Kamo River, as an important scenic spot in Kyoto, was a popular recreational promenade for many people.
During the day, both banks of the Kamo River were filled with people leisurely reading books, jogging, picnicking, or cycling. Especially now, during cherry blossom season, it had a unique charm.
At night, the crowds here remained large. Locals in Kyoto walked their dogs and chatted, and many, many couples held hands, strolling along the riverbanks of the Kamo River.
Fujiwara Tetsu pushed a wheelchair. Sitting in the wheelchair was Daikou Kouyou. The handsome man and beautiful woman were going somewhere, and both were objects of public attention.
"Legend says that Minamoto Yoshitsune, disguised as a woman, defeated and subdued the rogue monk Musashibo Benkei, who had collected a thousand famous blades from battles."
"Besides that, there are many other legends here, but my history isn't very good. There are many historical traces and legends about Kamo River that I can't introduce to you, Tetsu-kun."
Daikou Kouyou sat in the wheelchair, her wasp waist slightly leaning back, almost resting against Fujiwara Tetsu's chest. Her bright, beautiful eyes instantly gleamed with silky charm, and in her gaze towards Fujiwara Tetsu, there was even more desire and love.
A girl who had just fallen in love was at her most attached to her lover.
However, thinking that Fujiwara Tetsu would have to return to Tokyo tomorrow, she couldn't help but feel uneasy, even having the urge to leave Kyoto and rush to Tokyo. However, even transferring schools wasn't something that could be done quickly. She could only suppress her thoughts and wait for the holidays to visit Fujiwara Tetsu in Tokyo.
"History and legends are magnificent and beautiful, but they are things of the past, far less important than the present."
"To me, none of that history is as important as you, Kouyou, in my heart."
If such words were spoken in the ears of two strangers, they would probably get goosebumps and find it too corny. But to Daikou Kouyou, this was simply the most touching romantic declaration, making her breathe quickly.
She couldn't help but raise her hand, clutching Fujiwara Tetsu's hand, and turned her head to ask softly, "Tetsu-kun, how about you stay at my house tonight?"
Daikou Kouyou just wanted to stay up all night now, clinging to Fujiwara Tetsu until he left tomorrow.
Fujiwara Tetsu was about to agree when he instinctively looked towards the embankment. He happened to see Shinomiya Kaguya and Hayasaka Ai, as well as Haibara Ai, whom he couldn't quite see clearly due to her short stature.
Daikou Kouyou followed Fujiwara Tetsu's gaze, and her eyes also met with Shinomiya Kaguya and the other three.
She unconsciously loosened her grip on Fujiwara Tetsu's hand. A nameless surprise welled up in her heart, followed by a sense of being caught doing something wrong.
But in the next instant, Daikou Kouyou raised her head, her expression proud and arrogant, and once again tightly gripped Fujiwara Tetsu's hand, provocatively looking at Shinomiya Kaguya. At this moment, more than anything else, her heart was filled with a mischievous joy.
If it were an ordinary man, meeting his 'girlfriend' while out on a date with his lover would definitely cause panic. But Fujiwara Tetsu was quite calm. Because he was not an ordinary man, and his relationship with Shinomiya Kaguya was also quite special.
The two were engaged, and in this relationship, Shinomiya Kaguya was more like a tool for a political marriage. Fujiwara Tetsu was the heir of the Fujiwara Clan. Therefore, no matter what Fujiwara Tetsu did outside, Kaguya couldn't say anything, and even the Fujiwara Clan and the Shinomiya Clan would only support Fujiwara Tetsu. Most importantly, Fujiwara Tetsu knew that Shinomiya Kaguya actually had no feelings for him, and even harbored some hidden resistance.
This seemingly aloof and calculating young girl harbored an extreme desire for freedom within her heart, silently hoping to escape the Shinomiya Clan. It was precisely for this reason that Shinomiya Kaguya was unwilling to let her heart be swayed by Fujiwara Tetsu, her fiancé arranged by her family, no matter how outstanding he was.
"Kaguya, Hayasaka, why are you here? And you, Little Haibara, you're here too."
Fujiwara Tetsu waved to the few people. Shinomiya Kaguya, wearing a white dress and black stockings on her slender legs, walked over with Hayasaka Ai and Haibara Ai.
Hayasaka Ai, disguised as a boy, bowed slightly to Fujiwara Tetsu: "Young Master Fujiwara!"
Kaguya remained silent, her icy gaze meeting Daikou Kouyou's in the wheelchair. Sparks seemed to fly between the two women.
Haibara Ai crossed her arms, saying in a cryptic tone, "Did we disturb Young Master Fujiwara's date with this young lady from the Daikou family?"
At this moment, Hayasaka Ai only wanted to give Haibara Ai a big thumbs up.
Miss Kaguya, look at her. How much spiteful talk she can say.
You, a high school student, are actually inferior to a primary school student. You're beyond saving!
Daikou Kouyou's beautiful brows furrowed almost imperceptibly. After glancing at Haibara Ai, the words she was about to say caught in her throat. For a high school student to quarrel with a primary school student was truly too undignified, especially since this girl named Haibara Ai was Tetsu-kun's younger sister, so she couldn't bring herself to say it.
