I'm in Detective Conan, but it's a chaotic battlefield.

"Mrs. Michiko, why are you dressed like this?" Chen Nuo exclaimed in shock.

Tetsuko glared at him: "It's all because of you, you bastard, who made that rule that you have to change into clothes prepared by the castle owner before entering the castle."

Chen Nuo cried out that she was innocent: "It wasn't me! That blonde maid was just making things up. I didn't know anything about it!"

Tetsuko had a stern face, but you could clearly feel a smile on her lips.

Chen Nuo was startled. Was the other party joking with him? After all, how could the head of the prestigious Tie Group be affected by such a ridiculous rule?

Or is this actually a special visual feast prepared to thank him for rescuing the two from Tetsuken Juro and the thugs at the air show a while ago?

Although it's very pleasing to the eye, it seems to be somewhat different from the bet he made when he first started learning kendo from Tetsu Michiko.

However, if Tetsuya Chiko were to be truly honest and honor the bet, Chen Nuo would find himself in a dilemma.

But regardless, let's explain the bunny girl thing first. Chen Nuo could clearly feel that Tie Zhuyu, who was sitting on the ground, was looking at him with a dangerous gaze.

So Chen Nuo quickly went over and said politely, "I'm so sorry to have made you feel wronged. Please take off these shameful clothes."

Tetsuya Chiko was so frightened that she took a step back.

Ignoring the pain in his feet, Tie Zhuyu sprang to his feet, biting Chen Nuo's shoulder while shaking his head violently: "Bastard, get those filthy thoughts out of your head!"

"How dare you say that to me? The content of the works in your studio is a million times dirtier than I think, isn't it?" Chen Nuo couldn't help but retort.

Tie Zhuyu was furious: "Slander! This is slander! My paintings are all works of art."

Tetsuya Chiko sneered, "So you really wanted to, didn't you?"

Chen Nuo completely ignored Tie Michiko's question and continued to shift the focus of the battle to Tie Zhuyu: "Ah, right! I suddenly remembered the oil painting of a woman eating on the floor that I saw in the studio last time. It looks a bit like Mrs. Michiko."

Tie Zhuyu: "I didn't! You've mistaken me!"

Tetsuko's expression shifted between light and dark, clearly on the verge of exploding: "Moryu, I remember you moved all your things from the art studio into the room, right? I happen to be in the mood now, so take me to see it."

Tie Zhuyu's face turned pale, then his eyes darted around: "Oh dear! I forgot something important in the studio."

After saying that, she kicked Chen Nuo hard with her bare feet in black stockings and darted away like a cat.

Chen Nuo grabbed her slender leg and threw her into Tetsuya's arms: "Your most important task today is to take this beating."

Tie Zhuyu glared angrily: "Bastard! I won't let you get away with this!"

Tetsu Michiko, holding the petite Tetsuyu, bowed slightly to him politely: "Then let's go back to our room to change first, and talk again at dinner."

Chen Nuo: "Take care. Please don't hesitate to ask me for help if you need it."

Tetsuya smiled and said, "There is indeed something I need to trouble you with. I'd like to ask for an empty room next to Zhu Yu's. If you have time, come over and take care of her."

Also, I saw there's a vacant lot behind the castle, and I'm planning to move our family's kendo dojo there. Of course, I'll cover all the expenses, and you can also use this dojo to recruit students.

Chen Nuo was shocked: "You're moving here too? And you're moving the kendo dojo here with you?"

“Yes, after I slew the evil heretics at the air show not long ago, my inner demons also disappeared. I feel that my swordsmanship is showing signs of a breakthrough, but I haven’t been able to find a way. I was thinking that if I could spar with you often, it might help my swordsmanship breakthrough,” Tetsuko explained.

Chen Nuo noticed that when she was explaining, her beautiful legs in black stockings, tucked into high heels, stretched slightly forward—this is a starting stance that kendo masters often adopt before a duel, as it helps them generate more power and defeat their opponents.

