I am in Mihua, and the ladies all like me

She also specially emphasized the pronunciation of the four words "Hattori Heiji", giving people a meaningful feeling.

Ah……

Serabelle held her forehead slightly in her heart: "From the tone of your voice, shouldn't you have known for a long time that I am not the real Hattori Heiji?"

"Oh~ That's it."

The Kyoto girl's upturned eyes narrowed slightly, and a fox-like look flashed in her beautiful amber eyes.

"So who are you?"

"Serabel, my current occupation is a detective."

Serabelle shrugged.

"Actually, I was only invited to watch my friend's game today, but Hattori had something urgent to do, so he asked me to fill in for him. At first, I was only planning to fill in for the preliminary and preliminaries, but I didn't expect that I would make it to the finals and win the championship."

"What if I accidentally...?"

Ooka Hongye pursed her lips, half covered her mouth with one hand and chuckled twice.

"If our classmate Okita heard this, he would be so angry that he would cry. He was aiming for the championship before the competition, but he didn't expect that he would be crushed by you, Sera-kun, after making it to the finals."

"Hey, Sera-kun, what do you say—"

As if she suddenly thought of something interesting, the Kyoto girl blinked twice in a quirky way.

"If I report to the referee team now that Gaifang High School is recruiting substitutes, what will happen?"

"I think he will be disqualified."

Serabelle said calmly.

Tanaka had already told him about what would happen if a substitute was discovered before the game started, but fortunately he was not a member of the Kendo Club of Kaikata High School, not even a student of Kaikata High School.

If the qualification of the winner is really to be revoked, then he has no other ideas. At most, Hattori Heiji, the instigator, will be blamed.

"Sorry, sorry, it was just a joke, I wouldn't do that."

Seeing that the prank had failed, Ooka Hongye put away her somewhat feminine look and returned to her usual image of a dignified young lady, bowing slightly to the boy in front of her.

"I was running out of time at the restroom door before, so now is a good time to introduce myself. Ooka Momiji, this is my name."

"Hello."

Serabelle didn't think much about the name and just nodded calmly.

Ooka Hongye didn't say anything else, just smiled and turned away.

"See you later then, I believe we will meet again soon."

"……See you."

Chapter 405: Important Revelation from Mrs. Jinghua

It was not until the sun gradually sank below the horizon that the Langhua Sports Arena, which had been bustling all day, finally began to return to silence.

The street lamps on both sides of the street in front of the gymnasium lit up one after another, and the falling lights illuminated the big red banner on the wall at the entrance with "The XXth Kansai High School Kendo Competition" printed on it.

On the side of the road, Hattori Heiji, surrounded by a crowd of people, was holding a medal with the word "winner" in his hand and had a complicated expression on his face.

How should I put it? If we put aside the process, winning the championship alone is indeed a happy thing.

But the problem is that he really can't ignore the process.

It would be fine if his opponent in the final match happened to be in poor physical condition, which led to his easy victory, but the fact is that he didn't even play the entire game himself.

and--

"I always feel like this victory is too exaggerated. When I went on stage to receive the award, the host praised me a lot, saying that I won unexpectedly by using two swords. If I hadn't watched the video that Tanaka sent me beforehand, I would have almost no idea what he was talking about..."

"Yes, yes, you are so bold to say that."

As soon as Hattori Heiji finished speaking, Toyama Kazuha rolled her eyes and started complaining.

"At the beginning, you invited Ran-chan and the others to come to Osaka to watch your competition. You even practiced swordplay at home every day before the competition, as if you were not going to win the championship. But when the competition came, you disappeared. It was Saira-kun who played for you throughout the game."

"Oh, who knew that I would encounter a case by such coincidence? I can't just pretend I didn't see it, right?" Hattori Heiji scratched his head awkwardly.

But the Osaka girl simply stretched out one hand and blocked him with her palm as if performing the Tathagata Palm.

"Don't tell me this. Tell this to Sera-kun."

"Oh, too..."

On second thought, it made sense. Hattori Heiji decisively gave up his childhood sweetheart, turned 60 degrees clockwise and turned to the boy in the foggy city who was staring at the sky with his hands in his pockets, his tone very serious.

"Sera, as a thank you, I decided to give you this winning medal!"

"……what?"

Serabelle was originally racking her brains to think of what local snacks there are in Osaka, but she came back to her senses when she was called out like that. She looked closely at the medal that was almost stuffed into her face, and after thinking for a moment, she raised her hand and touched her forehead as if she thought she had a fever.

"But your name is written on it. If I take it back, even if someone sees it, they will probably just think it was stolen. Besides, you might as well treat me to a meal."

"What does it matter?"

Hattori Heiji still looked carefree and unconcerned.

"At worst, I can write 'Substitute - Serabelle' at the bottom... As for food, that's certainly available, but it's not the kind of ordinary snacks you can find anywhere on the streets, but..."

"But what?"

A big question mark appeared above Serabelle's head.

But at this time, Hattori Heiji deliberately kept the secret, showing a mouthful of white teeth and smiling, raising his index finger and shaking it.

"Don't worry, you will know soon."

Huh? Why wait to find out?

A sense of foreboding suddenly crossed Serabel's mind, and Conan's expression remained unchanged.

The next second, two police cars lined up and turned from the nearby corner and drove towards them, as if they had rehearsed it in advance. After driving up beside them, they pulled over and stopped steadily on the side of the road with a perfect performance.

The car window was rolled down, and a police officer who looked like a middle-aged Yuanta poked his head out from the driver's seat, speaking with a standard Osaka accent.

