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

"Do you still remember what I told you back then?"

Although he couldn't recall it, Hattori Heiji probably thought that Ooka Momiji was misheard as something like a homophone.

He would never tell anyone that he wanted to marry her; that's pure nonsense.

Ooka Momiji, however, said with a smile.

"I never expected that you would still remember what happened back then, my dear."

"In that case, shall we reminisce together slowly later?"

"The words you recall yourself are the most powerful."

Her attention then turned to Kazuha Toyama.

Then, Ooka Momiji shook her head slightly and said.

"I know you, Toyama Kazuha."

"You're really an amateur in this regard. You've been with Heiji for so long, but you still haven't realized how good he is, nor have you formed a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship with him."

“My teacher taught me that the card I’ve set my sights on will never be taken by anyone else.”

"So, you'd better give up now, you're just an ordinary and inconspicuous little leaf. Compared to a red leaf like me, you have no chance of winning."

The sudden reversal of the situation prompted Suzuki Sonoko to create two more Kyoto birds and whisper in Chen En's ear.

"Arn, what exactly is going on?"

To this, Chen En simply replied...

"Just you wait and see, the match is about to start."

Sonoko Suzuki: ?

Chapter 1269 Satsuki Cup

Sonoko Suzuki was still somewhat skeptical of Chen En's words.

The next moment, she saw Ooka Momiji say something quite blunt.

"I advise you to leave my future husband as soon as possible."

"If you stay here like this, you'll only get hurt. I'm doing this for your own good. After all, you're a complete novice when it comes to both dating and romance. If you get caught up in the wind, you'll be covered in wounds."

These words immediately caused Toyama Kazuha to clench her fists slightly.

She said it earnestly.

"I'm not an amateur!"

"It's the same whether it's love or karuta!"

Upon hearing this, Ooka Momiji immediately responded.

"Alright, in that case, let's have a match?"

The young lady from a prestigious family narrowed her eyes slightly.

"Let's use karuta as the game."

"Since you say you're not an outsider when it comes to karuta, then you must have heard of the Satsuki Cup, the karuta tournament that decides the next karuta queen, right?"

Upon hearing this, a look of bewilderment appeared in Toyama Kazuha's eyes.

Is it the Sagaku Cup?

She glanced at Hattori Heiji slightly, and Hattori Heiji blinked, seemingly looking completely bewildered. Toyama Kazuha immediately forced herself to turn to Ooka Momiji and said.

"I...of course I've heard about it!"

Upon hearing this, Ooka Momiji immediately closed his folding fan and tapped it lightly.

"In that case, let's use the Satsuki Cup as the competition."

"I think you might not know my name, but I can tell you that I am currently the best karuta player among high school students, and I am known as the future karuta queen."

"So I'm 100% guaranteed to advance to the Satsuki Cup finals."

"If you can participate in the Satsuki Cup and defeat me in the finals, then I will concede and let you confess to Heiji first. But if you lose, it's the same."

"You can't stop me from confessing to Heiji, do you understand?"

...Just hearing that name sounds terrifying.

After only a moment's hesitation, Toyama Kazuha made up his mind and spoke earnestly.

"I understand, I will definitely beat you in the Satsuki Cup!"

Such a statement sounds even more reckless and impulsive.

She's a complete novice when it comes to chorus.

She's not even in the same league as Momiji Ooka, who rose to fame in the karuta world.

Even Iori Muga, who was the butler, couldn't help but frown slightly.

It seems a bit unfair to bully a karuta novice like this, doesn't it?

However, if it's the young lady's decision...

Love is a game of offense and defense; someone always has to win.

That's not necessarily a bad thing.

Watching Ooka Momiji leave the Kyoto Bird store under Iori Muga's protection.

Hattori Heiji's brows furrowed slightly.

"Tsk, really, didn't they even ask for my opinion?"

"It's like I'm some kind of prize in a competition."

He seemed slightly annoyed by this.

He knew perfectly well that what he had said to Ooka Momiji back then wasn't what Ooka Momiji had said about marrying her in the future, but now he just couldn't remember what he had said to this guy.

Now they don't even have a chance to clarify.

Kazuha also felt a little guilty and uneasy at this time.

Heiji's opinion was indeed not sought beforehand.

However, she will not give up on this aspect.

The sales clerk, who had just witnessed a good show, called President Umehara aside and whispered what had just happened to him, which immediately surprised President Umehara.

Is this a scenario that could happen in the real world?

Did I accidentally stumble into some kind of Galagame game world? Is this still in China?

It was clear that Hattori Heiji seemed to be getting a little irritated and his attitude was becoming somewhat bad.

As an adult, Kogoro Mouri immediately advised Heiji Hattori and Kazuha Toyama to calm down and talk about it after dinner. Souji Okita and Tetsuroha naturally had no objection to this.

Since he's already here, he'll definitely go with Tie Zhuyu and Chen En to meet Aunt Michiko.

He was also curious about what gave Yu Toyama and Kazuha the confidence to challenge Ooka Momiji to a duel.

Could this person also be some unknown karuta master?

……

At a nearby restaurant, Sonoko Suzuki asked Kazuha Toyama with some curiosity.

"By the way, why would Heiji participate in that kind of karuta tournament?"

"And then he got involved with that kind of troublesome woman."

"Didn't he always want to be a famous detective? Why would he be involved in this karuta tournament? He seems to know absolutely nothing about karuta now. This is all too strange."

To this, Toyama Kazuha said with some frustration.

"When I heard about the karuta tournament, I knew that what Ms. Ooka said was probably true."

"Although Heiji isn't interested in karuta."

"But Heiji's mother, Shizuka, was actually the former karuta queen. She was most skilled at karuta. Heiji was influenced by Shizuka when he was young and also knew some karuta skills."

"So, it would be perfectly normal for Heiji to participate in the karuta tournament and defeat Ms. Ooka..."

"However, I know absolutely nothing about karuta. I made this decision on a whim, and I don't know what to do with it..."

Hearing this, Hattori Heiji sighed and said.

"So don't agree to things you're not sure about."

"Besides, there's no need to compete with her in this kind of thing, because I could never accept her confession, and I have absolutely no recollection of any of the promises he made about his fiancée, which means it's not true at all."

Seeing that the Kansai detective seemed to be getting agitated again, Ran Mouri quickly pressed Heiji down again.

The atmosphere at the dinner table seemed a little less than optimistic.

Sitting next to Kazuha Toyama, Sonoko Suzuki couldn't help but move slightly towards Chen En and asked in a low voice.

"Ah, do you know how to help Kazuha win her match against that guy from the Ooka family?"

You wouldn't even call her Miss Ooka.

Chen En twitched the corner of his mouth and then said.

"Even if I were Doraemon, it wouldn't mean I could play karuta, would it?"

"The one who tied the knot must untie it. This matter originated from Ms. Hattori Shizuka's exposure to Hattori Heiji's karuta playing, so naturally, Ms. Hattori Shizuka should help resolve it."

"It would be fine to have Ms. Jinghua give Ms. He Ye special training in karuta..."

Moreover, if this matter is not allowed to continue, and another opportunity is found to explain it...

There might be other changes at that time.

It's better to follow the established steps.
