The world of science is unscientific

"Senior, I want to learn how to kill."

"I don't teach."

...

Yusuke Suzuki looked around speechlessly and then whispered, "Don't worry, I won't betray you, teacher, if anything happens."

"Oh? Are you serious about this?"

"really."

"I do not believe."

Yusuke Suzuki was stunned. After a moment of silence, he stood up and bowed, saying, "This junior will take his leave."

"and many more."

Xu Dingqian pulled out a whisk from somewhere, tapped it three times on his shoulder, and then went into the inner room with his hands behind his back.

...

Are they putting on a Journey to the West show here?

Yusuke Suzuki suddenly wanted to switch to another martial arts school; this guy was a little bit strange.

After much deliberation, he still sneaked into the backyard in the dead of night and immediately saw Xu Dingqian under the moonlight. The man had one hand behind his back and a calm gaze.

Then, Xu Dingqian assumed a starting stance and stood quietly in the courtyard.

Chapter 229 Tennis Match?

"Master Xu, are you trying to test my methods?"

"Not bad, we can only see your true nature in a fight, young man, make your move."

Yusuke Suzuki smiled nonchalantly, “No need to test me, I can tell you directly what I want to learn is the art of killing, to act according to my own will, and to have my own standard in my heart.”

"Enough with the nonsense." Xu Dingqian stepped forward and struck Suzuki Yusuke's chin with a palm strike, the speed was extremely fast, and the wind from his palm strike was whistling.

This guy is really something.

Yusuke Suzuki stepped back to dodge, then raised his hand to grab the outstretched wrist, attempting to twist and subdue the opponent.

However, he still felt that this kind of sparring was a complete waste of time. If he had studied Chinese martial arts before, he could have gained some insights from the sparring, but the key point was that he had not studied it.

"Senior, I'll take my leave."

Letting go, turning around, and climbing the wall, in the blink of an eye, Yusuke Suzuki had already dashed out of the yard.

After leaving, he went straight back to the hotel.

Facing Xu Dingqian, Suzuki Yusuke felt confident that he could kill him within one minute, so his current standard for finding a master is not how good the other person is at fighting, but whether the other person is proficient in a certain skill.

Xu Dingqian definitely fits the bill, but he's too much of a handful, and Suzuki Yusuke has no interest in playing along.

Anyway, his personal combat skills are more than enough right now. He spends most of his time using guns, so learning various martial arts can be done slowly as a linear achievement task.

After resting for a night, Yusuke Suzuki set off back to Tokyo.

Since Vermouth has been nowhere to be found, Yusuke Suzuki no longer leaves Tokyo for extended periods, and his departures and returns are irregular.

After returning to Tokyo, he went to the Suzuki family home. It had been a long time since he had been there, and Suzuki Shiro probably realized that he didn't like coming over much anymore, so he rarely invited him now.

Moreover, he and Sonoko Suzuki have a good relationship, so Shiro Suzuki doesn't need to worry too much about whether he has any negative feelings towards his family.

This trip was at Sonoko Suzuki's special request, as she said it had been a long time since they had a get-together.

Everyone was here today, and the family enjoyed a meal together, chatting and laughing.

"Those kids are going to Kumamoto tomorrow for a tennis tournament. Do you want to come with me?" Sonoko Suzuki asked casually as she brought her older brother an ashtray.

Yusuke Suzuki was somewhat surprised. How come he didn't know about this? And when did those kids learn to play tennis?

This... okay, this is very much like Ke Xue (a famous Chinese writer).

"Are you going to join the fun?"

Upon hearing this, Sonoko Suzuki objected, "What do you mean by 'joining in the fun'? Let's go and have some fun together, and we can cheer on those kids. Let's go together! I heard that little girl with brown hair is going too."

???

Why was Ai Haibara specifically mentioned?

Yusuke Suzuki maintained his composure. "You mean Ai? Okay, let's do it together tomorrow."

"Yay!" Sonoko Suzuki exclaimed as if she had won a victory. "I knew you would agree if I mentioned that little girl."

"why?"

Sonoko Suzuki said speechlessly, "Anyone who comes here can see that you want to take her everywhere you go, and you spoil her rotten..."

Is it...is it that obvious?

Yusuke Suzuki thought about it for a moment, and it seemed that was indeed the case.

Never mind, it doesn't matter.

"By the way, Ms. Mori and Ran will probably be there too, right?"

