Great Swordsman Ke Xue.

Chapter 583: Tit for tat and Kendo Tournament

The idiom "one should be careful before attacking a rat" is very appropriate to describe Hattori Shizuka's current mood.

Hattori Shizuka's expression kept changing, and if it happened to an ordinary person, such a change in expression might make people think that she had bad intentions, but when it happened to a lady as elegant, dignified and beautiful as Hattori Shizuka, it would only make people think that she was thoughtful and intelligent.

Logically speaking, Hattori Shizuka should be furious and expose Shimizu Koji's shameless side in front of Kazuha, but for some reason, when Hattori Shizuka looked at Shimizu Koji's somewhat "ruffian" eyes, she suddenly felt relieved.

As smart as she was, it didn't take her long to guess that Shimizu Koji was just joking, because judging from the look on Kazuha's face, if Shimizu Koji really wanted to do something, he would have succeeded long ago.

Hattori Shizuka thought of how Kazuha had just behaved, which was different from her usual gentle and obedient appearance. If Shimizu Koji really had bad intentions and wanted to bully her, it would probably be of no avail even if she exposed him in person.

A girl in love will not believe her one-sided words.

She sighed inwardly, but had already given up the idea of ​​making a fuss about these things. But at the same time, she had also made up her mind to go back and find Michiko Tetsu to get to know Shimizu Koji better.

Oh, no—it seems there’s no need to look back.

You can do it now.
Suddenly, Hattori Shizuka remembered an invitation she received two days ago. Originally, because of Kazuha's experience and visit today, she had planned to not refuse it, but now it seems that this is a good opportunity.

"Aunt Jinghua? Are you still busy?"

On the other side, Kazuha suddenly opened the door and asked, interrupting Hattori Shizuka's thoughts.

"Well, are you ready? I'll be right there." Hattori Shizuka responded casually and stood up from the coffee table.

She looked deeply at Shimizu Koji, as if she wanted to remember deeply this handsome face of Shimizu Koji, which in her eyes seemed a little childish.

"I can ignore your business, but after all, He Ye is my child who grew up under my care. I still don't feel comfortable leaving her to a stranger I don't know."

"Tonight, I want to talk to you, Koji-kun, again."

"That's no problem. I'm happy to accompany you."

Koji Shimizu was a little surprised, but still nodded. Although Hattori Shizuka's move gave him a feeling of much ado about nothing, the other party seemed to have another trick up his sleeve, so there was no reason for him not to accept it.

It is easy to understand why there is much ado about nothing. The relationship between Kazuha and Shizuka Hattori is just that they watched each other grow up. Hattori Heiji has never dated Kazuha, and Shizuka Hattori has no reason to interfere in their affairs.

However, considering that she is the elder and knows Michiko Tetsu, Koji Shimizu is still willing to give her face.

After getting his nod, Hattori Shizuka didn't say anything more. She turned around and returned to Kazuha and Xiaolan's room to teach them karuta.

In the living room, only Shimizu Koji and Haibara Ai were left.

"You really are shameless."

Huibara Ai complained in a low voice.

Shimizu Koji didn't care at all. Instead, he grinned at her and stuck out his tongue, "You know best about Wu Bu Wu Chi~."

Suddenly, Haibara Ai's face turned red. Although she had tried almost all the game modes, she was still unable to resist the sudden teasing of Shimizu Koji.

There was also no way to deal with Shimizu Koji, so Haibara Ai simply changed the subject, "What do you think she wants to do with you?"

Of course, she was referring to Hattori Shizuka, and Haibara Ai was of course very curious about this.

In fact, considering Shimizu Koji's bad deeds and the criminal record she vaguely discovered, it was hard for her not to suspect that Shimizu Koji would cause her a lot of trouble again.
Because he gradually relaxed, Shimizu Koji often stopped hiding things. It was not difficult for Haibara Ai to discover from some clues that there was an unusual connection between someone and a certain lady.

Although that guess surprised Haibara Ai for a while, through her observation, she found that the possibility was indeed very high.

