"Hmm? Oda Nobunaga's Imperial Tournament? What is that?"
Chapter 469 There are robbers at home!
"It is a kendo tournament that originated in the Warring States Period. It has a history of several hundred years. However, due to various reasons in recent decades, the Oda Nobunaga Imperial Tournament was suspended for a time. Only recently, there was new news."
"In general, it is a special kind of kendo competition - a sword-fighting competition with no rules."
"There are no restrictions on genres, age, gender, or weapons. The most important thing is that there are no restrictions on life and death. Of course, this may change in this competition, but in previous competitions, there were always very bloody and cruel killings."
Michiko Tetsu spoke in a light tone, and after she finished speaking, she took another sip of coffee.
Shimizu Koji thought for a while, then said directly: "So, Madam wants me to participate in this competition? I don't have any problem with it, on the contrary, I prefer this rule. But, what is the purpose of Madam asking me to participate in this competition? It can't be to hone my swordsmanship, right? If that's the case, then I may not be able to spare the time~."
Michiko Tetsu didn't expect that Koji Shimizu would say that, and she couldn't help but feel a little surprised. She glanced at Koji Shimizu's face, smiled slightly, and a hint of helpless doting appeared in her eyes.
"I have nothing to hide from you. Once the Oda Nobunaga Imperial Tournament begins, it will definitely attract powerful kendo masters from all over the world to participate. And that guy will most likely not miss such a grand event."
"So, Koji-kun, do you understand?"
"I understand."
"The preliminaries will be held at the beginning of next month, which is more than half a month away. However, with your current strength, you will definitely have no problem in the preliminaries. But don't take it lightly. In addition, you need to speed up your kendo training."
The way Tetsu Michiko spoke today was as if she was chatting with Shimizu Koji, or in other words, she was giving earnest instructions and gentle encouragement to a junior who was about to face an academic exam, instead of the tense, cold, and naked transaction at the beginning.
Koji Shimizu naturally felt the change in Michiko's attitude. He didn't think about negotiating any conditions. He just nodded and agreed.
"Stay for breakfast. I'll have someone take you back later."
"Um, ma'am, there's no need for breakfast. I have something else to do today. I may need to pick someone up at the airport."
Shimizu Koji smiled awkwardly and quickly refused. His eyes were evasive for once, but fortunately, Michiko Tetsu didn't think much about it and didn't notice it.
"Oh? In that case, then fine. However, if you are free in the next two days, come over here and I will talk to you about some details about the preliminaries later."
Although Michiko Tetsu was talking about the preliminaries, Koji Shimizu still understood what she meant.
Although Tetsu Michiko didn't know the specific progress of him and Tetsu Moriha, it was unlikely that he was innocent since he took on this task. Combined with various previous signs, it was likely that Tetsu Michiko had some intentions in that regard a long time ago.
Shimizu Koji recalled the two times he had come before. When Michiko talked to him about kendo, she would occasionally bring up issues related to the group, economy, and even politics. Not only did she bring them up, she would also patiently explain them to him.
Although he didn't know why Michiko Tetsu fell in love with him at that time, Shimizu Koji never underestimated himself. He could say without exaggeration that if his body were put up for public auction, it would be counted by gram and the price would definitely be far higher than that of gold.
"I know, I will."
"I'll have someone prepare a car for you. I'll go downstairs with you."
Michiko Tetsu said no more. She stood up and walked out of the room with Shimizu Koji.
-
This trip to the Tie family can be said to be full of surprises and gains. Anyway, when Shimizu Koji went there, he was penniless, but when he returned home, he had a luxurious Bentley limousine, a valuable manor villa in Karuizawa, and a wife. Well, he didn't bring his wife.
If I bring it back, my family will probably explode.
Fortunately, the Kudo family's garage was big enough, otherwise Shimizu Koji would have been worried again. After parking the car, Shimizu Koji had the rare urge to stay in the garage and look at the car for a few more times before walking back to the yard.
When he walked to the gate, Koji Shimizu looked at his "home" which he had been away from for a night, and felt a little subtle in his heart. He was homesick, just like a cat that stole food and was worried about being discovered when it returned home.
When he reached the gate, Shimizu Koji probably had a mental breakdown of why he shouldn't go home. Then he felt his pocket and realized that he didn't have his keys with him.
"Ding-dong-"
Then just ring the doorbell, there's no need to hesitate.
Koji Shimizu's smile contained five parts of expectation, three parts of tenderness, and two parts of uneasiness.
But soon, the door opened, and the person who opened the door made Koji Shimizu's eyes widen instantly, with a look of confusion on his face.
"Yes, Yukiko, what's wrong with you?"
Koji Shimizu rarely speaks stutteringly, but when he saw Yukiko's cold face, he subconsciously felt inexplicably nervous, as if the other party had some fatal handle or weakness in his hand.
"What's wrong with me?"
