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

"After all, you know that person didn't even finish high school. I was thinking about when I would defeat Iron Sword and then confess to my sweetheart. Anyway, you already know that my sweetheart is Zhu Yu, so I won't hide it anymore."

"Anyway, if that guy finds out I like Zhu Yu, he'll probably say something like, 'I'll beat him first.'"

Chen En: ?

The gap between you and Iron Sword is even greater than the gap between you and those mediocre members of your kendo club.

How do you have such confidence?

However, self-confidence is not necessarily a bad thing.

You should always have dreams; what if they come true?

Chapter 1259 Tie Zhuyu

Chen En had no intention of going into further detail with Okita Souji about the Iron Sword's combat capabilities.

After speaking briefly with Okita Souji about the Iron Sword that Okita Souji knew, he turned to inquire about the current situation of Tetsuro, Tetsuro Michiko, and Tetsuro Juro.

Although somewhat confused, Okita Souji spoke frankly.

"Tetsuken Juro? I've heard he's a very skilled swordsman."

"It is said that even when Tetsuken and Onimaru Takeshi fought Tetsuken Juro, he was always the one who was defeated. However, it is also said that he has a wandering habit, has no fixed abode, and never stays in one place for more than three days."

"He is a very irresponsible person; even Aunt Michiko can't contact him."

“I remember when Tetsuken was still adventuring with Tetsuken Juro, Aunt Michiko told Moro directly that Tetsuken Juro was the murderer of Moro’s father, so she told her to tell her mother when she saw Tetsuken Juro.”

...Oh my god, biology!

Chen En twitched the corners of his mouth, unsure how to comment on Tetsuya Chiko for a moment.

But then I thought about it again, and it seems that the roles of mothers in that era were all pretty much the same.

They all possess a certain degree of inexplicable obsessiveness.

For example, Ranma 1/2.

Ranma's mother is clearly a very gentle Yamato Nadeshiko, but she carries a samurai sword every day because of a casual promise Ranma's father made to her that if Ranma didn't have the spirit of a samurai, he would have Ranma and his father commit seppuku.

Perhaps it carries a contrasting attribute...?

He simply couldn't understand it.

Then, Chen En stroked his chin and asked.

"If that's the case, then it means that Tetsuo Michiko made Tetsuo learn swordsmanship so that he could avenge Tetsuo? So that one day he would master swordsmanship and seek revenge on Tetsuo Kenjuro?"

Upon hearing this, Okita Souji looked at Chen En with a strange expression, then shook his head and said.

"No, no, Aunt Michiko doesn't allow Moroha to learn kendo."

"Although Aunt Michiko is also a very skilled kendo master, she believes that the reason why Tetsuken Juro became like that, a homeless person with a vagrant mentality, is because he learned kendo, so she doesn't allow Moroha to learn it too."

"Because after Tetsukima learned kendo from Tetsukima Juro, he disappeared not long after returning home and didn't even go to high school."

Chen En: ?

Now that you put it that way, I think I can understand it now.

No wonder they didn't let Tie Zhuyu learn swordsmanship.

So there are two precedents to learn from.

However, he knew that Tetsuya Chiko's good intentions were ultimately in vain.

Because Tetsuyu still learned swordsmanship.

Not only did he learn Kendo, but he also possessed a considerable level of Kendo skill.

He finally asked.

"So, where is Mrs. Tetsuya living now?"

This question stumped Okita Souji.

Don't tell me others don't know; he doesn't know either.

Tie Zhuyu has always come to school on his own.

He had never actually been to Tie Zhuyu's house.

Therefore, after stroking his chin and pondering for a long time, Okita Souji helplessly shrugged.

"That's a tricky question, I don't know the answer either."

"When Zhu Yu arrives, you can go and ask him directly."

...Wait until Zhu Yu arrives?

A hint of surprise appeared in Chen En's eyes.

You mean Tie Zhuyu will come?

The next moment, a clear and slightly heroic girl's voice rang out beside Chen En and Okita Souji.

"...What do you want to ask me?"

Chen En and Okita Souji both turned to look at the source of the sound.

The person standing before them was none other than Tie Zhuyu from Quanxin Kingdom.

She had chestnut-brown, shoulder-length curly hair with a headband, and wore a blue long dress that served as her school uniform. A hint of suspicion appeared on her face, and she carried a bamboo knife that was wrapped up tightly on her back.

Although Tetsu Michiko never allowed Tetsu Moroha to learn kendo.

However, because of his father and brother, Tetsuyu was still determined to learn kendo.

To ensure her mother wouldn't discover he was learning kendo, she would often come to the high school to learn from Okita Souji, and over time, their relationship gradually improved.

Okita Souji, having grown up fighting with Tetsukken, often taught Tetsukken to practice swordsmanship, making them childhood friends.

(It's worth mentioning that these two have never even met in Dragon Ball. It just goes to show that Gosho Aoyama is quite adept at pairing up characters from his own works.)

"If you have any questions for me, just ask."

"Isn't it time for the kendo club to disband this afternoon?"

Tie Zhuyu said earnestly.

"I hope I can practice a little more this afternoon."

Upon hearing this, Chen En immediately responded.

"I would like to confirm your address and would like to contact Tetsuken Juro."

"Because of the iron sword, I think you need a certain level of protection."

Tie Zhuyu paused for a moment, then raised his head and asked with a hint of doubt.

"Wasn't my brother missing?"

Where did he go?

Chen En, Okita Souji: ?

What was Tie Jian doing there? He didn't even tell his own sister.

Even Tetsuken Juro and Tetsu Michiko probably don't know where Tetsuken is now.

Chen En originally wanted to say that the Iron Sword was on Mars.

Then, just as he was about to say it, he swallowed it back down.

There's nothing else to it, mainly because saying this might make me seem like a lunatic.

Therefore, he pondered for a moment before finally speaking.

"In short, your brother is not in any physical danger right now, but they might use you to threaten him."

"Therefore, protective measures need to be provided."

At this moment, he took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to Okita Souji and Tetsuyu.

"I haven't introduced myself yet, so let me introduce myself now."

"I am Chen En, the chairman of Chen En Enterprises."

Okita Souji had previously felt that Chen En looked somewhat familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him before.

Seeing the name on the business card now, I suddenly realized who it was.

"Ah, you're Chen En?!"

"I never expected you to have such high-level swordsmanship skills!"

"I thought a chairman like you wouldn't really like swords and spears."

Originally, Tie Zhuyu had no interest in what Chen En was saying, but at this moment he also raised his head.

She keenly grasped the key words.

"Your swordsmanship skills are very strong?"

In fact, deep down, Tie Zhuyu also harbors a dream of defeating his older brother, Tie Jian.

However, she herself has a very strong personality.

They believe that in a kendo duel, one must go all out.

Therefore, Tetsuyu was often whipped around like a top by Okita Souji and Tetsuken.

Now, that latent gyroscope-like quality is coming into play again.

Tie Zhuyu said earnestly.

"If you can beat me, then I'll take you to meet my mother."