Because sometimes the look in the eyes of the lady at home is exactly the same as the look she gives to Shimizu Koji.
In fact, Koji Shimizu was also a little curious about what Shizuka Hattori was planning to do. If they just wanted to chat, there was no need to wait until the evening, right?

In fact, when Kazuha was practicing karuta, of course, he invited Shimizu Koji and Haibara Ai to come in and watch, but neither of them was very interested, because in the tatami room, you have to kneel down, which is fine if it's just for a while, but Haibara Ai can't stand it for a long time, so she simply declined. But now there are only two of them outside, and they are in someone else's house, Shimizu Koji and Haibara Ai feel a little uncomfortable, because now, Shimizu Koji can only play with Haibara Ai's little feet, but at most he can pick them up and touch them, and can't do anything else.

Fortunately, they didn't have to wait too long. After more than an hour, He Ye's special training was temporarily over and the main training was postponed to tomorrow. Although He Ye felt a little unsatisfied, she also knew that everyone had their own things to do, so she didn't practice more.

Kazuha and Xiaolan took Haibara Ai back to the hotel, while Shimizu Koji parted ways with the others on the pretext of investigating a case, and then returned to the door of Hattori's house alone more than ten minutes later.

Just like before, he rang the doorbell, and then the elegant lady Mrs. Jinghua led him into the yard.

However, this time she did not let Koji Shimizu into the house. Although she was not afraid that Koji Shimizu would suddenly have any bad intentions, it would have an impact if someone saw her.

Hattori Shizuka was thoughtful and had changed her clothes early. After a brief chat in the yard, she took her bag from the entrance and left with Shimizu Koji.

Hattori Shizuka changed into a casual yet decent gray and white long dress and put on a pair of light-colored sunglasses. It was already past six in the afternoon, the sun was about to set, and the sky was gradually getting darker. Shimizu Koji and her were walking side by side on the street. If you didn't look carefully, you would probably mistake them for a young couple.

And if he had not been told the purpose of this trip, even Shimizu Koji might have suspected that Mrs. Hattori was planning to go to a youth hostel with him to do something unspeakable like the young ladies in Japanese dramas.
After all, that is also a way to gain in-depth understanding.

I have to say that Koji Shimizu has come to his senses, or you can say that he has become dirty~.

Yes, after all, Haibara Ai now buys some comics to study at home, and Shimizu Koji often reads them with her, so how could she not be affected?

The purpose of their trip was actually to attend a special celebration held at the Osaka State Guest House - the 60th Anniversary Celebration of the Osaka Kendo Association.

It is also for this reason that Koji Shimizu roughly guessed the reason why Hattori Shizuka and Michiko Tetsu knew each other and had contact.

"I never knew Ms. Ikenami was such a kendo expert."

"Oh, what? Do you want to try a few moves with me?" Like a beautiful urban girl, the slightly proud snow-white swan neck and the sunglasses covering her face made Hattori Shizuka look a little young and competitive.

"No, I'm afraid you can't bear it, Ms. Ikebo."

Shimizu Koji laughed, his words sounded a bit ambiguous, and Hattori Shizuka also frowned obviously.

But his image is already very bad, so he doesn’t care if it gets worse.

"You little brat." Hattori Shizuka's eyes twitched twice. As an older woman, she certainly wouldn't feel shy or anything because of such ambiguous words.

She was rarely angry, but she had no intention of continuing to argue with Shimizu Koji, because she could see that this guy Shimizu Koji was deliberately blocking her.

Moreover, whether it was Kazuha or Michiko Tetsu, she was still willing to believe in their vision. Shimizu Koji was just irritated by her initial attitude.

Haha, you are still a child after all~~.

Hattori Shizuka thought silently in her heart.

However, although Shimizu Koji's way of chatting was very rude, Hattori Shizuka still subconsciously felt somewhat comfortable. This was a feeling of youth that she had not experienced for a long time, and she was not treated as an elder.

"By the way, what is Ms. Ikenami's intention in bringing me to this memorial meeting?"

"You'll know when it arrives."

"Are you looking for someone to teach me a lesson?!"

"Haha, that's not necessary. If I just want to teach you a lesson, I alone am enough."

"I don't like women who brag."

Hattori Shizuka: My fist is hard.
