Great Swordsman Ke Xue.

Chapter 578: Double Leaf's Appointment
"He Ye, please, you can represent Kaikata High School in my place!"

Mirai put one hand on He Ye's shoulder and said very seriously.

He Ye stuttered twice, pointed at himself, and looked embarrassed and guilty, "This, this is too sudden, Miraizi-senpai."

At this time, seeing He Ye's embarrassment, Xiao Lan asked: "He Ye, have you ever participated in a similar competition?"

"No, absolutely not." He Ye said repeatedly.

"But, haven't you been practicing with me all the time?"

"Uh, um," Kazuha nodded, feeling a little off.

Mirai seemed to be completely unaware of her guilt, and only gave her encouragement, "It's okay, He Ye, you have to believe in yourself."

"You have great stamina, quick reactions, and a resilient spirit. You are not afraid of anyone you see, and you are also a bit thick-skinned."

"Ah? I always feel like you're not praising me, Mirai-senpai, haha."

While the two were talking, Kensuke Achiha chatted with his secretary in a low voice for a few words, and then directly submitted his resignation to everyone.

Everyone in the room became a familiar face. Haibara Ai had walked to Shimizu Koji's side without her noticing. She first glanced at Ooka Momiji on the hospital bed, then glanced at Kazuha beside her, rolled her eyes silently, but said nothing.

"In short, He Ye, you have to believe in yourself. As long as you practice hard, you will have no problem in the competition the day after tomorrow! You will definitely be able to win the championship!"

Mirai is worthy of being a senior. After a few words of brainwashing, He Ye has obviously begun to feel a little confused.

From "Is it really possible?" to "What can't I do?"

From embarrassment and guilt, it slowly turned into - it is our responsibility to restore the glory of Gaifang!

His expression was very serious and his eyes were full of determination.

"Hahaha, it should be said that an amateur is an amateur. He wants to win the championship after only practicing for two days. How about changing the Hyakunin Isshu waka cards to basic entry-level ka cards?"

Ooka Hongye's ruthless ridicule immediately shattered He Ye's beautiful fantasy. He Ye's face turned pale, and Mirai turned her head away with dissatisfaction, "Don't look down on me!"

Although the two of them shared the same suffering at the fire scene, at this moment, when it came to karuta, they suddenly became hostile to each other, which was unexpected by Koji Shimizu.

However, seeing that Ooka Momiji was gently tickling the palm of his hand with her fingers, he did not interrupt and just watched silently.

"Although He Ye has never participated in the competition, I often practice with her and I know her strength best. Her strength has definitely reached 'A' level!"

"A-level?"

Xiaolan was a little confused. She didn't know much about karuta, and she didn't expect that this game had skill levels. It sounded very impressive.

At this moment, the two invisible men, Kogoro Mouri and Conan, were also listening with great interest. As men, although there was a big age gap between them, they would never feel bored watching girls quarreling.

"Really? A-level?"

Ooka Hongye raised her eyebrows, a little surprised, and after hearing this, she felt that the idea that had just arisen in her mind seemed to be more feasible. However, out of "politeness", she spoke softly while intentionally or unintentionally passing over Kazuha's chest.

Then she lifted her hair very naturally, and her arm accidentally touched her chest, causing ripples that, in the eyes of Kazuha and Mirai, could almost be described as 'horrifying'.

"It's not that A!" He Ye shouted with a red face.

"Ala, I haven't said anything yet~, but if your strength really reaches A-level, I won't be bullying a child if you participate in the Kagetsu Cup."

"But a dry game always seems a bit boring, so how about we add some excitement?"

Ooka Koye looked at Kazuha meaningfully. Kazuha was a little confused at first, but gradually, she understood the deep meaning of Koye's words.

She subconsciously glanced at the side of the bed and saw that Shimizu Koji was also looking at her with encouragement and expectation, and her heart was instantly filled with confidence again.

However, looking at Ooka Momiji again, and then looking at the surging snow-white color under Momiji's neck, Kazuha thought of the story of Momiji and his past that Shimizu Koji had mentioned before.

Although, although it was true that Koji agreed to her, but, but what if there was a noble lady who was like his childhood sweetheart and was always eyeing him covetously.

She, it seems like she has no chance of winning at all!

Gradually, He Ye's eyes became firm, "We can talk."

"Oh? Is that so?"

Including Shimizu Koji, the group was amicably "expelled" from the ward. Even Conan was confused and had no idea what the conflict was between Kazuha and Momiji, who had only met for a short time.

As for Kogoro Mouri, he had already started yawning. It was obvious that he was not interested in the affairs of young people other than his own Xiaolan.

Apart from Haibara Ai, among the people present, only Xiaolan knew something vaguely. After all, she was the witness of Ooka Koye's confession to Shimizu Kōji on campus.

But to Xiaolan, all this was even more magical. She couldn't understand why He Ye was also...
Wait, why did she say that?
Xiaolan felt a little depressed, but she didn't know how to say anything, because Shimizu Koji and Hattori were both her friends, and, to be honest, she and Shimizu Koji were actually more familiar with each other.

For some reason, Xiaolan suddenly thought of her mother again.

My mother's complexion has improved a lot recently. She seems to be several years younger. When I asked her what cosmetics she used, she refused to tell me. What a pity.

Oh, by the way, it seems that my mother and Shimizu-san have a pretty good relationship.
Wait, what am I thinking about, Xiaolan, Xiaolan, how can you have such nonsense thoughts!
Xiaolan's thoughts drifted away into the sky, and her empty eyes glanced at Shimizu Koji who was sitting on a chair across the corridor. Soon she was noticed by Conan.

Conan's heart skipped a beat, and he stood in front of Xiaolan without hesitation, staring with a "scary" look at Shimizu Koji who was "flirting" with Haibara Ai, but was actually just a friendly exchange between brother and sister.

"Hey, what's wrong with him? Why is he looking at you like that?"

Haibara Ai pursed her lips, and Shimizu Koji followed her gaze and saw Conan, who looked alert, and was also confused.

"I don't know. Maybe he took the wrong medicine. You know, he's not feeling normal there."

"Yeah, that's true."
