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

The person who had previously made him feel greatly threatened was this Mr. Chen En.

His previous encounter with Okita Souji made him realize just how skilled he was to defeat Okita Souji in swordsmanship and to crush and instantly kill him unarmed.

The fight with Okita Souji just now has already put Iori Muga under immense pressure.

If Ooka Momiji suddenly has a change of heart at this moment, let him go and fight Chen En one-on-one.

Wouldn't he be smashed into hero fragments with three punches?

Oh, he probably won't even last three punches.

Iori Muga immediately took a half step back, shielding Ooka Momiji in front of him, and whispered in his ear.

“Miss, this is the person who fought Okita Souji in the kendo club earlier, and also the one I told you about who made me feel very dangerous…”

"When you came out of the kendo club earlier, you probably only caught a glimpse of it and didn't see it clearly."

Ooka Autumn Leaves: ?

Hmm? Was that the person who just saw that?

Her gaze shifted to the kind-looking person next to her, who was holding a coffee cup. Then, after thinking about Iori Muga's description, she couldn't see what was dangerous about this person.

He then frowned and asked.

Do you bring a butler or bodyguards when you travel?

"I thought your Suzuki family wasn't going to make this trip... Fine, I won't argue with you. What exactly are you doing in Kyoto Prefecture? Are you trying to steal my darling away?"

"Let me tell you, you can forget about it."

"After all, he and I have already pledged our lives to each other."

Upon hearing this, Sonoko Suzuki subconsciously turned to look at Ran Mouri.

Before Chen En was around, she often jokingly referred to Ran Mouri as her bodyguard, so when Ooka Momiji said that, she subconsciously shifted her attention to Ran Mouri.

Then it dawned on me that the bodyguard Ooka Koyo was referring to was most likely Chen En.

Then he turned to look at Chen En, and realized that the second half of Ooka Momiji's sentence was about Hattori Heiji. A look of surprise appeared in his eyes, and he didn't understand why Ooka Momiji was breathing so heavily.

"...He's not my bodyguard, he's my boyfriend."

Sonoko Suzuki quietly corrected her.

"I don't have bodyguards or butlers with me like you do."

"What era are we living in? How can they still do this kind of thing?"

...Is my boyfriend really that good at fighting?

These words left Ooka Momiji speechless.

She thought for a moment, then suddenly realized that her fiancé seemed to be quite capable in a fight. If she said anything detrimental to Chen En at this moment, it would seem to implicate her fiancé as well.

So, Ooka Momiji finally gave up on the idea and turned to Hattori Heiji, speaking seriously.

"Now that you've come to Kyoto Prefecture, Heiji, come with me to see Grandpa."

"Although we were engaged when we were young, this is something that Grandpa needs to take a look at first... Don't worry, if I want to, I can definitely succeed."

Such an attitude can only be described as resolute.

Even the shop assistants behind the counter couldn't help but cover their mouths.

What is this? Is it some kind of love story from a morning drama?

A young lady from a prestigious family chooses to confront her high-ranking elder in order to be with the man she is betrothed to. What kind of romantic drama will unfold after that?

The next moment, Hattori Heiji said speechlessly.

"...That's completely untrue!"

Shop assistant: ?

An unexpected twist?

Chapter 1268 The Karuta Tournament of My Childhood

The shop assistant, who had just been moved by the love between the two, suddenly couldn't hold back her emotions.

Hey, hey, hey, what do you mean by "that's not true at all"?

Even Okita Souji looked up at Hattori Heiji in astonishment, his expression one of disbelief.

I thought you were already unethical enough.

I never expected you to secretly pledge your life to someone else and then go back on your word. It's just so unreasonable.

How could I, Okita Souji, be compared to a swordsman like you?

Just as Okita Souji raised his eyebrows, preparing to unleash his attack.

Kazuha Toyama hurriedly said.

"That's what I meant."

"That's impossible. Heiji never even came to Kyoto when he was a child. How could he have made a lifelong commitment to you when you were kids? Besides, Heiji says he doesn't know you."

