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

These old guys have spent their whole lives pursuing swordsmanship, much like some rigid writers who have little interest in anything else besides swordsmanship.

Such people can be difficult to get along with, but they can also be very easy to get along with.

Moreover, this new swordsman is far too young and not at all as aloof as those old guys.

What's particularly good is that he doesn't have any kendo school behind him, and he doesn't even have many relatives, as can be seen from the people he invited to attend the ceremony.

In other words, such a powerful figure is not yet bound by various forces. If they get along well, he could even be completely brought under the government's jurisdiction and become a sharp weapon that the government can use to deal with external affairs!

Clearly, these high-ranking figures also recognized Miyazaki Yu's value and made the same judgment as Vermouth.

"And then there's Detective Mouri, a former police genius. He and Attorney Kisaki clearly hold extraordinary positions in Miyazaki's eyes. As a former police officer, getting to the bottom of things by learning from him is a very important angle!"

Director Liu Ze listened to the discussion and nodded in agreement.

“The methods you all mentioned are correct. I will personally oversee this matter. Even if such a powerful figure cannot be used by us, we must guide him onto the right path.”

Everyone nodded solemnly, while also revealing a wry smile.

In this science-driven era, the power of an individual is already insignificant compared to the power of society as a whole.

But there are always some geniuses who can transcend the boundaries of ordinary people's imagination; perhaps this is just the norm in this world.

Meanwhile, after the banquet ended, everyone returned to their respective residences under the enthusiastic arrangements of Vice President Ishida.

After Miyazaki Yu and Rena returned home, Miyazawa Mie was overjoyed to hear the news. Miyazaki Yu handed her his swordsman's certificate.

After Miyazawa Mie opened the Sword Master's Form, she examined it carefully several times, as if it were a work of art.

Although the entire scroll was made of the finest fabric and embroidered with a great deal of gold thread, making it extremely luxurious, Miyazaki Yu felt somewhat embarrassed being stared at like that.

Finally, she decided to buy the best display case, reframe the swordsman's portrait, and place it in the display case.

This made Miyazaki Yu smile. It was a bit like parents seeing their child's award certificate and not knowing where to put it. It warmed Miyazaki Yu's heart even more.

In the days that followed, Miyazaki Yu resumed his previous routine, practicing swordplay in the mornings to exercise, reading many books to enrich his knowledge, and even occasionally attending classes.

This made Miss Morita Ouran very happy.

In her own words, "I thought that after becoming a swordsman, he would never appear at school again, and he would no longer care about his promise to a girl. I didn't expect that he would be so trustworthy and willing to keep his promise."

Miyazaki Yu had previously promised to teach her kendo, but after summer vacation started, the frequency of instruction decreased significantly, sometimes only once a week.

Now, Miyazaki Yu has actually won the title of Sword Master, which has greatly shocked her.

Miyazaki Yu was not surprised that the girl knew he had become a swordsman. The Kendo Association and the Morita family had close ties, and even the Kendo Association building was funded by the Morita family.

This made the girl feel smug about her wise decision. This was the guidance of a true swordsman! She had only spent a little money to receive the swordsman's instruction. The money was well spent!

So she voluntarily increased the previously agreed price tenfold, as a celebration of Miyazaki Yu's advancement to swordsman.

Miyazaki Yuya didn't pretentiously refuse. He deserved the treatment befitting his status. Now that he was a true swordsman, the price of his instruction was naturally different.

Moreover, this amount of money is just a drop in the ocean for the other party, and there's no need for them to save money for a tycoon. They certainly won't give up on increasing their wealth.

Those who have never experienced hardship cannot understand this feeling.

In the following days, nothing major happened. With Conan's full assistance, Kogoro Mouri's detective skills improved rapidly. He solved several more cases, and his reputation grew, earning him a large sum of commission fees.

It not only satisfied his vanity but also brought him a large sum of money, so he was naturally very happy.

However, a phone call from Moonshadow Island and a mysterious letter shattered this tranquility.

"On the night of the next full moon, shadows will disappear again on Moonshadow Island. Please investigate the cause." The letter is signed by Keiji Aso. Is this the letter that has been troubling your uncle so much?

Miyazaki Yu smiled as he examined the letter in his hand.

