Conan: What's wrong with my Yan Shuangying's painting style?

The Death God Elementary School Student smiled awkwardly.

If it were presented in the form of anime, he would most likely have turned his head to the side, facing the window, and then complained for a while, and then came back to his senses when Ran Mouri called him, and shouted to explain why he was distracted.

"Wow, is this true? Okita and Onimaru, you two are in Hakodate too?"

"How come I've been wandering around Hakodate for two or three days and haven't run into either of you? Oh, and why didn't you two go to the kendo tournament, but took this train to Tokyo instead?"

Hattori Heiji's voice sounded outside the carriage.

Hearing this, Ran Mouri and Conan turned their heads almost simultaneously to look towards the door, with a hint of doubt in their eyes.

"...What kendo tournament? You're also an invited contestant, right? Don't you know that the kendo tournament has to be postponed because of the recent martial law in Hakodate City?"

Souji Okita looked at Hattori Heiji in front of him and couldn't help but shook his head, feeling a little helpless.

There are only a few high school students in the country who are good at kendo and I have met them many times. I didn't expect that four of them would gather in Hakodate City at once, and we would meet all three of them on the train to Tokyo. It was such a coincidence.

In fact, it wasn't three Kendo High School students who were meeting in the hallway, but four.

Because Fucheng Sheng was wearing a hood at the moment, he was standing at the connection between the two train cars and observing the situation through the perspective window. He was worried that other people would recognize who he was, so he deliberately pushed his hood down again.

He originally planned to go to Osaka, but found that Hattori Heiji had boarded a train to Tokyo for some reason. In addition, he really wanted to see the kendo level of Ishikawa Goemon, so he followed the train.

"Ah, it's postponed? I didn't notice that..."

Hattori Heiji scratched the back of his head and said with a wry smile.

Not only did he not notice that the kendo tournament was postponed, he didn't even know that he was invited to the kendo tournament. Now that he thinks about it, the invitation to the kendo tournament was probably delivered to his home when he was already pregnant.

"Speaking of which, have you met Fukushiro? He lives in Hakodate City, so he should be very familiar with this area..."

The famous detective from Kansai wisely stopped talking before he could finish his words.

The reason was simple. As soon as he mentioned Fukushiro Sei, Okita Souji and Onimaru Takeshi, who had been controlling their expressions well, suddenly lost their composure. Their faces turned visibly dark, as if they were about to kill Fukushiro Sei with a knife.

This was bizarre. What had happened? He remembered that the relationship between Okita Souji, Onimaru Takeshi, and Fukushiro Sei wasn't that bad. Although his own relationship with Fukushiro Sei wasn't great either...

Toyama Kazuha, who was standing behind Hattori Heiji, looked at the two kendo high school students in front of her with a little surprise.

She only realized now that she seemed to have seen these two people before at Hakodate Airport, and that they had caused some minor disputes at the airport. She didn't expect that they were old acquaintances of Heiji?

Why does it feel like this world is so small that I can meet acquaintances wherever I go?

Wow————

"Mr. Hattori, Mr. Okita, and Mr. Onimaru, it's really you!"

The door next to them was opened, and the figures of Ran Mouri and Conan appeared within their sight.

Hearing the familiar greeting, Hattori Heiji immediately turned his head to look at Mouri Ran, then immediately raised his head to look at the house number above, only to find that his house number and that of the Mouri family were actually next to each other.

Although he knew that Kogoro Mouri had also bought a ticket for this train, he didn't expect that the house numbers on the two sides were so close.

The famous detective from Kansai turned and looked down at the famous detective from Kanto.

The two famous detectives, one big and one small, looked at each other, and they could see the speechless look in each other's eyes.

I originally thought that after investigating the matter in Hakodate and taking separate actions, we would go our separate ways and not know when we would meet again, but we met again as soon as we got on the train.

"Excuse me, please move aside. I need to go to the common room over there."

Fucheng Sheng, who was observing the situation here, was patted on the shoulder.

Suddenly, the kendo master from Hakodate was startled and his hand subconsciously fell on the handle of the wooden sword exposed in the backpack. He only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the somewhat familiar face of the high school student in front of him.

What? Isn’t this Okita Souji?

————How could it be Okita Souji?

Several question marks appeared on Fucheng Sheng's forehead.

He subconsciously made way and watched the high school student, still in his blue school uniform, walk to the door at the connecting area, put his hand on the door handle, and just as he was about to open it, he suddenly stopped.

What happened? Why isn't it moving?

"……who?"

Kuroba Kaito blinked, a hint of confusion appearing in his eyes.

He looked at Okita Souji and Onimaru Takeshi displayed on the other side of the perspective window, subconsciously touched his face, and then realized - no, he didn't disguise himself, how could there be someone who looked exactly like him?

Oh no, I'm a stand-in! No, buddy, isn't this a bit too outrageous?

Kuroba Kaito, who was originally about to push the door open, chose to observe for a while longer.

His eyes quickly scanned the people in the corridor, finally landing on Ran Mouri, who was standing next to Hattori Heiji and slightly poking her head out of the room. She had distinct features.

"What? It's Kudo Shinichi."

Kuroba Kaito turned around and decided not to join in the fun.

It would be no fun if Kudo Shinichi came over and beat him up on the spot. There are public lounges on both sides of the carriage anyway. At most he can just walk a few more steps to the public lounge on the other side, haha.