But paired with this bunny girl outfit, it just feels like things are starting to get a little suggestive.

Chen Nuo: "No problem, I will do my best to defeat you."

Tie Zhuyu suddenly raised his hand and interjected, "I want to join too! Isn't there a tradition of 'Yuanli Jigu' in swordsmanship? Let's see who can last the longest!"

There is indeed a training method in Kendo called "Genritsu".

It involves a kendo athlete battling dozens of opponents continuously, challenging their physical and mental limits. Sometimes the fights can last from morning until night, with only brief meals and bathroom breaks during the process. The rest of the time is spent engaged in kendo combat.

However, this is usually a challenge that only skilled swordsmen choose when they want to break through their own limits.

Chen Nuo looked at Tie Zhuyu with a complicated expression.

He's not afraid of a proper Genjutsu, since the power he's given is there. But if it's a Genjutsu performed while wearing a bunny girl outfit, then he might have to ask Ai Haibara for some kind of advanced technology to replenish his stamina.

After Tetsuko finished speaking, she took Tetsuyu back to her room to admire the paintings.

The two had barely left when Chen Nuo heard the crisp sound of high heels clicking on the ground behind him.

A few seconds later, Vermouth, dressed in a maid outfit, appeared behind him, holding a rusty hammer.

Chen Nuo couldn't help but complain, "What the hell are you doing? Why are you making the guests wear bunny girl outfits?"

Vermouth: "Strange? You don't like it? I went through a lot of trouble to convince those two."

Chen Nuo said sternly, "You will ruin my reputation."

"Then let's implement it internally only?" Vermouth probed.

Chen Nuo hesitated for a moment: "Would you... wear the same outfit as Shirley?"

Vermouth smiled knowingly: "Ah, so you like this kind of thing. Although I'm her sworn enemy, if you like it... it's not impossible."

Chen Nuo cleared his throat: "By the way, what are you doing with that hammer? Why are you all dirty? Did you go to fix a chimney?"

Vermouth's maid outfit was covered in dust and dirt, and her white stockings were torn and tattered, but she looked even more alluring than before.

Vermouth: "Such a big castle can't be left unprotected. I just went to check the castle's defense system."

"You did all of this by yourself?"

Vermouth shook her head: "Sherry also helped. I was just checking the equipment. By the way, would you like to take a tour of your new territory, Lord?"

Chen Nuo thought for a moment and said, "That's fine."

Afterwards, Vermouth gave Chen Nuo a brief tour of the castle's defense system.

During the process, the results of the deal with a certain force were also explained to Chen Nuo. The process was complicated, but in summary, it can be said that Chen Nuo no longer needs to work for the Black Organization, and Vermouth and the Miyano sisters have also temporarily left the organization.

Of course, this safety period may not be permanent.

Vermouth estimated that there would be no danger for about ten years, and after that, it would depend on whether that power would decline.

However, Chen Nuo didn't care. In five years, given enough time, his cheat ability would be able to cut down helicopters with a knife. Chen Nuo planned to then storm the Black Organization and kill them all to eliminate any future troubles.

Back in reality, Vermouth gave Chen Nuo a manual that detailed how to trigger the mechanisms inside the castle.

The variety of these early warning facilities gave Chen Nuo the illusion that he had entered a security equipment exhibition hall.

These things didn't exist before. The old lady hadn't lived here for a long time. Even when she did live here, she wouldn't have turned the castle into a small war fortress. At most, she would have hired a few more bodyguards or something.

Chen Nuo was initially worried that it might affect her daily life.

However, after a detailed investigation, it was found that most of the mechanisms were non-lethal early warning systems, and their locations were cleverly designed so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.

After wandering around for a while, Vermouth finally led Chen Nuo to the depths of the castle.

The two descended the stone steps to the lowest stone chamber.

The place was dimly lit, and all sorts of props were displayed around it, including ropes, whips, wooden racks, and the like.

Vermouth explained, "This is where prisoners are interrogated. If a suspicious intruder is caught, they can be brought here for questioning first."

