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

But what should we do in this situation?

Is it kneeling on the ground begging for mercy and then pleading with the other party to let him go?

Or should I pretend nothing happened, pick up my clothes from the ground, and fight her again?

Or perhaps he could gently help her put on her clothes, then directly pursue her and find a way to become the man behind Michiko Tetsuya?

Chen Nuo had many options, but the constant stinging pain in his body made him follow his heart and make a choice that Tetsuya Chiko, who was stunned in place, never expected.

Chen Nuo bent down and picked up the bamboo knife that had fallen to the ground.

"Madam, once a swordsman draws his sword, he must focus on the enemy before him!"

Chen Nuo brandished his bamboo sword and charged forward.

Chapter 27 Xiaolan's request to have her back rubbed is a chaotic scene.

Bamboo swords clashed in the air, their crisp sounds echoing in the empty practice area.

Chen Nuo used a lot of force in that stab.

He wanted to vent all the frustration he felt from being beaten and suppressed earlier.

Although Tetsuko raised her sword to block, the immense force still bent the bamboo sword in her hand.

She had to take a step back, her bare feet making a noise as they scraped against the floor.

The bamboo knife rebounded instantly.

However, the force of the vibration was still transmitted to Tetsuya Chiko through the bamboo sword, spreading all over her body along her arms, and causing the fine beads of sweat clinging to her skin to be shaken into the air.

The beads of sweat lingered in mid-air for a moment.

The moonlight streaming through the window shone through the beads of sweat, making the already glistening beads even more dazzling and radiant.

It was like a curtain of diamonds in the rain.

Chen Nuo gave Tetsuya no time to catch her breath; he plunged into the rain and launched a second attack.

Fine raindrops pattered on his face, cool and refreshing, while the rich aroma of milk filled his nostrils.

However, Chen Nuo was not disturbed.

He was more focused than ever, relentlessly pressuring Tetsumi Chiko.

As it turns out, armor does not only provide physical protection.

Once she lost the protection of her kendo uniform, Tetsu Michiko instantly transformed from a fierce tigress into a vulnerable little rabbit.

Faced with Chen Nuo's attacks, she could only barely parry.

Finally, Chen Nuo found an opportunity and slammed the bamboo knife hard into her upper arm.

With a crisp sound, a red mark appeared on her snow-white skin.

Chen Nuo temporarily suspended his attack.

He had assumed that Tetsuya Chiko would intervene or threaten him with Eri Kisaki.

Unexpectedly, the expression on her face was... somewhat satisfied?

You don't have some kind of special fetish, do you, ma'am?

Chen Nuo decided to go back and speak to Gin to see if he could help resolve the matter; he really didn't want to deal with this crazy woman.

Chen Nuo thought to himself, but his hands didn't stop.

With each slash, crisscrossing red marks appeared on Tetsuya Chiko's snow-white skin.

Chen Nuo felt that it was about time, and seizing an opportunity, he knocked her bamboo knife to the ground.

In Kendo rules, having your sword knocked away is equivalent to losing.

Just as Chen Nuo was about to declare his victory, the door behind him was suddenly pulled open.

A gust of wind blew in, scattering Tetsuya's shoulder-length curly hair.

Chen Nuo turned around and saw a little girl in a kendo training uniform standing at the door. She was not tall and looked like a junior high school student. She seemed to be here to practice as well.

"go out."

Tetsuko said in an emotionless tone.

The little girl didn't say anything, and simply closed the door.

When Chen Nuo turned around, Tetsuya Chiko had already put on her bathrobe and was casually tidying her messy hair.

"Your performance was more perfect than I expected," Tetsuko said with a light laugh.

"Perfect?"

Tetsuko continued, "When I first saw the wounds on the shoulders of those yakuza, I thought you were a genius who was obsessed with swordsmanship."

After meeting you, your demeanor initially led me to believe you were highly talented but disliked being constrained. However, I've now changed my mind.

Chen Nuo: "What's your opinion?"

“You’re a rude and unscrupulous scumbag,” Tetsumi Chiko said.

Chen Nuo gripped the bamboo knife tighter again, glanced at the red marks under the collar of her bathrobe, and wondered if he should give her a few more stabs.