But does this younger sister not like me? This won't do. I should try to win over this little brat.
Didn't they say if you want to pursue a girlfriend, you should first win over her best friend? Then winning over the younger sister of the man I like should be the correct choice, right?
Daikou Kouyou, who had never been in love, began to ponder in her heart.
At this moment, Shinomiya Kaguya seemed to have found an opening. Her gaze turned icy as she said, "Miss Daikou, since your legs aren't nimble, why are you still wandering around? Shouldn't you be resting at home?"
Daikou Kouyou responded without showing weakness: "Although my legs are not nimble now, I have Tetsu accompanying me. He is, in effect, my legs."
The two glared fiercely at each other, like needle points against wheat awns.
Just then, a cry of surprise came from not far away.
Fujiwara Tetsu and the others looked over, seeing two people actually 'dueling' by the Kamo River! One of them was familiar to him and everyone present: Heiji Hattori. The other was wearing a mask that concealed his true identity.
At this moment, the two were holding real swords and engaged in a kendo duel.
"Are they... dueling?" Daikou Kouyou had never seen such a scene before, she said in surprise.
Haibara Ai glanced at her lightly, narrowing her eyes. "Obviously not. Who would use a real samurai sword for a duel?"
"Heiji Hattori is a high school detective who loves chasing criminals. His recent serial killer is also in Kyoto. If I'm not mistaken, the person wearing the mask is that serial killer."
Haibara Ai's words were clear and logical. Starting from Heiji Hattori's identity, she explained the reason for the two's struggle in just a few sentences. This made both Daikou Kouyou and Shinomiya Kaguya blush without reason, feeling a bit ashamed.
They hadn't thought that much, but they didn't expect a primary school first-grader girl to reveal such a heavenly secret with just one sentence. This little girl was terrifying! Daikou Kouyou was even more shocked in her heart. As expected of Tetsu-kun's younger sister, she's really amazing.
However, besides Heiji Hattori and the masked man, there was another elementary school student present. Fujiwara Tetsu and Haibara Ai looked over, and it was Conan Edogawa.
The pedestrians around had not yet realized the danger, still holding their cameras and filming.
Fujiwara Tetsu, however, had a foreboding feeling. He suddenly remembered at this moment, wasn't this the content of a Conan movie? Because this movie was relatively early, and he hadn't watched the later movies, Fujiwara Tetsu hadn't seen it since he transmigrated.
At this moment, Heiji Hattori was fully focused on battling the serial killer opposite him with swordplay. He dared not be careless; the opponent's swordsmanship was truly too strong. A slight misstep could put his life in danger.
However, Heiji Hattori ultimately lacked practical experience and was directly struck in the chest by the Samurai Sword in his opponent's hand after a feint!
The intense pain made Heiji Hattori cry out in agony. He stumbled backward, leaving an extremely deep sword wound on the white shirt on his chest.
"Heiji!" Conan exclaimed in alarm and quickly rushed forward. He looked at the continuous bleeding on Heiji Hattori's wound and agitatedly said, "You must go to the hospital! Such a wound will be fatal!"
Heiji Hattori naturally knew he needed to rush to the hospital, but the killer was right in front of him; he couldn't run even if he wanted to.
The masked man, who wore Musashibo Benkei's mask, said nothing. He raised the Samurai Sword in his hand and slashed towards Heiji Hattori. Conan's heart pounded. He knew his soccer skills were useless against a real expert, but at this moment, to save Heiji Hattori, he didn't care about anything else.
And the surrounding onlookers also realized that this was not a samurai duel, but a real attempt to kill someone. They all screamed and scattered in all directions.
In the nick of time, a thud sound came from the air, and a stone flew like lightning, hitting the masked man directly in the head!
If it weren't for the masked man's skull being tough enough, this stone would probably be enough to shatter his brain. But even so, the masked man still felt dizzy and bewildered, unsure if he had a concussion.
The masked man touched his head. His hand came away with a smear of fresh blood. He glared fiercely in the direction the stone had come from and saw Fujiwara Tetsu giving him the middle finger.
"Kid, die!" The masked man's rage flared. He abandoned Heiji Hattori and shouted, charging towards Fujiwara Tetsu.
"Watch out!" Conan and Heiji Hattori shouted in alarm. Although the two had the vanity of solving cases, they also had a strong sense of justice and couldn't bear to see anyone get hurt.
After seeing who the person who threw the stone was, both their expressions became strange.
"That person is finished," Heiji Hattori sighed.
Conan nodded forcefully.
Although he was very displeased with Fujiwara Tetsu and felt that he had fooled him, at this moment, he was also extremely grateful to Fujiwara Tetsu. If it weren't for his appearance, Heiji Hattori would probably be in danger today, and might even lose his life here.
The masked man's expression was fierce. The Samurai Sword in his hand transformed into a cold light, slashing towards Fujiwara Tetsu's neck. He intended to cut off this bastard's head today!
The ladies beside Fujiwara Tetsu gasped in alarm. Even though they knew Fujiwara Tetsu was skilled in martial arts, seeing him facing a wielder of a real weapon still made their hair stand on end.
Just as the Samurai Sword was about to strike Fujiwara Tetsu's neck, he merely extended two fingers, effortlessly clamping the blade between them...
