A Detective: I Believe in Science

Chapter 104 Overestimating Your Level
The fastest train from Tokyo to Osaka is the Shinkansen, which can be reached in two and a half hours.

"Xiao Ai, have you ever been to Osaka before?"

"No, my previous activities were only in Tokyo."

"Then let me take you around this time. I didn't go to many places in Osaka last time. Let's go together this time."

"Do you mind if there are three more people in the team?"

Hearing the voice from behind, Noah turned around in doubt, looking at the three smiling combinations in front of him, Noah's face was not very good-looking.

"Why are you here, shouldn't you be in class at this time?"

"At the invitation of the Ministry of Service, my sister Xiaolan and I asked for leave. Uncle is at home and has nothing to do with us."

...It's over, since these people have received the invitation, it is estimated that this trip to Osaka will not be very smooth, and I don't know which unlucky ghost will be named.

Xiaolan is already chatting with Huiyuan, but basically Huiyuan is listening, Xiaolan is talking, occasionally responding and nodding, Xiaolan knows Huiyuan's character and doesn't care.

……

on the train

"Uncle, I feel like I haven't seen you for a long time. Where did you go to work?"

"Speaking of this, I'm angry. I originally accepted a commission, and the location was in Gunma County. When I worked so hard to arrive, the matter had already been resolved."

"Then there's no need to be angry, it's always a good thing to resolve the matter."

"I wouldn't be angry if they solved it by themselves. It was a passing high school detective who finally solved it. Isn't this a business grab?"

... The uncle is particularly disgusted with high school student detectives, and complains non-stop, saying that he has been robbed of commissions by such people several times.

Especially Kudo Shinichi, who belongs to the same area as him, often makes him have no business to do, but fortunately disappeared recently.

……

"Hey, Conan, uncle seems to have a lot of resentment towards you."

"I... you didn't pick this up. If you don't bring up this topic, how can he be so resentful?"

Conan looked at Noah with resentment on his face. It was already difficult enough for him, but you are still increasing the difficulty here.

"I'm doing this for your own good. Let uncle vent his grievances in advance. Maybe his attitude towards you will change drastically in the future."

"I see... hanging."

Seeing how the uncle talked more and more vigorously, Conan couldn't imagine how he would face this future old man in the future.

……

At the gate of Osaka Station, Hattori stood at the gate holding a big sign like last time, waiting for the arrival of Noah and others.

Conan called just now to say that they and Noah just met at the station, came by car together, and happened to pick them up together.

At 10:30 in the morning, the train arrived on time, and Huiyuan and Xiaolan were already sleeping next to each other.

"Wake up, wake up, it's time to stop, and the saliva is coming out."

The spirits of the two were instantly restored, and they raised their hands to wipe their mouths at the same time, but there was nothing.

When I looked up and saw that Noah and the others were about to get out of the car, I realized that the two of them had been cheated.

"Heitantou, you are still as high-profile as ever."

"Haha, uncle, you are here too, come and watch during the game."

Hattori is now accustomed to the nickname Heitantou, and he can't resist, so he just bears it silently.

"I heard that you are coming, Xiaolan, and Ye originally planned to come with me to pick you up, but as the captain of the cheerleading team, she took people to familiarize themselves with the venue first."

"Wow, He Ye is amazing, and he's still the captain."

The competition was held jointly by the entire Osaka high school, and the scale was grand. The final venue was not in the school, but in a gymnasium in Osaka.

Along the way, Noah and the others really learned a lot. The kendo competition between schools can be held so grandly.

Although there were only two schools participating in the final, the students who walked by were wearing school uniforms. There were many schools and some people from the society who came here to visit the final.

"The students here are really energetic, and everyone is in a good state of mind."

"Uncle, when you say this, please take your eyes away from the person, it will scare the little girl."

Xiaolan is no longer surprised by her father's lustful behavior, and it is hopeless.

"Hi, Xiaolan, long time no see, miss me."

"Ah, He Ye, you are so beautiful."