"Alright," Tetsuya Chiko said, frowning. "That was just a test. If you make a move now, you'll have to bear the consequences yourself."

Chen Nuo: "What exactly do you mean?"

Tetsuko: "The level of kendo mastery is closely related to a person's state of mind. The more profound the kendo master, the purer their heart."

Therefore, I really can't understand how someone like you, who uses such vulgar tactics, can have swordplay that gives off a sense of sophistication.

Chen Nuo thought that was because all of my moves were given to me by cheat codes.

Tetsuko continued, "But that's fine too. If someone like you can defeat him, his Dao heart will definitely collapse."

Tetsuko looked at him as if he were an expensive treasure.

Chen Nuo is now basically certain.

The person that Tetsuya Michiko asked him to fight was Tetsuken Juro.

What a crazy woman.

So what if her husband ran away from home? For some inexplicable revenge, she deliberately allowed herself to be beaten with a bamboo knife by a stranger under such circumstances.

She seems like the kind of terrifying woman who would stop at nothing to seek revenge.

Chen Nuo felt that if he cooperated with this kind of person, he might be betrayed one day.

I should agree to her first, then go back and find out from Gin. If possible, I'll ask Gin to help me sort things out.

The Black Organization must control quite a few people in the business and political circles, right? I just don't know if they can actually get a word in edgewise.

He didn't want to fight someone like Tetsuken Juro.

Chen Nuo was about to speak.

dong dong!

There was another knock on the door.

Tetsuko picked up the kendo uniforms that were scattered on the ground.

"Come in."

The butler pushed open the door and walked to her side, whispering, "Mr. Kondo's assistant has arrived."

Tetsuko frowned, then said to Chen Nuo, "Wait here for me a moment. I have an important guest to meet. We'll talk about the cooperation later."

After finishing her sentence, Tetsuya turned and left.

The butler single-handedly carried the burly, dark-faced man who had fainted on the ground on his shoulder, and then left the training ground with elegant steps.

It seems this butler is no ordinary person.

After Tetsu Michiko left, Chen Nuo first called Xiao Lan to tell her that the situation here had stabilized and to stop Xiao Lan from coming to the Tetsu family.

He felt that since they had already entered the negotiation stage, Xiaolan's arrival might make things more complicated.

Xiao Lan initially disagreed, but Chen Nuo persuaded her to find a place nearby to wait patiently.

After resolving matters here, Tetsuya Chiko hadn't returned yet, leaving Chen Nuo alone in the entire training ground.

Chen Nuo was getting annoyed, unsure how long she would talk.

Just then, his stomach started rumbling in protest, and he realized that he hadn't eaten dinner yet.

Eri had just finished making her noodles when that group of people interrupted her.

Chen Nuo pushed open the door and walked towards the villa, wanting to find someone to ask Tetsuya Chiko how much longer it would take to finish, and also to find something to eat.

Walking down the spacious corridor, Chen Nuo discovered that this villa truly resembled a castle.

There are many rooms, and the layout is intricate.

It feels like I could get lost if I'm not careful.

The walls of the corridor are uniformly decorated with intricate patterns, giving it the feel of a European aristocratic castle, and large oil paintings are hung on the walls at intervals.

The oil paintings contain flowers, landscapes, and incomprehensible lines, but more importantly, they depict Tetsuya Chiko herself.

They exist from various periods, and the women in the oil paintings always have a gentle smile on their faces. They don't look like the type who would be whipped with a bamboo sword by a strange man in a kendo dojo.

Perhaps it was because Tetsuya Michiko preferred quiet, but Chen Nuo walked for a long time without seeing a single person.

Just when Chen Nuo was about to give up.

He suddenly saw a furtive figure wearing a black hoodie in front of the window at the end of the corridor.

Judging from the figure from behind, it was clearly not the size of an adult. The person was crouching down and busy at the window, looking like a large black rat.

Chen Nuo's heart sank.

Could it be that brat Conan sneaked in?

This feels like something Conan would do; he's always pretty reckless in the movies.

Chen Nuo lowered his footsteps, walked up behind Conan, and covered his mouth with his hand.