Yukiko blinked, not at all surprised by Shimizu Koji's reaction. Her eyes changed rapidly, but soon, she smiled slightly, as if the ice and snow had melted away, making people feel like spring breeze. The inexplicable coldness just now seemed to have never been there.
"Um, I mean, why did you arrive so early? I was planning to pick you up at the airport."
When Koji Shimizu saw Yukiko smile, he immediately relaxed a little, but Yukiko's smile seemed okay at first glance, but it was always just an arc and a look. If you looked at her a few more times, it felt like a formulaic smile.
"Really? Koji, you are thoughtful, but as you can see, I have already returned, just ten minutes before you went home. I am packing my luggage now, and in twenty minutes, I will go to the hospital to visit Xiaoxin."
"Packing?" Shimizu Koji was a little confused.
Yukiko's smile finally changed. The corners of her mouth rose a little more. Her big eyes were bright and charming, without a trace of impurities or bad intentions.
"Yeah, pack your luggage. I plan to come back and stay for a while, so I helped you pack your luggage, Koji-kun."
"what?"
Shimizu Koji's confusion didn't affect Yukiko at all. She casually lifted her hair and continued to smile, "I have already discussed this matter with Miss Mingmei and Miss Huihara at home. From today on, please ask Koji to stay at the doctor's house next door for a while."
Chapter 470 Haibara Ai vs Yukiko
It was not until Mingmei took down Koji Shimizu's luggage that Koji Shimizu realized that Yukiko was not joking.
It can be said that before Koji Shimizu had time to deal with the suspicion that Haibara Ai was not returning home at night, he was directly kicked out of the house with a confused look on his face.
I don't know when Haibara Ai heard the sound, and then she walked into the hall to watch the show with a leisurely look on her face, holding a milk in one hand and a sandwich in the other.
Her eyes were wide open, and she had no intention of speaking up for Shimizu Koji. After all, Yukiko had already explained it to them.
As the hostess, she is coming back to live permanently for a while, so isn't it normal for her to kick out the strange man in the house? Besides, Koji Shimizu has never paid the rent.
Koji Shimizu held the suitcase and looked left and right. He never thought that he would be treated like this just because he came home late once.
The drama of three women is vividly reflected at this moment.
Koji Shimizu could actually understand Yukiko's behavior, but he just couldn't accept the fact that he was kicked out of the house as soon as he returned home.
"Um, Sister Mingmei, is there any breakfast left?"
"Ah, Koji, you didn't have breakfast. Ai said you must have already eaten."
Upon hearing this, Shimizu Koji immediately looked at Haibara Ai with a fierce look, and Haibara Ai rolled her eyes speechlessly, but in the end, she still took small steps towards her.
"Well, eat it."
Haibara Ai handed over the half-eaten sandwich in her hand, and Shimizu Koji felt no guilt at all for snatching breakfast from an elementary school student, so he took it and took two bites.
Yukiko just watched with a smile on her face, without saying anything, or showing any expression or other reaction, except that her eyes lingered on Haibara Ai for a moment.
There was no room for choice, and Koji Shimizu knew he was in the wrong, so he didn't waste any more time arguing with Yukiko, and finally accepted the result.
As soon as he moved the luggage to Dr. Agasa's house, he came back without stopping and drove to be the full-time driver for Yukiko and Haibara Ai.
As soon as they got in the car, Yukiko fastened her seat belt and urged, "Let's go, get there before nine o'clock. I prepared a loving breakfast for Shin-chan, otherwise it will get cold."
Haibara Ai sat in the back, very quiet and didn't say a word, so Shimizu Koji started the car and got on the road again.
While driving, Koji Shimizu subconsciously glanced at Yukiko.
Although Yukiko, who was sitting in the passenger seat, had delicate makeup, her heavy and gray bags under her eyes could not hide her fatigue.
After all, after receiving a call from Koji Shimizu last night, she immediately asked her friends to help her buy a plane ticket that was about to take off, and rushed back in a hurry.
"Conan is fine now. He had a blood transfusion and surgery yesterday, and the bullet did not cause any infection. The doctor said he can be discharged from the hospital after a few more days of rest."
"Huh? Oh, I know that. I saw the email you sent me."
Yukiko fell silent after she finished speaking. On the one hand, she was tired, and on the other hand, she really didn't want to have too much communication with Shimizu Koji. She had read Shimizu Koji's email but didn't reply, so Shimizu Koji said it again at this moment.
In fact, the situation has come to this point, and with Shimizu Koji's phone call and email last night, Yukiko has already realized something. Shimizu Koji may have already known what happened.
Yes, after all, they were in a hurry at the time, and Shimizu Koji woke up early, there were a lot of flaws and problems, and she ran away overnight. It would be wrong if Shimizu Koji couldn't react afterwards.
Therefore, the atmosphere between the two was in a very subtle and awkward state. Koji Shimizu probably guessed that Yukiko knew that he already knew about this matter. Neither of them wanted to point it out because both of them had heavy concerns in their hearts.