Yuan Shan and Ye came running from a distance in a cheerleading uniform, looking extremely excited.

"I've been looking forward to it for a long time. Hattori will be the head general of the Kendo club this time."

"Oh..., no wonder you look so good in your clothes. So it's because someone is also on stage."

Xiaolan deliberately elongated her voice in a funny way, and looked at Kazuha and Hattori with a mocking face.

Hearing these words, He Ye blushed immediately, and pulled Xiao Lan to fight non-stop.

"The game will take some time to start, let me show you around the stadium first."

Before Xiaolan could speak, he and Yela picked up Xiaolan Huiyuan and ran to the inside of the gymnasium.

"Let me take you to the lounge of our school's Kendo Department. I just want to arrange something."

The lounge is not far from the gate of the gymnasium, two simple small houses.

Looking at the common hatred between the two school members outside the house, they knew that they were the two teams participating today, and Hattori went straight to one of them.

"Kishida, put me at the end of the game later, if you can't solve it, let me come at the end."

"Got it, got it. Your partner has already arranged it once."

"Hey, don't talk nonsense, I don't have a date yet."

Obviously, the relationship between Hattori and the other members of the Kendo club is particularly good, otherwise they wouldn't make such jokes.

"There is still about an hour and a half before the game, let me take you to eat something first."

……

"Xiao Lan, how did you and Kudo Shinichi get together? Do you have any tricks to teach me?"

"Shinichi and I are just friends, not as far as you think."

"Hey, that's such a pity. I thought Hattori and Kudo should be the same kind of people. I hope you can impart some experience."

Xiaolan was a little puzzled.Wasn't Kazuha and Hattori childhood sweethearts who grew up together?

Without waiting for Xiaolan to ask, He Ye told the whole thing.

"Recently, a new classmate was transferred to the school. She is very good-looking. The important thing is that she seems to like Hattori. Now I am worried that he will be seduced by that vixen."

"Don't worry, Hattori doesn't seem to be the kind of man who always gives up and always cares about you."

Heye and Xiaolan looked at Huibara in dismay, how could this child know so much, but how did she know that Hattori cared about Heye.

"This is what Noah told me. After he saw you in Kyoto last time, he went home and told me."

"Did Noah say anything else?"

At this time, Heye couldn't care that Huiyuan was just a child, and she wanted to hear what was going to happen next.

"Let me think about it. He said that Kudo and Hattori are a kind of people who are too curious, which is a good thing for the detective industry."

"But for the people who care about them, it's a ticking time bomb because of the constant fear."

"Kudou and Hattori are very assertive people. Once they meet a girl they like, they will not change easily."

Random Huiyuan's narration, Heye and Xiaolan's hearts have been put on these few words, is it really as Noah said?
For Noah who has watched anime, how could he not know about these two famous childhood sweethearts?

……

"Hattori, is there anything interesting now, we've been sitting in the gym and it's boring."

"Would you like to go and see our team members' sword fighting practice?"

"Go, let's see and see."

This proposal was just put forward, and it was approved by Noah. He had long wanted to see the swordsmanship of this world.

In the waiting room, several members of the Kendo Club have finished dressing and are ready to go on stage at any time.

The leading captain is directing the training, everyone's eyes are filled with the light of victory, and they are quite confident in themselves and their teammates.

Noah didn't go in to watch, but simply stood by the window to enjoy it. Watching the duel between the players, Noah was puzzled.

"Is this the level of kendo in this world, or is it that I overestimated these high school students?"

According to what Hattori said, the few players standing on the field are already relatively high-level existences among the members of their school's kendo club.

However, in Noah's view, this can't be called swordsmanship at all. It's more like two people fighting with swords, but simply using swords as weapons.

"Is there anyone with a higher level among you? These people seem to be like that."

"Of course there is, but it is far more powerful than a few of them."

Hearing this, Noah suddenly regained his energy. He wanted to meet this person, so he hurriedly asked.

"That person is of course me, the chief general of the Kendo Department."

... Excuse me, you cub, I can kill you with a single sword.