A strange sense of panic welled up inside her.

Despite the fact that she and Hattori Heiji were childhood friends.

However, deep down, she also felt that she was not good enough for Hattori Heiji, which made her feel a little disappointed when she talked to Ran Mouri about Hattori Heiji. She said that if Ran Mouri competed with her for Heiji.

That's why she definitely can't compete with Ran Mouri no matter what.

Now, a girl has appeared in front of her who clearly expresses her love for Hattori Heiji, and even claims to be Hattori Heiji's fiancée. She is better than her in every way.

It instantly ignited the emotions hidden deep within my heart.

Ooka Momiji, however, seemed somewhat skeptical.

"Have you forgotten our childhood promise?"

“I heard you clearly at the time…you said you wanted to marry me in the future.”

...No way, how could such a thing happen?

Hattori Heiji smirked and said.

"How could such a thing be? There's no such thing at all!"

"Don't create memories for me that don't exist."

"You mentioned a childhood promise... I think my memory is pretty good. If you really did make such a promise, then can you tell me exactly when and where I met you and made that promise?"

Hattori Heiji's words made Toyama Kazuha clench her little fists and look at Ooka Momiji intently.

If Ooka Momiji couldn't say exactly when and where it happened.

This means that either Ooka Momiji is mistaken or he is lying.

Either way, it means she still has hope.

Okita Souji could tell from Hattori Heiji's resolute expression that Hattori Heiji didn't seem to be lying. However, he had known Ooka Momiji for a long time, so he didn't think Ooka Momiji was lying either.

For a moment, he was holding a bamboo knife, unsure of which side to stand on.

His intuition as a genius swordsman was remarkably sharp.

However, under these circumstances, his genius and keen insight had already lost their original power.

It looked like this place was about to turn into a scene of carnage at noon.

President Umehara drove back at just the right moment, bringing two pastry chefs and several boxes of chocolate-flavored Kyoto Bird as gifts, only to be suddenly caught off guard by the situation before him.

What, what's going on?

Why is the store decorated like this?

Does that mean I came at the wrong time?

At that moment, Sonoko Suzuki waved to President Umehara and mouthed the words quietly.

"You've come at just the right time."

"Quickly send over the Kyoto Bird, let's eat and watch together."

Although Umehara Kozo didn't know what was going on, he still followed them in and distributed the chocolate-flavored Kyoto Bird to Chen En and the others, then whispered something in Chen En's ear.

"Sir, although your reasoning skills are excellent, you can't drink coffee while eating dessert."

Chen En paused for a moment, then finally put his coffee cup away.

In a Kyoto shop, you have to give the owner some face.

At this moment, Ooka Momiji also spoke without hesitation.

"It was about ten years ago... I participated in a karuta tournament back then."

"Heiji also participated in that karuta tournament as a temporary participant, and he defeated me in my match. Because I had never lost a karuta tournament before, I cried nonstop..."

"At that time, Heiji gently comforted me and made a promise to me that he would marry me in the future."

Karuta? Are you kidding me? Heiji Hattori would never know how to play karuta.

Upon hearing this, everyone present immediately realized that Ooka Momiji must have misremembered.

Everyone turned to look at Hattori Heiji, ready to see how he would refute Ooka Momiji, only to see Hattori Heiji twitch the corner of his mouth, unsure of what to say.

Kazuha Toyama was about to retort, but when she saw Heiji Hattori seemingly deep in thought, she was momentarily stunned.

Then, Hattori Heiji gasped and said.

"...There really was a karuta tournament ten years ago."

"Although I'm not really interested in karuta anymore, I did participate in that competition. I think I actually met a girl who cried after I beat her... I think I did comfort her at the time."

"But I don't recall ever making any promise to marry you, do I?"

He tried hard to recall what he had said to Ooka Momiji when he comforted her, but it was a long time ago, and he wasn't particularly interested in it, so he couldn't remember for the moment and asked instead.
