I'm in Detective Conan, and the system has appointed Batman.

"Besides, Brother Chen En is much stronger than me. That guy Okita can beat me... no, even that guy Okita might not be able to beat me, let alone Brother Chen En. Don't worry."

Chen En nodded slightly, took a sip of coffee, and said in a low voice.

"I'll go to Quanxin High School first, then we'll meet at the Kyoto Bird shop."

His intention seems to be to eliminate Okita Souji as soon as possible.

If someone else knew Okita Souji's strength, they might think Chen En's words were a bit arrogant.

However, once you understand Chen En's true identity and his true fighting ability, you won't have any doubts about this statement... After all, he's Batman.

"Then you should be extra careful."

Sonoko Suzuki waved goodbye.

Watching Chen En and Hattori Heiji get into the car and disappear from sight.

Kogoro Mouri, who was following behind the three girls, coughed twice and said.

"In that case, I'll go buy some bar wine first."

Ran Mouri: ?

I really need to get rid of your drinking problem.

Chapter 1253 Hattori's Teammate's Fiancée!

The taxi departed from the train station and headed towards Quanxin High School.

While on the bus, Hattori Heiji took out his phone and dialed Okita Souji's number, holding it to his ear and asking a question.

"Okita, are you at Izumi-shin High School now?"

"Didn't I tell you before that there's an even more skilled expert than me who's coming to challenge you to a duel? He's right next to me right now and is heading towards Quanxin High School. If you're at Quanxin High School, then let's have a duel."

"I bet you'll get beaten up even worse than me."

Okita Souji on the other end of the phone was somewhat surprised by these words.

"So, it seems this expert is truly formidable?"

"After all, Hattori, you're as stubborn as ever. For someone to beat you into submission, you must be really good... I'm at the Kendo Club of Izumi High School right now. Just come find me later."

"Oh, right, when we get to Quanxin High School, don't say anything out of line."

"Although I know that one of the girls in there does have a rather flamboyant way of doing things, if you say it out loud, you'll be in big trouble in Kyoto Prefecture."

"That guy has quite a few protectors; don't let it interfere with the upcoming sparring match."

Okita Souji gave a few instructions and then ended the call.

Hattori Heiji was somewhat confused by this.

There's a girl at Quanxin High School who acts in an flamboyant manner.

No, what does it matter to me how flamboyant her behavior is?

As long as they don't mess with me, I don't care what they say!

Hattori Heiji put his phone away, raised an eyebrow, and said directly.

"Chen En, Okita is in the kendo club."

"I'll take you there directly in a bit."

"Just pin him to the ground and beat him up. Don't hold back. I believe Okita isn't a narrow-minded person, and the newbies in the kendo club won't say much either."

...Why are you still thinking about pinning Okita Souji to the ground and beating him up?

Was it the incident where you were beaten up by Okita Souji and hospitalized last time that left you with a deep psychological scar?

Chen En couldn't help but complain in his heart, before remembering what Okita Souji had mentioned on the phone earlier.

If there is a girl with an flamboyant style, and she is at Quanxin High School.

Therefore, it can only refer to one of them.

That was Ooka Momiji, who also attended Izumi-shin High School.

As is well known, the Ooka family and the Suzuki family are considered the two local tyrants of the Kansai and Kanto regions, and Ooka Momiji is known as "Nishinosonoko" in Kyoto Prefecture.

And unlike the completely unpretentious Sonoko Suzuki, she is...

With her grandfather, a former prime minister, as her backer, Momiji Ooka is quite flamboyant in her behavior.

Such things include having a butler serve you tea during a kendo tournament, wanting to hire a helicopter to cruise around Hattori Heiji, or trying to bribe your opponent to forfeit in order to see Hattori Heiji win.

And all of this was simply because Ooka Momiji misheard what Hattori Heiji had said to her years ago.

The thought that Hattori Heiji might run into Ooka Momiji later made Chen En chuckle.

Heiji Hattori, completely unaware of what he might encounter next, was still excitedly recounting his countless battles with Okita Souji.

After talking for a while, he realized that Chen En didn't seem to care at all, so he asked in confusion.

"I know you are really good, much better than Okita."

"But why won't you listen to my experience dealing with Okita?"

"Carelessness can lead to disaster, you know?"

You're right, carelessness can lead to disaster.

Chen En didn't say much, but turned to look at the street scene rushing past the window, and then casually asked a question.

"Hattori, you told me before..."

“Okita Souji originally wanted to participate in a nearby high school kendo tournament, but when he heard that I was coming, he specially postponed the tournament and waited for me in Kyoto Prefecture.”

"How come I've never heard of a kendo league in Kyoto Prefecture?"

Unexpectedly, Hattori Heiji responded as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

"What Kyoto Prefecture?"

"The Kendo League will definitely be held in Tokyo."

"The National High School Kendo League has been held in Tokyo more than once or twice. If nothing unexpected happens, Onimaru Takeshi, the reigning champion, should also be participating, right?"

"I originally planned to participate in the competition, but I didn't register because I wanted to travel around Osaka and Kyoto prefectures with you."

"It's the same on Okita's side."

Chen En was admiring the street scene rushing past the window when he suddenly turned around.

Chen En: ?

When I type a question mark, does it mean I have a problem, or that I think you have a problem?

Are you currently in Kyoto Prefecture, while the Kendo League is in Tokyo?

Can this be considered the vicinity?

Do you have some misconceptions about the neighborhood?

Chen En wanted to say something, but then he remembered that Hattori Heiji was a genius who could tell Toyama Kazuha, who was far away in Osaka Prefecture, that he was nearby and would come over immediately. He was so angry that he laughed.

You told me earlier that this kendo league was going to be held in Tokyo.

Normally, Okita Souji and Onimaru Takeshi would both be at the venue to compete.

Why can't I just finish sightseeing in Osaka Prefecture and head straight back to Tokyo? Why bother meeting Okita Souji in Kyoto Prefecture, then going back to Tokyo to meet Onimaru Takeshi? Wouldn't it be faster to do both together?

Chen En pulled out a cup of coffee from somewhere, took a sip, and then said.

"...Hattori, there's something I don't know if you know?"

The sudden change in art style left Hattori Heiji somewhat puzzled.

Why are you suddenly asking me this now?

What should I know?

Hattori Heiji stared at Chen En with a puzzled look and asked.

How would I know if you didn't tell me?

Chen En took another sip of coffee and then spoke.

"There are some things that you won't understand just because I tell you."

Hattori Heiji:?

How would I understand if you didn't tell me?

Why are you keeping me in suspense?

Do you think my wooden sword is ineffective?

Seeing that Hattori Heiji seemed to want to turn his hood around, Chen En finally spoke leisurely.

"You should be able to meet a fiancée at Quanxin High School later."

Upon hearing this, Hattori Heiji immediately let out a sneer.

I wondered what it was, but it turns out to be a fiancée.

Then, he suddenly realized what was happening and his expression changed.

"What fiancée?"

"How come I didn't know I had a fiancée?"

"Are you kidding me?"

Hattori Heiji racked his brains but couldn't think of any female friends in Kyoto Prefecture who could be considered his fiancée.

Let alone female friends, he doesn't know a single girl in Kyoto Prefecture.

Oh, except for Tie Zhuyu.

After all, Quanxin Academy is actually a combination of Quanxin High School and Quanxin Junior High School.
