Ke Xue: He mastered the steel-cutting divine skill at the start.

The Suzuki family might be a great partner!

After walking for a while, Sonoko parted ways with the three of them and headed towards her home, leaving only the three of them alone.

"Miyazaki-kun, your dojo is in another direction, right? We should go our separate ways now."

Shinichi Kudo felt increasingly annoyed seeing Miyazaki Yu always walking with Ran.

Is this guy really going to follow her? Does he really have feelings for Xiaolan...?

Just thinking about these things makes me angry.

"Shinichi, you don't know yet, Yu has moved! He's moved next door to me, and my mom arranged it! Now we're neighbors!"

"what?"

When Shinichi Kudo heard this, he felt as if he had been struck by lightning.

This guy actually moved next door to Xiaolan's house without anyone noticing! It's outrageous!

Seeing the guy's surprised look, Miyazaki Yu felt as refreshed as drinking ice-cold soda on a sweltering summer day. Opportunities to make a famous detective suffer are rare.

"I bought a lot of groceries yesterday. I'll cook a few more dishes tonight. Ran and Kudo, come on over."

Xiao Lan's eyes lit up. She knew the other person's skills. After eating there a few times, she couldn't forget it, especially the other person's exquisite knife skills, which made the vegetables look like works of art.

"Great! You're treating this time. Next time, come to my house and try my cooking. Shinichi, you should come too! Miyazaki's cooking skills are just as good as those of top chefs. You haven't tried it yet!"

Shinichi Kudo couldn't take it anymore, so he made up an excuse and stormed off.

Chapter Twenty-Six: Kudo Yusaku's Attention

2-21 Hanamachi, this is Shinichi Kudo's house.

"Shinichi, go wash your hands, dinner's ready!" Yukiko Kudo's voice rang out.

In fact, Yusaku Kudo and his wife moved to Miritate when Shinichi Kudo was in his third year of junior high school, but they would still come back to stay for a while from time to time.

After all, his son, Shinichi Kudo, is still in Japan.

"Okay, okay, you're getting more and more long-winded."

Shinichi Kudo agreed and went to change his clothes.

Yukiko pursed her lips and said angrily, "Honey, don't you do anything about your son? He's getting more and more outrageous. I'm a famous actress, and I'm willing to cook for him, but he still ignores me!"

Kudo Yusaku, who was reading a newspaper, looked up, and a glint of light flashed on his glasses.

"Haven't you noticed yet? Shinichi seems to be troubled, and it's probably related to Ran."

"Why?".

A gossipy glint flashed in Yukiko's eyes; a woman's interest in matters of the heart was instantly piqued.

"Shinichi is so oblivious to romance. He still hasn't defined his relationship with Ran. Could it be that another boy is pursuing Ran?"

Yusaku Kudo put down the newspaper.

"Xinyi returned half an hour later than usual today, but there was no sign on him that he had been to other places, which is quite interesting."

After changing his clothes, Shinichi Kudo sat down to eat, but his sour expression was obvious to anyone.

"Shinichi, is there another boy pursuing Ran? And a really outstanding one at that, right?"

Shinichi Kudo, who was trying to appear serious, suddenly spat out the food in his mouth.

"What are you doing? There's nothing like that. Don't make wild guesses with your dad!"

He couldn't help but grin as he looked at the two of them.

"It's just that a really amazing guy has appeared at school, and now he's moved next door to Xiaolan, which makes me a little uncomfortable."

Yukiko reacted quickly and immediately grasped the adjective in her son's words.

"This guy is really something, and he moved next door to Xiaolan? You rarely use 'someone' to describe others, so it seems your classmate is quite remarkable."

Kudo Yusaku also became somewhat interested.

"What did he do to make you think this way about him?"

Shinichi Kudo then recounted what he had seen and heard that day.

After hearing his words, Kudo Yusaku also pondered for a moment.

"So that's how it is. It's that boy who was seriously injured and unconscious. Back then, it was Eri Kisaki who handled his affairs. Now he's moved next door to Ran's house. It seems that was Eri Kisaki's arrangement."

Yukiko, on the other hand, felt some sympathy for Miyazaki Hajime.

"This child is really pitiful. He lost both parents at a young age and inherited the dojo on his own. He was even threatened by gangsters and almost lost his life after the conflict. But I didn't expect this boy to be so outstanding. He was in a coma for more than a year, but he not only did not fall behind in his studies, but his kendo skills also reached this level. It's really rare."

"It's not just a rare sight. To cut an opponent's bamboo sword with a bamboo sword, that is, to cut a blunt weapon with a blunt weapon, this boy's mastery of strength has reached an astonishing level. Legend has it that those world-renowned ancient swordsmen could cut off the enemy's head with a wooden sword, or even cut through steel with a wooden sword. This kind of technique is called steel-cutting!"

Yukiko was a little confused. She had just been talking about the boy's experience, so why did her tone suddenly become so serious?

Looking at his wife's blank expression, he knew she didn't understand what he meant.

"What I mean is that this boy's control over his power has reached a level that is difficult for ordinary people to achieve. Maybe our Beika Town is about to produce a swordsman."

