, I'm sorry, I seemed to have interrupted your preparations for the martial arts performance just now."

In this way, Fucheng Sheng smiled slightly when the beautiful girl who had left a deep impression on him in the corridor just now was apologizing to him in such a rash manner.

At the same time, Souji Okita, who saw Fuchengsheng's actions and was interrupted to ask, looked a little unhappy at first, but looking at Fuchengsheng's current attitude, Okita Souji seemed to have a taste of what he meant, and the corner of his mouth Can't help but curl up slightly——

"The thought that you might be watching me somewhere makes me even more motivated."

With a gentle tone, Fucheng Sheng said this, which was a response to He Ye's apology.

With such a speech, He Ye, the person involved, couldn't help but look puzzled. Even many girls who were watching on the side looked in this direction, thinking about this handsome guy who just gave a wonderful performance on the stage. When Fucheng Sheng talked to a high school girl like this, he was a little curious about what was going on.

"Um?"

Surprisingly, after hearing what the other party said, Heye straightened his body, subconsciously took a step back and made a confused sound.

Then, Fucheng Sheng continued and began to introduce himself:

"I'm Sei Tomi from Yawatazaka University School of Medicine. How about you?"

Naturally, Fucheng Sheng asked about He Ye's situation.

"I...I am from the high school of Gaifang Academy. My name is Toyama Kazuha."

Seeing such a gentle and polite inquiry from the other party, He Ye also responded to the other party out of etiquette.

"He Ye..."

After hearing He Ye's name, Fucheng Sheng couldn't help but smile and said:

"This name is really nice. Let's get to know it again!"

Saying this, Fucheng Sheng stretched out his right hand and gestured for a handshake.

"Oh, okay..."

Seeing this, Kazuye also extended his hand politely. However, midway through, Souji Okita, who was watching this scene, reached out first, grasped the right hand extended by Fucheng Sheng, and then approached Kazuye. Although he provoked He Ye glanced sideways with a puzzled look on his face, but he still said with a confident smile:

"I'm from Kyoto Senshin High School, and my name is Okita Souji."

In this way, seeing Souji Okita come up to take his hand, Saint Fucheng's expression remained as usual, and he responded to Souji Okita with a smile and said:

"I've heard of you before, you're quite a celebrity in the kendo world."

Just like that, after the two let go of their hands, Souji Okita also continued:

"I'm glad you said that."

"What is the relationship between Okita-san and Kazuha? Are they boyfriends?"

Fucheng Sheng then asked such a question, which inevitably made He Ye startled and confused. He was a little confused, but he still became nervous and panicked.

Souji Okita smiled broadly and said:

"Ah, just ordinary friends."

"That's it."

After hearing this answer, Fucheng Sheng seemed to relax completely, and then continued to say to He Ye:

"I hope we can meet again... then, goodbye."

Saying that, Fucheng Sheng also said goodbye and left, and Heye naturally replied politely "Goodbye" -

In this way, this scene was seen in the eyes of the people around him. As Fucheng Sheng left and met up with his friends and walked a certain distance, among the crowd of onlookers around He Ye, many women formed a small circle of mutual affection. Among those who were whispering, there was a lot of discussion about the conversation between Fucheng Sheng and He Ye just now.

This situation naturally made Kazuye a little unhappy, but he did not explain anything to the passers-by around him. He just folded his hands in front of him, showed an unhappy expression, and said "Ah" in a depressed voice.

And in this situation, looking at Conan who followed Kazuye, Conan could not hold back at this moment. He covered his mouth and suppressed his voice and laughed, while his eyes had ulterior motives——

"This scene... I really want to see Hattori right away and tell him everything, just look at his expression!"

As a result, at this moment, Xiaolan and Sonoko came in from outside the stadium. They first looked around at the inside of the stadium that had been dismissed because of the end of the game. Then they both saw Kazuya's figure. So Xiaolan waved her hands and shouted to Heye:

"He Ye, this way!"

While shouting, Xiaolan and Yuanzi quickly rushed to Kazuya's side.

"This way, Xiaolan, Yuanzi!"

Hearing this, He Ye also responded.

Immediately, as Xiaolan and Yuanzi came to Heye, Yuanzi breathed a little, and Xiaolan said helplessly to Heye:

"I'm sorry, Sonoko and I still haven't found Hattori... Mr. Akechi just contacted me and said he couldn't find it. It seems that he has gone to look elsewhere..."

"Hey, forget it, leave him alone..."

In this way, since the matter has come to this, even if Hattori Heiji is found, today's game is over now, so Kazuha simply gave up and said so, as if Hattori Heiji should continue to investigate the matter about Kaitou Kid.

However, even though it was Hattori Heiji who was talking about this, at this moment, after Kazuha finished speaking, Xiaolan and Sonoko, who had temporarily relaxed, also noticed Okita Souji who was beside Kazuha at the moment. Xiaolan and Sonoko couldn't help but be stunned by Okita Souji's appearance——

"S-Shinichi!"

Seeing Okita Souji's appearance, Sonoko couldn't help but was surprised at first.

Xiaolan, on the other hand, didn't seem to notice Conan's appearance. She was slightly stunned when she saw Okita Souji in disbelief.

In response to this, Okita Souji was a little depressed when he heard that not only Kazuha, but also the two new girls who were familiar with Kazuha called him that. He looked at Sonoko and the others and said angrily:

"My name is Okita Souji, not Shinichi!"

So, when Okita Souji spoke, the Kansai accent appeared, and Sonoko and Xiaolan were both in a trance for a moment, and then they realized that the other party seemed to be not Kudo Shinichi.

At the same time, Xiaolan also noticed Conan's existence, and couldn't help but smiled awkwardly. When she wanted to explain to this boy named Okita Souji, Okita Souji was a little attracted by Xiaolan's appearance, and said in surprise:

"You look so cute! What's your name?"

Soon, as Okita Souji said this, Conan, who was still amused by the matter of Touma Sei just now and had not yet recovered, immediately changed his face and realized that something seemed to be happening.

As for Xiaolan, seeing this boy who called himself "Okita Souji" and looked like Kudo Shinichi asking her this question, Xiaolan felt embarrassed, but still replied politely:

"My name is Maoli Ran..."

"So your name is Xiaolan! What a good name! I live in Kyoto Kamigyo Ward. If you go to Kyoto to play one day, you can tell me and I can take you there!"

Very straightforward, Okita Souji approached Xiaolan like this.

This made Xiaolan very distressed. She could only smile awkwardly and hesitated, not knowing what to say:

"This... um... hello..."

At this time, Conan, who was watching this scene, was even more shocked and stunned on the spot-

Just now, what happened with Heye, I thought you, a guy with a face similar to mine, was a good person!