“Of course,” Sonoko Suzuki laughed. “The organizers reimbursed their travel expenses this time. Otherwise, why would that uncle who loves to drink have gone?”

"Okay, then could you also help me with my round-trip arrangements? I'm off now."

Yusuke Suzuki stubbed out his cigarette, patted Sonoko Suzuki's shoulder solemnly, and then left without looking back.

It was not yet 2 p.m. when he called Professor Agasa to check on the Junior Detective League's training.

Ai Haibara was there too, but she had just gone to the restroom and didn't answer the phone.

Didan Primary School.

Outdoor children's tennis court.

Yusuke Suzuki brought over a case of energy drinks. The sun was shining brightly, and the children were resting in the shade.

"Brother Yusuke!"

Ayumi was the first to see him and exclaimed in surprise.

Yusuke Suzuki distributed the energy drinks and received a lot of thanks.

He glanced around and saw that, apart from Ai Haibara, the other four were all wearing the same clothes. It seemed that Ai Haibara hadn't participated in the competition.

"So, are you the coach?"

Yusuke Suzuki sat down next to Ai Haibara, who was holding a small notebook and looked very professional.

“Of course,” Ai Haibara tilted her head back and took a sip of her drink. “I also made a physical training plan, but it doesn’t seem to be working so far.”

Today, Ai Haibara is still wearing the same necklace around her neck that depicts an orca chasing a baby dolphin, which she wore a long time ago, along with a white dress and a white tennis cap.

“The time was still too short,” Conan walked over and looked at Yusuke Suzuki. “I heard from Uncle Suzuki yesterday that a temple in Kyoto invited him to investigate some things, which seemed to be related to the theft of Buddha statues.”

Yusuke Suzuki flicked Conan on the forehead. "The teacher hasn't told me about this yet. Can you focus on the competition first?"

"I didn't slack off..." Conan scratched his forehead, looking quite annoyed. "So, you just came here to watch our training?"

"What else can I do?" Suzuki Yusuke crossed his legs. "I don't know how to play tennis, so I can't give you any pointers."

"Huh? There are things you don't know..." Conan was clearly taken aback.

After chatting for a while, the sun became a little lower, and Mitsuhiko encouraged everyone to continue training and make the most of the time.

Ai Haibara closed the notebook, covered her face with it, and then rested her head on Yusuke Suzuki's lap to fall asleep.

She's been organizing the information for the participating teams, and she seems a bit tired.

"Doctor, could you pick a few larger leaves for me?"

Yusuke Suzuki looked at Professor Agasa, who nodded in agreement and returned shortly afterward with the leaves.

The leaves of this tree are about half the size of a palm. They can be easily woven together to make a fan, but you can't be too vigorous or they will break.

Dr. Agasa watched with satisfaction, having witnessed Ai Haibara's transformation firsthand. Meanwhile, Yusuke Suzuki seemed to have been exceptionally lenient towards Ai Haibara from the very beginning.

Perhaps this is fate between the two of them?

Dr. Agasa suddenly wondered what would happen if Suzuki Yusuke knew that Ai Haibara wasn't actually a child. Come to think of it, if the two of them could get along normally, he wondered if they might become lovers.

Probably so?

After sleeping for more than an hour, Ai Haibara slowly woke up, feeling a pleasant breeze on her cheek.

Oh, it's Yusuke...

She carefully sat up and gently pressed down on the other person's hand, which was still moving on its own. This guy, really, he was clearly asleep...

Wait a minute, how can a person's hand continue to move when they're asleep?

Sure enough, Ai Haibara looked up and met Yusuke Suzuki's gaze.

"Where are the doctor and the others?"

Yusuke Suzuki casually tossed the leaf aside. "The professor took them to get something to eat first. Let's go too."

Chapter 230 Why did Suzuki Yusuke absolutely refuse to come over first?

After meeting up with Professor Agasa and the others, the two ate something quick and then went home together.

The children were all exhausted today, and it would be too much for them to continue exercising.

After staying at Professor Agasa's house until around 8 p.m., Suzuki Yusuke said goodbye and left.

At that moment, Kogoro Mouri called, asking if he wanted to go to Kumamoto together.

"Hasn't Sonoko told you yet? We're going tomorrow too."

"Really? That's great, Yusuke. If you hadn't come, I would have been drinking all by myself."

"Oh? So, if I'm here, teacher, you have another activity planned?"

"Of course! Then, my apprentice and I can drink together!"

"..."
