Rebirth from Conan

Chapter 106 Who is the king of kendo?
Eight in the morning.

After taking the statement, Xia He bought some breakfast and brought it to Dr. Agasa's house.

Because it was the weekend and the school was on holiday, Haibara Ai stayed at home the whole time.

Up to this moment, only thirteen hours had passed since Xia He went to the Hunhuang Villa.

"Which store is this from?" Haibara Ai asked as she scooped up the miso soup with a spoon and put it into her mouth.

"It's the one near the intersection. What's wrong? Is it not to your taste?" Xia He asked after taking a bite of the egg custard.

"It's quite appetizing, but not as delicious as what you cooked." Huibara Ai said expressionlessly.

Upon hearing this, Ma Chengshi also agreed, "I still prefer the thing you made last time... the pancake."

"I'll do it for you tomorrow morning. I didn't sleep all night. I just got home and haven't had time to wash up." Xia He said.

"Yeah." Ma Chengshi nodded.

After a while, the three of them finished breakfast with Dr. Agasa and Kinoshita, and then went to Xia He's house.

Haibara Ai and Masashi watched a movie in the living room, while Xia He went back to his room to catch up on his sleep.

About five hours later.

One thirty in the afternoon.

Xia He woke up feeling full of energy.

But before he could sit up from the bed, he saw Conan standing at the door of the room, staring at him.

His eyes were full of bloodshot, like a zombie, causing Xia He, who had never believed in ghosts and gods but only in systems, to shiver all over.

"What are you doing?"

"I...had just fallen asleep for less than two hours when I was woken up by that guy Hattori." Conan said in a very resentful tone.

"So?" Xia He blinked, "What did he say?"

"He told us to go to the Naniwa Central Gymnasium in Osaka next Saturday to watch his kendo competition."

"Kendo competition?"

Xia He recalled for a while and then remembered that Hattori Heiji had been practicing kendo since he was a child.

"Go ahead, but I don't quite understand. Why did you come to my place instead of going to sleep after answering his harassing phone call?"

"Ah."

Hearing this, Conan sneered.

It would have been fine if Xia He didn't mention it, but as soon as he mentioned it, he got extremely angry.

He was planning to go back to sleep, but this time, less than half an hour after he lay down, Officer Takagi from the Metropolitan Police Department called him and said that there were a few details in the transcript that were unclear and he wanted to verify them with him again...

"So, when you went to take the statement, why did you leave my phone number with Officer Takagi?" Conan narrowed his eyes and looked at Xia He.

"Ha, I've noticed that you've liked taking statements since you were young. What's more, you were also at the scene at that time. What's wrong with helping to add some details?" Xia He spread his hands, with an expression that said, "What can you do to me?"

As for his own cell phone...it had been turned off before he lay down.

Conan: "."

"Remember to be more careful when you sleep during the day in the future."

Xia He walked forward and patted Conan's shoulders twice. "But as compensation, you can eat the Chinese food I cooked myself later. What do you think?"

"Gulu!"

The sound of swallowing saliva was heard immediately. "Hmph."

Conan snorted coldly at first, then turned around and walked into the living room, sat on the sofa, and began to wait obediently.

……

A week later.

Hirota Nakatsuru drove a six-seater Maxima, carrying Kogoro Mori, Ran, Conan, and Natsuwa, and drove to Osaka.

Sonoko originally wanted to come along, but a relative of hers had a birthday, and her parents insisted on taking her to the birthday party, so she had to miss the trip to Osaka.

"I have booked a five-star hotel near the stadium. We can go there to rest and have lunch first, and then enter the venue for the final..." Xia He said, looking at the time on his watch.

"Are you so sure that Hattori...ahem, Heiji-nii can make it to the finals?" Conan asked.

Xia He spread his hands when he heard that. "What else? You can't even get into the finals, and you still have the nerve to invite us to watch the game?"

"Indeed." Maori Kogoro echoed from the back seat, "If I can't even make it to the finals, wouldn't it be embarrassing? Back then, I was the ace player of our university's judo club..."

"Dad, I remember you didn't even participate in the competition at that time?" Xiaolan began to dismantle the stage.

"I was stage fright. Do you understand what stage fright is? The one who won the championship at that time, Nakamichi Kazushi, had never been able to beat me. If I hadn't given up the game, how could he have won the championship so easily?" Kogoro Mouri immediately began to argue.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, he immediately remembered that some time ago, Nakamichi Kazushi had been arrested and imprisoned for killing another classmate of his, Horikoshi Yumi.

He couldn't help but recall his experiences during this period, and suddenly he had a feeling that he might have been possessed by the god of misfortune.

"When we get to the hotel later, is there going to be another murder?" he muttered softly.

After hearing this, Xia He couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth, thinking: You finally realized something?
However, if I remember correctly, the murder will not take place in the hotel, but in the gymnasium.

But Xia He's purpose of going to Osaka this time was not to solve the case.

It's not even for watching Hattori Heiji's match.

But for...

[Unlock mission: Who is the king of kendo? ]

[Quest content: Defeat Hattori Heiji and Okita Souji in a kendo duel to obtain a talent]

[Task progress: Hattori Heiji (not challenged), Okita Souji (not challenged)]

There is no doubt that Xia He, who possesses the talent of [Kendo Prodigy], has already mastered all the skills of Kendo when he was still young.

Not only did he win the Kanto Kendo Championship, he also later combined Japanese Kendo with a variety of other fighting techniques to create a swordsmanship that was unique to him.

But now, since I want to challenge someone, I must follow the original rules.

"Even if we follow the most formal kendo competition rules, I think those two people probably won't be my opponents..."

Xia He thought to himself.

After all, he has the cheats to rely on, so he still has some confidence.

Similarly, he had already made a plan. After the game was over, he would go straight to the lounge of Kyoto Izumishin High School and challenge Okita Souji to a match.

I believe that with that guy's arrogance, there is no reason for him to reject me.

As for Hattori Heiji...

That kid had already suffered a setback from Xia He in terms of reasoning, and he had probably been thinking about getting his revenge somewhere else.