Kogoro Mouri nodded: "That's right, not only that, the guy who sent the letter also called me to urge me, and has already transferred the handling fee to my account. I can't refuse now, so I can only grit my teeth and agree. But I feel like there's something fishy about this."

As a former detective, Kogoro Mouri has his own keen senses, and this matter is strange in every way.

A letter pieced together from text cut from a newspaper, a phone call that sounded like a kidnapper's notification, and a remittance of 500,000 delivered directly to the door—everything about it seemed strange.

"So what Uncle Mori means is..."

Kogoro Mouri smiled smugly and said, "Of course, I'll have you, a master, come with me. With you by my side, I can handle any situation with ease."

"Moon Shadow Island, since it's Uncle Mori's request, I naturally won't refuse. It's also a good opportunity to visit the Izu Islands, right, Ran?"

Xiao Lan, who was standing to the side, was taken aback for a moment, then became happy.

"Yeah, yeah, I really want to go to the Izu Islands too. I feel so safe going with Xiaoyu!"

This made Conan's face darken even more.

"Damn it, now I have to find out what's going on on the island as soon as possible, and I have to stay close to Xiaolan. I absolutely cannot let Xiaolan be alone with this guy again, I swear!"

Chapter 154 Sea Fishing (3rd Update)

On the bow of the ship in the early morning, a gentle breeze caressed my body, and the damp, chilly air quickly dispelled my last vestiges of sleepiness.

Miyazaki Yu stood barefoot on the deck, and with a light leap, he landed on the deck railing. Dewdrops still clung to the railing, but beneath his feet, his body stood as steady as a mountain, without the slightest sway.

In his mind, he began to recall the feeling he had when he fought against Makino Harukawa. That mysterious feeling shocked and mesmerized him.

For days, he had been searching for that feeling, that feeling of unstoppable force when wielding a sword, the feeling of being able to cut through rocks, walls, or impenetrable fortresses with a single strike, the feeling of which was extremely exhilarating.

However, after that battle, he tried to recreate that power, but after hundreds of attempts, he made no progress whatsoever.

Being in the vast, desolate sea, surrounded by the boundless expanse of sky and sea, stirred his emotions, and he couldn't help but want to try again.

Standing atop the iron railing, a cool sensation spread through his feet. He quickly calmed his mind, casting aside all distractions, and instantly entered a state of focused concentration.

Immediately afterwards, his entire body began to move in perfect harmony, as if he were a highly precise mechanical clock, with all the springs tightening in an instant, while his muscles reached their most relaxed state in a flash.

Between tension and relaxation, his body was in an extremely exquisite state. The pores on his skin were excitedly opening, and he was breathing heavily, releasing the waste gas inside his body.

"As expected, the reason I failed was because I never reached that mental state before. At that moment, my heart was like a volcano erupting, but my mind was as calm as water, like a volcano encased in ice."

Before moving or remaining still, my body was in a completely different state, which allowed me to unleash such a powerful sword strike!

Just then, he felt a gaze fall on him. His eyes quickly swept along the gaze and he saw a child's astonished face. It was Conan.

At this moment, Conan was also barefoot. After noticing that Miyazaki Yu had gotten up early, the kid couldn't help but follow him to see what he was up to. When he saw that this guy had actually jumped several meters and stood steadily on the slippery railing, he couldn't help but widen his eyes.

This guy always manages to do something unexpected.

"Oh, it's Conan. Why didn't you sleep in a little longer so early?"

While Conan was still in a daze, Miyazaki Yu had already arrived beside him, which made Conan's body stiffen. This guy appeared and disappeared without a trace, which was absolutely terrifying.

At this point, all we can do is accumulate savings and pretend.

"Wow, Miyazaki-nii scared me to death! How did you suddenly run over here? It was so scary!"

Looking at the brat who was deliberately shouting, Miyazaki Yu smiled faintly. This brat is very cunning. His brother clearly wanted to observe him secretly, but now it's as if he's the one bullying him. Well then, I'll just quietly watch your performance.

After crying for a while and finding it had no effect, the other person just looked at him with a smile, making Conan, the rascal, feel quite embarrassed.

"Being forced to act like a child is bad enough, but having to act cute and charming in front of this guy is unbearable," but thinking of this guy's terrifying strength, she couldn't help but shudder.