Although Haibara Ai felt that the atmosphere in the back seat was a bit strange, she was not an expert at catching adulterers. Apart from her keen nose, she did not have any special skills. Naturally, it was impossible for her to imagine that Shimizu Koji would have an unclear connection with Yukiko.
And if she knew about this, she would be unable to do anything to Shimizu Koji and could only kick him a few times in anger.
However, Shimizu Koji would not let her know for the time being unless it was necessary.
It's not that he is hiding his fear, but mainly because Shimizu Koji has gradually realized that he should take care of his girlfriend's feelings. People are all made of flesh and blood. The love from his senior, which could be called humble, gave him a great shock last time. And it was not his subjective mistake in the beginning, so why should he let Haibara Ai and others know and make them sad?
"Ms. Yukiko."
"Hmm? What's wrong, Ai-chan?"
Haibara Ai suddenly spoke, attracting the attention of the two people in front.
Yukiko turned her head, still with a gentle smile on her face even though she was tired. This was completely different from her attitude towards Shimizu Koji.
"There is one thing I thought about and I think I need to tell you."
"Xiao Ai, you don't have to be so polite. Just call me sister."
Huihara Ai paused, looked at the kindness and gentleness in Yukiko's eyes, nodded gently, and continued: "Yesterday in the hospital, regarding Kudo's blood transfusion and emergency treatment, Miss Xiaolan showed a lot of abnormal behavior. Although it is a bit presumptuous to say this, Kudo really likes this Miss Xiaolan, and he usually likes to show off. In addition, the two of them grew up together. Childhood sweethearts, so now I suspect that Miss Xiaolan may have guessed Conan's true identity through some flaws and clues."
Yukiko was stunned when she heard this. Of course, she knew Haibara Ai's identity, but she didn't expect that Haibara Ai's observation would be so meticulous and her attitude would be so calm.
"Xiaolan, do you know Xiaoxin's identity——?"
Yukiko repeated herself in a murmur, seemingly still a little overwhelmed and not realizing the seriousness of the problem.
Seeing this, Huiyuan Ai also continued to add calmly: "Of course, an adult turning into a child is ultimately a fantasy story. Miss Xiaolan should not have confirmed it completely yet."
"I escaped from that organization, so I can say responsibly that if the news that Kudo Shinichi is still alive leaks out, then all the people related to him will be secretly investigated by the organization. By then, Miss Xiaolan will probably have no room to hide the truth from the organization."
Haibara Ai's words still carried a lot of weight. Yukiko was silent for a while, and her expression gradually became serious.
"So, what do you want me to do?"
"Kudou asked me for an antidote last time. He plans to use it at the school celebration in a few days. At that time, I will attend the party disguised as Conan and Koji at his request. So, the first thing I need is for you to help me disguise myself and put on makeup."
"Then, what about the second one?" Yukiko blinked, very curious.
In front of the Teitan princess, little Haibara Ai was still very imposing and queen-like. "The second thing is that I need you, the mother, to come forward and tell him personally about the seriousness of the matter, so that he will give up admitting to Xiaolan that Conan is Kudo Shinichi."
"Uh, Shin-chan wouldn't be so irrational."
Yukiko subconsciously wanted to defend Conan, but within a few seconds, she was defeated by Haibara Ai's calm gaze.
"Okay, I'll have a good chat with him."
Chapter 471 Xiao Ke discovered something wrong
Mihua Municipal Hospital.
There were figures walking in the corridor on the fifth floor of the hospital's inpatient department. Because this was the VIP area, only a few patients lived here, and Conan was honored to be sent here after the operation.
Xiaolan stayed to accompany the patient last night, so naturally she would not have nowhere to stay like in an ordinary ward, lying on the edge of the bed for the night. There was a special accompanying bed in the ward, which was no worse than the beds in high-end hotels except that it was a little smaller.
When Shimizu Hiroji and the other two arrived, Xiaolan was still busy making the bed.
At the door of the ward, Koji Shimizu glanced at Xiaolan in the ward, then glanced sideways at Yukiko beside him. Although he didn't really want to do this, he still reached out to stop Yukiko.
"Wait a minute, Yukiko, have you thought about what to say?"
"Hmm? What do you mean?"
"You don't have any 'legitimate' reason to come and visit Conan now." Shimizu Koji was very thoughtful.
But Yukiko didn't understand. "Why is there no reason? Even if I can't recognize Shin-chan publicly, he is still the grandson of my grandfather's brother's daughter's cousin's uncle!"
Koji Shimizu's arm, which was stretched in the air, froze a little.
No, you can remember all this! ?
"Um, okay, sorry, it's my problem."
Koji Shimizu withdrew his arm and knocked on the door. Xiaolan, who was inside, heard the sound and leaned over. She saw the three of them, led by Yukiko, at a glance.
"Hey, yes, Aunt Yukiko! Are you here to visit Shin--, Conan?"