Chen Nuo couldn't help but complain: "We're law-abiding citizens now, right? There's no need to do this kind of thing. We could just call Inspector Megure and have him come and pick us up."

Vermouth: "This is just what is said publicly. Generally speaking, the Metropolitan Police Department will be notified when criminals are caught."

"Then what is the real purpose?" Chen Nuo asked curiously.

Vermouth smiled mysteriously, then casually picked up a necklace from the wall and handed it to Chen Nuo.

It was a women's necklace with a red leather strap and a pendant in the center that was a ball the size of a small fist.

Chen Nuo was shocked. He hadn't noticed it earlier because of the dim lighting, but now he realized that everything here seemed a bit improper.

"Help me put it on." Vermouth walked up to him, brushed a strand of platinum blonde hair behind her ear, and said softly.

See the picture poorly.

Chen Nuo then realized that the wicked woman had taken him around the castle for most of the day, and had been dribbling and bumping into people every now and then, all in order to steal food from him.

Although Chen Nuo wanted to criticize the other party's behavior, he suddenly realized that as the owner of the castle, he had a responsibility to decide whether or not to abolish the prison.

Before making a decision, let's check the results first.

Chen Nuo carefully helped Vermouth put on the pendant.

Vermouth's sexy red lips outlined a charming curve, and the long-lost graceful curves under her maid outfit instantly evoked Chen Nuo's fond memories.

Unfortunately, just as the atmosphere began to become somewhat delicate, a rapid electronic sound came from Vermouth's arm. It sounded like an alarm.

Vermouth rolled up her sleeves and quickly tapped the display screen on her watch.

Soon, footage appeared of the castle's main gate. In the footage, Sato Miwako, dressed in a uniform and carrying a large cream cake, was looking up at the patterns on the wall above her. She seemed to have spotted the camera's location.

Chen Nuo asked curiously, "Why did the alarm go off? She was just standing at the door and didn't do anything dangerous."

Vermouth looked somewhat embarrassed and explained vaguely, "This surveillance system was bought cheaply from the Metropolitan Police Department's auction. Some settings haven't been debugged yet. Right now, it seems to have a program that will sound an alarm when it sees a uniformed police officer."

"So what do we do now?"

Vermouth: "Can I go say hello and arrange for her to be seated on the first floor?"

"Whatever," Chen Nuo said, then reminded her, "Take your things off first, or I'll definitely be kidnapped by Miwako if you go out like this."

Vermouth removed the pendant from her mouth and smiled, "Your worries are unnecessary. Even if she's discovered, I'll make her behave."

Chen Nuo recalled Vermouth's methods and felt that with Sato Miwako's reckless personality, she was probably no match for her: "I won't trouble you, I prefer to do it myself."

No sooner had Vermouth left than the dungeon walls began to hum.

As if some mechanism was in operation, the stone walls parted to the sides, revealing a long staircase, and the faint sound of footsteps could be heard as people descended the stairs.

Chen Nuo was startled, wondering what was going on!

Could this place also have a design similar to Mitsuru Mamiya's castle, where you might fall into a tunnel while walking around?

The footsteps grew closer, and soon Xiao Lan, carrying a mop, appeared in front of Chen Nuo.

"Huh? Chen Nuo? What are you doing here?" Xiao Lan looked around in surprise, and then blushed when she saw the strange torture instruments.

"I was checking the castle to see if there was anything that needed repair," Chen Nuo explained. "How did you get down here? Did you run into some kind of trap?"

"I was cleaning your room when I accidentally bumped into a flowerpot by the window, and a passage appeared in the wall," Xiaolan explained.

Chen Nuo nodded. It seemed that this was a secret room that the first owner of the castle had created for himself, probably a place to store some important items and treasures, which Vermouth then converted into a prison.

"Let's go back. The air here isn't good, and I'm feeling a bit unwell," Xiaolan said, grabbing Chen Nuo's arm.

Chen Nuo smiled and said, "Since we're already here, let's take a look around before we leave."
