Chapter 443 Someone is cheating
early morning.
The rising sun gently shines on the quiet dojo on the eighth floor.
Hanyu Kusunoki, dressed in a black training suit, stands tall and straight. He and Xiaolan, who is also dressed in a white training suit, stand face to face with their bare feet firmly on the wooden board, each holding a wooden sword.
"My name is Hanyu Kusunoki. I have long heard of Miss Mao Lilan's great name, and today I have come to seek your advice."
Holding the training sword given by Master Jinghua, Hanyu Kusunoki made a standard starting gesture.
Seeing this, Xiaolan frowned slightly and bowed her hands in return: "Mr. Nan, please give me your guidance."
However, just as the two were facing each other and posing, Xiao Ai, who was sitting in the audience watching the fight, couldn't bear it anymore.
She curled her lips and shouted, "Are you two going to fight or not? You've been standing here for quite some time!"
Mingmei patted her head lightly and said angrily, "Xiao Ai, don't be so anxious. Master Hanyu is not just posing. He is creating an artistic conception."
"Ha ha……"
Xiao Ai scoffed at this.
What kind of artistic conception is this? He's obviously just trying to look cool.
Hanyu Kusunoki smiled, stopped procrastinating, and raised the sword in his hand.
If you look closely, you can see a golden ball inlaid on the top of the hilt.
The famous sword Dianguangwan.
"Xiaolan, look at the sword!"
With a light shout, Hanyu Kusunoki took the lead in attacking.
Xiaolan was quick-eyed and quick-handed, and raised her sword to block immediately.
Although she had never practiced swordsmanship before, she was able to barely cope with the attack thanks to her excellent physical fitness and quick reaction accumulated from long-term karate practice.
But just barely.
Because someone is cheating.
Hanyu Kusunoki held the sword in his hand with interest. He didn't even need to control it himself. The radar from the Electric Maru in the sword could accurately sense every move of Xiaolan and automatically counterattack.
Moreover, as his mind turned, he changed several sword techniques in succession in a short while, continuously feeding the sword to Xiaolan.
For a moment, the two of them fought back and forth, sword shadows intertwined, sword winds whistled, and it was difficult to tell who was better.
If Ikenami Shizuka saw this scene, she would be completely stunned.
It’s only been a few days since we last met, and yet my stupid disciple’s swordsmanship has become so advanced?
"Oh!"
The two swords collided, making a dull sound that echoed throughout the dojo.
Xiaolan couldn't bear the force and took several steps back before she could barely keep her balance.
Hanyu Kusunoki put away his sword and put it behind his back in a casual manner, with a relaxed smile on his face. He chuckled and said, "Okay, today's practice ends here. Xiaolan, you still need to work harder!"
Xiaolan raised her hand to wipe the sweat from her forehead and panted as she said, "Nan, you are really a genius. You have only learned sword skills from Aunt Jinghua for a few days, but you are already so powerful!"
As she spoke, she remembered what He Ye had said when she was showing off to her, and shook her head slightly, "He Ye actually said that you are so stupid, Nan, that you can't even stand properly, and you are punished by the master every day. Humph, I think she is lying again."
"Cough cough~"
Hanyu Kusunoki coughed lightly, with a humble look on his face, and waved his hand, saying, "No, no, it's just a small improvement. I'm not a genius."
But there was a look of pride between his eyebrows and eyes.
Seeing how proud he was, Xiao Ai couldn't help but roll her eyes.
Currently, only she and Hanyu Kusunoki know about the famous sword Denkomaru, and the other girls are completely unaware of it.
So, when she heard that Hanyu Kusunoki had specially chosen a woman named Ikenami Shizuka from Osaka as his teacher in order to learn swordsmanship, Xiao Ai immediately knew what he was planning.
Originally, Ai wanted to get angry and teach Hanyu Kusunoki a lesson.
But after Hanyu Kusunoki threw himself into her arms like a child and acted coquettishly, she could only sigh helplessly, reached out her hand and gently stroked his black hair, choosing to pretend that she knew nothing.
Of course, there is another main reason.
That woman was the mother of his best friend, who was his number one guinea pig.
Ai remembers clearly how Hattori Heiji offended her in Osaka before.
She, Haibara Ai, is very vindictive.
If you dare to offend Huibara Ai, your mother will be gone.
Close the door and release Hanyu Kusunoki.
After practicing sword skills in the dojo, Hanyu Kusunoki asked Mingmei to take a few photos and send them to Master Jinghua later.
To prove that I am not lazy and have practiced seriously.
This is also a necessary means to bring people closer together.
After a simple breakfast, the three of them walked towards the school with their schoolbags on their backs, watched over by the smiling little maid.
Another leisurely and pleasant day passed slowly.
……
Rice Flower Central Supermarket.
"Wow, it's raining so hard!"
Yuanzi was standing at the entrance of the supermarket holding an umbrella. She raised her little head and looked at the heavy rain outside, her face full of surprise.
She came here with Xiaolan to buy things.
The rain suddenly got heavy; it wasn't this heavy just now.
Xiaolan, carrying a few bags of things, hurried out of the supermarket after paying the bill, "Sorry to have kept you waiting, Yuanzi."
"Hehe, no."
Yuanzi smiled and reached out to help her good sister share some things.
"Dad is such a fool. He has run out of things at home and doesn't even think of going out to buy some."
Looking at the heavy rain outside, Xiaolan frowned and complained in a low voice.
Originally it was Sonoko's turn to go to the villa today, but when she returned home to prepare cooking, she found that many daily necessities in the house had been used up. Even the cooking wine had been taken away by Kogoro Mouri who had drunk too much yesterday.
In a fit of rage, Xiaolan started cursing at Kogoro Mouri, which scared Conan so much that he shrank into a corner and didn't dare to make a sound.
"Alright, alright, let's go. Ai is still waiting for me to go back and play games."
Yuanzi held an umbrella and went out impatiently.
The two of them walked towards the bus stop in front of them, talking and laughing. Just when they were about to arrive, a bus passed them and slowly stopped at the side of the platform.
"Run!"
Yuanzi reacted instantly, quickly put away the umbrella, and rushed over like a gust of wind. While running, she did not forget to turn back and shout loudly for Xiaolan to catch up, "Xiaolan, hurry up, it's too late."
"Garden!"
Xiaolan responded and quickened her pace to catch up.
After rushing for a long time, the two finally got on the car before the door closed.
After paying the fare, Yuanzi grabbed the only remaining seat, sat down, and breathed a sigh of relief, "Huh, I finally made it. I'm all wet."
"Thank you, Yuanzi. You're still here to buy things with me even though we're already at Nan's house."
Xiaolan stood aside with an embarrassed look on her pretty face.
"Oh, we are one family and we should not have different opinions!"
Sonoko winked playfully, leaned back, and yawned loudly, "Okay, I'm going to sleep now, wake me when you get there."
She needed to conserve her energy in advance so that she could prepare for the battle with Ai in the evening.
Ever since she caught Ai and Hanyu Kusunoki playing a game last time, every time after the first half of the game was over, Sonoko would force Ai, who wanted to go back to her room, to start the second half of the game.
After all, they are gaming partners, and she can’t be the only one being bullied.
We must regain the lost face in our home turf.