"Forget it, I, Lord Kudo, am magnanimous and won't bother with this guy."

Miyazaki Yu smiled faintly and said, "Alright, we'll reach our destination in two more hours. The journey is indeed a bit boring, but as a boy, you should be patient."

This tone, clearly meant to coax a child, made Conan even more frustrated, but there was nothing he could do about it.

Seeing Conan's sullen yet helpless expression, Miyazaki Yu felt a secret sense of satisfaction.

At this moment, Xiaolan also came out of the cabin. Seeing the two of them together, she couldn't help but smile.

"It seems that your relationship has improved a lot now. I knew that guys would easily develop a relationship if they often do things together."

Conan internally screamed, "No way! Don't make wild guesses!"

Kogoro Mouri came out yawning. He was quite at ease with Miyazaki Yu accompanying him. He had enjoyed a good beer and barbecue last night and was still not fully sober.

"Why aren't you sleeping in a little longer? What are you up to do so early in the morning? You think you're going to catch fish? You're really something, no wonder you're a swordsman. You actually managed to catch grouper and tilapia in the dark sea. They're absolutely delicious."

Last night, after everyone boarded the ship, they got bored and borrowed barbecue equipment from the captain to make a barbecue. Kogoro Mouri knew that Miyazaki Yu was a very good cook, and it would be a waste not to make good use of it.

Miyazaki Yu lived up to expectations, making a delicious barbecue using the available ingredients. Not only did the group enjoy it, but even the captain and some tourists couldn't help but watch. Kogoro could only share some of the barbecue with everyone, earning their praise.

However, for Miyazaki Yu, this was not enough. The food available on the ship was mostly frozen meat and seafood, which was not bad, but it was far inferior to truly fresh ingredients.

So Miyazaki Yu decided to catch some fish on the spot to grill and cook.

He didn't use a fishing rod; instead, he used a line and a hook, relying entirely on touch to fish in the dark sea.

This surprised everyone. This move was not invented by Miyazaki Yu. Some expert sea anglers and some old fishermen can also use this move.

This method is extremely difficult and inefficient, but it can catch some very rare and precious sea fish, such as grouper that like to hide in underwater caves. This kind of fish can only be caught from the water using this method. It would be impossible to catch it using fishing nets or other means.

The tourists on the boat were all intrigued. Could this young man be a fishing expert?

Indeed, it is true. In his previous life, Miyazaki Yu had two great hobbies, one of which was cooking. As mentioned before, he even studied cooking for a long time in order to learn it.

Then there's fishing, which is considered one of the romantic things for men. However, compared to his cooking skills, his talent for fishing is quite average.

However, he spends more time fishing. He has been interested in fishing since he was a child and has been learning for many years. His fishing skills are quite good. Now his physical coordination is far superior to what he had in his previous life, so his fishing level has improved accordingly.

Not long after, in full view of everyone, he caught several large fish with his bare hands and a fishing line, including a very large grouper and a tilefish. The fish weighed several dozen kilograms in total.

These top-quality sea fish were incredibly delicious, which satisfied everyone's appetite and left them all feeling completely content.

Chapter 155 Strange Situation and Makoto Asai

"Dad, you ate the most last night, and you still want more? Xiaoyu has worked very hard, so don't push your luck."

"No, I was just concerned about him," Kogoro Mouri, whose thoughts had been guessed, hurriedly explained like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.

"But I'm serious, you're amazing. You should definitely go fishing more often when you have time. Those are species that you can't buy even if you have money."

Ignoring her father's gluttonous appearance, Xiaolan looked at Miyazaki Yu apologetically, but Miyazaki Yu responded with a smile.

"We're almost at Moonshadow Island. Once the investigation is over, we can have a good time exploring the various islands in the Izu Islands. There are also many water sports to try out."

Xiaolan smiled and agreed, thinking to herself, "Xiaoyu understands me so well. I haven't even said anything yet, and he already knows what I mean. I also really want to go to the Izu Islands. He's the one who brought it up first."

After everyone had breakfast in the ship's restaurant, another hour passed before they finally arrived at the dock of Moonshadow Island.

"We've finally arrived. If it weren't for the 500,000, I wouldn't want to come to this little island."

Xiao Lan quickly nudged the complaining detective.