That being said, Kudo Yuuchi, with the sensitivity of a detective novelist, was left with a deep impression of the boy.

A genius who possesses immense power is also a potential danger.

They're fine when they follow the rules, but once they go astray, they'll be a huge threat.

However, it seems that this boy has won Eri Kisaki's favor, and she even arranged for him to live next door to Ran's house. Could it be that Eri Kisaki intends to match Ran and this boy up?

Looking at Shinichi, who was engrossed in eating, I couldn't help but feel a headache coming on. This silly boy only knows how to solve cases. If he had the emotional intelligence of his father, Ran would be his girlfriend by now.

Oh dear, when will this child finally understand?

At this moment, in the living room on the second floor of Miyazaki Yushin's house.

"call--"

After drinking a cup of hot tea, Kogoro Mori leaned back comfortably in his chair, a satisfied smile on his face.

"After a satisfying meal, enjoying a large cup of herbal tea is truly delightful!"

By this time, several dishes on the table had already been devoured.

As Miyazaki Yu's swordsmanship improved, his knife skills also improved without him even realizing it, to the point that his culinary skills also rose accordingly.

These dishes are all seafood. Japan may not have many other things, but it has a very wide variety of seafood products.

So Miyazaki Yu made several seafood dishes. The fresh ingredients and excellent cooking techniques elevated the deliciousness of the dishes to a whole new level.

"I've only been here a short time, and many things aren't yet complete, not even beer. Next time we go up to the rooftop on the third floor, we can cook and barbecue, and with ice-cold beer, it will be really great."

"Huh? Barbecue and ice-cold beer? Wow, you really know me! I can't wait!"

Kogoro Mouri's eyes lit up. Beer was his favorite, and if he paired it with some delicious barbecue, the enjoyment would be multiplied several times over.

"Dad, you can't drink too much beer. And Miyazaki, you're too lenient with him. But I'm still really looking forward to it."

Ran Mouri couldn't help but smile.

"This is not indulgence. Being able to drink with a famous detective like Uncle Mori is a rare experience."

Flattery will get you everywhere, and this flattery was so brilliant that it instantly made Kogoro Mouri feel incredibly proud.

"Hehe, of course. With me, Kogoro Mouri, on the case, there's no case I can't solve."

Xiaolan smiled helplessly, knowing that her father was bragging again.

Since Mom left, Dad has been running the detective agency by himself, but business has been rather bleak, since Dad is really not good enough for the job of a detective.

After finishing the meal, she took the initiative to clean up the dishes. Miyazaki Yu wanted to help, but was refused, so she didn't insist any further.

In the deep darkness of night, he sat alone in the lobby on the first floor.

Today's battle was not entirely fruitless for him.

He had gained a lot of information through the battle.

For example, what is the general level of the members of those kendo clubs, and where does one's own skill rank?

Based on the information available, his strength is already enough to make him the undisputed king among these high school students.

However, although he now possesses extremely sophisticated power control techniques and his realm is already high enough, he still has a limited number of moves he has mastered, and he needs to enter a stage of accumulation.

Chapter Twenty-Seven: Mental Models and Muscle Fibers

In the realm of consciousness, Miyazaki Yu is currently battling his opponent of the day, Aso Kazunaru.

This is also one of Miyazaki Hayao's achievements in the world of consciousness.

He can collect physical data from anyone he has fought, and then conduct simulated battles in the world of consciousness.

When I was unconscious, I didn't collect any data about anyone in my consciousness, so I naturally couldn't do this.

This Aso Kazunaru is the first person I've gathered. Although his strength is far inferior to mine, I can still learn some useful things from him.

The opponent's power generation techniques and the execution of their moves can all be used as a reference.

The most useful thing is still as it is now.

"what--"

Aso Kazumi roared and attacked with his long sword. In Miyazaki Yu's consciousness world, he no longer had a bamboo sword in his hand, nor did he have any protective gear. The two of them were fighting with real swords.

At this moment, Miyazaki Yu had limited his strength and speed to a level comparable to his opponent's. He also gripped his sword with both hands and parried the opponent's blade.

"Ding--"

Their sharp edges clashed, their strengths evenly matched!

Immediately, Aso and Naruto launched a rapid attack. The opponent's attack was actually very well-organized. Tangzhu (straight slash), Kesa slash (right diagonal slash), Ni Kesa (left diagonal slash), left horizontal slash, right horizontal slash, left upward slash, right upward slash, Nifeng (from bottom to top), and thrust were all executed one by one.

During one of their previous encounters, Miyazaki Yu stood still and allowed his opponent to attack him.

It may seem that Miyazaki Yu was not attacking, but in fact he was collecting data on his opponent's moves so that he could practice each move in his mind's eye.

At this moment, due to the perfect match in strength and speed, the difficulty for Miyazaki Yu to win suddenly increased significantly. However, Miyazaki Yu's proficiency in the moves was far beyond what his opponent could match, and he could still win within ten moves.

However, Miyazaki Yu was not satisfied.