"Oh~Brother Hattori, I've driven the car over here, you can get in... Eh? Mrs. Hattori, you're here too?"

Somehow, the middle-aged police officer Genta, who had a very natural attitude in the last second, inexplicably shrank his head after seeing Hattori Shizuka, who had been silent beside Hattori Heiji, giving people the feeling of a mouse seeing a cat.

Hattori Heiji waved cheerfully.

"I'm sorry, I have to trouble you again, Inspector Otaki."

Then he turned to the three female high school students behind him: Kazuha, Xiaolan and Masumi.

"Then you and Ye can take the car in the back, and Sera, Conan and I will take the one in the front."

hiss!

Serabelle suddenly understood where that ominous premonition came from.

NMD, let people sit in the back seat of the police car and go to the destination, right!

……

About half an hour later, two police cars stopped in front of a single-family building that was not connected to the residential area but existed independently. The word "Hattori" was clearly engraved on the doorplate.

In fact, in theory, a single-family house like this that is not crowded with residential areas can almost be considered a villa, but this one of the Hattori family... can only be called a single-family house.

Whether it is in terms of floor area or room structure.

The only difference between it and an ordinary single-family house is probably the dojo behind it, which covers an area almost five times that of the ordinary single-family house.

Just imagine that behind a two-story house, the total area of ​​which is only 140 to 150 square meters, there is a single-story kendo dojo with an area of ​​over 400 square meters.

At first glance, it looks like the main body of a residential building is just a front door, or a guard booth.

The overall structure of Hattori Heiji's family is so weird.

The police car went back after sending the people away, and Serabelle and others entered the entrance under the leadership of Hattori Heiji.

The living room is decorated in standard Japanese style, with tatami on the floor and a long low table in the middle of the living room. There are eight cushions on both sides, plus one on the main seat at the front, for a total of nine.

"Then you guys take a seat first, dinner will be served soon."

As Hattori Shizuka spoke, she walked past the dining table, took an apron from the hook on the wall, put it on and walked into the kitchen.

Seeing her leisurely strolling posture, even Xiaolan, who usually cooks at home, was stunned for a moment.

She thought she came to Hattori Heiji's house just to put down some things. After all, she had a lot of things with her after a day of competition, such as water cups, towels, medals, etc.

So this means we're going to have dinner at Hattori Heiji's house? And the uncle's mother will cook for us?

It’s not that I don’t trust my aunt’s cooking skills, but there are so many of them, and it’s already this late. Is it really too late to start cooking from scratch?

As if seeing her friend's confusion, Yuanshan Heye reached out and patted her shoulder, smiling.

"Well, Lan-chan, you just need to trust your aunt's cooking skills. After all, Aunt Jinghua is known as the 'dinner king'."

"Heaven...King of Heaven?"

Xiaolan's eyes suddenly became small.

Yuanshan Heye turned towards the kitchen again and asked in a slightly raised voice.

"Aunt, isn't Uncle Hattori coming back to eat with us tonight?"

"Heizo? He shouldn't, right?"

From the kitchen came the intentional or unintentional voice of Hattori Shizuka.

"If he is free someday, he will take the initiative to tell me. If he doesn't, I guess he will be busy until eleven or twelve every day as usual."

"That's right..."

Chapter 406 Shiliang: Mom is not here tonight! I won’t act anymore!

Just like that, time passed quickly and it was after dinner.

It was still the Hattori residence, with a group of people lying on the tatami around the dining table in the living room.

"I really want another bowl, but I really can't eat anymore."

Especially before dinner, Sera Masumi, who was wondering like Xiaolan how Hattori Shizuka could make a delicious dinner in such a short time. Now, she was like Tiger Vanguard who had eaten the whole monkey head buffet for several hours at the Black Myth Goku demo. She fell to the ground, holding her stomach and unable to move.

Although her abdomen still looked flat through her clothes, judging from her expression of great satisfaction and a little pain, it seemed that there was really no more room to put in.

It wasn't just Sera Masumi, everyone else at the table, including Hattori Heiji, looked satisfied.

Although Toyama Kazuha was not as exaggerated as Sera Masumi, she also leaned back with her hands on the ground, carefully adjusting her posture to leave more space for her stomach, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Aunt's cooking skills are truly unique in Kansai. You won't be able to eat food of this quality even in high-end restaurants."

"Ha ha……"

Listening to the praises from a group of juniors, Hattori Shizuka, who was kneeling at the dining table with her legs together and holding a cup of hot tea in her hand, just smiled softly.

"Well, as long as you like it."

Immediately afterwards, Hattori Heiji, who was sitting next to her, immediately raised his voice and hummed, as if he had suddenly thought of a good idea, and an incandescent light bulb suddenly lit up above his head.

"Oh, right, since everyone is full, why don't we go out for a walk tonight? It's not too late now anyway."

"You're an idiot..."

Before he finished speaking, Yuanshan Heye started to complain about his childhood sweetheart and stupid younger brother.

"You've been competing outside all day, and you're still going out for a walk at night. Aren't you tired?"

Hattori Heiji scratched his head: "I think it's okay."

"Nonsense, you think it's okay because Sera-kun helped you finish the game..."

He Ye couldn't help but hold his forehead.

"Besides, you just informed Ran-chan and the others yesterday that there would be a match today, so they packed their luggage overnight and rushed here by Shinkansen early this morning. They probably haven't even found a place to stay yet, right? They can't possibly be wandering around Osaka with a big suitcase with you, right? Or are we all going to stay in your room tonight?"

"Well, that seems to be the case..."
